Unless stated otherwise or where the context otherwise requires, the financial information and financial ratios in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from the Restated Financial Information, i.e. the Restated financial statements of the Company comprising the restated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as at March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the restated Statements of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income/(loss)), the restated Statements of Cash Flows and the Restated statement of Changes in Equity for each of the years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, and the notes comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information and notes , prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on ‘Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019)’ issued by the ICAI, as amended from time to time. For further information, see “Restated Financial Information”, “Summary of Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 291, 70, and 359, respectively.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, or ratios (excluding certain operational metrics), relating to the financial information of our Company as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 22, 217 and 359 respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of amounts derived from our Restated Financial Information.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal, and all the percentage figures have been rounded off to two decimal places including percentage figures in the sections titled “Risk Factors”, “Industry Overview” and “Our Business” on pages 22, 139 and 217 respectively.
There are significant differences between the Ind AS, the IFRS, the Indian GAAP, and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”). Our Company does not provide reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data.
Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices, the Companies Act, Ind AS and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with accounting standards in India, the Ind AS, the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI ICDR Regulations, on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, (i) the sum or percentage change of certain numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the sum of the 18numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row; any such discrepancies are due to rounding off. For further details in connection with risks involving differences between Ind AS and other accounting principles, see “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors outside India may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.” on page 59.
Further, any figures sourced from third-party industry sources may be rounded off to other than two decimal points to conform to their respective sources.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain non-GAAP measures relating to our financial and operational performance, such as Net worth, Net asset value per share, Total borrowings, Net interest income, Debt to equity ratio, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, PAT, PAT Margin, Total borrowings / Total equity, Return on Equity, Return on Capital Employed, Total Equity, Inventory holding days, Debtors holding days, Creditors holding days and Cash conversion cycle (together, “Non- GAAP Measures”), and other industry metrics relating to our operations and financial performance presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are a supplemental measure of our business, performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures and other industry metrics are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures and other industry metrics are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of similarly titled Non-GAAP Measures and other industry metrics between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measures and other industry metrics differently from us, limiting its utility as a comparative measure. These non- GAAP financial measures relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across industry. Therefore, such non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to financial measures and statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other entities in India or elsewhere. Although the Non-GAAP Measures and other industry metrics are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that it is useful to an investor in evaluating us because it is a widely used measure to evaluate a company’s operating and financial performance. For further details see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 359.

1) Our brand recognition is important for the success of our business. Our inability to maintain our brand name and its recognition could adversely affect our business, prospects and financial performance.
Our legacy brand “CONA” has an operating history of over 57 years and has maintained its market position with dedicated efforts of our Promoters. Our efforts to protect our brand name and our intellectual property rights may not be adequate, and our operations could be adversely affected. In particular, third parties could imitate our brand name including registering trademarks that may be confused with ours. We may also have to incur significant costs to remedy or manage such situations. Further, any failure to effectively prevent or enforce our rights against such infringement could adversely affect the value of our intellectual property and our ability to differentiate our products in the market.
22Our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani, pursuant to the assignment deed dated September 29, 2025, irrevocably and unconditionally assigned and transferred, 193 trademarks (of which 152 trademarks were registered) and 12 registered copyrights, along with all his rights, title, interest and benefits in connection with such intellectual property rights, together with goodwill accrued to them, for a total consideration of ₹ 0.50 million, to our Company. As at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has 153 registered trademarks under various classes of the Trademarks Act 1999, 12 registered copyrights under the Copyright Act, 1957 and 4 registered designs under the Designs Act, 2000. Additionally, we have 48 trademark applications at various stages in India, including pending applications, objections, oppositions, rectification proceedings, refusals, abandoned applications and appellate proceedings. For details, see “Our Business – Intellectual Property” beginning on page
248.
The brand “CONA” was established in the year 1968 by a third-party individual, Ram Tolani and was transferred to M/s CONA Industries, a partnership firm with our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani being one of the partners, in the year 1979. In the year 1984, following the retirement of the other partners and dissolution of the partnership firm, our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani continued the business under the name M/s CONA Industries, as a sole proprietorship concern and commenced the manufacturing of FMEG products thereunder. In the financial year 2008, our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani separated from his family business and in the year 2009, he established and promoted his brand under "Cona Original & Genuine", which was subsequently promoted under the brand name ("PM CONA"). Prakash Naraindas Motwani established a new brand while continuing to use the legacy "CONA" brand with distinct identifiers. In August 2019, Prakash Naraindas Motwani, Neelu Prakash Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani consolidated their independent operations under a private limited company, CONA Industries Private Limited, which was renamed PM CONA Industries Private Limited in February 2022. For further details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters” beginning on page
259.
Prakash Naraindas Motwani registered the trademarks “PM”, “CONA” and composite trademark “PM CONA” under Classes 9 and 11. Further, Prakash Naraindas Motwani, has opposed the trademark applications filed by Sachin Motwani (being the son of Ratan Naraindas Motwani, the Relevant Person), through his proprietorship concern M/s CONA Electrical Solutions under Classes 9 and 11, for registration of trademarks "Cona" and "Cona Electrical Solutions”, as the aforesaid trademarks are already registered in the name Prakash Naraindas Motwani under the relevant classes. The said trademark opposition proceedings are currently pending before the Registrar of Trademarks and there can be no assurance that such proceedings will be decided in our favour or within the expected timelines. In case of any adverse outcome with respect to our claims on the aforesaid trademarks, our ability to protect these trademarks from other’s use may be adversely affected, impacting our goodwill and brand reputation.
Further, if we fail to maintain our brand name and identity, which we believe is one of the principal factors that differentiate us from our competitors, we may not be able to maintain our competitive edge. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose our dealers, which would negatively affect our financial performance and profitability.
2) Significant increases or fluctuations in the prices of primary raw materials, or shortages, delays or disruptions in their supply, could affect our estimated costs, expenditures and timelines, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations are dependent upon the price and availability of the primary raw materials that we require for the production of our fast-moving electrical goods (“FMEG”) and wires.
Our primary raw materials are: (i) polymers (granules used for the molding of product casings and components),
(ii) urea (for manufacturing of non-modular switches and accessories); (iii) metals, primarily brass (used in switches and accessories) and copper (used in switchgear and wires) and (iv) packing materials. The total cost of materials and components consumed amounted to ₹ 2,553.92 million, ₹ 2,391.14 million and ₹ 2,160.40 million, accounting for 69.98 %, 70.02 % and 70.22 %, respectively, of our total expenses in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
As commodity metals, the prices of copper and brass are linked to the prices prevailing on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), while the price of polymers is linked to crude oil prices. Accordingly, fluctuations in commodity prices or crude oil prices may result in volatility in the procurement cost of these raw materials. We have in the past experienced cost fluctuations for these raw materials due to volatility in the commodity markets 23or crude oil prices, as the case may be. While we have generally been able to pass on the cost increases to our end customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue doing so in the future. If we are unable to pass on cost increases to our end 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.
The prices and availability of these raw materials are also affected by, among other factors, general economic conditions, competition, production costs and levels, transportation costs, indirect taxes and supply chain disruption.
While we usually maintain 30 days of inventory for all our primary raw materials and work-in-progress, we may experience instances of shortages. During such periods of shortages in raw materials, we may not be able to manufacture our products according to our pre-determined time frames, at our previously estimated product costs, or at all, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and reputation.
We are dependent on our suppliers for raw materials and also face a risk that one or more of our existing suppliers may discontinue supplies of raw materials to us. Any inability to procure raw materials from alternate suppliers in a timely manner, or on commercially acceptable terms, could adversely affect our operations. While we have not experienced any material disruption in the supply of our raw materials during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, that had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, however, we cannot assure you that such disruption will not occur in the future.
We typically procure raw materials through purchase orders and do not enter into any long-term agreements with our suppliers. Consequently, the suppliers may not perform their obligations in a timely manner or with the agreed quality or quantity, resulting in delays and adversely affecting our future commitments, and impact our business and results of operations. While we have not experienced any such material instances where the suppliers did not fulfil their obligations that resulted in an adverse impact on our operations during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.
3) Any slowdown or interruption to our manufacturing operations or under-utilization of our manufacturing facilities may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We operate through six manufacturing facilities located at Andheri, Mumbai in Maharashtra (“Mumbai Facility”), Vasai in Maharashtra (“Vasai Facility”), Palghar in Maharashtra (“Palghar Facility”), Silvassa in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (“Silvassa Facility”), Haridwar in Uttarakhand (“Haridwar Facility”) and Mangolpuri, Delhi (“Delhi Facility”).
Any slowdown or interruption to our manufacturing operations may have an adverse impact on our business and financial performance. Factors that may impact operations at our manufacturing facilities, include operational risks beyond our control, including breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output, efficiency, labour disputes, strikes, non-availability of services of our external contractors, planned shut-down for maintenance or inspections , environmental issues, natural disasters or civil disasters, industrial accidents, compliance with regulatory requirements or changes in the policies of the state or local governments of the regions we operate or the Government of India.
While we have not experienced any of the above risks that had an adverse impact on our business operations and financial condition in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that these risks will not arise in the future and result in an added risk of delays in commencing operations. For further details of our manufacturing facilities in terms of their location, property and key processes run / products manufactured, please see “Our Business” on page 239.
Any breakdown or obsolescence of the equipment at our manufacturing facilities may interrupt our manufacturing process. Although we have not in the past experienced any material malfunction of equipment that has impacted our operations, any significant malfunction or breakdown of our equipment in the future may involve high repair and maintenance costs and may cause interruptions to our manufacturing operations. In addition, planned shutdowns of our facilities for maintenance, statutory inspections and testing may be required.
Any disruption to the operation of our facilities may result from various factors beyond our control, including, among others, the following:
24i. forced closure or suspension of our facilities due to factors such as performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, facility obsolescence or disrepair, labour disputes such as strikes and work stoppages;
ii. natural disasters or severe weather conditions; iii. interruption of our information technology systems that facilitate the management of our facilities; and iv. other production or distribution problems, including limitations to production capacity due to regulatory requirements or physical limitations that could impact our ability to maintain a continuous supply of our products.
Although routine safety procedures in the operations of our facilities are employed and adequate insurance is maintained by us, our operations may be susceptible to industrial accidents which could result in bodily harm, environmental damage, manufacturing or delivery delays, or may lead to suspension of our operations and/or imposition of liabilities.
We require substantial power and fuel for our manufacturing facilities, and energy costs represent a significant portion of the production costs for our operations. For Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, our power and fuel charges were ₹ 22.28 million, ₹ 21.15 million and ₹ 21.38 million, constituting 0.61 %, 0.62 % and 0.70 %, respectively, of our total expenses. If energy costs were to rise, or if electricity supplies or supply arrangements were disrupted, our profitability could decline. We source most of our electricity requirements for our manufacturing facilities from state electricity boards. The cost of electricity supplied by state electricity boards could be significantly higher, thereby adversely affecting our cost of production and profitability. Further, natural disasters or adverse conditions may occur in the geographical areas in which we operate including severe weather, tropical storms, floods, excessive rainfalls as well as other events beyond our control. If for any reason such electricity is not available, we may need to shut down our plants until an adequate supply of electricity is restored.
Interruptions of electricity supply can also result in production shutdowns, increased costs associated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress.
4) We depend on third party manufacturers for manufacturing some of our products. Additionally, we rely on original equipment manufacturers “OEM”, especially for manufacturing of our lighting products under Skylight range, supported accessories under Allied range and some products under the MCB category. Any discontinuation of services by these third-party manufacturers or OEMs, disruptions at their manufacturing facilities, or failure of such third parties to adhere to the relevant quality standards may have a negative effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We depend on third party manufacturers for manufacturing some of products. We generally provide raw materials, coating powder, moulds and manufacturing specifications to third-party manufacturers and they undertake the manufacturing for us in their facilities. Any misuse, diversion, loss, damage, wastage or improper utilisation of such Company-supplied materials, failure to adhere to our Company's manufacturing specifications or use of non- approved substitute materials by such third parties may adversely affect product quality, production, profitability, reputation and customer confidence.
Additionally, we rely on OEM especially for manufacturing of our lighting products under Skylight range, supported accessories under Allied range and some products under the MCB category. These third-party manufacturers and OEMs undertake manufacturing for us on a non-exclusive basis, and we have not entered into formal agreements with them. Our engagement with third-party manufacturers and OEM is based on our ongoing working relationships and purchase orders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such third-party manufacturers will continue to provide manufacturing services to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and OEM subjects us to various risks, including: • dependence on relationships with third party manufacturers and OEM, particularly for continuity of supply of products to us;
• changes in cost of acquisition of our products from such manufacturers which would directly affect our profit margins and selling prices of our products; • misuse, diversion, loss, damage, wastage or improper utilisation of Company-supplied materials by third- party manufacturers including failure to adhere to our Company's manufacturing specifications;
• despite quality control exercised by us, there is dependence on quality control systems and processes of such manufacturers. • adverse changes in the financial or business condition of our third-party manufacturers and OEM.
25Our dependence on third party manufacturers and OEM could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, as a result of occurrence of factors mentioned above or violation of terms of our engagement by such manufacturers. We engage the third-party manufacturers and OEM on our need basis and their non availability due to their prior commitments could adversely affect our production, sales and financial performance. Additionally, our competitors may offer them better terms, which may cause them to prefer our competitors over us. In such circumstances, if we are unable to find a suitable replacement or engage another third-party manufacturer or OEM in the same region or are unable to engage a new third-party manufacturer or OEM at commercially acceptable terms or at all, there can be no assurance that we will be able to ensure timely supply of products to our dealers, which could adversely impact our business prospects and financial performance. While there have been no such instances in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, there can be no assurance that there will not be such instances in the future.
Any unscheduled, unplanned or prolonged disruption of operations at manufacturing facilities of our third-party manufacturers or OEMs, including on account of power failure, fire, mechanical failure of equipment, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, obsolescence of equipment or manufacturing processes, non-availability of adequate labour or disagreements with workforce, lock-outs, earthquakes and other natural disasters, industrial accidents, any significant social, political or economic disturbances or infectious disease outbreaks, could affect our third-party manufacturers or OEM’s ability to meet our requirements, and could consequently affect our operations. While such disruptions have not taken place in the past, we cannot guarantee that any disruption of operations will not take place in the future. Any delay or failure on the part of our third-party manufacturer or OEM to deliver the products in a timely manner or any litigation involving these third-party manufacturers or OEM may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and reputation.
5) We derive a significant portion of our revenue from operations from the sale of our modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories. Our revenue from operations from the sale of modular switches and accessories for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 was ₹ 1,970.78 million, ₹ 1,890.86 million and ₹ 1,577.93 million representing 48.79%, 50.17 % and 46.96% of our revenue from operations for the indicated periods. Our revenue from operations from the sale of non-modular switches and accessories for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025, and Fiscal 2024 was ₹ 546.25 million, ₹ 513.69 million and ₹ 490.19 million representing 13.52 %, 13.63 % and 14.59 % of our revenue from operations for the indicated periods. Any adverse changes in the conditions affecting the switches and accessories market can adversely impact on business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We derive our significant portion of our revenue from the sale of our modular switches and accessories and non- modular switches and accessories. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue from operations from modular switches and accessories, non-modular switches and accessories and our other products for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024:
(in ₹ million, except percentage) Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 % of total % of total % of total Product revenue revenue revenue Amount Amount Amount from from from operations operations operations Modular switches and 1,970.78 48.79% 1,890.86 50.17% 1,577.93 46.96% accessories Non-modular switches 546.25 13.52% 513.69 13.63% 490.19 14.59% and accessories Supported accessories 517.78 12.82% 513.97 13.64% 507.15 15.09% MCBs / switchgear 234.05 5.79% 219.25 5.82% 196.41 5.85% Lighting 290.75 7.20% 213.96 5.68% 228.85 6.81% Wires 190.16 4.71% 131.73 3.50% 105.98 3.15% Total Sales of Products 3,749.77 92.83% 3,483.46 92.43% 3,106.51 92.45% Other Operating Revenue 289.48 7.17% 285.49 7.57% 253.65 7.55% Total Revenue from 4,039.25 100.00% 3,768.95 100.00% 3,360.16 100.00% Operations As a result, our business and financial condition are heavily dependent on the performance of the switches and accessories market, and we are exposed to fluctuations in the performance of these markets. In the event of a 26decrease in demand for modular and non- modular switches and accessories, we will experience pronounced effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.
Accordingly, any adverse developments affecting demand for modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories, including changes in consumer preferences, pricing pressures, increased competition or technological advancements, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Demand for our modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories may change over time due to evolving consumer preferences. Our continued success depends on our ability to anticipate, assess and respond promptly to changes in consumer tastes. While we aim to introduce new products from time to time, consumer preferences are difficult to predict and may change rapidly. If we fail to anticipate or respond effectively to changes in market conditions, emerging trends or consumer preferences, or to accurately forecast demand for these products, demand and sales of our modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories may decline. This could reduce our market share and limit our ability to acquire new dealers and retailers and retain existing ones, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
6) Our inability to maintain the stability of our distribution network and attract additional retail counters may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on our extensive pan-India distribution network of dealers, to sell our products across retail market in India. As at July 31, 2026, we have over 2,739 dealers, in our pan-India distribution network. Our contractual arrangements with our dealers are primarily documented through purchase orders. There can be no assurance that we can continue to maintain our network of dealers or retailers on commercially favorable terms or at all. Any failure to enter into new or renew existing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations or cash flows.
Additionally, our depots are operated through carrying and forwarding (“C&F”) agents, who manage the day-to- day operations, including inventory handling, storage and related operational activities including procuring and maintenance of applicable licenses and permissions on behalf of our Company. As of July 31, 2026, we had a network of 20 C&F agents. For this purpose, we enter into C&F agreement with such agents and which are generally renewable pursuant to mutual consent. There can be no assurance that such arrangements will continue to be successful or be renewed after expiry of the stipulated term. Any alteration to or termination of our current agreements with our C&F agents or any failure to enter into new and similar agreements on commercially favorable terms or at all, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects or results of operations. For further details on our C&F agents, please see “Our Business-Overview” on page 217.
Our business, to some extent, depends on maintaining good relationships with our dealers and ensuring that our dealers find our products to be commercially remunerative and have continuing demand from dealers. Further, our growth as a business depends on our ability to attract additional dealers and retailers to our distribution network. As at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have any arrangements with our dealers which requires them to exclusively sell our products. In addition, we have no control over our competitors who may offer greater incentives to our distributors and dealers. Furthermore, we have limited ability to manage the activities of independent third-party dealers and we cannot assure you that they will, at all times, strictly adhere to the terms and conditions of our arrangements with them. In addition, if the dealers violate applicable laws or otherwise engage in illegal practices with respect to their sale and marketing of our products, our brand and reputation may be adversely affected. Further, any deterioration in our relationships with our dealers, distributors or C&F agents, or any disruption in our distribution network, may adversely affect our ability to effectively market, distribute and deliver our products to dealers in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that our current dealers will continue to do business with us, or that we can continue to attract additional dealers and retailers to our network. If we fail to maintain the stability of our distribution network and attract additional dealers and retailers to our distribution network, our sales and market share may decline which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
7) Three of our six manufacturing facilities are concentrated in Maharashtra. Any significant social, political, economic or seasonal disruption, natural calamities or civil disruptions in Maharashtra, where three of our manufacturing facilities are located, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
27We have three of our six manufacturing facilities concentrated in Maharashtra. Our manufacturing facilities and our operations are susceptible to local and regional factors, such as economic and weather conditions, natural disasters, political developments, adverse regulatory developments, civil unrest and other unforeseen events and circumstances. Such disruptions could result in the damage or destruction of one or more of our manufacturing facilities, significant delays in shipments of our products and/or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any prolonged disruption at these manufacturing facilities may also adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand and delivery schedules. The occurrence of any of these events could require us to incur significant capital expenditure or change our business structure or strategy, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, future cash flows and financial condition.
While we have not faced any such disruptions in the past in our operations due to the concentration of three of our manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra, we cannot assure you that there will not be any significant developments in these regions in the future that may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any significant social, political, economic or seasonal disruption, natural calamities or civil disruptions in areas of future expansion could also adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition in the future.
8) Some of the members of our Promoter Group have not consented to the inclusion of, nor have they provided, information or any confirmations or undertakings pertaining to themselves or the entities in which they hold interest, which are required to be disclosed in relation to Promoter Group under the SEBI ICDR Regulations in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The disclosures relating to these members of the Promoter Group and their connected entities have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on information available in the public domain. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the disclosures relating to such members of our Promoter Group are accurate, complete, or updated.

Our Company had filed applications dated March 25, 2026 with SEBI under Regulation 300(1)(c) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, requesting for relaxation of the strict enforcement of the provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations with respect to identifying and disclosing Ratan Naraindas Motwani and Ram Naraindas Motwani and their Connected Entities as members of Promoter Group, and from disclosing information and confirmations regarding, and from, such natural person(s) and entities, as required under the SEBI ICDR Regulations (“Exemption Application”). The Exemption Application was rejected by SEBI vide letter dated August 5, 2026 Since our Company has not been able to procure relevant information, from, and in relation to, the Relevant Persons and Connected Entities, and has consequently been unable to provide complete disclosures required under the provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the disclosures in relation to the Relevant Persons and their Connected Entities, in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been included to the best of our Company’s knowledge and to the extent the information was available and accessible in the public domain published on the websites of (i) Watchout Investors (accessible at https://www.watchoutinvestors.com/); (ii)TransUnion CIBIL Limited (CIBIL) (accessibleathttps://suit.cibil.com/) on a ‘name search’ basis.

Our Company will also not be in a position to ascertain any subsequent developments in relation to the information of the Relevant Persons.
9) We may not be able to sustain historical revenue growth rates and our historical performance may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results.
We have experienced consistent revenue growth in our business. The following table sets forth certain financial
information for our Company for the periods indicated: (₹ in millions, except data mentioned in %) 28For the Financial Year ended Particulars March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Revenue from operations (₹ 4,039.25 3,768.95 3,360.16 million) Total Income 4,067.99 3,789.65 3,377.95 EBITDA (i) (₹ million) 465.08 432.87 353.33 EBITDA margin(ii) (%) 11.51% 11.49% 10.52% Profit after tax (PAT) (₹ 308.30 276.22 223.59 million) PAT Margin(iii) (%) 7.63% 7.33% 6.65% Return on Equity(iv) (%) 19.99% 22.06% 22.26% Return on Capital
26.79% 28.25% 25.54% Employed(v) (%) Debt to equity ratio(vi) - 0.09 0.15
Note:
(i) EBITDA = EBITDA is calculated as profit before tax and exceptional items for the year/period, plus finance costs and depreciation and amortisation expenses, less other income.
(ii) EBITDA Margin = EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenue from operations
(iii) PAT Margin = PAT margin is calculated by dividing profit after tax by total revenue from operations
(iv) Return on Equity = Return on Equity is calculated by dividing the net income by its average shareholders' equity at the beginning and end of period
(v) Return on Capital Employed = Return on Capital Employed is calculated by dividing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by average capital employed at the beginning and end of period
(vi) Debt to Equity Ratio = Debt to Equity Ratio is calculated by dividing a total debt and financial liabilities by its shareholder equity For details, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview” on page 359.
We cannot assure you that our historical growth rate will be sustainable or achieved at all in the future or that we will be able to successfully execute our business strategies. If we are not able to manage our growth or execute our strategies effectively, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
We may also experience a decline in our revenue growth rate as a result of a number of factors, including slowing demand for our products, stalled growth of our distribution network, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall market and increasing regulatory costs, any of which would have a material adverse impact on our cash flows, financial condition and results of operation.
10) The strength of our brand is crucial to our success. Any reputational damage to our brand could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our brand and reputation are among our most important assets, as they play a significant role in attracting dealers to our products. The strength of our brand is influenced by several factors such as our growth, product designs, recognition of product quality, market penetration, accessibility of our products and the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives. Public communication activities such as advertising, public relations and marketing as well as the general public perception of our Company also impact our brand value.
The ability to differentiate our brand and product offerings from those of our competitors through effective branding and advertising initiatives is vital to attract and retain dealers. Please see below our marketing and brand
promotion expenses for the periods indicated: (in ₹ million except percentage data) Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Amount As a % of total Amount As a % of Amount As a %of Particulars expenses total total expenses expenses Marketing and brand 100.85 2.76 % 85.06 2.49 % 73.14 2.38 % promotion expenses We also outsource the manufacturing of certain products to third party manufacturers and OEMs and require these third-party manufacturers and OEMs to maintain standards comparable to ours. Although we conduct quality checks on products manufactured through outsourced processes, any quality deficiency or defect that is not detected during our quality control process could cause reputational damage. Further, any failure by such third- party manufacturers or OEMs to comply with applicable quality standards, contractual obligations or regulatory requirements may adversely affect our brand, reputation and customer confidence in our products.
29We are subject to counterfeit, cloned and pass-off products in our businesses. Counterfeit and cloned products are products manufactured and sold illegally as legitimate products, whereas pass-off products are manufactured and packaged to resemble legitimate products. In the past few years, advances in technology have contributed to the ease at which legitimate products can be counterfeited. We have, in the past, faced instances of third parties passing off their products as ours. A recurrence of such instances could reduce demand for our products, result in loss of market share and, if the counterfeit products are of inferior quality, adversely affect our goodwill and brand reputation. The proliferation of unauthorized copies of our products, and the time spent pursuing claims and complaints about spurious products could have an adverse effect on our reputation and our business.
Maintaining and enhancing our brand image may also require us to undertake significant expenditures and make investments in areas such as research and development, advertising and marketing through local engagement, digital media and other channels of publicity, intellectual property development, registration, compliance monitoring and enforcement as well as employee development and training. If our initiatives in any of these areas are not effectively implemented or our products fail to find acceptance with our existing and potential dealers resulting in loss of dealers confidence in our brand for any reason, our ability to attract and retain dealers could be adversely affected. Any deterioration in customer perception of our brand, whether due to product quality issues, negative publicity, actions of third parties or any other factor beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
11) Our inventories for Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 were ₹ 629.43 million, ₹ 509.48 million and ₹
449.53 million representing 15.58%, 13.52% and 13.38%, respectively, as a percentage of our revenue from operations for the indicated periods respectively. Our results of operations are dependent on our ability to effectively manage our inventory. Our inability to accurately forecast demand or effectively manage our inventory may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We manufacture a significant portion of our products for sale based on demand forecast pursuant to management estimates based on historic trends and demand data and forecasts received from our sales and marketing team, which are used to extrapolate expected future sales pattern. Our future earnings through the sale and distribution of our products may not be realized as forecasted, due to cancellations or modifications of firm orders or our failure to accurately prepare demand forecasts. If we are unable to appropriately estimate the demand for our products for any reason, it could result in excess inventory levels or unavailability of our products during periods of increased demand, resulting in lower than expected sales.
Our ability to accurately forecast customer demand for our products is affected by various factors, including: • a substantial increase or decrease in the demand for our products or for similar offerings of our competitors;
• changes in customer requirements; aggressive pricing strategies employed by our competitors; • failure to accurately forecast or changes in customer acceptance of our products; • limited historical demand and sales data for our products in newer markets; and • weakening of general economic conditions or customer confidence that could reduce the sale of our offerings.
The table below sets forth details of certain parameters for the periods indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Revenue from 4,039.25 3,768.95 3,360.16 operations (₹ million) Current Assets (₹ 1,913.25 1,659.98 1,306.53 million) Inventory (₹ million) 629.43 509.48 449.53 Inventory as a percentage of 15.58% 13.52% 13.38% revenue from operations (%) Inventory as a percentage of 32.90% 30.69% 34.41% current assets (%) Inventory turnover ratio 4.34 4.98 4.99 Inventory days 84 73 73 Inventory levels that exceed customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs or we may be required to sell our excess inventory at discounted prices, which will adversely affect our gross margins and negatively impact our reputation and brand exclusivity. On the other hand, if we face demand in excess of our production capacity, we may not be able to adequately respond to the demand for our products. This could result in delays in delivery of our products to our dealers and we may suffer damage to our reputation and customer 30relationships. In addition, our dealers may be driven to purchase products offered by our competitors, thereby affecting our market share. Further, maintaining higher inventory levels than required may increase our inventory holding costs and adversely affect our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our inventories at optimum levels to successfully respond to customer demand. For the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, there has been no instance where our inability to accurately forecast demand or manage our inventory has had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, however, we cannot assure, that we will be able to maintain optimal inventory levels in the future.
12) We face significant competitive pressures in our business. Our inability to compete effectively would be detrimental to our business and prospects for future growth.
We face significant competition in our business from other manufacturers and suppliers of FMEG products. As per CareEdge Report, the Indian FMEG industry remains highly competitive, with the presence of large organized players, regional manufacturers, and numerous unorganized participants across multiple product categories. While established brands compete through product innovation, distribution reach, and brand equity, smaller players often compete aggressively on price, particularly in value-oriented product segments. This fragmented competitive landscape can exert pressure on margins and limit pricing flexibility for manufacturers. Additionally, the continuous entry of new brands and expansion of existing players into adjacent product categories has intensified competition across switches, switchgear, lighting, fans, and electrical accessories.
As per CareEdge Report, the industry is marked by fierce competition between established brands and numerous unorganised players. Aggressive pricing strategies have compressed margins, forcing companies to constantly balance affordability with quality, innovation, and service. This dynamic often discourages investment in advanced technologies and makes differentiation difficult, especially in a market where consumers are highly price-sensitive. Furthermore, intense competition can restrict the ability of manufacturers to fully pass on increased costs, creating profitability pressures, especially in highly price sensitive market segments. While we work consistently to offset pricing pressures, produce new products, advance our technological capability, improve our services or enhance our production efficiency to reduce costs, such efforts may not be successful. If our competitors introduce products with superior features, stronger brand recognition, wider distribution networks or more competitive pricing, we may lose market share or be required to reduce our prices or incur additional expenditure on marketing and product development, which could adversely affect our profitability.
As premiumization and product differentiation become increasingly important, we must continue investing in branding, innovation, and channel development to sustain market share and profitability. As a part of our growth strategy, we intend to undertake more extensive marketing and brand building exercises including investing in Point of purchase (“POP”) Items, shop boards, sample boards and events and setting up 50 new display showrooms across India. For further details, please see “Our growth strategies- Increase product penetration in existing geographies” and Objects - Expenditure towards brand building and marketing” on pages 227 and 118, respectively. Also, as we plan to expand our offerings to launch new products under the semi-premium segment and we may face strong competition from other players in the same markets. Many of our existing and potential competitors may seek to equal or exceed us in terms of their financial, production, sales, marketing and other resources. In addition, larger competitors may have greater financial resources, stronger brand recognition, more extensive distribution networks and greater economies of scale than us, enabling them to respond more effectively to changes in market conditions and customer preferences. If we fail to compete effectively in the future, our business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
13) There have been certain delays and non-compliances in filing certain statutory and regulatory forms with RoC by our Company in the past. We have filed compounding and adjudication applications with the competent regulatory authorities in relation to past non-compliances under the Companies Act, some of which are pending as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. There can be no assurance that these applications will have a favourable outcome or that penalties will not be imposed, which may impact our financial condition and reputation.
Our Company has, in the past, experienced delays in filing certain statutory and regulatory forms with RoC, within
the prescribed timelines under applicable laws as follows:
1. Form MGT 14- with respect to Alteration of Articles pursuant to the Debenture Subscription Agreement dated October 25, 2019;
2. Form CHG-1- for creation and modification of charges in the financial years 2021, 2023 and 2025;
313. Form ADT-1- with respect to appointment of RANGANI & CO. as Statutory Auditor in the financial year 2026;
4. Form DPT -3 – with respect to return of deposits in the financial year 2020;

8. Form MGT 7 in the financial year 2022.
In relation to the aforesaid delays, our Company has subsequently filed the relevant forms with the RoC upon payment of applicable late fees. Such continued delays in future may expose us to regulatory proceedings, actions, or penalties, and we cannot assure you that no such proceedings will be initiated against us in the future or that we will not be subject to penalties imposed by the competent regulatory authorities in this regard.
Additionally, our Company has, in the past, experienced certain instances of non-compliance with provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. While these instances have since been addressed through filing compounding and adjudication applications with the competent regulatory authorities and re-filing of relevant forms with the registrar of companies, there can be no assurance that such applications will have a favourable outcome for our Company. Our Company has filed the following applications and revised forms in this regard:
• Compounding applications under Section 441 read with Sections 147 and 148 of the Companies Act, 2013 each dated September 1, 2026, filed with the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai-I, at Mumbai, in relation to delay in appointment of cost auditor and delay in filing of the cost audit report from the Financial Year 2021 to Financial Year 2024.

While no regulatory actions with respect to past non-compliances under the Companies Act, are currently pending against our Company other than the above, we cannot assure you that the said applications will have a favourable outcome or that penalties will not be imposed by the relevant authorities. Any adverse outcome in respect of the above may impact our reputation and financial condition.
32Further, any recurrence of delays or non-compliance with statutory filing requirements may result in increased scrutiny by regulatory authorities and could expose our Company and its directors to additional liabilities under applicable laws. We cannot assure that similar instances of non-compliance will not occur in the future.
14) The success of our business operations is dependent on our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management. Our inability to attract and retain key personnel or the loss of services of such personnel may have an adverse effect on our business prospects.
Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued services and contributions of our senior management and key personnel, including Prakash Naraindas Motwani, our Chairman and Managing Director, Mohit Prakash Motwani, our Whole-time Director, Bhavika Mohit Motwani, our Whole-time Director and Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key employees could harm our business. Our future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We believe that the inputs and experience of our key managerial personnel and Board of Directors, in particular, and other key personnel are valuable for the development of our business and operations and the strategic directions taken by us. For further information on our key managerial personnel and Directors, see “Our Management” on page 266.
Our ability to sustain our growth depends upon our ability to attract and retain key personnel, to address emerging business and operating challenges. We cannot assure you that these individuals or any other member of our Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management will not leave us or join a competitor or that we will be able to retain such personnel or find adequate replacements in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, we may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when qualified personnel terminate their employment with us. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting employees that our business requires. The loss of the services of such personnel or our inability to hire and retain qualified individuals may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The following table sets forth the attrition rate in the periods indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Average number of employees 632 596 561 Number of employees exited 135 57 116 Attrition rate of employees (%) 21.36 9.56 20.68 In order to improve efficiency and ensure optimum workforce, we had undertaken closure of depots and streamlining team structure in Fiscal 2024 and 2026, respectively. This impacted our attrition rate adversely. Our attrition rate for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 was 21.36%, 9.56% and 20.68% respectively. We may continue to face attrition of our existing workforce as a result of increased competition or other factors relating to our businesses. If we continue to have a high attrition rate, it may reduce productivity levels and may take a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when qualified personnel terminate their employment with our Company. Further, if we cannot hire additional qualified personnel or retain them, our ability to expand our business will be impaired and our revenue could decline. We will need to recruit new employees, who will have to be trained and integrated into our operations. We will also have to train existing employees to adhere properly to internal controls and risk management procedures. Failure to train and motivate our employees properly may result in an increase in employee attrition rates, require additional hiring, erode the quality of customer service, divert management resources and impose significant costs on us. Any inability to effectively manage succession planning for our key managerial personnel and senior management may also adversely affect the continuity of our operations and the execution of our business strategy.
15) We are subject to strict quality requirements and any product defect issues or failure by us or our raw material suppliers, third party manufacturers or OEMs, to comply with quality standards may lead to the cancellation of existing and future orders, recalls or exposure to potential product liability claims.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product defects and subsequent liability claims if the use of any of our products results in personal injury or property damage. We may not be able to meet regulatory quality standards, or the quality standards expected by our customers and applicable to our manufacturing processes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are also required to obtain material approvals and certifications for product quality verification in India 33including International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) including ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems), Indian Standard Institute (“ISI”), Bureau of Indian Standards (“BIS”) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (“RoHS”) certifications. Further, our manufacturing facilities are subjected to rigorous quality control checks, accreditation requirements, and periodic inspections from various regulatory agencies that have issued us product and system certifications. If any of our products do not meet regulatory standards or are defective, we may be, inter alia, (i) responsible for damages relating to any defective products, (ii) required to replace, recall or redesign such products, (iii) incur significant costs to defend any such claims (iv) restricted to produce or market such products to our customers or (v) restricted from manufacturing, selling or marketing such products until the relevant deficiencies are rectified. Further, any product recall or quality-related incident may adversely affect customer confidence in our products and damage our reputation.
We typically do not provide a guarantee or warranty against manufacturing defects on our wires, which are in line with the standard practice in the industry in which we operate. We typically provide a warranty of up to 2 years on our electronic products and up to 10 years on our electrical products. Any defect in our finished fast-moving electrical good products may result in our end customers making a guarantee / warranty claim, and we typically offer to repair / replace our end customer products in response to the guarantee / warranty claim. We have had warranty claims made against our products in the ordinary course of our business. Product defect, quality failure, warranty claim or product recall may also adversely affect our Company's brand reputation, dealer/ retailer relationships and our end customer confidence, in addition to resulting in product liability and financial exposure.
While there have not been any material product liability claims made against our products or any cancellation of existing or future orders resulting in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with all regulatory requirements or the quality requirement standards of our dealers. Because of the long useful life of some of our products, it is possible that latent defects might not appear for several years. There is no guarantee that any future non-compliance with quality standards will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We also outsource the manufacturing of certain products to third party manufacturers and OEMs and require these third-party manufacturers and OEMs to maintain standards comparable to ours. Although we conduct quality checks on products manufactured through outsourced processes, any quality deficiency or defect that is not detected during our quality control process could cause reputational damage. Further, any failure by such third- party manufacturers or OEMs to comply with applicable quality standards, contractual obligations or regulatory requirements may adversely affect our brand, reputation and customer confidence in our products. Further if, our third-party manufacturers or OEMs fail to comply with regulatory requirements or quality standards, our ability to supply sufficient products to meet demand may be disrupted until compliance is restored or a new supplier is identified and evaluated. There is no assurance that our products will always meet the satisfaction of our customer quality standards. Our or our third-party supplier’s or OEM’s failure to comply with applicable regulations could cause adverse consequences to be imposed on us, including warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, the refusal of regulatory authorities to grant approvals, delays, suspensions or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, all of which could harm our business. There can be no assurance that if we need to engage new third-party manufacturers or OEM to satisfy our business requirement, we will be able locate new suppliers in compliance with regulatory requirements in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to do so could lead to the cancellation of existing and future orders and have a material adverse effect on our business and revenue.
16) We are exposed to risks arising from credit terms extended to our dealers.
Under our dealer arrangements, we extend credit periods to dealers as part of our standard payment terms, exposing us to counterparty credit risk, including delayed or non-receipt of payments. The credit period offered by our suppliers is generally 25 to 40 days, which falls within the credit period range of 0 to 90 days that we generally grant to our dealers. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any significant cash flow mismatches in the future or that our cash flow management measures will continue to function properly, or at all.
The details of our outstanding trade receivables as a percentage of our total revenue from operations have been
provided in the table below for the periods indicated. (in ₹ million except mentioned otherwise) 34Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 % of total % of total % of total Particulars Outstanding revenue Outstanding revenue Outstanding revenue amount from amount from amount from operations operations operations Outstanding 995.62 24.65 % 1,025.74 27.22 % 820.89 24.43 % trade receivables No. of debtor 91 - 89 - 88 - days In addition to the outstanding trade receivables as disclosed in the table above, we are also a party to certain channel financing arrangements. Under these arrangements, we receive payment from the bank on behalf of our dealers, however, if the dealer fails to pay the invoice or any part thereof to the bank within the agreed time periods, the bank is entitled to recover the defaulted amount from us. Accordingly, any default by our dealers under such channel financing arrangements may require us to repay such amounts to the relevant financial institution, which could adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows and working capital.
There is no assurance that we will accurately assess the creditworthiness of our dealers. Macroeconomic conditions, such as a potential credit crisis in the global financial system, could also result in financial difficulties for our dealers including limited access to the credit markets, insolvency or bankruptcy. Such conditions could cause them to delay payment, request modifications of their payment terms, default on their payment obligations to us, or default their payment obligations under channel financing facilities to financial institutions, all of which could increase our receivables or our liabilities.
While we have not been materially affected by outstanding customer payments during Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we cannot assure you that we will not be so impacted in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to collect the whole or any part of any overdue payments and any significant delay in, or non- receipt of, large payments or non-performance by our dealers including default by our dealers under channel financing facilities, could adversely affect our cash flows, working capital, results of operations and financial condition.
17) Our failure to identify and understand evolving industry trends and preferences and to develop new products to meet our dealers demands may materially adversely affect our business.
The success of our business depends upon our ability to anticipate customer preferences and requirements, including by our end use customers. We constantly seek to develop our research and development capabilities to distinguish ourselves from our competitors by enabling us to introduce new products and different variant of our existing products, based on consumer preferences and demand. Although we seek to identify such trends and introduce new products after testing such products, we cannot assure you that our products would gain customer acceptance. For instance, in the financial year 2026, we discontinued the Luxury, Style and Conwood ranges within our non-modular switches and accessories category because they did not gain market acceptance. Further, the demand for our products may decline due to the increase in competition, regulatory action, pricing pressures and/or fluctuations of demand and supply. If our competitors are able to improve the efficiency of their manufacturing process or their distribution or raw materials sourcing process and thereby offer their products at lower price, we may not be able to reduce our gross margin to retain customers by offering our products at lower prices. Our failure to effectively react to these situations or to successfully introduce new products or new applications, under such circumstances, could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
As per CareEdge Report the FMEG sector is undergoing a structural shift from price-driven competition toward branded, technology-led offerings emphasizing safety, quality, and energy efficiency. Further as per CareEdge Report Industry leaders are also witnessing growing consumer preference for premium fans, modular switches, smart lighting, energy-efficient LEDs, and BLDC-based appliances. Premiumization has become a key structural theme, with companies increasingly focusing on higher-value product portfolios rather than volume-led growth alone. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure the necessary technological knowledge or successfully develop products that will allow us to expand or upgrade our product portfolio in this manner. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve the technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive or that certain of our products will not become obsolete. Further, the development of new or improved products or technologies by our competitors may render our products obsolete or less competitive.
35To keep abreast of the most updated technology and respond effectively to changing customer preferences and requirements, we must be able to develop and produce new products to meet our dealers demand in a timely manner. While we continuously seek to launch new products, there can be no assurance, that these new products will be successful with our dealers and end customers.
18) We are dependent on third party transportation providers for delivery of raw materials to us from our suppliers and delivery of our products to our dealers or our distribution network and in the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 , our expenses towards transportation, freight and forwarding was 133.54 million, 121.09 million and 103.78 million constituting 3.66 %, 3.55 % and 3.37 % of our total expenses respectively, any failure on part of such service providers to meet their obligations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
To ensure smooth functioning of our manufacturing operations, we need to maintain continuous supply and transportation of the raw materials required from the supplier to our manufacturing facilities and transportation of our products from our manufacturing facilities to our dealers or our distribution network, which may be subject to various uncertainties and risks.
The following table sets forth the transportation, freight and forwarding expenses incurred as a percentage of our
total expenses in the years indicated: (in ₹ millions, except mentioned in %) Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Particulars Amount As a % of Amount As a % of Amount As a % of (₹ million) total expenses (₹ million) total expenses (₹ million) total expenses Freight and 133.54 3.66% 121.09 3.55% 103.78 3.37% forwarding We engage third-party logistics service providers to provide support for our transportation requirements on a need basis. In the event that these third-party logistics service providers are unable to provide services for our operations for reasons which are beyond our control and we are unable to secure alternate transport arrangements in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost, or at all, our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and reputation may be adversely affected. Any delays in supply and transportation of raw materials to us or of our products to our dealers due to inadequacies in transportation infrastructure, or disruptions in road networks due to weather-related events, labour strikes, wars or unforeseen circumstances could adversely impact our operations.
Additionally, raw materials and products may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons including occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. A failure to maintain a continuous supply of raw materials or to deliver our products to our distribution intermediaries in a timely, efficient and reliable manner could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we have not experienced any such significant disruptions that affected our delivery scheduled and impaired the supply to our dealers in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future. Any prolonged disruption in transportation or logistics services may also result in delays in production, increased inventory holding costs, delayed deliveries to dealers and loss of business opportunities.
We are subject to the risk of increases in freight costs. If we cannot fully offset any increase in freight costs, through increase in the prices for our products, we would experience lower margins. We are also exposed to the risk of theft, accidents, defect, damage and/or loss of our products in transit and our insurance may not be sufficient to cover such risks. Any such delay or curtailment of our insurance claims could adversely impact our business operations and financial condition.
19) Our Company requires significant amounts of working capital for continued growth. Our inability to meet our working capital requirements, on commercially acceptable terms, may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business requires a substantial amount of working capital, primarily for receivables and inventory. Please see
below our existing working capital requirements for the periods indicated: (in ₹ million) As at As at As at Particulars March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024

Note: * Borrowings includes Working Capital Term Loan(s) Our working capital requirements are based on certain assumptions and estimates and may not be indicative of the actual requirements of our Company in future. The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from estimates due to, among other factors, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes, economic conditions, engineering design changes, technological changes, additional market developments and new opportunities in the FMEG industry. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our existing working capital arrangements will be adequate to meet our future business requirements.
We may need to obtain additional financing in the normal course of business from time to time, to meet our working capital or capital expenditure needs. We may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner and/or on favourable commercial terms including rate of interest, primary security cover, collateral security, terms of repayment, other conditions, or we may not be able to obtain such financing at all. If we raise additional debt, our interest expense will increase and our debt covenants under our existing loans may be impacted. Certain of our loan documentation contains provisions that limit our ability to incur future debt. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, our ownership interest in our Company will be diluted.
Additionally, our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable commercial terms, if at all, will depend on a number of factors, including, amongst others: • our results of operations and cash flows;
• the amount and terms of our existing indebtedness; • general market conditions in the markets where we operate; and • general condition of the debt and equity markets.
In many cases, a significant amount of our working capital is required to finance the purchase of materials before payment is received from our dealers. Our trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on credit terms up to 90 days. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risks – Credit Risk” on page 394.
Our working capital requirements may increase if the payment terms in our agreements with our dealers or purchase orders include reduced advance payments or longer payment schedules, or if our dealer’s access to channel financing is reduced. These factors may result in increases in the amount of our receivables and short- term borrowings. Continued increases in our working capital requirements or our inability to obtain financing at 37favorable terms, or at all may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
20) We have sanctioned cash credit and working capital demand loan facilities aggregating ₹ 250.00 million and may incur indebtedness in the future. Any inability to meet our repayment obligations or comply with the covenants under our financing agreements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As of July 31, 2026, we have a sanctioned cash credit and working capital demand loan facilities aggregating ₹
250.00 million. While we have not utilised the facilities currently, we may utilize the aforesaid loan facilities in the near future. Our financing agreements contain restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, the requirements that we obtain consents from our lender prior to undertaking certain matters including altering our capital structure, changing the shareholding in our Company, changing the management or ownership, effecting a change in control / controlling interest of our Company. In terms of the security, we are required to create hypothecation over current assets and obtained personal guarantees from our Promoters namely Prakash Naraindas Motwani, Neelu Prakash Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani.
While we have received the relevant consent required for the purposes of this Offer and have complied with these covenants, a failure to comply with such covenants in the future may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives that we may propose to take from time to time.
The consequences of not being in compliance with terms and conditions of the loan agreements, including the financial covenants could be acceleration of maturity of the facility sanctioned to us and declaring all amounts outstanding, enforcement of security and the exercise by our lender of any right available to it under such loan agreements. Further, any fluctuations in the interest rates may directly impact the interest costs of such loans. Our ability to make payments on and refinance our indebtedness will depend on our continued ability to generate cash from our future operations. We may not be able to generate enough cash flow from operations or obtain enough capital to service our debt. In addition, any deterioration in our financial performance or credit profile may affect our ability to obtain additional financing or refinance our existing indebtedness on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to comply with the conditions and covenants in our financing agreement that is not waived by our lender or guarantors or otherwise cured could lead to a termination of our credit facilities, foreclosure on our assets, acceleration of all amounts due under such facilities or trigger cross-default provisions under certain of our other financing agreements, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to conduct and implement our business plans. Additionally, lender may recall all or part of amounts borrowed by us on short or no notice. Such recalls on borrowed amounts may be contingent upon happening of an event beyond our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to persuade our lenders to give us extensions or to refrain from exercising such recalls which may adversely affect our operations and cash flows. For further details see “Financial Indebtedness” and “Restated Financial Information” on pages 398 and 291 respectively.
21) Our Promoters have provided personal guarantees for loan facilities obtained by our Company and any failure or default by our Company to repay such loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of the financing documents could trigger repayment obligations on our Promoters, which may impact their ability to effectively service their obligations or if the personal guarantees are revoked by our Promoters may impact our business and operations.
Our Promoters, namely Prakash Naraindas Motwani, Neelu Prakash Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani have
provided personal guarantees for loan facilities obtained by our Company aggregating to ₹ 250.00 million. Any failure or default by us to repay these loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of the financing documents, could trigger repayment obligations on our Promoters, thereby impacting their overall financial position and, in turn, their ability to effectively service their obligations and which may also adversely affect our business and operations.
Further, if any of these personal guarantees are revoked or withdrawn, our lender may require alternative security, collateral or additional personal guarantees. Our lender can reduce credit limits or cancel such loans or facilities, entailing repayment of outstanding amounts under such facilities. If we are unable to provide alternative guarantees satisfactory to our lender, 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 current financing agreements, which may limit our operational flexibility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace such guarantees with alternative credit support acceptable to our lenders within the required timelines, or at all. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely 38affected by the modification or revocation of all or any of the personal guarantees provided by our Promoters, in connection with our borrowing. For further details, see “Restated Financial Information” and “Financial Indebtedness” on pages 291 and 398 respectively.
22) We have availed channel financing from banks to our customers i.e. our dealers, to facilitate our cash flows and provided guarantees for the entire amount owed by our customers to these banks. Any failure of our customers to repay the amounts under these channel financing arrangements may result in us incurring losses and may negatively impact our profitability.
In recent years, we used channel financing facilities to facilitate our financing needs, whereby our dealers enter into arrangements with banks through which we receive payment directly from the banks, who in turn take on credit risk and seek to collect outstanding dues from our customers. Our Company has provided guarantees to the financial institutions for the amount owed by our customers under the channel financing facilities. Channel financing reduces our risk of non-payment and significantly increases the speed at which we receive payment, as we receive payment directly from banks. However, any decrease in the availability of credit to our customers, or banks’ willingness to allow our dealers to use channel financing, could significantly reduce the speed at which we receive payment, and increase our risk of non-payment. Further, if our guarantee obligations are invoked pursuant to defaults by our customers under such channel financing arrangements, we may be required to make payments to the relevant financial institutions, which could adversely affect our liquidity, working capital, cash flows and profitability. Our inability to obtain funding on reasonable terms, or at all, could affect our ability to manufacture products and would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. As at March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 amount aggregating to ₹ 177.07 million, ₹ 130.46 million and ₹ 140.31 million, respectively, under our channel financing guarantees have been utilized and had been identified as contingent liabilities. There can be no assurance that our contingent liabilities under such channel financing arrangements will not increase in the future or that any guarantees provided by us will not be invoked.
23) We have experienced negative cash flows from investing and financing activities in previous periods and cannot assure you that we will not experience negative cash flows in future periods. Negative cash flows may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our cash flows for the years/ periods indicated therein,
as per the Restated Financial Information: (in ₹ million) Particulars Fiscal ended Fiscal ended Fiscal ended March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Net cash flows from/ (used) in operating 404.50 250.37 171.39 activities Net cash flows from/ (used) in investing (53.69) (141.40) (21.46) activities Net cash flows from/ (used) in financing (180.96) (101.98) (150.02) activities Net increase/ (decrease) in cash and cash 169.84 6.99 (0.08) equivalents We have experienced negative cash flows from investing activities in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 primarily on account of payments for property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and investment in fixed deposits with bank and financial institution. Further, we experienced negative cash flows from financing activities in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 primarily on account of payment of principal portion of lease liabilities, payment of interest portion of lease liabilities, repayments of current borrowings and interest paid by our Company.
For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 359. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate positive cash flow from investing and financing activities in the future. This situation may have an adverse effect on our cash flows, future financial performance and results of operations.
24) Our Company, Directors and Promoters are involved in certain legal proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may render us/them liable to liabilities/penalties and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Certain legal proceedings involving our Company, Directors and Promoters are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other appellate authorities. Any adverse decision in such legal 39proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may incur significant legal expenses and management time in defending or pursuing such proceedings, irrespective of their ultimate outcome.
A summary of outstanding litigation proceedings involving our Company, Promoters, Directors, our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is disclosed in accordance with the Materiality Policy adopted by our Board, as disclosed in “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 400, is provided below:

An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may affect our reputation, standing and future business, and could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
25) There have been certain delays in payment of statutory dues in the past. Any delay in payment of statutory dues in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
We are subject to ongoing reporting and compliance requirements and are required to make payments of periodic statutory dues, which we may not be able to undertake at all times. The table below sets forth details of statutory dues paid by our Company in relation to our employees for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024:

Any delay in or non-payment of statutory dues may result in the levy of interest, penalties, fines or other regulatory actions and may also expose us to litigation or other proceedings by the relevant authorities.

Additionally, Shalu Ram Motwani, sister-in-law of our Promoter Prakash Motwani and owner of Unit 4 of our Silvassa Facility, has granted Prakash Motwani, pursuant to a power of attorney dated February 2, 2015, the right to use, possess, conduct business from and lease the aforesaid property. Pursuant to the authority granted under the aforesaid power of attorney, Prakash Naraindas Motwani, for and on behalf of Shalu Ram Motwani, has leased the property to our Company. In the event Shalu Ram Motwani revokes the power of attorney, Prakash Naraindas Motwani will cease to have authority to act on her behalf regarding the lease granted to our Company, and we may need to relocate the operations currently conducted in Unit 4 to other units of the Silvassa Facility. While we believe that our other existing locations can accommodate the operations conducted in Unit 4 currently, any relocation could disrupt operations or increase costs. If we are unable to accommodate such operations at our other existing locations or secure alternative premises on commercially acceptable terms or at all, the operations currently carried out from Unit 4 may be disrupted, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Further, our Registered and Corporate Office, depots and warehouse from where we manage our sales are also on leasehold basis. For further details, see “Our Business - Properties” on page 248. We cannot assure you that we will have the right to occupy these premises in the future, or that we will be able to continue with the uninterrupted use of these premises, which may impair our operations and adversely affect our financial condition. Failure to adhere to the conditions of the lease could require us to relocate our operations, which may impair our operations and adversely affect our financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the lease agreements with third parties in a timely manner or at all. If we are required to vacate the premises for any reason whatsoever including expiry or termination of the lease, we may be unable to identify a suitable location immediately. We cannot assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. If we are required to relocate our business operations, we may suffer a disruption in our operations or have to pay increased charges, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
28) We require a number of approvals, licences, registrations and permits to operate our business and the failure to obtain or renew these licences in a timely manner, or at all, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business operations require us to obtain and renew, from time to time, certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permits under central, state and local government rules in India, generally for carrying out our business and for our manufacturing facilities. A majority of these approvals are granted for a limited duration. While we are required to obtain a number of approvals for legally conducting our business operations and we shall submit the applications for renewal of such approvals, as and when required, during the course of our business operations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain approvals in respect of such applications, or any application made by us in the future. For instance, our Company has made applications for licenses including application to the Pollution Control Committee, Daman, Diu & Nagar Haveli, Daman for obtaining consent to establish for Units 4 to 9 of the Silvassa Facility and applications to the relevant local fire department/fire service authority for obtaining fire NOCs for the Delhi Facility. During the last 3 Fiscals, there have been an instance where our Company has failed to obtain or renew its fire NOC for the Vasai Facility. If we fail to obtain such registrations and licenses or renewals, in a timely manner, we may not then be able to carry on certain operations of our business, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, except for the approvals set out above which is pending, there are 48no material approvals which have been applied for and are yet to be received by our Company. For details, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 405.
The approvals required by us are subject to numerous conditions and we cannot assure you that these would 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. Any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulations in the future, or if the regulations governing our business are amended, we may incur increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which could adversely affect our business. In case we fail to comply with these requirements, or a regulator alleges non- compliance with these requirements, we may be subject to penalties and proceedings may be initiated against us.
The introduction of additional government control or newly implemented laws and regulations, depending on the nature and extent thereof and our ability to make corresponding adjustments, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial conditions. These laws and regulations and the way in which they are implemented and enforced may change from time to time and there can be no assurance that future legislative or regulatory changes will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
29) 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 Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has 153 registered trademarks under various classes of Trademarks Act 1999, 12 copyrights registered under the Copyright Act, 1957 and 4 designs registered under the Designs Act, 2000. For risks specifically relating to our “CONA” / “PM CONA” brand, including its history, ownership refer “Risk Factor 1- Our brand recognition is important for the success of our business. Our inability to maintain our brand name and its recognition could adversely affect our business, prospects and financial performance” on page 22. For details, see “Our Business –Intellectual Property” and “Government and Other Approvals –Intellectual Property” on pages 248 and 405 respectively.
Our existing trademarks may expire, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew them after expiry.
While we have not faced any instances of infringement of our intellectual property rights by third-parties during the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. We may be unable to prevent third parties from seeking to register, acquire, or otherwise obtain trademarks or service marks that are similar to, infringe upon or diminish the value of our trademarks and our other intellectual property rights.
As on the date of the DRHP, we have 48 trademark applications at various stages in India, including pending applications, objections, oppositions, rectification proceedings, refusals, abandoned applications and appellate proceedings.
Our pending and future trademark applications may not be approved. In addition, our current or future trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by third parties or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. Failure to successfully obtain and maintain such registrations could impact our use of such trademarks, which in turn could adversely affect our business.
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. 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. Further, necessary licenses may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, we may decide to settle a claim or action against us, the settlement of which could be costly and time consuming.
30) Our Company and the BRLM have relied on the declaration and the affidavit furnished by the member of our Senior Management, Suresh Premchand Thakur for his educational qualifications included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
49Member of our Senior Management, Suresh Premchand Thakur, has been unable to trace the original marksheet relating to his educational qualification. He has confirmed that the original marksheet was lost during the floods in the year 2005. However, he possesses a School Leaving Certificate issued by S. K. Somaiya Vinaymandir evidencing his completion of XII Grade/Higher Secondary education in 1991. He has also made an application to the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education for issuance of the relevant marksheet. Further, the member of our Senior Management, Janardhan Prasad Lalbihari Mourya, does not possess any formal education. Accordingly, reliance has been placed on declaration and affidavit furnished by the member of our Senior Management, Suresh Premchand Thakur, to our Company and the BRLM in connection with the disclosure of his educational qualification in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our Company and the BRLM have been unable to independently verify the aforesaid educational qualification of Suresh Premchand Thakur through his original marksheet prior to inclusion in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Further, there can be no assurances that our Senior Management personnel, Suresh Premchand Thakur will be able to obtain the relevant marksheet from the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education in future, or at all.
31) Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient or adequate to protect us against all material hazards or business losses, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations are subject to various risks and hazards inherent in the FMEG industry, including breakdowns, failure or substandard performance of equipment, third party liability claims, labor disturbances, employee fraud and infrastructure failure, as well as fire, theft, robbery, earthquake, flood, acts of terrorism and other force majeure events. Our principal types of coverage include fire insurance, burglary insurance and money insurance in relation to property, and stock. For further information, see “Our Business – Insurance” on page 249. In the event of personal injuries, fires or other accidents suffered by our employees or other people, we could face claims alleging that we were negligent, provided inadequate supervision or be otherwise liable for the injuries.
The table below sets forth our total insurance coverage as of the dates indicated: (₹ in millions) Particulars Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Insurance Coverage (A) 906.93 860.01 744.30 Net Assets* (B) 892.56 730.61 612.75 Ratio of Insurance Coverage (A)/(B) 1.02 1.18 1.21 * Net Assets = Property, Plant and Equipment (net block) + Inventory While we believe that the insurance coverage which we maintain would be reasonably adequate to cover the normal risks associated with the operation of our business, to the extent that we suffer loss or damage, for which we have not obtained or maintained insurance, or which is not covered by insurance, which exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims are rejected, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, our insurance policies expire from time to time and we may not be able to renew our policies in a timely manner, or at acceptable cost.
Although no claims relating to loss or theft were made in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 or Fiscal 2024, other than a theft claim at our Patna warehouse that did not exceed the insurance cover, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. We cannot assure you that, in the future, any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured fully, in part or on time, or that we have taken out sufficient insurance to cover all our losses. Further, an insurance claim once made could lead to an increase in our insurance premium, result in higher deductibles and also require us to spend towards addressing certain covenants specified by the insurance companies.
32) Our erstwhile Promoter Group entities, including M/s CONA Industries II and M/s CONA Industries III & IV, have been dissolved in the Financial Year 2027; any residual tax liabilities, regulatory non-compliance, or penalties arising therefrom may adversely affect our Promoters and, indirectly, our Company.
Our Promoter Group previously included two partnership firms namely M/s CONA Industries II and M/s CONA Industries III & IV. M/s CONA Industries II and M/s CONA Industries III & IV were incorporated vide partnership deeds dated August 10, 2007 and March 8, 2010 respectively for the purpose of manufacturing and trading of electrical goods. The businesses and undertakings of both the partnership firms were transferred to CONA Industries Private Limited by way of business transfer agreements each dated August 28, 2019 and effective from September 2, 2019 in order to consolidate and focus business operations. Subsequently, both M/s CONA Industries II and M/s CONA Industries III & IV were dissolved pursuant to dissolution deeds each dated June 11, 502026 and effective from September 2, 2019, prior to the filing of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest with our Company.
There can be no assurance that all compliances, disclosures, or tax assessments relating to these entities have been fully completed or such matters will not be enquired or investigated by the relevant authorities in the future.
Further, any past non-compliance, unassessed tax liability, or proceedings relating to income tax, service tax, GST, partnership law, labour law, or other applicable regulations may result in additional demands, interest, or penalties being imposed on these dissolved entities or on our Promoters.
If any tax demands, regulatory notices, or litigations arise in connection with these entities either prior to or after their dissolution, our Promoters may be required to employ significant time and resources to address such matters.
Since our Promoters were partners in these entities, any such liability may indirectly impact their financial condition of our Promoters and may consequently affect our Company. Any such adverse development may indirectly affect our Company’s reputation, delay in corporate processes, or impact the financial position of our Promoters, which could, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
33) Our inability to successfully implement some or all our business strategies in a timely manner or at all could have an adverse effect on our business.
As part of our strategy aimed towards business growth and improvement of market position, we intend to implement several business strategies, which include: • Grow further into semi- premium segment. • Increase product penetration in existing geographies.
• Scaling operations in the wire segment and introduce cables. • Expand lighting product portfolio through strategic acquisitions Our ability to successfully execute these expansion plans will depend on various factors, including, among others:
• the availability, terms and costs of financing required to fund construction or acquisitions or complete expansion plans; • unexpected delays in completing constructions or acquisitions; • the grant of regulatory approvals;
• our ability to accurately assess market demand, successfully execute our business plans, effectively integrate any new operations, products or facilities, recruit and retain skilled personnel, and respond to changing customer preferences and competitive conditions; and • general economic conditions in such markets.
Our proposed expansion of manufacturing facilities may involve risks relating to project execution, procurement and installation of plant and machinery, commissioning delays, cost overruns, availability of utilities and skilled manpower, capacity ramp-up, operational integration and increased working capital requirements. Any delay or failure in successfully implementing such expansion plans may adversely affect our Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects.
Even if we have successfully executed our business strategies in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our strategies on time and within the estimated budget, or that we will achieve an adequate return on our investment or maintain current or prospective growth rates. Even if we can implement some or all of the initiatives of our business strategy successfully, our operating results may not improve to the extent we anticipate, or at all.
To achieve and maintain future growth, we need to, inter alia, effectively manage our expansion projects, accurately assess new markets, attract new dealers, obtain sufficient financing for our expected capital expenditures, control our input costs, effectively expand, train and manage our employees, maintain sufficient operational and financial controls and make additional capital investments to take advantage of anticipated market conditions. We may not be able to achieve growth in revenues and profits or maintain such rate of growth in the future. Moreover, if we experience extended periods of very rapid growth, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively with available resources.
If we are unable to execute our strategies effectively, and in a timely and successful manner, our business, financial condition and profitability will be adversely affected.
5134) Our business is subject to cyber risks and risks related to information technology systems, and technology failures or an inability to adapt to technological advancements could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) and/or enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) solutions to cover key areas of our operations, procurement, dispatch and accounting. Our IT solutions are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, which could result from cyber-attacks, ransomware attacks, malware, phishing incidents, unauthorised access, system failures, or compromises to physical security, as well as from damaging weather or other acts of nature. A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of our IT systems or infrastructure or those of our third-party service providers, could adversely affect our ability to keep our operations running efficiently, and as a result adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, it is possible that a malfunction of our data system security measures could enable unauthorized persons to access sensitive business data, including information relating to our intellectual property or business strategy or those of our dealers. Any such incident could also result in loss, corruption or unauthorised disclosure of confidential information, business interruption, regulatory investigations, contractual liabilities and reputational harm. While we have not faced any cyber-attack or any significant disruption to our IT infrastructure in the preceding three financial years, any such malfunction or disruptions in future could cause economic losses or cause damage to our reputation.
To mitigate these risks, we have implemented various IT and data security measures such as perimeter firewalls configured on a "default deny" basis with intrusion prevention systems and real-time scanning of network traffic and email for viruses and malicious code, role-based access controls with unique user login IDs and password/multi-factor authentication, and periodic (including daily) data backups with encryption, maintained at a secure storage location and subject to restoration testing to ensure Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
(CIA) of our information. However, the unavailability of, or failure to retain, well trained employees capable of constantly servicing our IT, and/or ERP systems may lead to inefficiency or disruption of our operations and thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.
35) Failures in internal control systems could cause operational errors which may have an adverse impact on our profitability.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size and complexity of operations. Internal control systems comprising policies and procedures are designed to ensure sound management of our operations, safekeeping of our assets, optimal utilization of resources, reliability of our financial information and compliance. The systems and procedures are periodically reviewed and routinely tested and cover all functions and business areas. While we believe that we have adequate controls, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to guarantee effective internal controls in all circumstances. Given the size of our operations, it is possible that errors may repeat or compound before they are discovered and rectified. Our management information systems and internal control procedures that are designed to monitor our operations and overall compliance may not identify every instance of non-compliance or every suspicious transaction. Further, our internal controls may not always be effective in preventing or detecting fraud, employee misconduct, management override of controls, accounting errors or financial reporting irregularities in a timely manner. If internal control weaknesses are identified, our actions may not be sufficient to correct such internal control weaknesses within the required timeframes or at all. Any material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control systems could result in misstatements in our financial reporting, regulatory actions, financial losses, litigation, reputational damage and increased compliance costs. These factors may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
36) Our Promoters, some of our Directors, KMPs and members of Senior Management are interested in our Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses.
Our Promoters are interested in our Company to the extent of their respective shareholding in our Company as well as to the extent of any dividends, bonus or other distributions on such Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that our Promoters will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company.
Further, our Promoters holding Equity Shares may take or block actions with respect to our business which may conflict with the best interests of our Company or those of minority shareholders. For further details on interest of our Promoters, see “Our Promoters and Promoter Group-Interests of Promoters” on page 286.
52Our Promoters, namely Prakash Naraindas Motwani, Neelu Prakash Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani, have extended personal guarantees in favour of our lenders to secure the borrowings availed by our Company and also receive payments towards rent for properties leased by them to our Company and are interested in our Company to that extent. Additionally, our Whole-time Director and Chief Financial Officer, Bhavika Mohit Motwani, through her proprietorship firm, M/s. Growth Industries, receives payment towards rent, for property leased by her to our Company and is interested in our Company to that extent. For further details on interest of our Directors, see “Our Management-Interests of Directors” and “Summary of Related Party Transactions” on pages 271 and 70 respectively.
Further, members of our Senior Management, Saraswati Jaman Singh Rawat and Vikneshwar have availed loans from our Company are interested in our Company to that extent. For Further details, see “Our Management- Interest of Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management” on page 282.
37) Our ability to raise capital at attractive costs depends on our credit ratings. Non-availability of credit ratings or a poor rating may restrict our access to capital and thereby adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.
The cost and availability of capital are, also dependent on several other factors, including our current and future results of operations and financial condition, our ability to effectively manage risks, our brand and our credit ratings. We may be unable to obtain the requisite amount of financing or to secure financing at competitive interest rates if we fail to have favourable results of operations. The following table sets forth details of our credit rating received as on February 11, 2026:
Rating Agency Facility Credit Rating Date Crisil Ratings Debt instruments/facilities BBB+/stable (Reaffirmed) February 11, 2026 Credit ratings reflect the rating agency opinion on various aspects of our business including our management, track record, diversified clientele, increase in scale and operations and margins and operating cycle. While we have not experienced any downgrading in our credit ratings received in the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, any downgrade in our credit ratings or our inability to obtain such credit rating in a timely manner or any non-availability of credit ratings, could increase borrowing costs, and which will give the right to our lenders to review the facilities availed by us under our financing arrangements. Such events could adversely affect our access to capital and debt markets, which in turn adversely affect our interest margins, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
38) Industry information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from an industry report prepared by CARE Analytics and Advisory Private Limited(“CareEdge”), exclusively commissioned and paid for by our Company for the purpose of this Offer.
We have commissioned the report titled “Industry Research Report on Fast Moving Electrical Goods and Wires & Cables” dated September 22, 2026 “CareEdge Report”, which is exclusively prepared for the purposes of the Offer and issued by CareEdge and is commissioned and paid for by our Company, which has been used for industry related data that has been disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our Company, our Promoters and our Directors are not related to CareEdge. CareEdge uses certain methodologies for market sizing and forecasting. Accordingly, investors should read the industry related disclosure in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in this context. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. CareEdge has advised that while it has taken reasonable care to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the CareEdge Report, it believes that the CareEdge Report presents a true and fair view of the industry within the limitations of, among others, secondary statistics and primary research, and it does not purport to be exhaustive, and that the results that can be or are derived from these findings are based on certain assumptions and parameters / conditions. As such, a blanket, generic use of the derived results or the methodology is not encouraged. Further, the CareEdge Report is not a recommendation to invest / disinvest in any company covered in the CareEdge Report. Accordingly, prospective investors should not base their investment decision solely on the information in the CareEdge Report.
The commissioned CareEdge Report also highlights certain industry and market data, which may be subject to assumptions. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and assumptions vary widely among different industry sources. Further, such assumptions may change based on various factors.
53In view of the foregoing, you may not be able to seek legal recourse for any losses resulting from undertaking any investment in the Offer pursuant to reliance on the information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the CareEdge Report. You should consult your own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the CareEdge Report before making any investment decision regarding the Offer.
39) The objects of the Fresh Issue for which the funds are raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial institutions and are based on management estimates. Any revision in the estimates may require us to reschedule our expenditure and may have a bearing on our expected revenues and earnings. Further, if there are any delays or cost overruns, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
A part of our proceeds is proposed to be deployed towards funding marketing expenses for new launches that are unlikely to create any tangible or intangible assets. Further, any variation in the utilization of our Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders’ approval.
The proceeds received from the Offer for Sale will not form part of the proceeds from the Fresh Issue. We propose to use the Net Proceeds towards a) Funding of capital expenditure towards brownfield expansion of manufacturing facility at SIDCUL Property, Haridwar (the “Project”); b) Funding towards purchase of plant, machinery and equipment for various units of our current manufacturing facilities at (i) Vasai Facility, (ii) Haridwar Facility, (iii) Palghar Facility, (iv) Mumbai Facility; and (v) Silvassa Facility; c) Funding towards setting-up of 50 new display showrooms across India; d) Expenditure towards brand building and marketing;
and e) General Corporate Purposes, as set forth in “Objects of the Offer” section on page 102. 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. We incur significant marketing and promotional expenses, particularly in relation to the launch of new products, to create consumer awareness and build brand recognition. Such expenditure is in the nature of revenue expense and does not result in the creation of any tangible or intangible fixed assets for our Company.
A portion of the net proceeds of the Offer is proposed to be utilized towards funding these expenses. While these initiatives are important for strengthening our market presence, there is no assurance that the benefits derived will be commensurate with the costs incurred, and the inability of such initiatives to generate the anticipated consumer traction may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our funding requirements are based on our current business plan and may vary based on various factors including macro- economic and other changes. In view of the dynamic nature of the industry in which we operate, we may have to revise our business plan from time to time and, consequently, the funding requirement and the utilization of proceeds from the Offer may also change.
At this stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the entire Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of competitive environment, business conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. In accordance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, and applicable rules and Regulation 59 and Schedule XX of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company shall not vary the Objects without being authorised to do so by our Shareholders by way of a special resolution.
In the event of any such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such Shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake a variation of Objects of the Offer to use any unutilised Net Proceeds of the Offer, if any, even if such variations are in our interest. This may restrict our ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilised portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of any contract, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our funding requirements are based on our current business plan, internal management estimates, prevailing market conditions and other commercial and technical factors and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent agency. We may have to reconsider our estimates or business plans due to changes in underlying factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as interest rate fluctuations, changes in input cost, and other financial and operational factors. In the event of any variation in actual utilization of the Offer Proceeds, any increased fund deployment for a particular activity may be met from funds earmarked from any other activity and, or, from our internal accruals. Further, any such revision in the estimates may require us to revise our projected expenditure which may have a bearing on our profitability. In addition to this, the estimates of the management may be inaccurate, and we may require additional funds to implement the purposes of the Offer.
54Further, pending utilization of the Net Proceeds towards the objects of the Offer, we will have to temporarily deposit the Net Proceeds with one or more scheduled commercial banks listed in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, in a manner as may be approved by our Board. 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.
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.
40) Our Company may need to increase our compensation levels to remain competitive in attracting and retaining the quality and number of skilled and semi-skilled employees that our business requires.
The success of our operations depends on availability of labour and maintaining good relationship with our workforce. A shortage of skilled/ unskilled personnel or work stoppages caused by disagreements with employees could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. While we have not experienced any major prolonged disruption in our business operations due to disputes or other problems with our work force in the last 3 Fiscals, there can be no assurance that we will not experience any such disruption in the future. Such disruptions may adversely affect our business and results of operations and may also divert the management’s attention and result in increased costs.
The increase in competition for skilled and semi-skilled employees in India, wages in India have, in recent years been increasing at a fast rate. Our Company may need to increase our compensation levels to remain competitive in attracting and retaining the quality and number of skilled and semi-skilled employees that our business requires.
Further, a shortage in the employee pool or general inflationary pressures will also increase our costs towards employee benefits. A significant long-term increase in our employee benefit expense could reduce our profitability, which could, amongst others, impact our growth prospects.
Further, we engage independent contractors through whom we engage contract labour for performance of certain functions at our manufacturing units as well as at our offices. Although we do not engage these labourers directly, we are responsible for any wage payments to be made to such labourers in the event of default by such independent contractors. Any requirement to fund their wage requirements may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and our financial condition. India has stringent labour legislation that protects the interests of workers, including legislation that sets forth detailed procedures for the establishment of unions, dispute resolution and employee removal and legislation that imposes certain financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing relationships with employees, in such areas as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating of employees and work permits.
41) Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, future cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and the restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements.
The declaration and payment of dividends will be recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act, 2013. We may retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. We have not declared any dividend in the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 and we may not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on the factors that our Board deems relevant, including among others, our future earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other financing arrangements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future.
Accordingly, realization of a gain on Shareholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of the Equity Shares. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value. For details of dividend paid by our Company in the past, see “Dividend Policy” on page 290.
42) Our Promoters will continue to retain majority shareholding in our Company subsequent to the Offer, which will allow them to exercise significant influence over our Company. Further, any substantial change in our 55Promoters’ shareholding may have an impact on the trading price of our Equity Shares which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our Promoters and our Promoter Group are majority shareholders of our Company. Upon completion of the Offer, our Promoters and Promoter Group will own [●] Equity Shares, or [●] % of our post-Offer Equity Share capital (assuming full subscription of the Offer).
Accordingly, our Promoters will continue to exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring shareholders' approval, including the composition of our Board, the adoption of amendments to our memorandum and articles of association, the approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or joint ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, lending, investments and capital expenditures. This concentration of ownership also may 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 these shareholders. Our Company cannot assure you that the interest of the Promoters and members of the Promoter Group in any such scenario will not conflict with the interest of other Shareholders or with our Company’s interests. Any such conflict may adversely affect our Company’s ability to execute its business strategy or to operate our Company’s business effectively or in the best interests of the other Shareholders of our Company. Further, any substantial change in our Promoters’ shareholding may have an impact on the trading price of our Equity Shares which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
43) Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale and the proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be paid to the Promoter Selling Shareholder.
The Offer comprises Fresh Issue and Offer for Sale. The Offer for Sale comprises [●]% of the total Offer size.
The Promoter Selling Shareholder will be entitled to the Net proceeds from the Offer for Sale (after deducting applicable Offer expenses shared by the Promoter Selling Shareholder and our Company will not receive any part of the proceeds from the Offer for Sale. For further information, see “The Offer” and “Objects of the Offer” on pages 68 and 102, respectively.
44) Our Directors and Promoters may enter into ventures that may lead to real or potential conflicts of interest with our business.
The interests of our Directors and/or Promoters 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 Promoters, as applicable, may, for business considerations or otherwise, enter into 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 our other Shareholders and which may be harmful to our Company’s interests or the interests of our other Shareholders, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
There can be no assurance that our Promoters or any company controlled by our Promoters will not enter into businesses similar to ours in India 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 future conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Additionally, some members of the Promoter Group, namely Pradeep J Makhija, Varun P Makhija and Sonia P Makhija are involved in similar activities as those conducted by our Company. Accordingly, due to the conflict of interest, or to the extent that competing business operations are offered by the member of the Promoter Group, the same may erode our Company's market share and our Company may not be able to effectively manage any such conflict or competitive pressures and, consequently, the business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. Our Company has entered into non-compete agreements with Promoter Group members Pradeep J Makhija, Varun P Makhija and Sonia P Makhija, as well as with Bhavika Mohit Motwani, our Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Financial Officer, who is associated with these Promoter Group members.
45) Not all of our Directors have prior experience of holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock Exchanges.
56None of our Directors, except Anjana Haresh Motwani and Ronak Jhuthawat, Independent Director, have prior experience of directorship in any of companies listed on recognized stock exchanges, therefore, they will be able to provide only limited guidance in relation to the affairs of our Company post listing. While our Executive Directors have experience in the FMEG industry, directorship of a listed company has a wide range of responsibilities, including, among others, ensuring compliance with continuing listing obligations, monitoring and overseeing management, operations, financial condition and trajectory of our Company.
Given that our Directors, except Anjana Haresh Motwani and Ronak Jhuthawat, Independent Director, lack prior listed-company experience, we cannot assure you that they will be able to adequately manage all aspects of our obligations as a listed entity. This may result in limited guidance in certain areas and could adversely impact our ability to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls, procedures and internal controls as required under applicable law. Any such shortcomings could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, reputation and compliance posture. For further details, see titled “Our Management” on page 266.
46) Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.
We have, in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, included various operational and financial performance indicators and certain non-GAAP measures. Some of these measures may not be derived from our Restated Financial Information and may not have been subjected to an audit or review by our Statutory Auditor, and each of which is a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, IFRS, or U.S. GAAP. Further, such measures and indicators are not defined under Ind AS, IFRS, U.S. GAAP, or other accounting standards and, therefore, should not be viewed as substitutes for performance, liquidity, or profitability measures under such accounting standards. The manner in which such operational and financial performance indicators, including industry-related statistical information, are calculated and presented, and the assumptions and estimates underlying or used in such calculation, may vary from that used by other similarly placed companies in India and other jurisdictions.
In addition, such measures are not standardised terms, hence, a direct comparison between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate such measures differently from us, limiting the usefulness of such non- GAAP measures as a comparative metric. Further, these measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/(loss) for the periods, or any other measure of financial performance, or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability, or cash flows generated by operating, investing, or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. Investors are accordingly cautioned against placing undue reliance on such information in making an investment decision and are cautioned that they should consult their own advisors and evaluate such information in the context of the Restated Financial Information and other information relating to our business and operations included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
47) Any downturn in the macroeconomic environment in India could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and profitability.
Our Company is incorporated in India and we derive our revenue from operations in India. As such, our financial performance depends significantly on the condition of the Indian economy. Factors that may adversely impact the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations and cash flows, include:
• any increase in inflation in India; • any exchange rate fluctuations, imposition of currency controls and restrictions on the right to convert or repatriate currency; • 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;
• prevailing income conditions among Indian companies and consumers; • changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies; • downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by rating agencies; • changes in political environment on account of elections;
57• changes in laws or regulatory environment; • geopolitical tensions; • political instability, terrorism or military conflict in India or in countries in the region or globally; • macroeconomic factors and central bank regulation, including in relation to interest rates movements, which may in turn adversely impact our access to capital, fund raising avenues and increase our borrowing costs;
• occurrence of natural or manmade disasters or outbreak of an infectious disease or epidemic such as COVID- 19 or any other force majeure events in the region or globally, including in India’s neighbouring countries;
• volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, India’s principal stock exchanges; • prevailing regional or global economic conditions; • any decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves which may affect liquidity in the Indian economy; and • India’s foreign trade policies Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy or certain regions in India, could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition as well as price of the Equity Shares. While we have not been materially affected by such a slowdown in the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, any future downturn in the macroeconomic environment in India could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. See “Natural disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations” on page 59.
48) Changing regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.
Our business, financial performance, cash flow and results of operations could be adversely affected by unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations applicable to us and our business. Our business, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. may be adversely impacted, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy. The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change.
The Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
We are subject to laws and government regulations, including in relation to safety, health, environmental protection and labour. For instance, the Government of India enacted ‘The Code on Social Security, 2020’ which received the assent of the President of India. Some provisions of this code came into force on November 21, 2025 (in addition to certain of the provisions there under notified already) and other remaining provisions will come into force on such date as may be notified in the official gazette by the Central Government and different dates may be appointed for different provisions of this code; The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 received the assent of the President of India on September 28, 2020 and came into force on November 21, 2025. The Government of India enacted ‘The Code on Wages, 2019’ which received the assent of the President of India. Some provisions of this code came into force on November 21, 2025(in addition to certain of the provisions thereunder notified already) and other remaining provisions will come into force on such date as may be notified in the official gazette by the Central Government and different dates may be appointed for different provisions of this code. Certain provisions of the Labour Codes will come into force on such date as may be notified in the official gazette by the Central Government and different dates may be appointed for different provisions of this code. We are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future and increase our expenses.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, 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. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects. 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 financial conditions, cash flow and results of operations.
5849) Natural disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.
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, financial condition or cash flows. 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 neighbouring 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.
50) Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors outside India may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Ind AS. Ind AS differ in certain significant respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors outside India may be familiar.
No attempt has been made to reconcile any information given in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus to any other principles or to base it on any other standards. If our financial statements were to be prepared in accordance with such other accounting principles, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be substantially different. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons unfamiliar with Ind AS and other Indian accounting principles on the financial information presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
51) We may be affected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which could adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“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 (“CCI”) to prevent such practices. Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition (“AAEC”) is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties.
Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or the provision of services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company, that person shall be also guilty of the contravention and may be punished.
Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. In the event we pursue an acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The manner in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the business environment in India may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) was notified on April 11, 2023, which amends the Competition Act and give the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition 59and the interests of consumers. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti- competitive agreements and abuse of dominant position. We have not experienced any instances wherein we were subject to any penalty or received any notice from the CCI in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you such instances will not arise in the future.
52) The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulation or ordinances could be enacted at any time, or interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, any of which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. While we did not experience any material impact on our operations and financial performance due to changes to tax laws in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, 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 affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
For example, the Government of India has enacted the Income-tax Act, 2025 and Income-tax Rules, 2026, to repeal and replace the Income-tax Act, 1961 and Income-tax Rules, 1962 respectively with effect from April 1, 2026, which introduces a new tax year, consolidates and restructures compliance, expands digital-first administration, and clarifies the scope of virtual digital assets and digital record-keeping. While the reform aims to simplify administration without changing tax rates, the transition may create interpretive uncertainty and require changes to our systems, controls, contracts, and processes in India. Failure to implement timely changes or accurately comply with could result in higher tax liabilities, cash flow timing impacts from withholding, interest and penalties, increased administrative costs, and disputes. Additional rules, notifications, or technology requirements issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes could be extensive or retrospective and may affect our operations. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. There is uncertainty in regard to the impact of the Income-tax Act, 2025, on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate.
Further, the Government of India has introduced various tax reforms through Finance Act, 2026 for the Financial Year 2027. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business. We cannot predict whether any amendments would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable changes in or existing interpretations, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations, could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. 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 businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future. The investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors to understand their tax liability as per the laws prevailing on the date of disposal of Equity Shares. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares.
53) Any downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by a credit rating agency could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to several factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, all which are outside the control of our Company. Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional external financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur, for example, upon a change of government tax or fiscal policy, which are outside our control. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect our business, cash flows and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.
54) If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our products at a proportional rate in order to pass costs on to our customers thereby reducing our margins.
60Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses.
High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs.
Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to our customers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase the price of our services to pass the increase in costs on to our customers. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Further, the Government of India has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.
55) Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. A loss of investor confidence in other emerging market economies or any worldwide financial instability may adversely affect the Indian economy, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations and the market price of the Equity Shares.
Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could harm our business, our future financial performance and the prices of Equity Shares. Any economic downturn or other factors adversely affecting investments in this sector may result in a decrease in the demand for our services and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
56) The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war and the Iran-Israel conflict on the global economy, energy supplies and raw materials is uncertain, but may prove to negatively impact our business and operations.
The short and long-term implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war and the Iran-Israel conflict are difficult to predict at this time. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have not experienced any material interruptions in our business operations in connection with these conflicts. We continue to monitor any adverse impact that the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the subsequent institution of sanctions against Russia by the United States and several European and Asian countries, and the Israel-Hamas war or the Iran-Israel conflict may have on the global economy in general, on our business and operations and on the businesses and operations of our lenders and other third parties with which we conduct business. To the extent the wars in Ukraine or Israel or the conflict between Iran and Israel may adversely affect our business as discussed above, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on macro-economic conditions, including inflation; disruptions to our global technology infrastructure, including through cyberattack, ransom attack, or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; disruptions in global supply chains; significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources; political and social instability; changes in consumer or purchaser preferences and constraints; volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could negatively affect our business and financial condition.
Risks in Relation to Equity Shares and the Offer
57) Pursuant to listing of the Equity shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional Surveillance Measures (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges in the
order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of the investors.
On and post the listing of equity shares, we may be subject to ASM and GSM by the Stock Exchange(s) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India. These measures have been introduced in order to enhance market 61integrity and safeguard the interest of investors and to alert and advise investors to be extra cautious and carry out necessary due diligence while dealing in such securities.
The criteria for shortlisting any scrip trading on the Stock Exchange(s) under the ASM is based on an objective criterion as jointly decided by SEBI and the Stock Exchange(s) which include market based dynamic parameters such as high low variations, client concentration, close to close price variation, market capitalization, volume variation, delivery percentage, number of unique PANs and price to equity ratio. A scrip is typically subjected to GSM measures where there is an abnormal price rise that is not commensurate with the financial health and fundamentals of a company which inter alia includes factors like earnings, book value, fixed assets and net worth to the equity ratio etc. The price of our equity shares may also fluctuate after the offer due to several factors such as volatility in the Indian and global securities market, our profitability and performance, the performance of our competitors, change in the estimates of our performance or any other political or economic factor. The occurrence of any of the above-mentioned factors may trigger the parameters identified by SEBI and the Stock Exchange(s) for the placing securities under the GSM and ASM framework. In the event our Equity Shares are covered under such pre-emptive surveillance measures implemented by SEBI and the Stock Exchange(s), we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in the relation to trading of our Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example trading either allowed in a week or a month) higher margin requirements of settlement on a trade for trade basis without netting off requirement of settlement on gross basis or freezing price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active market for and trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company.
For further details in relation to the ASM and GSM Surveillance Measures, including criteria for shortlisting and review of Listed Securities, exemptions from shortlisting and frequently asked questions (FAQs), among other details, refer to the websites of the NSE and the BSE.
58) Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under 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. Any capital gain exceeding ₹125,000, realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognized stock exchange, held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be subject to long term capital gains in India, at the rate of 12.50% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). This beneficial rate is, among others, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”). Further, any capital gains realized on the sale of equity shares in an Indian company held for more than 12 months, which are sold using any platform other than a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India at the rate of 12.50% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), without indexation benefits.
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. Such gains will be subject to tax at the rate of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to STT being paid at the time of sale of such shares. Otherwise, such gains will be taxed at the applicable rates.
Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be 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. Generally, 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. Similarly, any business income realized from the transfer of Equity Shares held as trading assets is taxable at the applicable tax rates subject to any treaty relief, if applicable, to a non-resident seller.
59) Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the Offer, and there could be a failure or delay in listing of Equity Shares on the Indian stock exchanges, all of which could adversely impact investors ability to participate in the Offer.
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 Offer 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 Closing Date and trading in the Equity 62Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid Closing Date. There could be a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Indian Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining 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 Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in Equity Shares will commence within the time periods as specified by SEBI. 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.
60) 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 Bidders are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after the Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are required to pay the bid amount on submission of the bid and 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. RIIs can revise or withdraw their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period and until the Bid/Offer Closing Date, but not thereafter. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Offer within such period as may be prescribed under applicable law, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in our Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, financial condition and results of operations may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of our Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell our Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decline on listing.
QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders will not be able to withdraw or lower their bids following adverse developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flow or otherwise, between the dates of submission of their Bids and Allotment.
61) The Offer Price of our Equity Shares and our P/E Ratio may not be indicative of the trading price of our Equity Shares upon listing on the Stock Exchanges subsequent to the Offer and, as a result, you may lose a significant part or all of your investment.
The determination of Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company and the Selling Shareholder in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager through the book building process prescribed under the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The following table sets forth details of our P/E Ratio for financial year ended March 31, 2026.
Particulars Ratio vis-à-vis Floor Price* Ratio vis-à-vis Cap Price* [●] [●] [●] *To be populated at Prospectus stage Further, our Offer Price, the ratio specified above may not be comparable to the market price, market capitalisation and price-to-earnings ratios of our peers and would be dependent on the various factors included under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 124. Accordingly, any valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company in consultation with the BRLM, would not be based on a benchmark with our industry peers. The relevant financial parameters on the basis of which Price Band will be determined, have been disclosed under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 124 and shall be disclosed in the price band advertisement. For details of comparison with listed peers, see “Basis for Offer Price” on page 124.
The market price of our Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the Offer Price. 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. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that investors will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
62) Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and, after the Offer, our Equity Shares may experience price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop.
63Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing does not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for our Equity Shares. Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance that active trading in our Equity Shares shall develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops that it shall continue. The Bidders may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in our Equity Shares.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares after this Offer may be subject to significant fluctuations as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
The market price of our Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other
factors: • our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; • prospects for our business; • quarterly variations in our results of operations; • results of operations that vary from the expectations of research analysts and investors;
• results of operations that vary from those of our competitors; • changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research analysts and investors; • conditions in financial markets, including those outside India;
• a change in research analysts’ recommendations; • announcements by us or our competitors of new services, significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint operations or capital commitments; • announcements by third parties or government entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
• new laws and government regulations or changes in laws and government regulations applicable to our industry; • developments relating to our peer companies in our industry; • change in interest rates;
• additions or departures of Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management; and • general economic and stock market conditions.
The Indian stock markets have, from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected market prices for the securities of Indian companies. As a result, investors in our Equity Shares may experience a decrease in the value of our Equity Shares regardless of our financial performance or prospects.
Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of our Equity Shares.
Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all, and may as a result lose all or a part of your investment.
63) Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute your shareholding, and significant sales of Equity Shares by our major shareholders, may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us, including a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares including through grants of stock options under the employee stock option plan which our Company may adopt, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future issuances of Equity Shares or the disposal of Equity Shares by our major shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur after the completion of this Offer (subject to compliance with the lock-in provisions under the SEBI ICDR Regulations), may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of Equity Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your investment in Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of Equity Shares.
64) Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law, which limit our ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares.
64As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies, including those specified under FEMA and the rules thereunder. Under the foreign exchange control regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI.
If the transfer of shares is not in compliance with such requirements or falls under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then the approval of the RBI will be required for such transaction to be valid. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Indian Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authority. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
Furthermore, 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 a 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, will require prior approval of the GoI, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. Restrictions on foreign investment activities and impact on our ability to attract foreign investors may cause uncertainty and delays in our future investment plans and initiatives.
Additionally, the Indian government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, including situations where there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where the Indian government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in India. These restrictions may require foreign investors to obtain the Indian government’s approval before acquiring Indian securities or repatriating the interest or dividends from those securities or the proceeds from the sale of those securities. There can be no assurance that any approval required from the RBI, or any other government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
For further details, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” beginning on page 456. Our ability to raise any foreign capital under the FDI route is therefore constrained by Indian law, which may adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
65) Foreign investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us or our management.
The enforcement of civil liabilities by overseas investors in our Equity Shares, including the ability to effect service of process and to enforce judgments obtained in courts outside of India may be adversely affected by the fact that we are incorporated under the laws of the Republic of India and all of our executive officers and Directors reside in India. As a result, it may be difficult to enforce the service of process upon us and any of these persons outside of India or to enforce outside of India, judgments obtained against us and these persons in courts outside of India.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code (“Civil Code”) on a statutory basis. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a superior court, within the meaning of that Section, in any country or territory outside India which the Government has by notification declared to be in reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court in India.
However, Section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees not being in the same nature of amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalties.
The United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong, among other countries, have been declared by the Government to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Procedure Code. A judgment of a court of a country which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced in India only by a suit upon the judgment under Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, and not by proceedings in execution.
Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that foreign judgments shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly
adjudicated upon except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or refusal to recognize the law of India in cases to which such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law then in force in India. Under the Civil Procedure Code, a court in 65India shall, upon the production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on record.
The suit must be brought in India within 3 years from the date of judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India.
Further, there are considerable delays in the disposal of suits by Indian courts. It may be unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action is brought in India. Furthermore, it may be unlikely that an Indian court will enforce foreign judgments if it views the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with public policy in India. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval from the RBI under FEMA to repatriate any amount recovered pursuant to execution and any such amount may be subject to income tax in accordance with applicable laws. Any judgment or award in a foreign currency would be converted into Indian Rupees on the date of the judgment or award and not on the date of the payment.
66) Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India is required to offer holders of its Equity Shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of Equity Shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre- emptive rights have been waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the Equity Shares who have voted on such resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. We may elect not to file a registration statement in relation to pre-emptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to you. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of Equity Shares, you may suffer future dilution of your ownership position and your proportional interests in us will be reduced.
67) 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 Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
68) A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company, 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. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the SEBI 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 has concert with others.
Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of the SEBI Takeover Regulations.
69) Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.
66As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources and could constrain our ability to obtain financings on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that any required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign currencies will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our business growth, financial condition and results of operations.
70) Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
71) The insolvency laws of India may differ from those of other jurisdictions with which investors are familiar.
As we are established in India under the Companies Act, any insolvency proceedings relating to us is likely to involve Indian insolvency laws (including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 of India), the procedural and substantive provisions of which may differ from comparable provisions of the local insolvency laws of jurisdictions with which investors are familiar.

Pursuant to a resolution dated September 22, 2026, passed by our Board, our Company has approved the utilisation of the Net Proceeds for the Objects, in accordance with the aforementioned schedule of implementation and deployment.
The fund requirements, proposed deployment of funds and the intended use of the Net Proceeds as set out above is based on our current business plan, internal management estimates, current and valid quotations from vendors/ suppliers, prevailing market conditions and other commercial and technical factors. This fund requirement is after considering internal accruals in respective years.
Additionally, we have relied upon the detailed project report dated September 22, 2026, issued by Multi Engineers Private Limited (“MEPL DPR Report”), an independent firm in respect of the capital expenditure towards the Project and also cost vetting report dated September 22, 2026, issued by Multi Engineers Private Limited (“MEPL CVR Report”), in respect of the capital expenditure towards purchase of plant, machinery and equipment for various units of our current manufacturing facilities at Vasai Facility, Haridwar Facility, Palghar Facility, Mumbai Facility and Silvassa Facility and setting-up of 50 new display showrooms across India. Further, a reference of the MEPL DPR Report and MEPL CVR Report has been included in the section “Material Contracts and Documents for Inspection” on page 484.
However, these fund requirements and proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other independent 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, our business and growth strategies, our ability to identify and implement growth initiatives, competitive landscape, negotiation with vendors/suppliers, variation in cost estimates on account of factors, including changes in design or configuration of our products, changes in technology, general factors affecting our results of operations and access to capital and other external factors such as changes in the business environment or regulatory climate and interest , inflation or increase in the rate of taxation, delays in relation to commissioning and procurement of machinery and equipment, incremental pre-operative expenses which may not be within the control of our management. Further, our Company has received quotations from various vendors and, as of September 18, 2026, has placed order with only one vendor towards which it has made a part payment of ₹14.12 million. Our Company is yet to place the remaining orders or enter into definitive agreements and there can be no assurance that the same vendors would be eventually engaged by us. The typical lead time for delivery from the date of purchase order varies from 40 days to 50 days. This may entail rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements, increasing or decreasing the amounts earmarked towards any of the aforementioned objects, including the expenditure for a particular purpose at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable laws. Our historical capital expenditure may not be reflective of our future capital expenditure plans. Further, in the event, the Net Proceeds are not utilized (in full or in part) for the objects of the Offer during the period stated above due to any reason, including (i) the timing of completion of the Offer; (ii) market conditions outside the control of our Company; and (iii) any other economic, business and commercial considerations, the remaining Net Proceeds shall be utilized in subsequent periods as may be determined by our Company, in accordance with applicable law. For details, see “Risk Factors - The objects of the Fresh Issue for which the funds are raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial institutions and are based on management estimates. Any revision in the estimates may require us to reschedule our expenditure and may have a bearing on our expected revenues 104and earnings. Further, if there are any delays or cost overruns, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. A part of our proceeds is proposed to be deployed towards funding marketing expenses for new launches that are unlikely to create any tangible or intangible assets. Further, any variation in the utilization of our Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders’ approval” on page 54.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws, if the actual utilisation towards any of the Objects, as set out above, is lower than the proposed deployment, such balance will be used towards any other Object including general corporate purposes, provided that the total amount to be utilised towards general corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds, in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In case of a shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds towards meeting the Objects of the Offer, we may explore a range of options including utilising our internal accruals, any additional equity or debt arrangements or both. We believe that such alternate arrangements would be available to fund any such shortfalls. Further, in case of any variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above, increased fund requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, including from internal accruals, if any, available in respect of the other purposes for which funds are being raised in the Offer. In the event that the estimated utilisation of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled financial year is not completely met, due to the reasons stated above, the same shall be utilised in the next financial year, as may be determined by our Company in accordance with the applicable law. Our Company may also utilise any portion of the Net Proceeds, towards the aforementioned Objects of the Offer, ahead of the estimated schedule of deployment specified above.
Means of finance The fund requirements towards the Objects of the Offer are proposed to be entirely funded from the Net Proceeds and internal accruals. Accordingly, we are in compliance with the requirements prescribed under Paragraph 9(C)(1) of Part A of Schedule VIII and Regulation 7(1)(e) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations which require firm arrangements of finance to be made through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised through the Fresh Issue and existing identifiable internal accruals. In case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or any increase in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the Objects, our Company may explore a range of options including utilizing our internal accruals and/ or seeking additional debt from existing and/ or other lenders.

Description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyze, track or monitor the operational and/or financial performance of our Company In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review and assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Restated Financial Information. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools.

Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity or results of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational metric to evaluate our business. For further details please see “Risk Factors – Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.” on page 57.

While the term ‘special tax benefits’ has not been defined under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, for the purpose of this Statement, it is assumed that with respect to special tax benefits available to the Company, the same would include those benefits as enumerated in this Annexure. Any benefits under the taxation laws other than those specified in this Annexure are considered to be general tax benefits and therefore not covered within the ambit of this Statement. Further, any benefits available under any other laws within or outside India, except for those mentioned in this Annexure have not been reviewed and covered by this statement.
The statement outlined below are the special tax benefits available to the Company, and its shareholders under the Income-tax Act, 2025 (‘ITA 2025’ or ‘ the Act’) as amended by Finance Act, 2026 and to the extent applicable the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘ITA 1961’); read with the Income-tax Rules, 2026 and to the extent applicable the Income-tax Rules, 1962; circulars, and notifications thereunder (‘cumulatively referred to as ‘Direct Tax Laws’) ; applicable with effect from April 1, 2026 for Tax Year 2026-27, presently in force in India.
I. Special Direct tax benefits available to the Company A. Corporate tax rate under Section 200 of the ITA 2025 (erstwhile section 115BAA of the ITA 1961) The taxation laws prescribed under section 200 of ITA 2025, wherein domestic companies are entitled to avail a concessional tax rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) on fulfilment of certain conditions. The option to apply this tax rate was available from tax year/financial year (‘FY’) 2019-20 and the option once exercised shall apply to subsequent AYs.
The concessional rate is subject to a company not availing of any of the following deductions under the provisions
of Direct Tax laws: ❖ Section 144 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 10AA of the ITA, 1961): Tax holiday available to units in a Special Economic Zone. ❖ Section 33(8) of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 32(1)(iia) of the ITA, 1961): Additional depreciation.
❖ Section 48 of ITA,2025 (erstwhile Section 33AB of the ITA, 1961): Tea coffee rubber development expenses ❖ Section 49 of ITA,2025 (erstwhile Section 33ABA of the ITA, 1961): site restoration expenses.
❖ Section 45 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 35(1)/35(2AA)/ 35(2AB) of the ITA, 1961): Expenditure on scientific research. ❖ Section 46 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 35AD of the ITA, 1961): Deduction for capital expenditure incurred on specified businesses.
❖ Section 47 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 35CCC/35CCD of the ITA, 1961): expenditure on agricultural extension / skill development. ❖ Deduction under Section 32AD (no direct corresponding provision under the Income-tax Act, 2025 — this was a sunset investment allowance) or Section 33AB (corresponding to section 48 of the Income-tax Act,
2025) or Section 33ABA (corresponding to section 49 of the Income-tax Act, 2025) (Investment allowance in backward areas, Investment deposit account, site restoration fund) ❖ Deduction under any provisions of Chapter VIII other than the provisions of Section 146 of ITA, 2025 or
section 148 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 80JJAA or Section 80M of the ITA, 1961). ❖ No set-off of any loss carried forward or depreciation from any earlier assessment year, if such loss or depreciation is attributable to any of the deductions referred above The total income of a company availing of the concessional rate of 25.168% (i.e., 22% along with surcharge and health and education cess) is required to be computed without set off of any carried forward loss and depreciation 135attributable to any of the aforesaid deductions/ incentives. A company can exercise the option to apply for the concessional tax rate in its return of income filed under Section 263(1) of ITA 2025 (erstwhile section 139(1) of the ITA 1961).
Further, provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (‘MAT’) under Section 206 of ITA 2025 (erstwhile Section 115JB of the ITA 1961) shall not be applicable to companies availing this reduced tax rate, thus, any carried forward MAT credit also cannot be claimed. The provisions do not specify any limitation/ condition on account of turnover, nature of business or date of incorporation for opting for the concessional tax rate.
Accordingly, all existing as well as new domestic companies are eligible to avail themselves of this concessional rate of tax. The Company has opted to apply section 200 of ITA 2025 (erstwhile section 115BAA of the ITA 1961).
B. Deduction with respect to inter-corporate dividends – section 148 of the ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 80M of the ITA, 1961) Earlier, company was liable to pay Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”) on the dividend paid by it to a shareholder and the recipient shareholder was exempt from tax. Pursuant to the amendment made by the Finance Act, 2020, DDT has been abolished and dividend received by shareholders on or after April 1, 2020 is liable to be taxed in their respective hands. The Company is required to deduct Tax at Source (“TDS”) at applicable rate for both resident and non-resident shareholders. For non-resident shareholders, the rate would be subject to the benefit available under applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any) and multi-lateral instruments.
With respect to a resident corporate shareholder, section 148 of the ITA, 2025 (section 80M of the erstwhile ITA,
1961) had been inserted to remove the cascading effect of taxes on inter-corporate dividends during FY 2020-21 and thereafter. The section inter-alia that where the gross total income of a domestic company in any previous year includes any income by way of dividends from any other domestic company or a foreign company or a business trust, there shall be allowed deduction of an amount which will be lower of the following:
❖ Dividends received from such other domestic company or foreign company or business trust; or ❖ Amount of dividend distributed by it on or before the due date.
The “due date” means the date one month prior to the date for furnishing the return of income under sub-section
(1) of section 263 of the ITA, 2025 (erstwhile sub-section (1) of section 139 of the ITA, 1961).
C. Deduction in respect of employment of new employees under section 80JJAA of the Act (corresponding to section 146 of the Income-tax Act, 2025) As per section 80JJAA of the Act, an assessee, to whom provisions of tax audit under section 44AB of the Act (corresponding to section 63 of the Income-tax Act, 2025) applies, is entitled to claim a deduction of an amount equal to thirty per cent of additional employee cost incurred in the course of business in the previous year, for three assessment years including the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which such employment is
provided, subject to the fulfilment of prescribed conditions therein. The deduction under section 80JJAA of the Act is available even if the Company opts for concessional tax rate under section 115BAA of the Act.
However, the Company has not availed any benefit under the above section.
D. Set-off & Carry Forward of Capital Losses As per the provisions of Section 111 of the ITA, 2025, where the company has carried forward capital losses, the same can be carried forward up to next eight Tax Years from the Tax Year in which the loss was incurred and can
be adjusted only against capital gain as follows:
Short term capital loss can be set off against any capital gains (i.e. both Short-Term Capital Gains and Long-Term Capital Gains).
Long term capital loss Can be set off only against Long-Term Capital Gains.
136II. Special Indirect tax benefits available to the Company Nil III. Special Direct tax benefits available to the material subsidiaries Nil IV. Special Indirect tax benefits available to the material subsidiaries Nil V. Special tax benefits available to Shareholders There are no special tax benefits available to the Shareholders of the Company for investing in the shares of the Company. However, such shareholders shall be liable to concessional tax rates on certain incomes under the extant provisions of the direct tax laws as given below.
❖ Dividend income earned by the shareholders would be taxable in their hands at the applicable rates.
However, in case of domestic corporate shareholders, deduction under Section 148 of the Act would be available on fulfilling the conditions (as discussed above). Further, in case of shareholders who are individuals, Hindu Undivided Family, Association of Persons, Body of Individuals, whether incorporated or not, surcharge would be restricted to 15%, irrespective of the amount of dividend.
❖ As per Section 198 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 112A of the ITA, 1961), long-term capital gains arising from transfer of equity shares, or a unit of an equity-oriented fund or a unit of a business trust shall be taxed at the rate of 12.5% (without indexation) subject to prescribed conditions. It is worthwhile to note that tax shall be levied where such capital gains exceed INR 125,000 ❖ As per Section 196 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 111A of the ITA, 1961), short-term capital gains arising from transfer of an equity share, or a unit of an equity-oriented fund or a unit of a business trust shall be taxed at 20%. This is subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions under Direct Tax Laws.
❖ As per Section 159 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 90(2) of the IT Act,1961) non-resident shareholders will be eligible to take the beneficial provisions under the respective Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement ("DTAA"), if any applicable to such non-residents. This is subject to fulfilment of conditions prescribed to avail treaty benefits. Further, any income by way of capital gains or dividend accruing to non-residents may be subject to withholding tax per the provisions of Direct Tax Laws or under the relevant DTAA, whichever is beneficial to such non residents. However, where such non-residents have obtained a lower withholding tax certificate from the tax authorities, the withholding tax rate would be as per the said certificate. The non-resident shareholders can also avail credit of any taxes paid by them, subject to local laws of the country in which such a shareholder is resident.
❖ As regards the shareholders that are Mutual Funds, under Schedule VII of the ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 10(23D) of the IT Act,1961) any income earned by a Mutual Fund registered under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, or a Mutual Fund set up by a public sector bank or a public financial institution, or a Mutual Fund authorised by the Reserve Bank of India would be exempt from income-tax, subject to such conditions as the Central Government may by notification in the Official Gazette specify in this behalf.

1 Economic Outlook
1.1 Global Economy Global Economic Growth Expected to Sustain at ~3% in Near Term Global economic growth is projected to moderate to around 3.1% in 2026, reflecting the impact of geopolitical tensions in energy and trade flows. The ongoing Middle East conflict poses downside risks, with prolonged disruptions potentially reducing growth further to 2.5%, or lower.
However, supportive factors such as continued investment momentum and policy support are helping offset some of these pressures.

1.1.1 Iran Conflict: Delayed Equipment and Construction Materials Threaten Infrastructure Industry The current geopolitical tensions surrounding the Iran conflict in West Asia are having a direct quantifiable impact on India’s consumer industry due to its high dependence on energy imports routed through the Strait of Hormuz. India imports 60% of its LPG demand, of which nearly 90% transits through the Strait of Hormuz route. Given that LPG is a primary cooking fuel for over 300 million Indian households, any disruption in supply chains or increase in freight and insurance costs has an immediate effect on household consumption expenditure and urban demand patterns.
The impact is further amplified by India’s crude oil dependence, with over 85% of total crude requirements being imported, a large share of which travels from West Asia and moves through the Strait of Hormuz route. A significant share of India’s energy cargo, approximately 40–50% of crude oil imports and most LPG imports is routed through the Strait of Hormuz, making it a critical chokepoint for India’s energy security. This has increased fuel prices and shipping costs, directly impacting construction, transportation and logistics expenses for infrastructure projects.
Shipping disruptions have also delayed the movement of equipment and construction materials. Global shipping companies have reported caution and limited operations in the region due to security risks, further increasing freight charges and project delays. These factors can increase project costs and slow infrastructure development timelines in India, although government-led infrastructure spending continues to support long-term growth.
Recent signs of de-escalation in the region have helped stabilize global financial markets and moderate crude oil prices.
However, shipping activity and trade flows through key routes such as the Strait of Hormuz have not yet fully normalized, and risks associated with energy prices, logistics costs, and investor sentiment remain. Nevertheless, India's strong domestic demand, healthy banking sector fundamentals, adequate foreign exchange reserves, and stable regulatory framework are expected to provide resilience to the Indian economy against external shocks.
1.2 Indian Economic Outlook
1.2.1 GDP Growth and Outlook Resilience to External Shocks Remains Critical for Near-term Outlook India’s economy continues to show rapid growth. As per Provisional Estimates, GDP in FY26 is expected to have grown by 7.7%, supported by rising rural demand, better job opportunities and favourable business conditions.
For FY25, First Revised Estimates show a growth of 7.1% (Rs 299.89 trillion), led by robust performance in manufacturing, construction and financial services. Consumer spending rose by 7.7%, and government spending increased by 5.5%, both contributing to the overall growth. In FY23, the real GDP stood at Rs 261.18 trillion and registered Y-o-Y growth of 7.2% in FY24 (Rs 280.01 trillion).

GDP Growth Outlook (June 2026) FY27 GDP Outlook: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) projects real GDP growth at 6.6% for 2026–27, supported by sustained momentum in the services sector, strong reservoir levels aiding the agricultural sector, and private consumption expected to remain uplifted by discretionary spending.
However, elevated energy and other commodity prices, cost pressures, as well as the travel disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are likely to affect the growth this year. However, the government is working towards minimising the impact of the supply chain disruptions towards critical sectors to ensure limited interruptions.

Source: RBI RBI maintained a ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance, even as MPC noted an increase in geopolitical tensions. The growth is expected to be supported by robust private consumption and investment demand. RBI has adopted for a non- inflationary growth with the foundations of strong demand and supply with a good macroeconomic balance. With volatile trade conditions in view, the domestic growth and inflation curve requires the policies to be supportive.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) expects a below normal monsoon, rains in most parts of the country, except in some areas of the northeast, southern peninsula, and northwest India which is likely to affect inflation levels.
The prices of petrol and diesel have increased marginally as the refineries have been absorbing the shocks by reducing the excise duty, despite high global crude oil prices. However, a further hike in prices remains monitorable due to high company losses. The rise in energy prices and weather disturbances affecting food prices are upside risks to inflation.
1.2.4 Gross Value Added (GVA) GVA is the measure of the value of goods and services produced in an economy. GVA gives a picture of the supply side whereas GDP represents consumption. GVA in FY25 was powered by a broad-based rebound across sectors.
In FY26 (PE), real GVA growth of 7.9% is primarily led by manufacturing, Trade, Hotels, Transport, Communication & Services related to Broadcasting, Storage. Industry is estimated at 8.5%, supported by a pickup in manufacturing and construction (10.7% and 7.4% respectively). The gap between GDP and GVA growth stood at 0.2 percentage point in FY26, with GDP growing at 7.7% and GVA at 7.9%.

1.3 Conclusion Global economic growth faces headwinds from geopolitical tensions, volatile commodity prices, high interest rates, inflation, financial market volatility, climate change, and rising public debt. The IMF forecasts GDP growth for India at 6.5% in CY26, far outpacing the estimated CY26 global average of 3.1%. Key drivers include strong domestic demand, government capital expenditure and moderating inflation.
Public investment is expected to exhibit healthy growth as the government has allocated a strong capital expenditure of about Rs 12.20 lakh crores for FY27. The private sector’s intent to invest is also showing improvement as per the 146data announced on new project investments and resilience shown by the import of capital goods. Additionally, improvement in rural demand owing to healthy sowing, improving reservoir levels, and progress in south-west monsoon along with government’s thrust on capex and other policy support will aid the investment cycle in gaining further traction.
As of June 2026, India–US trade negotiations are ongoing, and the final Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) has not yet been concluded. In February 2026, both countries announced a framework for an Interim Agreement aimed at promoting reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade. Under this framework, the United States proposed an 18% reciprocal tariff rate on Indian goods, while also indicating the possible removal of tariffs on sectors such as generic pharmaceuticals, gems and diamonds, aircraft parts and certain engineering products, subject to finalisation of the agreement.
India continues to strengthen its position through diversification of trade partnerships and expansion of FTAs with the EU, UK, EFTA and other economies. This, along with India’s growing manufacturing capacity and supply-chain integration, supports its competitiveness in sectors such as electronics, textiles, pharmaceuticals and auto components.
A ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran is expected to be finalized soon; however, a permanent truce between the two remains uncertain. The Iran conflict has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and LPG trade, handling a significant share of India’s energy imports and playing a vital role in maintaining stable supply chains. Any disruption in this region can affect shipping routes, increase freight and insurance costs, and create supply-side uncertainties for energy imports. Prolonged geopolitical tensions or conflict in the region could lead to sustained increases in crude oil and LPG prices, which may translate into higher input costs across industries and contribute to inflationary pressures in the Indian economy.

Source: Inkwood Research, CareEdge Research; Note: P-Projection Non-Modular Switches The non-modular switches segment represents the legacy foundation of India’s electrical switches market. For decades, these conventional switches were the default choice across homes, offices, schools, and government buildings due to their affordability, ease of installation, and widespread availability. In the early stages of the industry’s development, demand was largely driven by electrification, housing construction, and the need for basic electrical infrastructure, allowing non-modular switches to dominate the market.
However, the market narrative has gradually shifted. As India’s residential real estate sector evolved and consumers became increasingly conscious of aesthetics, safety, and interior design, modular switches began capturing market share from traditional products. Despite this transition, non-modular switches continue to maintain a significant presence, particularly in rural markets, affordable housing projects, replacement demand, and price-sensitive applications where functionality remains the primary purchase criterion. Their lower upfront cost and familiarity among electricians continue to support demand.
Looking ahead, the non-modular segment is expected to witness slower growth than the overall switches market.
Expansion in rural electrification, government housing schemes, and renovation activities will continue to generate demand, but the segment is likely to gradually lose share to modular alternatives. Consequently, the future of non- modular switches is expected to be driven more by volume demand from value-conscious consumers rather than by premiumization or product innovation. While the category will remain relevant, its role within the industry is increasingly transitioning from a dominant growth engine to a mature and replacement-driven market segment.

Source: Company Annual Reports and Financials Revenue from Operations PM CONA recorded revenue from operations of Rs 4,039.25 million in FY26, up from Rs 3,360.16 million in FY24, implying a CAGR of approximately 9.64%. Revenue growth moderated from 12.17% in FY25 to 7.17% in FY26.
While PM CONA operates at a substantially smaller scale than the listed peers, its revenue growth over FY24-FY26 was broadly comparable with Havells India and Orient Electric, though below V-Guard Industries. Havells' FY26 revenue performance reflected a mixed demand environment, with infrastructure and industrial-facing categories providing support while consumer-facing categories, including air conditioners, experienced softer demand amid a subdued summer season. Havells has also continued to broaden its portfolio and strengthen its distribution ecosystem through its “ONE Havells” strategy. V-Guard, meanwhile, has highlighted broad-based growth and increasing contribution from non-South markets. Orient Electric's strategy has focused on strengthening its core consumer electrical portfolio, expanding distribution and improving the product mix.
Total Income PM CONA's total income increased from Rs 3,377.96 million in FY24 to Rs 4,067.99 million in FY26, broadly tracking the growth in revenue from operations. The difference between revenue from operations and total income remained relatively limited across the period, indicating that the Company's income profile is predominantly driven by its core operations. This is broadly comparable with the selected peers, for whom revenue from operations also constitutes the predominant component of total income. The larger peers, however, benefit from significantly greater scale and more 214diversified product portfolios, with Havells operating across 24 product categories and V-Guard having exposure across electricals, electronics and consumer durables.
EBITDA PM CONA's EBITDA increased from Rs 353.33 million in FY24 to Rs 465.08 million in FY26, representing a CAGR of 14.59%. EBITDA growth accelerated particularly in FY25, before moderating in FY26. In comparison, Havells' EBITDA increased by approximately 19.94% between FY24 and FY26, while V-Guard's EBITDA increased by approximately 18.11% over the same period. V-Guard has attributed improvement in profitability to factors including higher in-house manufacturing, cost-efficiency initiatives and a gradual shift towards a more premium product portfolio. Havells has similarly emphasised in-house manufacturing, innovation and portfolio premiumisation, while its FY26 profitability was supported by its diversified portfolio despite softer consumer demand in certain categories.
PM CONA's EBITDA growth therefore indicates improving operating profitability, although its smaller scale limits the benefits of operating leverage available to larger peers.
EBITDA Margin PM CONA's EBITDA margin improved materially from 10.54% in FY24 to 11.51% in FY26, an expansion of approximately 97 basis points. At 11.51% in FY26, PM CONA's margin was higher than Havells India at 9.85%, V- Guard Industries at 7.34% and Orient Electric at 6.89%. V-Guard has indicated that its margin improvement has been supported by greater in-house manufacturing, cost-saving initiatives and premiumisation, while also noting that operating leverage remains an important driver of future margin expansion. Orient Electric's margin improvement has similarly been supported by pricing actions, cost optimisation and product premiumisation. Havells' FY26 EBITDA margin remained broadly stable with higher operating costs and a mixed demand environment partly offsetting the benefit from its diversified portfolio. PM CONA's higher margin should, however, be interpreted in the context of differences in product mix, scale and business diversification.
PAT PM CONA's PAT increased from Rs 223.59 million in FY24 to Rs 308.30 million in FY26, representing a CAGR of
17.43%. PAT growth was supported by both operating improvement and better earnings conversion. Among the listed peers, Havells generated PAT of Rs 17,054.20 million in FY26, while V-Guard and Orient Electric reported Rs 2,593.70 million and Rs 958.40 million, respectively. Havells' FY26 earnings benefited from its diversified portfolio and relatively stable operating margins, while V-Guard's profitability was supported by improved margins and broad-based growth. Orient Electric's recent performance has been characterised by improving operating profitability, supported by premiumisation, pricing and cost optimisation. PM CONA's earnings growth is therefore favourable relative to its revenue growth, although its absolute earnings remain substantially smaller than those of the larger peers.
PAT Margin PM CONA's PAT margin increased from 6.65% in FY24 to 7.63% in FY26, an improvement of 98 basis points. At
7.63% in FY26, PM CONA's PAT margin was marginally higher than Havells India's 7.59% and materially above V- Guard Industries' 4.56% and Orient Electric's 2.88%. The improvement in PM CONA's PAT margin broadly tracks the expansion in EBITDA margin, indicating improvement in operating profitability rather than revenue growth alone. V- Guard's lower FY26 margin reflects the broader mix of its businesses and the profitability profile of its consumer durables portfolio, while Orient Electric continues to be in a margin recovery phase following its focus on portfolio rationalisation, premiumisation and cost optimisation.
ROCE PM CONA's ROCE increased from 25.54% in FY24 to 26.79% in FY26, but remained relatively strong compared with the selected peers. Its FY26 ROCE exceeded Havells India's 24.79%, V-Guard Industries' 17.62% and Orient Electric's
22.81%. Havells also reported lower return ratios in FY26, with its annual-report analysis attributing the decline 215primarily to lower asset turnover. V-Guard's return metrics remain lower than PM CONA's, reflecting the relatively larger capital employed across its diversified business and manufacturing footprint. Orient Electric has been working on improving profitability and operating leverage, which should support returns as utilisation improves.
ROE PM CONA's ROE declined from 22.26% in FY24 to 19.99% in FY26, although it continued to compare favourably with most selected peers. Its FY26 ROE was higher than V-Guard Industries at 12.28% and Orient Electric at 13.18%, and marginally above Havells India at 19.15%. The relatively high ROE indicates that PM CONA has continued to generate healthy returns on shareholders' funds despite the increase in its equity base. The decline over FY24-FY26, however, suggests that growth in shareholders' equity has outpaced the corresponding increase in net earnings. The listed peers' lower ROE levels are partly reflective of their significantly larger equity bases and greater diversification across product categories and businesses. Havells' own FY26 return ratios were affected by lower asset turnover, while V-Guard's returns remain influenced by the capital intensity and mix of its business portfolio.
Debt / Equity PM CONA's debt-to-equity ratio declined from 0.15x in FY24 to effectively zero in FY26, indicating a significant reduction in financial leverage. By FY26, PM CONA was broadly comparable with V-Guard Industries, which reported effectively debt-free positions, and was slightly ahead of Orient Electric Limited at 0.03x. V-Guard has separately highlighted the repayment of its term loan related to the Sunflame acquisition and its return to a debt-free position, supporting lower finance costs and stronger cash generation. PM CONA's movement to a debt-free position is therefore a positive balance-sheet development and enhances its financial flexibility, although its debt levels were already relatively modest at the beginning of the period.
Working Capital Management PM CONA's working capital cycle remained relatively elevated compared with the selected listed peers, with its cash conversion cycle increasing from 132 days in FY24 to 140 days in FY26. The increase in FY26 was primarily driven by a increase in debtor days and inventory days. Debtor days remained higher than those of Havells India, V-Guard Industries and Orient Electric at 17 days, 33 days and 63 days, respectively. PM CONA's inventory days increased from 73 days in FY25 to 84 days in FY26, but remained below Havells at 102 days in FY26. Creditor days increased from 27 days in FY25 to 35 days in FY26, although they remained below those of the selected peers. Consequently, PM CONA's relatively higher debtor days and lower creditor days, together with its inventory holding period, resulted in a higher cash conversion cycle compared with the selected peers. The relatively high receivables and comparatively lower supplier-credit period indicate scope for improvement in working capital efficiency through enhanced receivables management and optimisation of inventory and supplier-credit terms.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGIES Grow further into Semi- Premium Modular segment.
As per CareEdge Report, the modular category can be further divided into Economy Modular, Standard Modular, Semi- Premium Modular and Premium Modular segments, based primarily on product design, material and finish, features, durability and price positioning. Economy modular switches cater to mass-market consumers seeking basic functionality and reliability at accessible price points. Standard modular switches offer a broader range of designs and finishes, along with enhanced build quality and functionality, and cater to mainstream residential and commercial applications. Semi-premium modular switches are positioned between the standard and premium segments, offering enhanced aesthetics, finishes, functionality and build quality for consumers seeking a balance between price and features. Premium modular switches are positioned at the higher end of the market and typically offer superior materials and finishes, greater design sophistication, enhanced durability and safety features and, in certain product ranges, compatibility with smart-home applications.
226As on July 31, 2026, we had 385 SKUs in the Semi- Premium Modular segment contributing to only 12.31 % of our total revenue from our modular switches and accessories category. As per CareEdge Report, the market is increasingly being shaped by premiumisation, greater penetration of organised brands and rising consumer interest in smart and connected electrical solutions. As consumers place greater emphasis on aesthetics, safety, convenience and product quality, demand is expected to increasingly shift towards modular switch offerings, including semi-premium and premium categories. Further, as per the CareEdge Report, Industry leaders are also witnessing growing consumer preference for premium fans, modular switches, smart lighting, energy-efficient LEDs, and BLDC-based appliances.
Premiumization has become a key structural theme, with companies increasingly focusing on higher-value product portfolios rather than volume-led growth alone. With the increasing premiumization across several FMEG categories, we intend to capitalize on this opportunity by expanding further into the Semi-Premium Modular segment.
A substantial portion of our modular switches and accessories category portfolio is positioned in the affordably priced Standard Modular segment, which has helped us build relationships with dealers in Tier II and Tier III cities. As of July 31, 2026, we had 57 SKUs in the Economy Modular segment, 384 SKUs in the Standard Modular segment and 385 SKUs in the Semi-Premium Modular segment.

Procurement and raw materials Our Company's key raw materials are: (i) polymers (granules used for the molding of product casings and components); (ii) urea; (iii) metals, primarily brass (used in switches and accessories) and copper (used in 244switchgear and wires); and (iv) packaging materials. The total cost of materials and components consumed amounted to ₹ 2,553.92 million, ₹ 2,391.14 million and ₹ 2,160.40 million, accounting for 69.98 %, 70.02 % and
70.22 %, respectively, of our total expenses in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
The procurement team identifies the Bill of Materials (BOM) for finished goods, monitors current stock levels, and conducts a Material Requirement Planning (MRP) exercise that factors in available inventory, confirmed purchase orders awaiting delivery, safety stock, reorder quantities, maximum and minimum order quantities, and item-wise lead times. The resulting MRP sheet is reviewed and approved by the Whole-time Director, Mohit Prakash Motwani, following which the procurement executive raises purchase requisitions in the ERP system.
For price discovery, the team evaluates likely price movements through material-specific market indicators, including crude oil trends and demand-supply ratios for polymers, metal and copper scrap prices for Brass, paper rates for packing material, and key ingredient price trends for LED and OEM items. Request for Quotations ("RFQs") are then issued to generally at least three registered vendors, with received quotations assessed on the basis of net landed cost, payment terms, delivery timelines, quality, and supplier ranking; suitable suppliers are thereafter identified and negotiations are carried out. Upon the Whole-time Director, Mohit Prakash Motwani’s approval of the final comparative quote analysis statement, purchase orders containing all relevant details are generated in the ERP system and dispatched to vendors for confirmation.
We usually maintain 30 days of inventory of raw materials and work-in-progress goods at our facilities. The ability to store raw materials and work in progress goods at our facilities enables us to manage disruptions in supply as well as volatility in the price of raw material. We plan our inventory levels based on historical levels of sales, actual sale orders on hand and the anticipated production requirements taking into consideration any expected fluctuation in raw material prices and delivery delays. We store our finished products at our depots and warehouse.
Quality Assurance We believe in the importance of quality and strive to improve our product quality and manufacturing processes through the continuous upgradation of our manufacturing and testing facilities. This enables us to ensure that each product conforms to the applicable Indian Standards (“IS”) specifications.
For each manufacturing process, we maintain detailed quality plans in the form of process flow plans and inspection plans. These plans specify the stages of verification, validation, monitoring and inspection for quality control, along with the applicable acceptance criteria. Our quality control measures cover the entire manufacturing process, from procurement of raw materials to production, inspection and delivery, to ensure consistent product quality.
With respect to supplier management, all purchases are made from our approved list of suppliers. Existing suppliers are assessed based on past performance, including reliability and delivery performance, as recorded in our supplier evaluation reports. Suppliers are evaluated annually through our supplier rating records, contracts are reviewed every three years, and outsourced manufacturing suppliers are evaluated through site visits every six months.
During production, quality control is conducted in accordance with applicable ISI inspection norms, and sub- assembly stages are verified at each level in accordance with the applicable inspection plan for both outsourced and in-house production. Moulding, a special process within our manufacturing operations, is validated periodically, and both outsourced and in-house moulding are monitored in accordance with the inspection plan, with records duly maintained. In the event of non-conformance, products that do not meet our defined requirements are identified and controlled. Any deviation from defined process measurement criteria, as well as any customer complaint, is treated as a nonconformity. Nonconforming products are corrected and re-verified after correction, and where nonconformity is detected after delivery, appropriate action is taken.
Our management team is responsible for establishing, implementing, integrating, maintaining and improving the Quality Management System through regular monitoring and measurement, supported by effective communication across all levels of the organisation.
We conduct an internal audit annually, in accordance with our audit calendar, to determine whether our Quality Management System conforms to the planned arrangements and the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, and whether it has been effectively implemented and maintained. In addition, management reviews the Quality Management System annually during the management review meeting to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and 245effectiveness. Our products comply with applicable Indian Standards, including IS 3854:1997, IS 1293:2005, IS 371:1999 and IS 11037:1984 Sales and Marketing Our marketing strategy focuses on building our brand, driving consumer demand, and strengthening relationships with dealers and electricians across the electrical products value chain. Our marketing initiatives include below- the-line ("BTL") channels and are supported by our pan-India distribution network and dedicated sales and marketing personnel. As of July 31, 2026, we had a dedicated team of 124 employees in our sales and marketing team, who manage and coordinate with our dealers. Our marketing and brand promotion expenses in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 were ₹ 100.85 million, ₹ 85.06 million and ₹ 73.14 million, respectively.
Below-the-Line (BTL) Marketing Activities Our BTL marketing activities are focused on driving targeted engagement with our dealers and electricians and on building point-of-sale visibility across our distribution network. Our BTL marketing includes the following:
Electrician engagement and reward program We conduct electrician meets as part of our influencer engagement and outreach activities. These on-ground engagements are designed to educate and engage electricians on our product range, quality credentials and brand positioning, and to deepen our relationships with this key influencer segment.
Electricians are key influencers in the electrical products value chain and play a critical role in driving product selection and purchase decisions by end consumers. Accordingly, we have designed a structured loyalty and reward program to incentivise and sustain engagement with electricians.
Under this program, eligible products carry coupons which can be redeemed by electricians through a simple scan-and-redeem mechanism. Participants can scratch the coupon, photograph the QR code or coupon, and send it via WhatsApp to register their redemption, following completion of a one-time mobile registration and KYC process. Points or monetary amounts earned are credited to the participant's registered account, including through auto-credit by the 10th of the following month, and can be redeemed as monetary rewards by sending a redemption request and confirming the same. Gift and electrician coupons are also provided inside the packaging of select product ranges, including the Status range, Estella range and Platinum range, as an additional mechanism to incentivize electricians and promote these product lines.
Dealer Meets and incentive program We conduct dealer meets as part of our channel engagement and promotional strategy. These events serve as platforms to strengthen our relationships with dealers, communicate product launches and brand initiatives, share marketing and sales updates, and incentivize dealer performance and loyalty.
Retailer incentive program Our retail incentive program, known as the PM PRAGATI Retailer Rewards Program, is a structured loyalty scheme designed to reward retailers for purchasing our eligible products.
Under the scheme, the eligible products supplied to retailers carry PM PRAGATI reward coupons and the retailers can scan the QR code printed on the reward coupon, found inside sealed boxes, through the PM PRAGATI Retailer App to earn reward points.
Retailers can participate by downloading the PM PRAGATI Retailer App via a QR code or from the Android Play Store or Apple App Store and must complete a one-time registration on the app. Reward points are credited to the retailer's PM PRAGATI Retailer App account after successful verification. Retailers can then redeem their accumulated reward points directly to their registered bank account through the app, subject to a minimum redemption of ₹ 500. Each reward coupon can be scanned only once by the retailer, and retailers must register using their own mobile number and bank account details. To register, retailers are required to provide documents including a GST Certificate or Shop License, Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, and bank account details for reward transfers. Eligibility for the program is restricted to verified retailers, excluding direct dealers.
246In-shop branding and point-of-sale visibility We undertake in-shop branding initiatives to enhance the point-of-sale presence and visibility of our products across our retail counters. We also provide branded marketing collateral to our dealers to support product display and brand communication at the retail level. These initiatives are intended to increase brand recall and product visibility at the point of purchase, which we believe is a critical determinant of consumer purchase decisions in the modular switches and accessories segment.
Distribution Network We have an established supply chain supported by a network of dealers which include both retail counters and wholesalers. We supply our products to dealers, who further on sell our products to end customers across India, with electricians being the key influencers. As of July 31, 2026, we had a network of 2,739 dealers. We manage our sales and marketing operations through our Registered and Corporate Office, 19 depots and 1 warehouse located across 16 states and Union Territories.
We onboard dealers through a registration form and verification process. Upon completion, the dealer is authorized to market and sell our products in accordance with our policies and may describe itself as an “authorized dealer.” We also establish sales policies that set out the general terms and conditions governing our relationship with authorized dealers.
Our sales policy prescribes, among others, our credit policy, freight policy, payment policy, prices and trade discounts, dealer incentive schemes encompassing maximum benefits that may be allowed to a dealer against early payment and achievement of sales targets. Our annual sales targets vary for our dealers, and we offer, among others, monthly/ quarterly and annual turnover discounts on the pre-tax sales value on achievement of minimum sales targets. Our dealers are responsible for making payments for our products sold by us within timelines stipulated in our sales policy and we offer cash discounts against early receipt of payment. The credit period extended to our dealers is up to 90 days from the date of the invoice.
We also offer higher benefits on advance payment or when dealers are onboarded to our channel financing program. We use channel financing facilities in relation to certain receivables from customers. The channel financing facility facilitates our financing needs, whereby our customers enter into arrangements with banks through which we receive payment directly from the banks, who in turn take credit risk and seek to collect outstanding dues from our customers. We typically provide guarantees to the financial institutions for the amount owed by our customers under the channel financing facilities. Channel financing reduces our risk of non-payment and significantly increases the speed at which we receive payment, as we receive payment directly from banks.
Finished goods from the six manufacturing facilities are sent to our depots and warehouse. We manage our sales and marketing operations through our Registered and Corporate Office, 19 depots and 1 warehouse located across 16 states and Union Territories. The depots are leased by our Company and are Company-managed premises, with inventory ownership, operational expenses and associated licenses maintained by our Company. Carrying-and- 247Forwarding ("C&F") agents manage the day-to-day operations at each depot and are incentivized based on their performance.
Our depots are located in close proximity to our dealers to ensure timely supplies and to avoid any unnecessary capital expenditure we may incur from setting up production facilities with sub-optimal capacities. The close proximity of our depots to our customers also enables us to mitigate the additional costs of transportation.
Pricing Our products are offered at various price points. Our sales and marketing team takes into consideration the margins of intermediaries at different stages, in accordance with market practice, and applicable taxes to arrive at the list price of our offerings. Our products are priced competitively amongst our competitors.
Competition As per the CareEdge Report, the Indian FMEG industry remains highly competitive, with the presence of large organized players, regional manufacturers, and numerous unorganized participants across multiple product categories. While established brands compete through product innovation, distribution reach, and brand equity, smaller players often compete aggressively on price, particularly in value-oriented product segments. This fragmented competitive landscape can exert pressure on margins and limit pricing flexibility for manufacturers.
Additionally, the continuous entry of new brands and expansion of existing players into adjacent product categories has intensified competition across switches, switchgear, lighting, fans, and electrical accessories. As premiumization and product differentiation become increasingly important, companies must continue investing in branding, innovation, and channel development to sustain market share and profitability.
Our Company competes in highly crowded categories such as switches, switchgear, lighting, and accessories, where customers can compare many similar products on price, design, and brand trust. Additionally, our portfolio spans across both semi-premium and value-oriented lines, exposing us to pressure from larger national brands as well as lower-priced regional players.
We strengthen our brand through print and social media advertising and direct engagement with dealers. Our seven laboratories, located across our manufacturing facilities, support product design, innovation, and quality control. These R&D capabilities also help our sales and marketing teams understand customer requirements more effectively.
Intellectual Property Our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani, pursuant to the assignment deed dated September 29, 2025, irrevocably and unconditionally assigned and transferred, 193 trademarks (of which 152 trademarks were registered) and 12 registered copyrights, along with all his rights, title, interest and benefits in connection with such intellectual property rights, together with goodwill accrued to them, for a total consideration of ₹ 0.50 million, to our Company.

For further details, see “Our Business—Manufacturing Facilities” on page 239.
Information Technology 248We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) and/or enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) solutions to cover key areas of our operations, procurement, dispatch and accounting.
We have adopted a combination of digital and physical initiatives for our dealers and retailers. Our dealer incentive program and retailer incentive program is managed through the following mobile phone application.
Dealer application Retailer application The PM Parivaar app has approximately 1,306 dealers registered on it and the PM Pragati app has approximately 3,860 retailers registered on it. These mobile applications help us to track user-wise primary and secondary sales and incentivize them through initiatives such as loyalty tier upgrades and long-term reward bonus points. It provides insights on which products are being sold in specific geographical areas and helps us streamline our marketing and sales initiatives We have also implemented various IT and data security measures such as perimeter firewalls configured on a "default deny" basis with intrusion prevention systems and real-time scanning of network traffic and email for viruses and malicious code, role-based access controls with unique user login IDs and password/multi-factor authentication, and periodic (including daily) data backups with encryption, maintained at a secure storage location and subject to restoration testing to ensure Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of our information.

Accordingly, while Ratan Naraindas Motwani and Ram Naraindas Motwani (collectively, the “Relevant Persons”) have been identified as members of the Promoter Group of our Company, in their capacity as brothers of Prakash Naraindas Motwani and brothers-in-law of Neelu Prakash Motwani, in accordance with Regulation 2(1)(pp) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the relevant information, confirmations and undertakings in respect of the Relevant Persons and the entities in which they may be interested or with which they may be connected in terms of Regulation 2(1)(pp) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations (the “Connected Entities”, and together with the Relevant Persons, (the "Relevant Persons Group") have not been received, despite several attempts made by the Company to obtain such confirmations and information from Ratan Naraindas Motwani and Ram Naraindas Motwani. Since our Company has not been able to procure the relevant information from the Relevant Persons Group in connection with their classification and disclosure as members of the Promoter Group, our Company has included disclosures pertaining to the Relevant Persons and the Connected Entities, to the extent identified as members of the Promoter Group in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, and limited to the extent of, publicly available information on the websites of certain government authorities including, among others, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and other websites such as (i) Watchout Investors (accessible at https://www.watchoutinvestors.com/); (ii) CIBIL (accessible at https://suit.cibil.com/),
(iii) BSE Limited (list of debarred entities accessible at https://www.bseindia.com/investors/debent.aspx); and (iv) National Stock Exchange of India Limited (accessible at https://www.nseindia.com/regulations/member-sebi-debarred-entities), on a ‘name search’ basis (such searches "Public Search"), in order to comply with the requirements of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
For details of the risks arising from the inability of our Company to obtain complete information, confirmations and undertakings from the Relevant Persons Group, see “Risk Factors – Some of the members of our Promoter Group have not consented to the inclusion of, nor have they provided, information or any confirmations or undertakings pertaining to themselves or the entities in which they hold interest, which are required to be disclosed in relation to Promoter Group under the SEBI ICDR Regulations in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The disclosures relating to these members of the Promoter Group and their connected entities have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on information available in the public domain. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the disclosures relating to such members of our Promoter Group are accurate, complete, or updated.” on page 28.
In view of the above, our Company had filed an exemption application dated March 25, 2026, (i) requesting approval to make disclosures (as required under the SEBI ICDR Regulations) and to provide the required confirmations in relation to the Relevant Persons Group falling within the definition of 'promoter group' as prescribed in the SEBI ICDR Regulations, to the extent identified and available in the public domain; and (ii) seeking exemption under Regulation 300(1)(c) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations from disclosing details of the Relevant Persons Group as members of the Promoter Group, to the extent that such information is not available in the public domain ("Exemption Application"). The Exemption Application was not acceded to by SEBI by way of its letter dated August 5, 2026 bearing reference number HO/49/11/11(201)2026-CFD-RAC-DIL1 I/17785/2026 (the “SEBI Letter”). Accordingly, no exemption from the applicable disclosure requirements of the SEBI ICDR Regulations has been granted to our Company pursuant to the Exemption Application.
In connection with the Exemption Application, sworn affidavits dated June 16, 2026 were filed with SEBI by Prakash Naraindas Motwani and Neelu Prakash Motwani, Promoters of the Company. The said affidavits state that the relationship between the Promoters and the Relevant Persons has broken down in relation to business affairs, management, ownership, control, economic interests and financial matters, and consequently, there is no business, financial, operational, management or decision-making relationship between the Promoters and the Relevant Persons. The Promoters have further confirmed that the Relevant Persons do not have (a) any financial dependence on, or any financial relationship with, the Promoters or the Company; (b) a familial relationship with the Promoters that could be leveraged to exercise influence over, or indirectly benefit from, the affairs of the Company or the proceeds of the Offer; or (c) a business relationship with the Promoters or the Company, including as vendors, suppliers, customers, or through any equity, debt, or other commercial arrangements. The Promoters maintain only occasional personal and social relationship with the Relevant Persons for the limited purposes of maintaining peace within the family and to maintain family ties.

2.03 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Companys financial statements requiresmanagement to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosureof contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could resultinoutcomesthatrequireamaterialadjustmenttothecarryingamountoftheassetorliabilityaffectedinfuture periods.
Judgements In the process of applying the Companys accounting policies, management has made the followingjudgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
a) Operating lease commitments Company as lessee The Company has taken various commercial properties on leases. the Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial property, and that it does not retain all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
b) Assessment of Lease contracts Significant judgement is required to apply lease accounting rules under IND AS 116: determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. In assessing the applicability to arrangements entered into by the Company, managementhasexercisedjudgementtoevaluatetherighttousetheunderlyingassets,substanceofthetransaction includinglegallyenforcedarrangementsandothersignificanttermsandconditionsofthearrangementtoconclude whether the arrangements meet the criteria under IND AS 116.

CIN: U31900MH2019PLC329317 Notes to the Restated Financial Information Note 1: Statement of Material Accounting Policies and Other Explanatory Notes Estimations and assumptions Thekeyassumptions concerningthefuture andotherkeysourcesofestimationuncertainty atthereportingdate, thathaveasignificantriskofcausingamaterialadjustmenttothecarryingamountsofassetsandliabilitieswithin the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Taxes Uncertaintiesexistwithrespecttotheinterpretationofcomplextaxregulations,changesintaxlaws,andtheamount andtimingoffuturetaxableincome.Giventhewiderangeofbusinessrelationshipsandthelongtermnatureand complexityof existing contractual agreements, differencesarisingbetween theactual resultsand the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisionsisbasedonvariousfactors,suchasexperienceofprevioustaxauditsanddifferinginterpretationsoftax regulationsbythetaxableentityandtheresponsibletaxauthority.Suchdifferencesofinterpretationmayariseona wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
b) Gratuity benefit The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These includethedeterminationofthediscountrate,futuresalaryincreases,mortalityratesandfuturepensionincreases.
Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligationishighlysensitivetochangesintheseassumptions.Allassumptionsarereviewedateachreportingdate.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of long term government bonds with extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation. The mortalityrateisbasedonpubliclyavailablemortalitytablesforthespecificcountries.Futuresalaryincreasesand pensionincreasesarebasedonexpectedfutureinflationratesfortherespectivecountries.Furtherdetailsaboutthe assumptions used, including a sensitivity analysis, are given in Note 33.
c) Fair Value measurement of Financial Instrument When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recordedin the balance sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DiscountedCashFlow(DCF)model.Theinputstothesemodelsaretakenfromobservablemarketswherepossible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerationsofinputssuchasliquidityrisk,creditriskandvolatility.Changesinassumptionsaboutthesefactors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
d) Impairment of Financial assets Theimpairmentprovisionsoffinancialassetsarebasedonassumptionsaboutriskofdefaultandexpectedlossrates.

e) Impairment of Non - Financial assets TheCompanyassessesateachreportingdatewhetherthereisanindicationthatanassetmaybeimpaired.Ifany indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assets recoverableamount.AnassetsrecoverableamountisthehigherofanassetssCGUSfairvaluelesscostofdisposal anditsvalueinuse.Itisdeterminedforanindividualasset,unlesstheassetdoesnotgeneratecashinflowsthatare largelyindependentofthosefromotherassets orCompanys ofassets.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discountratethatreflectscurrentmarketassessmentsofthetimevalueofmoneyandtherisksspecifictotheasset.In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value indicators.

Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in following categories:
Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) Debt instruments at amortised cost Equity instruments Whereassetsaremeasuredatfairvalue,gainsandlossesareeitherrecognisedentirelyinthestatementofprofitand loss(i.e.fairvaluethroughprofitorloss),orrecognisedinothercomprehensiveincome(i.e.fairvaluethroughother comprehensiveincome).Forinvestmentindebtinstruments, thiswilldependonthebusinessmodelinwhichthe investment isheld.Forinvestmentinequityinstruments, thiswilldependonwhethertheCompanyhasmadean irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for equity instruments at FVTOCI.
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A Debt instrument is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met: a)BusinessModelTest:Theobjectiveistoholdthedebtinstrumenttocollectthecontractualcash flows(rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realize its fair value changes).
b)Cashflowcharacteristics test: The contractual terms of the debtinstrument give riseon specificdates tocash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
This categoryis most relevant tothe Company.

Debt instruments at fair value through OCI
A Debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if following criteria are met: a) Business Model Test : The objective of financial instrument is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and for selling financial assets.
b) Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.

Derecognition Afinancialasset(or,whereapplicable,apartofafinancialassetorpartofaCompanyofsimilarfinancialassets)is primarily derecognised (i.e, removed from the Companys statement of financial position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or TheCompanyhastransferreditsrightstoreceivecashflowsfromtheassetorhasassumedanobligationtopaythe received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass through arrangement and either;
a) the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets or b) the Company has retained the contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Impairment of financial assets In accordance with IND AS 109, the Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) modelfor measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial asset and credit risk exposure Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables;
All lease receivables resulting from the transactions within the scope of IND AS 116 308PM CONA INDUSTRIES LIMITED (Formerly known as PM CONA Industries Private Limited)

At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward looking estimates are analyzed.
Forrecognitionofimpairment losson otherfinancial assets and riskexposure, the Company determineswhether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly,lifetimeECLisused.If,insubsequentperiod,creditqualityoftheinstrumentimprovessuchthatthere isnolongera significantincrease increditrisksinceinitialrecognition, then the Companyreverts torecognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12- months ECL.

For further details on manufacturing facilities, please see “Our Business-Manufacturing Facilities”.
Our Company relies on third-party manufacturing and engages approved third-party vendors through purchase orders. For the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we had engaged 16, 14 and 29 vendors, respectively.
Under this model, vendors undertake the manufacturing process, while our Company monitors quality assurance, compliance and delivery standards. Vendors are approved based on parameters such as capacity, proximity to our manufacturing locations and audit outcomes. Raw materials and moulds are either supplied by us or procured by vendors in accordance with our approved specifications. Vendors are required to follow approved SOPs, process flow charts and quality standards during manufacturing. Each piece of the finished goods is tested by us except PVC insulation tapes which are inspected on a sampling basis before the batches are approved for final packaging and dispatch. We monitor vendor compliance with BIS certification and manufacturing process inspection through periodic audits.
Our Company undertakes in-house manufacturing and third-party manufacturing of most of its products other than the lighting products under Skylight range, supported accessories under the Allied range and some products under the MCB category, which are manufactured through OEM. We engage OEM suppliers through purchase orders. For Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we had engaged 13, 31 and 24 OEM suppliers respectively.
Under the OEM process, our Company procures lighting and supported accessories under the Allied range, from original manufacturers, however, it is still involved in certain stages of production including testing and packaging of finished products. Finished goods received from OEMs are inspected for dimensional accuracy, electrical safety, functional performance, and packaging integrity.
We have a strong focus on innovation, designs and quality control. All our products undergo quality checks and real-life stress testing. We have a dedicated quality control team comprising 16 personnel as of July 31, 2026, 361across our manufacturing facilities which monitors the manufacturing process and ensures quality checks at various stages of production. All our facilities are ISI, BIS and ISO certified and we hold Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (“RoHS”) certification with respect to our products, including switches, socket and plug tops, fan regulators, LED lights, wires, MCB and supported accessories. We also have seven laboratories, two at the Haridwar Facility and one at each of the remaining five manufacturing facilities, which are primarily engaged in designing, product innovation and quality control activities. Our R&D capabilities and emphasis on product innovation also assist our sales and marketing team in understanding and responding to our customers’ requirements.
We have an established supply chain supported by a network of dealers which includes both retail counters and wholesalers. We supply our products to dealers, who further on sell our products to end customers across retail electrical market in India, with electricians being the key influencers. As of July 31, 2026, we had a network of 2,739 dealers comprising retail counters and wholesale dealers. We manage our sales and marketing operations through our Registered and Corporate Office, 19 depots and 1 warehouse located across 16 states and Union Territories. As of July 31, 2026, we had a dedicated team of 124 employees in our sales and marketing team, who also manage and coordinate with the dealers.
Finished goods from the six manufacturing facilities are distributed through our 19 depots and 1 warehouse located across 16 states and Union Territories. These depots are leased by our Company and are Company-managed premises, with inventory ownership and operational expenses being maintained by our Company. These depots are operated through carrying and forwarding (“C&F”) agents, who manage the day-to-day operations, including inventory handling, storage and related operational activities including procuring and maintenance of applicable licenses and permissions on behalf of our Company. The C&F agents are compensated through incentives based on their performance, in accordance with the terms of their respective arrangements with our Company. As on July 31, 2026, we had a network of 20 C&F agents. Through our network of dealers, we sell our products pan- India, with our major sales being in Northern, Eastern and Central Regions of India.
To strengthen our brand equity, we focus on driving consumer demand and deepening our relationships with electricians and channel partners in the electrical products value chain. Our marketing activities are designed to build consumer trust, drive awareness of our product portfolio and reinforce our position as a reliable and quality- conscious electrical products manufacturer. We conduct dealer meets two to three times a year, as part of our channel engagement and promotional strategy. These events serve as platforms to strengthen our relationships with dealers, communicate product launches and brand initiatives, share marketing and sales updates, and incentivize channel performance and loyalty. Electricians are key influencers in the electrical products value chain and play a critical role in driving product selection and purchase decisions by end consumers. Accordingly, we have designed a structured loyalty and reward program to incentivize and sustain engagement with electricians.
To facilitate the ease of doing business, we have recently launched PM Parivaar, an app for the dealers and PM Pragati, an app for the retailers. Through these apps the dealers and retailers can view the details of their transactions and the reward points. For further details of the apps, please see “Our Business- Information Technology” on page 248. Our marketing and brand promotion expenses in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 were ₹ 100.85 million, ₹ 85.06 million and ₹ 73.14 million, respectively. For more details on our marketing activities please refer to “Sales and Marketing” on page number 246.
The brand “CONA” was established in the year 1968 by a third-party individual, Ram Tolani and was transferred to M/s CONA Industries, a partnership firm with our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani being one of the partners, in the year 1979. In the year 1984, following the retirement of the other partners and dissolution of the partnership firm, our Promoter Prakash Motwani continued the business under the name M/s CONA Industries, as a sole proprietorship concern and commenced the manufacturing of FMEG products thereunder. In the financial year 2008, our Promoter Prakash Naraindas Motwani separated from his family business and in the year 2009, he established and promoted his brand under "Cona Original & Genuine", which was subsequently promoted under the brand name ("PM CONA"). Prakash Naraindas Motwani established a new brand while continuing to use the legacy "CONA" brand with distinct identifiers. In August 2019, Prakash Naraindas Motwani, Neelu Prakash Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani consolidated their independent operations under a private limited company, CONA Industries Private Limited, which was renamed PM CONA Industries Private Limited in February 2022. For further details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters” beginning on page 259.
Our legacy brand “CONA” has a long operating history of over 57 years. The legacy of the CONA brand, coupled with experience of our Promoters and our long-standing relationships with dealers, has supported the growth and expansion of our business across multiple regions in India. Our Promoters Prakash Naraindas Motwani and Mohit 362Prakash Motwani have 47 years and 16 years of experience, respectively, in the FMEG industry. For further details on experience of Prakash Naraindas Motwani and Mohit Prakash Motwani, please see “Our Management- Brief profiles of our Directors”. We have also developed and maintained a portfolio of trademarks associated with our brands and products, which supports our brand recognition and market presence. For further details on our trademarks please see “Our Business- Intellectual Property” on page 248.
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cost of raw materials Our operations are dependent upon the price and availability of the primary raw materials that we require for the production of our fast-moving electrical goods (“FMEG”) and wires.
Our primary raw materials are: (i) polymers (granules used for the molding of product casings and components),
(ii) urea (for manufacturing of non-modular switches and accessories); (iii) metals, primarily brass (used in switches and accessories) and copper (used in switchgear and wires) and (iv) packing materials. The total cost of materials and components consumed amounted to ₹ 2,553.92 million, ₹ 2,391.14 million and ₹ 2,160.40 million, accounting for 69.98 %, 70.02 % and 70.22 %, respectively, of our total expenses in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024.
As commodity metals, the prices of copper and brass are linked to the prices prevailing on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), while the price of polymers is linked to crude oil prices. Accordingly, fluctuations in commodity prices or crude oil prices may result in volatility in the procurement cost of these raw materials. We have in the past experienced cost fluctuations for these raw materials due to volatility in the commodity markets or crude oil prices, as the case may be. While we have generally been able to pass on the cost increases to our end customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue doing so in the future. If we are unable to pass on cost increases to our end 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.
The prices and availability of these raw materials are also affected by, among other factors, general economic conditions, competition, production costs and levels, transportation costs, indirect taxes and supply chain disruption.
While we usually maintain 30 days of inventory for all our primary raw materials and work-in-progress, we may experience instances of shortages. During such periods of shortages in raw materials, we may not be able to manufacture our products according to our pre-determined time frames, at our previously estimated product costs, or at all, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and reputation.
We are dependent on our suppliers for raw materials and also face a risk that one or more of our existing suppliers may discontinue supplies of raw materials to us. Any inability to procure raw materials from alternate suppliers in a timely manner, or on commercially acceptable terms, could adversely affect our operations. While we have not experienced any material disruption in the supply of our raw materials during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, that had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, however, we cannot assure you that such disruption will not occur in the future.
We typically procure raw materials through purchase orders and do not enter into any long-term agreements with our suppliers. Consequently, the suppliers may not perform their obligations in a timely manner or with the agreed quality or quantity, resulting in delays and adversely affecting our future commitments, and impact our business and results of operations. While we have not experienced any such material instances where the suppliers did not fulfil their obligations that resulted in an adverse impact on our operations during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.
Slowdown or interruption to our manufacturing operations or under-utilization of our manufacturing facilities We operate through six manufacturing facilities located at Andheri, Mumbai in Maharashtra (“Mumbai Facility”), Vasai in Maharashtra (“Vasai Facility”), Palghar in Maharashtra (“Palghar Facility”), Silvassa in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (“Silvassa Facility”), Haridwar in Uttarakhand (“Haridwar Facility”) and Mangolpuri, Delhi (“Delhi Facility”).
363Any slowdown or interruption to our manufacturing operations may have an adverse impact on our business and financial performance. Factors that may impact operations at our manufacturing facilities, include operational risks beyond our control, including breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output, efficiency, labour disputes, strikes, non-availability of services of our external contractors, planned shut-down for maintenance or inspections , environmental issues, natural disasters or civil disasters, industrial accidents, compliance with regulatory requirements or changes in the policies of the state or local governments of the regions we operate or the Government of India.
While we have not experienced any of the above risks that had an adverse impact on our business operations and financial condition in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that these risks will not arise in the future and result in an added risk of delays in commencing operations. For further details of our manufacturing facilities in terms of their location, property and key processes run / products manufactured, please see “Our Business- Manufacturing Facilities” on page 239.
Any breakdown or obsolescence of the equipment at our manufacturing facilities may interrupt our manufacturing process. Although we have not in the past experienced any material malfunction of equipment that has impacted our operations, any significant malfunction or breakdown of our equipment in the future may involve high repair and maintenance costs and may cause interruptions to our manufacturing operations. In addition, planned shutdowns of our facilities for maintenance, statutory inspections and testing may be required.
Any disruption to the operation of our facilities may result from various factors beyond our control, including, among others, the following: v. forced closure or suspension of our facilities due to factors such as performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, facility obsolescence or disrepair, labour disputes such as strikes and work stoppages;
vi. natural disasters or severe weather conditions; vii. interruption of our information technology systems that facilitate the management of our facilities; and viii. other production or distribution problems, including limitations to production capacity due to regulatory requirements or physical limitations that could impact our ability to maintain a continuous supply of our products.
Although routine safety procedures in the operations of our facilities are employed and adequate insurance is maintained by us, our operations may be susceptible to industrial accidents which could result in bodily harm, environmental damage, manufacturing or delivery delays, or may lead to suspension of our operations and/or imposition of liabilities.
We require substantial power and fuel for our manufacturing facilities, and energy costs represent a significant portion of the production costs for our operations. For Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, our power and fuel charges were ₹ 22.28 million, ₹ 21.15 million and ₹ 21.38 million, constituting 0.61 %, 0.62 % and 0.70 %, respectively, of our total expenses. If energy costs were to rise, or if electricity supplies or supply arrangements were disrupted, our profitability could decline. We source most of our electricity requirements for our manufacturing facilities from state electricity boards. The cost of electricity supplied by state electricity boards could be significantly higher, thereby adversely affecting our cost of production and profitability. Further, natural disasters or adverse conditions may occur in the geographical areas in which we operate including severe weather, tropical storms, floods, excessive rainfalls as well as other events beyond our control. If for any reason such electricity is not available, we may need to shut down our plants until an adequate supply of electricity is restored.
Interruptions of electricity supply can also result in production shutdowns, increased costs associated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress.
Sales mix and margins We derive our significant portion of our revenue from the sale of our modular switches and accessories and non- modular switches and accessories. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue from operations from modular switches and accessories, non-modular switches and accessories and our other products for the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024:
(in ₹ million, except percentage) 364Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 % of total % of total % of total Product revenue revenue revenue Amount Amount Amount from from from operations operations operations Modular switches and 1,970.78 48.79% 1,890.86 50.17% 1,577.93 46.96% accessories Non-modular switches 546.25 13.52% 513.69 13.63% 490.19 14.59% and accessories Supported accessories 517.78 12.82% 513.97 13.64% 507.15 15.09% MCBs / switchgear 234.05 5.79% 219.25 5.82% 196.41 5.85% Lighting 290.75 7.20% 213.96 5.68% 228.85 6.81% Wires 190.16 4.71% 131.73 3.50% 105.98 3.15% Total Sales of Products 3,749.77 92.83% 3,483.46 92.43% 3,106.51 92.45% Other Operating Revenue 289.48 7.17% 285.49 7.57% 253.65 7.55% Total Revenue from 4,039.25 100.00% 3,768.95 100.00% 3,360.16 100.00% Operations As a result, our business and financial condition are heavily dependent on the performance of the switches and accessories market, and we are exposed to fluctuations in the performance of these markets. In the event of a decrease in demand for modular and non- modular switches and accessories, we will experience pronounced effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.
Accordingly, any adverse developments affecting demand for modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories, including changes in consumer preferences, pricing pressures, increased competition or technological advancements, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Demand for our modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories may change over time due to evolving consumer preferences. Our continued success depends on our ability to anticipate, assess and respond promptly to changes in consumer tastes. While we aim to introduce new products from time to time, consumer preferences are difficult to predict and may change rapidly. If we fail to anticipate or respond effectively to changes in market conditions, emerging trends or consumer preferences, or to accurately forecast demand for these products, demand and sales of our modular switches and accessories and non-modular switches and accessories may decline. This could reduce our market share and limit our ability to acquire new dealers and retailers and retain existing ones, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Stability of our distribution network We rely on our extensive pan-India distribution network of dealers, to sell our products across retail market in India. As at July 31, 2026, we have over 2,739 dealers, in our pan-India distribution network. Our contractual arrangements with our dealers are primarily documented through purchase orders. There can be no assurance that we can continue to maintain our network of dealers or retailers on commercially favorable terms or at all. Any failure to enter into new or renew existing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations or cash flows.
Additionally, our depots are operated through carrying and forwarding (“C&F”) agents, who manage the day-to- day operations, including inventory handling, storage and related operational activities including procuring and maintenance of applicable licenses and permissions on behalf of our Company. As of July 31, 2026, we had a network of 20 C&F agents. For this purpose, we enter into C&F agreement with such agents and which are generally renewable pursuant to mutual consent. There can be no assurance that such arrangements will continue to be successful or be renewed after expiry of the stipulated term. Any alteration to or termination of our current agreements with our C&F agents or any failure to enter into new and similar agreements on commercially favorable terms or at all, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects or results of operations. For further details on our C&F agents, please see “Our Business-Overview” on page 217.
Our business, to some extent, depends on maintaining good relationships with our dealers and ensuring that our dealers find our products to be commercially remunerative and have continuing demand from dealers. Further, our growth as a business depends on our ability to attract additional dealers and retailers to our distribution network. As at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have any arrangements with our dealers 365which requires them to exclusively sell our products. In addition, we have no control over our competitors who may offer greater incentives to our distributors and dealers. Furthermore, we have limited ability to manage the activities of independent third-party dealers and we cannot assure you that they will, at all times, strictly adhere to the terms and conditions of our arrangements with them. In addition, if the dealers violate applicable laws or otherwise engage in illegal practices with respect to their sale and marketing of our products, our brand and reputation may be adversely affected. Further, any deterioration in our relationships with our dealers, distributors or C&F agents, or any disruption in our distribution network, may adversely affect our ability to effectively market, distribute and deliver our products to dealers in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that our current dealers will continue to do business with us, or that we can continue to attract additional dealers and retailers to our network. If we fail to maintain the stability of our distribution network and attract additional dealers and retailers to our distribution network, our sales and market share may decline which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Reliance on third party manufacturer and original equipment manufacturers We depend on third party manufacturers for manufacturing some of products. We generally provide raw materials, coating powder, moulds and manufacturing specifications to third-party manufacturers and they undertake the manufacturing for us in their facilities. Any misuse, diversion, loss, damage, wastage or improper utilisation of such Company-supplied materials, failure to adhere to the Company's manufacturing specifications or use of non- approved substitute materials by such third parties may adversely affect product quality, production, profitability, reputation and customer confidence.
Additionally, we rely on OEM especially for manufacturing of our lighting products under Skylight range, supported accessories under Allied range and some products under the MCB category. These third-party manufacturers and OEMs undertake manufacturing for us on a non-exclusive basis, and we have not entered into formal agreements with them. Our engagement with third-party manufacturers and OEM is based on our ongoing working relationships and purchase orders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such third-party manufacturers will continue to provide manufacturing services to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and OEM subjects us to various risks, including: • dependence on relationships with third party manufacturers and OEM, particularly for continuity of supply of products to us;
• changes in cost of acquisition of our products from such manufacturers which would directly affect our profit margins and selling prices of our products; • misuse, diversion, loss, damage, wastage or improper utilisation of Company-supplied materials by third- party manufacturers including failure to adhere to the Company's manufacturing specifications;
• despite quality control exercised by us, there is dependence on quality control systems and processes of such manufacturers. • adverse changes in the financial or business condition of our third-party manufacturers and OEM.
Our dependence on third party manufacturers and OEM could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, as a result of occurrence of factors mentioned above or violation of terms of our engagement by such manufacturers. We engage the third-party manufacturers and OEM on our need basis and their non availability due to their prior commitments could adversely affect our production, sales and financial performance. Additionally, our competitors may offer them better terms, which may cause them to prefer our competitors over us. In such circumstances, if we are unable to find a suitable replacement or engage another third-party manufacturer or OEM in the same region or are unable to engage a new third-party manufacturer or OEM at commercially acceptable terms or at all, there can be no assurance that we will be able to ensure timely supply of products to our dealers, which could adversely impact our business prospects and financial performance. While there have been no such instances in Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, there can be no assurance that there will not be such instances in the future.
Any unscheduled, unplanned or prolonged disruption of operations at manufacturing facilities of our third-party manufacturers or OEMs, including on account of power failure, fire, mechanical failure of equipment, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, obsolescence of equipment or manufacturing processes, non-availability of adequate labour or disagreements with workforce, lock-outs, earthquakes and other natural disasters, industrial accidents, any significant social, political or economic disturbances or infectious disease outbreaks, could affect our third-party manufacturers or OEM’s ability to meet our requirements, and could consequently affect our operations. While such disruptions have not taken place in the 366past, we cannot guarantee that any disruption of operations will not take place in the future. Any delay or failure on the part of our third-party manufacturer or OEM to deliver the products in a timely manner or any litigation involving these third-party manufacturers or OEM may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and reputation.
Competition We face significant competition in our business from other manufacturers and suppliers of FMEG products. As per CareEdge Report, the Indian FMEG industry remains highly competitive, with the presence of large organized players, regional manufacturers, and numerous unorganized participants across multiple product categories. While established brands compete through product innovation, distribution reach, and brand equity, smaller players often compete aggressively on price, particularly in value-oriented product segments. This fragmented competitive landscape can exert pressure on margins and limit pricing flexibility for manufacturers.
Additionally, the continuous entry of new brands and expansion of existing players into adjacent product categories has intensified competition across switches, switchgear, lighting, fans, and electrical accessories.
As per CareEdge Report, the industry is marked by fierce competition between established brands and numerous unorganised players. Aggressive pricing strategies have compressed margins, forcing companies to constantly balance affordability with quality, innovation, and service. This dynamic often discourages investment in advanced technologies and makes differentiation difficult, especially in a market where consumers are highly price-sensitive. Furthermore, intense competition can restrict the ability of manufacturers to fully pass on increased costs, creating profitability pressures, especially in highly price sensitive market segments. While we work consistently to offset pricing pressures, produce new products, advance our technological capability, improve our services or enhance our production efficiency to reduce costs, such efforts may not be successful.
If our competitors introduce products with superior features, stronger brand recognition, wider distribution networks or more competitive pricing, we may lose market share or be required to reduce our prices or incur additional expenditure on marketing and product development, which could adversely affect our profitability.
As premiumization and product differentiation become increasingly important, we must continue investing in branding, innovation, and channel development to sustain market share and profitability. As a part of our growth strategy, we intend to undertake more extensive marketing and brand building exercises including investing in Point of purchase (“POP”) Items, shop boards, sample boards and events and setting up 50 new display showrooms across India. For further details, please see “Our growth strategies- Increase product penetration in existing geographies” and Objects - Expenditure towards brand building and marketing” on pages 227 and 118, respectively. Also, as we plan to expand our offerings to launch new products under the semi-premium segment and we may face strong competition from other players in the same markets. Many of our existing and potential competitors may seek to equal or exceed us in terms of their financial, production, sales, marketing and other resources. In addition, larger competitors may have greater financial resources, stronger brand recognition, more extensive distribution networks and greater economies of scale than us, enabling them to respond more effectively to changes in market conditions and customer preferences. If we fail to compete effectively in the future, our business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Set forth below is a summary of our most significant accounting policies adopted in preparation of the Restated Financial Information.

3672) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.01 Basis of Preparation and Presentation The Restated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS) notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2026, 31 March 2025 & 31 March 2024, the Company prepared its Restated Financial Statements in accordance with Indian accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended (Ind AS). These restated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 are the first financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IND AS notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015. Refer Note no 1.1 for information on how the Company adopted Ind-AS. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities:
i. Certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value ii. Assets held for sale-measured at fair value less cost to sell iii. Defined benefit plans-plan assets measured at fair value The restated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (‘INR’) and all values are rounded to nearest Millions (INR 000,000), except when otherwise indicated.
These Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared by the Management of the Group for the purpose of inclusion in the Red Herring Prospectus (the “RHP”) and Prospectus (collectively, the “Offer Documents”) to be prepared by the Company in connection with its proposed Initial Public Offer (“IPO”). The Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared by the Company in terms of the requirements of:
a) Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the “Act”); b) The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended (the “ICDR Regulations”); and c) The Guidance Note on Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), as amended (the “Guidance Note”), read with the general directions dated October 28, 2021 received from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) by the Company through the Book Running Lead Manager (the “SEBI Communication”), as applicable.
In accordance with the notification dated February 16, 2015, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has mandatorily adopted Indian Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“Ind AS”), with effect from April 01,
2025. Accordingly, the transition date for adoption of Ind AS is April 01, 2024 for reporting under the requirements of the Act.
In pursuance to the SEBI communication, for the purpose of Special Purpose Ind AS Financial Statementss for the year ended 2024, the transition date is considered as April 1, 2023 which is different from the transition date adopted by the Company at the first time transition to Ind AS (i.e. April 1, 2024) for the purpose of preparation of Statutory Ind AS Financials as required under the Act. Accordingly, the Company has applied the same accounting policy and accounting policy choices (both mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions availed as per Ind AS, as applicable) as on April 1, 2023, for the special purpose Ind AS Financial Statements as initially adopted on transition date i.e. April 1, 2024 Special Purpose Ind As Consolidated Financial Statements as on April 1, 2023, have been prepared soley for the purpose of preparation of Restated Financial Information which will be included in the Offer documents in relation to the proposed IPO, which requires the financial statements of all the periods included, to be presented under Ind AS. As such, these Special Purpose Ind AS Financial Statements are not suitable for any other purpose other than for the purpose of preperationof Restated Financial Statements and are not the financial statements prepared pursuant to any requirements under Section 129 of the Act.
2.02 Current versus Non-current classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non- current classification. An
asset is treated as current when it is: − Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle 368− Held primarily for purpose of trading − Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or − Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A Liability is current when: − It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle − It is held primarily for purpose of trading − It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or −There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are classified as non- current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. the Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
2.03 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
Judgements In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
a) Operating lease commitments — Company as lessee The Company has taken various commercial properties on leases. the Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial property, and that it does not retain all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
b) Assessment of Lease contracts Significant judgement is required to apply lease accounting rules under IND AS 116: determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. In assessing the applicability to arrangements entered into by the Company, management has exercised judgement to evaluate the right to use the underlying assets, substance of the transaction including legally enforced arrangements and other significant terms and conditions of the arrangement to conclude whether the arrangements meet the criteria under IND AS 116.
Estimations and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Taxes Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the longterm nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the 369assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the companies.
b) Gratuity benefit The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases.
Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of long term government bonds with extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.
Further details about the assumptions used, including a sensitivity analysis, are given in Note 33. c) Fair Value measurement of Financial Instrument When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
d) Impairment of Financial assets The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
e) Impairment of Non - Financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets’s CGU’S fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company’s of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific tothe asset.
In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value indicators.
f) Warranty Provisions Warranty Provisions are measured at discounted present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Warranty provisions is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods for which the warranty is currently being determined. The same percentage to the sales is applied for the current accounting period to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. It is adjusted to account for unusual factors related to the goods that were sold, such as defective inventory lying at the depots. It is very unlikely that actual warranty claims will exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.
3702.04 Property, Plant and Equipment Under the previous GAAP (Indian GAAP), all assets were carried in the balance sheet at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. On the date of transition to IND AS, all tangible assets other than Land and Capital work in progress have been measured at carrying value and same has been considered as deemed cost as at April 01, 2023 (date of transition). The Company has applied principles of Ind AS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment retrospectively from date of acquisition in respect of Land and Capital work in progress and considered the same as deemed cost in accordance with Ind AS 101 First Time adoption.
Property, Plant and equipment including capital work in progress are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises of purchase price, taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses directly attributable and related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets and are further adjusting by the amount of GST credit wherever applicable. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their respective useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on prorata basis on straight-line method using the useful lives of the assets estimated by management and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. The useful life is as follows:
Assets Plant and Equipment Dies and Tools Furniture and Fixtures Vehicles Office Equipment Laptops, Computers & Printers Leasehold improvements are depreciated on straight line basis over their initial agreement period.
Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the unexpired period of their respective lease ranging from 90-99 years.
2.05 Investment Properties Property that is held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or for both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction cost and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance cost are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Investment property consist of leasehold land which is amortised on a straight line basis over the unexpired period of their respective lease over 99 years and building which is depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful life of 30 years.
2.06 Intangible Assets The Company has applied principles of Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets retrospectively from date of acquisition and considered the same as deemed cost in accordance with Ind AS 101 First Time adoption. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development cost, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in statement of 371Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from disposal of the intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the assets are disposed off.
Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 6 years
2.07 Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company’s of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses including impairment on inventories are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
2.08 Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(I) Financial Assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: − Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss) − Those measured at amortised cost Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in following categories: − Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) − Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) − Debt instruments at amortised cost 372− Equity instruments Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised entirely in the statement of profit and loss(i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognised in other comprehensive income(i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income). For investment in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investment in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for equity instruments at FVTOCI.
Debt instruments at amortised cost A. Debt instrument is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met: a) Business Model Test : The objective is to hold the debt instrument to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realize its fair value changes).
b) Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of EIR. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt instruments at fair value through OCI
A Debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if following criteria are met: a) Business Model Test : The objective of financial instrument is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and for selling financial assets.
b) Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
Debt instrument included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI), except for the recognition of interest income, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains or losses which are recognised in statement of profit and loss. On derecognition of asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to statement of profit & loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI financial asset is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Debt instruments at fair value through FVTPL FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a Debt instrument that is subsequently measured at FVTPL and is not a part of a hedging relationship is recognised in statement of profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss within other gains or losses in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these Debt instruments is included in other income.
Equity instruments of other entities All equity investments in scope of IND AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which IND AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income all subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the Profit and loss.
373Derecognition A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e, removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when:
− The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or − The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass through” arrangement and either;
a) the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets or b) the Company has retained the contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised.
Where the entity has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
Impairment of financial assets In accordance with IND AS 109, the Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial asset and credit risk exposure − Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
− Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
The Company follows “simplified approach” for recognition of impairment loss allowance on: − Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; − All lease receivables resulting from the transactions within the scope of IND AS 116 Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables.
The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward looking estimates are analyzed.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12- months ECL.
(II) Financial Liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. the Company financial liabilities include loans and borrowings including bank overdraft, trade payable, trade deposits, retention money, liabilities towards services, sales incentives and other payables.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
374Trade Payables These amounts represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 120 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using EIR method.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IND AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains/loss are not subsequently transferred to profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
the Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Loans and borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. After initial recognition, interest- bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of IND AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortization.
Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or medication is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of Financial instruments Financials assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Reclassification of Financial assets The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities.
For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations.
If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The 375Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
2.09 Investment in Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not in control or joint control over those policies. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The investment in subsidiary, associate and Joint venture are carried at cost as per IND AS 27. Investment accounted for at cost is accounted for in accordance with IND AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale and Investment carried at cost is tested for impairment as per IND AS 36 . An investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following:
(a) Power over the investee
(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
(c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
On disposal of investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
2.10 Inventories a) Basis of Valuation i. Inventories other than scrap materials are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value after providing cost of obsolescence, if any. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
ii. Inventory of scrap materials have been valued at net realizable value. b) Method of Valuation i. Cost of raw materials has been determined by using moving weighted average cost method and comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
ii. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes direct labour and an appropriate share of fixed and variable production overheads. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.
iii. Cost of traded goods has been determined by using moving weighted average cost method and comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
iv. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.11 Non-current assets held for sale The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Such non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell . Any expected loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable i.e. an active program to locate a buyer to complete the plan has been initiated and the asset is available for immediate sale in 376its present condition and the assets must have actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to that plan to sale these assets will be made. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the balance sheet.
2.12 Taxes Tax expense for the year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. a) Current Tax i. Current income tax, assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) enacted in India by using tax rates and the tax laws that are enacted at the reporting date.
ii. Current income tax relating to item recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in OCI or directly in equity.
b) Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside the statement of profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or direct in equity.
2.13 Revenue Recognition Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company is generally the principal as it typically controls the goods before transferring them to the customer. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct to a customer. Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognised when it becomes unconditional.
The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Company has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is
recognised: i. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those goods, regardless of when the payment is being made.
377ii. Sales of traded goods represent sale of the Company's products which are recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.
iii. Interest income is recognised on time proportion method basis taking into account the amounts outstanding and the rate applicable and is disclosed in “other income”. iv. Dividend income is accounted when the right to receive the same is established.
2.14 Employee Benefits
(i) Short term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee service upto the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Other long term employee benefits obligations a) Gratuity The liabilities with respect to Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method on the balance sheet date, based upon which the Company contributes to the Company Gratuity Scheme. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. the Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under Employee benefit expense in
statement of profit or loss:
1. Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non- routine settlements.
2. Net interest expense or income Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. b) Provident Fund The Company's contribution as per Employee Provident Fund Law towards Provident Fund as provided for and payments thereof are made to the relevant authorities on actual basis and relevant employer’s contribution are recognized as expenditure and are charged to the statement of profit & loss on accrual basis.
2.15 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Company as a lessee A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date at fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with Company’s general policy on the borrowing cost.
378A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss account on straight line basis over the lease term, unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor in expected inflationary cost increase.
Company as a lessor Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.
2.16 Government Grants Government Grants are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all the attached conditions will be complied with.
When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When the Company receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset.
2.17 Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the management.
The Management monitors the operating results of all strategic business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit and loss and is measured consistently with profit and loss in the financial statements.
The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products/services. Further:
1) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.
2) Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
3) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
4) Segment results includes margins on inter-segment sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.
5) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.
6) Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated business.
2.18 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted 379average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive equity shares.
2.19 Borrowing Costs Borrowing cost includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds and charged to Statement of Profit & Loss on the basis of effective interest rate.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they occur.
2.20 Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.21 Foreign Currencies Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Company’s financial statements are presented in Indian rupee which is also the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
Measurement of foreign currency items at he balance sheet date Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
Exchange differences Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised as income or expense in the period in which they arise with the exception of exchange differences on gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value which is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset/ liability The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contract is amortised and recognised as an expense/ income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the exchange rates changes. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognised as income or expense for the period.
2.22 Exceptional Items Exceptional items are transactions which due to their size or incidence are separately disclosed to enable a full understanding of the Company’s financial performance. Items which may be considered exceptional are significant restructuring charges, gains or losses on disposal of investments of subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures and impairment losses/write down in the value of investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and significant disposal of fixed assets.
3802.23 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent Liabilities A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. the Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
2.24 Fair Value Measurement The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for asset or liability, or
(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non- financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted(unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

In Fiscal 2026, our total SKUs decreased to 1,581 from 1,720 in Fiscal 2025 as follows:
SKUs Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Modular switches and accessories 778 831 Non-modular switches and accessories 97 117 Supported accessories 121 156 MCBs / switchgear 182 177 Lighting 323 341 Wires 80 98 Total 1,581 1,720 In Fiscal 2025, our company had upgraded its product portfolio with almost 665 SKUs. In Fiscal 2026, the company focused on the SKUs which gained traction in market.
The increase in revenue has also driven higher inventory levels for the expanded portfolio at distribution points, enabling faster delivery and increasing the frequency of taking next orders from customers. The increase in number of dealers from 2657 counts in Fiscal 2025 to 2739 counts in Fiscal 2026 was also one of the factors that attributed to growth in revenue from operations.
Other income Other income increased by 38.81 % from ₹ 20.70 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 28.74 million in Fiscal 2026 primarily due to increase in interest on fixed deposits by 16.9 % from ₹ 12.96 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 15.15 million in Fiscal 2026 resulting from higher fixed deposits kept by the Company during the year. In addition, there were following changes under the other income during the year, interest on delayed payments from customers increased from nil in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 3.38 million in Fiscal 2026; Other interest received decreased from ₹ 1.44 million in Fiscal 2025 to nil in Fiscal 2026; Discount received decreased by 43.37 % from ₹ 5.52 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 3.13 million in Fiscal 2026; penal charges recovered on goods returned decreased from nil in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 5.36 million in Fiscal 2026; profit on sale of fixed asset decreased from nil in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 0.72 million in Fiscal 2026; other miscellaneous income increased from nil in Fiscal 2025 to 0.13 million in Fiscal 2026; and interest on security deposit - Ind As increased by 10.58 % from ₹ 0.79 million in Fiscal 2025 to 0.87 million in Fiscal 2026.
Expenses Total expenses increased by 6.87 % from ₹ 3414.99 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 3649.63 million in Fiscal 2026 primarily due an increase in cost of raw materials and components consumed, employee benefits expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses.
Cost of raw materials and components consumed Cost of Goods Sold increased by 3.4 % from ₹ 2387.61 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2468.86 million in Fiscal 2026, primarily due to increase in cost of materials consumed and fall in change in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress. Cost of materials consumed increased by 6.81 % from ₹ 2391.14 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹
2553.92 million in Fiscal 2026 primarily due growth in sales.
Cost of goods sold grew at a lower rate than revenue from operations, primarily because the Company achieved cost efficiencies through economies of scale and changes in product mix.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks that are related to the normal course of our operations such as credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate risk, which may affect economic growth in India and the value of our financial liabilities, our cash flows and our results of operations.
Credit risk Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.
Trade and other receivables Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment.
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on trade receivables by lifetime expected credit loss method based on provision matrix. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
Other financial assets Credit risks from balances with banks is evaluated by the management in accordance with the Company’s policy on ongoing basis and considered to be good.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is the carrying amounts. The Company’s maximum exposure relating to financial instrument is noted in liquidity table below.

The Company’s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short term bank deposits, short term loans, short term commercial papers and cash credit facility. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be low.
Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments. The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at reporting date. The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post retirement obligations, provisions and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item and equity is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company and the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the floating interest rate borrowings.

The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's outstanding floating rate borrowings.

455RESTRICTIONS 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 FDI through press notes and press releases. The DPIIT, issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular of 2020 (“FDI Policy”), which, with effect from October 15, 2020, consolidated and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases, clarifications and circulars issued by the DPIIT, which were in force prior to October 15, 2020. The FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a Non-Resident does not require the prior approval of RBI,
provided that: (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 Takeover Regulations; (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 SEBI / RBI.
In terms of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020 (“Press Note”), issued by the DPIIT, the FDI Policy and the FEMA (Non-debt Instruments) Rules were amended to state that all investments under the foreign direct investment route 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 will require prior approval of the Government of India. 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. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 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. Further, in accordance with the amendment to the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 vide notification dated May 4, 2022 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, a declaration shall be inserted in the share transfer form stipulating whether government approval shall be required to be obtained under Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 prior to transfer of shares, as applicable. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. 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 Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments.
Under the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules and current Consolidated FDI Policy, 100% foreign investment is permitted in ‘Manufacturing’ sector in India under automatic route. The responsibility of granting approval for foreign investment under the FDI Policy and FEMA has been entrusted to the concerned ministries / departments.
