Geographic Revenue Split
Not explicitly disclosed by percentage, but the company focuses on 'Bharat' (regional Indian markets) and operates from its base in Chhattisgarh to serve regional demand.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Ratio remained stable at 9% for FY 2024-25. Standalone Net Profit grew 22.3% from INR 486.48 Lakhs to INR 595.42 Lakhs. Consolidated Net Profit stood at INR 727.54 Lakhs.

Consolidated EBITDA margin is approximately 18.4% (INR 1,288.62 Lakhs on revenue of INR 6,989.35 Lakhs). Standalone EBITDA grew from INR 902.72 Lakhs to INR 1,125.89 Lakhs, a 24.7% increase.
Capital Expenditure
The company follows a 'Capex-Light' model, aiming for 8x revenue for every INR 1 of asset. However, a preferential issue is planned to fund capital expenditure in its subsidiary, Arham Corporate Private Limited, and INR 10 Cr is committed to branding over 2 years.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Borrowing costs increased 43% YoY from INR 158.97 Lakhs to INR 227.38 Lakhs. Debt-Equity ratio improved by 30.47%, falling from 2.33 to 1.62 due to repayment and equity retention.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Plastics and sheet metal are primary inputs. The company is implementing backward integration for these materials to reduce vendor dependency and improve margins.
Import Sources
Not specifically disclosed, though the company emphasizes 'India-Made' and localized manufacturing in Chhattisgarh to ensure a Just-in-Time (JIT) supply chain.
Capacity Expansion
Current plant utilization is 30%, with a strategic plan to scale to 80% by FY28. This expansion is designed to be 'fungible' with current capacity, requiring no significant additional capex.
Raw Material Costs
Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue, but backward integration into plastics and sheet metal is cited as the primary strategy to lower procurement costs and improve turnaround.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company claims a 'multiplier effect' where scaling utilization from 30% to 80% drives disproportionate gains in EBITDA/PAT as fixed costs remain constant.
Logistics & Distribution
Not disclosed as a specific percentage, but the strategic location in the Electronic Manufacturing Cluster (Nava Raipur) provides a regional distribution advantage.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
60%
Growth Strategy
The company aims to reach INR 300 Cr revenue by FY28 (up from ~INR 70 Cr) through a 3-pronged strategy: 1) Investing INR 10 Cr in celebrity endorsements and branding for the 'STARSHINE' brand; 2) Aggressively bidding for Government tenders for Interactive Flat Panels (IFP) which could 2x-3x revenue; 3) Increasing plant utilization from 30% to 80%.
Products & Services
Smart Televisions (LED TVs), Fans, Air Coolers, and Interactive Flat Panels (IFP).
Brand Portfolio
STARSHINE
New Products/Services
Interactive Flat Panels (IFP) for the education/government sector, expected to be a 'game changer' for revenue scaling.
Market Expansion
Focusing on regional markets ('Bharat') and scaling the STARSHINE brand to a national level through celebrity-led marketing.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward localized electronics manufacturing. Arham is positioning itself as a pure-play manufacturer with high asset efficiency (8x turnover) compared to the industry average of 2-3x.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with major national white goods brands and regional suppliers, particularly in the fan and TV segments.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 'Built-In Operating Leverage' and a 'Capex-Light' model. The ability to triple output without significant new debt or equity dilution provides a durable cost advantage over capital-intensive competitors.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to consumer spending on white goods and government education budgets (for IFP tenders).
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for affordable, India-made electronics in regional markets is driving the shift toward brands like STARSHINE.
Geopolitical Risks
Not disclosed, though the 'India-Made' focus suggests a strategy to mitigate risks associated with imported electronics components.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. Manufacturing is located in a designated Electronic Manufacturing Cluster, subject to local industrial norms.
Taxation Policy Impact
Current tax provision for FY25 was INR 212.59 Lakhs (Standalone) and INR 242.37 Lakhs (Consolidated).
Legal Contingencies
The CFO and Auditors report no instances of significant fraud or material illegal transactions for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Success is heavily dependent on the 'STARSHINE' brand's market acceptance and the outcome of high-value government tenders for flat panels.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in Chhattisgarh and surrounding regional markets, though expanding via branding.
Third Party Dependencies
Historically dependent on vendors for plastics and sheet metal, currently being mitigated through backward integration.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Rapid changes in Smart TV and Interactive Panel technology require continuous manufacturing updates.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio improved 7.26% to 6.20, indicating improved collection efficiency and lower counterparty risk.
