Concise cards keep the risk register scannable while preserving evidence-level context in the underlying quarter data.
Risks
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.
