The risk has intensified as steel prices dropped by INR 3,000-3,500 per ton in Q2, leading to inventory losses and a reported EBITDA margin of only 1.5% compared to the 2-2.5% target. (4 intensifying, 1 easing, 2 high-severity)

Execution risk is intensifying as management admitted they will not meet the FY26 EBITDA target of INR 200 crores, having only achieved INR 64 crores in H1. They are now pushing the 'true' performance expectations to Q4. (2 intensifying, 1 easing, 1 resolved, 2 high-severity)

The risk is STABLE. Management acknowledges a 'softness in demand' and a weak environment in Q3, particularly in downstream products. They are factoring in a demand slowdown for their FY27 guidance by assuming lower utilization per center. (1 stable, 1 high-severity)

The risk is stable but remains elevated. Net Working Capital (NWC) days are at 27 days, which is an improvement from FY25 (30 days) but significantly higher than Q3FY25 (11 days). (1 stable, 1 resolved, 1 intensifying)

EASING. NWC days improved to 22 days in H1FY26 from 30 days in FY25, indicating faster conversion of inventory and receivables into cash. (5 easing)
