Operational Drivers
Raw Materials

Key Suppliers
The company sources plates and coils from various Steel Companies, though specific names are not listed.
Capacity Expansion
Current facility (Unit II) is 300,000 sq. ft. The company aims to reach a production target of 2,000 tonnes within the next 3-4 years.
Raw Material Costs
Steel prices dropped 28.75% from INR 80/kg in March 2023 to INR 57/kg in March 2024. This price volatility caused a 14.83% decline in PAT despite a 13.23% increase in sales volume.

Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
13.23%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by leveraging the 8.33x expansion in floor space (from 36,000 to 300,000 sq. ft.) to handle bulky Pre-Engineering Building (PEB) materials. The company is targeting 2,000 tonnes of production in 3-4 years and has a plant booked through October 2024.

New Products/Services
Pre-Engineering Building (PEB) structures are the primary focus of the new capacity expansion.
Market Expansion
The company is expanding its reach from its Gujarat base to northern and central India, specifically targeting large industrial clients in Punjab and Chhattisgarh.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) for faster industrial construction. Bansal Roofing has positioned itself by expanding its facility to 300,000 sq. ft. to accommodate the storage and fabrication of heavy structural components.
Competitive Moat
The moat is based on manufacturing scale in Gujarat and established relationships with major conglomerates like Adani. The 300,000 sq. ft. facility provides a significant capacity advantage over smaller regional players.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
High sensitivity to domestic steel price cycles and industrial construction demand.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
The company maintains ISO 9001-2015 certification and complies with standard manufacturing and safety norms for structural steel fabrication.
Environmental Compliance
ESG initiatives include a 15 KW solar plant and energy-efficient factory design using natural light and self-driven roof ventilators.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Steel price volatility (which caused a 14.83% profit drop) and the availability of skilled labor for large-scale structural fabrication.
Geographic Concentration Risk
100% of manufacturing is concentrated in Savli, Vadodara, Gujarat.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on primary steel producers for raw material supply.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is mitigating technology risk by installing new machinery to meet its 2,000-tonne production target.
