Strengths & risks

The case for and against, from the DRHP's own numbers and risk factors.

Strengths · 6

  • 01The company supplied to more than 50 customers between 1 April 2022 and 30 June 2025, including all the top nine tractor OEMs in India.
  • 02EBITDA margin rose from 12.53% in FY2023 to 18.16% in FY2025, while revenue from operations went from Rs 612.94 crore to Rs 530.17 crore.
  • 03Restated profit after tax grew from Rs 14.07 crore in FY2023 to Rs 22.06 crore in FY2025, and return on net worth was 17.47% in FY2025.
  • 04Operating cash flow was Rs 79.98 crore in FY2024 and Rs 32.08 crore in FY2025, positive in every period shown.
  • 05Nine manufacturing facilities make bull gears, rear axles, spindles and shafts, with FY2025 capacity utilisation between 76.53% and 88.66% for the main products.
  • 06The tractor sector is forecast by the industry report to grow at 10.5% a year from Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2030, and EV sales at 56.0%.

Risks · 10

  • 01The top 10 customers gave 94.43% of revenue from sale of products in FY2025, and there are no agreements binding customers to place orders.

  • 03Tractors gave 82.70% of sale of products in FY2025, so a slowdown in that sector would hit the company directly.
  • 04Revenue from operations fell from Rs 612.94 crore in FY2023 to Rs 530.17 crore in FY2025, even as profit rose.
  • 05Other income jumped from Rs 2.67 crore in FY2024 to Rs 16.72 crore in FY2025, which helped FY2025 profit.
  • 06Total borrowings were Rs 382.58 crore on 30 June 2025 against a net worth of Rs 135.57 crore. Net debt to equity was 3.10 times.
  • 07Operating cash flow of Rs 32.08 crore in FY2025 was much lower than EBITDA of Rs 96.31 crore. The cash conversion cycle was 223 days.
  • 08The top three suppliers gave 83.51% of raw material purchases in FY2025, with no long-term supply contracts, and raw materials were 48.15% of total expenses.
  • 09Of the Rs 1,100 crore offer, Rs 300 crore is an offer for sale by promoters and others, and general corporate purposes is not yet specified.
  • 10Promoters have given personal guarantees for part of the company's loans, and the contingent liabilities were Rs 6.72 crore on 30 June 2025.
