Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue from operations grew 18.36% YoY to INR 129.24 Cr in FY25 from INR 109.19 Cr in FY24. This growth was driven by volumetric increases and improved realizations across the product portfolio, including PP/PE woven bags and FIBCs.
Geographic Revenue Split
The company has a significant international presence, exporting to 30+ countries. While specific regional percentages are not disclosed, the export market is a key driver for the recently launched high-margin products like slit fences and ground covers.
Profitability Margins
Operating margins have seen a downward trend, declining to 3.6-3.7% in FY25 from 7.24% in FY23. Net Profit Margin (PAT Margin) stood at 0.18% in FY25, a decline of 65 bps from 0.83% in FY24, primarily due to raw material price volatility and increased freight costs.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin was 4.73% in FY25, down 154 bps from 6.28% in FY24. Absolute EBITDA fell 11.15% YoY to INR 6.22 Cr from INR 7.00 Cr, reflecting the impact of higher operating expenses which rose to INR 41.28 Cr.
Capital Expenditure
The company ramped up its new manufacturing unit in Udaipur during FY25. Property, Plant & Equipment increased to INR 51.58 Cr from INR 48.01 Cr. Capital work-in-progress was reduced to zero from INR 0.52 Cr as projects were commissioned.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company maintains a 'CRISIL BB+/Stable' rating. Total borrowings as of March 31, 2025, stood at INR 28.29 Cr (INR 4.24 Cr non-current and INR 24.05 Cr current). Bank limit utilization is high at 91-92%.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Specific raw materials include Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE) resins. Cost of materials consumed was INR 75.06 Cr in FY25, representing 58.08% of total revenue.
Import Sources
Not specifically disclosed in the documents, though the company notes sensitivity to global price fluctuations and freight costs associated with procurement.
Capacity Expansion

Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs increased 18.33% YoY to INR 75.06 Cr in FY25. The company manages costs through judicious inventory liquidation and monitoring price fluctuations to mitigate margin compression.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Efficiency is monitored through working capital management. The company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.0x despite stretched liquidity.
Logistics & Distribution
Increased freight costs were a primary driver for the decline in operating profitability to 3.6% in FY25.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate

External Factors
Industry Trends

Competitive Landscape
The company operates in a competitive market for packaging products, facing pressure from both raw material suppliers and end-user pricing demands.
Competitive Moat
The moat is based on the promoters' 30-year experience and established relationships with clients. Sustainability depends on successfully transitioning to high-margin technical products to offset commodity price risks.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global commodity prices (PP/PE) and international shipping/freight rates which impacted FY25 margins by over 150 bps.
Consumer Behavior
Increased demand for specialized industrial packaging in the food and pharma sectors is driving the company's shift in product strategy.
Geopolitical Risks
Export operations are subject to international trade dynamics and freight cost volatility.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Compliant with SEBI (LODR) Regulations and Companies Act 2013. The company maintains a Whistle Blower Policy and Vigil Mechanism.
Taxation Policy Impact

Legal Contingencies
No instances of non-compliance, penalties, or strictures were imposed by Stock Exchanges or SEBI during the year 2024-25.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Operating margin sustainability is the key uncertainty; a decline below 3.5% could lead to a credit rating downgrade due to tight cash accruals (INR 3.0-3.5 Cr) vs debt obligations.
Geographic Concentration Risk
While exporting to 30+ countries, the company maintains a strong manufacturing base in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on raw material suppliers for PP/PE resins, where price fluctuations directly impact the 58% cost of materials.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is mitigating technology risks by investing in new units and R&D for advanced products like FIBC and ground covers.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables stood at INR 21.35 Cr. The company extends credit of 60-70 days to customers, which contributes to a high GCA of 190-200 days.
