Capacity Expansion
Currently operates 4 manufacturing facilities. Expansion is underway with land already acquired in Ghaziabad for a new export-oriented unit.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material procurement is identified as a key risk area. Procurement strategies focus on streamlining manufacturing and optimizing resources to control costs while facilitating QoQ growth.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Integrated facilities (dyeing to packaging) drive efficiency. ROCE improved to 0.29 in FY25 from 0.26 in FY24, reflecting better capital efficiency.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
21.21%
Growth Strategy
Growth is targeted through a multi-pronged approach: infrastructure development (new Ghaziabad unit), geographic expansion into Dubai and other international markets, and scaling the Mauji Trip subsidiary in the travel sector. The company is also focusing on high-margin garment export orders, such as a recent INR 50 Cr contract.
Products & Services
Garments (manufactured and exported), IT Support Services (government and institutional), and Tour & Travel services (Ticketing, Leisure Travel, and MICE).
Brand Portfolio
Mauji Trip (Travel Services subsidiary) and F-Route (Logo/Brand).
New Products/Services
Expansion of export-quality garment lines and world-class services in Leisure Travel and MICE through Mauji Trip Limited.
Market Expansion
Targeting newer geographies for garments and expanding the domestic footprint for IT services. The new Ghaziabad unit is the primary vehicle for export market expansion.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The garment industry is seeing a shift toward integrated manufacturing. The travel industry is experiencing a surge in Leisure and MICE demand, evidenced by SBC's 145% growth in travel services in FY24.
Competitive Landscape
The company competes in the fragmented garment export market and the competitive IT support and travel services sectors.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on integrated manufacturing facilities (dyeing, printing, stitching, packaging) which provide cost leadership and quality control. This is sustainable due to the high capital requirement for integrated setups.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
IT segment revenue is sensitive to domestic political cycles (e.g., elections), which reduced order flow in FY24.
Consumer Behavior
Increased demand for leisure travel and corporate MICE services is driving the growth of the Mauji Trip subsidiary.
Geopolitical Risks
Exposure to international trade dynamics through the Dubai export push and potential trade barriers in newer geographies.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are subject to garment manufacturing standards and IT service delivery norms for government contracts.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate for FY24 was approximately 27% (INR 3.50 Cr tax on INR 12.94 Cr PBT).
Legal Contingencies
The company reported zero investor complaints received or pending as of September 30, 2025.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in raw material prices and potential delays in government IT contracts due to external political factors.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Significant revenue concentration in the Dubai region for the export business.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on government organizations for the IT Support Services segment.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The IT segment requires continuous investment in innovation and technology to remain competitive.
