Material risks this quarter
Concise cards keep the risk register scannable while preserving evidence-level context in the underlying quarter data.
Risks
ENA price erosion due to oversupply
ENA realizations have fallen to ₹59-60/liter from ~₹70 earlier, as many ethanol producers divert capacity to ENA. Margins are under pressure despite lower maize costs.
