Competitive Moat

Geographic Concentration Risk
While expanding internationally, a significant portion of the order book (e.g., MCL contract) remains concentrated in India.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on major contract awards from PSUs like Mahanadi Coalfields and private majors like Vedanta.
