*To the extent quantifiable.SECTION II – RISK FACTORS
The below set Risk Factors as appearing in the section titled “Risk Factors” on page 37 of the Draft Red
Herring Prospectus shall be replaced with updated Risk Factors as mentioned below:
4. We operate from a single manufacturing facility located at Perundurai, Tamil Nadu, India and any
disruption at this facility could adversely affect our operations, business and financial condition.
Our integrated manufacturing facility, located at Plot NN5, SIPCOT Industrial Growth Centre, Ingur
Village, Perundurai 638 052, Tamil Nadu, is the sole production site for our operations. As on date,
this facility houses nine (9) Tube Mills, four (4) Slitting Lines, two (2) Continuous Galvanizing Lines
one (1) Tandem Cold Rolling Mill (“CRM”), one (1) Pickling Unit and one (1) Hot Dip Galvanizing
Unit. We do not maintain any alternate or backup production facilities. Consequently, our operations
and supply obligations are entirely dependent on uninterrupted functioning of this single site. Any
disruption, whether temporary or prolonged, could materially and adversely impact our production
schedules, business continuity, customer relationships, financial condition and results of operations.
Disruptions may arise from a wide range of factors including natural disasters (such as earthquakes,
floods, or cyclones), fires, power outages, equipment breakdowns, unavailability of raw materials,
accidents, or other operational hazards. Additionally, risks such as labour unrest, strikes, adverse
regulatory actions, or revocation of environmental or operational permits could also lead to suspension
of activities at this site.
Any halt in manufacturing operations may result in delays in fulfilling customer orders, cancellation of
orders, inability to meet contractual delivery schedules, and consequent loss of revenue. Customers
may turn to alternative suppliers, adversely impacting our market reputation and competitiveness.
Furthermore, a disruption at our facility could lead to idle labor and fixed overheads without
corresponding revenues, thereby exerting pressure on our margins and working capital.
While we maintain insurance coverage for against risks such as fire and machinery breakdown, such
insurance may not cover all possible losses or consequential damages. Recovery under these policies
may also be subject to deductibles, policy limits, and time delays.
The ability to restart operations after a major disruption would depend on multiple external and internal
factors such as availability of skilled workforce, restoration of utilities, procurement of critical spare
parts or machinery, and requisite regulatory approvals. Any delays in these aspects may prolong
production downtime.
The Company has, during the last three fiscal years, received a show cause notice from the Tamil Nadu
Pollution Control Board in relation to the alleged discharge of untreated industrial trade effluent.
Pursuant to such notice, the Company faced a temporary shutdown of its factory operations and
disconnection of power supply. The Company has subsequently paid the requisite penalty and, as of
the date of filing of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, the factory operations have resumed and are
continuing. For further details, please refer to “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments”
on page 392 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. However, we cannot assure you that similar incidents,
regulatory actions, penalties, or disruptions will not occur in the future. Any recurrence of such events
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
13. We operate in a hazardous industry and are subject to business and operational risks arising from
the manufacture, usage, and storage of hazardous substances, which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation.
Our operations involve processes that are inherently hazardous, including the manufacture, handling,
processing, storage, and transportation of hazardous material such as Spent Acid, Sludge and high
TDS Salts. In addition, our employees operate heavy machinery at our manufacturing facility, which
exposes them to risks of accidents, equipment failure, fire, or explosions. These hazards could result
in personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to property and equipment, environmental
contamination, suspension of operations, and the imposition of civil and criminal liabilities.Although we adopt safety and security measures and maintain insurance coverage that we believe to
be adequate for certain risks, there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to
prevent accidents or mitigate their consequences. Any significant workplace accident, fire, explosion,
or related incident could cause: (i) injury or loss of life to employees or third parties; (ii) damage to
or destruction of plant, machinery, or inventory; (iii) disruption or suspension of operations; (iv)
manufacturing or delivery delays impacting our ability to meet customer commitments; (v)
imposition of regulatory penalties, civil liabilities, or criminal sanctions; and (vi) reputational damage
that may impact customer and supplier relationships.
The Company has, during the last three fiscal years, specifically in Fiscal 2025, received directions
from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (“TNPCB”) under the Water (Prevention and Control
of Pollution) Act, 1974, in relation to the alleged discharge of untreated industrial trade effluent at
our Perundurai facility. Pursuant to such proceedings, the Company faced a temporary suspension of
its factory operations and disconnection of power supply. The Company has subsequently paid the
requisite environmental compensation of ₹27.00 lakhs and, following the suspension of the closure
order by the TNPCB in June 2025, the factory operations have resumed and are continuing.
Additionally, a First Information Report (“FIR”) has been registered in relation to this incident,
which the Company is currently contesting. However, we cannot assure you that similar incidents,
regulatory actions, penalties, or disruptions will not occur in the future. Any recurrence of such events
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
For further details, please refer to the section titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” on page 392 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. However, Additionally, our
hazardous waste authorization has expired. Althouth our Company has made an application on
August 23, 2025, we are yet to receive a copy of the authorization. For details of such application
and risk in relation to non-receipt of the said approval, see “Government and Other Statutory
Approvals – Material approvals or renewals for which applications are currently pending before
relevant authorities” and “Risk Factors – We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary
course of business and are required to comply with certain rules and regulations to operate our
business, any failure to obtain, retain and renew such approvals and licences or comply with such
rules and regulations may adversely affect our operations” on pages 402 and 62. This could
materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, and prospects.
31. Any disruption or shortage of essential utilities such as power, fuel, or water could disrupt our
manufacturing operations, increase our production costs, and adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing operations require a continuous supply of power, fuel, and water, which represent
a key component of our production costs. We meet part of our power requirement through a captive
5.5 MW solar power plant and also source electricity from the state electricity board. In addition, we
have adopted CBG”) as a replacement for conventional furnace oil in our production process, and our
water requirements are met through SIPCOT’s supply. Set out below is the detail of our power, water,
and fuel charges;
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Amount (₹ % of Amount (₹ % of Amount (₹ % of
in lakhs) total in lakhs) total in lakhs) total
expense expense expense
Power, Water 948.96 0.83% 847.38 0.85% 758.79 0.91%
and Fuel
Charges
Our reliance on external sources of power and utilities exposes us to risks of rising costs and supply
disruptions. If our power, water, or fuel costs continue to rise, or if our electricity supply arrangements
are disrupted, our operations could be adversely impacted. For instance, any increase in the per-unit
cost of electricity by the state electricity board would increase our overall production costs. Inadequateor irregular supply of electricity or fuel could result in the interruption or suspension of production,
leading to delays in meeting customer commitments and potential order cancellations.
Frequent production shutdowns due to utility shortages would also increase costs associated with
restarting production, result in lower capacity utilization, and lead to revenue loss. In particular, any
significant increase in the cost of electricity could cause an unexpected rise in production costs, putting
additional pressure on our already thin margins.
The Company has experienced an instance of power disconnection during the last three fiscals and
there can be no assurance that similar interruptions will not recur in the future due to unforeseen events,
regulatory changes, grid instability, or supply-side constraints. Any prolonged or recurring disruption,
shortage, or interruption in the availability of essential utilities may have a material adverse effect on
our business operations, results of operations, cash flows, profitability, and overall financial condition.
19. Our Company, Promoters and Directors are parties to certain legal proceedings. Any adverse
decision in such proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our Company, Promoters and Director are parties to certain legal proceedings. These legal proceedings
are pending at different stages before various courts, tribunals and forums. The outcomes of these legal
proceedings are uncertain and could lead to adverse orders against our Company, Promoters and
Directors. Legal expenses, regulatory challenges, and potential sanctions arising from these
proceedings may put a strain on our financial resources and impact our profitability. In the event of
adverse rulings in these proceedings or levy of penalties / fines by courts, tribunals and forums, our
Company may need to make payments or make provisions for future payments. Furthermore, adverse
publicity and negative perceptions associated with criminal litigations can affect our reputation, leading
to potential loss of customer trust and business opportunities. It may also impact our ability to secure
contracts, licenses, or permits required for our operations.
A summary of the pending criminal and tax proceedings and other material litigations involving our
Company, Directors and Promoters has been provided below:

*To the extent quantifiable.
We cannot assure that any of the aforementioned litigations will be settled in our favour, or that no
further liability will arise out of these proceedings. Even if we are successful in defending such cases,
we will be subjected to legal and other costs relating to defending such litigation, and such costs could
be substantial. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent
ascertainable. All of the above ongoing matters could result in financial losses, reputational damage,
and disruptions to our Company’s business operations, in the event any adverse orders are passed
against our Company/directors.
While we have not incurred any material penalties / fines due to any adverse rulings during the last
three Fiscals, such payments or provisions may increase our expenses and current or contingent
liabilities and also, adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operation
in future.OUR BUSINESS
In the section titled “Our Business” on page 203 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus the following paragraphs
shall stand replaced in the manner set out below.
Our Manufacturing Facility has effluent treatment processes in compliance with applicable law. However, in
past, we have been subject to legal action and penalty involving non-compliance with environmental laws and
regulations. For details, see “Risk Factors – We operate from a single manufacturing facility located at
Perundurai, Tamil Nadu, India and any disruption at this facility could adversely affect our operations,
business and financial condition.” and “Risk Factors – We operate in a hazardous industry and are subject
to business and operational risks arising from the manufacture, usage, and storage of hazardous substances,
which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation.” on
pages 41 and 48, respectively.OUTSTANDING LITIGATION AND MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS
In the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 392 of the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus shall be updated to reflect the inclusion of the below set disclosures.
I. Litigation involving our Company
A. Litigation filed against our Company.
1. Criminal proceedings
First Information Report – 144 of 2025
The First Information Report bearing number 144 of 2025 was registered at the Chithode Police Station
on March 22, 2025, primarily based on a complaint alleging the deliberate contamination of a public
water source, an offence punishable under Section 279 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The
complaint was filed by Mr. S. Sivakumar after residents of Kolathupalayam village reported on March
19, 2025, that a local stream had turned yellow, was emitting a foul smell, and contained dead fish. A
subsequent preliminary investigation uncovered crucial evidence, including CCTV footage from a
nearby restaurant which allegedly captured a tanker lorry with registration number TN-52-Y-7104
discharging waste into the stream on the night of March 18, 2025. The driver of the lorry Nagaraj, was
identified and stated that the vehicle belonged to Evergreen Chemical Company and that industrial
effluent he discharged had been collected from the R.K. Steel Manufacturing Company Limited in
Perundurai. Therefore, the FIR was filed on the basis of the physical evidence of pollution, the
identification of the vehicle and driver, and the driver's statement naming R.K. Steel Manufacturing
Company Limited as the source of the contaminating effluent. The matter is currently pending as on date.DECLARATION
