Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may arise or may become material in the future and may also impair our business, results of operations and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline, and as prospective investors, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about particular consequences to you of an investment in this Issue. The financial and other related implications of the risk factors, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below.

1. We derive our revenue from trading in agricultural commodities, procurement of which is heavily dependent on third party suppliers.
Our Company is engaged in the business of selling of raw agricultural produce such as, wheat, mustard, coriander, maize, flax seeds, soyabean and also trade in mustard oil, soyabean oil, mustard de-oiled cakes, etc (collectively “agri commodities”). Further, we also sell processed wheat in consumer package through our network of dealers and distributors. Our presence in the agri commodities trading segment enable us to identify opportunities and enter into trading from one commodity/ product to another in accordance with change in demand or inconsistency in pricing for any commodity during any season. Our management team continuously monitors and undertakes deep analysis of the current trends and demand of these agri commodities in the market and accordingly it easily switches 28over to the products in demand. For instance, our revenue from operations in bulk/traded products for the Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 are as detailed herein below:

Sarupria Somani & Associates, Chartered Accountants, pursuant to their certificate dated September 17, 2025 For the procurement of agri commodities, we are heavily dependent on external suppliers with which we do not have any formal long-term arrangements. Our primary agricultural produce is wheat, mustard, coriander, maize, flax seeds, soyabean, which we procure from over a large number of farmers through a network of kaccha aadtiya (“agents”) spread across the state of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. As on March 31, 2025, our network comprises of over 500 kaccha aadtiya/agents who liaison and coordinate between our Company and the farmers community.
We procure the agri commodities during harvest period and store them raw and in case of wheat we store both raw wheat and processed wheat at our storage facilities situated at our processing unit, owned warehouse and also in warehouses taken on lease basis. We procure this agricultural produce during harvest period, grade and store them raw, and in case of wheat we also store processed wheat i.e. after grading, sorting and packaging at our storage facilities situated at our processing unit, owned warehouse and also in warehouses taken on lease basis.
Our top 10 (ten) suppliers contributed to 33.45% of our total purchases for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
Though we believe that we will not face substantial challenges in maintaining our business relationship with them or finding new agents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain long term relationships with such agents or find new agents in time.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure all of our future raw material requirements at commercially viable prices. We are bound by the orders and directives issued by the Food Corporation of India (“FCI”), the government's nodal agency for procurement and distribution of wheat. In order to control the prices of food grains including wheat, FCI and other governmental nodal agencies prescribe guidelines for procurement of wheat which include limits to which wheat can be stocked by us or our suppliers. Therefore, the price at which we procure wheat from our suppliers are susceptible to fluctuation on account of regulation by FCI and other governmental authorities.
While we are taking necessary steps to maintain consistent supply of our primary product i.e. wheat, we cannot assure that we will be able to get the same quantum and quality of supplies, or any supplies at all, and the loss of supplies from one or more of them may adversely affect our purchases of stock and ultimately our revenue and results of operations. The success of our business is significantly dependent on maintaining good relationships with our agents and through them with the farmers. While we have not faced any disruption in supply of the agri commodities from our agents in past, we cannot assure you that we will continue to enjoy undisrupted relationships with our agents in the future. If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of the agri commodities in a timely manner or on commercially acceptable terms, or if there are significant increases in the prices of the agri commodities, or 29an inability to pass on any additional cost incurred on purchase of raw materials to our customers our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
2. Our products are in the nature of commodities and their prices are subject to fluctuations that may affect our profitability.
The availability and prices of agri commodities in which we trade can fluctuate due to factors beyond our control, including, amongst others, weather, crop yields, trade disputes between governments of key producing and consuming countries, world supply and demand and governmental regulation. Global demand for agri commodities may be adversely affected in periods of sustained economic downturn, while supply may increase due to good weather patterns or long-term technological developments, all of which are factors beyond our control. For instance, Government of India restricted import and export of wheat and refined flour in Fiscal 2023. Further, purchase price of the agri commodities are also subject to the support price declared by the Government. While we forecast the demand for the agri commodities and accordingly plan our procurement volumes for our operations accordingly, any error in our forecast including, cancellation of order by our customer could result in surplus stock, which may not be sold in a timely manner. Further, any decline in the quality of such commodities or delay in delivery of commodities by such parties, may adversely affect our operations.
3. Our business is subject to seasonal volatility, which may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and financial condition.
Further, as an agri-based Company, our businesses are sensitive to weather conditions, including extremes such as drought and natural disasters. Adverse weather conditions may also cause volatility in the prices of commodities, which may affect growers' decisions about the types and quantum of crops to plant and may consequently affect the sales of our products. Consequently, the occurrence of any such unfavorable weather patterns may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Due to the inherent seasonality of our business, results of one reporting period may not be necessarily comparable with preceding or succeeding reporting periods. We are impacted by seasonal variations in sales volumes, which may cause our revenues to vary significantly between different quarters in a Fiscal. Accordingly, our revenue in one quarter/half year may not accurately reflect the revenue trend for the whole Financial Year. Sometimes, even if there is a slight change in the timing of rain fall, the sales will get deferred from one reporting period to another reporting period. The sales that were supposed to take place during one financial year may get added to sales of the next financial year and therefore results of even full financial year may not necessarily be comparable to the other financial year. This may cause fluctuations in our result of operations and financial conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell surplus stock in a timely manner, or at all, which in turn may adversely affect our business, results of operations, future cash flows and financial conditions.
4. Our Company has experienced negative cash flows in some prior periods and may do so in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our Company has experienced negative net cash flows in some previous periods, the details of which are provided
below: (₹ in lakhs) For the year ended March 31, Particulars 2025 2024 2023 Net Cash generated from Operating Activities (1,964.44) (685.50) (185.69) Net Cash (Used in) Investing Activities (35.63) 148.06 8.70 Net Cash from/ (Used in) Financing Activities 1,995.95 (1.78) 723.86 Cash flow of a company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations to meet its capital expenditure, pay dividends, repay loans and make new investments without raising finance from external resources.
If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow, it may adversely affect our business and financial operations.
We cannot assure you that our net cash flows will be positive in the future. Negative cash flows over extended periods, or significant negative cash flows in the short term, could materially impact our ability to operate our business and implement our growth plans. As a result, our cash flows, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. For further details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 187 and 221, respectively.
305. Substantial portion of our revenues has been dependent upon few customers. The loss of any one or more of our major customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
The substantial portion of our revenues has been dependent upon few customers. For instance, our top 10 (ten) customers accounted for 59.34% and 68.50% of our revenue from operations for the Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. We have not entered into long term agreements with our customers and the success of our business is accordingly significantly dependent on us maintaining good relationships with them. The loss of one or more of these significant customers or a reduction in the amount of business we obtain from them could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain historic levels of business and/or negotiate and execute long term contracts on terms that are commercially viable with our significant customers or that we will be able to significantly reduce customer concentration in the future. Further, the sales volume may vary due to our customers’ attempts to manage their inventory, market demand, product and supply pricing trends, change in customer preferences etc., which may result in decrease in demand or lack of commercial success of our products, which could reduce our sales and adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
The table below sets forth the revenue derived from our top 1, top 5 and top 10 customers for the fiscals indicated:

Sarupria Somani & Associates, Chartered Accountants, pursuant to their certificate dated September 17, 2025
Note: Our Company has requested our customers to provide their consent to disclose their name in the DRHP/ RHP/ Prospectus through an email.
Therefore, due to non-receipt of the consent, name of the customers are not disclosed.
Further, our major customer i.e. ITC Limited contributed 21.45% and 24.97% of our revenue from operations for the Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. The loss of our major customer or a decrease in the volume of order by the major customer or any disruption may adversely affect our revenues and profitability. Any decline in our quality standards, growing competition and any change in the demand for our services by these customers may adversely affect our ability to retain them.
6. We are involved in certain legal proceedings which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals, enquiry officers, and appellate authorities.
We are involved in certain legal proceedings which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals, enquiry officers, and appellate authorities. We cannot provide assurance that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour. Any adverse decisions in any of the proceedings may have a significant adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

#To the extent quantifiable
7. We are required to obtain, renew or maintain statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to operate our business and our processing unit, and any delay or inability in obtaining, renewing or maintaining such permits, licenses and approvals could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We believe that our Company has obtained all the material approvals required to carry on its business activities as on the date of this Prospectus. Many of these approvals are granted for a fixed period of time and are required to be renewed from time to time. Non-renewal of the said permits and licenses would adversely affect our operations, thereby having a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, certain permits, licenses and approvals obtained by our Company are conditional in nature. While our Company endeavors to meet such conditions, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continuously meet such conditions or be able to prove compliance with such conditions to the statutory authorities, which may lead to the cancellation, revocation or suspension of relevant permits, licenses or approvals. Any failure by us to apply in time, renew, maintain or obtain the required permits, licenses or approvals, or revocation, cancellation or suspension of any of the permits, licenses or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on the business. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any or all such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Non-receipt of the aforesaid license would result in payment of fines under the respective laws. We are also required to make certain payments to various statutory authorities from time to time, including but not limited to payments pertaining to Income Tax. Any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and regulatory action, as well as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For details, see “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” on page 249 of this Prospectus.
328. Our Promoters, members of Promoter Group and director have mortgaged their properties and provided personal guarantees to certain loan facilities availed by us, which if revoked may require alternative guarantees, repayment of amounts due or termination of the facilities.
Our Promoters, members of Promoter Group and director have mortgaged their properties and provided personal guarantees in relation to certain loan facilities availed of by us. In the event that any of these properties or guarantees are revoked by Promoters, members of Promoter Group or third party, the lenders for such facilities may require alternate properties as mortgages/guarantees, repayment of amounts outstanding under such facilities, or may even terminate such facilities. For further details, please refer to chapter titled “Financial Indebtedness” on page 248 of this Prospectus.
We may not be successful in procuring alternative properties/guarantees satisfactory to the lenders, and as a result may need to repay outstanding amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all and any such failure to raise additional capital could affect our operations and our financial condition.
9. Some of our corporate records and forms filed with the Registrar of Companies are not traceable. Further, there have been certain instances of regulatory non-compliances or delays or errors in the past. We may be subject to regulatory actions and penalties for any such past or future non-compliance or delays or errors and our business, financial condition and reputation may be adversely affected.
Certain of our Company’s corporate records are not traceable as the relevant information was not available in the records maintained by our Company or on the online portal of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA Portal”) or in the physical records available at the RoC. This was despite conducting internal searches and engaging an independent practicing company secretary to conduct a physical search of our records at the RoC and prepare a report on such search (the “RoC Search Report”).

For instance, 1) In the Form 5 filed by the company with ROC, they had inadvertently selected/tick box of Ordinary Resolution rather than Special Resolution; 2) the number of allottees was inadvertently mentioned wrong in the list of allottees attached as an attachment to the Form 2; 3) delayed filing of the Form 23AC and Form 66 with respect to Year 2009; 4) Internal Auditor not appointed as the threshold limit exceeds ₹200 crores from the Year 2014; 5) delayed filing of the Form AOC-4 with respect to Year 2021-2022; 6) delayed filing of the Form MGT-14 in relation to filing of resolution pursuant to Initial Public Offer (IPO) of the Company. Further, the audit firm namely “Jambu Agrawal & Associates” had completed consecutive 2 terms in FY2020-21, the Company continued to appoint them as the auditors for a consecutive third term, thereby not adequately complying with the provisions of Section 139(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.
In case of any action being taken by the regulatory authorities against the Company and/or its officers, the same may have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and result of operations. While such undisputed dues are regularly deposited during the year with the appropriate authorities, there have been delays in this respect for -payment of GST as follows – For the Financial Year Ended Return type Returns Filed Delayed filing FY 25-26* GSTR 1 4 0 FY 24-25 GSTR 1 12 0 FY 23-24 GSTR 1 12 0 FY 22-23 GSTR 1 12 1 FY 21-22 GSTR 1 12 4 FY 20-21 GSTR 1 12 5 FY 19-20 GSTR 1 12 4 FY 18-19 GSTR 1 12 5 FY 17-18 GSTR 1 7 7 FY 25-26* GSTR 3B 4 0 FY 24-25 GSTR 3B 12 0 FY 23-24 GSTR 3B 12 0 FY 22-23 GSTR 3B 12 2 FY 21-22 GSTR 3B 12 4 FY 20-21 GSTR 3B 12 5 FY 19-20 GSTR 3B 12 4 FY 18-19 GSTR 3B 12 4 FY 17-18 GSTR 3B 12 1 *Not on annualised basis 34Delays in making statutory payments had occurred due to technical issues with the portal on various occasions, transition of scheme of filing from quarterly to monthly, limited understanding of transition process, administrative difficulties, inadvertent delays and difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although, we have undertaken certain steps to avoid future delays, there can be no assurance that such delays may not arise in future. There is a possibility of financial penalties being imposed on us by the relevant Government authorities, which may have a material adverse impact on our cash flows and financial condition.

May 13, 2025 We cannot assure you that any application for registration of our logo in future by our Company will be granted by the relevant authorities in a timely manner or at all. Further, there can be no assurance that third parties will not infringe our intellectual property, causing damage to our business prospects, reputation and goodwill. We may not be able to detect any unauthorized use or our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate and may lead to erosion of our business value and our operations could be adversely affected. In the event we receive any objection/opposition from the authority or any third party, we may need to litigate in order to determine the validity of such claims and the scope of the proprietary rights of others. For instance, we abandoned the process of registration of our tradenames “Happyfamily” and “Sharbati” under class 30 due to objections from third parties.
Any such litigation could be time consuming and costly, and the outcome cannot be guaranteed.
We sell our products under our own brands “Sharbati” and “Taj Mahal”. As on the date of this Prospectus, the said brands are unregistered. If we fail to register the appropriate intellectual property, or our efforts to protect the relevant intellectual property prove to be inadequate, the value attached to our brand and proprietary rights will deteriorate, which could have a material adverse effect on our growth, prospects, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In the absence of registration of these trademarks, we have lesser recourse to initiate legal proceedings to protect our brand name. In the event of unauthorised use of brands, we may be compelled to pursue legal action, which may divert our attention and resources, thereby affecting our business operations.

12. The improper handling, processing or storage of products, or spoilage of and damage to such products, or any real or perceived contamination in our products, could subject us to damage our reputation and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The products that we process and trade are subject to risks such as contamination, adulteration and product tampering during their manufacture, transport or storage. We face inherent business risks of exposure to product liability or recall claims in the event that our products fail to meet the required quality standards. storage of crops for our products entails significant risks associated with the storage environment, including moisture, temperature, humidity levels, pests, parasites and/or diseases. Excessively high or low levels of moisture, temperature or humidity may result in damage to stored crops and seeds, which may have a material adverse effect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, there have been no instances in the past for improper handling, processing or storage of products.
13. Our business operations are majorly concentrated in certain geographical regions and any adverse developments affecting our operations in these regions could have a significant impact on our revenue and results of operations.
The processing units of our Company are situated in the state of Rajasthan at F-378, Indraprastha Industrial Area, Kota, Rajasthan, 324005 and J-375 G, Indraprastha Industrial Area, IPIA, Kota, Rajasthan, 324005. Further, we also procure our raw materials primarily from the farmers in the state of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Due to the geographical concentration of our processing operations primarily in the state of Rajasthan, our operations are susceptible to local, regional and environmental factors, such as social and civil unrest, regional conflicts, civil disturbances, economic and weather conditions, natural disasters, demographic and population changes, and other unforeseen events and circumstances. Such disruptions could result in the damage or destruction of a significant portion of our manufacturing abilities, significant delays in the transport of our products and raw materials, loss of key managerial personnel, and/or otherwise adversity may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we generate major domestic sales through our customers situated in Rajasthan, Delhi, Assam, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and other regions. For instance, the state of Rajasthan, Delhi and Haryana contributed to 90.79% of our revenue from operations for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2025. Such geographical concentration of our business in this region heightens our exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in this region, which may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions 36and results of operations. Further, almost 100% of our revenue from operations is from domestic sales for the Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023. Further, a significant number of our dealer and distributor network as well as our agents are in the state of Rajasthan.
Further, as we enter into new markets and geographical areas, we are likely to compete with not only national players, but also the local players, who might have an established local presence, and are more familiar with local business practices and have stronger relationships with local distributors, dealers, relevant government authorities, suppliers or are in a stronger financial position than us, all of which may give them a competitive advantage over us. Our inability to expand into other areas may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations. While our management believes that the Company has requisite expertise and vision to grow and mark its presence in other markets going forward, investors should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, losses and challenges that we face and should not rely on our results of operations for any prior periods as an indication of our future performance.

14. Our inability to effectively manage or expand our dealers and distribution network may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to expand and grow our processed wheat sales significantly depends on the reach and effective management of our distribution network and the continued cooperation of third parties such as dealers, wholesalers or retailers, etc. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to effectively manage our distribution network and maintain good relationships with such third parties. While we enjoy exclusivity with some of our distributors, certain distribution intermediaries may have exclusivity arrangements with our competitors and may be unable to, or decline to, stock and distribute our products, which in turn may limit our ability to expand our distribution network.
We intend to capture our existing intermediaries as well as create a distribution network in new markets to market our existing and new products proposed to be manufactured by our Company. Our inability to strategically expand our distribution network may lead to revenue loss and impede the full utilisation of our production capacity. Due to our limited experience in the markets in which we propose to venture, we may face difficulties in creating and maintaining a distribution network, identifying our competitors or keeping up with the expectation and the requirement of the intermediaries and end use customers. While the aforementioned events have not materially occurred in the past, future occurrence of any of these events could affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our sale and distribution network in 37accordance with our business plans, or at all, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
15. Our Registered Office, processing units, shop and warehouses are located on premises which are not owned by us and has been obtained on lease basis and leave & license basis. Disruption of our rights as licensee/ lessee or termination of the agreements with our licensors/ lessors would adversely impact our manufacturing operations and, consequently, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our Registered Office, processing units, shop and warehouses are located on properties taken on lease basis and leave & license basis from related parties and third parties. Our processing units i.e. F-378, Indraprastha Industrial Area, Kota, Rajasthan, 324005 and J-375 G, Indraprastha Industrial Area, IPIA, Kota, Rajasthan, 324005 are taken on lease for a period of 99 years starting from January 03, 1991 and March 31, 1992, respectively. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to successfully renew the said lease agreements and leave & license agreements in a timely manner or at all or on terms favourable to us. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not face any disruption of our rights as a lessee and that such lease agreements will not be terminated prematurely by the lessor. Any such non-renewal or early termination or any disruption of our rights as lessee will adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations. For further details, see “Business Overview – Properties” on page 121.
16. We operate in a competitive business environment and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The industry in which the Company operates is fairly competitive and our results of operations and financial condition are sensitive to, and may be materially adversely affected by competitive pricing and other factors.
Competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, lost market share or a failure to grow our market share, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. The market in which we operate is fragmented and fairly competitive. We compete primarily on the basis of quality of our products, customer satisfaction and marketing. Thus, some of our competitors may have certain other advantages over us, including established track record, superior products offerings, larger portfolio of products and greater market penetration, which may allow our competitors to better respond to market trends. They may also have the ability to spend more aggressively on marketing initiatives and may have more flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions than we do. We believe that in order to compete effectively, we must continue to maintain our reputation, be flexible and prompt in responding to rapidly changing market demands and customer preferences, and offer customer quality products at competitive prices. There can be no assurance that we can effectively compete with our competitors in the future, and any such failure to compete effectively may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
17. Our Registered Office from where our operations is carried out is shared between our Company with our Subsidiary Company.
Our Registered Office situated at Plot No. 7, Bhamashah Mandi Anantpura Kota, Rajasthan - 324005, India is shared with our Subsidiary Company i.e. RDG Green Energy Private Limited. Any dispute arising in future between our Subsidiary Company, consequences to which we may have to change our Registered Office and place of operations will affect our business operations. There is no sharing agreement between our Company and the above-mentioned companies nor there is any demarcation of the premises and facilities installed therein for use. Any multiple or overlapping use of the said facilities may create some disruptions which may affect our business operation. If alternative premises are not available at the same or similar costs, size or location business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
18. We rely on third-party transportation providers for the delivery of goods and materials both from our suppliers and to our clients. Any failure by these service providers to fulfill their obligations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operational results.
As we engage in trading of agri commodities in bulk and also in consumable packages, our success is contingent upon the uninterrupted supply and transportation of materials from our suppliers to us and from us to our clients.
These processes are subject to various uncertainties and risks. Any failure by these service providers to fulfill their obligations whether due to logistical issues, labor strikes, vehicle breakdowns, or other unforeseen disruptions can lead to significant delays in the receipt of raw materials and the delivery of finished products. Such delays can halt production processes, leading to unmet client orders and potential loss of contracts, which in turn affects our revenue and market reputation.
38Additionally, materials may be lost or damaged during transit due to factors such as accidents or natural disasters.
Delays in the delivery of materials could also adversely impact our business and operational results. While there has been no such occurrence of disruption in transportation facilities occurred in our business operations till now, a failure to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of materials to both ourselves and our clients could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
19. Our lenders have charge over our movable and immovable properties in respect of finance availed by us.
We have secured outstanding debt of ₹ 175.50 Lakhs and ₹ 341.93 Lakhs, respectively as on Financial Year ended March 31, 2025 and Financial Year ended March 31, 2024 and we have secured our lenders by creating charge over our movable and immovable properties. In the event we default in repayment of the loans availed by us and any interest thereof, our properties may be forfeited by lenders. It may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows and financial condition of our Company. For further information on the financing and loan agreements along with the total amounts outstanding, please refer to chapter titled “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 187 of this Prospectus.
20. Few of our promoter group entities are engaged in the same line of business similar to our Company. We cannot assure that our promoter group entities and our Company will not compete with each other to source the same business. Such competition between each other may adversely affect business operations and financial condition of our Company.
Few of our promoter group entities namely Vishal Garg Industries LLP, RDG Agri Export Private Limited, Prishagarg Overseas Private Limited, Rukmani Devi Garg Agro Ampex Private Limited, Priyesh Impex Private Limited, RDG Overseas Private Limited, Vishal & Company (proprietary concern) and Shri Vishal Agro Trade Sindicate (proprietary concern) are in the similar line of business as of our Company i.e. engaged in the business of trading in agricultural commodities/ products as per the object clause. However, major of these entities have not started any commercial operations. We have entered into non-compete agreement dated June 04, 2025 with such promoter group entities. There can be no assurance that our promoter group entities will not compete with our existing business or any future business that we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours.
Further, our promoter group entities may enter into business in future in such circumstances, that the interest of the Company may conflict with the interest of the promoter group entities and any such present and future conflicts may adversely affect our profitability and results of operations. For further details, please refer to chapter titled “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” beginning on page 175 of this Prospectus.
21. A slowdown or shutdown in our processing operations or under-utilization of our processing facilities could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our processed wheat business is dependent upon our ability to manage our processing facilities which are subject to various operating risks, including those beyond our control, such as the breakdown and failure of equipment or industrial accidents and severe weather conditions and natural disasters. Any significant malfunction or breakdown of our machinery may entail significant repair and maintenance costs and cause delays in our operations. If we are unable to repair malfunctioning machinery in a timely manner or at all, our operations may need to be suspended until we procure machinery to replace the same. In addition, we may be required to carry out planned shutdowns of our units for maintenance, statutory inspections and testing, or may shut down certain units for capacity expansion and equipment upgrades. We may also face protests from local citizens at our existing units or while setting up new units, which may delay or halt our operations. Although we have not experienced any significant disruptions at our processing unit in the past, we cannot assure you that there will not be any disruptions in our operations in the future.
Our inability to effectively respond to such events and rectify any disruption, in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost, could lead to the slowdown or shut-down of our operations or the under-utilization of our processing unit.
22. Adverse publicity regarding our products could negatively impact us.
Adverse publicity regarding any of our products or similar products marketed or sold by others could negatively affect us. If any studies raise or substantiate concerns regarding the efficacy or safety of our products or other concerns, our reputation could be harmed and demand for our products could diminish, which could have a material adverse effect on growth in new customers and sales of our product, leading to a decline in revenues, cash collections, and ultimately our ability to meet operating cash flow requirements.
23. We have significant power requirements for continuous running of our processing unit. Any disruption to our operations on account of interruption in power supply or any irregular or significant hike in power tariffs may have an effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our processing operations require significant amount of electricity and any interruption in the supply of power may temporarily disrupt our operations. Since, our processing process requires high power consumption, any unexpected 39or unforeseen increase in the tariff rates can increase the operating cost of our processing unit and thereby cause an increase in the production cost which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. There are limited number of electricity providers in the areas from where we operate due to which in case of a price hike, we may not be able to find a cost-effective substitute, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Business Overview” on page 116 of this Prospectus.
24. We are exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Our revenue from exports for Fiscal 2023 has been ₹ 452.67 Lakhs which constituted 1.82% of our Revenue from operations for the period. Our global export footprint exposes us to foreign exchange rate risks, arising primarily from our receivables and export of goods. There can be no guarantee that such fluctuations will not affect our financial performance in the future as we continue to expand our operations globally, particularly in emerging markets where the risk of currency volatility is higher.
25. Delays or defaults in customers payments could affect our operations.
We may be subject to working capital risks due to delays or defaults in payment by customers, which may restrict our ability to procure raw materials and make payments when due. In addition, any delay or failure on our part to supply the required quantity or quality of products, within the time stipulated by our agreements, to our customers may in turn cause delay in payment or refusal of payment by the customer. Such defaults/delays by our customers in meeting their payment obligations to us may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
26. We have entered into, and will continue to enter into, related party transactions which may potentially involve conflicts of interest.
In the ordinary course of our business, we have entered into several transactions with related parties, including our Promoters and certain members of our Promoter Group. These related party transactions include, among others, payment for services rendered, services received, processing fees paid, availed for training, and interest payable. The

Transactions with related parties, as per the requirements of Indian GAAP, are disclosed in the notes to the accounts annexed to the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.
While we confirm that all our related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and in compliance with Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations and applicable law, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties.
Such related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest which may be detrimental to the interest of our Company. We cannot assure you that such related party transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will always be in the best interests of our shareholders and will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
27. We are heavily dependent on our Promoters and Key Managerial Personnel for the continued success of our business through their continuing services and strategic guidance and support.
Our success heavily depends upon the continued services of our Promoters and Key managerial personnel, particularly Mr. Vishal Garg. We also depend significantly on our Key Managerial Persons for executing our day- to-day activities. The loss of any of our Promoter and Key Managerial Personnel, or failure to recruit suitable or comparable replacements, could have an adverse effect on us. The loss of service of the Promoters and other senior 41management could seriously impair the ability to continue to manage and expand the business efficiently. If we are unable to retain qualified employees at a reasonable cost, we may be unable to execute our growth strategy. For further details of our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, please refer to chapter titled “Our Management” on page 133 of this Prospectus.
28. Any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior shareholder’s approval.
We propose to utilise the Net Proceeds for meeting our working capital purposes. For further details of the proposed objects of the Issue, please see “Objects of the Issue” on page 88. In case of any exigencies arising out of business conditions, economic conditions, competition or other factors beyond our control which adversely affect our business, we may require to use the Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure which cannot be determined with certainty as on the date of this Prospectus. In terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds or in the terms of any contract as disclosed in this Prospectus without obtaining the shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances requiring us to undertake variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds disclosed in this Prospectus, we cannot assure that we will 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.
In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of objects of the Issue to use any unutilized proceeds of the Issue, if any, or vary the terms of any contract referred to in the Prospectus, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. This may restrict our Company’s ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilised portion of Net Proceeds, if any, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
29. Any change in the technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to make substantial capital investment to cope with the market.
Our processing units are a fully automated imported machinery with the capability for cleaning, grading, colour sorting using multi-vision technology, and also automatically pack the graded wheat as per our desired packaging requirements. While we believe that the machinery are state of the art machinery, these machineries can become obsolete in technology as new and upgraded machineries are launched in the market.
We believe that technology upgradation is a regular process and it is also essential for providing the desired quality to the customers. We are taking all the possible steps to keep our processing units in line with the latest technology.
However, any further upgradation in the technology may render our current technology obsolete and require us to upgrade the existing technology or implement new technology. Further implementing new technology may require us to incur huge capital expenditure which could affect our cash flows and result of operations.
30. Orders placed by customers may be delayed, modified, cancelled or not fully paid for by our customers, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may encounter problems in executing the orders in relation to our products, or executing it on a timely basis.
Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may postpone the delivery of such products or cause its cancellation, including delays or failure to obtain necessary permits, authorizations, permissions and other types of difficulties or obstructions. Due to the possibility of cancellations or changes in scope and schedule of delivery of such products, resulting from our customers’ discretion or problems we encounter in the delivery of such products or any change in priority to meet our order at our supplier’s side or reasons outside our control or the control of our customers, we cannot predict with certainty when, if or to what extent we may be able to deliver the orders placed. Additionally, delays in the delivery of such products can lead to customers delaying or refusing to pay the amount, in part or full, that we expect to be paid in respect of such products. In addition, even where a delivery proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the contracting parties may default or otherwise fail to pay amounts owed.
While we have not yet experienced any material delay, reduction in scope, cancellation, execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment default with regard to the orders placed with us, or disputes with customers in respect of any of the foregoing, any such adverse event in the future could materially harm our cash flow position and income.
Further, we operate in highly competitive markets in relation to our products where it is difficult to predict whether and when we will receive such awards. As a result, our results of operations can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on whether and when such orders are awarded to us and the commencement and progress of work under the orders placed.
4231. Our Company requires significant amount of working capital for a continuing growth. Our inability to meet our working capital requirements may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. Our net working capital as on March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were ₹7,523.23 Lakhs, ₹4,542.96 Lakhs and ₹3,180.44 Lakhs, respectively. Any delay in the receipt of payments from our customers may increase our working capital requirement. Further, if a customer defaults in making payment for the goods and services provided by us, on which we have devoted significant resources, it could affect our profitability and liquidity and decrease the capital reserves that are otherwise available for other uses. In general, we take provisions for bad debts, including those arising from such defaults based primarily on ageing and other factors such as special circumstances relating to special customers. There can be no assurance that such payments will be remitted by our clients to us on a timely basis. All of these factors may result, or have resulted, in increase in the amount of receivables. Continued increase in working capital requirements may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
32. Our inability to manage inventory in an effective manner could affect our business Our business model requires us to maintain a certain level of inventory to meet the present and future orders. Wheat is the key commodity in which we deal both in bulk and also in consumable packages. We procure wheat from farmers in the state of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh through a network of kaacha aadtiya (“agents”). There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure all of our future agri commodity requirements at commercially viable prices. We are bound by the orders and directors issued by the Food Corporation of India (“FCI”), the government's nodal agency for procurement and distribution of wheat. In order to control the prices of food grains including wheat, FCI and other governmental nodal agencies prescribe guidelines for procurement of wheat which include limits to which wheat can be stocked by us or our suppliers. Therefore, the quantity of the inventory which can be stocked by us and the price at which we procure wheat from our suppliers are susceptible to fluctuation on account of regulation by FCI and other governmental authorities.
Further, we may not be able to stock adequate quantity of raw materials required by our Company. If we underestimate the orders that we may receive we may experience inventory shortages and a loss of opportunity.
Similarly, an over estimation of orders may result in over stocking leading to increased holding costs. Additionally, any over run in holding of such goods may lead to their decay. Therefore, any mismanagement on our part to determine the optimum inventory levels may impact our operations and cause us to incur losses.
33. Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with any regulations applicable to us, to provide accurate information to regulatory authorities, to comply with manufacturing standards we have established, or to report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in our industry are subject to laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. If our employees engage in any such misconduct, we could face criminal penalties, fines, revocation of regulatory approvals and harm to our reputation, any of which could form a material adverse effect on our business. Further, there have been no such past instances of employee misconduct or other improper activities.
34. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient or adequate to protect us against all material hazards, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our operations are subject to various risks inherent in the manufacturing industry including defects, malfunctions and failures of manufacturing equipment, fire, riots, strikes, explosions, loss-in-transit for our products, accidents and natural disasters. The occurrence of any one of these events may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting claims for substantial damages, including for cleanup costs, personal injury and property damage and fines and/ or penalties. We generally perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and operating and other asset management services. The manufacturing of products involves handling of certain risky materials which, if not handled properly, can be dangerous. Our insurance may not be adequate to completely cover any or all of our risks and liabilities. There have been no instances in the last three years.
We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we consider adequate including insurance policy covering fire, damage to buildings, plant and machinery, stocks (raw materials and finished goods), vehicles and policy covering damage to goods in transit. We may not have identified every risk and further may not be insured against every risk because such risks are either uninsurable or not insurable on commercially acceptable terms, including operational 43risk that may occur and the occurrence of an event that causes losses in excess of the limits specified in our policies, or losses arising from events or risks not covered by insurance policies such as COVID-19 and other pandemics, or due to the same being inadequate, could materially harm our cash flows, financial condition and future results of operations. Further, while there has been no past instance of inadequate insurance coverage for any loss, we cannot assure that we will continue to accurately ascertain and maintain adequate insurance for losses that may be incurred in the future. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business but we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all. Any claim brought against us, with or without merit, could result in reputational damage, and even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources. A successful claim not fully covered by our insurance could have a negative impact on our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations. For further information on our insurance arrangements, please refer to
chapter titled “Business Overview – Insurance” beginning on page 165 of this Prospectus.
35. In the event there is any delay in the completion of the Issue, or delay in schedule of implementation, there be a corresponding delay in the completion of the objects of this Issue which would in turn affect our revenues and results of operations.
The funds that we receive would be utilized for the objects of the Issue as has been stated in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” on page 88 of this Prospectus. The proposed schedule of implementation of the objects of the Issue is based on our management estimates.

Our Company intends to use approximately ₹ 1650.00 Lakhs of the Net Proceeds towards meeting our working capital requirements. Our Board will have flexibility in temporarily investing the Net Proceeds as well as inter se allocation across various heads, as disclosed in “Objects of the Issue” on page 88 of this Prospectus. Further, the plans for deployment of the Net Proceeds are in accordance with our management’s estimates and have not been appraised by any bank, financial institution or any other external agency. Our Company may have to revise its management estimates from time to time on account of various factors beyond its control, such as market conditions, competitive environment, and interest or exchange rate fluctuations and consequently its requirements may change.
In case of any shortfall of the proceeds raised from this Issue, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds through other sources to meet our obligations of meeting equity contribution for our Object of the Issue.
In case of shortfall in the proceeds of this Issue which are to be utilized for meeting the objects of the Issue, the shortfall will be met by such means as are available to our Company at such future time and at the discretion of the management, including by way of cash available with us or by any other means permissible under law. We cannot assure that we will be able to arrange for adequate cash or will be able to procure further loans to meet the funding requirements. Any failure to meet the additional funding requirements will have a material adverse effect on the implementation of the object of the issue. The deployment of the funds towards the objects of the issue is entirely at the discretion of the Board of Directors/ Management and is not subject to monitoring by external independent agency. However, the deployment of funds is subject to monitoring by our Audit Committee. Any inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds could adversely affect our financials.
37. We may face difficulties in implementing our strategies including our expansion and diversification plans of entering new geographical areas, development and commercialization of new products.
We may face difficulties in implementing our strategies including our expansion and diversification plans of entering into new geographical areas due to various factors such as entry barriers, stringent rules and regulations, fierce competition in the new markets, inadequacy of funds for expansion, high cost of debt that may be required for expansion and diversification. Implementation of our strategies may pose significant challenges to our administrative, financial and operational resources and additional risks that our Company may not be able to foresee.
Failure to successfully implement some or all of our key strategic initiatives in an effective and timely manner may adversely affect our future business prospects. For further details on our business strategies, kindly see “Business Overview” on page 121 of this Prospectus.
4438. Information relating to the historical capacity of our processing unit included in this Prospectus is based on various assumptions and estimates and future processing and capacity may vary.
Information relating to the historical capacity of our processing units included in this Prospectus is based on various assumptions including those relating to availability of agri commodities and operational efficiencies. Actual processing levels and rates may differ significantly from the processing capacities. Undue reliance should therefore not be placed on our historical capacity information for our existing facilities included in this Prospectus.
For details see, “Business Overview” on page 121.
39. There is no monitoring agency appointed by our Company and the deployment of funds are at the discretion our Management and our Board of Directors, though it shall be monitored by our Audit Committee.
As per SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018, appointment of monitoring agency is required only for fresh size is above ₹5,000.00 lakhs. Hence, we have not appointed a monitoring agency to monitor the utilization of Issue proceeds.
However, the audit committee of our Board will monitor the utilization of Issue proceeds. Further, our Company shall inform about material deviations in the utilization of Issue proceeds to the BSE and shall also simultaneously make the material deviations / adverse comments of the audit committee public.
Further, we propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for purposes identified in the “Objects of the Issue”. The manner of deployment and allocation of such funds is entirely at the discretion of our management and our Board, subject to compliance with the necessary provisions of the Companies Act.
Our Company shall on a half yearly basis disclose to the Audit Committee the uses and application of the Net Proceeds. Additionally, the Audit Committee shall review the report submitted by the Management and make recommendations to our Board for further action, if appropriate. Our Company shall, on an annual basis, prepare a statement of funds utilised for purposes other than those stated in this Prospectus and place it before the Audit Committee. Such disclosure shall be made only till such time that all the Net Proceeds have been utilised in full.
40. Stringent food safety, consumer goods, health and safety laws and regulations may result in increased liabilities and increased capital expenditures.
Our operations are subject to stringent health and safety laws as our products are for human consumption and are therefore subject to various industry specific regulations. We may also be subject to additional regulatory requirements due to changes in governmental policies. Further, we may also incur additional costs and liabilities related to compliance with these laws and regulations that are an inherent part of our business. We are subject to various central, state and local food safety, consumer goods, health and safety and other laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are increasingly becoming stringent and may in the future create substantial compliance or remediation liabilities and costs. These laws may impose liability for non-compliance, regardless of fault. Other laws may require us to investigate and remediate contamination at our facilities and production processes. While we intend to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it is possible that such compliance may prove restrictive, costly and onerous and an inability to comply with such regulatory requirement may attract penalty. For details see, “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” on page 249.
41. Any delays and/or defaults in payments could result in increase of working capital investment and/or reduction of our Company’s profits, thereby affecting our operation and financial condition We are exposed to payment delays and/or defaults by our customers/intermediaries. Our financial position and financial performance are dependent on the creditworthiness of our customers/intermediaries. While we take advance of upto 20% of the invoice value from some of our customers with whom we undertake trading transaction, a large number of our customers are given credit based on their creditworthiness, our length of relationship and potential future business opportunity. Further, in most of the cases the agri commodities are held by us in our warehouse on behalf of our customers. Accordingly, we may not be subject to significant credit risk.
Further, with respect to our processed wheat sales, we majorly supply our products through our networks of distributors & dealers (“intermediaries”) without taking any advance payment or security deposit against the orders placed by them. Such delays in payments may require our Company to make a working capital investment. While we have not faced any material write-off of receivables in the past, we cannot assure you that payments from all or any of our intermediaries will be received in a timely manner or to that extent will be received at all. If an intermediary defaults in making its payments on an order on which our Company has devoted significant resources, or if an order in which our Company has invested significant resources is delayed, cancelled or does not proceed to completion, it could have a material adverse effect on our Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
There is no guarantee on the timeliness of all or any part of our customers’/ intermediaries’ payments and whether they will be able to fulfil their obligations, which may arise from their financial difficulties, deterioration in their 45business performance, or a downturn in the global economy. If such events or circumstances occur, our financial performance and our operating cash flows may be adversely affected.
42. Our Promoters will continue to retain significant shareholding in our Company after the Issue, which will allow it to exercise control over us.
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters will hold 73.22 % of our post paid-up equity shares on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, post completion of the Issue, our Promoters is expected to retain majority shareholding in our Company will continue to exercise control over our business and all matters requiring shareholders’ approval, including the composition of our Board of Directors, the adoption of amendments to our charter documents, 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. There can be no assurance that our Promoters will exercise its rights as a Shareholder to the benefit and best interests of our Company. The interests of our Promoters, as our Company’s significant Shareholder and exercising control over our Company, could be different from the interests of our other Shareholders and their influence may result in change of management or control of our Company, even if such a transaction may not be beneficial to our other Shareholders.
43. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares of face value of ₹10 each by each of the Promoters may be less than the Issue Price.
The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares of the Promoters may be less than the Issue Price. The details of the average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares of face value of ₹10 each held by each of the Promoters are set out

Our Promoter Directors may also be interested to the extent of any transaction entered into by our Company with any other company or firm in which they are directors or partners. For further details see “Our Management”, “Our Promoters and Promoter Group”, “Financial Indebtedness” and “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 157, 175, 234 and 187 respectively. There can be no assurance that our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. Our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant control over our Company, including being able to control the composition of our Board of Directors and determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting of shareholders, and our other shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Directors and our Key Management Personnel may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with the best interests of our Company or that of minority shareholders.
45. In the future, we may incur indebtedness during the course of business. We cannot assure that we would be able to service our existing and/ or additional indebtedness.
As on financial year ended March 31, 2025 and financial year ended March 31, 2024, our Company’s total outstanding secured loans is ₹ 4,921.37 lakhs and ₹ 2,684.42 lakhs, respectively. Considering the nature of our business our peak loan exposure will be higher and we may incur further indebtedness during the course of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain further loans at favourable terms. Increased borrowings, if any, may adversely affect our debt-equity ratio and our ability to borrow at competitive rates. In addition, we cannot assure you that the budgeting of our working capital requirements for a particular year will be accurate. There may be situations where we may under-budget our working capital requirements, which may lead to delays in arranging additional working capital requirements, loss of reputation, levy of liquidated damages and can cause an adverse effect on our cash flows. Any failure to service our indebtedness or otherwise perform our obligations under our financing agreements entered with our lenders or which may be entered into by our Company, 46could trigger cross default provisions, penalties, acceleration of repayment of amounts due under such facilities which may cause an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
46. Our agreements with lenders for financial arrangements contain restrictive covenants for certain activities and if we are unable to get their approval, it might restrict our scope of activities and impede our growth plans.
We have entered into agreements for our borrowings with certain lenders. These borrowings include secured fund based and non-fundbased facilities. These agreements include restrictive covenants which mandate certain restrictions in terms of our business operations such as change in capital structure, formulation of any scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction, declaring dividends, further expansion of business, granting loans to directors, repaying unsecured loans from third parties, undertake guarantee obligations on behalf of any other borrower, which require our Company to obtain prior approval of the lenders for any of the above activities. We have received necessary consents from our lenders for the proposed IPO. However, we cannot assure you that our lenders will provide us with these approvals in the future. For details of these restrictive covenants, please refer to chapter titled ― “Financial Indebtedness” on page 203 of this Prospectus.
Further, some of our financing arrangements include covenants to maintain our total outside liabilities and total net worth up to a certain limit and certain other liquidity ratios. We cannot assure prospective investors that such covenants will not hinder our business development and growth in the future. A default under one of these financing agreements may also result in cross-defaults under other financing agreements and result in the outstanding amounts under such financing agreements becoming due and payable immediately. Defaults under one or more of our Company’s financing agreements may limit our flexibility in operating our business, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, business, results of operations and financial condition.
It may be possible for a lender to assert that we have not complied with all applicable terms under our existing financing documents. Further we cannot assure that we will have adequate funds at all times to repay these credit facilities and may also be subject to demands for the payment of penal interest.
47. Relevant copies of few of the qualification certificates of Directors and Key Managerial personnel are not traceable.
Relevant copies of qualification certificates of Mr. Lalit Modi, Non-Executive Independent Director, Mrs. Priyanka Alwani, Non-Executive Independent Director and Mrs. Ayushi Agrawal, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer are not traceable. The information included in the chapter is based on the marksheet obtained by the respective Director and KMP.
Consequently, we or the Book Running Lead Manager cannot assure you that such information in relation to the particular Directors/ KMP are true and correct and you should not place undue reliance on the qualification of such Directors/ KMP included in this Prospectus.
48. We have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the Objects of the Issue.
Further, we have not identified any alternate source of financing the ‘Objects of the Issue. Any shortfall in raising / meeting the same could adversely affect our growth plans, operations and financial performance As on date, we have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the objects of the Issue. We meet our capital requirements through our bank finance, unsecured loans, owned funds and internal accruals. Any shortfall in our net owned funds, internal accruals and our inability to raise debt in future would result in us being unable to meet our capital requirements, which in turn will negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, we have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our part to raise money from this Issue or any shortfall in the Issue proceeds may delay the implementation schedule and could adversely affect our growth plans. For further details, see “Objects of the Issue” on page 88 of this Prospectus.
49. We may decide not to proceed with the Issue at any time before Allotment. If we decide not to proceed with the Issue after the Issue Opening Date but before Allotment, the refund of Application amounts deposited will be subject to us complying with our obligations under applicable laws We, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager, with the Issue at any time before the Allotment.

4750. Certain Agreements /deeds may be in the previous name of the Company.
Our certain agreements and deeds may be in the name of the erstwhile name of the company i.e. Rukmani Devi Garg Impex Private Limited. While our Company has initiated steps to update the records, there can be instances where our Company is unable to get the records updated. While our Company may not have significant challenge in running its operations pending such update of records, we cannot assure you that we may not be subject to regulatory questions or that we may have to spend significant time and effort to update the records. This may impact our financial position and result of operations.
51. Our ability to pay dividends in the future may be affected by any material adverse effect on our future earnings, financial condition or cash flows.
Our ability to pay dividends in future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements. We may be unable to pay dividends in the near or medium term, and our future dividend policy will depend on our capital requirements and financing arrangements in respect of our operations, financial condition and results of operations. Our Company has not declared dividends in the past, and there can be no assurance that our Company will declare dividends in the future also. For further details, see “Dividend Policy” on page 186.
52. None of our Independent Directors have experience of being a Director of a public listed company.
Our Independent Directors do not have the experience of being directors/ holding directorships of public listed companies. Accordingly, they have limited exposure as regards managing the affairs of a listed company which inter-alia entails several compliance requirements and scrutiny of affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed company, our Company will be required to adhere strict standards pertaining to accounting, corporate governance and reporting that it did not require as an unlisted company. Our Company will also be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations, which will require it to file audited annual and unaudited quarterly reports with respect to its business and financial condition. If the Company experiences any delays, we may fail to satisfy the reporting obligations. Further, as a publicly listed company, our Company will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily transactions. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a result, the Board of our Company may have to provide increased attention to such procedures and their attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
53. We have not commissioned an industry report for the disclosures made in the chapter titled ‘Industry Overview’ and made disclosures on the basis of the data available on the internet and such data has not been independently verified by us.
We have not commissioned an industry report for the disclosures made in the chapter titled “Industry Overview” on page number 110 of this Prospectus and made disclosures on the basis of the data available on the internet and such data has not been independently verified by us. We have made disclosures in the said chapter on the basis of the relevant industry related data available online for which relevant consents have been obtained. We have not independently verified such data. We cannot assure you that any assumptions made are correct or will not change and, accordingly, our position in the market may differ from that presented in this Prospectus. Further, the industry data mentioned in this Prospectus or sources from which the data has been collected are not recommendations to invest in our Company. Accordingly, investors should read the industry related disclosure in this Prospectus in this context.
54. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the SME Platform of BSE Limited in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuance of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the SME Platform of BSE Limited due to delay in submission of required documents/ completion of formalities/compliance with required laws by the issuer. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
4855. There are restrictions on daily movements in the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell Equity Shares or the price at which Equity Shares can be sold at a particular point in time.
Our listed Equity Shares will be subject to a daily “circuit breaker” imposed on listed companies by the Stock Exchanges, which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the trading price of the Equity Shares.
This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on the Equity Shares’ circuit breaker will be set by the Stock Exchanges based on historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The Stock Exchanges are not required to inform our Company of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker, and they may change the limit without our knowledge. This circuit breaker would effectively limit the upward and downward movements in the trading price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of shareholders to sell Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares.
56. There is no existing market for our Equity Shares, and we do not know if one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity.
Further, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop and the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile. An active public trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop or, if it develops, may not be maintained after the Issue. Our Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager, will determine the Issue Price. The Issue Price may be higher than the trading price of our Equity Shares following this Issue. As a result, investors may not be able to sell their Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price or at the time that they would like to sell. The trading price of the Equity Shares after the Issue may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to factors such as, variations in our results of operations, market conditions specific to the sectors in which we operate economic conditions of India and volatility of the securities markets elsewhere in the world.
57. The price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors acquiring the Equity Shares in the Issue.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control: a. volatility in the Indian and global securities market or in the value of the Rupee relative to the U.S. Dollar, the Euro and other foreign currencies;
b. our profitability and performance; c. changes in financial analysts’ estimates of our performance or recommendations; d. perceptions about our future performance or the performance of Indian companies in general;
e. performance of our competitors and the perception in the market about investments in the agro-commodity sector; f. adverse media reports about us or the Indian agro-commodity sector; g. significant developments in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies;
h. significant developments in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations; i. economic developments in India and in other countries; and j. any other political or economic factors.
These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of the Equity Shares is low. Volatility in the price of the Equity Shares may be unrelated or disproportionate to our results of operations. It may be difficult to assess our performance against either domestic or international benchmarks. Indian stock exchanges, including the Stock Exchanges, have experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities and problems such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. The governing bodies of Indian stock exchanges have also, from time to time, imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred between listed companies, stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If such or similar problems were to continue or recur, they could affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares.
4958. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities by our Company may dilute your shareholding and any sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters or members of our Promoter Group may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by our Company may dilute your shareholding in our Company; adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through further issue of our securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we will not issue additional Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity Shares by any of our Promoters and Promoter Group, or the perception that such sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that our Promoters and Promoter Group will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
59. Sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters or other significant shareholder(s) may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any instance of disinvestments of Equity Shares by our Promoters or by other significant shareholder(s) may significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Further, our market price may also be adversely affected even if there is a perception or belief that such sale of Equity Shares might occur.
60. We may not be able to sustain effective implementation of our business and growth strategy.
The success of our business will largely depend on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth strategy. In the past we have generally been successful in execution of our business but there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our strategy on time and within the estimated budget in the future. If we are unable to implement our business and growth strategy, this may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

61. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties in India, including adverse application of tax laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in law or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations in India applicable to us and our business. There can be no assurance that the central or the state governments in India may not implement new regulations and policies which will require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the central or the state governments in India and other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of the new regulations may have a material adverse effect on all our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may have to incur capital expenditures to comply with the requirements of any new regulations, which may also materially harm our results of operations. For instance, the Government has proposed a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”) regime that will combine taxes and levies by the Central and state Governments into a unified rate structure. Given the limited availability of information in the public domain concerning the GST, we are unable to provide any assurance as to the tax regime following implementation of the GST. The implementation of this new structure may be affected by any disagreement between certain state Governments, which could create uncertainty. Any such future amendments may affect our overall tax efficiency, and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.
62. Investor may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares within 12 months in an Indian company are classified as short-term capital gains and generally taxable. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange that are held for more than 12 months is considered as long-term capital gains and is taxable at 10%, in excess of Rs. 1,00,000. Any long-term gain realized on the sale of equity shares, which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, is also subject to tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares are exempt from taxation in India where an 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 to pay tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain on the sale of equity shares.
63. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which 50we operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our services may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.
The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting the information technology sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, in particular.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised, and continues to exercise, a significant influence over many aspects of the economy. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares, may be affected by interest rates, changes in government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. Any political instability in India may adversely affect the Indian securities markets in general, which could also adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Any political instability could delay the reform of the Indian economy and could have a material adverse effect on the market for our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance to the investors that these liberalization policies will continue under the newly elected government. Protests against privatization could slow down the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting companies in the industrial equipment manufacturing sectors, foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. A significant change in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India and thereby affect our business.
64. An outbreak of other infectious or virulent diseases, if uncontrolled, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
An outbreak of other infectious or virulent diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, the COVID-19 virus, the H1N1 virus, avian influenza (bird flu), the Zika virus or the Ebola virus, if uncontrolled, may have a material adverse effect on the economies of certain countries and our operations. If any of our employees or the employees of our suppliers and/or customers are infected with such diseases or if a signification portion of our workforce refuses to work for fear of contracting an infectious disease, our Company, our suppliers and/or our customers may be required to shut down operations for a period of time, and this could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our revenue and profitability could be impacted to the extent that a natural disaster, health epidemic or other outbreak harms the Indian and global economy in general.
65. Terrorist attacks or war or conflicts involving India or other countries could adversely affect consumer and business sentiment and the financial markets and adversely affect our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect global equity markets and economic growth as well as the Indian economy and stock markets. Such acts negatively impact business and economic sentiment, which could adversely affect our business and profitability. Also, India has from time to time experienced, and continues to experience, social and civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries. Armed conflicts could disrupt communications and adversely affect the Indian economy. Such events could also create a perception that investments in Indian companies involve a high degree of risk. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian companies, including our Equity Shares. The consequences of any armed conflicts are unpredictable and we therefore may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our business.
66. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively affect our stock prices.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control influence forecasts directly affect performance.
These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of governments, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, fluctuations in commodities markets, consumer debt levels, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence, spending and tourism. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude, which may negatively affect our stock prices.
67. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely affect our Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is in developing phase compared to that of many developed nations. Any congestion or disruption in its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public facility 51could disrupt our Company’s normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, and add costs to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt our Company’s business operations, which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
68. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.
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 financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing may be available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity Shares.
69. Instability in financial markets could materially and adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition.
The Indian economy and financial markets are significantly influenced by worldwide economic, financial and market conditions. Any financial turmoil, especially in the United States of America or Europe, may have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Although economic conditions differ in each country, investors’ reactions to any significant developments in one country can have adverse effects on the financial and market conditions in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems, particularly in other emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets. The global financial turmoil, an outcome of the sub-prime mortgage crisis which originated in the United States of America, led to a loss of investor confidence in worldwide financial markets.
Indian financial markets have also experienced the contagion effect of the global financial turmoil, evident from the sharp decline in SENSEX, BSE’s benchmark index. Any prolonged financial crisis may have an adverse impact on the Indian economy and us, thereby resulting in a material and adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, profitability and price of our Equity Shares.
70. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause Our Company’s business to suffer.
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami, floods etc. In recent years, the extent and severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of the Equity Shares.
71. Government regulation of foreign ownership of Indian securities may have an adverse effect on the price of the Equity Shares.
Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to government regulation. Under foreign exchange regulations currently in affect in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the rupees proceeds from the 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 Income Tax authorities. There can be no assurance that any approval required from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained.
72. If we fail to comply with current or future applicable laws, we could incur significant fines and other penalties and suffer negative publicity and reputational damage, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or business.
Further, investors in the Equity Shares could incur reputational or other risks as a consequence. There can be no assurance that our future business will be free of risk under sanctions implemented by these jurisdictions or that we will be able to conform our business operations to the expectations and requirements of such international regulatory agencies that do not have jurisdiction over our business but nevertheless assert the right to impose sanctions on an extraterritorial basis. In addition, because many sanctions programs are evolving, new requirements or restrictions could come into effect which might increase regulatory scrutiny of our business or result in some of our business activities being subject to sanctions.
5273. A slowdown in economic growth in India may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
The performance and growth of our business are necessarily dependent on economic conditions prevalent in India, which may be materially and adversely affected by centre or state political instability or regional conflicts, a general rise in interest rates, inflation, and economic slowdown elsewhere in the world or otherwise. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. India’s economic growth is affected by various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. Any continued or future slowdown in the Indian economy or a further increase in inflation could have a material adverse effect on the price of our raw materials and demand for our products and, as a result, on our business and financial results. The Indian financial market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly in emerging market in Asian countries. Financial turmoil in Asia, Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investor’s reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss in 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, including the financial crisis and fluctuations in the stock markets in China and further deterioration of credit conditions in the U.S. or European markets, could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could harm our business and financial results.
74. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties in India and abroad, including adverse application of tax laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in law or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations in India applicable to us and our business. For further details see “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” on page 255 for details of the laws currently applicable to us.
The governmental and regulatory bodies in India and other jurisdictions where we operate may notify new regulations and/or policies, which may require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations, in addition to those which we are undertaking currently. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of new regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment laws governing our business, operations and investments in our Company by non-residents, could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and/or may require us to apply for additional approvals. Tax and other levies imposed by the central and state governments in India that affect our tax liability include central and state taxes and other levies, income tax, turnover tax, goods and services tax, stamp duty and other special taxes and surcharges which are introduced on a temporary or permanent basis from time to time. The final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws and related regulations in each jurisdiction as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned and expenditures incurred. We are involved in various disputes with tax authorities. For details of these disputes, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 236. Moreover, the central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and subject to change from time to time. Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. For instance, the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, a new tax ordinance issued by India’s Ministry of Finance on September 20, 2019, prescribes a number of changes to the income tax rate applicable to companies in India.
According to this new ordinance, companies can henceforth voluntarily opt for a concessional tax regime (subject to no other special benefits/exemptions being claimed), which would ultimately reduce the effective tax rate for Indian companies. Any such future amendments may affect other benefits such as an exemption for income earned by way of dividend from investments in other domestic companies and units of mutual funds, exemption for interest received in respect of tax-free bonds, and long-term capital gains on equity shares if withdrawn by the statute in the future, and the same may no longer be available to us. Any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would influence our profitability. The Finance Act, 2022 (“Finance Act”), has, amongst others things, provided a number of amendments to the direct and indirect tax regime, including, without limitation, a simplified alternate direct tax regime and that dividend distribution tax (“DDT”), will not be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, such dividends would not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non- resident and are likely to be subject to tax deduction at source. The Company may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where 53applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source from such dividend. Investors should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of investing or trading in the Equity Shares. Further, the Government of India has notified the Finance Act, 2023, which has introduced various amendments to taxation laws in India. There is no certainty on the impact that the Finance Act may have on our business and operations or on the industry in which we operate. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
75. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures such as the 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 integrity, 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 Exchanges(s) which includes market based dynamic parameters such as high low price variation, client concentration, close to close price variation, market capitalization, average daily trading volume and its change, and average delivery percentage, among others. A scrip is typically subjected to GSM measures where there is an abnormal price rise that is not commensurate with the financial heath and fundamentals of a company. Specific parameters for GSM include net worth, net fixed assets, price to earnings ratio, market capitalisation, and price to book value, among others. Factors within and beyond our control may lead to our securities being subject to GSM or ASM. In the event our Equity Shares are subject to such surveillance measures implemented by any of the Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in connection with trading of our Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or freezing of 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 trading market for our Equity Shares.
76. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Issue Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company, in consultation with the BRLM. Furthermore, the Issue Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLM, through the Book Building mechanism. These will be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for the Issue Price” on page 95 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Issue. The market price of our Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Issue, and may decline below the Issue Price. The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance and results of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
77. Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (either quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the provisions of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and other regulations and guidelines prescribed by the SEBI, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares Bid for or the price) at any stage after submitting a Bid and are required to pay the Bid Amount at the time of submission of the Bid. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Issue within three (3) Working Days from the Bid/ Issue Closing Date, or such other period as may be prescribed by SEBI, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operation or financial condition, may arise between the date of submission of the Bid by QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors and Allotment of the Equity Shares. Our Company may choose to complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares pursuant to the Issue despite the occurrence or one or more such events, and QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors would not be able to withdraw or lower their Bids in such or any other situation, once they have submitted their Bid.
5478. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and the Issue may not result in an active or liquid market for the Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
Prior to the issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Indian Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, there will be liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue. The market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue can be volatile as a result of several factors beyond our control, including volatility in the Indian and global securities markets, our results of operations, the performance of our competitors, developments in the Indian and global machine tools industry, changing perceptions in the market about investments in this sector in India, investor perceptions of our future performance, adverse media reports about us or our sector, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts, significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies, and significant developments in India’s fiscal regulations. In addition, the Stock Exchanges may experience significant price and volume fluctuations, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Equity Shares. General or industry-specific market conditions or stock performance or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance may also affect the price of the Equity Shares. In particular, the stock market as a whole in the past has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many companies in ways that may have been unrelated to the companies’ operating performances. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future share prices, results of operations or cash flow and financial condition.
79. The sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters in future may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares.
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters will still own a significant percentage of our issued Equity Shares.
The sale of a large number of the Equity Shares by our Promoters could adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares. Similarly, the perception that any such primary or secondary sale may occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares. No assurance may be given that our Promoters will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
80. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares held as investments in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a 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 specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the Stock Exchanges, the quantum of gains and any available treaty relief Accordingly, Investors may be subject to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”), on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. 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 as well as STT.
Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will not be chargeable to tax in India in cases where relief from such taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident read with the Multilateral Instrument (“MLI”), if and to the extent applicable, and the seller is entitled to avail benefits thereunder. 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. No dividend distribution tax is required to be paid in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, such dividends would not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident. Our Company may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source pursuant to any corporate action including dividends. Our company cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations impacting it will be enacted, or predict the nature and impact of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations would have a material adverse effect on our Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
81. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the Issue.
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. The Allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with depository 55participant and listing is expected to commence within the period as may be prescribed under the applicable laws.
Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval or otherwise any delay in commencing trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose their Equity Shares. We cannot assure that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods prescribed under applicable law.
82. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the relevant stock exchange in a timely manner or at all.
There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the relevant stock exchange in a timely manner or at all. In accordance with Indian law, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Issue and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the relevant stock exchange within such time as mandated under UPI Circulars, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard. However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.

Unlike in bulk sale where the credit term is marginal, a higher credit term is given to push the Branded sales. The gradual increase in trade Trade Receivable receivables helps us to minimize the impact of competition by retaining our customers. Going forward, to build a long-term sustainable business relationship with customers and to add new customers, we are envisaging that the credit terms of 30 days would be maintained in the Fiscal
2026. The Company is engaged in dealing with agricultural produce where the credit period is minimum with receivables days ranging from 20-30 days. Further, with the increase in branded sales the receivable days and inventory days will increase.

INDIAN ECONOMY INTRODUCTION India’s economic journey over the past few years has been marked by remarkable growth and a steady rise in its position on the global stage. After overtaking the United Kingdom (UK) to become the fifth largest economy in Q1 FY23, India has continued this upward trajectory to surpass Japan in June 2025 to become the fourth largest economy in the world. With a nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Rs. 3,31,03,000 crore (US$ 3.78 trillion), India’s growth reflects a combination of strong domestic demand and policy reforms positioning the country as a key destination for global capital. Further, India is projected to reach a GDP of Rs. 4,26,45,000 crore (US$ 5 trillion) by 2027 and is on course to surpass Germany by 2028.
Rising employment and increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months.
MARKET OVERVIEW India’s economy shows robust expansion, with real GDP for FY25 estimated at Rs. 1,87,97,000crore (US$ 2.20 trillion), from Rs. 1,76,51,000 crore (US$ 2.06 trillion) in FY24 with a growth rate of 6.5%. This growth is driven by rising employment and stronger private consumption, supported by improving consumer sentiment, which is expected to keep the momentum going in the near future. Trade remains a critical pillar of India’s growth story with exports reaching Rs.
37,31,000 crore (US$ 436.6 billion) in FY25, led by Engineering Goods (26.88%), Petroleum Products (13.86%) and Electronic Goods (8.89%). These exports helped the economy stay resilient during the pandemic when other sectors slowed.

The current account deficit narrowed to Rs.1,98,726 crore (US$ 23.30 billion), or 0.6% of GDP, in FY25 from Rs. 2,21,754 crore (US$ 26.00 billion), or 0.7% of GDP, in FY24.

Expand our market presence to other states of India to increase our share of branded sales We supply processed wheat under our brand “Sharbati”, “HappyFamily” and “Taj Mahal” catering to our customers across the section of the society. For instance, our brand “Sharbati” and “HappyFamily” are premium products with gold quality wheat of 3.5 mm and above while our brand “Taj Mahal” is an economy category which contains good quality wheat of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm. Our revenue from Branded sales has grown at CAGR of 64.86% for the Fiscal 2022 to Fiscal 2024. Our revenue from sale of branded wheat during the corresponding period was ₹9,776.62 Lakhs, ₹7,499.78 Lakhs, ₹6,538.70 Lakhs and ₹2,242.51 Lakhs for the Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, representing 29.90%%, 30.69% and 26.36% of our revenue from operations, respectively.
Presently most of our Branded sales is derived from the state of Rajasthan, Assam, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana. We also sell marginally to some parts of Maharashtra, Punjab and Chandigarh. We continually seek to enhance our addressable market through our existing network and also by creating a network of dealers and distributors across the states of Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi. Our state wise network of distributor and dealers is as detailed herein below:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Chandigarh 2 2 2 Delhi 12 8 9 Gujarat 0 0 1 Haryana 42 42 41 Maharashtra 6 3 5 Punjab 2 2 1 Rajasthan 53 53 43 Uttar Pradesh 6 5 11 128Total 123 115 113 We gradually intend to expand our business operations to other states of the country. To sell products to end consumers, we intend to use modern trade channels, which comprise supermarkets and hyper-markets and general trade channels that include smaller retail stores including, e-commerce sales. We plan to continue our strategy of diversifying and expanding our presence in other states for the growth of our business. Through further diversification of our operations geographically, we hope to hedge against risks of operations in only specific areas and protection from fluctuations resulting from business concentration in limited geographical areas. Appointment of distributors across India to undertake our stocking and distribution enables us to reach our customers faster by reducing transportation time, optimise inventory, and limit trade over-dues.
Further, we intend to develop new products and further strengthen our product offering under our private labels, as we believe that our target customers normally do not shop for products with a pre decided brand in mind, but look for good quality and affordable products thereby providing us an opportunity to develop our private labels.
We will continue to launch new products to capture consumer trends. We have been evaluating new products in adjacent categories, based on a set of criteria, including our ability to create a differentiated offering, competitive intensity, go-to- market capability, scale and profitability of the new products. Our potential new products may include Fenugreek
(danamethi), Chickpea (Chana), Urad and Mustard (Rai), which we can process in our existing processing unit. We expect new products to increase our market share and further expand our customer base. We will sell these products across our customer base, with additional focus on selling private label products.

Our Process Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food. Raw wheat received at the factory contains weeds, seeds, chaff, and other foreign material.
131Processing of the raw wheat grain involves the following steps:
Procurement of Raw Bagging/Packing Weighing & Dispatch Material Wheat Colour Sorting Storage Storing and Processing Cleaning Grading i. Procurement of Raw Material:
Raw Material, i.e. raw wheat is procured from farmers and Kaccha Aadtiya. ii. Storing and Processing:
As raw wheat arrives in the factory, before it is passed through the cleaning process in order to remove coarse impurities, it is stored according to its quality. Quality of raw wheat is mainly determined by its hardness, protein content and gluten quality of the wheat.
iii. Cleaning:
Cleaning begins with screening to remove coarse and fine materials. iv. Grading:
At this stage, grain is separated by size, shape and weight by grading machine which works on the principle of specific gravity. v. Wheat Colour Sorting:
Discoloured wheat grains are removed off from the like coloured grains by wheat colour sorting machines. Photo sensors/ CCD (Charged Coupled Device) sensors generate voltage signal on viewing discoloured grains, which are then removed off by air jet generated through solenoid valves.
vi. Bagging/Packing:
The Finished product, whole pure wheat of different size, colour, shape and weight is packed in 25 Kg, 30Kg and 50 Kg HDPE Bags. vii. Weighing and dispatch:
There are 3 stages of weighing, i.e. first empty truck arrived at factory for procurement of our products is weighed, then after each bag of grain is weighed and lastly fully loaded truck with bags of grain is weighed to know exact quantity of grain being dispatched.
132viii. Storage:
Remaining packed bags are stored at warehouse for supply to customer as per orders/demands.

The Act basically identifies the ingredients of a legally enforceable valid contract in addition to dealing with certain special type of contractual relationships like indemnity, guarantee, bailment, pledge, quasi contracts, contingent contracts etc. In India, Indian Contract Act, 1872 governs the Contract and it applicability extends to whole of India. It came into force on First day of September 1872. Section 2(h) defines ―Contract as an agreement enforceable by law; in other words it is a) A Contract is an agreement; an agreement is a promise and a promise is an accepted proposal; b) An Agreement which is legally enforceable alone is a contract. Section 2(e) of the act defines the term ‘Agreement ‘as, ‘every promise or every set of promises forming consideration for each other. An Agreement is a promise or a commitment or set of reciprocal promises or commitments. An agreement involves an offer or proposal by one person and acceptance of such offer or proposal by another person. Section 2(b) defines term Promise i.e., ―When a person to whom proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted. Proposal when accepted becomes a promise. Section 2(d) defines Lawful Consideration as a mean for ‘compensation’ for doing or omitting to do an act or deed. It is also referred to as ‘quid pro quo ‘viz’ ‘something in return for another thing. Section 2(b) defines Promise as ―A Proposal when accepted becomes a promise.

Section 2(c) defines Promisor and promisee as ―When the proposal is accepted, the person making the proposal is called as promisor and the person accepting the proposal is called as promisee. An agreement enforceable by law is a valid contract. In other words it satisfies all the requirements of a valid contract as laid down in section 10.

220MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 including the notes and significant accounting principles thereto and the report thereon, which appear on page 187 of this Prospectus. Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements differ in certain material respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and GAAP in other countries, and our assessment of the factors that may affect our prospects and performance in future periods. Accordingly, the degree to which our Restated Financial Statements will provide meaningful information to a prospective investor in countries other than India is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Ind GAAP. These regulations may also vary with ICDR, which may be material to an investor’s assessment of our results of operations and financial condition. Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year, so all references to a particular Fiscal or fiscal year are to the twelve-month period ended March 31 of that year.

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such those described under “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking statements” on page 28 and 19 respectively of this Prospectus and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Some of the information contained in this chapter, including information with respect to our strategies, contain forward- looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

There is no Capital Work In Progress for the period ended 31 March 2025.
(vi) Investments "Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All investments are usually measured at cost.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing difference. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing difference of other items only to extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing are tax laws and the company has legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their reliability."

Further, the company assesses at each balance sheet date, the probability of future economic benefits using reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent the best estimate of the set economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset and amortizes the amount of asset accordingly.
223(xii) Impairment of Assets "An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date, whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the assets. If such recoverable amount of the assets or recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which assets belong is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in Profit and Loss account.
If at the Balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost."
(xiii) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions involving a substantial degree of estimation in measurement and are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is reasonably certain that there will be an outflow of resources. A provision is not discounted to its present value and is determined based on the last estimate require to settle an obligation at the year end, these are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best current estimates.

c. A.Y. 2016-17:
Filing an appeal to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in India. It addresses the assessment year 2016-17 and challenges an order under section 201 of the Income-tax Act. The order, identified as 69/14, was issued on November 30, 2018 and served on December 08, 2018 by the ITO, TDS, Kota. The appeal, made under section 246A, disputes a demand of Rs. 75,980 (Rs. 58,000/- being the TDS liability as calculated and Rs. 17,980/- being the interest amount thereon). The core issue revolves around the order under sections 201(1) and 201(1A), alleging the company failed to deduct TDS on directors' remuneration for FY 2015-16. The company argues that TDS was correctly deducted under
section 192 (salary) rather than section 194J (professional fees), as the directors are full-time employees. The grounds of appeal include misclassification of TDS deduction, wrongful default designation, and a claim that the order violates principles of natural justice. The appeal emphasizes that the directors have already reported and paid taxes on this income, thus the company should not be deemed in default under section 201(1) and is pending.

Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI Mechanism, the UPI Circular proposes to introduce and implement the UPI
Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
Phase I:
This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended until June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a RIB also had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the Designated Intermediaries and use his / her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing would continue to be six Working Days.
Phase II:
This phase had become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a period of three months or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019 decided to extend the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase II until March 31, 2020.

However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days during this phase. Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 extended the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase II till further notice.
Phase III:
This phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September 1, 2023 and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023, vide SEBI circular bearing number SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 (“T+3 Notification”).

Submission of a second Bid cum Application Form to either the same or to another BRLM or SCSB will be treated as multiple Bid and is liable to be rejected either before entering the Bid into the electronic bidding system, or at any point of time prior to the allocation or Allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue. However, the Bidder can revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the procedure for which is detailed under the paragraph “Build-up of the Book and Revision of Bids”.
The BRLM/ the SCSBs will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a separate Bid and generate a Transaction Registration Slip, (“TRS”), for each price and demand option and give the same to the Bidder. Therefore, a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for each Bid cum Application Form.
Upon receipt of the Bid cum Application Form, submitted whether in physical or electronic mode, the Designated Branch of the SCSB shall verify if sufficient funds equal to the Bid Amount are available in the ASBA Account, as mentioned in the Bid cum Application Form, prior to uploading such Bids with the Stock Exchange.
If sufficient funds are not available in the ASBA Account, the Designated Branch of the SCSB shall reject such Bids and shall not upload such Bids with the Stock Exchange. If sufficient funds are available in the ASBA Account, the SCSB shall block an amount equivalent to the Bid Amount mentioned in the Bid cum Application Form and will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a separate Bid and generate a TRS for each price and demand option. The TRS shall be furnished to the ASBA Bidder on request.
The Bid Amount shall remain blocked in the aforesaid ASBA Account until finalization of the Basis of Allotment and consequent transfer of the Bid Amount against the Allotted Equity Shares to the Public Issue Account, or until withdrawal/ failure of the Issue or until withdrawal/ rejection of the Bid cum Application Form, as the case may be. Once the Basis of Allotment is finalized, the Registrar to the Issue shall send an appropriate request to the SCSB for unblocking the relevant ASBA Accounts and for transferring the amount allocable to the successful Bidders to the Public Issue Account. In case of withdrawal/failure of the Issue, the blocked amount shall be unblocked on receipt of such information from the Registrar to the Issue.
