🔭IPO STRENGTHS
Environment-friendly manufacturing process: In today’s world, environmentally friendly manufacturing is not an option, but a necessity. Following this belief, the company consciously selected and utilized hot charging for manufacturing products in order to significantly reduce the use of coal and electricity.
Competitive edge: The company does customization in thickness, length, and quality of the product. So, the demand for its products is higher than that of its competitors who manufacture and sell standard industry sizes and dimensions of products.
The strategic location of manufacturing units: Unit I at Mahabubnagar District is located approximately 70 kilometers from Hyderabad. Unit II in Anantapur District is around 18 km from Bellary, which is one of the hubs in South India for iron ore production.
Expanding geographical network: As part of its strategy, the company will continue to develop and nurture existing markets and create new distribution channels in non-penetrated regions.
🔎IPO RISKS
Absence of big-ticket customers: Business operations and financial performance may be adversely affected by the absence of large customers and dependence on smaller customers.
No long-term agreements with customers: due to uncertainty in demand, the company has no way to know if these suppliers and customers will continue to do business with it.
Seasonal in nature: Throughout the steel and steel products industry, demand and pricing are volatile and affected by the cyclical nature of the industries it serves.
