What could break the thesis?
Inventory levels have surged dramatically from Rs. 235 Mn in FY24 to Rs. 1,018 Mn in FY25. While this may support the large order book, it represents a significant lock-up of capital. (3 intensifying, 2 easing, 1 high-severity)
“Net Cash Flow from Operations (in Mn) ... (120) H1 FY26; CFO/EBITDA ... (0.1)x H1 FY26”
This risk is intensifying as the company has moved from a single acquisition to a broader inorganic strategy, constituting a 'dedicated task force' to evaluate multiple new 'inorganic growth opportunities'. (4 intensifying, 1 easing, 1 high-severity)
