Net profit margin for FY25 was -18.99%, an improvement from -27.98% in FY24. Historically, the company maintained a net margin of 7.2% in Q3 Dec 2015. The current negative margins are driven by higher net losses of INR 11.03 Cr in FY25 compared to INR 8.33 Cr in FY24.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin was 14.5% in Q3 Dec 2015 (INR 9.71 Cr). However, the company reported a net operating loss of INR 20.60 Cr in FY21 and continued operating losses in FY25, evidenced by a negative interest coverage ratio of -11.79x.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Liquidity is rated as 'Poor' due to a squeeze from lockdown impacts. The company was granted a moratorium on interest and installments by lenders and secured ad-hoc limits of INR 7.50 Cr. Interest coverage is severely stressed at -11.79x.

Strategic Growth
Growth Strategy

Brand Portfolio
CMI
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward niche cable products with stringent pre-qualification criteria for government projects, creating a 1 to 4-year entry barrier for new players.
Competitive Landscape
The landscape is characterized by high competition from organized and unorganized players, which limits the company's ability to pass on cost increases.
Competitive Moat
Moat is sustainable due to the long lead time (1-4 years) required for new entrants to gain approvals from key government bodies like Indian Railways and NTPC.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
High sensitivity to economic lockdowns and disruptions, which led to a net loss of INR 194.60 Cr in FY21 compared to a profit of INR 3.70 Cr in FY20.
Consumer Behavior
B2B demand is driven by government infrastructure spending and PSU procurement cycles.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations

Legal Contingencies
The company is under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) as of November 2025. Powers of the board are suspended, and Deepak Maini has been appointed as the Resolution Professional.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the outcome of the CIRP and the company's ability to restore its current ratio, which stands at a critically low 0.22.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
High credit risk exposure due to a 100% B2B model and long debtor cycles, with debtors turnover ratio at 11.36 months in FY25.
