Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
high
State government payment delays
Delayed fund releases from key states led to a buildup of receivables (₹217 crore, 85-90% from subsidy business), pressuring cash flows.
Below-normal monsoon impact
Predicted below-normal monsoon (90-92% of LPA) could affect demand in H2 FY27, though groundwater availability may offset.
Inability to pass on cost increases in subsidy business
Price increases in the subsidy segment require government approval, which is uncertain and may lag raw material cost changes.
