Working Capital and Cash Flow Conversion
Despite ₹582 crore cumulative EBITDA over five years, operating cash flow has been negative at ₹93 crore due to high working capital intensity (140-160 days). Management targets improvement by FY28-29 but no specific commitment.
Electrolyte Export Shelf Life Constraints
Analyst raised concern about liquid electrolyte's limited shelf life affecting export logistics. Management clarified electrolytes are for local market only; exports limited to stable components (salts, additives, solvents).
Technology Partner Dependency for Domestic Gigafactories
Some Indian cell manufacturers with Chinese technology partners may face pressure to use Chinese formulations initially. Management is working with 5 of 6 gigafactories but faces 3-6 month qualification period before customer switching.
