Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include steel, cement, and other construction materials required for civil and industrial EPC projects. These are described as 'material-intensive' inputs, though specific percentage of total cost per material is not disclosed.
Import Sources
Raw materials are primarily sourced from domestic markets in India to support current projects. Future sourcing will expand to the UAE to support the INR 2,645 Cr international contract.
Key Suppliers
The primary supplier of project opportunities and operational support is GHV (India) Private Limited, which subcontracts its EPC orders to the company. Specific third-party material suppliers like SAIL or UltraTech are not named.
Capacity Expansion
The company operates as an EPC contractor with an outstanding order book of INR 2,899.34 Cr as of March 31, 2025. Capacity is measured by its ability to execute this book, which is supported by the flagship GHV India's six decades of experience.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is growing due to digital tendering and policy reforms. The company is positioning itself to shift from legacy software services to a diversified infrastructure player to capitalize on the 10-15% annual growth in Indian infra spending.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition from established EPC firms. The company competes by leveraging the group's pre-qualification credentials to bid for larger projects.
Competitive Moat
The moat is derived from the 60-year track record of the GHV Group and the financial flexibility of being a listed entity. This provides a 'plug-and-play' operational model for a nascent company, though it is highly dependent on the parent.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to government infrastructure spending and the National Infrastructure Pipeline. A slowdown in public sector capex would directly reduce order inflows for the parent group and the company.
Consumer Behavior
Not applicable as the company is a B2B/B2G infrastructure provider.
Geopolitical Risks
The new UAE venture introduces geopolitical and international regulatory risks that could impact project timelines and profitability.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are subject to Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) regulations, environmental clearances for construction sites, and labor laws. The company received a 3-month extension from the ROC for its FY25 AGM.
Environmental Compliance
The company ensures compliance with environmental norms through internal audits, though specific ESG spend in INR is not disclosed.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company recorded a tax expense of INR 6.18 Cr on a Profit Before Tax of INR 23.33 Cr for FY 2024-25, implying an effective tax rate of approximately 26.5%.
Legal Contingencies
The company reported zero pending litigations that would have a material impact on its financial position as of March 31, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The nascent stage of operations (commenced Q3 FY25) creates uncertainty regarding the company's independent execution capability. Timely execution of the INR 2,899.34 Cr order book is a key sensitivity.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Currently 100% concentrated in India, specifically projects subcontracted through the Mumbai-based parent group.
Third Party Dependencies
100% dependency on GHV India for order book visibility and working capital support.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk in civil construction, but the company is adopting digital project management to improve efficiency and reduce debtor days.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Credit risk is mitigated by the fact that the primary counterparty is the parent group, though high receivables are monitored against performance metrics.
