Capital Expenditure
Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) increased to INR 209.6 Cr as of September 2025 from INR 149.4 Cr in March 2025, representing a capital outlay of approximately INR 60.2 Cr in six months for capacity expansion in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
CRISIL upgraded the rating to 'CRISIL A/Stable/CRISIL A1' from 'CRISIL A-/Stable/CRISIL A2+'. The company is virtually debt-free with a gearing ratio below 0.02 times and interest coverage estimated above 16 times for FY25.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Steel (including steel coils and plates) is the primary raw material. While the exact percentage of total cost is not specified, the company notes that 75% of contracts are fixed-price, making margins highly sensitive to steel price volatility.
Import Sources
Sourced domestically within India; specific states are not listed, but the company has a strategic partnership with JSPL (Jindal Steel and Power Limited) for heavy steel building segments.
Key Suppliers
JSPL (Jindal Steel and Power Limited) is a key strategic partner for sourcing and joint opportunities in heavy steel structures.
Capacity Expansion
Expanding Pre-engineered Building (PEB) capacity in Gujarat and Heavy Steel Structures (including multistory buildings) in Athivaram, Andhra Pradesh. PPE increased 40% in H1 FY26 to support this expansion.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are a major component of the cost structure; the company faces risk because only 25% of contracts are variable-price, meaning 75% of the portfolio cannot pass on sudden steel price spikes to customers.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operating leverage is improving as scale increases; revenue per employee and overhead absorption are expected to improve as production volumes rise at new facilities.
Logistics & Distribution
Not disclosed as a specific percentage of revenue.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The global PEB market is projected to grow from USD 19-21 Bn in 2023 to USD 32-34 Bn by 2028. The industry is shifting toward complex, multistory steel buildings and serving new-age sectors like data centers and EV plants.
Competitive Landscape
Competitors are increasing capacity from lower bases; Interarch focuses on the organized sector where it maintains high market share and targets double-digit margins through complexity and scale.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on a 25-year track record, established relationships with blue-chip industrial clients (79% repeat orders in FY23), and the technical capacity to execute complex, large-scale heavy steel projects.

Highly sensitive to the industrial capex cycle and GDP growth, as 89% of revenue is derived from the Industrial/Manufacturing sector.
Consumer Behavior
Industrial customers are increasingly shifting toward PEB over traditional construction for faster turnaround times in sectors like logistics and electronics manufacturing.
Geopolitical Risks
Global steel price fluctuations driven by international trade dynamics directly impact input costs and profitability.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations must comply with Section 134(3)(n) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 21 of SEBI Listing Regulations regarding risk management and internal controls.
Environmental Compliance
The Risk Management Committee is responsible for sustainability and ESG-related risks as per the 2024-25 Annual Report.
Taxation Policy Impact

Legal Contingencies
Not disclosed in available documents; the company reported 0 pending investor complaints at the end of FY25.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in steel prices poses a significant risk to the 75% of the order book that is fixed-price. A sustained downturn in industrial capex could impact the INR 1,634 Cr order book execution.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Historically concentrated in India, but diversifying with new plants in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat to reduce regional dependency.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on steel producers like JSPL for raw material supply and joint project execution in the heavy steel segment.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk; the company is upgrading to 'new age' construction for data centers and semiconductors to stay ahead of traditional construction methods.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables stood at INR 177.3 Cr in Sept-25, down from INR 211.0 Cr in Mar-25, indicating improving collection efficiency despite higher revenue.
