looking statements. All forward-looking statements whether made by us or any third parties in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
are based on our current plans, estimates, presumptions and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement.

Company has businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and

violence, changes in laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in our industry.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from operations from our top ten customers, with our single largest
customer contributing 34.47%, of our revenue from operations in the Fiscal 2024.
2. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from our soft profile extrusion and glass component products.
3. Our business and profitability is substantially dependent on the availability and cost of our raw materials and we are
dependent on third party suppliers for meeting our raw material requirements which are on purchase order basis.
4. Our business is dependent and will continue to depend on our manufacturing facilities, and we are subject to certain
risks in our manufacturing process.
5. A significant portion (more than 92.73%, 93.83%, 92.88%, 93.00% and 90.10%) of our revenue from operations in
each of the three months period ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and in Fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively
is attributable to our OEM customers operating in the consumer durable sector.
6. We face competition from national and local players and our inability to compete effectively may have a material
adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
7. Five of our ten manufacturing facilities are concentrated in Greater Noida in the National Capital Region of India.
8. Our plans to expand our capacity in toughened glass, rigid profile extrusion magnetic strip extrusion are subject to the
risk of unanticipated delays in implementation and cost overruns.
9. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial
Personnel, and Senior Management Personnel as well as our ability to attract and retain personnel with technical
expertise.
10. We are dependent on the continuity of production of our OEM customers, and any disruption to one or more of our
major OEM Customers for a significant period of time could materially and adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from our estimates and expectations, see “Risk
Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations”
on pages 29, 205 and 358 respectively.
Forward-looking statements reflect our views as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee of
future performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on
currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based
are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these
17
assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, the Promoter Selling Shareholders, the
Syndicate, the Book Running Lead Managers, nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise
revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even
if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. There can be no assurance to Bidders that the expectations reflected in
these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, Bidders are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our future performance.

*Names of the customers have not been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus due to non-receipt of consent from such customers
to be named in the Offer Documents.
We rely and expect that we will continue to be reliant on our top 10 customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. The
loss of any of our top 10 customers (in particular our largest customer) for any reason including due to loss of, or failure to
renew existing arrangements; limitation to meet any change in quality specification, change in technology; regulatory
changes, disputes with a customer; adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers, such as possible bankruptcy
or liquidation or other financial hardship or a reduction in the demand for our products by any of our top customers could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We usually do not enter into long-term supply contracts with any of our customers and typically rely on periodic purchase
orders. Prices are negotiated with customers for each purchase order. We sell our products domestically on a cost, insurance
and freight basis, on a consignee basis and on a door delivery or delivery duty paid basis and in case of export either freight
on board or cost, insurance and freight basis. The purchase orders are typically subject to delivery, quality conditions
including, right of buyer to conduct inspection of the delivered products to ensure conformity with the specifications and
compliance with Indian or international standards. However, such orders may be amended or cancelled prior to finalisation,
and should such an amendment or cancellation take place, we may not be able to shift the volume produced to other
customers. We determine the prices for our products, based on various parameters, including market demand, our production
capacity, transportation costs, raw materials costs, competitors’ prices and credit terms.
There is no assurance that our customers (in particular our top 10 customers) will continue to source products from us at
volumes or rates consistent with, and commensurate to, the amount of business received from them historically, or at all.
Any decrease in the demand for our products from our top 10 customers, or a termination of our arrangements altogether,
would adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
2. We are dependent on, and derive a substantial portion of our revenue from our toughened glass and polymer extrusion.
Failure to diversify the product portfolio or a reduction in orders for our soft profile extrusion and glass product lines
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are dependent on our revenue from our soft profile extrusion and glass component products. The table below shows our
revenue from operations by product for the periods indicated.

While we continue to expand our product lines and develop other products, our soft profile extrusion and glass component
products will continue to comprise a significant percentage of our operating revenue. Consequently, if we are unable to
maintain or expand our sales volumes in these product categories for any reason, maintain our relationship with our key
OEM and other customers in these product lines and/or diversify our customer base, we may experience material fluctuations
or decline in our revenue and reduction in our operating margins, as a result of which our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, cancellation or delay or reduction in orders for
our soft profile extrusion and glass component products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
30
operations and financial condition. Furthermore, failure to diversify our product portfolio in response to changing market
conditions or customer preferences could impact the company’s long-term growth prospects and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
3. Our business and profitability is substantially dependent on the availability and cost of our raw materials and we are
dependent on third party suppliers for meeting our raw material requirements which are on purchase order basis. Any
disruption to the timely and adequate supply of raw materials, or volatility in the prices of raw materials may adversely
impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our major raw materials and components for our manufacturing processes include virgin Polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) resin,
refined soya bean oil, hydrogen peroxide, chlorinated polyethylene (“CPE”), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”), high-
impact polystyrene (“HIPS”), iron oxide, barium carbonate, strontium carbonate and clear float glass and glass printing
inks. We purchase these materials from local suppliers in India, internationally or in the open market. The price of PVC
resin, clear float glass and refined soya bean oil is highly volatile and linked to global market conditions, global shipping
costs, energy cost and demand/supply conditions. PVC is a petroleum product so its price is linked to the price of crude oil,
which has been volatile, in particular, due to hostilities between Ukraine and Russia and hostilities between Israel and Iran.
Price increases of our raw materials could materially impact our production costs and profitability and consequently have
an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The table below sets forth our cost of materials and our cost of materials as a percentage of total expenses for periods
indicated.

*Names of the suppliers have not been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus due to non-receipt of consent from such suppliers
to be named in the Offer Documents.
We have not entered into long term contracts for the supply of our raw materials and typically source raw materials from
third-party suppliers under monthly purchase orders. In the case of PVC resin, prices are subject to change even after making
a purchase order. We generally have multiple sources for all our key raw materials to ensure our requirements are met.
Although we have not had any material disruptions in the supply of raw materials in the three months period ended June 30,
2024 or in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, in the absence of long term contracts, we may encounter situations where
we might be unable to manufacture and deliver our products due to, amongst other reasons, our inability to procure raw
materials for our products. As a result, the success of our business is significantly dependent on maintaining good
relationships with our raw material suppliers. Absence of long-term supply contracts subject us to risks such as price
volatility caused by various factors such as commodity market fluctuations, currency fluctuations, climatic and
environmental conditions, production and transportation cost, changes in domestic government policies, and regulatory and
trade sanctions. Additionally, our inability to predict the market conditions may result in us placing supply orders for
31
inadequate quantities of such raw materials. Our customer purchaser orders are usually on a quarterly or six-month basis
based on the average buying price of raw materials with the differences above or below these averages adjusted with the
customer.
Further, our suppliers may not perform their obligations in a timely manner or at all, resulting in possible delays in our
operations. Although we have had no suppliers declare a force majeure event in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and
in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, in the event of a supply disruption in the future we may not be able to locate
such alternate supplies of raw material in a timely manner or at all or at commercially acceptable terms.
Our imported materials included clear float glass, CPE and ink for glass printing. In the three months ended June 30, 2024
and June 30, 2023 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, our imported raw materials as a percentage of total raw
materials purchased represented 1.80%, 3.47%, 7.38%, 7.09% and 7.49% respectively.
The table below sets forth raw materials purchased from suppliers in India and outside India for the periods indicated.

Any restriction on purchase of materials, components and equipment from outside India could have an adverse effect on our
ability to deliver products to our customers, and our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, if there
are any trade restrictions, sanctions or higher tariffs placed by India on purchases made from other countries or similar
restrictions are placed by the exporting country for supply of products to India, such trade restrictions, sanctions or higher
tariffs may significantly impact our sourcing decisions and may lead to increased cost of purchase, and shortages of raw
materials. Trade restrictions, sanctions or higher tariffs, if imposed in future, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
4. Our business is dependent and will continue to depend on our manufacturing facilities, and we are subject to certain
risks in our manufacturing process. Any slowdown or shutdown in our manufacturing operations that could interfere
with our operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We manufacture consumer appliance components and other products at our 10 manufacturing facilities. Our business is
dependent upon our ability to manage our manufacturing facilities, which are subject to various operating risks, including
those beyond our control, such as the malfunction or failure of equipment as well as industrial accidents, severe weather
conditions and natural disasters. These risks are heightened at our facilities which produce key raw materials for our products
like soft profile extrusion plant in Greater Noida that makes gaskets, our barium ferrite powder plant in Greater Noida, our
epoxydized soya oil plant in Greater Noida and our magnetic strip plant, in Greater Noida. In the event of serious disruption,
we would use unaffected facilities to make up for some or all of lost production and could also purchase key raw materials
like epoxydized soya oil, magnet powder and magnetic strips in the market in the event our in house production was
disrupted. During the three months period ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we have
not experienced any such serious disruptions; however, if we are not able to manage future disruptions, our business, results
of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Any significant malfunction or failure of our machinery, our equipment, our automation systems, our IT systems or any
other part of our manufacturing processes or systems (together, our “Manufacturing Assets”) may entail significant repair
and maintenance costs and cause delays in our operations. Although we have not had any incidents during the three months
period ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we cannot assure you that we will not
experience any malfunction or failure of our Manufacturing Assets in the future. If we are unable to repair Manufacturing
Assets in a timely manner or at all, our operations may need to be suspended until we procure the appropriate Manufacturing
Assets to replace them. In addition, we may be required to carry out planned shutdowns of our facilities for maintenance,
32
statutory inspections, quality inspections by our customers or by certifying agencies like the BIS or may shut down certain
facilities for capacity expansion and equipment upgrades.
Although we have not experienced any significant disruptions at our manufacturing facilities during the three months ended
June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we cannot assure you that there will not be any significant
disruptions in our operations in the future. Our inability to effectively respond to such events and rectify any such disruption
in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost, could lead to the slowdown or shutdown of our operations or the under-
utilization of our manufacturing facilities, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition. Further, our manufacturing facilities have been strategically located near customers and customer
hubs. If our customers shift their operations to other regions, our transportation costs would increase which could adversely
affect our business and results of operations.
5. A significant portion (more than 92.73%, 93.83%, 92.88%, 93.00% and 90.10%) of our revenue from operations in each
of the three months period ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and in Fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively is
attributable to our OEM customers operating in the consumer durable sector. Any adverse changes in these sectors or
any other sector in which our customers operate could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our customers are primarily appliance OEMs (multi-national and Indian) with whom we collaborate on design and
development. We cater to sectors such as consumer durables, commercial refrigeration, automotive, interior design and
furnishings and other industrial sectors.
The table below sets forth our revenue by customer sector for the periods indicated.
For the three month period June 30, For the three month period June 30,

Others 31.46 3.60% 67.00 5.15%
Total 873.62 100.00% 1,301.31 100.00%
We are significantly dependent on consumer durable OEMs for our revenues. Factors affecting the consumer durable
industry could have a cascading adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although
certain factors, such as general macroeconomic and consumer trends, have a direct impact on demand for consumer durable
products, others can have indirect consequences that are difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that we will not be
affected by any significant events impacting the consumer durable sector or any other sectors in which our customers operate
in the future which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial performance.
The prices of our consumer durable components and other products generally fluctuate based on a number of factors, such
as, the availability and cost of raw material inputs, fluctuations in domestic and international demand and supply, domestic
production and capacity of both components and the appliances themselves, transportation costs, protective trade measures
and various social and political factors, in India and are sensitive to the cyclical trends of the consumer appliance industry.
When downturns occur, we may experience decreased demand for our consumer appliance components and other products,
which may lead to decrease in prices, which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects. In addition, substantial decreases in product prices during periods of economic weakness
have not always been balanced by commensurate price increases during periods of economic strength. Any sustained price
recovery will most likely require a broad economic recovery, in order to underpin an increase in real demand for consumer
durable products by end users.
33
6. We face competition from national and local players and our inability to compete effectively may have a material adverse
impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although the consumer appliance component industry provides for significant entry barriers, competition in our business is
based on pricing, relationships with customers particularly with OEMs, product quality, and compliance with government
regulation including environmental regulation. (F&S Report, dated December 27, 2024). We face pricing pressures from
national, regional and local companies that are able to produce components and tempered / toughened glass at competitive
costs and consequently, may supply their products at cheaper prices. We are unable to assure you that we shall be able to
meet the pricing pressures imposed by such competitors which would adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
Additionally, some of our competitors may have greater financial, research and technological resources, larger sales and
marketing teams and more established reputations. They may also be in a better position to identify market trends, adapt to
changes in the Indian consumer appliance industries, innovate with new products, offer competitive prices due to economies
of scale and ensure product quality and compliance. Further, our competitors may enter into contract manufacturing
arrangements with our customers for products that they are currently purchasing from us that could result in the loss of such
customer or loss of revenue from such customer. For further details regarding our industry peers, see “Industry Overview –
Competitive Landscape” on beginning on page 140.
7. Five of our ten manufacturing facilities are concentrated in Greater Noida in the National Capital Region of India. Any
significant social, political, economic or seasonal disruption, natural calamities or civil disruptions in the NCR or in
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab and Tamil Nadu where our other manufacturing facilities are located could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have five of our ten manufacturing facilities concentrated in Greater Noida in the NCR and we have two in manufacturing
facilities in Maharashtra and one in each of Gujarat, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Our manufacturing facilities and our operations
are susceptible to local and regional factors, such as economic and weather conditions, natural disasters, political,
demographic and population changes, adverse regulatory developments civil unrest and other unforeseen events and
circumstances. Such disruptions could result in the damage or destruction of one or more of our manufacturing capabilities,
significant delays in shipments of our products and/or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations. The occurrence of any of these events could require us to incur significant capital expenditure or
change our business structure or strategy, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, future
cash flows and financial condition. While we have not faced any such disruptions in the past in our operations due to the
concentration of five of our manufacturing facilities in the NCR nor in our locations in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab or
Tamil Nadu, we cannot assure you that there will not be any significant developments in these regions in the future that may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, we many in the future expand to other
parts of India where customers or customer clusters are located. Any significant social, political, economic or seasonal
disruption, natural calamities or civil disruptions in areas of future expansion could also adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition in the future.
8. Our plans to expand our capacity in toughened glass, rigid profile extrusion magnetic strip extrusion are subject to the
risk of unanticipated delays in implementation and cost overruns. If we are unable to implement the expansion plans at
the planned cost, it could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As on November 30, 2024, our Company operates five manufacturing facilities located in Greater Noida in the NCR, two
located in Maharashtra (Karegaon and Shirwal) and one located in Sanand (Gujarat); Mohali (Punjab); and Chennai (Tamil
Nadu). In order to support our growth strategy and enhance market position with focus on additional capacity for
manufacturing of toughened glass, magnetic strips and rigid profile extrusion , and operational efficiency, we intend to
increase our manufacturing capacity at our existing facility at Noida Unit-IV, Karegaon Unit and Chennai Unit .Accordingly
we intend to utilize up to ₹ 649.68 million towards purchase of machinery for additional capacity for manufacturing of
toughened glass, magnetic strips and rigid profile extrusion at our existing production facilities in Noida Unit-IV, Noida
Unit-V, Karegaon Unit, Shirwal Unit, Chennai Unit, and our Registered Office in order to increase the automated processes
available at such facilities as well as for the replacement of existing machinery, for facility improvisations For further
information, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 102
Our expansion project to increase our capacity of toughened glass, magnetic strips and rigid profile extrusion is subject to
the potential problems and uncertainties including cost overruns or delays. Problems that could adversely affect backward
integration project include increased costs of equipment or manpower, inadequate performance of the equipment and
machinery installed in our manufacturing facility, delays in completion, defects in design or construction, the possibility of
unanticipated future regulatory restrictions, labour shortages, delays in receiving governmental, statutory and other
regulatory approvals as we apply for them at various stages of the project, incremental pre-operating expenses, unforeseen
taxes and duties, interest and finance charges, environment and ecology costs and other external factors which may not be
within the control of our management.
34
There can be no assurance that our capacity expansion project will be completed as planned or on schedule, and if they are
not completed in a timely manner, or at all, our budgeted costs may be insufficient to meet our proposed capital expenditure
requirements. If our actual capital expenditures significantly exceed our budgets, or even if our budgets were sufficient to
cover these projects, we may not be able to achieve the intended economic benefits of these projects, which in turn may
materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to complete the aforementioned expansion and additions in accordance with the proposed
schedule of implementation and any delay could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
9. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel,
and Senior Management Personnel as well as our ability to attract and retain personnel with technical expertise. Our
inability to retain our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel or our ability
to attract and retain other personnel with technical expertise could adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
We depend on the management skills and guidance of our Promoters and Board of Directors for development of business
strategies, monitoring their successful implementation and meeting future challenges. Further, we also significantly depend
on the expertise, experience and continued efforts of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel. Any
loss of our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel or our ability to attract and
retain them and other skilled personnel could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our future performance will depend largely on our ability to retain the continued service of our management team. If one or
more of our Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management Personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in his or her
present position, it could be difficult for us to find a suitable or timely replacement and our business, results of operations
and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, we may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when personnel with technical
expertise terminate their employment with us. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation
more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting and retaining personnel with technical expertise that our
business requires. The loss of the services of such persons could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
The table below set forth the attrition rate for our employees for the periods indicated:
While these positions have been appropriately filled and we have not faced any impact due to the resignations, we cannot
assure that future resignations will not have any impact on the Company’s business or operations.
There is significant competition for management and other skilled personnel in the consumer appliance component industry
in which we operate, and it may be difficult to attract and retain the personnel we require in the future. There can be no
assurance that our competitors will not offer better compensation packages, incentives and other perquisites to such skilled
personnel. Further, as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have key man insurance policies. If we
are not able to attract and retain talented employees as required for conducting our business, or if we experience high attrition
levels which are largely out of our control, or if we are unable to motivate and retain existing employees, our business,
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. For further information, see “Our Management” on
page 244.
10. We are dependent on the continuity of production of our OEM customers, and any disruption to one or more of our
major OEM Customers for a significant period of time could materially and adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our customers are primarily OEMs (multi-national and Indian) in the consumer durable sector with whom we collaborate
on design and development. The table below sets forth our revenue from consumer durable OEMs for the periods indicated.

As our revenues from these OEMs depend on purchase orders for our components and glass, we are dependent on the
continuity of their production. Purchase orders from our OEM customers could be lost or volume reduced due to any
disruption to our OEM customers production due to operational disruptions caused by significant malfunction or failure of
their machinery, equipment or systems, labour disputes or strikes, environmental or safety issues, regulatory actions, natural
disasters or other changes in their manufacturing circumstances. Loss or reduction of purchase orders from one or more our
major OEM customers for a significant period of time due to such production issues could materially and adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

incorporated outside India. There can be no assurance that the Regional Director, Western Region, Mumbai will not take an
adverse view and impose penalties on Company in this regard. In the event that any adverse actions are taken against us, our
results of operations and profitability could be adversely affected.
13. We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under our financing agreements. Any non-compliance may
lead to, amongst others, accelerated repayment schedule, enforcement of security and suspension of further drawdowns,
which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Some of the financing arrangements entered into by us include conditions that require our Company to obtain respective
lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. As of November 30, 2024, we
had total borrowings (consisting of non-current borrowings and current borrowings) of ₹ 1,290.39 million. Failure to meet
these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. These
covenants vary depending on the requirements of the financial institution extending such loan and the conditions negotiated
under each financing agreement. Some of the corporate actions that require prior consents from certain lenders include,
amongst others, changes to the (a) capital structure of our Company, (b) Company’s constitution documents including
amending the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company, (c) management set-up of our
Company, and (d) formulation of any scheme of expansion, modernisation, diversification, amalgamation or reconstruction,
and (e) merger, de-merger, amalgamation, acquisition, buy -back, re-organization and/or disposition of assets of the
Company. Failure to comply with these covenants in the future may restrict or delay our ability to undertake certain corporate
actions or initiatives. Except as disclosed below, we have not defaulted on any covenants in financing agreements in the
past, further, we cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case in the future.
A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents/ waivers, constitute
defaults under the relevant financing agreements and will entitle the respective lenders to declare a default against us and
enforce remedies under the terms of the financing agreements, that include, among others, acceleration of amounts due under
such facilities, enforcement of any security interest created under the financing agreements and taking possession of the
assets given as security in respect of the financing agreements. If the obligations under any of our financing documents are
accelerated, we may have to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing
documents, thereby reducing the availability of cash for our working capital requirements and other general corporate
purposes. In addition, during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising,
further financing. A default by us under the terms of any financing agreement may also trigger a cross-default under some
of our other financing agreements, or any other agreements or instruments of our containing cross-default provisions, which
may individually or in aggregate, have an adverse effect on our operations, financial position and credit rating. For further
information on our borrowings, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 393.
14. Some of our manufacturing facilities are located on industrial land allotted to us by industrial development corporations.
Failure to comply with the conditions of use of such land could result in an adverse impact on our business and financial
condition.
Certain manufacturing facilities of our Company are situated on industrial land allocated by industrial development
corporations, including State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu Limited (“SIPCOT”). We have entered into
lease agreements with SIPCOT, dated March 19, 2008, and March 28, 2012, for land located at Plot Number L-92, SIPCOT
Industrial Park, Chennai, India where we operate our Chennai Unit. These lease agreements impose specific obligations,
including obtaining prior consent from SIPCOT for certain actions, such as changes to the constitutional status or
management of our Company, which may arise as part of our business operations.
We have requested consent and a no-objection certificate (“NOC”) from SIPCOT via a letter dated December 23, 2024, and
as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are awaiting their response. While we expect to receive the NOC
prior to the filing of the Red Herring Prospectus, we cannot provide any assurance to this effect. Non-compliance with these
conditions could result in penalties or adjustments to the cost of the leased land, as determined by the relevant authorities.
Furthermore, there is no certainty that we will be able to retain or renew these leases on the same or similar terms, or that
we will secure alternate locations for our manufacturing facilities and/or offices on terms favorable to us, or at all. Any such
developments could adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.
15. There have been certain instances of untraceable information for filings done by our Company. Consequently, we may
be subject to regulatory actions and penalties for any such non-compliance and our business, financial condition and
reputation may be adversely affected.
There have been certain instances of untraceable information for filings done by our Company in the past including Form 2
for certain allotments made by our Company on November 19, 1981, April 19, 1986, November 28, 1991 and May 15, 1992.
Information in relation to such share allotments has been disclosed in the section “Capital Structure”, on page 85 of this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
We have been unable to trace these documents despite commissioning a detailed search at the Registrar of Companies
through an independent practicing company secretary, Pankaj Nigam & Associates, independent practicing company
secretaries who has issued certificate dated December 19, 2024 in this regard. We have also intimated the Registrar of
Companies by way of our letter dated December 19, 2024 regarding the missing corporate records.
We cannot assure you that the abovementioned corporate records will be available in the future. Although no regulatory
action / litigation is pending against us in relation to such untraceable secretarial and other corporate records and documents,
we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to penalties imposed by regulatory authorities in this respect. We have
included these details in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus by way of other corporate records, such as the relevant board
38
resolutions and the register of members, and corporate filings, of our Company. While our Company maintains appropriate
diligence to prevent such instances, there can be no assurances that we will be able to trace the relevant documents in the
future. While there has been no impact on our financial condition or any statutory or regulatory proceedings initiated in this
regard as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we cannot assure you that the relevant corporate records will
become available in the future or that regulatory proceedings or actions will not be initiated against us in the future, and that
we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the competent regulatory authority in this respect.
16. If white goods companies that currently outsource component manufacturing in India decide to reduce or cease
outsourcing, our sales could be adversely affected, which in turn could result in an adverse impact on our business and
financial condition.
We manufacture consumer and commercial appliance components and other products for OEMs and other companies in
India. The Indian consumer and commercial appliances market is large, complex, and highly competitive, requires brands
to be involved in all activities along the value chain, most brands focus on marketing and after-sales services. The inclination
of OEM brands to outsource manufacturing of components instead of building their own infrastructure is the driving factor
for the growth of Indian consumer and commercial appliance components market.
We believe that we have benefited from this outsourcing trend in large part due to our flexibility and ability to reduce costs
in manufacturing these products and our ability to stand by our customers to meet their requirements in quantity and in
quality An OEM customer’s or other customer’s decision to outsource is affected by its ability and capacity for internal
manufacturing and the competitive advantages of outsourcing. There can be no assurance that the customers will continue
to outsource or increase the share of outsourcing. In addition, our customers may decide to backward integrate their
businesses, which could reduce their purchases of our products. For more information regarding our industry peers, see
“Industry Overview – Competitive Landscape” beginning on page 140.
If branded OEMs in the consumer and commercial appliance market, reduce or stop outsourcing the manufacturing of their
products or components, and decide to bring these operations in-house or if they switch to other suppliers, it could affect
our future growth and our business, results of operations and financial condition. This shift may result in reduced demand
for our products and services, negatively impacting our sales and operating results.
17. Under-utilization of our installed manufacturing capacities and an inability to effectively utilize our capacities could
have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects and future financial performance. Further, our inability to
accurately forecast demand for our products may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We manufacture our consumer appliance components and other products at our 10 manufacturing facilities. Our installed
capacity, actual production and utilization of our products is provided in “Our Business – Manufacturing - Capacity,
Production and Capacity Utilization” on page 226. Under-utilization of our existing manufacturing capacities and an
inability to effectively utilize such manufacturing capacities in the future could have an adverse effect on our business,
prospects and future financial performance.
We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production
schedules, personnel requirements and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer orders for our
products. We adjust our production periodically to meet the anticipated demand of our customers or significantly reduce
production of certain products depending on potential orders. Changes in demand for our products could make it difficult to
schedule production and lead to a mismatch of production and capacity utilization. Any such mismatch leading to over or
under utilization of our manufacturing facilities could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
18. We are dependent on our in-house research and development and product development activities for our future success.
If we do not continuously innovate to improve our offerings in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, results
of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our in-house design & developments and product development department focuses on product designing, die and mould
designing and prototype designing. The table below sets forth the strength of our in house design & developments department
as at the dates indicated:
Our in-house design & developments department has the capabilities to verify and develop OEM designs received from
39
customers and convert such designs into deliverable component products by improving the designs, recommending suitable
raw materials and testing of trial products. Innovation and applied engineering continue to be the key determinant for our
success. The development and commercialisation of our products are complex, time-consuming, costly and involve a high
degree of business risk. We may encounter unexpected delays in the development of new products and these new products
may not perform as we expect.
The success of our products will depend on several factors, including our ability to engineer them to the high standards
requirement by regulators, certifying agencies and our customers, to properly anticipate customer needs; to obtain timely
regulatory approvals; to establish collaborations with suppliers and customers; to develop and manufacture our products in
a timely and cost-effective manner through our product development efforts; and to market and sell our products
successfully. In addition, the development and commercialisation of our products are characterised by significant upfront
costs, including costs associated with product development activities, obtaining regulatory approvals and certifications and
building manufacturing processes. If we do not successfully develop new products in a timely, cost-effective manner that is
attractive to our customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The components and products that we manufacture are subject to technological change. These changes may affect the
demand for our products. Our future performance will depend on the successful development, introduction and market
acceptance of new, improved and enhanced products and services that address technological changes as well as current and
potential customer requirements and changing market trends. New products based on new or improved technologies may
render existing products obsolete. In addition, a slowdown in demand for our existing products could result in a write-down
in the value of inventory on hand related to existing products and/or a charge for the impairment of long-lived assets related
to such products. If our customers defer or cancel orders for existing products and services in the expectation of changes in
the market, regulatory requirements or a new product release or if there is any delay in development or introduction of our
new products or enhancements of our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely
affected.
As part of our strategy and to cater to the changing customer preferences and market trends, we have introduced various new
component product offerings in recent years. However, there is possibility that we may miss a market opportunity because
we failed to invest, or invested too late, or were unable to enter into an arrangement with a technology partner, in a technology
product or enhancement sought by our customers.
Changes in market demand or investment priorities may also cause us to discontinue existing or planned development for
new equipment, which can have an adverse effect on our relationships with customers. If we fail to make the right
investments or fail to make them at the right time or our failure to manage the introduction of new products and services in
line with our strategy and as per the changing customer preferences and market trends could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For further information, also see “-If we do not continue to invest in new technologies and equipment, our existing
machines and equipment may become obsolete, leading to inefficiencies and increased production costs relative to our
competitors, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.” on page
57.
19. We are subject to strict quality requirements, regular inspections and audits by our customers, and any failure to comply
with quality standards may lead to cancellation of existing and future orders and could negatively impact our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We may be exposed to risks of products recalls and returns or where products are returned to be reworked. We develop,
manufacture and market a diverse range of consumer appliance components. Our products go through various quality checks
at various stages including random sampling check and quality check internally. Certain of our key customers have audited
our facilities and manufacturing processes in the past and may undertake similar audits periodically in the future. These
successful audits play a critical role in customer retention, and although we have not experienced any loss of customers due
to audits in the past, any issues that arise during these audits may lead to loss of the particular customer. Further, failure of
our products to meet prescribed quality standards may result in rejection and reworking of our products.
The table below sets forth our total returns and rejections and such returns and rejections as a percentage of revenue from
operations for the periods indicated:
Three months period ended June 30, 2023 Three months period ended June 30, 2024
Particulars % of revenue from % of revenue from

While we have put in place quality control procedures, we cannot assure that our products will always be able to satisfy our
prescribed quality standards. Our quality control procedures may fail to test for all possible conditions of use or identify all
defects in the manufacturing of our products. While we have not faced such challenges in past, any failure on our part to
successfully maintain quality standards for our products may affect our customer relationships, which may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
20. We may be exposed to potential product liability claims which could adversely affect our results of operation, goodwill
and the marketability of our products.
We may be exposed to potential product liability claims, and the severity and timing of such claims are unpredictable. While
we have not taken insurance to protect us from such claims, we have not been subject to product liability lawsuits in the
past, we face the risk of loss resulting from, and the adverse publicity associated with, product liability lawsuits, whether
such claims are valid. We may also be subject to claims resulting from manufacturing defects, contamination, adulteration,
product tampering or negligence in production, storage or handling which may lead to the deterioration of our products. We
have not been subject to such claims during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or
Fiscal 2022, product liability claims, regardless of their merits or the ultimate success of the defence against them, are
expensive. Even unsuccessful product liability claims would likely require us to incur substantial amounts on litigation and
require our management’s time and focus. Accordingly, such product liability claims, may adversely affect our results of
operation, goodwill and the marketability of our products.
21. The success of our business and operations are dependent upon certain quality accreditations which are valid for a
limited time period. An inability to renew such accreditations in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our
business and prospects. In addition, third party certifying agencies like the Bureau of Indian Standards may change their
norms, standards and regulations from time to time, and we may need to make changes to our products or processes to
comply with any such changes
Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001:2015 (quality management system), ISO 14001: 2015 (environmental
management system), ISO 45001: 2007 (occupational health and safety) certified. We are also SA 8000 (2014) compliant
for workers’ rights and workplace conditions. These certifications are typically valid for a period of three years from the
date of decision with surveillance audits conducted once a year. In addition our products meet requirements of the Bureau
of Indian Standards (“BIS”), which make us a preferred manufacturing partner in India for our customers. Our products also
adhere to the environmental and safety standards of REACH SVHC (European Union) and are Restriction of Hazardous
Substances Directive (RoHS) compliant in the European Union.
Receipt of certifications and accreditations under the standards of quality is important for the success and wide acceptability
of our products and also required to be maintained under certain purchasing agreements with our customers for specific
products. If we fail to comply with the requirements for applicable quality standards, or if we are otherwise unable to obtain
or renew such quality accreditations in the future, in a timely manner, or at all, our business and prospects may be adversely
affected. In addition, third party certifying agencies like the BIS may change their norms, standards and regulations from
time to time, and we may need to make changes to our products or processes to comply with any such changes, which could
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
22. We may be subject to industrial unrest and increased employee costs, which may adversely affect our business and results
of operations.
As of November 30, 2024, our workforce comprises of 580 permanent employees. Our employee benefits expense comprise
payments made to all the personnel on our payroll and engaged in our operations. The table below sets forth our employee
benefits expenses, including as a percentage of revenue from operations, for the periods indicated:
Three months period ended June 30, 2023 Three months period ended June 30, 2024

Our manufacturing operations are significantly dependent on the cooperation and continued support of our workforce,
particularly our employees and personnel. Strikes or work stoppages by our workforce at our manufacturing facilities could
halt our production activities which could impact our ability to deliver customer orders in a timely manner or at all, which could
adversely affect the results of our operations and reputation. We do not have any registered labour unions at our manufacturing
facilities and there have been no disruptions to our manufacturing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and
during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022 on account of labour-related disputes including strikes, lockouts, or collective
bargaining arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will not experience work disruptions in the future due to
disputes or other problems with our workforce. Any such event, at our current facilities or at any new facilities that we may
commission in the future, may adversely affect our ability to operate our business and serve our customers, and impair our
relationships with certain key customers, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
23. We are dependent on contract labour and any disruption to the supply of such labour for our manufacturing facilities or
our inability to control the composition and cost of our contract labour could adversely affect our operations.
Our workforce includes personnel that we engage through independent contractors. The table below sets forth details of our
contract labourers as at the dates indicated:
Although we do not engage these labourers directly, we may be held responsible for any wage payments to these labourers in
the event of default by our independent contractors. While the amount paid in such an event can be recovered from the
independent contractor, any significant requirement to fund the wage requirements of the engaged labourers or delay in
recovering such amounts from the contractors may have an adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations. We incur
certain contract labour charges for engaging workforce through independent contractors.
We are also subject to the laws and regulations in India governing employees, including in relation to minimum wage and
maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of employees, contract labour and work
permits. These laws and regulations have, however, become increasingly stringent and it is possible that they will become
significantly more stringent in the future. For instance, the GoI has recently introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019; (b)
the Code on Social Security, 2020; (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the
Industrial Relations Code, 2020 which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations.
While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been notified, we are yet to determine the impact of all or
some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future and increase
our expenses. Furthermore, any upward revision of wages that may be required by the state government to be paid to such
contract labourers would increase our costs and may adversely affect the business and results of our operations. For instance,
recently the Labour, Skill Development and Employment Department, Government of Gujarat, has pursuant to a notification
dated March 27, 2023 under the Minimum Wages act, 1948, increased the basic wage of workers by approximately 24% for
skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labour under the Minimum Wages act, 1948. Any similar upward revisions could have an
adverse impact on our costs and profitability in the future.
If we are unable to obtain the services of skilled and unskilled workmen or at reasonable rates, it may adversely affect our
business and results of operations. In addition, our manufacturing process is dependent on a technology driven production
systems and any inability of the contract labourers to familiarize themselves with such technology could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
24. We use third party transportation and logistics service providers for delivery of our products to our customers as well as
raw materials to our manufacturing facilities. Any delay in delivery of our products or raw materials or increase in the
charges of these entities could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also may
be exposed to the risk of theft, accidents and/or loss of our products in transit.
Our manufacturing operations are dependent on timely and cost-efficient transportation of raw materials to our facilities and of
the products we manufacture to our customers. We have strategically located our manufacturing facilities near our major
customers. We do not own any vehicles for the transportation of our products and instead use third party transportation and
logistics providers for delivery of our products. We also use third party transportation providers for the delivery of raw materials.
We do not have any contractual arrangements with any such third-party transportation and logistics providers, and they could
42
stop providing transportation at any time. Any disruption in services by such third-party transportation provider could impact
our manufacturing operations and delivery of our products to our customers. Further, transportation strikes could also have an
adverse effect on supplies and deliveries to and from our customers and suppliers. Although during the three months ended
June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we did not face any significant disruptions due to our use
of third party transportation and logistics service providers, any disruptions of logistics in the future could impair our ability to
deliver our products on time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The following table sets forth our freight and cartage on sales charges and such charges as a percentage of total expenses in the
periods indicated.
Three months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30,

Particulars
₹ % of total ₹ % of total

In addition, we pay for transportation costs in relation to the delivery of our certain of raw materials and other inputs to our
manufacturing facilities. We are subject to the risk of increases in freight costs. If we cannot fully offset any increases in freight
costs through increases in the prices for our products, we would experience lower margins.
Furthermore, we are exposed to the risk of theft, accidents and/or loss of our products in transit. While we believe we have
adequately insured ourselves against such risk, we cannot assure you that our insurance will be sufficient to cover the losses
arising due to such theft, accidents and/or loss of our products in transit. While there have been no instances of theft, accident
or loss not covered by insurance or transportation strikes during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024,
Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we cannot assure you that such incidents will not occur in future. Any such acts could result in
serious liability claims (for which we may not be adequately insured) which could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
25. Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus contain information from the F&S Report which we commissioned

15.
26. We are dependent on third parties for the supply of utilities, such as electricity, water and fuel and any disruption in the
supply of such utilities could adversely affect our manufacturing operations
43
For our production of our products, we use power, water and fuel to run our machines, equipment and in the production
processes itself. Our power requirements are sourced through the local state power grid. We also consume a large amount of
water for our operations, which is sourced locally. We also procure fuel from local suppliers.
The table below sets forth our expenses for power, fuel and water for the periods indicated:
Three months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30,
Particulars 2023 2024
₹ million % of total expenses ₹ million % of total expenses
Power and fuel 56.97 7.31% 81.48 7.15%
Any interruption in the continuous supply of power, water and fuel in the future may negatively impact our manufacturing
processes, which may result in delays in delivery of our products or non-delivery, resulting in loss of revenue and damage to
our reputation or customer relationship. In case of unavailability of any supply from, any of our utility providers for any reason,
we are unable to assure you that we shall be able to source such utilities from alternate sources in a timely manner and at a
commercially reasonable cost, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our utilities expenses have increased significantly in recent years due to increase in power prices and further increases in power
expenses may impact our margins if we are not able to pass these price increases to our customers.
27. We do not own our Registered and Corporate Office and land on which some of our manufacturing facilities are located.
A failure to renew our existing lease arrangements at commercially favourable terms or at all may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Registered and Corporate office is located at 70, Okhla Industrial Estate, Phase III, New Delhi, 110020. Our registered and
corporate office are leased for 11 months commencing March 1, 2024. The table below sets forth the details of our lease
arrangements with respect to our properties under lease:
We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all. While we have
not failed to renew our lease arrangements for the material properties in the past three fiscal years, in the event that we are
unable to in the future, we may be required to vacate our current premises and make alternative arrangements for new offices
and manufacturing operations. We cannot assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. If
44
we are required to relocate our business operations or shut down our manufacturing facilities during this period, we may
suffer a disruption in our operations or have to pay increased charges, which could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Furthermore, the deeds for our existing and future leased properties
may not be adequately stamped or such stamp duty may not be accepted as evidence in a court of law and we may be required
to pay penalties for inadequate stamp duty.
28. Pricing pressure from our customers may adversely affect our gross margin, profitability and ability to increase our
prices, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We manufacture our products at our 10 manufacturing facilities and supply within India. Our customers, particularly OEMs,
generally pursue aggressive but systematic price reduction initiatives and objectives each year with their suppliers. We have in
the past experienced and may continue to experience pressure from our customers to reduce our prices, which may affect our
profit margins going forward.
In addition, as any price reduction is the result of negotiations and factors that may be beyond our control, we, like other
manufacturers, may be required to reduce operating costs and increase operating efficiencies to maintain profitability. As our
business is highly capital intensive, requiring us to maintain a large, fixed cost base, our profitability is dependent, in part, on
our ability to spread fixed costs over higher sales volume. However, we may not be able to spread such fixed costs effectively
as our customers generally negotiate for larger discounts in price as the volume of their orders increases. If we are unable to
offset customer price reductions in the future through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing
alternatives and other cost reduction initiatives, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially
adversely affected.
29. Our financial performance may be adversely affected if we are not successful in forecasting customer demands,
managing our inventory levels.
We need to maintain sufficient inventory levels to meet customer expectations at all times. Inaccurate forecasting of demand
or inefficiencies in managing inventory levels could lead to overproduction or stockpiling of obsolete components, which could
result in increased storage costs or write-offs, negatively impacting profitability. Likewise, failure to have adequate inventory
in stock to fulfil customer orders could result in inability to meet customer demand or loss of customers, leading to possible
loss of future revenue.
While our inventory of raw materials has increased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023
or Fiscal 2022, this increase is in line with the growth in sale of our products and our revenue from operations.
The table below sets forth our inventory, average inventory and inventory turnover ratio as at, or for the periods, indicated:
If we are unable to accurately predict sourcing levels or customer trends or if our expectations about customer demands and
needs are inaccurate, we may have to take unanticipated markdowns or impairment charges to dispose of the excess or obsolete
inventory, which can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may be
required to maintain high inventory levels if we anticipate increases in customer demand for our products, which in turn would
require a significant amount of working capital. Our inability to finance our working capital needs, or secure other financing
when needed, on acceptable commercial terms or at all, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
30. We have substantial capital expenditure and working capital requirements and may require additional financing to meet
those requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is capital intensive as we require adequate capital to operate and expand our manufacturing. Our historical capital
expenditure has been and is expected to be primarily used towards development, enhancement and expansion of production
capacities. Historically, we have funded our capital expenditure requirements through a combination of internal accruals and
external borrowings.
The table below sets forth our capital expenditure for the periods indicated:

Expenditure
As part of our strategy, we intend to expand our business in India. There can be no assurance that our expansion plans will be
implemented as planned or on schedule, or that we will achieve our increased planned output capacity or operational efficiency.
Although we have not experienced time or cost overruns in the past, if in the future we experience significant delays or mishaps
in the implementation of the expansion plans or if there are significant cost overruns, then the overall benefit of such plans to
our revenues and profitability may decline. To the extent that the planned expansion does not produce anticipated or desired
output, revenue or cost-reduction outcomes, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely
affected.
Furthermore, we require a significant amount of working capital to maintain optimum inventory levels of raw materials, work-
in-progress and finished goods as well as to offer credit to our customers and fulfil our payment obligations towards our
suppliers.
The table below sets forth our working capital as at the dates indicated.

Our working capital requirements may increase if payment terms in our agreements lead to reduced advance payments from
our customers or longer payment schedules, and we may need to raise additional capital from time to time to meet these
requirements. While we do not anticipate seeking additional working capital financing in the immediate future, an inability to
do so on terms acceptable to us could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our sources of additional financing, where required to meet our capital expenditure plans or working capital requirements, may
include the incurrence of debt or the issue of equity or debt securities or a combination of both. If we decide to raise additional
funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest and debt repayment obligations will increase, and could have a significant
effect on our profitability and cash flows and we may be subject to additional covenants, which could limit our ability to access
cash flows from operations. Any issuance of equity upon conversion of debt, on the other hand, would result in a dilution of
your shareholding. For details in relation to the terms of our existing financing arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” on
page 393.
31. Our inability to collect receivables in time or at all and default in payment from our customers could result in the
reduction of our profits and affect our cash flows.
We usually do not enter into long-term supply contracts with any of our customers and typically rely on periodic purchase
orders. Prices are negotiated with customers on a quarterly, 6 months or yearly basis. We sell our products domestically on a
cost, insurance and freight basis, on a consignee basis and on a door delivery or delivery duty paid basis and in case of export
either freight on board or cost, insurance and freight basis. There have been delays in payments by some of our customers in
the past. However, as the said receivables are expected to be realised in the normal course of business, these have not been
considered as impaired. All our sales are to customers on an open credit basis, with standard payment period of generally
between 30 to 90 days. While we generally monitor the ability of our customers to pay these open credit arrangements and limit
the credit, we extend to what we believe is reasonable based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and
payment history, we may still experience losses because of a customer’s inability to pay. As a result, we maintain what we
believe to be a reasonable allowance for doubtful receivables for potential credit losses based upon our historical trends and
other available information, there is a risk that our estimates may not be accurate, and we cannot assure you that we will not
experience such delays in payment or default by our customers in the future.
The table below sets forth our trade receivables and receivable turnover days in the periods indicated as well as bad debts
written off and disputed trade receivables – which have significant increase in credit risk:

Any increase in our receivable turnover days in the future will negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition. If we are unable to collect customer receivables or if the provisions for doubtful receivables are inadequate, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Macroeconomic conditions could
also result in financial difficulties, including insolvency or bankruptcy, for our major customers, and as a result could cause
customers to delay payments to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements, that could increase our receivables or
affect our working capital requirements, or default on their payment obligations to us. An increase in bad debts or in defaults
by our customers, may compel us to utilize greater amounts of our operating working capital and result in increased interest
costs, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.
32. We could incur losses under our purchase orders with our customers or be subjected to disputes or contractual penalties
as a result of delays in delivery or failures to meet contract specifications or delivery schedules which may have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We could incur losses under our purchase orders or be subjected to disputes or contractual penalties as a result of delays in
delivery or failures to meet specifications or delivery schedules. In the past three Fiscal, there have been no instances of time
overruns, due to which we have been required to re-negotiate some of the terms, such as date of delivery of our purchase orders
due to a delay in delivery (owing to a combination of internal as well as external factors beyond our control). There can be no
assurance that our customers in the future will not rescind their purchase orders with us if there is a delay in delivery beyond
the time stipulated in the purchase order. This may have an impact on our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, payment of damages and renegotiation of terms of
purchase orders could also have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition,
certain of our customer purchase orders, enable our customers to set off payments for goods delivered against previous
outstanding balances. Any such instances may also impact our cash flows and have an adverse impact on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
33. We have incurred indebtedness, and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our financing
agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
As at June 30, 2024, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings (including current maturities of long-term borrowings) of
₹1,291.26 million. The table below sets forth certain information on our total borrowings, debt to equity ratio, finance cost and
debt service coverage ratio as at the dates indicated:
As of June 30, 2024, we had total secured borrowings (current and non-current borrowings) of ₹ 1,291.26 million. These
47
borrowings are secured, inter alia, through a charge by way of hypothecation on our entire current assets, and, in case of our
term loans, on fixed assets that includes land and building on which our manufacturing facilities are located in favour of lenders.
For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 393, “Restated Financial Information – Note –19 Non-Current
Borrowings” and “Restated Financial Information – Note 23 – Current Borrowings”. As some of these secured assets pertain
to our manufacturing facilities, our rights in respect of transferring or disposing of these assets are restricted. In the event we
fail to service our debt obligations, the lenders have the right to enforce the security in respect of our secured borrowings and
dispose of our assets to recover the amounts due from us which in turn may compel us to shut down our manufacturing facilities
would adversely affect our business, results operations and financial condition.
Furthermore, our loan agreements with our lenders also contain certain negative covenants, including but not limited to,
effecting any change in ownership, control, constitution and operating structure, capital structure or shareholding pattern and/or
management of our Company, any amendment in the constitutional documents, and restrictions on fund raising. Any failure on
our part to comply with these terms in our financing agreements including the security agreements would generally result in
events of default under these financing agreements. In such a case, the lenders under each of these respective loan agreements
may, at their discretion, accelerate payment and declare the entire outstanding amounts under these loans due and payable, and
in certain instances, enforce their security which has been constituted.
34. Our contingent liabilities could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our Restated Financial Information disclosed the following contingent liabilities as per Ind AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets for the periods indicated.
(in ₹ millions)
Particulars As at June 30, 2024 (₹ in million)
Demands raised relating to Excise duty 30.15
Demands raised relating to GST 0.03
For further information, see “Restated Financial Information – Note 40.2 – Contingent Liabilities and Commitments”.
Most of the liabilities have been incurred in the normal course of business. If these contingent liabilities were to fully materialize
or materialize at a level higher than we expect, it may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
35. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover our economic losses as well as certain other risks, not covered
in our insurance policies, which could adversely affect business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations are subject to various risks inherent to the consumer appliance component industry and to the sale and
maintaining inventory of products, as well as other risks, such as theft, robbery or acts of terrorism and other force majeure
events. We maintain insurance coverage for anticipated risks which are standard for our type of business and operations.
The table below sets forth particulars of our insurance coverage as at the dates indicated.
Our insurance policies cover our manufacturing facilities and corporate office from losses in the case of natural calamities and
fire. There are many events that could significantly impact our operations, or expose us to third-party liabilities, for which we
may not be adequately insured. There can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be
honoured fully, in part, or on time. To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds
our insurance coverage, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. For further
details of insurance, see “Our Business” on page 205.
We have not taken insurance to protect against all risk and liabilities. For example, we do not take insurance for potential
product liability claims and we do not have key man insurance for our management team (although we do have key man
insurance for our Promoter).
Further, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal
course of our business. While none of our insurance policies are due for renewal as of the date of this DRHP, we cannot assure
you that such renewals in the future (on expiry) will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all.
48
36. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations as a portion of our expenditures are
denominated in foreign currencies.
Our Company’s financial statements are prepared in Indian Rupees. However, a portion of our raw materials expenditures
are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, we have currency exposures relating to buying
and selling in currencies other than in Indian Rupees, particularly the U.S. Dollar. In addition, some of our capital
expenditures, and particularly those for equipment imported from international suppliers are denominated in foreign
currencies, primarily U.S dollars. We expect our future capital expenditures in connection with our proposed expansion
plans may include expenditures in foreign currencies for imported equipment and machinery. Further, we aim to develop an
export business for our products, which may increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation as our
revenues in foreign currencies increase.
A significant fluctuation in the Indian rupee to U.S. dollar or other foreign currency exchange rates could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The exchange rate between the Indian
rupee and these currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar, has fluctuated in the past and any appreciation or depreciation of the
Indian rupee against these currencies can impact our profitability and results of operations. Our results of operations have
been impacted by such fluctuations in the past and may be impacted by such fluctuations in the future. For example, the
Indian rupee had depreciated against the U.S. dollar in four of the last five years, which may impact our foreign currency
expenditures. We have had gains and losses due to these fluctuations in foreign currency.
We do not hedge against exchange rate movements; therefore, changes in the relevant exchange rates could also affect
operating results reported in Indian Rupees as part of our financial statements. We are affected primarily by fluctuations in
exchange rates among the U.S. dollar and the Indian Rupee, and our results of operations may be adversely affected by
fluctuations in the value of the Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar or other foreign currencies. Additionally, we have
earned gains due to these fluctuations in foreign currency.
The table set forth below provides our foreign currency gains for the periods indicated:

gains
These foreign currency gains were related to instances where the market exchange rate at the time of transaction was in our
favour. We, however, run the risk from time to time that the market exchange rate may be less favourable to us which may
result in foreign currency losses. For further information on our exchange rate risk management, see “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations – Principal Factors Affecting our Results of
Operations – Foreign Exchange Rate Risk” on page 386.
37. We have experienced negative cash flows in the last three fiscal years.
We have experienced negative cash flows in the recent past. Our cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024, Fiscal
2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 are set forth in the table below. The following table sets forth our cash flows for the
periods indicated:

Any negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For further
details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows”
on page 383.
38. Our operations are sensitive to seasonal changes and our quarterly results of operations may not be comparable quarter
to quarter.
49
Our operations are seasonal as the demand for end-user demand for refrigerators increase in summer months and end-use
demand for refrigerators, washing machines and microwaves increase during the Diwali holiday season. Accordingly, we
receive an increase in orders from our OEM customers to respond to this seasonal demand and our quarterly results of
operations may not be comparable quarter to quarter. We expect to continue to experience seasonal trends in our business,
making results of operations variable from quarter to quarter. This variability can make it difficult to predict sales and can
result in fluctuations in our revenue or profitability between periods. Any slowdown in demand for our products during peak
seasons or failure by us, to r to develop sufficient fulfilment and delivery capacity to meet customer demand during periods
of seasonal or peak demand, could adversely affect customer experience and our results of operations. Further, lower than
expected sales during certain periods or more pronounced seasonal variations in sales in the future could have a
disproportionate impact on our operating results for any Fiscal or could strain our resources and impair our cash flows.
During period of high order volume, we may also experience an increase in our fulfilment and logistics costs due to split-
shipments, air-shipments, changes to our fulfilment and logistics network, and other arrangements necessary to ensure timely
delivery. In addition, during times of increased seasonal or peak demand, it is possible that too many customers may attempt
to access our mobile applications or websites within a short period of time, which may cause us to experience system
interruptions that result in our mobile applications or websites temporarily being unavailable or prevent us from efficiently
fulfilling orders. In addition, we may be unable to adequately staff our fulfilment and delivery network, or may be unable to
avail of adequate third party delivery service providers during these peak periods, which may impact our ability to satisfy
seasonal or peak demand.
39. There are outstanding legal proceedings against our Company, our Promoters, and some of our Directors. Any adverse
decision in such proceedings may render us/them liable to liabilities/penalties and may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
Certain legal proceedings involving our Company, Promoters, and some of our Directors are pending at different levels of
adjudication before various courts, tribunals and authorities. In the event of adverse rulings in these proceedings or
consequent levy of penalties, we may need to make payments or make provisions for future payments, and which may
increase expenses and current or contingent liabilities.
A summary of outstanding litigation proceedings involving our Company, Promoters, and Directors, as disclosed in
“Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 395 in terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations as at the date of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is provided below.
For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 395.
We cannot assure you that any of the outstanding litigation matters will be settled in our favour, or that no (additional)
liability will arise out of these proceedings. We are in the process of litigating these matters. Further, such proceedings could
divert management time and attention and consume financial resources in their defence. In addition to the foregoing, we
could also be adversely affected by complaints, claims or legal actions brought by persons, before various forums such as
courts, tribunals, consumer forums or sector-specific or other regulatory authorities in the ordinary course or otherwise, in
relation to our products, our technology, our branding or our policies or any other acts/omissions. Further, we may be subject
to legal action by our employees and/or ex-employees in relation to alleged grievances such as termination of their
employment with us. There can be no assurance that such complaints or claims will not result in investigations, enquiries or
legal actions by any courts, tribunals or regulatory authorities against us.
50
40. We are required to make payments of statutory dues, and any future failure or delay in making these payments may
attract penalties and in turn have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are required to make certain payments to various statutory authorities from time to time, including but not limited to
payments pertaining to employee provident fund, employee state insurance, income tax and excise duty. The table below
sets forth the details of the statutory dues paid by our Company in relation to our employees for the periods indicated below:
While there have been no instances of failure to pay or delays in paying statutory dues in the three months ended June 30,
2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we cannot assure you to that we will be able to pay our statutory dues
timely, or at all, in the future. Any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and
regulatory action, as well as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
41. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds towards repayment and/ or prepayment of all
or certain portion of outstanding borrowing are based on management estimates and have not been independently
appraised by any bank or financial institution. Variations in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain
compliance requirements, and our inability to comply with such requirements may cause an adverse impact on our
business and operations.
We propose to utilise ₹ 1,190.00 million of our Net Proceeds for the repayment and/ or prepayment of all or certain portion
of outstanding borrowing (including accrued interest) availed by our Company and for the general corporate purposes. For
further details, see “Objects of the Offer – Details of the Objects of the Net Proceeds -Repayment/ prepayment, in full or in
part of certain outstanding borrowings availed by our Company” on page 104. The funding requirements and deployment
of the Net Proceeds mentioned as a part of the objects of the Offer towards repayment and/ or prepayment of all or certain
portion of outstanding borrowing are based on internal management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution or other independent agency. Furthermore, the deployment of the Net Proceeds is at the discretion of
our management, in accordance with applicable laws.
In accordance with Section 13(8) and Section 27 of the Companies Act, we cannot change the utilization of the Net Proceeds,
or the terms of any contract as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus without obtaining the Shareholders’ approval
through a special resolution. We may not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all, in the
event we need to make such changes. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of object of the
Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any contract referred to in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, even if such variation is in our interest. This may restrict our ability to respond to any change in our
business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of
any contract, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, we propose to repay certain loans obtained from State Bank of India from the Net Proceeds as disclosed in “Objects
of the Offer” on page 102. State Bank of India, which is an affiliate of one of the Book Running Lead Managers to the Offer,
SBI Capital Markets Limited, is not an associate of the Company in terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Merchant Bankers) Regulations, 1992. Loans and facilities sanctioned to our Company by State Bank of India are part of
their normal commercial lending activity and we do not believe that there is any conflict of interest under the SEBI (Merchant
Bankers) Regulations, 1992, as amended, or any other applicable SEBI rules or regulations. For details, see “Objects of the
Offer” on page 102.
42. Our Promoter Selling Shareholders have provided personal guarantees for certain loan facilities obtained by our
Company. Any failure or default by our Company to repay such facilities in accordance with their terms could trigger
repayment obligations which may adversely affect our Promoters and our business and operations.
Our Promoter Selling Shareholders have provided personal guarantee towards loan facilities taken by our Company. For
further information, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details of guarantees given to third parties by the
Promoter Selling Shareholders” on page 242. Any default or failure by our Company to repay these loans in a timely manner,
or at all, could trigger repayment obligations of our individual Promoters. Such repayment obligations could impact our
51
Promoters ability to effectively service their obligations, thereby affecting our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
43. Non-compliance with and changes in, safety, health, environmental laws and other applicable regulations in India, may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to laws and government regulations in India, including in relation to safety, health and environmental
protection. For details, see section titled “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 235. These laws and regulations
impose controls on air and water discharge, noise levels, storage handling, processing, transport or disposal of hazardous
substances including employee exposure to hazardous substances and other aspects of our manufacturing operations. In
addition, our products, including the process of manufacture, storage and distribution of such products, are subject to
numerous laws and regulations in relation to quality, safety and health. Further, laws and regulations may limit the amount
of hazardous and pollutant discharge that our manufacturing may release into the air and water.
Our operations, particularly at our manufacturing facilities, are subject to stringent scrutiny, inspection and audit from third
party environmental agencies, including governmental authorities to ensure our compliance with applicable laws and
regulations or the relevant regulatory bodies may require us to shut down our manufacturing plants for purported violations
of safety, health, environmental laws, which in turn could lead to product shortages that delay or prevent us from fulfilling
our obligations to customers.
The discharge of materials that are chemical in nature or of other hazardous substances into the air, soil or water beyond the
limits required by applicable law or regulation may cause us to be liable to regulatory bodies or third parties. Any such legal
proceedings in the future could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Furthermore, if the authorities deem that our responses do not sufficiently address the concerns raised in these notices, there
is also a possibility that the environmental authorities may cancel, suspend or withdraw the approvals, permits or consents
granted to us or may order the closure of the manufacturing unit until the concerns are sufficiently addressed or remedied.
If such environmental notices result in litigation, fines or the cancellation of our licenses, it could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are required to obtain permits from governmental authorities for certain aspects of our operations. These laws,
regulations and permits often require us to purchase and install pollution control equipment or to make operational changes
to limit impacts or potential impacts on the environment and/or health of our employees.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we have not delayed in
making any regulatory filings under applicable law beyond prescribed timelines that resulted in a non-compliance.
44. Lapses in maintaining high health and safety standards in our operations could lead to accidents, regulatory actions,
reputational harm, and financial losses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our manufacturing processes involve handling hazardous materials such as PVC resin, barium, and strontium carbonate,
which are essential to our production but pose significant health and safety risks. For instance, PVC resin can emit harmful
fumes when heated, while improper handling or exposure to chemicals like barium and strontium carbonate can lead to
serious health hazards for employees, including chemical burns, respiratory issues, or other occupational illnesses.
Failure to strictly follow safety protocols for handling, storing, and disposing of these materials can result in incidents such
as chemical spills, fires, or accidents. These events not only endanger employee safety but could also lead to operational
shutdowns, as authorities may halt production until safety issues are fully addressed. This can cause significant delays,
disrupting supply chains and affecting our ability to meet client demands.
Additionally, we are subject to stringent domestic safety regulations. Non-compliance with these standards could expose
the company to penalties such as fines, forced closures, and legal liabilities, which could have a material adverse impact on
our financial performance.
Beyond the immediate health risks, repeated safety incidents could harm the company’s reputation. Customers may lose
confidence in our ability to deliver safe, reliable products, leading to the potential loss of key clients. Furthermore, the
company’s ability to attract and retain skilled employees may be compromised, as a poor safety record may deter talent from
joining or staying with the organization.
Although we have not had any serious accidents or incidents of non-compliance with safety regulations in the three months
period ended June 30, 2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, we make continuous investments to mitigate
safety risks including investments in ventilation systems to handle fumes and dust, safety training, protective equipment,
and regular safety audits.

45. We have three registered trademarks and have filed a trademark application for our corporate logo. We also rely on a
combination of trade secret and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property. If we are unable to protect
our intellectual property rights, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have three registered trademarks in India, which are valid up to
April 10, 2035 and renewal for a further 10 years is in process. We do not own any patents. We may not be able to protect
our intellectual property rights, including our trademark after receipt of approval from the Trademark Registry, against third-
party infringement and unauthorised use of our intellectual property, including by our competitors. Any failure to protect
our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, a
failure to obtain or maintain these registrations may adversely affect our competitive business position. This may in turn
affect our brand value, and consequently, our business.
Although no such proceedings have been initiated during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024,
Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we may need to litigate to protect our intellectual property or to defend against third party
infringement. Any such litigation could be time consuming and costly and the outcome cannot be guaranteed. We may not
be able to detect any unauthorised use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect our intellectual property.
Any inability to use or protect our intellectual property could affect our relationships with our customers, which could
materially and adversely affect our brand, business, results of operations and financial condition.
46. Failure to protect trade secrets, processes and technologies, could lead to loss of market share, legal challenges, and
long-term erosion of the company’s competitive position and profitability.
Our future success is heavily reliant on our ability to protect our intellectual property (IP), which includes proprietary
manufacturing processes, technologies, product designs, and innovations. These elements are critical to maintaining a
competitive edge in the market. While our agreements with our employees and consultants who develop our intellectual
property including our proprietary products, technology, systems and processes on our behalf include confidentiality
provisions and provisions on ownership of intellectual property developed during employment or specific assignments, as
applicable, these agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, our
intellectual property including our proprietary products, technology, systems and processes and may not provide an adequate
remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information or infringement of our intellectual
property. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our proprietary
products, technology, systems and processes and use information that we consider proprietary. In addition, unauthorized
parties may also attempt, or successfully endeavour, to obtain our intellectual property, confidential information, and trade
secrets through various methods, including through cybersecurity attacks, and legal or other methods of protecting this data
may be inadequate. In addition, our trade secrets may become known or independently developed by our competitors, and
in such cases, we may no longer enjoy the exclusive use of some of our formulations or maintain the confidentiality of
information relating to our products.
47. We require various licenses and approvals for undertaking our businesses and the failure to obtain or retain such licenses
or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business operations are subject to various laws, the compliance of which is supervised by multiple regulatory authorities
and government bodies in India. In order to conduct our business, we are required to obtain multiple licenses, approvals,
permits and consents. For further information, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 399. Additionally, our
government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, some of which are onerous including making an
application for amending the existing approval. If we are unable to comply with any or all of their applicable terms and
conditions or seek waivers or extensions of time for complying with such terms and conditions, our operations may be
interrupted and penalties may be imposed on us by the relevant authorities. Further, a majority of these approvals and
licenses are subject to ongoing inspection and compliance requirements and are valid only for a fixed period of time subject
to renewals. Although no proceedings have been initiated against us where a license or approval was not renewed during
the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we may need to apply for more
approvals in the future including renewal of approvals that may expire from time to time. If we fail to renew, obtain or retain
any of such approvals, in a timely manner, or at all, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected.

(a)Transactions during the periods/ years have been disclosed excluding GST, where applicable.
b) All related party transactions entered during the periods/ years were in ordinary course of the business. During the periods/
years, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties.
c) Outstanding balances at the period end/year-end are unsecured and interest free except loans given and taken.
d) The above information has been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information available
with the Company and relied upon by the auditors.
For information on all our related party transactions, see “Restated Financial Information – Note 40.8 – Related Party
Disclosures – Details of transactions with related parties (in accordance with Ind AS 24 - Related Party Disclosures)”.
Although all the related party transactions in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and
Fiscal 2022 have been carried out on arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that each of the related party transactions will
be carried out on an arm’s length basis in the future and on more favourable terms as compared to unrelated parties. It is
likely that we will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. Some of these transactions may require
significant capital outlay and there can be no assurance that we will be able to make a return on these investments. Although
all related-party transactions that we may enter into will be subject to Audit Committee, Board or shareholder approval, as
may be required under the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations, we cannot assure you that such
transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will perform as expected/ result in the benefit envisaged therein.

49. After the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to collectively hold substantial shareholding in our
Company.
Currently, our Promoters own an aggregate of 98.03% of our issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital. Following
the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to hold approximately [●] of our post-Offer Equity Share capital.
For details of their shareholding pre and post-Offer, see “Capital Structure” on page 85. By virtue of their shareholding, our
Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant control over the outcome of the matters submitted to our shareholders
for approval, including the appointment of Directors, the timing and payment of dividends, the adoption of and amendments
to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the approval of a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets and the
approval of most other actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The interests of our Promoters in their capacity
as our Shareholders could be different from the interests of our other shareholders. Any such conflict may adversely affect
our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.
50. Certain unsecured loans have been availed by us which may be recalled by lender.
As of November 30, 2024, we had availed unsecured loans aggregating to ₹15.40 million, from Bina Jain, one of our
Promoter and Executive Director. Any failure to service such indebtedness, or otherwise perform any obligations under such
financing agreements may lead to acceleration of payments under such credit facilities, which may adversely affect our
Company. For further information, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 393 and “Restated Financial Information – Note
23”.
51. Any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior
shareholders’ approval.
Our proposed objects of the Offer are set forth under “Objects of the Offer” on page 102. At this stage, we cannot determine
with any certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of
competitive environment, business conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. In accordance with
Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds
without obtaining the shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances that require
us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the shareholders’
approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such shareholders’ approval may adversely affect
our business or operations.
Further, our Promoters would be required to provide an exit opportunity to Shareholders who do not agree with our proposal
to change the objects of the Offer or vary the terms of such contracts, at a price and manner as prescribed by SEBI.
Additionally, the requirement on Promoters to provide an exit opportunity to such dissenting shareholders may deter our
Promoters from agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in the
interest of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that the Promoters or the controlling shareholders of our Company
will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit opportunity at the price prescribed
by SEBI. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of objects of the Offer to use any unutilized
proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any contract referred to in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, even if such
variation is in the interest of our Company. This may restrict our Company’s ability to respond to any change in our business
or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilised portion of Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of contract, which
may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Further, we will appoint a monitoring agency for monitoring the utilisation of proceeds of the Offer in accordance with
Regulation 41 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the monitoring agency will submit its report to us on a quarterly basis in
accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
52. Our funding requirements and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution or any other independent agency and our management will have broad discretion over the use of the
Net Proceeds.
We intend to utilize the Net Proceeds of the Offer as set forth in “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 102. The funding
requirements mentioned as a part of the objects of the Offer are based on internal management estimates, and have not been
appraised by any bank or financial institution. This is based on current conditions and is subject to change in light of changes
in external circumstances, costs, business initiatives, other financial conditions or business strategies. Various risks and
uncertainties, including those set forth in this section, may limit or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve
profitable growth in our business.
Accordingly, use of the Net Proceeds for other purposes identified by our management may not result in actual growth of
our business, increased profitability or an increase in the value of our business and your investment.
53. Our inability to successfully implement some or all our business strategies in a timely manner or at all could have an
56
adverse effect on our business.
As part of our strategy aimed towards business growth and improvement of market position, we intend to implement several
business strategies, which include:
Expand our capacities in toughened glass, magnetic strips and rigid profile extrusion (for which the net proceeds
of the Offer will be used to purchase plant and equipment);
Expand our customer base, increase wallet share from existing customers;
Increase our presence in export markets and strengthen relationships with existing customers having overseas
operations; and
Continued focus on cost optimization and improving operational efficiency.
Our strategies may not succeed due to various factors, including our inability to reduce our debt and our operating costs, our
failure to develop new products with sufficient growth potential as per the changing market preferences and trends, our
failure to execute agreements with our customers, our failure to effectively market our products or foresee challenges with
respect to our business initiatives, our failure to sufficiently upgrade our infrastructure, machines, automation, equipment
and technology as required to cater to the requirement of changing demand and market preferences, our failure to maintain
highest quality in our operations or to ensure scaling of our operations to correspond with our strategy and customer demand,
changes in GoI policy or regulation, our inability to respond to regular competition, and other operational and management
difficulties. For further details of our strategies, see “Our Business – Our Strategies” on page 213.
54. If we do not continue to invest in new technologies and equipment, our existing machines and equipment may become
obsolete, leading to inefficiencies and increased production costs relative to our competitors, which may have an adverse
impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In the rapidly evolving manufacturing sector, especially with increasing automation, digitization, and the adoption of
Industry 4.0 technologies, failure to invest in or upgrade to newer and more efficient manufacturing processes could reduce
our ability to remain competitive in an industry where technological advancements play a critical role in maintaining
operational efficiency.
A failure to keep pace with new developments, such as automation, digitization, or the adoption of energy-efficient
processes, could significantly increase our production costs and negatively affect our business, results of operations, and
financial condition.
Looking ahead, we believe that our profitability and competitiveness will largely depend on our ability to maintain low
operational costs, while processing and supplying sufficient quantities of products that meet our customers' quality standards.
As global trends shift towards greater automation, data-driven manufacturing, and sustainability, it is vital that we are able
to quickly adapt to these evolving standards and integrate modern technologies into our production processes. Failure to do
so may result in longer production times, higher scrap rates, and inefficiencies, ultimately leading to higher costs and lower
margins.
Moreover, the ability to adopt and leverage advanced technologies, such as smart manufacturing systems, Artificial
Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML), will be essential in ensuring product innovation, consistent quality, and
enhanced productivity. If we are unable to respond or adapt to these trends in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost, we
may not be able to compete effectively, leading to a potential loss of customers, market share, and profitability. This could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
55. Any downgrade of our credit ratings could adversely affect our business.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have received the following credit ratings on our debt and credit
facilities.
₹
Instrument or Rating Type Date Ratings
crores
Long Term Bank 113.00 October 4, CARE BBB+; Stable (Triple B Plus; Outlook Stable)
Facilities 2024
Long Term Rating 153.82 August 1, CRISIL BBB/Positive (Outlook revised from “Stable”,
2024 Rating Affirmed)
These ratings assess our overall financial capacity to pay our obligations and are reflective of our ability to meet financial
commitments as they become due. Further, there can be no assurance that these ratings will not be revised or changed by
the above rating agencies due to various factors. Although we have not experienced a rating downgrade in the past, any
downgrade in our credit ratings in the future may increase interest rates for refinancing our outstanding debt, which would
increase our financing costs, and adversely affect our future issuances of debt and our ability to raise new capital on a
competitive basis.
57
56. We might infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others and any misappropriation of our intellectual property
could harm our competitive position.
Although we have faced no instances of intellectual property claims during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during
Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022 and while we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights
of others, we cannot determine with certainty as to whether we are infringing on any existing third-party intellectual property
rights, which may require us to alter our technologies, obtain licenses or cease some of our operations. We may also be
susceptible to claims from third parties asserting infringement and other related claims. If such claims are raised, those
claims could: (a) adversely affect our relationships with current or future customers: (b) result in costly litigation; (c) cause
supplier delays or stoppages; (d) divert management's attention and resources; (e) subject us to significant liabilities; (f)
require us to enter into potentially expensive royalty or licensing agreements and (g) require us to cease certain activities.
While during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022 we have not been
involved in litigation or incurred litigation expenses in connection with our intellectual property rights in the case of an
infringement claim made by a third party, we may be required to defend such claims at our own cost and liability and may
need to indemnify and hold harmless our customers. Furthermore, necessary licenses may not be available to us on
satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, we may decide to settle a claim or action against us, which settlement could be costly.
We may also be liable for any past infringement that we are not aware of. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
57. Our failure to manage growth effectively may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
In the past three fiscal years, our revenue from operations have grown at a CAGR of 60.38% from ₹1,416.77 million in
Fiscal 2022 to ₹3,644.15 million in Fiscal 2024. The table set forth below provides our revenue from operations and profit
after tax for the periods indicated.

Profit after tax for the Year / Period 33.91 128.33 224.12 76.31 122.89 157.08%
Our ability to sustain growth depends primarily upon our ability to manage key issues such as our ability to sustain existing
relationships with our major customers, ability to compete effectively, ability to continue to scale up our operations and
adhere to high quality and execution standards, our ability to expand our presence in and outside India, and our ability to
select and retain skilled personnel, including certified scientists, technicians and engineers. Sustained growth also puts
pressure on our ability to effectively manage and control historical and emerging risks. Our inability to effectively manage
any of these issues may adversely affect our business growth and, as a result, adversely impact our business, results of
operations and financial condition
58. Failure or disruption of our IT systems may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) and/or enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) solutions to
cover key areas of our operations and accounting. In addition, IT is important to our manufacturing processes and
automation. Our IT solutions are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, which could
result from (among other causes) cyber-attacks on or failures of such infrastructure or compromises to its physical security,
as well as from damaging weather or other acts of nature. A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of one or
more of our IT systems, ERP systems, or manufacturing IT systems, could adversely affect our ability to keep our operations
running efficiently and affect product availability, particularly in the country, region or functional area in which the
malfunction occurs, and a wider or sustained disruption to our business could also occur. In addition, it is possible that a
malfunction of our data system security measures could enable unauthorized persons to access sensitive business data,
including information relating to our intellectual property or business strategy or those of our customers. While we have not
faced significant disruptions in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, any
such malfunction or disruptions in future could cause economic losses for which we could be held liable or cause damage
to our reputation. Any of these developments, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Although we have had no incidents during the three months ended June 30,
2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, the unavailability of, or failure to retain, well trained employees
capable of constantly servicing our IT, and/or ERP systems may lead to inefficiency or disruption of our operations and
thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.
59. We may undertake strategic acquisitions or investments, which may prove to be difficult to integrate and manage or may
58
not be successful.
As part of our business strategy, we may consider making strategic acquisitions of other component manufacturing
companies whose resources, capabilities and strategies are complementary to and are likely to increase our product portfolio
and expand our distribution network. We may also enter into strategic alliances or joint ventures to explore such
opportunities or make significant investments in entities that we do not control to capitalize on such business opportunities,
and there can be no assurance that such strategic alliances, joint ventures or investments will be successful. It is also possible
that we may not identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates, or that if we do identify suitable candidates, we may
not complete those transactions on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. The inability to identify suitable acquisition
targets or investments or the inability to complete such transactions may adversely affect our competitiveness or our growth
prospects. Further, if we acquire another company we could face difficulty in integrating the acquired operations. In addition,
the key personnel of the acquired company may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing
business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to achieve the strategic purpose of such acquisition or operational integration or our targeted return on investment.
60. Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory
standards and requirements.
We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include inventory loss
and intentional failures to comply with any regulations applicable to us, to provide accurate information to regulatory
authorities, to comply with manufacturing standards we have established, or to report financial information or data accurately
or disclose unauthorized activities to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and deter such misconduct,
and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged
risk. Although we have had no material incidents of employee misconduct during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and
during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, if our employees engage in any such future misconduct, we could face
criminal penalties, fines, revocation of regulatory approvals and harm to our reputation, any of which could form a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
61. Failure to maintain confidential information of our customers could adversely affect our results of operations or damage
our reputation.
We enter into confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure agreements with our customers and other third parties. Our
agreements with our customers also contain confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses. As per these agreements, we are
required to keep confidential, the know-how and technical specifications, if any, provided to us by these customers. In the
event of any breach or alleged breach of our confidentiality agreements with our customers, these customers may terminate
their engagements with us or initiate litigation for breach of contract. Moreover, most of these contracts do not contain
provisions limiting our liability with respect to breaches of our obligation to keep the information we receive from them
confidential. As a result, if our customers’ confidential information is misappropriated by us or our employees, our customers
may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us, in addition, to seeking termination of the
contract. Although we have had no incidents during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal
2023 or Fiscal 2022, assertions in the future of misappropriation of confidential information or the intellectual property of
our customers against us, if successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Even if such assertions against us are unsuccessful, they may cause us to incur reputational harm and
substantial cost.
62. If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective internal controls and compliance system, our business and
reputation could be adversely affected.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size and complexity
of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an
ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically
test and update our internal processes and systems and there have been no past material instances of failure to maintain
effective internal controls and compliance system. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential
inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal
checks and balances in all circumstances.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal
controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve
and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human
diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error.
Further, our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations. These laws generally prohibit us and our
employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or
other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We participate in collaborations and
relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under these laws or other local anti-
59
corruption laws. While our code of conduct requires our employees and intermediaries to comply with all applicable laws,
and we continue to enhance our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption
laws and regulations, these measures may not prevent the breach of such anti-corruption laws, as there are risks of such
breaches in emerging markets, such as India. If we are not in compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws, we may be
subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses, which
could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Likewise, any investigation of
any potential violations of anti-corruption laws by the relevant authorities could also have an adverse impact on our business
and reputation.
63. Information relating to the installed manufacturing capacity, actual production and capacity utilisation of our
manufacturing facilities in India included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and
estimates and future production and capacity may vary.
Information relating to the historical installed capacity, actual production and estimated capacity utilization of our
manufacturing facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is based on various assumptions and estimates of our
management and independent chartered engineers, including assumptions relating to standard capacity calculation practice
of consumer component industries, period during which the manufacturing facility operates in a year, expected operations,
availability of raw materials, downtime resulting from scheduled maintenance activities, unscheduled breakdowns, as well
as expected operational efficiencies. For detailed information on our capacity and capacity utilization, see “Our Business-
Manufacturing - Capacity, Production and Capacity Utilization” on page 226. Actual production volumes and capacity
utilization rates may differ significantly from the estimated production capacities and historical capacity utilization of our
manufacturing facilities. Investors should therefore not place undue reliance on our historical installed capacity information
for our existing manufacturing facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
64. We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain Non-GAAP Measures that may vary from any standard
methodology that is applicable across the consumer appliance component industry and may not be comparable with
financial information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.
Certain Non-GAAP Measures relating to our operations have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For further
details on the key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, see
“Certain Conventions, Use of Financial Information and Market Data and Currency of Presentation—Non-GAAP financial
measures”, on page 14. We compute and disclose such Non-GAAP Measures as we consider such information to be useful
measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of Indian consumer appliance component companies, many of
which provide such Non-GAAP Measures and other industry related statistical and operational information. Such
supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool, and investors are
cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our audited and
Restated Financial Information as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. These Non-GAAP Measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to
our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable
across the industry and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by generally accepted accounting
principles, and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and industry related statistical information of similar
nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other consumer appliance component companies.
External Risks
65. A slowdown in economic growth in India could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our performance and the growth of our business are dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy. Any slowdown
or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy or future volatility in global commodity prices could adversely affect our
business. Additionally, an increase in trade deficit, or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves could negatively affect
liquidity, which could adversely affect the Indian economy and our business. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic caused
an economic downturn in India and globally. Any downturn in the macroeconomic environment in India could also adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
India’s economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates or inflation, adverse weather conditions
affecting agriculture, commodity and energy prices as well as various other factors. A slowdown in the Indian economy
could adversely affect the policy of the GoI towards the consumer appliance component industry, which may in turn
adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to implement our business strategy.
66. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services at a proportional rate thereby
reducing our margins.
60
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced
high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our
business, including increased costs of transportation, wages, raw materials and other expenses relevant to our business. High
fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs. Any increase in
inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to our customers, whether
entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to
reduce our costs or entirely offset any increases in costs with increases in prices for our products. In such case, our business,
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the Government has previously initiated
economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can
be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.
67. Our business is affected by global economic conditions, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
The Indian economy and its securities markets are influenced by global economic developments and volatility in securities
markets in other countries. Investors’ reactions to developments in one country may have adverse effects on the market price
of securities of companies located in other countries, including India. Negative economic developments, such as rising fiscal
or trade deficits, or a default on national debt, in other emerging market countries may also affect investor confidence and
cause increased volatility in Indian securities markets and indirectly affect the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide
financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates
and interest rates in India and could then adversely affect our business, financial performance and the price of our Equity
Shares.
China is one of India’s major trading partners and there are rising concerns of a strained relationship with India, which could
have an adverse impact on the trade relations between the two countries.
Developments in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, between Israel and Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran and
between Houthi rebels and certain western countries, have resulted in and may continue to result in a period of sustained
instability across global financial markets, induce volatility in commodity prices, adversely impact availability of natural
gas, increase in supply chain, logistics times and costs, increase borrowing costs, cause outflow of capital from emerging
markets and may lead to overall slowdown in economic activity in India.
If we are unable to successfully anticipate and respond to changing economic and market conditions, our business, results
of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
68. Changing regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The GoI or State
governments in India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general,
which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the GoI,
State governments and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law,
regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of
administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability
of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. We may incur increased costs and other
burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other
resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
69. Natural calamities, climate change and health epidemics and pandemics in India could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of
violence could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
India has experienced natural calamities, such as earthquakes and floods in recent years. Natural calamities could have an
adverse impact on the Indian economy which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, and they may also damage or
destroy our manufacturing facilities, warehouses or other assets. Further, such events also may lead to the disruption of, or
damage, to manufacturing equipment and machines, logistics operations, information systems, electrical systems and
telecommunication services for sustained periods. Natural calamities also may make it difficult or impossible for employees
to reach our business locations. Damage or destruction that interrupts our operations or assets could adversely affect our
reputation, our relationships with our customers, our senior management team’s ability to administer and supervise our
business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged assets. equipment or
machines. Though some of the losses are covered under appropriate insurance, the above factors may still adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
61
India has from time-to-time experienced instances of social, religious and civil unrest and hostilities between neighbouring
countries. Military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting
communications and making travel and logistics more difficult. Such political tensions also could create a greater perception
that investments in Indian companies involve higher degrees of risk. Events of this nature in the future, as well as social and
civil unrest within other countries in Asia and Europe, could influence the Indian economy and could have a material adverse
effect on the market for securities of Indian companies.
70. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact on our
business, results of operations and cash flows.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India. Any
adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such
funding is available. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur, for example, upon a change of government tax or
fiscal policy, which is outside our control. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable
terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.
71. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure, to the extent insufficient, could adversely impact our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is less developed than that of many developed nations. Any congestion or disruption with its
road and rail networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public facility could disrupt our normal business
activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of
goods and supplies including our component products, and add costs to doing business in India. These problems could
interrupt our business operations, which could have adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
72. Significant differences exist between Ind-AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may
be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus.
Our Restated Financial Information has been compiled from our audited financial statements prepared and presented in
accordance with Ind-AS, and restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Ind-AS differs from accounting
principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Significant
differences exist between Ind-AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and
presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, the degree to which the
financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is dependent on
the prospective investor’s familiarity with Ind-AS and the Companies Act. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Ind-
AS on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. In addition,
some of our competitors may not present their financial statements in accordance with Ind AS and their financial statements
may not be directly comparable to ours, and therefore reliance should accordingly be limited.
73. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the Competition Act may
in turn adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable adverse
effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal
arrangement, understanding, or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC, is considered void and may
result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly
involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development,
investment, or the provision of services, or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner,
including by way of allocation of geographical area or number of customers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly
results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also
prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise.
On April 11, 2023, the Competition (Amendment) Bill 2023 received the assent of the President of India to become the
Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”), amending the Competition Act and giving the
CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers. It has been enacted to
increase the ease of doing business in India and enhance transparency. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies
the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by
the CCI and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive agreements
and abuse of dominant position.
The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an AAEC in India.
62
Consequently, all agreements entered by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has
extraterritorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct, or combination occurring outside India if such
agreement, conduct, or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act
on the agreements entered by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. We may be affected, directly or indirectly,
by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by
the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or
substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
74. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.
Our Company is a company incorporated under the laws of India. Our Board of Directors comprises members all of whom
are Indian citizens. All of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management are residents of India and majority of the
assets of our Company and such persons are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors outside India
to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in
courts outside India.
India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with only a limited number
of jurisdictions, which includes, among others, the United Kingdom, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. In
order to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions, which do not have reciprocal recognition with India, cannot be
executed in India. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating
territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would
not be enforceable in India. Even if an investor obtained a judgment in such a jurisdiction against us or our officers or
directors, it may be required to institute a new proceeding in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court. However, the
party in whose favour such final judgment is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final
judgment that has been obtained in a non-reciprocating territory within three years of obtaining such final judgment in the
same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. If, and to the extent that, an Indian court were of the
opinion that fairness and good faith so required, it would, under current practice, give binding effect to the final judgment
that had been rendered in the non-reciprocating territory, unless such a judgment contravenes principles of public policy in
India. It is unlikely that an Indian court would award damages on the same basis or to the same extent as was awarded in a
final judgment rendered by a court in another jurisdiction if the Indian court believed that the amount of damages awarded
was excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is
required to obtain prior approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of such a judgment.
75. The Offer Price, market capitalization to revenue from operations multiple and price to earnings ratio based on the Offer
Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
Set forth below are details regarding our revenue from operations and restated profit / (loss) after tax for the periods indicated.

Our market capitalization to revenue from operations (Fiscal 2024) multiple is [●] times and our price to earnings ratio
(based on Fiscal 2024 restated profit / (loss) after tax for the year) is [●] at the upper end of the Price Band and [●] at the
lower end of the Price Band. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment
of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through a book-building process, and certain quantitative and qualitative
factors as set out in “Basis for Offer Price” on page 123, and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of
the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter. Investors are advised to make an informed decision while investing
in our Company taking into consideration the price per share that will be published in price advertisement, the revenue
generated per share in the past and the market capitalization of our company vis-à-vis the revenue generated per share.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock
Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for the
Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
63
Accordingly, any valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company would not be based on a
benchmark with our industry peers. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band would be determined,
shall be disclosed in the advertisement that would be issued for publication of the Price Band.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors,
variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India,
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, our competitors launching significant
new projects, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us,
volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators,
variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory
factors.
76. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer.
The Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs through the Book
Building Process. This price will be based on numerous factors, as described under the chapter “Basis for Offer Price”
beginning on page 123 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer. The market price
of the Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the Offer Price. We
cannot assure you that you will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
77. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further, the current market price
of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book Running Lead Managers is below their
respective issue prices.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company
in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined
by our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers through the Book Building Process. These will be
based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 123 and may not be
indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer.
Additionally, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings managed by the
Book Running Lead Managers is below their respective issue price. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory
Disclosures – Price information of past issues handled by the BRLMs” commencing on page 409. The factors that could
affect the market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance and results
of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop
or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity
Shares will be traded after listing.
78. As a publicly listed company, we will be subject to additional compliance requirements and increased scrutiny. Certain
of our Directors do not have any prior experience in directorship of listed entities, which may affect the ability to meet
these additional compliance requirements and making key decisions.
As a publicly listed company we will be subjected to the compliance requirements and increased scrutiny of our affairs by
Shareholders, regulators and the public at large associated with being a publicly listed company. As a publicly listed
company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other issues that were not present as an
unlisted company. Certain of our Directors do not have prior experience on the board of directors of publicly listed
companies which may affect our ability to meet the additional compliance requirements and scrutiny we receive as a public
listed company and be detrimental to our Board of Directors when making key decisions, which in turn could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For further information on our Directors, see “Our
Management - Board of Directors” on page 244.
79. Subsequent to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measures and Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity
and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, in the past, have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures with respect to the
shares of listed companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) to enhance market integrity, safeguard the interests of investors
and potential market abuses. In addition to various surveillance measures already implemented, and to further safeguard the
interest of investors, the SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures (“ASM”) and
graded surveillance measures (“GSM”).
ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain objective
parameters such as price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, client concentration, variation in volume of shares and
64
volatility of shares, among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price
quoted on the Stock Exchanges is not commensurate with, among other things, the financial performance and financial
condition measures such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net worth, other measures such as price-to-earnings multiple
and market capitalization.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors which
may result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity
Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters
prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other
surveillance measures, which could result in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI
and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, limiting trading frequency
or freezing of price on the upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards
of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on the market
price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company. Any such instance
may result in a loss of our reputation and diversion of our management’s attention and may also decrease the market price
of our Equity Shares which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
80. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate
procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that
would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and
widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in
asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
81. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the
value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of our
Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency for
repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time taken for such conversion may
reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay
in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory
approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the proceeds received by Shareholders. For
example, the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and
may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the returns on our Equity Shares,
independent of our operating results.
82. Our Company’s Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and may experience price and volume fluctuations
following the completion of the Offer, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop, the price of our
Equity Shares may be volatile and may not be indicative of the market price of Equity Shares after the Offer, and you
may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market for our Equity Shares
may not develop. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop, or if developed,
the liquidity of such market for our Equity Shares. Investors might not be able to rapidly sell the Equity Shares at the quoted
price if there is no active trading in the Equity Shares. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares will be determined through a
book-building process and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares at the time of commencement of
trading of our Equity Shares or at any time thereafter.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares
after this Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks,
including but not limited to those described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These broad market fluctuations and
industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Equity Shares, regardless of our Company’s performance. In
addition, following the expiry of the six-month locked-in period on certain portions of the pre-Offer Equity Share capital,
our Promoters may sell its shareholding in our Company, depending on market conditions and its investment horizon. Any
perception by investors that such sales might occur could additionally affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to sell your Equity Shares at or above
the Offer Price, or at all. A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause investors to lose some or all of
their investment.
83. We cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future.
Our Company has a formal dividend policy as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our Company, however,
has not declared dividends on our Equity Shares during the current Fiscal Year and the last three Fiscal Years. Our ability
65
to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our dividend policy, future results of operations, financial condition, cash
flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements and other factors considered relevant by our
directors and shareholders. Our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted under certain financing arrangements that we
may enter into. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends on the Equity Shares at any point in the future.
For details pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page 270.
84. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of and dividend on the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares held as
investments in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Securities transaction tax (“STT”) will be levied on and
collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed
equity shares on a Stock Exchange held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject
to long term capital gains in India at the specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken
on or off the Stock Exchanges, STT paid, the quantum of gains and any available treaty relief. Further, any capital gains
realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately preceding the date of transfer
will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. The capital gains tax applicable at the time of sale of equity shares,
on a stock exchange or off-market sale, is subject to amendments from time to time.
Further, the Finance Act, 2019 has made various amendments in the taxation laws and has also clarified that, in the absence
of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through stock
exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus will be on
the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures, on a delivery basis is specified at 0.015% and
on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. These amendments have come into effect from
July 1, 2020. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where
the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident.
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other
countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of Equity Shares.
Additionally, the Finance Act, 2020, has, amongst others things, notified changes and provided a number of amendments to
the direct and indirect tax regime, including, without limitation, a simplified alternate direct tax regime and that dividend
distribution tax will not be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March
31, 2020 and accordingly, such dividends would not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as
non-resident, and are subject to tax deduction at source. We may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where
applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source from such dividend. Investors should
consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of investing or trading in the Equity Shares.
Further, the Government of India has recently introduced various amendments to the Income Tax Act, vide the Finance Act,
2024. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business, financial
condition, future cash flows and results of operations. Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the
promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business
and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional
approvals.
85. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders are not permitted to
withdraw their Bids after Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are required to pay the Bid Amount on
submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the
Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders can revise their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period
and withdraw their Bids until Bid/Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete all necessary formalities
for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed
to be listed including Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, or such
other time period as required under the applicable laws, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares,
including material adverse changes in macro-economic conditions, our business, results of operation or financial condition
may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity
Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted or cause the
trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
86. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE and NSE in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until
after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Offer and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Offer.
In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the BSE
66
and NSE within such time as mandated under UPI Circulars, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard.
However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure
or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
87. Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and could
thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer holders of its Equity Shares
pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of Equity Shares to maintain their existing ownership
percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by the adoption
of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the Equity Shares who have voted on such resolution. However, if the
laws of the jurisdiction that holders are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering
document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the holders will be unable to exercise
such pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. The Company may elect not to file a registration statement in relation
to pre-emptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to the holders. To the extent that the holders are unable to exercise
pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, they may suffer future dilution of their ownership position and
their proportional interests in our Company would be reduced.
88. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity linked securities by our Company may
dilute holders’ shareholding and sales of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or other shareholders, may adversely affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us may lead to
the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in us. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our shareholders or the perception that such
issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed
companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse
consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt.
Additionally, the disposal, pledge or encumbrance of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or other shareholders, or the
perception that such transactions may occur, may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance
that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of the Equity Shares. Such securities
may also be issued at prices below the Offer Price.
89. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions under
Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company,
even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or would
otherwise be beneficial to you. Although the SEBI Takeover Regulations have been formulated to ensure that interests of
investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of
our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares
at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover
would not be attempted or consummated.
Shareholders’ rights under Indian law and our Articles of Association may not be as extensive and widespread as
shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face more challenges in asserting their
rights as a shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
90. Foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions under Indian laws, which limit the ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely impact the market price of Equity Shares.
Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to Government regulation. Under the foreign exchange regulations
currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance
with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements
specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing
guidelines or reporting requirements or does not fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then prior approval
of the RBI will be required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the
Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain
prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for
granting approval for foreign investment.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Indian Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency
and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income
tax authority. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency
can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all.
67
Further, pursuant to Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any investment,
subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares a land border with India or where
the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only be made through
Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. These investment
restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. The Company cannot assure investors that any
required approval from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all. For further
details, please see “Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 444.

The fund requirements, proposed deployment of funds and the intended use of the Net Proceeds set out above is based on our
current business plan, internal management estimates, valid quotations received from third parties, certificate from an
103
independent project consultant, current circumstances of our business, prevailing market conditions and other commercial
considerations. However, these fund requirements and proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised by any
bank or financial institution. We may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment on account of a variety of factors
such as our financial and market condition, our business and growth strategies, our ability to identify and implement growth
initiatives, competitive landscape, general factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition and access to capital
and other external factors such as changes in the business environment or regulatory climate and interest or exchange rate
fluctuations, which may not be within the control of our management. Further, in the event, the Net Proceeds are not utilized
(in full or in part) for the objects of the Offer during the period stated above due to any reason, including (i) the timing of
completion of the Offer; (ii) market conditions outside the control of our Company; and (iii) any other economic, business and
commercial considerations, the remaining Net Proceeds shall be utilized in subsequent periods for the years 2025-2026 and if
not in these years then by year 2026-2027 as may be determined by our Company, in accordance with applicable laws. This
may also entail rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements, including the expenditure for a
particular purpose at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable law. For details, see “Risk Factors
Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds towards repayment and/ or prepayment of all or
certain portion of outstanding borrowing are based on management estimates and have not been independently appraised
by any bank or financial institution. Variations in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance
requirements, and our inability to comply with such requirements may cause an adverse impact on our business and
operations. “on page 51.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws, if the actual utilisation towards any of the Objects, as set out above, is lower than
the proposed deployment, such balance will be used towards any other Object including general corporate purposes, provided
that the total amount to be utilised towards general corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds, in accordance
with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In case of a shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds towards meeting the
Objects of the Offer, we may explore a range of options including utilising our internal accruals, any additional equity or debt
arrangements or both. We believe that such alternate arrangements would be available to fund any such shortfalls. Further, in
case of any variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above, increased fund requirements
for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, including from internal accruals, if any, available in respect of the
other purposes for which funds are being raised in the Offer. To the extent our Company is unable to utilise any portion of the
Net Proceeds towards the aforementioned Objects, as per the estimated schedule of deployment specified above, our Company
shall deploy the Net Proceeds in subsequent Fiscals for the years, 2025-2026 and if not in these fiscal then by fiscal 2026-2027
towards the aforementioned Objects as may be determined by our Company, in accordance with applicable law. Our Company
may also utilise any portion of the Net Proceeds, towards the aforementioned Objects of the Offer, ahead of the estimated
schedule of deployment specified above.
Our Board at its meeting held on December 28, 2024 approved the Objects of the Offer and the respective amounts proposed to
be utilized from the Net Proceeds for each Object
Our Company has entered into various financial arrangements from time to time, with banks and financial institutions. The loan
facilities availed by our Company include borrowings in the form of, inter alia, term loans and working capital facilities including
fund based and non-fund-based borrowings. As at November 30, 2024, our total outstanding borrowings (fund based) amounted
to ₹ 1,290.39 million. For further details on our borrowings, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 393. Our Company proposes
to utilise an estimated amount of ₹1,190.00.00 million from the Net Proceeds towards full or partial repayment or pre-payment
of certain borrowings availed by our Company. Our Company may avail further loans and/or draw down further funds under
existing loans from time to time.
The selection of borrowings proposed to be repaid/pre-paid amongst our borrowing arrangements availed is based on various
factors including (i) cost of borrowing, including applicable interest rates, (ii) any conditions attached to the borrowings
restricting our ability to prepay the borrowings and time taken to fulfil or obtain waiver for such requirements, and (iii) other
commercial considerations including, among others, the amount of the loans outstanding and the remaining tenor of the loan.
However, the aggregate amount to be utilised from the Net Proceeds towards repayment or prepayment of borrowings (including
refinanced or additional facilities availed, if any), in part or full, would not exceed ₹ 1,190.00 million. The details of the Objects
have been approved by our Board pursuant to its resolution dated December 28, 2024.
Pursuant to the terms of the borrowing arrangements, prepayment of certain indebtedness may attract prepayment charges as
prescribed by the respective lender. Such prepayment charges, as applicable, will also be funded out of the Net Proceeds. If the
Net Proceeds are insufficient to the extent required for making payments for such prepayment penalties or premiums, such
excessive amount shall be met from our internal accruals. Given the nature of these borrowings and the terms of repayment or
prepayment, the aggregate outstanding amounts under these borrowings may vary from time to time and our Company may, in
accordance with the relevant repayment schedule, repay or refinance some of the existing borrowings prior to Allotment.
Accordingly, our Company may utilise the Net Proceeds for part prepayment of any such refinanced facilities or repayment of
104
any additional facilities obtained by our Company. However, the aggregate amount to be utilised from the Net Proceeds towards
repayment and/or prepayment, in part or full, of certain borrowings (including refinanced or additional facilities availed, if any),
would not exceed ₹1,190.00 million.
We believe that such repayment and/or pre-payment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness, debt servicing costs and
improve our debt to equity ratio and enable utilisation of our accruals for further investment in our business growth and
expansion. Additionally, we believe that the leverage capacity of our Company will improve our ability to raise further resources
in the future to fund our potential business development opportunities and plans to grow and expand our business. The following
table provides the details of borrowings availed by our Company as of November 30, 2024, which we have identified to repay
or prepay, in full or in part aggregating up to ₹1,190.00 million, from the Net Proceeds:

We may, from time to time, repay, refinance, enter into further financing arrangements or draw down funds from any such
existing borrowing facilities. In such event, we may utilise the Net Proceeds towards repayment/prepayment of any existing or
additional indebtedness which will be selected based on various commercial considerations including, among others, the interest
on the borrowing facility, the amount of the borrowing outstanding and the remaining tenor of the borrowing, levy of prepayment
penalty and quantum, any conditions attached to the borrowings restricting the ability to pre-pay/repay/redeem the borrowings,
receipt of consents for repayment/prepayment from the respective lenders on agreed terms and conditions, presence of onerous
terms and conditions under the facility, other commercial considerations and applicable law governing such borrowings.
As mentioned above, we propose to repay or pre-pay certain loans obtained from State Bank of India from the Net Proceeds.
While State Bank of India is an affiliate of one of the BRLMs, SBI Capital Markets Limited, it is not an associate of our Company
in terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Merchant Bankers) Regulations, 1992. Further, such loans sanctioned
to our Company by State Bank of India are part of their normal commercial lending activity and we do not believe that there is
any conflict of interest under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Merchant Bankers) Regulations, 1992, as amended,
or any other applicable SEBI rules or regulations. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – Our funding
requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds towards repayment and/ or prepayment of all or certain portion
of outstanding borrowing are based on management estimates and have not been independently appraised by any bank or
financial institution. Variations in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements,
and our inability to comply with such requirements may cause an adverse impact on our business and operations.” on page
29.
For the purposes of the Offer, our Company has obtained consents and notified the relevant lenders, as is respectively required
under the relevant facility documentation for undertaking the Offer. Further, to the extent our Company may be subject to the
levy of prepayment penalties or premiums, depending on the facility being repaid/prepaid, the conditions specified in the relevant
documents governing such credit facility and the amount outstanding/being pre-paid/repaid, as applicable, payment of such
penalty or premium shall be made from the Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to the extent required for making
payments for such prepayment penalties or premiums, such excessive amount shall be met from our internal accruals.
No portion of the Net Proceeds, that will be utilised for repayment/ prepayment, in full or part, of certain borrowings availed by
our Company, will be directly or indirectly routed to our Promoter, members of the Promoter Group, Group Companies or
associates.
2. Funding capital expenditure requirements towards purchase of equipment, plant and machinery at Noida Unit-

capacity at our existing facility at Noida Unit-IV, Noida Unit-V, Karegaon Unit, Shirwal Unit, Chennai Unit, and our Registered
Office. Accordingly we intend to utilize up to ₹ 649.68 million towards purchase of machinery for additional capacity for
manufacturing of toughened glass, magnetic strips and rigid profile extrusion at our existing production facilities Noida Unit-
IV, Noida Unit-V, Karegaon Unit, Shirwal Unit, Chennai Unit, and our Registered Office in order to increase the automated
processes available at such facilities as well as for the replacement of existing machinery, for facility improvisations. Our
investment in new machinery for automation and modernization and/or replacement seeks to strategically enhance our
operational efficiency, improve product quality, reduce costs and maintain a competitive edge.
We invest significantly in advanced machinery and equipment to support our manufacturing operations. The following table sets

In relation to the purchase of machinery as set out above, we have not entered into any definitive agreements with any of these
vendors and there can be no assurance that the same vendors would be engaged to eventually supply the machinery or at the
same costs. The quantity of machinery to be purchased will be based on management estimates and our business requirements.
In addition to estimated expenses mentioned above, there may be revision in the final amounts payable towards these quotations
pursuant to any taxes, levies payable and/or freight or installing cost, if any, on such item. Our Company shall have the flexibility
to deploy such machinery according to the business requirements of our Company and based on estimates of our management.
No second-hand or used machinery is proposed to be purchased out of the Net Proceeds. Each of the units of machinery
mentioned above is proposed to be acquired in a ready-to-use condition, post installation and commissioning requirement.
Further, the Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and the Group Company do not have any interest in the proposed
acquisition of the machinery or in the entity from which we have obtained quotations in relation to such proposed acquisition
of the machinery and our Company has confirmed that such entities do not form part of our Promoter Group or Group Company.
The fund requirements for purchase of equipment, plant and machinery for our manufacturing facilities at Noida Unit-IV, Noida
Unit-V, Karegaon Unit, Shirwal Unit, Chennai Unit, and our Registered Office are proposed to be entirely funded from the Net
Proceeds. Accordingly, we confirm that there is no requirement for us to make firm arrangements of finance under Regulation
7(1)(e) the SEBI ICDR Regulations through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the
amount to be raised through the Fresh Issue or through existing identifiable internal accruals.
Our Company proposes to deploy the balance Net Proceeds, aggregating to ₹ [●] million, towards general corporate purposes as
approved by our management from time to time, subject to such utilisation not exceeding 25% of the Gross Proceeds, in
compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The general corporate purposes for which our Company proposes to utilise Net
Proceeds include, without limitation, business development initiatives, design and development, meeting any expense including
salaries and wages, rent, administration costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance, payment of taxes and duties,
inorganic opportunities and similar other expenses incurred in the ordinary course of our business any of the other Objects,
payment of liabilities, capital expenditure or towards any exigencies. The quantum of utilisation of funds towards each of the
above purposes will be determined by our Board, based on the amount actually available under this head and the business
requirements of our Company, from time to time, subject to compliance with applicable law.
In addition to the above, our Company may utilise the Net Proceeds towards other purposes considered expedient and as approved
periodically by our Board, subject to compliance with necessary provisions of the Companies Act. Our Company’s management
shall have flexibility in utilising surplus amounts, if any. Our management will have the discretion to revise our business plan
from time to time and consequently our funding requirement and deployment of funds may change. This may also include
rescheduling the proposed utilization of Net Proceeds. Our management, in accordance with the policies of our Board, will have
flexibility in utilizing the proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes. In the event that we are unable to utilize the entire
amount that we have currently estimated for use out of Net Proceeds in a Fiscal, we will utilize such unutilized amount in the
subsequent Fiscals.
The Net Proceeds pending utilisation for the purposes stated in this section, shall be deposited only with scheduled commercial
banks included in the Second Schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, as amended. In accordance with Section 27 of
the Companies Act, our Company confirms that it shall not use the Net Proceeds for buying, trading or otherwise dealing in
equity shares of any other listed company or for any investment in the equity markets.
Our Company has not raised any bridge loans from any bank or financial institution as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus,
which are proposed to be repaid from the Net Proceeds. However, depending upon business requirements, our Company may
consider raising bridge financing facilities, including through secured or unsecured loans or any short-term instrument like non-
convertible debentures, commercial papers etc. pending receipt of the Net Proceeds. If any bridge financing is availed to fund
any of the objects mentioned above, then the same would be repaid out of the IPO proceeds and such utilization (towards
repayment of Bridge Loan) shall be construed to be done for the specific object itself.

Explanation of the historic use of the Key Performance Indicators by our Company to analyse, track or monitor the
operational and/or financial performance of our Company
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review and
assess our performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
Restated Financial Information. These KPIs may not be defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with Ind AS
and hence, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an
indicator of our performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operations. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools.
Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information used by other companies and hence their comparability may be
limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of
performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operation. Although these KPIs
are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management
believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational metric
to evaluate our business. For further details please see “Risk Factors – We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included
certain Non-GAAP Measures that may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the consumer
appliance component industry and may not be comparable with financial information of similar nomenclature computed
and presented by other companies.” on page 60.
The list of our KPIs along with brief explanation of the relevance of the KPI for our business operations are set forth below:
Payable days is calculated as 365 / (Revenue from operations / Average Trade Payables
as on the last date of the relevant period).
Net Debt/Equity Net debt divided by total net worth as on the last date of the reporting period, where net
debt is calculated as long-term borrowings plus short-term borrowings less cash and cash
equivalents and other bank balances
We have also described and defined the KPIs, as applicable, in “Definitions and Abbreviations - Technical/ Industry Related
Abbreviations” on page 10.
Set forth below is a comparison of our KPIs with our peer company listed in India:

1.1.2. Inflation
Global inflation, after peaking at 8.6% in CY2022, eased to 6.7% in CY2023 and is projected to decline to 5.8% in CY2024.
This decline is driven by tighter monetary policies and lower international commodity prices. Faster disinflation could ease
financial conditions, while stronger reforms may boost productivity. However, new commodity price spikes or persistent
inflation could prolong tight monetary policies.
140
Exhibit 1.2: Inflation Rate – Historic and Forecast, World, CY2018 – CY2028E
India's FY2025 budget emphasizes nine key priorities aimed at achieving 'Viksit Bharat' or a ‘Developed India’. These priorities
include a) enhancing productivity and resilience in agriculture, b) fostering employment and skilling, c) promoting inclusive
human resource development and social justice, d) boosting the manufacturing and services sectors, e) advancing urban
development, f) ensuring energy security, g) investments in infrastructure, h) innovation, research and development, and i)
implementation of next-generation reforms. These priorities further underscore the government's vision for sustainable growth
and development across multiple sectors.
In CY2019, the Indian government set a target of becoming a USD 5 trillion economy by FY2025 however, the original timeline
has been revised by 18-24 months post pandemic. India crossed USD 3 trillion mark in FY2022 and likely to surpass USD 4
trillion mark in FY2025. The country needs another 2-3 years to cross USD 5 trillion mark unless some major unseen shock
happens – this would make India the third largest economy by surpassing Germany and Japan.
Macro factors contributing to economic growth include a young demographic dividend, spurring infrastructure demand due to
rapid urbanization, and global supply chain shifts that present new investment opportunities. While The Reserve Bank of India's
monetary policy is helping to manage inflation, the trade agreements are boosting export potential. While ‘Digital India’
programme is enhancing digital literacy, ‘Skill India Mission’ is improving workforce capabilities, and ‘Make in India’
programme is encouraging domestic manufacturing and foreign investments. Additionally, 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity
by 2030, is reinforcing India's commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, expanding financial inclusion continues to empower
individuals and businesses, strengthening overall economic activity. India’s nominal GDP is projected to reach INR 319.5 trillion
by FY2025E and INR 435.5 trillion by FY2029E, driven by recovery and infrastructure projects.

1.2.4. Deployment of bank credit towards consumer durables
Between FY2014 and FY2024, bank credit for consumer durables in India grew from INR 130 billion to INR 240 billion, at a
CAGR of 6.3%. After steady growth until FY2017, there was a sharp decline in the deployment of gross bank credit for consumer
durables in FY2019 primarily due to economic slowdown that reduced consumer spending, rising interest rates that made loans
more expensive, high levels of household debt leading to cautious spending, liquidity issues in the non-banking financial sector
affecting overall credit availability and stricter lending norms from banks. Credit deployment since then recovered and grew
steadily, reflecting stronger economic conditions and rising demand for consumer durables.
Exhibit 1.7: Deployment of bank credit towards Consumer Durables, value in INR Bn, FY2014 - FY2024
1.2.5. Urbanisation
According to the World Bank, India became the world’s most populous country in CY2022, with 1.41 billion people, accounting
for 18% of the global population. The population is expected to grow at a CAGR of 0.9% between CY2023 and CY2028. Rapid
urbanization led to a significant increase in urban towns and cities, driven by a better standard of living and more opportunities,
resulting in greater demand for infrastructure and housing.
Exhibit 1.8: India - Population vs Urbanization, Split in %, CY2018 - CY2028E
1.2.6. Inflation
Inflation started showing an upward trend since FY2019 and increased to 6.7% in FY2023. Rising inflation emerged as a key
macroeconomic concern in FY2023 with prices of almost every commodity touching new heights. However, in line with the
global trend, the inflation in India moderated to 5.4% in FY2024 due to a drop in commodity prices and actions taken by RBI.
The RBI left its inflation forecast for FY2025 unchanged at 4.5% even though spike in crude oil prices and persisting worries
about supply chain due to the Red Sea crisis. In the medium term, RBI expects the inflation to be stabilized at around 4% by
FY2029.

the country. These programmes have successfully electrified 100% of urban households and 99.3% of Indian rural households
at the end of FY2023 as per a report from the World Bank. The government is further supporting States for electrification of any
left-out households under the ongoing scheme of Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). RDSS has an outlay of INR
3,038 billion with gross budgetary support of INR 976 billion from Government of India over a period of five years from FY2022
to FY2026.

Exhibit 2.4: Approved financial outlay under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme
The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for white goods aims to enhance India's manufacturing capabilities for Air
Conditioners (ACs) and LED lights by providing incentives of 4% to 6% on incremental sales over five years. The scheme covers
90% of the Bill of Material (BoM) for ACs and 87% for LED lights, targeting a significant increase in local value addition from
20% to 80-85%. It is expected to drive INR 2,710 billion in production and attract INR 58.9 billion in investments. Future
expansions could include refrigerators and additional white goods components to further strengthen India's manufacturing
ecosystem.
Key trends in Indian Electronics manufacturing sector
2.3.1. FDI Inflows in Indian Electronics Sector
India's electronics sector has witnessed a significant resurgence in FDI inflows since FY2019, driven by a combination of factors.
Government initiatives like the National Electronics Policy and Production-Linked Incentive scheme, coupled with economic
factors such as global demand and domestic market growth, have created a favorable environment for investment. Improvements
in infrastructure and increased investor confidence have further fueled this positive trend. These combined factors have made
India a more attractive destination for electronics manufacturers seeking to capitalize on the growing global demand for
electronic products.
In FY2015, FDI inflows in the Indian electronics sector were relatively modest at USD 1.5 billion. The next couple of years saw
FDI growing gradually to USD 1.7 billion before falling steeply to USD 0.2 billion and USD 0.5 billion in the next two financial
years owing to a combination of economic and policy factors. Economic factors, such as a global economic downturn and
domestic economic challenges, may have made investors more cautious. Policy factors, including the introduction of GST,
regulatory changes, infrastructure constraints, and geopolitical tensions, could have created a less favorable investment
environment. However, driven by Govt.’s vision for the Electronics sector and attractive policies, FDI in Indian Electronics
sector surged to USD 2.9 billion in FY2020, signaling renewed investor interest and confidence in India's electronics sector. The
positive trend continued into FY2022, FY2023 and FY2024, with inflows rising to USD 3.6 billion, USD 4.1 billion, and USD
4.8 billion respectively.
Exhibit 2.5: India - FDI inflow in the Electronics sector, value in USD billion, FY2015 – FY2024
The Company's manufacturing units have been strategically positioned near key northern, western and southern appliance
manufacturing hubs of our OEM customers, which reduces lead times and logistics costs and ensures faster and more efficient
delivery. This proximity suggests potential supply chain synergies, especially for components or raw materials that Ajay Poly
supplies to these manufacturers resulting in reduced logistics costs and enhanced just-in-time manufacturing practices.
Exhibit 2.7: Select global companies and their expansion plans in India
149
Exhibit 2.8: Mapping Ajay Poly’s Manufacturing Footprint and EMC Clusters in India
In order to reduce dependence on imports, the government introduced PLI schemes and is developing Electronics Manufacturing
Clusters (EMCs) across the country (in places such as Mundra, Adityapur, Mysore, etc.), providing world-class infrastructure to
boost domestic production. Ajay Poly Ltd. (APL) has strategically positioned its manufacturing facilities across India, aligning
closely with key Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs). The company operates five units in Greater Noida, a prominent
hub for consumer electronics and mobile manufacturing. In Pune, APL has two facilities, one in Karegaon, and other in Shirwal,
strategically located within the western EMC ecosystem catering to industrial and consumer electronics. Its Chennai facility is
well-positioned near the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam EMCs in Tamil Nadu, while the Sanand unit in Gujarat supports the
western electronics supply chain. Additionally, the Mohali unit complements northern industrial hubs. This extensive presence
enables APL to support manufacturers in major EMC regions.
Exhibit 2.9: Import of Electronic products, INR billion, India, FY2019 - FY2029E
The Govt. is also using various means to curb imports such as ‘Phased Manufacturing Programmes’ and subsequent penalties,
mandatory BIS certifications, import duty and anti-dumping duties, etc. For example, Government published a long list of more
than 65 products including Television, Laptops, LEDs etc. that require mandatory BIS certification, effectively restricting the
import. The government also prohibited the import of air conditioners (both split and window models with refrigerants), which
were previously under the ‘free’ import category, shifting them to the ‘prohibited’ category to further support domestic
production. As a result, imports of electronics into the country are expected to decline from FY2025 onwards and is expected to
drop to INR 5,500 billion by FY2029.
2.3.4. Growing exports
India’s electronics exports have been rising steadily, driven by the China+1 strategy, strong government support through the PLI
scheme, and a growing domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
Exhibit 2.10: Export of Electronic products, INR billion, India, FY2019 - FY2029E
150
Increased investments in infrastructure, skilled labor, and R&D have enabled Indian manufacturers to meet global demand,
particularly for mobile phones, semiconductors, and electronic components. Favorable trade agreements and rising global
demand for digital technologies like 5G and AI will further boost export growth, positioning India as a key player in the global
electronics market.
As per data published by MeitY, exports of electronics products increased by almost three times between FY2019 and FY2023
- from INR 619 billion to INR 1,899 billion, at a staggering CAGR of 31.7%. The exports has reached INR 2,400 billion landmark
in FY2024 which is approximately 25% of domestic electronics production. The share of exports is expected to increase further
to 35% by FY2029, amouting to INR 8,876 billion.
An interesting trend has been observed that the per capita income of most of the economies grows at a faster pace after reaching
the inflection point of USD 2,000. The USA and UK reached this mark between 1950 and 1970, while Malaysia reached the
mark in 1986, Thailand in 1994, China in 2007 and Vietnam in 2012. It has been observed that this event generally has a positive
152
effect on the Consumer Electronics market. With higher income levels, consumers often aspire to upgrade their lifestyles and
seek improved living standards. They tend to invest in products that offer convenience, comfort, and enhanced features, such as
high-end electronics, home appliances, and luxury goods. India reached this important milestone of USD 2,000 per capita income
in CY2019 and has the potential to achieve USD 10,000 per capita income or a USD 20 trillion economy by the year 2047 if it
manages to accomplish a sustained growth rate of 7–7.5%.

Overview of global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market
3.3.1. Size of global EMS market
Due to attractive value propositions such as increased production efficiency, reduced costs, faster product launch and reduction
in non-core activities, the global EMS market witnessed a period of `steady growth till CY2018, riding on the wave of increased
outsourcing activities from brand manufacturers and increasing electronics content. In CY2019, however, the opportunities
started stagnating due to a multitude of factors such as decline in global automotive sales and saturation of consumer electronic
sales. Besides, supply chain restrictions due to heightened trade tensions between US and China, followed by the pandemic in
the end of 2019 affected the global EMS market significantly during this period – the supply chain glut eased subsequently
however continued till the beginning of CY2023. The market is now on a steady growth path and valued at USD 789 billion in
CY2023 and expected to reach to USD 1,304 billion in CY2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.6%.
Exhibit 3.9: Global EMS market, value in USD billion, growth in %, CY2018 – CY2028E
155
3.4.1. Business models of Indian EMS companies
Two business models are widely followed by the large and medium EMS companies in India – ODM and EMS model. Under
ODM model, EMS companies (often refer them as OEMs / ODMs) design products as per the specifications provided by the
brands. EMS companies then source components, carry out fabrication and assembly, test the final product, and also undertake
logistics and after sales services related activities. ODM model helps the EMS companies to have deeper and long-term business
relations with the OEMs. This is a high margin business and comes at a premium for good designs.
On the other hand, under EMS model, which is currently widely followed in India, brands / OEMs provide designs and
specifications to the EMS companies. EMS companies source components, manufacture / assemble components, and supply the
finished products back to brands / OEMs.
Exhibit 3.11: Business models of Indian EMS companies
Increasingly, Indian EMS companies are moving beyond traditional contract manufacturing activities and offering
comprehensive design services, benefiting both EMS companies and brands by enhancing profit margins and allowing brands to
concentrate on core activities such as innovation, brand development, sales and marketing, etc. Besides, with higher volume, and
catering to multiple brands / OEMs, the EMS companies can enjoy the economies of scale, leading to improved margins or lower
prices offered to brands / OEMs or both. Additionally, with increase in demand, EMS companies are likely to invest in a
localized component ecosystem, bolstering domestic sourcing and competitiveness in the domestic electronics manufacturing

A. Gaskets for refrigerator doors
Refrigerator door gasket assemblies are flexible sealing components designed to create an airtight seal between the refrigerator
door and its main body. These gaskets are essential for maintaining energy efficiency, preserving food quality, and optimizing
appliance performance. These gaskets are essential for maintaining the refrigerator's internal temperature, preventing warm air
infiltration, and enhancing energy efficiency.
Typically made from soft PVC or thermoplastic elastomers, these gaskets are engineered for flexibility, durability, and long-
term performance. They are specifically designed to withstand repeated compression and retain their shape over time, ensuring
a consistent and reliable seal throughout the appliance’s lifespan.
Key applications and features include:
Applications: Widely used in household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, industrial cold storage, and portable
cooling devices.
Material: Made from flexible polymer materials such as soft PVC or thermoplastic elastomers.
Customizable Design: Available in various sizes and shapes to fit different refrigerator models.
Energy Efficiency: Helps minimize air leakage, maintain stable temperatures, and reduce energy usage.
Food Preservation: Ensures optimal insulation, keeping food fresh for longer periods.
These gasket assemblies play a critical role in modern refrigeration, combining functionality with energy-saving benefits to meet
the demands of both household and commercial applications.
The manufacturing process for these soft seals involves a series of precise steps, starting from the preparation of raw materials
to the final assembly of the magnetic strip and sealing components. The following is a list of processes required to manufacture
a Soft seals.
Raw materials mixing
Pelletisation
Extrusion
Gasket joining
The production process begins with the preparation of raw materials, including Virgin PVC Resin, Soya Bean Oil, CPE, Iron
Oxide, and Barium/Strontium Carbonate. These raw materials undergo in-house processing where they are transformed into
intermediate products.
187
The PVC Compound Process Line handles PVC Resin, which is compounded with other additives to produce customized PVC
Compound Pellets with specific colour and physical properties. Simultaneously, Barium/Strontium Ferrite Powder is
compounded to create Magnetic Compound Pellets, which serve as the basis for magnetic components.
These compounds then move to the extrusion stage, where PVC Compound Pellets are processed into durable Gaskets, and
Magnetic Compound Pellets are extruded into Flexible Magnetic Strips. Finally, the gaskets and magnetic strips are integrated
during the assembly stage, resulting in finished Gasket Assemblies, ready for industrial or consumer use. This integrated
production approach emphasizes backward integration, ensuring in-house control of all critical manufacturing processes for
gaskets, magnetic strips, and related components.
Exhibit 5.2: Process flow, manufacturing process for gaskets for refrigerator door:
The manufacturing process for refrigeration door gaskets begins with mixing raw materials such as PVC resin, Epoxidised
Soyabean Oil (ESO), pigments, and various additives. This blend is carefully prepared to ensure uniformity and provide the
gasket with the necessary flexibility, durability, thermal stability, and desired color. The mixture is then processed through
pelletisation, where it is heated, shaped into small, uniform pellets, and cooled. These pellets are easy to handle and ensure
consistency during further processing.
In the extrusion stage, the pellets are melted and pushed through a die to create gasket profiles with precise dimensions. For
gaskets requiring magnetic properties, magnetic strips are embedded during or immediately after extrusion to enable airtight
sealing with refrigeration doors. Once the profiles are extruded and cooled, they are cut, joined, or welded into complete gaskets
tailored to the door’s specifications.
The final stage involves assembling and inspecting the gaskets to ensure they meet dimensional accuracy and performance
requirements. Rigorous quality checks are conducted to confirm the gaskets’ sealing efficiency before they are packaged and
dispatched for use in refrigeration doors. This streamlined process ensures the production of high-quality gaskets that meet
industry standards.
B. Rigid profiles
Rigid profiles are used for trims, transparent profiles, door profiles in both household and commercial refrigerators as well as
various profiles used in commercial visi coolers and deep freezers, for their durability, lightweight properties, and ability to be
formed into specific shapes and profiles.
The extrusion process allows for the creation of components like frames, channels, panels, and profiles that are essential for the
efficient construction and functioning of commercial refrigerators, freezers, and cold storage units. Common materials used in
these extrusions include PVC, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”), high-impact polystyrene (“HIPS”), and polycarbonate,
which offer high strength, thermal insulation, and resistance to moisture and chemicals.
The process for manufacturing rigid profiles involves several key steps, starting with
preparation, pelletisation, and extrusion, which remain consistent with the process used for Gaskets.
However, unlike gaskets, rigid profiles do not include the insertion of a magnetic strip, as their
tougher material properties do not require the additional component for sealing. After
extrusion, the profiles are cooled to solidify their shape, and then undergo a hot stamping process.
During hot stamping, the profiles are subjected to heat and pressure to imprint specific designs
or markings, ensuring they meet the required specifications. Following this, the profiles are
precisely cut to the desired length using post-extrusion cutting techniques. This step ensures that the profiles are accurately sized
for their intended applications, maintaining uniformity and precision. The result is a durable, rigid profile that can be used in
various structural applications, with a focus on providing strength and stability without the need for the magnetic sealing feature
found in softer profiles.
188
Exhibit 5.3: Process flow, manufacturing process for Rigid profiles
C. Extruded sheets
HIPS/ABS sheets are commonly used materials in the manufacturing of home appliances, especially refrigerators. This material
offers high impact resistance, durability, and easy processing, making them suitable for creating various appliance components.
In the context of refrigerator manufacturing, HIPS/ABS sheets are particularly valuable due to their excellent surface finish,
structural stability, and ability to withstand regular wear and tear.
Exhibit 5.4: Process flow, manufacturing process for HIPS/ ABS sheets
These sheets can be utilized for both interior and exterior parts of refrigerators, such as door liners, shelves, and trays. The
production process for HIPS/ABS sheets involves several stages, each contributing to the quality and performance of the final
product. The manufacturing process for HIPS/ABS sheets begins with stringent storage of raw materials, like styrene and
butadiene-styrene-acrylonitrile polymers, in climate-controlled environments to prevent degradation. After quality checks, these
polymers are mixed with additives such as UV stabilizers and impact modifiers to ensure uniform mechanical properties. This
blend is heated in an extruder, forming a molten mass that is shaped into a continuous sheet through a die. Cooling rollers then
solidify the sheet, preserving its structural integrity and smooth finish, essential for appliance components. Finally, precision
cutting tools size the sheets to exact specifications, ensuring a seamless fit during assembly, which is crucial for effective
insulation and durability in applications like refrigerator interiors.

5.1.3. Magnet
Magnetic ferrites are known to possess crystalline structure, and the distribution of the bivalent metal ions and ferric metal ions
in the available spaces among the oxygen atoms in the crystal lattice is what determines the magnetic properties of the ferrite.
These ferrites could be either barium ferrite or strontium ferrite. The commonly practiced method for the production of ferrite
magnets is to first mill particles of barium carbonate or strontium carbonate and ferric iron oxide together to a fine state of
subdivision. Thereafter a homogeneous mixture of the milled particles in the stoichiometric amount required for barium or
strontium ferrite is prepared, and finally the mixture is calcined at a temperature between 1,000oC to 1,350oC to transform the
barium or strontium carbonate to barium or strontium oxide with concomitant in-situ formation of barium of strontium ferrite.
The calcined product is then milled to a fine state of subdivision to obtain barium of strontium ferrite in powdered form.
This powder is then mixed with water to form a slurry and compacted in a die to produce solid magnets. The power can also be
mixed with resin to form magnetic strips through extrusion process. The manufacturing process of magnetic strips has already
been explained in the ‘Gasket’ section.

taking into account the sales forecast by the Company and current productions being done. We have also verified the production data vis a vis the sales data which are fed into the system for each product
and determined the production capacities. We have considered the shifts which are working at the Plant for the production, in determining the capacities. Production Capacity is an important factor that
needs to be calculated to determine equipment size, satisfy contractual requirements, aid supply chain management, benchmarking against the competitors and obtaining operating permits /licenses/
approvals from various regulators/ government/ agencies. There is no single way to measure capacity and there are numerous factors to be considered, many of which are unique to specific process or
facility. The production capacity calculation does not take into account other factors affecting production. Actual production levels and future capacity utilization rates may therefore vary significantly from
the estimated production capacities of our manufacturing plants.

K.Z Manufacturing Process
Described below is our existing manufacturing process for our major products.
Sheet Extrusion: The HIPS/ABS sheet extrusion manufacturing process begins with the receipt of raw materials (RM) as per
the required grade. Upon receipt, the materials undergo rigorous RM testing to ensure quality. If the materials fail the testing,
they are sent back to the supplier. Approved materials proceed to the mixing stage, where they are prepared for extrusion. The
extrusion process forms the material into sheets, which are then cooled to solidify the structure. The cooled sheets are cut to the
desired dimensions and subsequently inspected for quality. If defects are found during inspection, the sheets are either reworked
or rejected. Sheets that pass inspection are packed according to standard specifications and then dispatched to customers. This
structured process ensures consistent quality and efficiency in producing HIPS/ABS sheets.
The manufacturing process for a refrigerator door gasket involves a series of well-defined stages to ensure quality and precision.
The process starts with the design and development phase, where product specifications and technical requirements are outlined.
Following this, the incoming quality control (IQC) phase ensures that raw materials meet predefined quality standards. Approved
materials move to the mixing and pelletizing stage, where they are prepared for further processing. Next is the PVC and magnet
extrusion phase, where materials are molded and shaped into gasket profiles while integrating magnetic components for
functionality. After extrusion, the sealing stage is carried out to enhance the durability and airtight properties of the gaskets. The
process concludes with outgoing quality control (OQC), which involves thorough inspection and testing to ensure the final
product meets quality standards before proceeding to the sales phase. Each step is designed to maintain high standards of
efficiency and product reliability.
Glass Door
The glass tempering process begins by collecting the required type, size, and thickness of the raw glass. The raw material
undergoes an initial inspection to ensure it meets quality standards. If the glass is found to be defective, it is rejected or recut.
Approved glass is cut according to an optimized layout and checked for dimensions and visual defects. If issues are detected, the
glass is either rejected or recut. Depending on the requirements, the glass proceeds to single polishing or double/edge grinding
stages, both of which undergo further quality checks. Glass that passes these processes is sent for washing to ensure cleanliness.
After washing, a visual defect check is conducted. Defective pieces are either reworked or scrapped, while acceptable pieces
move to the ceramic ink logo printing stage. Following logo application, the glass undergoes tempering, which enhances its
strength and safety characteristics. A final inspection ensures the tempered glass meets all specifications. Non-conforming pieces
are scrapped, while conforming ones are prepared for further processes or shipment. This comprehensive flow ensures high-
quality tempered glass output.
The digital printing process for a glass door begins with receiving the toughened glass for organic printing. The glass is first
washed to ensure it is clean and free of contaminants. If the washing does not meet quality standards, the glass is rewashed. Once
clean, a logo and sparkle coat are applied, followed by curing at room temperature. The process proceeds to digital printing, after
which the glass is allowed to dry. If the drying is insufficient, the glass undergoes additional waiting time. A second layer of
organic ink is applied as needed, followed by infrared (IR) curing to enhance durability. After curing, the glass is cleaned and
inspected for quality. If the glass fails inspection, it is rejected. For approved glass, protective film and separators are applied to
prevent damage. The finished glass is then packed and dispatched for delivery. This streamlined process ensures high-quality
digital printing on toughened glass doors.
Magnet Powder
The manufacturing process begins with the receipt of raw materials, which undergo a thorough quality inspection. If the materials
fail the inspection, they are returned to the supplier. Approved raw materials proceed to the weighing and mixing stage, ensuring
proper composition for production. After mixing, another quality inspection is conducted to maintain consistency and
standardization.
Next, the materials are pelletized, followed by another quality inspection. The pelletized materials are then subjected to
calcination, a process that removes impurities and enhances material properties. This stage is again followed by a quality
inspection. The calcined materials are then processed through crushing and milling to achieve the desired particle size. Post-
milling, a quality inspection is conducted to ensure compliance with specifications. The final product is then packed and stored,
ready for dispatch. Before delivery, a pre-delivery inspection is carried out to verify the quality of the packed materials. Approved
products are dispatched to customers, completing the process. This systematic approach ensures a consistent and high-quality
output.

These Restated Financial Information have been compiled by the Management from:
a) the audited special purpose interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the three months period
ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles
under Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", specified under section 133 of
the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and presentation requirements of
Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Special Purpose Interim Financial Statements”) which
have been approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on December 26, 2024;
b) the audited special purpose interim financial statements of the company as at and for the three months period
ended June 30, 2023 prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles under Indian
Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", specified under section 133 of the Act and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to
the Companies Act, 2013. The audited Special Purpose Interim Financial Statements are approved by the
Board of Directors at their meeting held on December 26, 2024.
c) the audited special purpose financial statements of the company as at and for the financial years ended March
31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 prepared in accordance with the Ind AS specified under Section 133
of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting

prepared on the basis as described in Note 1 to the Restated Financial Information, which have been approved by
the Board of Directors at their meeting held on December 26, 2024.
For the purpose of the Special Purpose Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023
and March 31, 2022 of the Company, the transition date is considered as April 01, 2021 which is different
from the transition date adopted by the Company at the time of first time transition to Ind AS (i.e. April 01, 2022)
for the purpose of preparation of the Statutory Financial Statements as required under the Act. Accordingly, the
Company has applied the same accounting policy and accounting policy choices (both mandatory exceptions and
optional exemptions availed as per Ind AS 101, as applicable) as on April 01, 2021 for the Special Purpose
Financial Statements, as initially adopted on transition date i.e. April 01, 2022.
As such, the Special Purpose Financial Statements for the three months period ended June 30, 2024 and June 30,
2023 are prepared considering the accounting principles stated in Ind AS, as adopted by the Company and
described in subsequent paragraphs.
The Special Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared solely for the purpose of preparation of

Purpose Financial Statements are not suitable for any other purpose other than for the purpose of
preparation of the Restated Financial Information and are also not financial statements prepared pursuant to any
requirements under Section 129 of the Act.
Further, since the statutory date of transition to Ind AS is April 01, 2022, and that the Special Purpose
Financial Statements for the period/years ended June 30, 2024, June 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023
and March 31, 2022 have been prepared considering a transition date of April 01, 2021, the closing

balances of items included in the Special Purpose Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022 may be different from the
balances considered on the statutory date of transition to Ind AS on April 01, 2022, due to such early
application of Ind AS principles with effect from April 01, 2021 as compared to the date of statutory
transition. Refer note 41 for reconciliation of equity and total comprehensive income as per the Special
Purpose Financial Statements and the Statutory Indian GAAP Financial Statements as at and for the year
ended March 31, 2022 and equity and total comprehensive income as per the Restated Financial Information.
The above Special Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared by making Ind AS adjustments as
mentioned above to the audited Indian GAAP financial statements of the Company as at and for the year
ended March 31 2023 and for the year ended March 31, 2022 prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP (the
“Statutory Indian GAAP Financial Statements”) which was approved by the Board of directors at their
meeting held on December 26, 2024.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company in preparation of the Restated
Financial Information and are consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the Ind AS financial
statements as at and for the three months period ended June 30, 2024.
These Restated Financial Information do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the
respective dates of board meeting for adoption of the financial statements, the Special Purpose Financial
Statement and the Statutory Indian GAAP Financial Statements.
(b) do not require any adjustment for modification as there is no modification in the underlying audit
reports;
(c) the resultant impact of tax due to the aforesaid adjustments, if any.
These Restated Financial Information were approved in accordance with a resolution of the directors on
December 26, 2024.
Basis of preparation
The Restated Financial Information have been prepared on a historical cost basis except certain items that are
measured at fair value as explained in accounting policies.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly
observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would take those
characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for
measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for
leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116 – Leases, and measurements
284
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 –
Inventories or value in use in Ind AS 36 – Impairment of Assets.
These restated financial statements of the Company are presented in Indian National Rupee (‘₹’), which is the
Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest Millions (₹ 000,000), up to two
decimal places unless, otherwise indicated.
In the preparation of Restated Financial information, the Company makes judgements in the application of
accounting policies; and estimates and assumptions which affects carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.
Key source of estimation of uncertainty at the date of financial statements, which may cause material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of
impairment, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax
assets, provisions and contingent liabilities, fair value measurements of financial instruments and retirement benefit
obligations as disclosed below:
Impairment
The Company estimates the value in use of the cash generating unit (CGU) based on future cash flows after
considering current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results and growth rates and
anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal
forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value.
The Company generally offers 12 months warranty for its products. Warranty costs are determined as a
percentage of sales based on the past trends of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements,
material costs and servicing cost. Management estimates the related closing provision as at Balance Sheet date
for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information, as well as recent trends that might
suggest that past information may differ from future claims. The assumptions made in current period are consistent
with those in the prior year. As the time value of money is not considered to be material, warranty provisions
are not discounted.

CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Classification of Leases
The Company enters into leasing arrangements for various assets. The classification of the leasing
arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not
limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee’s option to purchase and estimated
certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to the asset’s economic life, proportion of
present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of specialized nature of the leased
asset.
286
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and non-current liabilities respectively.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of the assets for processing and their realisation in
cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated
depreciation and/ or accumulated impairment, if any. The cost includes its purchase price, including
import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies (for Leasehold improvements and Vehicles, Goods and
Services Tax is not availed but added to the cost of acquisition or construction), freight and any directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and
rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditures related to an item of tangible property, plant and equipment are added to its book
value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of
performance.
The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for their intended use at the Restated Statement of Assets
and Liabilities date are disclosed as capital work in progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, outstanding at each Restated
Statement of Assets and Liabilities date are disclosed as 'capital advances' under 'other non current assets'.
Where a significant component (in terms of cost) of an asset has an economic useful life shorter than that of it’s
corresponding asset, the component is depreciated over it’s shorter life.
287
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Leasehold improvements are being amortised over the duration of the lease, or estimated useful life of the
assets, whichever is lower.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically at each financial year end
and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.
Transition to Ind AS
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property plant and equipment
recognised on the date of transition, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the
deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
c) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated amortisation and
impairment, if any. Intangible assets purchased are measured at cost as at the date of acquisition, as
applicable, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment, if any. The estimated useful life of an
identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand,
competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological
advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows
from the asset.
Amortisation of intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis,
from the date that they are available for use. The management has estimated life of software 5 years.
Transition to Ind AS
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets recognised on the date
of transition, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the
intangible assets.
d) Investment properties
Investment Property is property (comprising land or building or both) held to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or both, but not for sale in ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of
goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are stated at cost of acquisition or
construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any.

i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) received or
receivable when control of the goods is transferred to the customer and there are no unfulfilled
performance obligations as per the contract with the customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it
satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of contract with the customer. This is
achieved when;
290
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
effective control of goods along with significant risks and rewards of ownership has been transferred to
customer;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue represents net value of goods and services provided to customers after deducting for certain
incentives including, but not limited to discounts, volume rebates, etc. For incentives offered to
customers, the Company makes estimates related customer performance and sales volume to determine the
total amounts earned and to be recorded as deductions. The estimate is made in such a manner, which
ensures that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised
will not occur. The actual amounts may differ from these estimates and are accounted for prospectively.
The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the
related products and the customer payments for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a
component of revenue. In certain customer contracts, shipping and handling services are treated as a
distinct separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue for such services when the
performance obligation is completed.
Revenue are net of Goods and Service Tax. No element of significant financing is deemed present as the
sales are made with a credit term, which is consistent with market practice.
Revenue (other than sale) is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Export incentives are recognized when there is
reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions and the incentives will be received.
Export entitlements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the
terms of the scheme is established in respect of exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty
regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis,
by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's
net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Contract assets
Contract asset is right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer and
performance obligation satisfied. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a
customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for
the earned consideration that is conditional. Upon completion of the attached condition and
acceptance by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets is reclassified to trade receivables upon
invoicing. A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.
291
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has
received consideration from the customer. If customer pays consideration before the Company transfers
goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract
liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers
control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Trade receivables
A trade receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of
time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
j) Foreign currencies
The Company’s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also its functional currency. Transactions
and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at functional currency spot rates
at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional
currency closing rate of exchange at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The
gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with
the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on
items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in statement of profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or
statement of profit or loss, respectively).
k) Income Taxes
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted in India, at the reporting date.
Current tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit or loss is recognised outside
statement of profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management
periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets is offset against current tax liabilities if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set
off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
292
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all the
taxable temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised
to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority.
l) Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the
service rendered by employees are recognised during the period when the employee renders the
services.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no
obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes
contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
Company’s contribution to state defined contribution plans namely Employee State Insurance is made in
accordance with the Statute, and are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered services
entitling them to the contribution.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made to a
separately administered fund. Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation.
293
Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit
method. In respect of post-retirement benefit re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the
effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and
the return on plan assets, are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding
debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements
are not reclassified to statement of profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service cost is recognised as an expense when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs or when any
related restructuring costs or termination benefits are recognised, whichever is earlier.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as
short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the
additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance
sheet date. Actuarial gains/ losses on the compensated absences are immediately taken to the statement of
profit and loss and are not deferred.
m) Leases
Company as a lessee
The Company assesses if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period time in
exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date, except for short-
term leases of twelve months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, which are
expensed in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if not readily
determinable, the incremental borrowing rate specific to the country, term and currency of the contract. Lease
payments can include fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate known at the
commencement date, as well as any extension or purchase options, if the Company is reasonably certain to
exercise these options. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method and remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset when there is a
change in future lease payments in case of renegotiation, changes of an index or rate or in case of reassessments
of options.
The right-of-use asset comprises, at inception, the initial lease liability, any initial direct costs and, when
applicable, the obligations to refurbish the asset, less any incentives granted by the lessors. The right-
of-use asset is subsequently depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the lease term, if the lease transfers
the ownership of the underlying asset to the Company at the end of the lease term or, if the cost of the right-of-
use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, over the estimated useful life of the underlying
asset. other are also subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator for impairment. Variable lease
payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are expensed to the statement of
operations in the period in which the events or conditions which trigger those payments occur. In the
statement of financial position right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are classified respectively as part of
property, plant and equipment and short-term/long-term debt.

t) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is defined as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a
financial liability or equity instruments of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative
contracts such as foreign exchange forward contracts, embedded derivatives in the host contract, etc. Initial
recognition and measurement - Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the
Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial
instrument (except trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except
for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Trade
receivables are measured at their transaction price unless it contains a significant financing component in
accordance with Ind AS 115 for pricing adjustments embedded in the contract. Subsequent measurement
[Non-derivative financial assets]-
i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost : A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost, if both
the following conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual
cash flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate (EIR) method.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL) : Financial assets, which does not meet
the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, are classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets
included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the
Statement of Profit & Loss.
Subsequent measurement [Non-derivative financial liabilities]- Subsequent to initial recognition, all
non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade Receivable
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and
financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. A financial asset, except trade receivable which are recognised at
transaction price as per Ind AS 115, or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item
not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its
acquisition or issue.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued.
The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of (i) the amount
determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model as per Ind-AS 109 and (ii) the amount
initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with
the principles of Ind AS 115. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined based on the present
value of the difference in cash flows between the contractual payments required under the debt
instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount
that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.

Ajay Poly Limited (Formerly known as Ajay Poly Private Limited)
CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Trade receivables: In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS
109, which requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument.
Other financial assets: In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those
financial assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased
significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-
month expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the
expected life of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default
occurring on the financial asset as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the
financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is
available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial
recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased
significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the
balance sheet date.
De-recognition of financial assets: A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights
to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash
flows from the asset.
Subsequent measurement: Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities: A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the
liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.

CIN No.: U74899DL1980PTC010508
Offsetting of financial instruments: Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the
net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Company’s position at
the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate
are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the end of the reporting
period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes the restated financial information when
material.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing
standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On August
12, 2024, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024,
applicable from April 1, 2024, as below:
a) Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts
A new Ind AS 117 relating to ‘Insurance Contracts’ has been inserted. Ind AS 117 supersedes Ind AS
104 “Insurance Contracts”. Ind AS 117 establishes principles for recognising, measuring,
presenting and disclosing insurance contracts. The objective is to ensure that an entity
provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. An entity must apply Ind AS
117 to insurance, reinsurance, and investment contracts.
b) Ind AS 116, Leases
The amendment require seller-lessee shall determine 'lease payments' or 'revised lease payments' in
a way that the seller-lessee would not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to
the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. These rules aim to streamline accounting processes
and ensure compliance with the updated Ind AS requirements. However, the Company is not
engaged in sale and lease back transactions, hence do not have any impact on the Restated Financial
Information.
The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Restated
Financial information.

Level 1: Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The fair value of all equity instruments which are
traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives)
is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-
specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This
is the case for unlisted equity securities.
There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

a Credit Risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk
from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing / investing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual fund investments and foreign exchange transactions. The
Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of
its customer base, including the default risk of the industry.
The Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and
conditions are offered. The Company's review includes market check, industry feedback, past financials and external ratings, if they are available.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose
of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are reviewed according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an
individual or a legal entity, their geographic location, industry and existence of previous financial difficulties. The ageing analysis of the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice
falls due.
During the year, the Company has made write-offs of trade receivables of ₹ Nil (June 30, 2023 : ₹ Nil, March 31, 2024 : ₹ Nil, March 31, 2023 : ₹ Nil, March 31, 2022 ₹ 1.40 millions) and it does
not expect to receive future cash flows or recoveries from collection of cash flows previously written off. The Company management also pursue all legal option for recovery of dues wherever
necessary based on its internal assessment.

Annexure VI- Notes to Restated Financial Information
The Company has developed an ECL Model that takes into consideration the stage of delinquency, Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD).
I. Probability of Default (PD): represents the likelihood of default over a defined time horizon. The definition of PD is taken as 90 days past due for all loans.
II. Exposure at Default (EAD): represents what is the user's likely borrowing at the time of default.
Ill. Loss Given Default (LGD): represents expected losses on EAD given the event of default.
Each financial guarantee contract is classified into (a) Stage 1, (b) Stage 2 and (c) Stage 3 (Default or Credit Impaired). Delinquency buckets have been considered as the basis for the staging of all
credit exposure under the guarantee contract in the following manner:
Amount is greater than 30 days past due or there has been a Lifetime ECL - not credit
Stage 2
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition impaired
Considering the creditworthiness of entities within the group in respect of which financial guarantees have been given to banks, the management believes that the group entities have a low risk of
default and do not have any amounts past due. Accordingly, no allowance for expected credit loss needs to be recognised as at respective period-ends.
b Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The
Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are fallen due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet
obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under
committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected future cash flows.
This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits set by the group. These limits vary by location to take into account requirement, future cash flow and the liquidity in which the
entity operates. In addition, the Company's liquidity management strategy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these,
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
Financing Arrangement
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

These are the Company 's first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing the special purpose financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2024, for the year ended March 31, 2023 and for the year ended March 31, 2022 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS
Balance Sheet at April 1, 2021 (the Company's date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet, the Company has
adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian
GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company's financial position, financial
performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
Leases
The Company has not availed itself of exemption to assess whether a contract of arrangement contains a lease at the date of transition
and instead has assessed all the arrangements for embedded leases based on the conditions in place at the inception of the contract or
arrangement.
B. Ind AS mandatory exemptions
Estimates
An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same
date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective
evidence that those estimates were in error.
De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on
or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind
AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets
and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those
transactions. The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to
Ind AS.
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the facts
and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 from April 1, 2021. On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised lease
liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ or 'finance leases' under the
previous GAAP. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using
the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of April 1, 2021 with a corresponding debit to right-of-use assets, after
adjusting amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised.
Under previous GAAP, rent paid for operating leases is shown as an expense. However, under Ind AS, interest is accrued
on lease liabilities and rent paid is shown as deduction to lease liabilities and depreciation is charged on right-of-use assets
over the lease period. As a result of this change, the total equity decreased by ₹ 5.02 millions as at March 31, 2024 and
decreased by ₹ 1.91 millions and ₹ 0.22 millions as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively.
3 Security deposit
Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease
term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value.
Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS 109. Difference between the fair value and
transaction value of the security deposit has been recognised as prepaid rent/or as right-of-use asset as per Ind AS 116.
5 Finance guarantee
The group companies have provided corporate guarantee to banks for loans obtained by the company. Under the previous
GAAP, no accounting treatment has been made. However, under Ind AS, financial guarantee contracts are financial
liabilities measured at fair value on initial recognition. Subsequently, guarantee commission expenses is recognised in the
Restated Statement of Profit and Loss, over the tenure of the loan/ approved facility for which guarantee is provided. As a
result of this change, the total equity decreased by ₹ 5.69 millions , ₹ 4.02 millions and ₹ 3.30 millions as at March 31,
2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively.
The Company has provided corporate guarantee to banks for loans obtained by the group companies. Under the previous
GAAP, such corporate guarantee was disclosed as contingent liabilities in the financial statements of issuer of such
corporate guarantee. However, under Ind AS, financial guarantee contracts are financial assets measured at fair value on
initial recognition. Subsequently, guarantee commission income is recognised in the Restated Statement of Profit and
Loss, over the tenure of the loan/ approved facility for which guarantee is provided. As a result of this change, the total
equity increased by ₹ 12.51 millions ,₹ 9.41 millions and ₹ 4.67 millions as at March 31, 2024 , March 31, 2023 and
March 31, 2022 respectively.

costs to be incurred on replacement / repair in the subsequent year. Accordingly, the Company has recognised warrantee
provision, thereby decreasing total equity by ₹ 3.65 millions ,₹ 2.41 millions and ₹ 1.42 millions as at March 31, 2024,
March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively.

9 Deferred Tax
Under the previous GAAP, deferred tax is calculated using the income statement approach, which focuses on difference
between taxable profits and accounting profits for the year. Ind AS 12 “Income tax” requires entities to account for
deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of
an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.
Based on this approach, additional deferred tax has been recognised by the Company on all Ind AS adjustments as some
would create temporary difference between books and tax accounts.
10 Other equity
Retained earnings as at March 31, 2022 , March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 has been adjusted consequent to the
aforesaid Ind AS transition adjustments.

2,156 tonnes of epoxidized soyabean oil production, 6,000 tonnes of sheet extrusion and 10,296 tonnes of magnet powder. For
further details, see “- Our Manufacturing – Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 226.
In line with our focus to provide end-to-end product solutions and to develop better control on our supply chain and improve our
margins, we have undertaken several backward integration initiatives over the years and have taken various in-house steps.
Pursuant to the backward integration, we have strengthened number of our key production areas as set forth below:
Soft profile extrusion/gasket production: Our soft profile extrusion/gasket production for refrigeration sealing solutions have
been significantly backward integrated with in-house compounding, extrusion, tooling/machinery, magnetic strip, ferrite
powder and plasticizer manufacturing facilities, with an annual available installed capacity of 9,13,53,600 meters as on June
30, 2024.
In-house PVC Compound Production: We have inhouse production of PVC compound, with an annual available installed
capacity of 12,532 tonnes as on June 30, 2024. Our PVC compound capacity ensures quality control and cost efficiency.
In-house production of Plasticizer: We have in-house production of plasticizer (Epoxidized Soyabean Oil or “ESBO”), with
an annual available installed capacity of 2,156 tonnes as on June 30, 2024. Almost all of the ESBO we produce is for captive
consumption for production of PVC compounds.
In-house Machinery Assembly: We have in-house customized machine assembly facility for extrusion, sealing, magnetic
strip inserting (into gaskets), and tooling which enhances operational precision and saves capital expenditure and cost.
Magnet Powder and Strip Production: We have backward integration of magnet powder and magnetic strip production
which are used in our gasket assemblies and automotive products, with an annual available installed capacity of 10,296
tonnes of magnet powder and 6,36,48,000 meters of magnetic strips as on June 30, 2024.
Our Company is led by our Individual Promoters: Bina Jain, Rajeev Jain and Nitin Jain. Our Managing Director, Rajeev Jain
has more than 25 years of industry experience. They are supported by an experienced and professional management team led by
the CEO, Avanish Singh Visen, who has more than 20 years of industry experience, our Chief Financial Officer, Deepak Garg,
Sudhir Kumar (Head of Operations), Abhijit R Mirajkar (Head of Research and Development) and Vineet Rai (Deputy General
Manager – Sales and Marketing) along with a workforce of 580permanent employees as of November 30, 2024. We believe that
the collective experience and capabilities of our Promoters and management team and strong workforce enable us to understand
and anticipate market trends and manage our business operations and growth. For additional details, see “Our Management” on
page 244.
For details in relation to our business, please see the section “Our Business” on page 205.
We believe that the following factors have significantly affected our results of operations and financial condition during the
period under review, and may continue to affect our results of operations and financial condition in the future.
Our business is predominantly conducted on a business-to-business with original equipment manufacturers and other commercial
and industrial customers in India. We sell our products to our customers directly through our sales and marketing team. As of
November 30, 2024 and in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 or Fiscal 2022, we sold products to 46 customers, 47 customers, 45 customers
and 45 customers, respectively. As our key customers typically have specific requirements we believe that our continued
relationships with these customers plays a significant role in determining our continued success and results of operations. The
table below sets forth our revenue from operations from our largest customer, top 5 customers and top 10 customers and their
contribution to our revenue from operations for the periods indicated:

Customers
Our relationships with these customers have thus been gradually strengthened by proving our reliability and quality through
initially fulfilling their components requirement and eventually becoming a one stop solution provider to them. The demand for
our products from our customers has a significant impact on our results of operations and financial condition and our sales are
particularly affected by the inventory and sales levels of our key customers. In the event that we lose one or more of our key
customers or if the amount of business we receive from them is reduced for any reason or they commence production of
components in India, our cash flows and results of operations may be affected. Our contracts and supply arrangements with key
customers also contain certain standards and performance obligations and our failure to meet such specifications could result in
a reduction of business from them, termination of contracts or additional costs and penalties, all of which may adversely impact
our results of operations and financial condition.
Our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by the availability and cost of our key raw materials
and inputs, particularly virgin Polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) resin, refined soya bean oil, hydrogen peroxide, chlorinated
polyethylene (“CPE”), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”), high-impact polystyrene (“HIPS”), iron oxide, barium
carbonate, strontium carbonate and clear float glass and glass printing inks, as this constitutes our largest expense. The table
below sets forth our cost of materials and our cost of materials as a percentage of total expenses for periods indicated:
We need to maintain sufficient inventory levels to meet customer expectations at all times. Inaccurate forecasting of demand or
inefficiencies in managing inventory levels could lead to overproduction or stockpiling of obsolete components, which could
result in increased storage costs or write-offs, negatively impacting profitability. Likewise, failure to have adequate inventory in
stock to fulfil customer orders could result in inability to meet customer demand or loss of customers, leading to possible loss of
future revenue.

* The figures for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are not annualized.
If we are unable to accurately predict sourcing levels or customer trends or if our expectations about customer demands and
needs are inaccurate, we may have to take unanticipated markdowns or impairment charges to dispose of the excess or obsolete
inventory, which can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may be
required to maintain high inventory levels if we anticipate increases in customer demand for our products, which in turn would
require a significant amount of working capital.
Our results of operations are directly affected by our sales volume, which in turn is a function of several factors, including levels
of utilisation of our manufacturing facilities. We have five of our ten manufacturing facilities concentrated in Greater Noida in
the NCR and we have two in manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra and one in each of Gujarat, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Over
the years, we have grown our manufacturing capabilities and we will continue to look to add capacity in a phased manner to
ensure that we utilize our capacity at optimal levels. Our business is dependent upon our ability to manage our manufacturing
facilities and run them at certain utilization levels, which are subject to various operating risks, including those beyond our
361
control, such as the breakdown and failure of equipment, industrial accidents, labour disputes or shortage of labour, severe
weather conditions and natural disasters. In addition, we also may face protests from local citizens at our existing facilities or
while setting up new facilities, which may delay or halt our operations. Further, we may be subject to manufacturing disruptions
due to contraventions by us of any of the conditions of our regulatory approvals.
Our manufacturing facilities and our operations are susceptible to local and regional factors, such as economic and weather
conditions, natural disasters, political, demographic and population changes, adverse regulatory developments, civil unrest and
other unforeseen events and circumstances. Such disruptions could result in the damage or destruction of one or more of our
manufacturing capabilities, significant delays in shipments of our products and/or otherwise materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations. The occurrence of any of these events could require us to incur significant
capital expenditure or change our business structure or strategy, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, future cash flows and financial condition.
Changes in technology
We operate in an industry which is characterised by technological changes. Our ability to stay abreast of such changes, ensure
that our R&D efforts provide commercially viable and marketable solutions to our customers and ensure that our manufacturing
facilities are capable of producing technologically advanced products plays a significant role in determining the attractiveness
of our offering to customers. Our research and development and product development department focuses on product designing,
die and mould designing and prototype designing. Our future success will depend substantially on our ability to respond to new
technologies or changes in customer preferences and specifications, as well as our customers’ ability to predict and develop new
products that meet the end consumers’ requirements and needs.
Our in-house R&D department has the capabilities to verify and develop OEM designs received from customers and convert
such designs into deliverable component products by improving the designs, recommending suitable raw materials and testing
of trial products. Innovation and applied engineering continue to be the key determinant for our success. The development and
commercialisation of our products are complex, time-consuming, costly and involve a high degree of business risk. We may
encounter unexpected delays in the development of new products and these new products may not perform as we expect.
The success of our products will depend on several factors, including our ability to engineer them to the high standards
requirement by regulators, certifying agencies and our customers, to properly anticipate customer needs; to obtain timely
regulatory approvals; to establish collaborations with suppliers and customers; to develop and manufacture our products in a
timely and cost-effective manner through our product development efforts; and to market and sell our products successfully. In
addition, the development and commercialisation of our products are characterised by significant upfront costs, including costs
associated with product development activities, obtaining regulatory approvals and certifications and building manufacturing
processes. If we do not successfully develop new products in a timely, cost-effective manner that is attractive to our customers,
our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Competition
We operate in a competitive industry. Electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) companies are steadily shifting towards OEM
models, giving full turnkey solutions for items from design, product development to reverse logistics. Also, due to increased
competition, EMS companies are striving to diversify their product offerings. Although the consumer appliance component
industry provides for significant entry barriers, competition in our business is based on pricing, relationships with customers
particularly with OEMs, product quality, and compliance with government regulation including environmental regulation. (F&S
Report, dated December 27, 2024). We face pricing pressures from national, regional and local companies that are able to
produce components and tempered / toughened glass at competitive costs and consequently, may supply their products at cheaper
prices. We are unable to assure you that we shall be able to meet the pricing pressures imposed by such competitors which would
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, some of our competitors may have greater financial, research and technological resources, larger sales and
marketing teams and more established reputations. They may also be in a better position to identify market trends, adapt to
changes in the Indian consumer appliance industries, innovate with new products, offer competitive prices due to economies of
scale and ensure product quality and compliance. Further, our competitors may enter into contract manufacturing arrangements
with our customers for products that they are currently purchasing from us that could result in the loss of such customer or loss
of revenue from such customer. For further details regarding our industry peers, see “Industry Overview – Competitive
Landscape” beginning on page 140.
The Restated Financial Information have been prepared on a historical cost basis except certain items that are measured at fair
value as explained in accounting policies.
362
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another
valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of
the asset or liability, if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the
measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a
basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116 – Leases, and measurements that have some
similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 – Inventories or value in use in Ind AS 36
– Impairment of Assets.
These financial statements are presented in Indian National Rupee (‘₹’), which is the Company’s functional currency. All
amounts have been rounded to the nearest Millions (₹ 000,000), except when otherwise indicated.
In the preparation of Restated Financial information, the Company makes judgements in the application of accounting policies;
and estimates and assumptions which affects carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.
Key source of estimation of uncertainty at the date of financial statements, which may cause material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of impairment, useful lives of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, provisions and contingent liabilities, fair value measurements
of financial instruments and retirement benefit obligations as disclosed below:
Impairment
The Company estimates the value in use of the cash generating unit (CGU) based on future cash flows after considering current
economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results and growth rates and anticipated future economic and
regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value.
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.
This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortisation expense in future periods.
The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.
The Company generally offers 12 months warranty for its products. Warranty costs are determined as a percentage of sales based
on the past trends of the costs required to be incurred for repairs, replacements, material costs and servicing cost. Management
estimates the related closing provision as at Balance Sheet date for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim
information, as well as recent trends that might suggest that past information may differ from future claims. The assumptions
made in current period are consistent with those in the prior year. As the time value of money is not considered to be material,
warranty provisions are not discounted.
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that the outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at
363
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in financial
statements.
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted
prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including Discounted Cash Flow Model. The
inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement
is required in establishing fair value. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risks, credit risks and
volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
The Company’s retirement benefit obligations are subject to number of assumptions including discount rates, inflation and salary
growth. Significant assumptions are required when setting these criteria and a change in these assumptions would have a
significant impact on the amount recorded in the Company’s balance sheet and the statement of profit and loss. The Company
sets these assumptions based on previous experience and third party actuarial advice.
Classification of Leases
The Company enters into leasing arrangements for various assets. The classification of the leasing arrangement as a finance lease
or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset
at end of lease term, lessee’s option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to
the asset’s economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of
specialized nature of the leased asset.
The material accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of the Restated Financial information are listed
below. Such accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in this Restated Financial information,
unless otherwise indicated.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current
assets and non-current liabilities respectively.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of the assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash
equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for their intended use at the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities
date are disclosed as capital work in progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, outstanding at each Restated Statement of Assets
and Liabilities date are disclosed as 'capital advances' under 'other non current assets'.
Where a significant component (in terms of cost) of an asset has an economic useful life shorter than that of it’s
corresponding asset, the component is depreciated over it’s shorter life.
Depreciation is provided on straight line method over the estimated useful life of fixed assets as per the useful life prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on addition to property, plant and equipment is
provided on pro-rata basis from the date the assets are ready for intended use. Depreciation on sale / deletion of property,
plant and equipment is provided for up to the date of sale, deduction or discard of property, plant and equipment as the case
may be. In case of impairment, if any, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining
useful life.
Leasehold improvements are being amortised over the duration of the lease, or estimated useful life of the assets, whichever
is lower.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, as appropriate.
Transition to Ind AS
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property plant and equipment recognised on the date
of transition, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and
equipment.
c) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated amortisation and impairment, if any.
Intangible assets purchased are measured at cost as at the date of acquisition, as applicable, less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment, if any. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of
factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the
industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected
future cash flows from the asset.
d) Investment properties
Investment Property is property (comprising land or building or both) held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation
or both, but not for sale in ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for
administrative purposes. Investment properties are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation
and impairment, if any.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing
costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs
in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an
adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of the assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in
the Restated Statement of Profit and Loss account in the year in which they are incurred.
h) Inventories
Raw materials, stock in trade and stores and spares - Lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a
weighted average basis. Materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below
costs, if finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
Work-in-progress and finished goods - Lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour and
a proportion of manufacturing overheads.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and
to make the sale. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of finished goods or providing services
are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or
above cost. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on item by item basis.
i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) received or receivable when control
of the goods is transferred to the customer and there are no unfulfilled performance obligations as per the contract with the
366
customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions
of contract with the customer. This is achieved when;
effective control of goods along with significant risks and rewards of ownership has been transferred to customer;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue represents net value of goods and services provided to customers after deducting for certain incentives including,
but not limited to discounts, volume rebates, etc. For incentives offered to customers, the Company makes estimates related
customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts earned and to be recorded as deductions. The
estimate is made in such a manner, which ensures that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The actual amounts may differ from these estimates and are accounted for
prospectively.
The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the related products and
the customer payments for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of revenue. In certain customer
contracts, shipping and handling services are treated as a distinct separate performance obligation and the Company
recognizes revenue for such services when the performance obligation is completed.
Revenue are net of Goods and Service Tax. No element of significant financing is deemed present as the sales are made
with a credit term, which is consistent with market practice.
Revenue (other than sale) is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Export incentives are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the
Company will comply with the conditions and the incentives will be received.
Export entitlements in the form of duty drawback, Merchandise Export Incentive Scheme and other schemes are recognized
in the statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of
exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal
outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Contract assets
Contract asset is right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer and performance
obligation satisfied. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays
consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Upon
completion of the attached condition and acceptance by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets is
reclassified to trade receivables upon invoicing. A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration
that is unconditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received
consideration from the customer. If customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the
customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when
the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Trade receivables
A trade receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required
before payment of the consideration is due).
j) Foreign currencies
The Company’s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also its functional currency.
367
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rate of
exchange at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary
items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item
(i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in statement of profit or loss are also
recognised in OCI or statement of profit or loss, respectively).
k) Income Taxes
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted in India, at the
reporting date.
Current tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit or loss is recognised outside statement of profit or loss
(either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where
appropriate.
Current tax assets is offset against current tax liabilities if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off the
recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any
unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all the taxable temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
l) Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the service rendered by
employees are recognised during the period when the employee renders the services.
368
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other
than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund
scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
Company’s contribution to state defined contribution plans namely Employee State Insurance is made in accordance with
the Statute, and are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contribution.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made to a separately
administered fund. Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method. In respect
of post-retirement benefit re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets, are recognised immediately
in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur.
Re-measurements are not reclassified to statement of profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service cost is recognised as an expense when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs or when any related
restructuring costs or termination benefits are recognised, whichever is earlier.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit.
The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the
unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains/ losses on the compensated absences are
immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
m) Leases
Company as a lessee
The Company assesses if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date, except for short-term leases
of twelve months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, which are expensed in the statement of
operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate
specific to the country, term and currency of the contract. Lease payments can include fixed payments, variable payments
that depend on an index or rate known at the commencement date, as well as any extension or purchase options, if the
Company is reasonably certain to exercise these options. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method and remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset when there is
a change in future lease payments in case of renegotiation, changes of an index or rate or in case of reassessments of options.
The right-of-use asset comprises, at inception, the initial lease liability, any initial direct costs and, when applicable, the
obligations to refurbish the asset, less any incentives granted by the lessors. The right-of-use asset is subsequently
depreciated, on a straight-line basis, over the lease term, if the lease transfers the ownership of the underlying asset to the
Company at the end of the lease term or, if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase
option, over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. other are also subject to testing for impairment if there is an
indicator for impairment. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are expensed to
the statement of operations in the period in which the events or conditions which trigger those payments occur. In the
statement of financial position right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are classified respectively as part of property, plant
and equipment and short-term/long-term debt.

Government grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
as income or deduction from the relevant expense, on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expense is recognised.
o) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash at banks and on hand, cheques on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable
evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.
Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is
recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote,
no liability is recognised.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to the equity shareholders of
the Company and weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and
also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually
issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using
another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the
characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree
to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
370
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices /net asset value (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
company can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
s) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. Chief operating decision maker review the performance of the Company according to the nature of products
manufactured, traded and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different
products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the locations of customers.
t) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is defined as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instruments of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign exchange
forward contracts, embedded derivatives in the host contract, etc.
Initial recognition and measurement - Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instrument (except trade receivables) are measured
initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are
measured initially at fair value. Trade receivables are measured at their transaction price unless it contains a significant
financing component in accordance with Ind AS 115 for pricing adjustments embedded in the contract.
i. Financial assets carried at amortised cost : A financial asset is measured at the amortised cost, if both the following
conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
(EIR) method.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL) : Financial assets, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as FVOCI, are classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets included within the FVTPL
category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
Subsequent measurement [Non-derivative financial liabilities]- Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative
financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade Receivable
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are
initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset,
except trade receivable which are recognised at transaction price as per Ind AS 115, or financial liability is initially measured
at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable
to its acquisition or issue.
Investment in Subsidiary
When an entity prepares separate financial statements, it shall account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and
associates either:
(a) at cost, or
(b) in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Company accounts for its investment in subsidiary at cost.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially
measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of (i) the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit
loss model as per Ind-AS 109 and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income
371
recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined based on
the present value of the difference in cash flows between the contractual payments required under the debt instrument and
the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party
for assuming the obligations.
Trade receivables: In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which
requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses
are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
Other financial assets: In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those financial
assets has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses, else at an
amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the
financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at
the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and
considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of
significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset
has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the
balance sheet date.
De-recognition of financial assets: A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights to receive cash
flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.
Subsequent measurement: Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities: A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is
discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification
is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments: Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in
the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with Ind AS, we consider and use those certain non-GAAP financial
measures and key performance indicators that are presented below as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating
performance. Our management does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators in
isolation or as an alternative to the Restated Financial Information. We present these non-GAAP financial measures and key
performance indicators because we believe they are useful to our Company in assessing and evaluating our operating
performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures and key
372
performance indicators, when taken collectively with the Restated Financial Information, prepared in accordance with Ind AS,
may be helpful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate our ongoing operating results and trends and to compare our financial
results to prior periods.
Non-GAAP financial information are not recognized under Ind AS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by Ind
AS. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators used by us may differ from similarly titled non-
GAAP measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude
significant expenses and income that are required by Ind AS to be recorded in our financial statements, as further detailed below.
In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses
and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for
each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the related Ind AS financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
to their most directly comparable Ind AS financial measures included below and to not rely on any single financial measure to
evaluate our business. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP metrics differently from the way we calculate these metrics.
See “Risk Factors – We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain Non-GAAP Measures that may vary from
any standard methodology that is applicable across the consumer appliance component industry and may not be comparable
with financial information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.” on page 60.

disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk
a. Credit Risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and
from its financing / investing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual fund investments and foreign exchange
transactions. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Trade receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the
industry.
The Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness
before the Company's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes market
check, industry feedback, past financials and external ratings, if they are available.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other
receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade
receivables. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are reviewed according to their credit characteristics, including
whether they are an individual or a legal entity, their geographic location, industry and existence of previous financial difficulties.
The ageing analysis of the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.

wherever necessary based on its internal assessment.
Others

significant credit risk.
386
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to
ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are fallen due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due
to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability
under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) and
cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected future cash flows. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice
and limits set by the group. These limits vary by location to take into account requirement, future cash flow and the liquidity in
which the entity operates. In addition, the Company's liquidity management strategy involves projecting cash flows in major
currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against
internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk, such as commodity price
risk and equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include trade payables, trade receivables, borrowings,
etc.
"The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the
USD . Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a
currency that is not the Company's functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable
foreign currency cash flows. The objective of the hedges is to minimise the volatility of the rupee cash flows of highly
probable forecast transactions by hedging the foreign exchange inflows on regular basis. The Company also take help from
external consultants for views on the currency rates in volatile foreign exchange markets.
The Company does not enter into trade financial instruments including derivative financial instruments for hedging its foreign
currency risk.
In respect of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company's policy is to ensure that its net exposure is
kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.
The summary of quantitative data about the Company's exposure (Unhedged) to currency risk as reported to the management of
the Company is as follows :

The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to debts. To protect itself from the
volatility prevailing, the Company maintain its long term borrowing on fixed interest rate through derivative instruments for
borrowings in foreign currency, in which it agrees to exchange at specific intervals, the difference between fixed and variable
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount.

For details regarding the track record of the BRLMs, as specified in Circular reference CIR/MIRSD/1/2012 dated January 10,
2012, issued by SEBI, please see the website of the BRLMs as set forth in the table below:
As the Offer is the initial public offering of the Equity Shares, the Equity Shares are not listed on any stock exchange as on the
date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, and accordingly, no stock market data is available for the Equity Shares.
The Registrar Agreement provides for retention of records with the Registrar to the Offer for a minimum period of eight years
from the last date of dispatch of the letters of allotment and demat credit to enable the investors to approach the Registrar to the
Offer for redressal of their grievances.
SEBI, by way of its circular dated March 16, 2021 (“March 2021 Circular”), has identified the need to put in place measures,
in order to manage and handle investor issues arising out of the UPI Mechanism inter alia in relation to delay in receipt of
mandates by Bidders for blocking of funds due to systemic issues faced by Designated Intermediaries/SCSBs and failure to
unblock funds in cases of partial allotment/non allotment within prescribed timelines and procedures. Per the March 2021
Circular, for initial public offerings opening for subscription on or after May 1, 2021, SEBI has prescribed certain mechanisms
to ensure proper management of investor issues arising out of the UPI Mechanism, including (i) identification of a nodal officer
by SCSBs for the UPI Mechanism; (ii) delivery of SMS alerts by SCSBs for blocking and unblocking of UPI Mandate Requests;
(iii) hosting of a web portal by the Sponsor Bank containing statistical details of mandate blocks/unblocks; (iv) limiting the
facility of reinitiating UPI Bids to Syndicate Members to once per Bid; and (v) mandating SCSBs to ensure that the unblock
process for non-allotted/partially allotted applications is completed by the closing hours of one Working Day subsequent to the
finalization of the Basis of Allotment.
Separately, pursuant to the March 2021 Circular, the following compensation mechanism shall be applicable for investor
grievances in relation to Bids made through the UPI Mechanism for public issues opening on or after May 1, 2021, for which
the relevant SCSBs shall be liable to compensate the investor:
Further, in the event there are any delays in resolving the investor grievance beyond the date of receipt of the complaint from the
investor, for each day delayed, the post-Offer BRLMs shall be liable to compensate the investor ₹100 per day or 15% per annum
of the Bid Amount, whichever is higher. The compensation shall be payable for the period ranging from the day on which the
investor grievance is received till the date of actual unblock.
The agreement between the Registrar to the Offer, our Company and the Promoter Selling Shareholders provide for retention of
records with the Registrar to the Offer for a period of at least eight years from the last date of dispatch of the letters of allotment
and demat credit to enable the investors to approach the Registrar to the Offer for redressal of their grievances.
Bidders can contact the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer and/or the Registrar to the Offer in case of any pre-
Offer or post-Offer related problems such as non-receipt of letters of Allotment, non-credit of Allotted Equity Shares in
the respective beneficiary account, non-receipt of refund orders or non-receipt of funds by electronic mode, etc. For all
Offer related queries and for redressal of complaints, Bidders may also write to the BRLMs or the Registrar to the Offer,
in the manner provided below.

three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and
smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced the UPI Mechanism in three phases in the
following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019, until March 31, 2019, or floating of five main board public issues,
whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019. Under this phase,

of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019, and was to initially continue for a period of three months or
floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133

(other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for blocking of funds has been discontinued and replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the
time duration from public issue closure to listing continues to be six Working Days during this phase.

of investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the post – Offer BRLMs will be required to compensate the concerned
investor.

RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA.
While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in
different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the
Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to
any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making
such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.

which are not listed in the FDI Policy is permitted up to 100% of the paid-up share capital of such company under the automatic

ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial
ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require
approval of the Government of India. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the
Offer. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder
shall intimate our Company and the Registrar in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.
