Risks carried through the record.

Prolonged Retail Business Losses
New retail brands Zcode and DEO are operating at losses that drag EBITDA margins by ~150bps. Store-level unit economics not yet disclosed; payback period remains uncertain.
Margin Pressure from Input Costs
One-time labor code implementation added Rs 10-12 crore in costs. Processing and labor charges run at 14-15% of net sales. Elevated working capital tied up in inventory buildup may continue compressing margins.
