Credit Rating & Borrowing
Credit rating reaffirmed at AA- (Positive) by ICRA and CARE. Borrowing costs are supported by a strong interest coverage ratio of over 8 times.

Execution and technology risks in the nascent Solar and BESS segments (40% of OB is in nascent stages) could impact margins by 5-10% if delays occur.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Revenue is spread across 13-15 states, reducing dependency on any single regional economy.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on specialized vendors for solar panels and battery storage systems; specific supplier names not disclosed.
