Risk intelligence
Management explicitly confirmed no hedging is being taken against commodity price risk. Steel, copper, and aluminium prices rose due to geopolitical tensions, causing ~₹36 crore EBITDA impact in Q1. Raw material prices may remain elevated or decline gradually; no structured hedge in place.
Analyst repeatedly pressed management on timing; responses were vague ('next week', 'within the month', 'big orders coming'). No firm PO/sanction timeline confirmed. Execution visibility beyond the current ₹1,000 crore order book is limited for H2 FY27.
Analyst raised concern about price-led competition where competitors offering lower rates have been operating at losses. While management believes competitors face higher raw material costs, the rate-contract bidding model means pricing discipline could deteriorate further, compressing sector-wide margins.
Total receivables of ~₹760 crore (~₹560 crore at 80 days + ₹450 crore retention) tied up in B2G business. While Maharashtra payments have resumed, sequential delays in other states could pressure cash flow, especially as capex intensity increases in FY27.
