šŸŒ External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is growing but remains highly fragmented; there is a shift toward organized players and higher demand for HT cables in infrastructure projects.

Competitive Landscape

Faces intense competition from large organized players and a significant number of unorganized players.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on backward integration and an established pan-India dealer network, though margins remain range-bound between 10-11% due to competition.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Sensitive to infrastructure spending and industrial growth in India which drives demand for cables and wires.

Consumer Behavior

Increased demand for branded, reliable building wires in the retail segment.

Geopolitical Risks

Exposure to global commodity price fluctuations, particularly aluminum and copper.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Manufacturing is concentrated in Uttarakhand with two units; sales are distributed pan-India.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on primary aluminum producers like NALCO and Hindalco for raw material supply.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Receivable cycle of 86 days reflects credit risk associated with government-sector clients.
