Risk intelligence
Material risks this quarter
high
Working capital strain from high inventory
Inventory value rose to ₹4,602 Cr (from ₹2,963 Cr), funded by borrowings; elevated gold prices increase working capital needs and interest costs.
Hedging policy opacity and margin call risk
Management declined to disclose detailed hedging strategies; recent gold price swings caused margin calls, and low hedging (55-60%) exposes balance sheet to price drops.
Realization gain dependency on gold price rise
2-2.5% of EBITDA margin in 9M came from realization gains; if gold prices stabilize or fall, margins could revert to 7.5-7.8% guidance.
