Raw Material Costs
Cost of Goods Sold increased in FY25 due to higher purchase of goods, which contributed to a 47.47% decrease in the inventory turnover ratio.

Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The 44.59% drop in Chemical segment revenue and the 37.40% decrease in debtors' turnover indicate significant risks in revenue stability and cash flow collection efficiency.
Geographic Concentration Risk
100% concentration in the Indian market, specifically with manufacturing roots in Madhya Pradesh.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is addressing operational efficiency through consolidation but has not detailed specific digital or R&D technology shifts.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
The decrease in debtors' turnover to 0.94 suggests a potential risk in the quality of receivables or a significant extension of credit terms to customers.
