that describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties, expectations and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. All statements in this Prospectus that are not
statements of historical fact are ‘forward-looking statements’. These forward-looking statements are based on our present
plans, estimates and expectations.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements due to risks or uncertainties
associated with expectations relating to and including, inter alia, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries in India
in which we operate and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth
and expansion plans, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in
India which have an impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation,
deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the
performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes, changes in
the incidence of any natural calamities and/or violence and changes in competition in the industries in which we operate.
For the reasons described below, we cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements will prove to be correct. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance. Other important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Changes in laws and regulations relating to the sectors/areas in which we operate;
• Inability to identify the new premises may adversely affect the operations, finances and profitability of the Company;
• General economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate and in the local, regional, national and
international economies;

• Our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy and expansion plans, and to successfully launch and
implement various projects;
• Volatility of loan interest rates and inflation;
• Our failure to keep pace with rapid changes in technology;
• Our ability to meet our further capital expenditure requirements;
• Fluctuations in operating costs;

“Industry Overview” , “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” on pages 29, 113, 119 and 179 respectively of this Prospectus. By their nature, certain market risk
disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual
gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated.
There can be no assurance to the Bidders that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove
to be correct. Given these uncertainties, the Bidders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect current views as of the date of this Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future
performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on
currently available information. Although, we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are
19based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based
on these assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our Company, our Directors, the BRLM, the Syndicate nor any of their
respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to
fruition.

informed of material developments until the time of the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchange.
20SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE DOCUMENT
This section is a general summary of the terms of the Issue and of certain disclosures included in this Prospectus and is

Primary Business of the Company
We are primarily an infrastructure services company engaged in the business of providing engineering, procurement and
construction (“EPC”) industrial infrastructure services and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services to our PAN
India customers especially in the Oil & Gas sector. Headquartered at Agartala-Tripura, we commenced our business
operations as a project management consultancy company. Over the last decade, we have expanded and diversified our
business services to EPC, O&M and other infrastructure services and constantly improved our business processes.
Our Company focuses on upstream, midstream and downstream facility development activities in Oil and Gas sector,
such as in processing plant, pipeline laying, horizontal directional drilling, terminal station, City Gas Distribution (CGS)
work, O&M of PNG/PNG services and in other related EPC projects. We also provide O&M services for captive power
plants.
Summary of Industry
Global oil demand in 2025 is expected to grow by 1.3 mb/d, y-o-y, unchanged from last month’s assessment. Some minor
adjustments were made in 1Q25, mainly due to the receipt of actual data. In the OECD, oil demand is expected to expand
by about 0.1 mb/d, while non-OECD demand is forecast to increase by about 1.2 mb/d in 2025. In 2026, world oil demand
is projected to rise by 1.3 mb/d, y-o-y, also unchanged from last month’s assessment. The OECD is anticipated to grow
by around 0.1 mb/d, y-o-y, in 2026, while demand in the non-OECD is expected to increase by about 1.2 mb/d, y-o-y.
India holds a significant position in the global oil and gas industry due to its large and growing energy market. The EPC
market for oil and gas in India has witnessed a growth rate of 10% CAGR over the past five years, driven by a) India’s
pipeline network has expanded significantly, with projects such as the Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline
(JHBDPL) and North East Gas Grid gaining traction. b) The government’s ambitious target of establishing CGD networks
in over 400 districts has catalyzed demand for EPC services. C) Major refinery upgrades and capacity additions, including
the Ratnagiri Refinery and Petrochemicals project, have bolstered EPC opportunities.

29SECTION II: RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this
Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. The
risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks that we currently face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our
business. If any or a combination of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed
immaterial, actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could suffer, the price
of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Furthermore, some events may be
material collectively rather than individually.
The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk
factors mentioned below. However, there are risks where the effect is not quantifiable and hence have not been disclosed

making an investment decision, prospective investors should rely on their own examination of us and the terms of the
Issue, including the merits and risks involved. You should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the
consequences to you of an investment in our Equity Shares. Potential investors should pay particular attention to the fact
that our Company is incorporated under the laws of India and is subject to legal and regulatory environment which may
differ in certain respects from that of other countries.
This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements, which refer to future events that involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause the actual results to be
materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Unless the context requires otherwise, the financial information used in this section is derived from our Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements on page 174. Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year, and references to a
particular fiscal are to the twelve months ended March 31 of that year.
Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information used in this section has been derived from the Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements.

We cannot assure you that legal proceedings will be settled in our favour or at all, or that no additional liability will
arise out of these proceedings. Further, such proceedings could divert our management's time and attention and
consume financial resources in their defense or prosecution. Further, an adverse outcome in any of these proceedings
may affect our reputation, standing with customers and future business, and could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
2. Our Company has experienced negative cash flows in the past. We cannot assure you that we will achieve or
sustain profitability and not continue to incur losses going forward.
On consolidated basis, we have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in the past. The details
are set forth in the table below:
31(Amount in ₹ Lakhs)
Particulars For Fiscals
2025 2024 2023
Cash generated from operating activities (1,607.02) (112.84) 1,193.33
Our negative cash flows from operating activities for period ended March 31, 2025 was mainly attributable to
increase in trade receivables and short term adavances. For Fiscal 2024, the negative cash flows were attributable
to increase in inventories.
Cash flow of a company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations to meet its capital
expenditure, pay dividends, repay loans, meet enhanced working capital requirements and make new investments
without raising finance from external resources. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow, it may adversely
affect our business and financial operations.
We cannot assure you that our operating cash flows will be positive in the future. Negative operating cash flows
over extended periods, or significant negative cash flows in the short term, could materially impact our ability to
operate our business and implement our growth plans. As a result, our cash flows, business, future financial
performance and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For further details, see “Restated
Consolidated Financial Statement” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations – Factors Affecting our Future Results of Operations” on page 174 and page 179 respectively.
3. Our business typically requires significant amounts of working capital and historically, our business growth has
been dependent on high working capital requirements. If we experience insufficient cash flows or are unable to
access suitable financing to meet working capital requirements and loan repayment obligations, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We have faced significant working capital requirements for the Financial Years ended March 31,2025, March 31,
2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Details of our working capital is set out below:
(Amount in ₹ lakhs)
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Working capital 8,121.36 4,125.90 3,267.21
Our business requires a substantial amount of working capital which is based on certain assumptions, and
accordingly, any change in such assumptions will result in changes to our working capital requirements. Working
capital is required for mobilization of resources, including construction materials and labour, and for other work on
projects before payment is received from our customers. Further, since the contracts we bid for typically involve a
lengthy and complex bidding and selection process, it is difficult to predict whether or when a particular contract
will be awarded to us. As a result, we may need to incur expenses in anticipation of contract awards, which may not
eventually materialize, and finance such expenses by incurring additional indebtedness. Our working capital
requirements may increase in the future if we undertake larger or additional projects or projects with a long gestation
period, if payment terms do not include advance payments or if contracts have payment schedules that shift
payments towards the end of a project or otherwise increase our working capital burden. We finance majority of our
working capital requirements through a variety of sources including cash credit facilities, working capital demand
loans, bill discounting and vendor financing.
Further, we cannot assure you that market conditions will allow us to access working capital facilities on terms
which are acceptable to us or of sufficient limits or at all. Our ability to arrange for financing and our cost of
borrowing depend on a number of factors, including general economic and market conditions, credit availability
from financial institutions, the amount and terms of our existing indebtedness, investor confidence, and the
continued success of current projects. In addition, our ability to raise funds is limited by certain restrictions imposed
under applicable laws, including foreign exchange regulations.
32We strive to maintain strong relationships with banks, as well as non-banking financial institutions. However, we
cannot assure you that our relationships with lenders will not change. Additionally, certain banks may perceive EPC
companies as risky borrowers, due to the risks associated with the EPC business. As a result, we may find it difficult
to establish credit relationships with new lenders or obtain additional facilities from our existing lenders or may not
be able to access credit on terms which are comparable to those which are available to companies in other industries.
We make provisions for doubtful debtors/advances and also recognize expenses for expected credit losses on
contract assets and trade receivables, based primarily on ageing and other factors such as special circumstances
relating to specific customers. For further details on provisions made for doubtful debtors/ advances, see the
“Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 174. We cannot assure you that interim and final invoices
and retention monies will be remitted by our customer to us on a timely basis or at all, or that provisions trade in
this regard will be sufficient. Our working capital position is therefore also dependent on the financial position of
our customers. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
4. Our substantial portion of our revenue is dependent on government controlled entities including central and state
government entities. However, delays or a lack of tenders from government entities, along with adverse changes
in government policies, could materially impact our business through contract foreclosures, terminations,
restructurings, or renegotiations, affecting our operations and financial performance.
We enter into contracts primarily with government-controlled entities for providing engineering, procurement and
consultancy services. During the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we generated ₹9,223.36, ₹ 6,060.16 lakhs and ₹
5,078.13 lakhs lakhs from government-controlled entities constituting 90.17%, 77.73 % and 91.06 % respectively,
of our revenue from operations. In the event any one or more these customers cease to release tenders, our business
may be adversely affected.
In the event of an adverse change in budgetary allocations or a downturn in available work for sectors where we
operate resulting from a change in government policies or priorities, our business prospects and our financial
performance may be adversely affected. Contracts with government-controlled entities may be subject to extensive
internal processes, policy changes, government or external budgetary allocation, insufficiency of funds and political
pressure, which may lead to an increase in the time gap between invitation for bids and award of the contract, a
renegotiation of the terms of these contracts after they are awarded, or delays in payments against our invoices.
If a government-controlled entities terminate their agreement with us, we are typically entitled to compensation,
unless the agreement is terminated pursuant to a material breach of contract by us. However, the recovery of such
compensation is typically a time-consuming process and the amount we are paid may not be adequate to recover the
costs already incurred. If we fail to comply with contractual or other requirements or if there are any concerns that
arise out of a technical audit, we may be subject to monetary damages or civil penalties. While there have been no
such instances in the past three Fiscals, any of the foregoing in the future could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
With reference to projects where our bids have been successful, there may be delays in award of the projects and/or
notification of start dates, which may result in us having to retain resources which remain unallocated, thereby
adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
While our Company to plans to maintain and diversify client base, there can be no assurance that the Company
would be able to effectively implement its strategy. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Our
Business- Continue to develop Client relationship and expand our client base” starting from page 119 of this RHP.
Any adverse changes in the Gol or state government policies may lead to our contracts being foreclosed or
terminated. In addition, we may be restricted in our ability to, among other things to, contract with certain customers
or assign our rights or obligations under our contracts to any person. These restrictions may limit our flexibility in
operating our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition. Any withdrawal of support or adverse changes in their policies may lead to our
agreements being restructured or renegotiated and could, though not monetarily quantifiable at this time, materially
33and adversely affect our financing, capital expenditure, revenues, development or operations relating to our existing
projects as well as our ability to participate in competitive bidding or negotiations for our future projects. This in
turn could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
5. We have Order Book of approximately ₹ 45,299.61 lakhs as on April 09, 2025. However, our Order Book may
not be representative of our future results, as projects included in our Order Book particularly for the projects
where we are the lowest bidder, may be cancelled, modified, or delayed beyond our control, leading to significant
deviations from estimated income and adversely affecting our business, reputation, financial condition, and
future prospects.
As on April 09, 2025, our Order Book was approximately ₹ 45,299.61 lakhs. The projects in our Order Book are
subject to changes in the scope of undertakings as well as adjustments to the costs relating to the contracts. Our
Order Book represents the estimated contract value of the unexecuted portion of our existing assigned contracts. As
on April 09, 2025, for the purposes of calculating the Order Book value, our Company does not take into account
any escalation of our ongoing projects as of the relevant date, or the work conducted by us in relation to any such
escalation of change in work scope of such projects until such date. The manner in which we calculate and present
our Order Book is therefore not comparable to the manner in which our revenue from operations is accounted, which
takes into account revenue from work executed, revenue relating to escalation or changes in scope of work of our
projects, other income, etc. Project delays, modifications in the scope or cancellations may occur from time, due to
delay in payments by our customers or our own defaults, incidents of force majeure, adverse cash flows, regulatory
delays and other factors beyond our control. In view of the above, projects can remain in Order Book for extended
periods of time because of the nature of the project and the timing of the particular undertakings required by the
project. Our Order Book may be materially impacted if the time taken or amount payable for completion of any
ongoing orders of our Company exceeds the contractual estimate.
Over the years, we have successfully executed more than 30 projects in oil & gas vertical and special projects
vertical with quantifying to approximately ₹ 20,362.74 lakhs.
We cannot guarantee that the income anticipated in our Order Book will be realised or if realised, will be realised
on time or result in profits. The number of orders we have received in the past, our existing Order Book and our
historic growth rate may not be indicative of the number of orders we will receive in the future. While none of our
contracts have been cancelled by our customers during the last three Fiscals, any such instances in the future could
have a material impact on our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that our Company will always receive
applicable termination payments in time, or at all, or that the amount paid will be adequate to enable our Company
to recover its costs in respect of the prematurely cancelled order. In such events, we may have to bear the actual
costs for such production incurred by us, which may exceed the agreed work as a result of which, our future earnings
may be lower from the amount of the Order Book and if any of the foregoing risks materialize, our cash flow
position, revenues and earnings may be adversely affected.
The completion of our orders involves various execution risks including delay or disruption in supply of raw
materials, unanticipated cost increases, force majeure events, time and cost overruns, geo-political issues and
operational hazards and therefore, we may not always be able to execute our projects within the scheduled time. In
the event of any disruptions while executing our projects, due to natural or man-made disasters, workforce
disruptions, fire, explosion, failure of machinery, or any significant social, political or economic disturbances or
civil disruptions in or around the jurisdictions where such projects are located, our ability to execute our projects
may be adversely affected. For instance, the Company is unable to commence one of the projects awarded to it in
the year 2022 due to delay in hand-over to the Company on account of certain title disputes pertaining to the land.
We cannot assure you that our operations will not be affected if any such disruptions occur in future. Project delays,
modifications in the scope or cancellations may occur from time to time, due to delay in payments by our customers
or due to our own defaults on account of delay in delivering the order, incidents of force majeure, cash flows
problems, regulatory delays, need for change in measurements and estimates used by us and any other factors beyond
our control. In view of the above, projects can remain outstanding in the Order Book for extended periods of time
due to the nature of the project and the timing of the services required for completion of such projects. Delays in the
completion of a project for any reason whatsoever can lead to delay in receiving our payments and thereby leading
to variability in revenue.
34Delays in the execution of projects results in the cost overruns and affects our payment milestones, subsequently
impacting our revenue recognition and exposing our business to variability in revenue thereby creating an adverse
impact on our revenue, financial condition and cash flows. We may not be able to maintain and enhance our
production capabilities within scheduled time or implement our production plans effectively at all.
6. The Company is dependent on a few suppliers for purchases of materials. Our Company has not entered intolong-
term agreements with its suppliers for supply of materials. In the event we are unable to procure adequate
amounts of raw materials, at competitive prices our business, results of operations and financial condition may
be adversely affected.
Our top ten suppliers contributed 57.04%, 54.41% and 87.40%of our cost of material consumed for the period /
financial year ended on March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively based on Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements. The table below sets forth the contribution of our top 10 suppliers to our
purchase of raw materials for the period indicated:
(Amount ₹ in lakhs unless otherwise mentioned)
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
% of Cost of % of Cost of % of Cost of
Amount Amount Amount
material consumed material consumed material consumed
Top 1 835.15 16.21 919.02 13.21 815.35 16.10
Top 5 2,219.47 43.08 2,661.77 38.25 2,135.88 42.18
Top 10 2,938.66 57.04 3,786.11 54.41 2,924.56 87.40
We have not entered into long term contracts with our suppliers and prices for raw materials are normally based on
the quotes we receive from various suppliers. Since we have no formal arrangements with our suppliers, they are
not contractually obligated to supply their products to us and may choose to sell their products to our competitors.
Further, any discontinuation of production by these suppliers or a failure of these suppliers to adhere to the delivery
schedule or the required quality and quantity could hamper our own delivery schedules. There can be no assurance
that strong demand, capacity limitations or other problems experienced by our suppliers will not result in occasional
shortages or delays in their supply of raw materials to us. Further, we cannot assure you that our suppliers will
continue to be associated with us on reasonable terms, or at all. Since our suppliers are not contractually bound to
deal with us exclusively, we may face the risk of our competitors offering better terms to such suppliers, which may
cause them to cater to our competitors alongside us. Though we believe that we will not face substantial challenges
in maintaining our business relationship with our suppliers or finding new suppliers, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to maintain long term relationships with such suppliers or find new suppliers in time.
7. Our Company operates under several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals. Our failure to
obtain and/or renew any approvals or licenses in future may have an adverse impact on our business operationsr.
Our Company requires several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to operate the business.
Many of these approvals are granted for fixed periods of time and need renewal from time to time. Our Company is
required to renew such permits, licenses and approvals. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will
issue any of such permits or approvals in time or at all. Further, these permits, licenses and approvals are subject to
several conditions, and our Company cannot assure that it shall be able to continuously meet such conditions or be
able to prove compliance with such conditions to statutory authorities, and this may lead to cancellation, revocation
or suspension of relevant permits/ licenses/ approvals. Further pursuant to change of name of the Company upon
conversion from Private Limited to Public Limited, we further need to get our licenses updated. Also, we have
applied for approvals which are necessary for the furtherance of our objects. Failure by our Company to renew,
alter, maintain or obtain the required permits, licenses or approvals, or cancellation, suspension or revocation of any
of the permits, licenses or approvals which may result in the interruption of our Company's operations and may have
a material adverse effect on the business. For further details, please see chapters titled “Key Industry Regulation
and Policies” and “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” at pages 136 and 196 respectively of this
Prospectus.
358. Contribution of our top customers has been diversified over the period. However, a significant portion of our
revenue from operations is attributable to certain key customers and to projects located in India, and our business
and profitability is dependent on our ability to win projects from such customers.
A significant portion of our revenue from operations have been attributable to and will continue to be attributable
to certain key customers.
The following tables set forth the value of our revenue from operations attributable to our top customer, top five
customers and top ten customers, respectively, in absolute terms and as a percentage of our revenue from operations
as of the dates indicated.

*While more than 50% of our revenue from operations originates from our top 10 customers, names of the customers have not
been included in the above table as consents for disclosure of certain customer names were not available. Further, since this
information is commercially sensitive to our business, we are unable to disclose the names of our top 10 customers.
There are several factors outside of our control that may result in a customer's decision to discontinue awarding
projects to us or prematurely terminate existing projects, including changes in strategic priorities, a demand for price
reductions, market dynamics and financial pressures. If our customers do not award additional projects to us or if
we fail to expand the size of our business with them, or expand to additional customers, our business, profits and
results of operations could be adversely affected.
9. Majority of our revenues are from oil and gas sector. Significant social, political, or economic changes in the oil
and gas sector could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
A significant portion of our revenue are generated from projects in the oil and gas sector. Further, the details of
contribution to revenue from operations by each vertical is set out below:

If we are unable to diversify our operations by successfully securing projects in other verticals such as operating
and maintenance, and specialized infrastructure projects, or securing additional projects in the oil and gas sector,
our business, profitability, and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, any slowdown in oil
36and gas infra sector or unfavourable developments in government policies or funding could exacerbate this risk,
potentially affecting our long-term growth and stability.
10. Some of our unsecured borrowings have certain irregularities
Some of our unsecured borrowings have one or more irregularities such as inadequate stamping and/or improper
execution. In the event of any such irregularity, we may not be able to enforce our rights in case of a dispute, which
may cause a material and adverse effect on our business. In the event of any dispute arising out of such unstamped
or inadequately stamped borrowings, we may not be able to effectively enforce our rights arising out of such
agreements which may have a material and adverse impact on the business of our Company.
11. In the past our Company has paid late filing fees for non-compliances with certain provisions of the labour
and other applicable statutory laws in the last three fiscals
In the past, our Company has made delays in certain filings of e-forms under Provident Fund and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952, Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 and other laws applicable to it in the last three fiscals
and for which the Company has paid late filing fees.

damages.
37The details of number of employees and their related fillings for which the filings have been made is given table

(₹ in lakhs)
March' 25 112 2.62 85 0.46
As on March 31, 2025, the Company had 123 employees as per its salary register. The variation in the number of
employees covered under statutory contributions arisesd due to the following reasons:
• 11 employees voluntarily opted out of the Provident Fund (PF) coverage.
• Certain employees were not eligible for ESIC as their salaries exceeded the statutory threshold limit prescribed
for ESIC contributions.
12. There are certain discrepancies in our corporate compliances, and we may be subjected to penalties in such event.
The analysis of the documents pertaining to allotment has revealed non-compliances/discrepancies relating to the
instances of allotment of securities via private placements.
The instance involves the allotment on preferential basis allotment made during the FY 2022-23, the amounts which
were received through private placement was utilized by the Company prior to the allotment and filling of Form
PAS-3 which is a non-compliance of Section 42(4) of the Companies Act, 2013. Further the company fail to maintain
separate Bank account for the private placement.
In respect to the non-compliances/discrepancy mentioned above the Company has already initiated the adjudication
process as per section 454 under the Companies Act, 2023 to address these concerns and the Company may be
subjected to penalty in such event. We cannot assure that such non-compliance would not happen in future which
may materially impact the financial position of the Company.
13. In the past our Company has paid late filing fees for non-compliances with certain provisions of the Companies
Act and other applicable laws in the last three Years
In the past, our Company has made delays in certain filings of e-forms under Companies Act 2013 and other laws

No show cause notice in respect to the above has been received by our Company till date and no penalty or fine has
been imposed by in respect of the same. No compounding application was required to be filed as Company has
already paid the additional late/delay filing fees. It cannot be assured, that there will not be such instance in the
future, or our Company will not commit any further delays or incur any defaults in relation to its reporting
requirements, or any penalty or fine will not be imposed by any regulatory authority in respect to the same. This
may have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
14. If any of our projects are terminated prematurely, we may not receive payments due to us, which could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Our agreements with project owners can be terminated prematurely by project owners for several reasons, including:
• failure to comply with operational or maintenance standards prescribed under agreements;
• failure to provide, extend or replenish performance security required under agreements,
• failure to achieve project milestones to complete a project within the prescribed timelines;
• abandonment or intention to abandon construction or operation of a project by us without the prior written
consent of the project owner,
• occurrence of a material adverse effect, as defined under our agreements,
• occurrence of à force majeure event, such as an act of god, act of war, expropriation or compulsory
• bankruptcy, insolvency, initiation of liquidation, dissolution, winding up or amalgamation of our Company,
• have an execution levied by any competent court/authority on the goods or property on the work;
• disregard the instruction of the customer or contravene any provision of the contract;
• fail to adhere to agreed programme of work, programme of billing schedules, arrange reconciliation of
materials and adhere to the specifications of work;
• fail to take steps to employ competent or additional staff, labour or workmen as required by the Customer;
• fail to resolve disputes if any, between the partners/ owners/ management of the Company leading to stoppage
of work, reduction in levels of work progress required under the said contract;
• fail to co-operate with other agencies simultaneously working at site under first party and/or the customer.
• failure to comply with any other material term of the relevant agreement;
• failure to perform work in accordance with the terms of the agreement or stoppage of work, resulting in a
breach of our agreements
If any of the foregoing occur, project owners may terminate our agreements with them, which will adversely affect
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
While there have been no such instances in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that we will receive
termination payments if the agreements are terminated for reasons attributable to the project owner, nor can we
guarantee that such payments will be sufficient to cover our costs.
15. We face certain competitive pressures from the existing competitors and new entrants in both public and private
sector. Increased competition and aggressive bidding by such competitors are expected to make our ability to
procure business in future more uncertain which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
40Our business is highly competitive as we face competition from the competitors in the domestic market. For details
on our listed peers, see “Basis of Issue Price- Comparison of accounting ratios with peer group companies” on page
104. Our Company primarily procures projects on the basis of competitive bidding which entails significant
managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts and at times requires us to resort to aggressive pricing
to be able to be awarded the contracts. We may not be in a position to aggressively price our services in the future
which may result in loss of business and adversely affect our future prospects. With increased competition, our
ability to estimate costs to provide services required under the contracts and ability to deliver the project in a timely
manner will determine our profitability and competitive position in the market. The possibility exists that our
competitors might develop new technologies that might cause our existing technology and offerings to become less
competitive. Our ability to anticipate such developments and deploy improved and appropriate technologies through
development acquisitions will determine our competitive position in the market place. Any failure on our part to
compete effectively in terms of pricing of our services or providing quality services could have a material adverse
effect on our operations and financial condition.
The market competition in the EPC sector is intense, characterized by a multitude of competitors competing for the
same projects. This coupled with rising input costs will make it difficult for the EPC players to further pass on the
costs to their customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our
competitors as well as new entrants in our industry in the future, or that the companies that are not directly in
competition with us now will not compete with us in the future. Accordingly, our business, financial condition,
results of operations and future prospects would be adversely and materially affected if we are unable to maintain
our competitive advantage and compete successfully against our competitors and any new entrants to our industry
in the future.
16. We have experienced growth in recent years and may be unable to sustain our growth or manage it effectively.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully execute our growth strategies, which could affect our
business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition
We have expanded our operations and experienced growth in recent years. Our revenue from operations grew at a
CAGR of 31.65% from ₹ 5902.14 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 10,228.99 lakhs in Fiscal 2025, based on our Restated
Consolidated Financial Statements. Our profit for the year, calculated on the basis of our Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements, increased from ₹ 318.50 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 933.25 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 at a CAGR of
71.18 %. For further details, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation” and “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” on pages 179 and 174 respectively.
As of May 31, 2025, we have undertaken more than 30 projects across India. Sustaining our growth will require
working capital investments and will also put pressure on our ability to effectively manage and control historical
and emerging risks. We may not be able to sustain our growth rates due to a variety of factors such as a work
stoppages, labour or social unrest, environmental activism, adverse weather conditions such as cyclones and
monsoons, natural calamities, delays in construction, delays in clearances, increased cost of raw materials,
unavailability of adequate funding, inability to onboard experienced members for our management team or a general
slowdown in the economy or the industries in which we operate.
Our growth has placed, and continues to place, significant demands on our internal administrative infrastructure,
our managerial, technical and operational capabilities as well as our financial, management and other internal risk
control systems. We may not be successful in controlling our input costs, effectively managing our internal supply
chain. If we are unable to complete our projects on time in line with our customer requirements with our ability to
maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and quality standards. develop and maintain relationships with our
suppliers, improve our operations and technology systems and maintain risk management standards, operate in
markets or geographies where we have limited experience and preserve a uniform culture, values and work ethic in
our operations.
As part of our growth strategy, we propose to continue to strengthen our core competencies in oil and gas infra
sector, expand our footprint in overseas markets, expand our EPC portfolio into other allied/ancillary EPC sectors
and capitalize on Government initiatives and policies. Our growth strategies could place significant demand on our
management and our administrative, technological, operational and financial infrastructure. Any failure to sustain
our growth or an expansion in the scope and complexity of our operations as a result of any or a combination of the
foregoing factors may have an adverse effect on our revenues and our operating margins may also decline, which
may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
17. We have certain contingent liabilities, which, if they materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
41Our contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2025, are as follows:
(Amount in ₹ lakhs)
Particulars As of March 31, 2025
Claims against the company not acknowledged as debt 974.77
Guarantees 5,070.09
We cannot assure you that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the future. If any
of these contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.
For further details on our contingent liabilities, see “Summary of the Issue Document” and “Restated Consolidated
Financial Statements – Note: 34: Contingent liabilities and Commitments” on pages 21 and F-26, respectively.
18. Our inability to meet our obligations, including financial and other covenants under our debt financing
arrangements could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As on March 31, 2025, our total outstanding borrowings (fund based and non- fund based) were ₹ 9,675.88 lakhs.
For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 177. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and
repay our outstanding borrowings will depend primarily on the cash generated by our business, which depends on
the timely payment by our clients. If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources become
insufficient to pay our debt obligations or our contractual obligations, or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may
be forced to sell assets or attempt to restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness. Any refinancing of our debt
could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further
restrict our business operations.
We are required to obtain prior approval from certain of our lenders, as well as send prior intimation to certain of our
lenders for, among other things:
i effecting any change, in the directors, memorandum of association, articles of association or other
constitutional documents;
ii shall not invest/lend/extend advances to group or subsidiaries companies other than genuine trade transactions
without prior written approval;
iii not to divert any funds to any purpose and launch any new scheme of expansion without prior permission;
iv not to transfer, sell, lease, grant of license or create any third-party interest of any nature whatsoever on the
security without prior consent;
v effecting any change in the shareholding pattern of the Company;
We have applied to our lenders and we have received consents from some of the relevant lenders, in relation to this
Issue while one consent is awaited.
We have not defaulted on payment of principal or interest in any of its current borrowings. However, in the past there
have been instances of delay in payment of interest and principal. Our failure to meet our obligations under our
financing agreements could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If
the obligations under any of our financing agreements are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a substantial portion
of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents, thereby reducing the availability
of cash for our business operations. Our future borrowings may also contain similar restrictive provisions.
19. Our inability to collect receivables in time and make timely payments to our vendors, could materially and
adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business largely depends on our ability to obtain timely payment from our customers against the work performed
and payment to our vendors against raw materials procured. We are exposed to the risk of uncertainty in respect
timely realizations from customers and further payment to our vendors. There have been delays in payments by
some of our clients in the past and our payments to our vendors.
Below are the details of our trade receivable and trade payables days during last three fiscals which have significant
increase in credit and liquidity risk:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Trade Receivable (days) 152 83 113
42Trade Payables (days) 159 187 142
Any delay or failure on our part to supply the required quantity or quality of products, within the time, to our
customers may in turn cause delay in payment or refusal of payment by the customer. Such defaults/delays by our
customers in meeting their payment obligations to us may have a material effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
20. We may not be able to collect receivables due from our customers, in a timely manner, or at all, which may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As of the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, ₹ 493.50 lakhs, ₹ 49.28 lakhs and ₹ 725.13 lakhs or 11.59%, 2.77 % and
39.74%, respectively, of our total trade receivables (excluding expected credit loss allowance) had been outstanding
for a period exceeding six months from their respective due dates of payments. Arbitration, litigation or other dispute
resolution proceedings could also arise from additional payments claimed from customers for additional work and
costs incurred in excess of the contract price or amounts not included in the contract price.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to collect our receivables on time or at all, which could adversely affect
our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. We may also incur costs in collecting payments from
our customers and we may not be able to recover such costs.
We require significant working capital requirements in our business operations and such delays in the collection of
receivables or inadequate recovery on our claims could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition
and results of operations.
21. We require various statutory and regulatory permits and approvals in the ordinary course of our business, and
our failure to obtain, renew or maintain them in a timely manner may adversely affect our operations.
We require various statutory and regulatory permits, approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for our
business and operations some of which may have expired and for which we may have either made or are in the
process of making an application for obtaining the approval. For details of the key laws and regulations applicable
to us, see “Key Industry Regulation and Policies” on page 136. We may need to apply for further approvals in the
future including renewal of approvals that may expire from time to time. We cannot assure you that the relevant
authorities will issue such permits or approvals in the timeframe anticipated by us or at all.
Failure to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations
and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, we cannot assure you that the approvals, licenses, registrations, and permits issued to us will not impose
onerous requirements and conditions on our operations or will not be suspended or revoked in the event of non-
compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action.
Failure to renew, maintain or obtain, or any suspension or revocation of, the required permits or approvals at the
requisite time may result in stringent restrictions or interruption in all or some of our operations. Any failure to
renew approvals that have expired or apply for and obtain the required approvals, licenses, registrations or permits,
or any suspension or revocation of any of approvals, licenses, registrations and permits that have been or may be
issued to us, may adversely affect our business, reputation and financial condition.
22. There are certain delays in reporting of statutory dues by us. Any further such delays may attract financial
penalties from the respective government authorities and in turn may have a material adverse impact on our
financial condition and cash flows.
We have had instances of defaults/delay in the payment of certain statutory dues with respect to tax deducted at
source, goods and services tax and professional tax.
Table: A
The below table sets forth the instances of delay in statutory dues paid in the last three Fiscals:

GST Return GSTR-9 Fee 8,200/- 41 Days
Except as stated in Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, there are no unpaid dues as on March 31, 2025.
There can be no assurance that such defaults/ delay may not arise in the future. This may lead to financial penalties
from respective government authorities which may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and
cash flows.
23. The registered office used by the Company is not registered in our name and is located on rented premises. There
can be no assurance that the rent agreement will be renewed upon termination or that we will be able to obtain
other premises on rent or on same or similar commercial terms.
The premises used by us for registered office purposes pis located on rent premises, and we do not own this premises.
In the event such leases are not renewed or are terminated, it could adversely affect our operation unless we arrange
for similar premises. If we are unable to continue or renew such leases on same or similar terms or find alternate
premises on lease on similar terms or at all, it may affect our business operations. For information relating to
properties that we have leased, see “Our Business - Details of Immovable Property” starting from page 119.
24. We are highly dependent on our Key Managerial Personnel, Senior Management Personnel and skilled
professionals for our business. The loss of our inability to attract or retain such persons could have an adverse
effect on our business performance.
Our business and the implementation of our strategy is dependent upon our Key Managerial Personnel and our
Senior Management Personnel, who oversee our day-to-day operations, strategy and growth of our business. If one
or more members of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel are unable or unwilling to
continue in their present positions, such persons could be difficult to replace in a timely and cost-effective manner.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these personnel. The loss of our Key Managerial Personnel
or members of our Senior Management or our inability to replace such Key Managerial Personnel or members of
our Senior Management may restrict our ability to grow, to execute our strategy, to raise the profile of our brand, to
raise funding, to make strategic decisions and to manage the overall running of our operations, which would have
an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
For details in relation to the changes in our Key Managerial Personnel and our Senior Management team, see “Our
Management – Changes in the Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel of the Company in
the last 3 (three) years preceding the date of this RHP” starting from page 151.
Our business also depends upon our ability to attract, develop, motivate, retain and effectively utilize skilled
professionals. We believe that there is significant competition in our industry for such professionals who possess
the technical skills and experience necessary to execute and manage infrastructure projects, and that such
competition is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. We seek to hire and train a significant number of
44additional professionals each year in order to meet anticipated turnover and increased staffing needs. Our ability to
execute existing projects and to win new contract awards depends, in large part, on our ability to hire and retain
qualified personnel.
We cannot assure you that we will not lose our Key Managerial Personnel, member of Senior Management or skilled
professionals in the future, or we will be able to replace any Key Managerial Personnel or member of Senior
Management in a timely manner or at all, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.
25. Our inability to protect or use our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business. We may also
unintentionally infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, any misappropriation of which could
harm our competitive position.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our logo is registered with the Trademark Registry under class 37. There
can be no assurance that our brand name or trademarks will not be adversely affected in the future by actions that are
beyond our control including client complaints in relation to intellectual property rights infringement, intellectual
property infringements or adverse publicity from any other source in India and abroad. Any damage to our brand name,
if not immediately and sufficiently remedied, could have an adverse effect on our reputation, competitive position in
India and abroad, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
While we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot determine with
certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights which may force us to alter our
offerings. We may also be susceptible to objections and claims from third parties asserting infringement and other
related claims. While we have not been subject to any such claims in the past three Fiscals, any such claims raised in
the future could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, subject us to significant
liabilities and require us to enter into potentially expensive royalty or licensing agreements or to cease certain offerings.
Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition. If claims or actions are adjudicated against us from third parties asserting infringement and other related
claims in India and abroad, we may be required to obtain a license, modify our existing technology or cease the use
of such technology and design, or use a new non-infringing technology. In addition, we may decide to settle a claim
or action against us, the settlement of which could be costly and time-consuming. We may also be liable for any past
infringement. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
The application of laws governing intellectual property rights in India is evolving and could involve substantial risks
to us. Further, if we are unable to register our intellectual properties for any reason, including our inability to remove
objections to any trademark application, we may not be able to claim registered ownership of such trademark, and
as a result, we may not be able to seek remedies for infringement of those trademarks by third parties, which would
cause damage to our business prospects, reputation and goodwill in India and abroad. Further, the illegal use or
impersonation of our trademark by third parties or any negative publicity about our brand could affect our reputation
and, which in turn, affects our ability to attract and/or retain customers which may adversely affect our business and
results of operations. To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to resort to legal action to
protect our intellectual property rights, which may strain our resources and divert the attention of our management
from our day-to-day functioning. Furthermore, if a competitor is able to reproduce or otherwise capitalize on our
technology, it may be difficult and expensive for us to obtain necessary legal protection. Any adverse outcome in
any legal proceedings that we may initiate in future to successfully enforce our intellectual property may have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. For details, see “Our Business – Details of
Intellectual Property” and “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” starting from pages 119 and 196,
respectively.
26. Inaccurate estimation of risks, revenues or costs for a project could negatively impact our profitability and
operational results. Actual costs during project execution may significantly deviate from bid assumptions, leading
to challenges in recovering additional expenses and potentially having a material adverse effect on our operational
results, cash flows, and financial condition.
Under the agreements for our projects, we typically agree to receive a predetermined sum of money from clients,
subject to contract variations that cover changes in the project requirements. However, some of our future projects
may not include price escalation clauses, leaving us exposed to potential cost variations. As a result, the actual
expenses incurred during these projects may significantly differ from the bid assumptions due to various factors.
45These factors include unanticipated increases in material, fuel, labor, or other input costs, unexpected conditions
leading to delays and higher expenses, weather-related disruptions, and non-performance by suppliers.
If we are unable to pass on cost increases to clients due to limited or no price escalation provisions, our profitability
may be adversely affected, and we could incur financial losses. Additionally, the inherent risks in the industry may
result in lower profits than initially estimated or lead to cost and time overruns, potentially impacting our cash flows,
overall business, financial health, and operational results.
The accurate estimation of risks, revenues, and costs for a project is critical to ensure profitability and operational
success. Any inaccuracies in these estimates can have detrimental effects on our financial performance. During project
execution, actual costs may vary significantly from the initial bid assumptions, making it challenging to recover
additional expenses. Such deviations can have a material adverse impact on our operational results, cash flows, and
overall financial condition.
27. Failure to successfully implement our business strategies may materially and adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We aim to implement our business strategies to ensure future business growth, which may be subject to various risks
and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:
• Maintaining Competitive Edge: We face the risk of cost overruns or delays in project execution, which could
erode our competitive advantage and reputation. Failing to deliver projects in a timely manner or meeting quality
specifications may hinder our growth prospects.
• Intensified Competition and Payment Issues: We operate in a competitive landscape, and intensified
competition may affect our ability to secure contracts. Delays or non-payments by clients and associated legal
proceedings may also pose financial and operational challenges.
• Bidding Strategy: The success of our projects depends on effective bidding strategies. If we fail to implement
suitable bidding plans, it could impact our ability to win projects and generate revenue.
• Operational Efficiency: Inefficiency in utilizing our procurement system and IT systems may affect project
performance and operational results.
• Financing Challenges: Managing financing resources and obtaining funds at affordable costs are critical for
our business growth. Failure to maintain financial discipline may affect our ability to undertake projects.
• Regulatory and Political Environment: Changes in laws, regulations, policies, or the political environment
could impact our business operations and profitability.
• Diversification and Business Segments: Expanding into new states or business segments involves inherent
risks, including market acceptance and operational challenges.
• Talent Acquisition and Retention: Skilled employees play a vital role in our success. Difficulty in recruiting
and retaining talent could affect our operations and project execution.
• Market Trends and Portfolio Optimization: Failure to identify market trends or optimize our project portfolio
may hinder our ability to acquire new projects and meet client expectations.
• Cost and Rate Fluctuations: Fluctuations in the costs of raw materials, fuel, labor, equipment, and interest
rates may impact project economics and profitability.
• Corrupt Practices: The risk of fraud or improper conduct may adversely affect our reputation and financial
standing.
Implementation of our strategies may be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including the ones mentioned
above, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our growth
strategy on time and within the estimated costs, or that we will meet the expectations of our clients. In order to manage
growth effectively, we must implement and improve operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis,
which, as we grow and diversify, we may not be able to implement, manage or execute efficiently and in a timely
manner or at all, which could result in delays, increased costs and diminished quality and may adversely affect our
results of operations and our reputation. Any failure or delay in the implementation of any of our strategies may
have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
28. We are required to furnish bank guarantees as part of our business. Our inability to arrange such bank
guarantees or the invocation of such bank guarantees or our inability to fulfil any or all of the obligations under
such bank guarantees may or may not adversely affect our cash flows and financial condition.
46In terms of our EPC contracts and requirement of the government customers, we are required to provide certain
financial guarantees such as bid security, and performance bank guarantees for our projects. We typically issue bank
guarantees to the relevant authority with whom the contractual arrangement has been entered into. These guarantees
are typically required to be furnished within a few days of awarding of contract and remain valid till completion of
project. We may not be able to continue obtaining new financial, performance in sufficient quantities to match our
business requirements. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the financial bank guarantees,
performance bank guarantees, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be limited
and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Set out below is the amount of bank guarantees furnished by our Company for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars FY ended 2025 FY ended 2024 FY ended 2023
Amount of bank guarantees furnished (in ₹ lakhs) 5,070.09 3,018.67 2,571.95
We may be unable to fulfil any or all of our obligations under the contracts entered into by us in relation to our
ongoing projects due to unforeseen circumstances which may result in a default under our contracts resulting in
invocation of the bank guarantees issued by us. While we have not had any instances in Financial Years ended
March 31,2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, if any or all the bank guarantees are invoked, it may result in
a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Also see, “Risk Factor –We have certain contingent
liabilities, which, if they materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows” starting from page 29.
29. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter could be lower than the Issue Price
Our Promoter’s average cost of acquisition of Equity shares in our Company is lower than the Issue Price of Equity
shares as given below:
Name Promoter No. of equity shares held Weighted Average Cost of
Acquisition (₹)
Goutam Debnath 1,10,22,860 3.36
30. We are exposed to claims, penalties and damages resulting from delays in our projects which may have an adverse
effect on our business.
We may face delays in our EPC projects due to the internal processes/customer processes involving periodical
approval of project milestones resulting in delay in project execution, which adversely impacts us, especially if the
contract is on a fixed-rate basis. Actual or claimed defects in equipment procured and/or construction quality could
give rise to claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, relating to loss of life, personal injury, damage to property, damage
to equipment and facilities, pollution, inefficient operating processes, loss of production or suspension of operations.
Although in certain cases our suppliers are required to compensate us for certain equipment failures and defects,
such arrangements may not fully compensate us for the damage that we suffer as a result of equipment failures and
defects or the penalties under our agreements with our customers, and they also do not generally cover indirect
losses such as loss of profits or business interruption. We may also face delays due to shortage and pilferage of our
materials lying at the sites which may either suffer losses due to theft, pilferage, breakage, mishandling which may
require us to replace these materials and consequently resulting in further costs and time being lost for procuring
them. Further, while we typically give performance guarantees and other guarantees to our customers in relation to
our projects, in case of non-performance due to delay, the said guarantees may be invoked by our customers and
such liabilities may become effective. For further details, see- “Risk Factor- We are required to furnish bank
guarantees as part of our business. Our inability to arrange such guarantees or the invocation of such guarantees
or our inability to fulfill any or all of the obligations under such bank guarantees may or may not adversely affect
our cash flows and financial condition” starting from page 29. Any significant operational problems or the
temporary unavailability of the machines and equipment could result in delays or incomplete projects or services
and adversely affect our results of operations. While there have been no such instances to claims, penalties in the
past, any such instances to claims in the future could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition
and reputation. We cannot assure you whether there will be further delays in our ongoing projects or future projects
and we will face penalties in that regard, which may result in an adverse impact on our financial condition, operations
and reputation.
31. Our contracts with government agencies usually contain terms that favour the government customers, who may
terminate our contracts prematurely and impose restrictions on our Company from procurement of any future
47contracts under various circumstances beyond our control, which may have a material adverse impact on our
financial condition and results of operations.
The counterparties to a number of our EPC contracts are Indian government entities and these contracts are usually
based on the forms chosen by such entities. As a result, we have only a limited ability to negotiate the terms of these
contracts, which tend to favour the government customers. For instance, the terms laying out our obligations in
relation to delivery and completion schedules, specifications for our projects, guarantees to be furnished by us for
the project, etc., are determined by the government entities and we are not permitted to amend such terms. The
contractual terms may present risks to our business, including
• risks we have to assume and lack of recourse to our government customer where defects in site or geological
conditions were unforeseen or latent from our preliminary investigations, design and engineering prior to
submitting a bid;
• liability for defects arising after the termination of the agreement;
• customer’s discretion to grant time extensions, which may result in project delays and/or cost overruns, and
• the right of the government customer to terminate our contracts for convenience at any time after providing us
with the required written notice within the specified notice period.
Under our EPC contracts, the contract price and scheduled completion date of the project may not be adjusted for
any unforeseen difficulties or costs such as work stoppages, labour or social unrest, environmental activism, adverse
weather conditions such as cyclones and monsoons, natural calamities, delays in construction, delays in clearances,
increased cost of raw materials, unavailability of adequate funding, inability to secure rights of way for certain
portions of the transmission line or within the required timeframe, failure to complete projects within budget and in
accordance with the required specifications, legal actions brought by third parties, changes in government,
regulatory and tax policies, foreign exchange movements, adverse trends in the power transmission industry.
However, we are responsible for having foreseen difficulties such as unavailability of equipment, factored into our
contract price and completion date. Such onerous conditions in the EPC contracts may affect the efficient execution
of these projects and may have adverse effects on our profitability, cash flow and our reputation.
32. Our business and operation involve inherent occupational hazards which can be dangerous and could cause
injuries to people or property.
Our business and projects require individuals to work under potentially dangerous circumstances.
Further, our business and operation involve inherent occupational hazards and are subject to hazards inherent in
providing services, such as and including risk of equipment failure. Such inherent risks and occupational hazards
may not be eliminated through implementing safety measures. We participate in certain activities presenting risks
and dangers, among which are underground excavation and construction and the use of heavy machinery. Our
project sites also involve working at great heights and potentially dangerous locations which can seriously injure or
even kill employees or labourers. We depend on machinery and equipment to implement our project. Any
manufacturing defect or poor maintenance systems of the machinery may cause strain on our machinery and lead to
delays in implementation of our projects.
These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life or destruction of property and equipment as well as
environmental damage. In addition, the loss or shutting down of our project resulting from any accident in our
operations could disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition
and reputation. We could also face claims and litigation filed on behalf of persons alleging injury predominantly
due to occupational exposure to hazards at our project sites. If these claims and lawsuits, individually or in the
aggregate, are resolved against us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could
beadversely affected. As on the date of RHP, there have been no instances involving occupational hazards resulting
in any injury or loss of life or destruction of property and equipment as well as environmental damage. While there
have been no such claims in the last three Fiscals, any such claims in the future could adversely affect our results of
operations, financial condition and reputation.
33. Bidding for a tender involves various activities such as detailed project study and cost estimations. Inability to
accurately estimate the cost may lead to a reduction in the expected rate of return and profitability estimates.
For every project, notice for invitation of tender is issued which requests interested EPC companies/contractors/
participants to bid. To evaluate a project tender, we undertake various management discussions, project feasibility
48study, site study, cost estimations, raw material and equipment suppliers among others which aids us to calculate
the estimated cost of the project on which we add-on our margin, which varies from project to project, the result of
which is the tender amount which we bid for any particular project.
Accordingly, all of the bid amounts are based on estimation of the project cost, the fluctuation of which, either
marginally or substantially, may impact our margins adversely. Further, we may incorrectly or inadequately estimate
the project cost leading to lower bid amount affecting our profitability, in case the project is awarded to us. Excess
estimation of costs may lead to higher bid amount by us owing to which, we may not be awarded a contract which
may substantially impact our results of operations and financials. Further, as most of the projects are spread over a
longer period of time, cost escalations in our industry is a frequent issue, although most of the agreements includes
clauses relating to cost escalations, any fluctuations in costs or raw material availability or any other unanticipated
costs will substantially impact the business operations, cash flows and financial conditions.
34. We rely on third parties, including for equipment and labour, to complete our projects and any failure arising
from non-performance, delayed performance or inadequate quality in the performance of work by such third
parties, or a failure by third-party agencies to comply with applicable laws, to obtain the necessary approvals, or
provide services on agreed terms, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
We are typically engaged as a principal contractor for the construction of a project, and we rely on certain individuals
to complete a certain portion of our work on job work basis. For the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our job work
charges amounted to ₹ 831.01 lakhs, ₹ 720.35 lakhs and 398.25 lakhs, respectively, representing 9.19 %, 10.00 %
and 6.67%, respectively, of our total expenses.
For further details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 174. We also rely on third- party
equipment manufacturers or suppliers to provide the equipment and materials used for construction of our projects,
and other vendors for IT services such as network infrastructure, communications, maintenance of websites and
cyber security.
Engaging contract labour agencies is subject to certain risks, including difficulties in overseeing performance, delays
which may arise on account of being unable to hire suitable subcontractors, or losses as a result of unexpected sub-
contracting cost overruns. Since job work people have no direct contractual relationship with our customers, we are
subject to risks associated with non-performance, late performance or poor performance by the job work personnel.
As a result, we may incur additional costs, or be exposed to liability arising from poor performance by
subcontractors, which may impact our business, reputation and profitability, and may result in litigation or other
claims against us. While we may attempt to seek compensation from the relevant subcontractors, we cannot assure
you that we will be successful in such a claim.
Further, if job work personnel engaged by us fail to obtain government or third-party approvals, we may be subject
to claims by government authorities or third parties. In addition, if we are unable to hire qualified subcontractors or
find competent equipment manufacturers or suppliers, our ability to successfully complete a project could be
affected. If the amount we are required to pay for contract labour agencies, equipment or supplies exceeds our
estimates, we may suffer losses. If a supplier, manufacturer, or contract labour agency fails to provide supplies,
equipment or services on agreed terms, we may be required to source these supplies or equipment from another
supplier or find a replacement for such a contract labour agency (as the case may be) at higher costs than anticipated,
which could adversely affect our business, profitability, financial condition and results of operations. While we have
faced any such instances in the last three Fiscals, where contract labour agencies failed to meet their obligations,
any future failure by them to do so in the future could disrupt our project timelines, increase costs, and negatively
impact our business, profitability, financial condition, and results of operations.
35. Fluctuation in cost of raw materials or any shortages, delay or disruption in the supply of the raw materials we
use in our manufacturing process due to factors beyond our control or may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The major raw materials used by our Company include Cements, Sands, SS Rods, Pipes, Mechanical Equipments
and other Civil Materials. Our operations are dependent upon the price and availability of the raw materials. We
usually keep inventory of raw materials on a need basis, as purchases are project specific, and grades of raw materials
vary project to project. If we face shortage in raw materials in the future, there can be no assurance that we may be
able to acquire the raw materials from the market in a timely manner and at a reasonable price, or at all, and if we
are not able to procure raw materials in sufficient quantities, we may not be able to manufacture our products or
provide our services according to our pre-determined timeframes or as contracted with our customers, at our
previously estimated product costs, or at all. Therefore, any shortage, delay or disruption in supply of any of our
raw materials could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and reputation. The
49table below sets out the breakdown of total cost of materials consumed and the number of days of inventory for the
Financial Years ended March 31,2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:
Financial Year ended Financial Year ended Financial Year ended
Particulars
March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Cost of materials consumed (in ₹
6,352.24 5,273.64 4,294.59
lakhs)(1)
Percentage contribution of cost of
material consumed towards the 70.25 73.20 71.92
total expenses (in %)(2)
Number of days of inventory(3) 151 147 119
(1) Cost of material consumed and changes in inventory as per the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements
(2) Total cost of material consumed divided by total expenses.
(3) Average inventory divided by revenue from operations multiplied by number of days for the period.
The prices and supply of these raw materials are also affected by, among others, general economic conditions,
volatility in commodity markets, competition, production costs and levels, the occurrence of pandemic (such as
COVID-19), transportation costs, indirect taxes and import duties, tariffs and currency exchange rate. If we are
unable to pass on cost increases to our customers or are unsuccessful in managing the effects of raw material price
fluctuations, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely
affected.
Additionally, suppliers may stop providing raw materials for us on acceptable terms in future and we may be unable
to find alternative manufactures in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms or at all. Other risks
associated with our reliance on the suppliers to manufacture the raw materials include, quality assurance and timely
delivery of the raw materials, misappropriation of our designs, limited ability to manage our inventory, financial
and economic condition of the contract manufacturers etc. Moreover, if any of our suppliers suffer any damage to
their facilities, theft of materials, encounter financial difficulties, are unable to secure necessary raw materials from
their suppliers or suffer any other reduction in efficiency, we may experience significant business disruption. While
we have not faced any such instances for the Financial Years ended March 31,2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31,
2023 in the event of any such disruptions in the future, we would need to seek and source other qualified suppliers,
likely resulting in further delays and increased costs, which could affect our business adversely.
36. Fraud, theft, employee negligence or similar incidents may adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
Our Company faces potential risks related to incidents of theft or damage to inventory. While we have not
encountered such situations in the past, we acknowledge that there is a possibility of experiencing inventory losses
due to various factors such as employee theft, vendor fraud, and general administrative errors. These incidents could
have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. During the execution of the contract and
up to defect liability period we are generally fully liable to compensate all concerned for any loss, damage, or
destruction of work, structure, property etc. including third party risk arising due to causes attributable to us.
Despite implementing security measures and internal controls, there is no guarantee that we will completely avoid
instances of fraud, theft, employee negligence, or security lapses in the future. Any such occurrence could lead to
significant financial losses and affect our overall business performance.
We have not obtained insurance coverage against losses due to theft, fire, breakage, or damage caused by other
casualties and therefore, we may not be able to mitigate the financial impact of such incidents on our operations and
financial condition, In some cases, the losses incurred may exceed the insurance coverage, resulting in additional
financial strain for the Company.
37. We operate in a labour - intensive industry and are subject to stringent labour laws and any strike, work stoppage
or increased wage demand by our employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our EPC services and manufacturing processes are labour intensive in nature, which makes us prone to labour
shortage due to reasons such as relationship of our sub-contractor with its labour, labour availability, pandemics
such as COVID- 19 etc., which may affect our ability to complete projects in time. Further, if we or our sub-
contractors are unable to negotiate with the labour, it could result in work stoppages or increased operating costs
due to higher than anticipated wages or benefits. During periods of shortages in labour, we may not be able to deliver
our services or manufacture our products according to our previously determined time frames, at our previously
50estimated product costs, or at all, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and
reputation.
As of March 31 ,2025, we had a total of 123 employees. For details, see “Our Business - Human Resources” on
page 115. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any disruptions in our operations due to any disputes
with our employees, strike or work stoppage in the future. In addition, work stoppages or slow-downs experienced
by our customers or key suppliers could result in slow-downs or closures of our projects. If we or one or more of
our customers or key suppliers experience a work stoppage, such work stoppage could have an adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We are also subject to a number of stringent labour laws that protect the interests of workers, including legislation
that sets forth detailed procedures for dispute resolution and employee removal and legislation that imposes financial
obligations on employers upon retrenchment. For further details see, “Key Industry Regulation and Policies” on
page 136. If labour laws become more stringent, it may become more difficult for us to maintain flexible human
resource policies, discharge employees or downsize, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
38. Objects of the Fresh Issue for which the funds are being raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institutions. Any variation in the utilization of our Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Prospectus would be subject
to certain compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders' approval.
The proceeds received from the Net Proceeds towards funding our working capital requirements and general
corporate purposes, as set forth in “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 97. The proposed deployment of Net
Proceeds has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent agency and is based on
internal management estimates based on current market conditions and historic level of expenditures. Further,
pursuant to Section 27 of the Companies Act, any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds shall be on account
of a variety of factors such as our financial condition, business and strategy and external factors such as market
conditions and competitive environment, which may not be within the control of our management, would require a
special resolution of the Shareholders and the Promoter or controlling Shareholders will be required to provide an
exit opportunity to the Shareholders who do not agree to such proposal to vary the objects of the Issue, at such price
and in such manner in accordance with applicable law. Any delay or inability in obtaining such Shareholders'
approval may adversely affect our business or operations. Our management estimates may differ from the value that
would have been determined by third party appraisals, which may require us to reschedule or reallocate our
expenditure, subject to applicable laws, and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows. The Issue expenses are estimated to be approximately 577.62 lakh. For details, see
“Objects of the Issue” on page 97.
Various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this “Risk Factors" section, may limit or delay our efforts
to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth in our business, including delaying the schedule of
implementation of projects for which the Net Proceeds are intended for. Accordingly, the use of the Net Proceeds
to fund our growth and for other purposes identified by our management may not result in actual growth of our
business, increased profitability or an increase in the value of our business and your investment.
39. The objects of the Fresh Issue is funding working capital requirements, which is based on certain assumptions
and estimates. Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operations may adversely affect our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial conditions.
The proposed deployment of Net Proceeds is funding working capital requirements, which is based on management
estimates and certain assumptions. For details, see “Objects of the Issue” on page 97. Our business requires
significant working capital, and the actual amount of our future working capital requirements may differ from
estimates as a result of, among other factors, unanticipated expenses, economic conditions, growth in revenue,
changes in the terms of our financing arrangements, additional market developments and new opportunities in the
EPC sector. For further details of funding our working capital requirements, see “Risk Factors-Our business
typically requires significant amounts of working capital and historically, our business growth has been dependent
on high working capital requirements. If we experience insufficient cash flows or are unable to access suitable
financing to meet working capital requirements and loan repayment obligations, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be adversely affected.” starting from page 28. Any delay in the Issue may impact,
the funding of our working capital requirements, and adversely affect our business, operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
40. Our management will have broad discretion in how we apply the Net Proceeds, including interim use of the Net
Proceeds, and there is no assurance that the objects of the Issue will be achieved within the time frame expected
51or at all, or that the deployment of the Net Proceeds in the manner intended by us will result in any increase in
the value of your investment.
We intend to utilize the Net Proceeds of the Issue as set forth in “Objects of the Issue”, with respect to funding
incremental working capital requirements of our Company and for general corporate purposes. The funding
requirements mentioned as a part of the objects of the Issue are based on internal management estimates which in
turn, is based on current conditions and is subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances, costs,
other financial condition or business strategies. Further the deployment of the Net Proceeds will be at the discretion
of our Board and the management of our Company will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds received
by our Company from the Issue. However, the Audit Committee will monitor the utilization of the proceeds of this
Issue and prepare the statement for utilization of the proceeds of this Issue. Further in accordance with Section 27
of the Companies Act, 2013, a company shall not vary the objects of the Issue without our Company being authorised
to do so by our shareholders by way of special resolution and other compliances in this regard. Our Promoter shall
provide exit opportunity to such shareholders who do not agree to the proposal to vary the objects, at such price,
and in such manner, as may be prescribed by SEBI, in this regard.
Various risks and uncertainties, may limit or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth
in our business. We cannot assure you that use of the Net Proceeds to meet our future capital requirements, fund our
growth and for other purposes identified by our management would result in actual growth of our business, increased
profitability or an increase in the value of our business and your investment.
41. Trade receivables, contract assets and inventories form a substantial part of our current assets and net worth.
Failure to manage the same could have an adverse effect on our profitability, cash flow and liquidity.
Our business is working capital intensive and hence, trade receivables, other current assets including inventories
form substantial part of our current assets and net worth. For the Financial Years ended March 31, 2025, March 31,
2024 and March 31, 2023, the trade receivable and inventories on an aggregate basis represent approximately
55.79%, 55.59% and 50.19% of total assets respectively.
The results of operations of our business and our overall financial condition are hence dependent on our ability to
effectively manage our inventory, contract assets and trade receivables. We generally procure raw materials on the
basis of management estimates based on past requirements and future estimates. To effectively manage our supplies
inventory, we must be able to accurately estimate customer demand, project requirements, project timelines and
supply requirements and purchase new inventory accordingly. However, if our management misjudges expected
project timelines and customer demand, it could cause either a shortage of construction materials or an accumulation
of excess inventory. Further, if we fail to finish any project within the given timelines, we may be required to carry
work-in- progress inventory on our books and pay for fresh supplies on other projects without receiving payment
for earlier projects, requiring to create additional vendor financing, all of which could have an adverse impact on
our income and cash flows.
To effectively manage our trade receivables, we must be able to accurately evaluate the credit worthiness of our
customers, contractors/employers and ensure that suitable terms and conditions are given to them in order to ensure
our continued relationship with them. However, if our management fails to accurately evaluate the credit worthiness
of our customers, it may lead to bad debts, delays in recoveries and or write-offs which could lead to a liquidity
crunch, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations. A liquidity crunch may also result in
increased working capital borrowings and, consequently, higher finance cost which will adversely impact our
profitability.
42. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
Our operations are subject to hazards inherent to providing engineering services, such as risk of equipment failure,
work accidents, fire, earthquake, flood and other force majeure events, acts of terrorism and explosions including
hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to and the destruction of property and equipment and
environmental damage. We believe that we have generally maintained insurance covering our assets and operations
at levels that we believe to be appropriate, including employee’s compensation policy for our permanent employees.
Risks of loss or damage to project works and materials are often insured jointly with our customers. We also obtain
specialized insurance for construction risks and third-party liabilities for most projects for the duration of the project
and the defect liability period. We also have insurance coverage on our tangible fixed assets. However, we may not
have sufficient insurance coverage to cover all possible economic losses.
There are possible losses, which we may not have insured against or covered or wherein the insurance cover in
relation to the same may not be adequate. If we were to incur a serious uninsured loss or a loss that significantly
52exceeds the limits of our insurance policies, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. For details, see “Our Business –Insurance” commencing from page
1198. While we have not experienced substantial uninsured losses during the past three Financial Years, in the event
of a substantial uninsured future loss, our policies may not be sufficient to recover the full current market value or
current replacement cost of our assets.
The occurrence of an event for which we are not adequately or sufficiently insured, or changes in our insurance
policies (including premium increases or the imposition of deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an
adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, we
cannot assure you that renewal of our insurance policies in the normal course of our business will be granted in a
timely manner, at an acceptable cost or at all.
43. We have entered into, and will continue to enter into, related-party transactions which may potentially involve
conflicts of interest.
We have in the past entered into transactions with several related parties. For further details in relation to our related
party transactions for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, see “Summary of the Issue Document – Summary of Related Party
Transactions” and “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 46-:Related Party Disclosures” on pages
21 and F-30, respectively.
While we believe that all such related party transactions that we have entered into have been conducted at arm's
length with approvals from the Audit Committee, the Board and/or our shareholders, as applicable, and in
accordance with applicable laws, we cannot assure you these arrangements or any future related party transactions
that we may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The transactions we have entered into and any future
transactions with our related parties may have involved or could potentially involve conflicts of interest which may
be detrimental to our Company. After the completion of the Issue, all related-party transactions that our Company
may enter into will be subject to Audit Committee, Board or shareholder approval, as may be required under the
Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations. We cannot assure you that such approvals will be received
in a timely manner or at all. Further, we cannot assure you that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate,
will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or that our Company could not
have undertaken such transactions on more favorable terms with any unrelated parties or that any dispute that may
arise between us and related parties will be resolved in our favor.
44. Our Directors do not have prior experience of holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock Exchanges.
Our Directors do not have any prior experience in holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock Exchanges.
Our Board members have relevant experience in their respective fields, which benefits the Company, in strategizing
the direction and vision of the Company.
Our Company will also be subject to compliance requirements under the SEBI Listing Regulations and other
applicable law post listing of the Equity Share on the Stock Exchange. Our Board is capable of efficiently managing
such compliance requirements by engaging professionals having expertise in managing such compliances.
45. We cannot assure that the construction of our projects will be free from any or all defects, which may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Actual or claimed defects in construction quality during the construction of our projects, could give rise to claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses. Further, we may not be able to recover such increased costs from our project
customers in part, or at all, for any defects observed in the projects or damage caused to the project on account of
the fault of our workers. We may further face slight delays in the estimated project completion schedule in respect
of such projects on account of additional works required to be undertaken towards rectifying such construction
faults, and we may have to appoint additional workforce and resources in order to complete the project within the
pre-determined time period, which may result in increased expenditure for our Company, which we may not be able
to pass on to our project customers. While any of the aforementioned events which could materially impact our
projects or business operations, have not occurred in the past, however we cannot assure you that any claims in
respect of the quality of our construction will not arise in the future and would not affect our business or financial
condition. While we have not had any instance in the Financial Years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and
March 31, 2023, in the event any material events which bring the quality of our services could impact our eligibility
to bid for projects may be affected, or in the event any defects in our construction trigger the extreme circumstances
leading to termination or affect public interest, could lead to termination of our contracts blacklisting and therefore
could adversely affect our business operations and result of operations.
53We seek protection through our practice of covering risks through arbitration, contractual limitations of liability,
indemnities and insurance. However, there can be no assurance that any cost escalation or additional liabilities in
connection with the development of such projects would be fully offset by amounts due to us pursuant to the
guarantees and indemnities, if any, provided by our contractors or insurance policies that we maintain. While there
have not been any material events which have led us to claim coverage from our insurance policies, however, any
liability in excess of our insurance payments, reserves or backup guarantee could result in additional costs, which
would reduce our profits. Further, such construction faults may result in loss of goodwill and reputation and may
furthermore have a material and adverse impact on our eligibility in respect of future bids made by us towards
projects, thereby affecting our future operations and revenues.
In addition, if there is a customer dispute regarding our performance, the customer may delay or withhold payment
to us. If we were ultimately unable to collect these payments, our profits would be reduced. While there have not
been any such instances in the past, however, these claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, if not fully covered, thus
could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
46. The COVID 19 pandemic, or any future pandemic or widespread public health emergency, could impact our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The COVID 19 pandemic has had a significant global impact, with government authorities taking several responsive
measures such as instituting quarantines, restricting travel, issuing "stay-at-home" orders and restricting the types
of businesses that may continue to operate, among many others. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
business included:
Any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease may adversely impact our business, financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations. Further, it may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the
other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.
47. If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls and compliances, our
businesses and reputation could be adversely affected.
We manage our internal compliance by monitoring and evaluating internal controls and taking reasonable steps to
maintain appropriate procedures for relevant statutory and regulatory compliances. As risks evolve and develop,
internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining internal controls requires human diligence and
is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any such errors can affect the
accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and a decline in the price of the Equity
Shares. We cannot assure you that deficiencies in our internal controls will not arise, or that we will be able to
implement, and continue to maintain, adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal
controls, in a timely manner or at all, which may have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial
condition.
48. Our Promoter will continue to retain a majority shareholding in our Company after the Issue, which will allow
them to exercise significant influence over us.
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoter are expected to hold 53.07 % of our outstanding total issued and
paid-up Equity Share capital. Further, the involvement of our Promoter in our operations, including through strategy,
direction and customer relationships have been integral to our development and business.
Accordingly, our Promoter will continue to exercise significant influence over our business and all matters requiring
shareholders' approval, including the composition of our Board of Directors, the adoption of amendments to our
constitutional documents, the approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or joint ventures or the sales of
substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, investments and capital expenditures. This
concentration of ownership may also delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our Company and may
make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of our Promoter. Further, the Promoters'
shareholding may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control. The interests of our Promoter, as our Company's
controlling shareholder, could conflict with our Company's interests, your interests or the interests of our other
shareholders. There is no assurance that our Promoter will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our Company's
or your favor.
49. For our business, we rely heavily on our Promoter namely, Goutam Debnath, who is the Chairman and
Managing Director. Our business performance may have an adverse effect by his departure or by our failure to
recruit or keep them.
54Our Promoter namely Goutam Debnath, who is the Chairman and Managing Director of the Company, is in charge
of our day-to-day operations, strategy, and business expansion. He is also responsible for the execution of our
business plan. The Promoter has been a part of our Company since a decade and it may be challenging to find a
suitable replacement for our promoter director in a timely and economical manner if they are unable to continue in
their current roles. Our ability to keep the promoter director on board cannot be guaranteed. Our ability to grow,
execute our strategy, build brand awareness, raise capital, make strategic decisions, and oversee the day-to-day
operations of our business could be hampered by the loss of our promoter director or our inability to find suitable
replacement. Further, there could be a materially negative effect on our operations, financial position, cash flows,
and business.
50. Our Promoter has provided personal guarantees as security for certain facilities availed by our Company. If these
guarantees are revoked, we may be unable to procure alternative guarantees satisfactory to our lenders, which
may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
Our Promoter, Goutam Debnath has provided personal guarantees as security for certain facilities availed by our
Company, which amounted to ₹ 8,928.00 lakhs as on March 31, 2025. The table below sets forth details of the
personal guarantees provided by our Promoter, Goutam Debnath:
Guarantee Guarantee issued Guarantee Amount

If any of the above-mentioned guarantees are revoked, our lenders may require alternative guarantees or cancel such
facilities, entailing repayment of amounts outstanding under such facilities. If we are unable to procure alternative
guarantees satisfactory to our lenders, we may need to seek alternative sources of capital, which may not be available
to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all, or to agree to more onerous terms under our financing agreements,
which may limit our operational flexibility. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition may be adversely affected by the revocation of all or any of the guarantees provided by our Promoter
Goutam Debnath, in connection with our Company's borrowings. For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness”
on page 177.
51. Certain of our Directors, Promoter and Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management may
have interests in us other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits.
Certain of our Directors, Promoter, Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior Management Personnel may
be regarded as having an interest in our Company other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal
remuneration, commission or benefits. Certain Directors and Promoter may be deemed to be interested to the extent
of Equity Shares, as applicable, held by them and by members of our Promoter Group, to the extent applicable, as
well as to the extent of any dividends, bonuses or other distributions on such Equity Shares. Certain of our directors
and promoter are interested in the promotion of our Company. For further details, see “Capital Structure”, “Our
Promoter and Promoter Group” and “Our Management” on pages 82, 166 and 151, respectively.
The borrowings availed by our Company from certain lenders are secured by the guarantees provided by our
Promoter. Any default or failure by us to repay our loans in a timely manner or at all could trigger repayment
obligations on the part of our Promoter, in respect of such loans. This could have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operation, and financial condition. We may not be successful in procuring guarantees to supplement or
substitute the guarantees provided by our Promoter in a manner satisfactory to the lenders, and as a result may need
to repay outstanding amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which could affect our
business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
52. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Issue Price of the
Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares upon listing on the Stock Exchanges.
55The determination of the Price Band and discount, if any, will be based on various factors and assumptions, and will
be determined by our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager. Furthermore, the Issue Price
of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager
through the Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including those described under
“Basis for Issue Price” on page 104, and may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares upon listing
on the Stock Exchanges.
The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends,
financial performance and results of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot
assure you that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide
any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
53. We have availed unsecured loans that may be recalled at any time. Further, we have not received consent from
one of the relevant lenders in relation to the Issue.
As of March 31, 2025, we have availed unsecured facilities aggregating to ₹ 2,551.81 lakhs which are availed from
the Directors, related parties and others. Our unsecured loans, including working capital loans, can typically be
recalled at any time at the option of the lender. There can be no assurance that the lenders will not recall such
borrowings or if we will be able to repay loans advanced to us in a timely manner or at all. In the event that any
lender seeks a repayment of any such loan, we would need to find alternative sources of financing, which may not
be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, if such unsecured loans are recalled at any
time, it may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We have not received consent from consent from one of the relevant lenders in relation to the Issue.
54. Our Directors and Promoter may enter into ventures which are in businesses similar to ours.
The interests of our Directors or Promoter may not align with the interests of our other Shareholders due to their
involvement in other ventures which are in businesses similar to ours or that may compete with our business or may
benefit from preferential treatments when doing business with our Company. Our Directors, or Promoter, as
applicable, may, for business considerations or otherwise, in transactions with other ventures where they have interest,
cause our Company to take actions, or refrain from taking actions, in order to benefit themselves instead of our
Company’s interests or the interests of its other Shareholders and which may be harmful to our Company’s interests
or the interests of our other Shareholders, which may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
As a result, conflicts of interest may arise when we sell our solutions to such Promoter Group at lower prices or give
it any other form of preferential treatment. There can be no assurance that our Promoter or any company controlled
by our Promoter will not enter into businesses similar to ours or compete with our existing business or any future
business that we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours. Any such present and future
conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
External Risk Factors
55. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could adversely affect the
financial markets and our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires,
explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could
adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence or war may adversely affect the Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in international
relations, especially between India and its neighboring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional
stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition, India has witnessed local civil
disturbances in recent years, and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic or
political events in India could have an adverse effect on our business. Such incidents could also create a greater
perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on
our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.
5656. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business, cash
flows and results of operations.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and
market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which we
operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our solutions may be
adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. Our results of operations are
significantly affected by factors influencing the Indian economy. Economic growth in India is affected by various
factors including:
• domestic consumption and savings, and prevailing income conditions among consumers and corporations in
India;
• any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;
• political instability, terrorism or military conflict in India or in countries in the region or globally, including in
India’s various neighboring countries;
• any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse impact on economic conditions in India
and scarcity of financing for our expansions;
• volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on India’s principal stock exchanges;
• changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies;
• balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports (oil and oil products);
• any downgrading of India’s debt rating by a domestic or international rating agency;
• financial instability in financial markets;
• global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis and volatility in exchange currency rates; and
• other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its flexible workspace industry.
Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. Also, a change in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies
could adversely affect economic conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our business in
particular and high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our
revenues, and as such decrease our operating margins. Any of the abovementioned factors could affect our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
57. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the
Competition Act could in turn adversely affect our business and cash flows.
The Competition Act was enacted for the purpose of preventing practices that have or are likely to have an adverse
effect on competition in India and has mandated the Competition Commission of India to regulate such practices.
Under the Competition Act, any arrangement, understanding or action, whether formal or informal, which causes or
is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition is void and attracts substantial penalties.
Further, any agreement among competitors which, directly or indirectly, involves determination of purchase or sale
prices, limits or controls production, or shares the market by way of geographical area or number of subscribers in
the relevant market is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect in the relevant market in India and shall be
void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. On March 4, 2011, the
Central Government notified and brought into force the Competition Commission of India (Procedure in regard to
the transaction of business relating to combinations) Regulations (“Combination Regulations”) under the
Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. The Combination Regulations require acquisitions of shares, voting
rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based thresholds
to be mandatorily notified to, and pre-approved by, the Competition Commission of India. Additionally, on May 11,
2011, the Competition Commission of India issued the Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction
of Business Relating to Combinations) Regulations, 2011, which sets out the mechanism for implementation of the
merger control regime in India. The Competition Act aims to, among other things, prohibit all agreements and
transactions which may have an appreciable adverse effect in India. Consequently, all agreements entered into by us
could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the Competition Commission of India has
extraterritorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside of
India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an appreciable adverse effect in India.
57However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be
predicted with certainty at this stage. We do not have any outstanding notices in relation to non- compliance with
the Competition Act or the agreements entered into by us.
The Government of India has also passed the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023, which has proposed several
amendments to the Competition Act, such as introduction of deal value thresholds for assessing whether a merger
or acquisition qualifies as a “combination”, expedited merger review timelines, codification of the lowest standard
of “control” and enhanced penalties for providing false information or a failure to provide material information.
However, if we are affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the
Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the Competition Commission of India, or any adverse
publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the Competition Commission of India or if any
prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business and
cash flows.
58. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws, may
adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change.
Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations
including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed
to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. For instance, the Supreme
Court of India has in a decision clarified the components of basic wages which need to be considered by companies while
making provident fund payments, which resulted in an increase in the provident fund payments to be made by
companies. Any such decisions in future or any further changes in interpretation of laws may have an impact on our
results of operations.
Further, any future amendments may affect our tax benefits such as exemptions for income earned by way of dividend
from investments in other domestic companies and units of mutual funds, exemptions for interest received in respect
of tax-free bonds, and long-term capital gains on equity shares. The Government of India has announced the union budget
for Fiscal 2026, and the Finance Act, 2025 was tabled before the Lok Sabha, which has proposed certain amendments to
taxation laws in India. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on
our business. We cannot predict whether the amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act, 2025 would have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, future cash flows and results of operations.
Furthermore, changes in capital gains tax or tax on capital market transactions or the sale of shares could affect investor
returns. As a result, any such changes or interpretations could have an adverse effect on our business and financial
performance.
We cannot predict the impact of any changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of, new laws, rules,
and regulations applicable to us and our business. Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the
promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business
and operations could result in us, our business, operations, or group structure being deemed to be in contravention of such
laws and/or may require us to apply for additional approvals. We may incur increased costs and expend resources relating
to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time, and any failure to
comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability,
interpretation, or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by
reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly
for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the
future.
59. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents
are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other exceptions), if they comply with the
pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If a transfer of shares, which are sought to be
transferred, is not in compliance with such requirements and fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI,
then the RBI’s prior approval is required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale
of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax
58clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that any required approval from
the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been
incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Rules, investments where the beneficial owner of the equity
shares is situated in or is a citizen of a country which shares a land border with India, can only be made through the
Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA
Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity
in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview,
such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. These
investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. We cannot assure investors
that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained on any particular terms
or conditions or at all. For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page
260.
60. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including
in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other
countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian
company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.
61. We cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future.
Our Company adopted a formal dividend policy on September 21, 2024. Our Company has not declared dividends
on the Equity Shares during the last three Fiscals until the date of this Prospectus.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future results of operations, financial condition, cash
flows, sufficient profitability, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements and other factors
considered relevant by our Directors and Shareholders. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of
dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on factors that our Board deems relevant, including
among others, profitable growth of our Company and specifically profits earned during the relevant fiscal, earning
stability and outlook, past dividend pattern, cash flow position of our Company, capital expenditure to be incurred by
our Company, accumulated reserves, statutory requirements like transfer to statutory reserve fund, liquidity position
of our Company including its working capital requirements and debt servicing obligations. In addition, our ability to
pay dividends may be impacted by a number of factors such as economic environment, changes in the Government
policies, industry specific rulings and regulatory provisions, industry outlook for the future years, and inflation rate.
Our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted under certain financing arrangements that we may enter into. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends on the Equity Shares at any point in the future. For details
pertaining to our dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page 173.
62. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and after the Issue, the Equity Shares may experience price
and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. Further, the Issue
Price may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market for our Equity
Share on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and quotation do not guarantee
that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
Furthermore, the Issue Price of the Equity Shares will be determined through the Book Building Process. These will
be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for Issue Price” on page 104 and may not
be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Issue.
For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Price information and the track record of the past
issues handled by the Book Running Lead Manager” commencing on page 200. The market price of the Equity Shares
may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, the failure of security analysts to cover
the Equity Shares after this Issue, or changes in the estimates of our performance by analysts, the activities of
competitors and suppliers, future sales of the Equity Shares by our Company or our shareholders, variations in our
operating results of our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India,
volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators,
variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory
59factors. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop, or sustained trading will take place in the Equity
Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
In addition, the stock market often experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate
to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations and industry factors may
materially reduce the market price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our Company’s performance. There can be no
assurance that the investor will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
63. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising from distribution of dividend and sale of the
Equity Shares.
Under the current Indian tax laws and regulations, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of
equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied both
at the time of transfer and acquisition of the equity shares (unless exempted under a prescribed notification), and the
STT is collected by an Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. Any gain realized on the sale of equity
shares held for more than 12 months, are subject to long term capital gains tax in India at specified rates, depending on
certain factors, such as STT paid, the quantum of gains and any available treaty exemptions.
The Finance (No. 2) Bill, 2024 (“the Finance Bill”), which has received the President’s assent on August 16, 2024,
seeks to amend certain sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961, with effect from July 23, 2024. Accordingly, long term
capital gains exceeding the exempted limit of ₹125,000 arising from the sale of listed equity shares on the stock
exchange are subject to tax at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Unrealized capital gains earned
on listed equity shares up to January 31, 2018 continue to be tax-exempted in such cases. Further, STT will be levied
and collected by an Indian stock exchange if the equity shares are sold on a stock exchange. With respect to capital
gains arising in anoff market sale, long term capital gains are subject to tax at the rate of 10% (plus applicable surcharge
and cess) without the exemption of ₹100,000.
Further, any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately
preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Short-term capital gains, arising
from the sale of such equity shares on a stock exchange would be subject to tax at the rate of 15% (plus applicable
surcharge and cess) for transfers taking place before July 23, 2024. However, per the amendment sought by the Finance
Bill, short-term capital gains will be taxed at 20% for transfers taking place after July 23, 2024.
The Finance Act, 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 with effect from July 1, 2020. It clarified that, in the
absence of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through
stock exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus
will be on the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures, is specified at 0.015% (on a
delivery basis) and 0.003% (on a non-delivery basis) of the consideration amount. As such, there is no certainty on the
effect that the Finance Act, 2019 may have on our business and operations.
In cases where the seller is a non-resident, capital gains arising from the sale of the equity shares will be partially or
wholly exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty
between India and the country of which the seller is resident. Historically, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability
to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their
own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the equity shares.
Additionally, the Finance Act, 2020 does not require dividend distribution tax to be payable in respect of dividends
declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, such dividends would not
be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident and are likely be subject to tax
deduction at source. Our Company may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident
shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at the source from such dividend. Investors should consult their own tax
advisors about the consequences of investing or trading in our Equity Shares.
We cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations impacting our business and operations will be enacted or
predict the nature and impact of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations would have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
6064. Future issuances or sales of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities could
adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Our future issuances of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by us
(including under employee stock option plans) or the disposal of Equity Shares by our Promoter or any of our other
principal shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum
public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India, may significantly affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our securities. There can be no assurance that we will
not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber the Equity
Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your investment in our Company.
65. Fluctuation in the exchange rate of the Rupee and other currencies could have an adverse effect on the value of
our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
Subject to requisite approvals, on listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any
dividends, if declared, in respect of our Equity Shares will be paid in Rupees and subsequently converted into the
relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in exchange rates during the time that it
takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to such investors. In addition, any adverse movement
in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example,
because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may reduce the net proceeds
received by shareholders.
The exchange rate of the Rupee has changed substantially in the last two decades and could fluctuate substantially
in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Equity Shares and returns from the Equity
Shares, independent of our operating results.
66. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase
in the Issue.
Subject to requisite approvals, the Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian
laws, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may
commence. Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be
credited within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges. The
Allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with
depository participant could take approximately two Working Days from the Bid / Issue Closing Date and trading in
the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to
commence within three Working Days of the Bid/ Issue Closing Date. There could be a failure or delay in listing of
the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval or otherwise commence
trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can be no
assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares
will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could also be required to pay interest at the
applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors
within the prescribed time periods. For further details, see “Issue Procedure” on page 229.
67. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measure (ASM) and Graded Surveillance Measures (GSM) by the Stock Exchanges in order to
enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures in order to enhance market
integrity and safeguard the interests of investors, including ASM and GSM. ASM and GSM are imposed on securities of
companies based on various objective criteria such as significant variations in price and volume, concentration of certain
client accounts as a percentage of combined trading volume, average delivery, securities which witness abnormal
price rise not commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net
worth, price / earnings multiple and market capitalization.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors
which may result in high volatility in price, low trading volumes, and a large concentration of client accounts as a
percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors
or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our
securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which could result in significant
restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may
include requiring higher margin requirements, requirement of settlement on a trade for trade basis without netting off,
61limiting trading frequency, reduction of applicable price band, requirement of settlement on gross basis or freezing of
price on upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the
Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on market
price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company.
68. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of us because of the anti-takeover provisions under
Indian law
There are provisions in Indian law that may discourage a third party from attempting to take control over us, even
if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or would
otherwise be beneficial to you. Under the Takeover Regulations an acquirer has been defined as any person who,
directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether
individually or acting in concert with others. These provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of
transactions involving an actual or threatened change in control of us.
Issue Related Risks:
69. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of
Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid and Retail Individual Investors are not
permitted to withdraw their Bids after Bid/issue Closing Date
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or
lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail
Individual Investors can revise or withdraw their Bids during the Bid/ Issue Period. While our Company is required
to complete Allotment pursuant to the Issue within such period as may be prescribed under applicable law, events
affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national
monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operation or financial condition
may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of
the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares
Allotted pursuant to the Issue or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
70. We cannot assure you that our Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE SME in a timely manner or at all, which
may restrict your ability to dispose of the equity shares.
Though we shall make best of our efforts to comply with all applicable regulatory, financial and operational
requirements for getting the equity shares proposed to be Issued through this Prospectus listed on SME platform of
BSE Limited in a time bound manner, yet on account of any change in applicable laws, economic conditions and/or
any other reason/s beyond our control, the said shares may not get listed on the BSE SME in a timely manner or at
all, which may restrict your ability to dispose of the equity shares. However, even in such circumstances, the
company shall stay fully committed to pay such interest and/or refund the full application amount, as may be
required in accordance with the applicable regulatory directives.
71. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholdings, and sale of the Equity Shares by our major
shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Any future equity issuances by our Company may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company.
In addition, any sale of substantial Equity Shares in the public market after the completion of this Issue, including
by our major shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of
the Equity Shares and could significantly impair our future ability to raise capital through offerings of the Equity
Shares. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of the Equity Shares held by the major shareholders of
our Company or the availability of these Equity Shares for future sale will have on the market price of our Equity
Shares.
72. Our Company is subject to foreign exchange control regulations and foreign currency transactions which can
pose a risk of currency fluctuations.
Our Company is involved in business transactions with international clients and has conducted the same in
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed under FEMA. Further, our international operations make us
62susceptible to the risk of currency fluctuations, which may directly affect our operating results. In case we are unable
to adhere to the timelines prescribed under the applicable laws or are unable to mitigate the risk of currency
fluctuation, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

The funding requirements mentioned above are based on management estimates and current business plans. However,
such fund requirements and deployment of funds have not been appraised by any bank, financial institution or any other
external agency. We may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment on account of a variety of factors, such
as our financial and market condition, business and strategy, competition, negotiation with customers and vendors,
outstanding Order Book, variation in cost estimates on account of various factors and other external factors, which may
not be within the control of our management. This may entail rescheduling or revising the planned utilisation of net and
funding proceeds at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable laws. For details, see ‘Risk
Factors - Objects of the Fresh Issue for which the funds are being raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institutions. Any variation in the utilization of our Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Prospectus would be subject to certain
compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders' approval.’ commencing on page 29 of this Prospectus.
98If the estimated utilization of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled financial year is not completely met, due to reasons stated
above, the same shall be utilised in the next financial year, as may be determined by our Company, in accordance with
applicable laws. Subject to applicable laws, in the event of any increase in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for
the purposes set forth above, such additional funds for a particular activity will be met by way of means available to us,
including from internal accruals and any additional equity and/or debt arrangements. Our management expects that such
alternate means would be available to fund any such shortfall. Further, if the actual utilisation towards the Object is lower
than the proposed deployment, such balance will be used for future growth opportunities and towards general corporate
purposes to the extent that the total amount to be utilised towards general corporate purposes will not exceed 15% of the
Gross Proceeds or 10 crore whichever is less in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Means of Finance
The fund requirements set out above are proposed to be entirely funded from the Net Proceeds, working capital loans
and internal accruals. Accordingly, we confirm that there are no requirements to make firm arrangements of finance
under Regulation 230(1)(e) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In case of shortfall in the Net Proceeds or any increase in the
actual utilisation of funds earmarked for the Objects, our Company may explore a range of options including utilizing
our internal accruals, any additional equity and/or debt arrangements.
Details of the Objects of this Issue
1. To meet long-term working capital requirements
We fund a majority of our working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business from various banks, unsecured
loan and internal accruals. Our Company requires additional working capital for funding its incremental working capital
requirements and unlocking the internal accruals deployed in working capital. The funding of the incremental working
capital requirements will lead to a consequent increase in our profitability, ability to utilize internal accruals for growth
opportunities and achieving the proposed targets as per our business plan.
Basis of estimation of working capital requirement
Our Company proposes to utilize ₹ 3,702.60 Lakhs of the Net Proceeds in Fiscal 2026 and 2027 respectively towards our
Company’s working capital requirements. The balance portion of our Company’s working capital requirement shall be
met from the working capital facilities availed and internal accruals.
The details of our Company’s working capital for Fiscal 2027, Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 and
the source of funding, derived based on consolidated restated financial statements of our Company are provided in the

Work-in-progress Days 48 62 99 187 142
3 Trade Payables Days 86 111 196 191 222
Note:
1. Holding period level (in days) of Trade Receivables is calculated by dividing average trade receivables by revenue
from operations multiplied by number of days in the year/period.
2. Holding period level (in days) of Inventories is calculated by dividing average inventories by cost of goods sold
(including raw material consumed and change in inventories) multiplied by number of days in the year/period.
3. Holding period level (in days) of Trade Payables is calculated by dividing average trade payables by sum of raw
material consumed, change in inventories, job work charges multiplied by number of days in the year/period.
Justification for holding period levels:
Inventories As an EPC company, our inventory primarily consists of project-specific materials in transit,
fabricated items awaiting delivery, work-in-progress (WIP) at fabrication yards, and goods
stored at sites pending installation or commissioning. Industry norms dictate that 10–15% of
a project’s value typically remains in WIP at any given time, and such inventory remains
unbilled until physical progress or client inspections trigger invoice milestones. Additionally,
our operating model experiences a natural billing lag of 60–90 days post material
procurement, largely driven by client-side scheduling and site readiness. For instance, in one
of our ongoing PSU projects, delays in site access by the client led to materials being
temporarily held in storage or at fabrication sites. This contributed to an interim build-up in
inventory levels, which is fully billable and recoverable in subsequent stages, aligning with
future revenue recognition. For Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027, considering the size of order
book, projected activity schedule and various factors involved in the execution of projects
and processing bills thereto such as site inspection and confirmation, we anticipate decrease
in inventory days.
Trade Receivables
The trade receivables days for the year witnessed a temporary elevation primarily due to
large-scale billings concentrated in the final quarter of the financial year which considerably
increased the outstanding receivables as on the reporting date. During Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal
1002025, the increase in Trade Receivables is attributable to execution of projects and billing to
respective clients.
However, during Fiscal 2024, the Company achieved a notable reduction in receivable days
owing to several large-scale projects reached billing milestones and closure phases towards
the start for final quarter i.e. January, enabling the issuance of final invoices and the
realization of long-pending dues. For Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027, we anticipate a further
rationalisation of receivable days as we increase effective management of account
receivables.
Trade Payables The fluctuation in trade payable days is mainly due to seasonal procurement trends. A
considerable portion of our annual procurement occurs between October and February, in
anticipation of peak billing in Q4, resulting in a higher accounts payable balance toward the
year-end. While we are required to make advance payments for mechanical equipment,
purchases of civil construction materials generally benefit from a standard 90-day credit
period. Payments to sub-contractors follow milestone-linked schedules rather than fixed
credit periods, with 10%–15% of payment typically held as retention money until completion
of defined project stages. This retention also remains part of trade payables until associated
works are completed and certified, consistent with industry practice and contractual
obligations. During Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024, the Company has witnessed increase in
work-in-progress in Q4, which further led to elevated payable days. For Fiscal 2026 and
Fiscal 2027, considering the project execution timelines, we anticipate decrease in payable
days.
Other Current Other Current Assets basically include Cash & Cash Equivalents, fixed deposit with banks
Assets and other loans and advances. All these current assets are expected to change in correlation
with the level of operations and profit of the Company.
Other Current Other Liabilities mainly include statutory liabilities. Other current liabilities are estimated
Liabilities based on previous years outstanding amount and for expected Business requirement of
Company.
Short-term Short-term provisions mainly include Provision for income tax. Short-term provisions are
provisions estimated based on previous years outstanding amount and for expected Business requirement
of Company.
Key justification for projected working capital requirements:
During the last two fiscals, the company has registered steady year-on-year growth in revenue from operations. The
revenues from operations have grown by 31.20% in Fiscal 2024 and 32.10% in Fiscal 2025. This growth is largely driven
by the continuous ramp-up of the company’s project execution capabilities. The working capital requirement of our
Company is expected to increase by ₹ 4,639.39 lakhs or by 57.13% from ₹ 8,121.36 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 12,760.75
lakhs in Fiscal 2026 and expected to increase by ₹ 1,192.03 lakhs or by 9.34% from ₹ 12,760.75 lakhs in Fiscal 2026 to
₹ 13,952.78 lakhs in Fiscal 2027 on account of expected increase in revenue as per the current order book of our Company
as well as new order book expected to be received during the Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027.
The working capital requirements of our Company are estimated for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027, based on the project
completion/execution plan and following assumptions:
• Current Order Book: Our Company will continue to focus on penetration into Tripura state by bidding more projects
in Oil & Gas and Specialised projects vertical. This is in line with Govt’s proposed allocation to Oil & Gas sector in
the state of Tripura. We have a strong pipeline of ongoing and upcoming projects, which will drive growth in the
coming years. As of April 09, 2025, our Company has completed work amounting to ₹ 20,362.74 lakhs and our
ongoing order book is at ₹ 45,299.61 lakhs as on April 09, 2025.
• Margin money for performance guarantees: As part of our business, our Company is required to provide financial
and performance bank guarantees in favour of its clients under the respective contracts in relation to the projects.
For projects, our Company typically issues bank guarantees to respective clients which enter into contractual
arrangements with our Company.
• Future Order Book: Our Company is continuously working to bid for new orders, and it requires working capital to
execute these projects subject to allotment of letter of intent. The availability of working capital also provides
strength for our Company for bidding new projects.
• Receivables: Our substantial business is dependent on government-controlled entities including central and state
government entities wherein the realization of payment from the clients may take some time due to operational
101reasons of the respective clients.
General Corporate Purposes
In terms of Regulation 230(2) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the extent of the Issue Proceeds proposed to be used for
general corporate purposes must not exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds or 10 Crore whichever is less. Our Board will
have flexibility in applying the balance amount towards part or full repayment/prepayment of outstanding borrowings,
meeting our working capital requirements, capital expenditure, funding our growth opportunities, including strategic
initiatives, meeting expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business including salaries and wages, administration
expenses, insurance related expenses, meeting of exigencies which our Company may face in course of business and any
other purpose as may be approved by the Board or a duly appointed committee from time to time.
The quantum of utilisation of funds towards any of the purposes will be determined by the Board or a duly appointed
committee, based on the amount available under this head and the business requirements of our Company, from time to
time. Our management, in response to the competitive and dynamic nature of our industry and business, will have
flexibility in utilizing any amounts for general corporate purposes under the overall guidance and policies of our Board.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK Growth performance and forecasts (percent)
The global outlook is becoming increasingly
challenging. Substantial increases in barriers to
trade, tighter financial conditions, weaker
business and consumer confidence and
heightened policy uncertainty will all have
marked adverse effects on growth prospects if they
persist. Higher trade costs, especially in
countries raising tariffs, will also push up
inflation, although their impact will be offset
partially by weaker commodity prices. Global
GDP growth is projected to slow from 3.3% in
2024 to 2.8% in 2025 and 3% in 2026. Most emerging-market economies generally continued to expand at a solid pace
in the first quarter of 2025. In China, growth slowed a little but remained resilient, supported by expansionary fiscal and
monetary policy and rapid export growth. There were also ongoing expansions in India, Indonesia and several Latin
American economies, including Chile and Colombia.
World oil demand:
Global oil demand in 2025 is expected to grow by 1.3 mb/d, y-o-y, unchanged from last month’s assessment. Some minor
adjustments were made in 1Q25, mainly due to the receipt of actual data. In the OECD, oil demand is expected to expand
by about 0.1 mb/d, while non-OECD demand is forecast to increase by about 1.2 mb/d in 2025. In 2026, world oil demand
is projected to rise by 1.3 mb/d, y-o-y, also unchanged from last month’s assessment. The OECD is anticipated to grow
by around 0.1 mb/d, y-o-y, in 2026, while demand in the non-OECD is expected to increase by about 1.2 mb/d, y-o-y.
Crude Oil Price Movement World select energy prices Global trade
Growth Forecast for Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs):
For emerging market and developing economies, growth is projected to drop to 3.7 percent in 2025 and 3.9 percent in
2026. Growth in emerging and developing Asia is expected to decline further to 4.5 percent in 2025 and 4.6 percent in
1142026. Emerging and developing Asia, particularly Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, has been
among the most affected by the April 2025 tariffs. For India, the growth outlook is relatively more stable at 6.2 percent
in 2025, supported by private consumption, particularly in rural areas.

INDIAN ECONOMY OUTLOOK
India’s Real GDP registered a CAGR of 5.9% between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2024
The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) at constant prices increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
5.9% to Rs 173.8 trillion in fiscal 2024 from Rs 87.4 trillion in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2022, the economy recovered from
the pandemic-related stress as restrictions were eased and economic activity resumed, though inflation spiralled in the
last quarter due to geopolitical pressures, with a real GDP growth of 9.7% vs -5.8% in fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2023, real
GDP rose 7.0% on strong growth momentum propelled by investments and private consumption. The share of private
consumption in GDP rose to a 11-year high of 58.0%. During the same period the investments occupied a share of 33.3%
in GDP.
India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies, with an expected GDP growth of 6.5% in FY2024-25. The
growth is fuelled by robust domestic demand, infrastructure expansion, and a favorable policy environment. The
country’s energy demand is set to grow by 5% annually, with oil and gas accounting for a significant share of
consumption.
115Indian Oil & Gas Industry
India’s oil demand by main petroleum product India’s oil demand, y-o-y change
category, y-o-y change
India holds a significant position in the global oil and gas industry due to its large and growing energy market. Here’s an
overview of India's standing and key aspects in this sector:
Consumption and Import
▪ Energy Consumer Rank: India is the third-largest consumer of oil and gas globally, after the United States and
China.
▪ Import Dependency: Over 85% of its crude oil requirements and about 50% of its natural gas are met through
imports, making it one of the largest importers of crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Production
▪ Oil Production: India ranks among the top 20 oil producers globally. However, its domestic production is
limited, contributing to its high dependence on imports.
▪ Natural Gas Production: India has significant natural gas reserves and is investing in increasing production,
particularly in the Krishna-Godavari Basin and other offshore fields.
Reserves
▪ Oil Reserves: India has proven oil reserves of around 4.5 billion barrels (2023 data), which is relatively modest
compared to major oil-producing nations.
▪ Natural Gas Reserves: It has proven natural gas reserves estimated at approximately 1.3 trillion cubic meters.
Refining Capacity
116▪ India has one of the largest refining capacities globally, ranking 4th in the world. It is a net exporter of refined
petroleum products and a regional refining hub.
India is focusing on increasing the share of renewable energy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels as part of
its climate commitments. The government has launched initiatives like the Open Acreage Licensing Policy
(OALP) to attract investment in oil and gas exploration and significant investments are being made in pipelines,
LNG terminals, and city gas distribution networks to enhance domestic energy access.

INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
In recent years the demand for natural gas in India has increased significantly due to its higher availability, development
of transmission and distribution infrastructure, the savings from the usage of natural gas in place of alternate fuels, the
environment friendly characteristics of natural gas as a fuel and the overall favourable economics of supplying gas at
reasonable prices to end consumers. Power and Fertilizer sector remain the two biggest contributors to natural gas demand
in India and continue to account for more than 55% of gas consumption. India can be divided into six major regional
natural gas markets namely Northern, Western, Central, Southern, Eastern and North-Eastern market, out of which the
Western and Northern markets currently have the highest consumption due to better pipeline connectivity. However, with
the increasing coverage and reach of natural gas infrastructure in India, this regional imbalance is expected to get
corrected.
Further, the crucial segments where EPC industry has major role to play are energy solutions, urban solutions and
mission solutions.

Given below is a brief description of the certain relevant legislations that are currently applicable to the business carried
on by us.
Industry specific regulations:
The Electricity Act, 2003
The Electricity Act, 2003 (the “Electricity Act”) is the central legislation which covers, amongst others, generation,
transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity. The Electricity Act lays down the measures for the development
of the electricity industry and power system. These include promoting competition, protecting interests of consumers and
the supply of electricity to all areas, rationalization of electricity tariffs, ensuring transparent policies regarding subsidies,
promotion of efficient and environmentally friendly policies, the constitution of the Central Electricity Authority and
regulatory commissions and the establishment of an appellate tribunal. The Central Electricity Authority’s functions
include, inter alia, (a) specifying technical standards for construction of electrical plants, electric lines and connectivity
to the grid; (b) specifying grid standards for operation and maintenance of transmission lines; (c) advising the Central
Government on matters relating to the National Electricity Policy; and (d) advising the appropriate government and
commission on all technical matters relating to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. The Electricity
Act also provides for a Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“CERC”) and a State Electricity Regulatory
Commission (“SERC”) for each state. Among other functions, the CERC is responsible for: (a) regulating of interstate
transmission of electricity; (b) determining of tariff for inter-state transmission of electricity; (c) issuing of licenses to
function as a transmission licensee with respect to inter-state operations; and (d) specifying and enforcing standards with
respect to the quality, continuity and reliability of service by a licensee. SERCs perform similar such functions at the state
level.
Under the Electricity Act, the appropriate commission also oversees promotion of co-generation and generation of
electricity from renewable sources of energy. The SERCs under the Electricity Act are also required to promote co-
generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity
with the grid and sale of electricity to any person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a
percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution license. Pursuant to the powers granted
under the Electricity Act, various regulations and guidelines have been framed by the CERC for determination of tariff,
which include, among others, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff
Determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2017 for determination of tariff for renewable power
producers.
The Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2022 (the “Bill”) was introduced in the Lok Sabha in August 2022. The Bill proposes
radical changes in the power distribution sector, by enabling competition, strengthening payment security and providing
more powers to regulatory commissions. Further, the Bill provides for minimum tariff ceilings to avoid predatory pricing
by power distribution companies as well as a maximum price to protect consumers.
Electricity Rules, 2005
The Electricity Rules, 2005 (the “Rules”), as amended, were framed under the Electricity Act and provide the
requirements in respect of captive generating plants and generating stations. The authorities constituted under the Rules
may give appropriate directions for maintaining the availability of the transmission system of a transmission licensee.
National Electricity Policy, 2005
The GoI notified the National Electricity Policy (“NEP”) on February 12, 2005, under Section 3 of the Electricity Act.
The key objectives of the NEP are amongst other things stipulating guidelines for accelerated development of the power
sector, providing supply of electricity to all areas and protecting interests of consumers and other stakeholders. The NEP
vests the Central Transmission Utility (“CTU”) and the State Transmission Utilities (“STUs”) with the responsibility for
137transmission system planning and development on the national and regional and the intra-state levels, respectively, and
requires the CTU to coordinate with the STUs for eliminating transmission constraints in a cost-effective manner. The
NEP provides that the network expansion be planned and implemented keeping in view anticipated transmission needs
that would be incident on the system in the open access regime. The NEP encourages private investment in the
transmission sector, and states that prior agreement with Beneficiaries would not be a pre-condition for network
expansion and the CTU and STUs should undertake network expansion after identifying requirements in consultation
with stakeholders and obtaining due regulatory approvals. As per Section 3 of the Electricity Act 2003, Central Electricity
Authority has been entrusted with the responsibility of preparing the National Electricity Plan in accordance with the
NEP and to notify such plan once in five years.
Central Electricity Authority (Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023

distributing, or utilizing electricity, already connected to the supply system of the supplier or trader must be periodically
inspected and tested at intervals not exceeding five years, by the electrical inspector or a supplier directed by the relevant
State Government. In case the owner fails to rectify the defects in the installation pointed out by the electrical inspector

The accounting ratios derived from Restated Consolidated Financial Statements required to be disclosed under the
SEBI ICDR Regulations are set forth below:
Particulars March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Basic Earnings per Equity Share (in ₹) 6.65 6.37 2.83
Diluted Earnings per Equity Share (in ₹) 6.65 6.37 2.84
Return on Net Worth (in %) 20.82 17.12 19.71
Net asset value per Equity Share (in ₹) 31.89 37.22 14.40
EBITDA (₹ in lakhs) 1,807.98 989.09 346.00
Notes: The ratios on the basis of Restated Consolidated Financial Statements have been computed as below:
Basic Earnings per Equity Share (in Net profit/(loss) as restated, attributable to Shareholders divided by Weighted
₹) average number of Equity Shares outstanding during the year
Diluted Earnings per Equity Share Net profit/(loss) as restated, attributable to Shareholders divided by Weighted
(in ₹) average number of Equity Shares on diluted basis outstanding during the year.
Restated net profit after tax for the year attributable to the owners of the
Return on Net Worth (in ₹)
Company divided by Restated Net worth of the Company.
Net asset value per Equity Share Consolidated Average Net worth as restated divided Number of weighted
(in ₹) average equity shares as at per year end.
Restated profit/(loss) after tax for the respective Fiscal plus tax expenses plus
EBITDA (in ₹)

Weighted average number of Equity Shares is the number of Equity Shares outstanding at the beginning of the year
adjusted by the number of Equity Shares issued during the year multiplied by the time weighting factor. The time
weighting factor is the number of days for which the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion of total number of
days during the year.
“Net worth” means the aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and
securities premium account and debit or credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value
of the accumulated losses, deferred expenditure and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, but does not include

A plaint was filed by the Complainant against the Accused under Section 138 read with Section 141 of Negotiable

Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy- Eight Only) to the Accused. Out of the contracted amount, the Accused
repaid a total of ₹ 2,75,96,458 (Rupees Two Crores Seventy- Five Lakhs Ninety- Six Thousand Four Hundred and

2021 and 447155 dated March 31, 2021. Accordingly, the Company issued 2 (two) cheques of HDFC Bank bearing
cheque number 001625 dated July 31, 2021 for ₹ 8,91,394/- and 001626 dated July 31, 2021 for ₹18,54,326/-. The
Accused informed the Complainant not to deposit the aforesaid cheques on the due date but on the last week of
August, 2021 since the Accused was expecting funds around that time. In admission of the Accused’s liability, the
Accused made a part payment of ₹ 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs) on August 20, 2021 leaving an outstanding of
₹25,45,720/- (Rupees Twenty- Five Lakhs Forty- Five Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Only) due and
payable. Thereby, the Complainant asked the Complainant to replace the cheques but the request was neglected.
Hence, the above cheques were deposited by the Complainant with the Bank which were consequently dishonoured
and returned due to insufficient funds. The Complainant approached the Accused to honour the debt but the Accused
neglected the request. Hence, the Complainant issued the Statutory Notice dated September 6, 2021 under the N.I.
Act. The Notice was not delivered to the Accused. Accordingly, the Accused filed this plaint. The matter is currently
pending. The Company made a payment of ₹5,91,394 (Rupees Five Lakhs Ninety- One Thousand Three Hundred
and Ninety-Four) on April 05, 2022 via NEFT. Subsequently, the Complainant asked via a mail dated February 16,

SEBI has issued the UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of inter alia, equity shares and
convertibles by introducing an alternate payment mechanism using UPI. Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, the UPI
Mechanism has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking
funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under ASBA) for applications by UPI Bidders through Designated
Intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working Days
to up to three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure
complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced the UPI Mechanism
in three phases in the following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public
issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019.
Under this phase, an RIB had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the Designated Intermediary and use his/
her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be
six Working Days.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a period of three months
or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019 had extended the timeline for implementation of UPI
Phase II till March 31, 2020. Under this phase, submission of the ASBA Form by RIBs through Designated Intermediaries

Further, SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020 dated March 30, 2020 decided to continue Phase II
of UPI with ASBA until further notice.

and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023, vide SEBI circular bearing number
SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 (“T+3 Notification”). In this phase, the time duration from

260RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and
FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment
can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment
may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all
sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to
follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are
responsible for granting approval for foreign investment. The Government of India has from time to time made policy
pronouncements on foreign direct investment (“FDI”) through press notes and press releases
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India
(“DPIIT”) makes policy announcements on FDI through press notes and press releases which are notified by the RBI as
amendments to the FEMA. The DPIIT also issues the Consolidated Foreign Direct Investment Policy (“FDI Policy”)
from time to time. The regulatory framework pertaining to foreign investment, over a period of time, thus, consists of
acts, regulations, master circulars, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments.
India’s current FDI Policy issued by the DPIIT with effect from October 15, 2020, consolidates and supersedes all
previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT till October 15, 2020. All the press
notes, press releases, clarifications on FDI issued by DPIIT till October 15, 2020 stand rescinded as on October 15, 2020.
In terms of the FDI Policy, Foreign investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian companies either
through the automatic route or the Government route, depending upon the sector in which foreign investment is sought
to be made. In terms of the FDI Policy, the work of granting government approval for foreign investment under the FDI
Policy and FEMA Regulations has now been entrusted to the concerned Administrative Ministries/Departments.
In accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any
investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with
India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country
(“Restricted Investors”), will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the FDI Policy and the Foreign
Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing
or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling
within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval
of the Government. Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made a similar
amendment to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020 issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank
or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be
treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank of fund in India. Each Bidder should seek independent
legal advice about its ability to participate in the Issue. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is
required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Issue in
writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Bid/Issue Period.
Further, the existing individual and aggregate investment limits for an FPI in our Company are not exceeding 10% of the
total paid-up Equity Share capital of our Company for each FPI and the total holdings of all FPIs in the Company shall
not exceed 24% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital of our Company. The RBI, in exercise of its power under the
FEMA, has also notified Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 (“Rules”) and Foreign
Exchange Management (Mode of Payment and Reporting of Non-Debt Instruments) Regulations, 2019 to prohibit,
restrict or regulate, transfer by or issue security to a person resident outside India. SEBI registered FPIs have been
permitted to purchase shares of an Indian company through the Issue, subject to total FPI investment being within the
individual FPI/sub account investment limit of less than 10% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis
of the Company subject to the total holdings of all FPIs/sub accounts including any other direct and indirect foreign
investments in the Company shall not exceed 24% of the paid-up equity capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis.
The aggregate limit of 24% in case of FPIs may be increased up to the sectoral cap/statutory ceiling, as applicable, by the
Company concerned by passing of resolution by the Board of the Company to that effect and by passing of a special
resolution to that effect by its Shareholders. With effect from April 1, 2020, the aggregate limit of 24% has increased to
the sectoral cap applicable to the Indian Company which in case of the Company is 100% provided that the Company
complies with conditions provided under the FDI Policy. As per the Rules, the aggregate limit as provided above was
permitted to be decreased by the Company to a lower threshold limit of 24% or 49% or 74% as deemed fit, with the
approval of its Board of Directors through a resolution and also of its shareholders by means of a special resolution,
before March 31, 2020. The Company has passed no such Board Resolution and hence, has not revised its sectoral caps.
Further, eligible NRIs and OCIs investing on repatriation basis are subject to individual investment limit of 5% of the
total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis subject to the aggregate paid-value of the shares purchased by all NRIs
261and OCIs put together on repatriation basis not exceeding 10% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis
of the Company. The aggregate limit of 10% in case of NRIs and OCIs together may be raised to 24 % if a special
resolution to that effect is passed by the shareholders of the Company. The Company has passed no such shareholders’
resolution
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a Non-resident does not require prior approval of RBI, subject to
fulfillment of certain conditions as specified by DPIIT / RBI, from time to time. Such conditions include (i) the activities
of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions
of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is
within the sectoral limits under the FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by
the SEBI/RBI. Investors are advised to refer to the exact text of the relevant statutory provisions of law before investing
and / or subsequent purchase or sale transaction in the Equity Shares of our Company.
As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Issue.
As on date, under the Consolidated FDI Policy, up to 100% foreign investment under the automatic route is currently
permitted for our Company.
For further details, see “Issue Procedure” on page 229 of this RHP. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice
about its ability to participate in the Issue. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and
such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar in writing about such approval
along with a copy thereof within the Bid/IssuePeriod.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and unless so registered, may not be
issued within the United States, except pursuant to exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Equity
Shares are being issued only outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under
the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable laws of the jurisdictions where those Issues occur.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other jurisdiction
outside India and may not be issued, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such jurisdiction, except in
compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. Our Company and the BRLM are not liable for any
amendments or modification or changes in applicable laws or regulations, which may occur after the date of this
Prospectus. Bidders are advised to make their independent investigations and ensure that the Bids are not in
violation of laws or regulations applicable to them.
