Metal prices increased in Q4 FY26, creating margin pressure. Management acknowledges this is a sector-wide challenge and is addressing through advance raw material booking and price pass-through mechanisms.
USD 3.5 million export order originally expected in Q4 was delayed to Q1 FY27 due to client readiness and port clearance challenges. Export growth targets for FY27 depend on execution of deferred orders.
Significant hiring of employees for future growth created near-term margin pressure. Management frames this as investment but carries execution risk if revenue ramp doesn't materialize as planned.
Inventory doubled from FY25 to FY26 to ₹438 crore. Though management attributes this to project execution and export readiness, receivables also increased, raising cash conversion concerns.
