Strengths & Risks
Strengths
- Sales and profit have grown for three years. Total income went from Rs 61.03 crore in FY2024 to Rs 67.07 crore in FY2025 and Rs 94.32 crore in FY2026.
- Profit after tax grew four times in two years, from Rs 2.17 crore in FY2024 to Rs 5.03 crore in FY2025 and Rs 8.63 crore in FY2026.
- The company reduced its loan while growing. Total borrowing came down from Rs 15.79 crore to Rs 7.84 crore between FY2025 and FY2026, and net worth rose to Rs 25.25 crore.
- EBITDA improved from Rs 5.38 crore in FY2024 to Rs 15.80 crore in FY2026.
- The full issue of Rs 32.40 crore is a fresh issue. No promoter is selling and the entire money comes to the company.
- Rs 19.56 crore of the money will build a new manufacturing unit at Auric City, Aurangabad, which will add capacity.
- The three divisions of lighting, motors and mirrors reduce dependence on any single product.
- The company has its own tool room and testing lab in the factory, which helps in quality control and in developing new parts.
Risks
- The company is an auto parts supplier, so its sales depend fully on two wheeler and three wheeler demand. Any slowdown in vehicle sales will hit orders directly.
- The whole business runs from one factory in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Any strike, power problem or local issue there will affect the entire production.
- The company depends more on contract workers than on its own staff. It has 73 permanent employees against 135 contract workers.
- Raw materials such as plastic, metal and electronic parts keep changing in price. If the cost cannot be passed on to vehicle makers, margin will fall.
- Auto component makers usually sell to a few large customers, so losing even one buyer can affect a big part of the sales.
- The company is small and competes with much larger automotive lighting companies with bigger budgets.
- Promoter holding will come down from 96.79% to 70.18% after the issue.
- This is an SME issue. One lot is 1,200 shares, which is more than Rs 1.12 lakh at the upper band of Rs 94, and SME shares usually trade in low volume after listing.
