SECTION III – RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information
in this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an
investment in our Equity Shares. In making an investment decision prospective investor must rely on their own
examination of our Company and the terms of this issue including the merits and risks involved. Any potential
investor in, and subscriber of, the Equity Shares should also pay particular attention to the fact that we are
governed in India by a legal and regulatory environment in which some material respects may be different from
that which prevails in other countries. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks
and uncertainties we currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are
not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could suffer, the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of
your investment. Additionally, our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not
presently known to us or that we currently consider as immaterial to our operations.
Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify or quantify
the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein. To obtain a complete understanding, you
should read this section in conjunction with the chapters titled “Our Business” beginning on page on 115,
“Industry Overview” beginning on page. 101 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 193 respectively, as well as other financial information
contained herein.
The Risk Factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality.
• Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively;
• Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively;
• Some events may not be material at present but may have material impact in future.
The financial and other related implications of the risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed
in the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are risk factors where the impact may not be quantifiable
and hence the same has not been disclosed in such risk factors. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information
of the Company used in this section is derived from our financial statements under Indian Accounting Standards,
as restated in this Red Herring Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated, we are not in a position to specify or quantify
the financial or other risks mentioned herein. For capitalized terms used but not defined in this chapter, refer to
the chapter titled “Definitions and Abbreviations” beginning on page. 3. The numbering of the risk factors has
been done to facilitate ease of reading and reference and does not in any manner indicate the importance of one
risk factor over another.
The risk factors are classified as under for the sake of better clarity and increased understanding:

1. There are outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, Promoters, Directors and Group
Companies. Any adverse decision in such proceeding may have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We are involved in certain legal proceedings which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various
30
courts, tribunals, enquiry officers, and appellate authorities. We cannot provide assurance that these legal
proceedings will be decided in our favour. Any adverse decisions in any of the proceedings may have a significant
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

of the Company.
For the details of litigation proceedings, please refer the chapter titled “Outstanding Litigations and Material
Developments” beginning on page 207 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
2. We lack ownership of the registered office used by our company. Any interference with our entitlements
as the licensee/lessee or the cancellation of contracts with our licensors/lessors could have a negative effect
on our activities and, as a result, our overall business.
Our registered office is located at the Room No 204 Above OBC Bank Street Port Town Paradeep, Jagatsinghpur
-754142, Odisha, India. We do not own this office; instead, we have leased it for a Year starting from January
01, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2025. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew this
lease on terms that are commercially acceptable or favorable in the future. For more information, please refer to
the "Our Business" section on page 115 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In the event that we are required
to vacate any of our current rented premises, we would need to find new offices and infrastructure.
There is no assurance that these new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable or favorable terms. If we
are compelled to relocate our business operations during this period, it may lead to a disruption in our operations
or require us to incur higher costs. This could negatively impact our business, prospects, financial results, and
overall financial condition.
3. Our business demands substantial working capital, and any delays in securing the necessary funds could
negatively affect our financial performance.
Our company operates in the infrastructure sector, and a significant portion of our current assets does not qualify
for bank financing. To secure projects, the company must furnish performance bank guarantees, necessitating
31
the provision of a cash margin. Additionally, clients retain a percentage of the contract value as Retention Money
upon project completion. There is high inventory and other current assets days in our company. All these factors
contribute to a substantial need for working capital.
The last three years’ working capital requirement of the company is as given below:
Amount in ₹ lakhs

period Restated for the year ended

Working Capital 7,299.61 4,819.18 3,296.22 3,063.31
4. Our business, growth prospects and financial performance largely depends on our ability to obtain new
contracts, and there is no assurance that we will be able to procure new contracts.
We actively participate in the competitive bidding process for various projects on an ongoing basis, with a focus
on infrastructure projects. The Government of Odisha typically awards infrastructure projects through a
competitive bidding process, contingent upon meeting specified qualification criteria. It is noteworthy that in the
past, our bids for infrastructure projects have encountered rejection, either due to the favorable standing of our
competitors.
It is important to acknowledge that there is no guarantee of our ability to fulfill these criteria in the future, whether
independently or in collaboration with joint venture partners. Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that we
will choose to bid on projects for which we are qualified, or that our submitted bids, whether pending or already
submitted, will be accepted.
In case we face challenges in securing new contracts, it will have a significant and adverse impact on our business.
5. Our Company’s top 10 customers contribute majority of our revenues from operations for the period ended
March 31, 2024. Any loss of business from one or more of them may adversely affect our revenues and
profitability.
Our Company’s top 10 customers contributed 98.58 % and 97.09 % of our revenues from operations for the period
ended September 30, 2024 and for FY ended March 31, 2024; respectively. Such concentration of our business on
few clients may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and result in a significant reduction in the
revenue from operations which could also adversely affect our business if we do not achieve our expected margins
or suffer losses, from such clients. We cannot assure that we shall generate the same quantum of business, or any
business at all, and the loss of business from one or more of them may adversely affect our revenues and results
of operations. However, the composition and revenue generated from these customers might change as we continue
to add new customers in the normal course of business. While we believe that we shall not face challenges in
finding new customers in the ordinary course of business, our results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected if we remain dependent on few customers.
6. We have in the past entered into transactions with related parties and may continue to do so in the future.
These or any future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest and there can
be no assurance that we could not have achieved better terms, had such arrangements been entered into
with unrelated parties.
The table below provides summary of transactions from related parties during the period ended September 30,
2024 and last 3 financial years ended on March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022:

For further details in relation to transactions with related parties, please refer to the section entitled “Related
Party Transactions” on page 187. We have entered into various transactions with related parties, including the
purchase and sale of services from time to time. While we confirm that these related party transactions entered
into by us, were in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 as amended and other applicable laws, we cannot
assure you that we could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with
33
unrelated parties. Although upon listing of our Equity Shares pursuant to the issue, all related party transactions
that we may enter into, will be subject to the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing
Regulations, there can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or that we could not achieve more favorable
terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related parties. Such related party transactions may
potentially involve conflicts of interest.
There is no assurance that our related party transactions in future would be on terms favorable to us when
compared to similar transactions with unrelated or third parties or that our related party transactions, individually
or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition. For details, see “Financial
Statements as Restated – Annexure VIII: Related Party Transaction” on page 187.
7. The restated financial statements have been provided by peer reviewed chartered accountants who is not
statutory auditor of our Company.
The Restated Financial Statements of our Company for the period ended September 30, 2024 and for the
financial year ended March 31 2024, 2023 and 2022 has been provided by a peer reviewed chartered accountants
who is not statutory auditor of our Company. We have engaged them to provide an impartial and thorough
review, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of our financial reporting.
8. Our other properties are not owned by us. In the event, we are unable to renew the lease/rent agreements,
or if such agreements are terminated, we may suffer a disruption in our operations.
Our corporate office, branch office, warehouses, etc are taken on lease of varying tenures. These leases are
renewable on mutually agreed terms. Upon termination of the lease, we are required to return the said business
premises to the Lessor/Licensor, unless renewed. There can be no assurance that the term of the agreements will
be renewed and in the event the Lessor/Licensor terminates or does not renew the agreements on commercially
acceptable terms, or at all, and we are required to vacate our offices, we may be required to identify alternative
premises and enter into fresh lease or leave and license agreement. Such a situation could result in loss of
business, time overruns and may adversely affect our operations and profitability.
For further details of properties, please refer to the chapter titled "Our Business" beginning on page 115
9. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter could be lower than the floor price.
Our Promoter’s average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company may be lower than the Floor Price
of the Price Band as may be decided by the Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager. For
further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company and
build-up of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company, please refer chapter titled “Summary of Issue
Document” and “Capital Structure” beginning on pages no 22 and 67 respectively.
10. The industry in which we operate has many big players due to which our Company faces a lot of
competition from them. This may affect our business operational and financial conditions.
The logistics market is very competitive. There are many bigger groups operating in the industry and they
compete with each other on key attributes such as technical competence, quality of services, customer base,
pricing and timely delivery. These bigger groups are far ahead in terms of technical know-how, capital adequacy,
availability of financial resources, skilled labor and better industry experience. These companies pose a lot of
competition and consequently affect our volume of sales and growth prospects. Increasing competition may result
in a decline in our market share and may affect our profit margins which may adversely affect our business
operations and our financial conditions.
11. Two legal cases are pending against our Promoter and managing director
34
Two legal cases have been filed against Mr. Khalid Khan, our promoter and Managing Director. All required submissions
and documents have been provided by Mr. Khan. The cases are currently under judicial review. For the details of litigation
proceedings, please refer the chapter titled “Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments” beginning on
page 207 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
12. If we are unable to attract new clients or our existing clients do not wish to do business with us, the
growth of our business and cash flows will be adversely affected.
To increase our revenue and cash flows, we must regularly add new clients. If we are unable to generate sufficient
revenue through our marketing programs, or if our existing or new clients do not perceive our services to be of
sufficiently high value and quality, we may not be able to increase sales and our operating results would be
adversely affected. In addition, our existing clients have no obligation to continue with business relationships,
and this may decline or fluctuate due to a number of factors, including customers’ satisfaction with our services,
our prices and the prices of competing service providers. If we fail to sell our services to new customers or if our
existing customers do not wish to continue, our operating results will suffer, and our revenue growth, cash flows
and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.
13. Breakdown, Mishaps or accidents could result in a loss or slowdown in operations and could also cause
damage to life and property.
The services provided by our company are subject to operating risks, including but not limited to breakdown of
the vehicles or accidents & mishaps which could affect our service providing capabilities. Though we take all
the possible measure to reduce the risk of any such breakdown but there may be events which may be beyond
our control. While, till date, there have not been any notable incidents involving mishaps or major accidents, we
cannot assure that these may not occur in the future. Further, we rely on third party service providers like airline
carriers, shipline and other service providers and any mishaps or accidents happening with these service providers
may also affect our operations. Any consequential losses arising due to such events will affect our operations
and financial condition.
Further, our operations are heavily dependent on trucks, machinery and equipment, including air conditioners,
refrigeration infrastructure, data loggers, sorters and conveyors, vehicles and material handling equipment,
including reach trucks, forklifts, very narrow aisle trucks and battery-operated pallet trucks. Any significant
malfunction or breakdown of our machinery or equipment may entail significant repair and maintenance costs
and cause delays in our operations. Further, if we are unable to repair the malfunctioning machinery or
equipment, our operations may need to be suspended until we procure machinery or equipment to replace the
same. Any malfunction or breakdown of our machinery or equipment may also cause the quality of products
stored with us to be affected. Consequently, we may be liable for losses due to damage to our customers’
products. Any breach of our obligations may result in termination of our contracts with our customers, which
could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and financial results. Accordingly, any breakdown of
our machinery or equipment may have a significant effect on our business, reputation, financial results and
growth.
14. We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business and are required to comply
with certain rules and regulations to operate our business, and the failure to obtain, retain and renew such
approvals and licenses in timely manner or comply with such rules and regulations or at all may adversely
affect our operations.
We require several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to operate our Business. We need to
make compliance and applications at appropriate stages of our business to continue our operations. There can be
no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof in a timely
manner, or at all. Further any default by our Company in complying with the same may result in the cancellation
of such licenses, approvals or registrations which may adversely affect our operations and financial strength.
Further, we have to apply for change in name in all registrations and approvals which are in the name of private
limited and we are yet to apply for registration Certificate of Motor Transport Workers.
35
Further, many of these approvals are granted for fixed periods of time and need renewal from time to time. Non-
renewal of the said permits and licenses would adversely affect our Company’s operations, thereby having a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance
that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at
all. Any failure by us to apply in time, to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits, licenses or approvals, or
the cancellation, suspension or revocation of any of the permits, licenses or approvals may result in the interruption
of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on the business. For further details, please see chapters
titled “Key Regulations and Policies” and “Government and Other Key Approvals” at beginning on pages 138
and 217 respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus.
15. There have been certain inadvertent inaccuracies, delay and non-compliances with respect to certain
regulatory filings and corporate actions taken by our Company. Consequently, we may be subject to
regulatory actions and penalties for any past or future non-compliance and our business and financial
condition may be adversely affected.
Our Company has encountered certain inadvertent inaccuracies, delays, and non-compliances concerning
regulatory filings and corporate actions in the past. As a result, we may face regulatory actions and penalties for
any historical or future non-compliance, potentially adversely impacting our business and financial condition.
Notably, there were cases of delayed filing of statutory forms under the Companies Act with the Registrar of
Companies (ROC), which were subsequently rectified by paying additional fees.
For instance, our Company has made some clerical mistakes in documents, some documents have not been
properly signed or some documents/statements were not attached with the forms filed with Registrar of
Companies. Further, the company has failed to file E-Form MGT 14 for Increase in Authorised Share Capital
with the Registrar of Companies. Additionally, our company has not filed certain E-Forms CHG-4 with the
Registrar of Companies (ROC), despite having settled the loan with the bank or financial institution. Also in the
year 2023, our individual shareholders Mr. Pravat Kumar Nandi has transferred 10 equity shares of ₹ 10.00 each
to Mr. Sekh Arif and Ms. Parbati Priya Nandi has transferred 20 Equity shares of ₹. 10.00 each to Mr. Afaque
Khan and Mr. Dharanidhar Bai respectively. The said transaction was executed in cash. Although no show cause
notice has been issued against our Company till date in respect of above, in the event of any cognizance being
taken by the concerned authorities in respect of above, actions may be taken against our Company and its
directors, in which event the financials of our Company and our directors may be affected. Any penalty or action
taken by any regulatory authorities in future for non-compliance with provisions of corporate and other law could
impact the financial position of the Company to that extent.
Our company has submitted Form MGT-14 to add a new clause 4 to the existing main Object Clause pursuant to
special resolution passed on August 14, 2024. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, the form
remains pending for approval from the Registrar of Companies. This uncertainty surrounding the approval
process introduces regulatory and compliance risks.
While this could be attributed to technical lapses and human errors, our Company has appointed a Company
Secretary and is in the process of setting up a system to ensure the requisite filings are done in timely manner.
16. Our Group Company is engaged in the similar line of business as of our Company. There are no non -
compete agreements between our Company and these Promoter Group Entities. We cannot assure that our
Promoter will not favour the interests of such entities over our interest or that the said entities will not
expand which may increase our competition and may adversely affect business operations and financial
condition of our Company.
Our group company are engaged in the business of providing logistic services only which is similar line of
business as of our Company. Further, we have not entered into any non-compete agreement with any of our said
entities. We cannot assure that our Promoter who has common interest in said entities will not favour the interest
of the said entities. As a result, conflicts of interests may arise in allocating business opportunities amongst our
Company and aforesaid entities in circumstances where our respective interests diverge. In cases of conflict, our
36
Promoter may favour other entities in which our Promoter has interests. There can be no assurance that our
Promoters or our Promoter Group entities will not compete with our existing business or any future business that
we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours. Any such present and future conflicts could
have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition which
may adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.
17. Our business is dependent on the transportation infrastructure in India and our ability to utilise our
vehicles in an uninterrupted manner. Any disruptions or delays in this regard could adversely affect us
and lead to a loss of reputation and/ or profitability.
The transportation and delivery services we provide are dependent on the transportation network in India
including the road, rail and water transport network. There are various factors which affect transport
infrastructure development such as political unrest, bad weather conditions, natural calamities, road construction,
road quality, regional disturbances, accidents or mishaps and third-party negligence. Even though we undertake
various measures to avoid or mitigate such factors to the extent possible, some of these could cause extensive
damage and affect our operations and/or the condition of our vehicles, thereby increasing our operational costs.
Also, any such interruption or disruptions could cause delays in the delivery of goods to their destination and/or
also cause damage to transported cargo. We may be held liable to pay compensation for losses incurred by our
customers in this regard, and/or losses or injuries sustained by other third parties. Further, such delays and/or
damage may cause a loss of reputation, which, over a period of time could lead to a decline in business.
18. Our Company has during the preceding one year from the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus have
allotted Equity Shares at a price which is lower than the Issue Price.
In the last 12 months, we have made a Bonus Issue of 52,50,000 Equity Shares of Face Value of ₹ 10.00 each
fully paid up in the ratio of 01 (One) equity shares for every 01 (One) equity shares held on October 09, 2023 to
our promoters and promoter group, which is lower than the Issue Price and Private Placement of 8,40,000 Equity
Shares of ₹ 10.00 each allotted on February 10, 2024. For further details, please refer section titled “Capital
Structure” on page 67 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The Issue Price may not be an indicative of the
price that will prevail in the open market post listing of the Equity Shares.
19. Changes in technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to undertake
substantial capital investments, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We take all the possible steps to keep ourselves upgraded to the latest technology. Technologies currently under
development or that may be developed in the future, if employed by our existing competitors or new entrants,
may adversely affect our competitiveness. The development and application of new technologies involve time,
substantial cost and risk. Our competitors may be able to deploy new technologies, such as those pertaining to
Plant and Machinery, before us and we cannot predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect
our operations or the competitiveness of our services. If we fail to successfully implement new technologies in a
timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
20. Our Promoters/Directors and Promoter Group Member have provided personal guarantees for loan
facilities obtained by our Company, and any failure or default by our Company to repay such loans in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the financing documents could trigger repayment obligations
on them, which may impact their ability to effectively service their obligations as our Promoters/Directors
and thereby, impact our business and operations.
Our Promoters/Directors and Promoter Group Member have extended personally guarantee towards loan
facilities taken by our Company. Any default or failure by us to repay the loans in a timely manner, or at all could
trigger repayment obligations of our guarantors in respect of such loans, which in turn, could have an impact on
their ability to effectively service their obligations as Promoters/Directors of our Company, thereby having an
effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. Furthermore, in the event that these
individuals withdraw or terminate their guarantees, our lenders for such facilities may ask for alternate
37
guarantees, repayment of amounts outstanding under such facilities, or even terminate such facilities. We may
not be successful in procuring guarantees satisfactory to the lenders, and as a result may need to repay outstanding
amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which could affect our financial condition and
cash flows.
21. We have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our part to
mobilize the required resources or any shortfall in the Issue proceeds may delay the implementation
schedule.
The proposed fund requirement for our Working Capital requirements, as detailed in the section titled "Objects
of the Issue" is to be funded from the proceeds of this IPO. We have not identified any alternate source of funding
and hence any failure or delay on our part to mobilize the required resources or any shortfall in the Issue proceeds
may delay the implementation schedule. We therefore, cannot assure that we would be able to execute our future
plans/strategy within the given timeframe. For details, please refer to the Chapter titled “Objects of the Issue”
beginning on page 80 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
22. Any Penalty or demand raised by statutory authorities in future will affect our financial position of the
Company.
Our Company is engaged in the logistics and transportation business which attracts tax liability such as Goods
and Service Tax, Income Tax, and Professional Tax as per the applicable provisions of Law. We are also required
to comply with the provisions such as registration under the labour laws like Provident Fund and ESI and are
also subjected to deposit of Provident Fund and ESI contribution of employer and employees. Although, we have
taken all the necessary approvals and deposited the required returns and taxes under various applicable Acts but
any demand or penalty raised by the concerned authority in future for any previous year and current year will
affect the financial position of the Company.
23. There are certain restrictive covenants in the agreements that our Company has entered into with Banks.
The loan agreements entered into by us with banks contain specific covenants which require us to obtain the prior
approval/ permission from the banks on the occurrence of certain events such as formulation of any scheme of
amalgamation or reconstruction, undertaking of any new project or expansion, making any substantial change in
our management set up, any change in our capital structure resulting in reduction of capital, etc. We are required
to obtain consent/approval from our lender before undertaking any such steps which have been mentioned in the
loan agreements. There can be no assurance that such consents will be granted or that we will be able to comply
with the financial covenants under our financing arrangements. In the event we breach any financial or other
covenants contained in any of our financing arrangements, we may be required under the terms of such financing
arrangements to immediately repay our borrowings either in whole or in part, together with any related costs.
This may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. For further details on the Cash Credit Limits
and other banking facilities, please see “Statement of Financial Indebtedness” on page 204 of the Red Herring
Prospectus.
24. Our success depends largely upon the services of our Directors, Promoters and other Key Managerial
Personnel and our ability to attract and retain them. Demand for Key Managerial Personnel in the industry
is intense and our inability to attract and retain Key Managerial, may affect the business and operations
of our Company.
Success of our Company is substantially dependent on the expertise and services of our Directors, Promoters and
our Key Managerial Personnel. They provide expertise which enables us to make well informed decisions in
relation to our business and our future prospects. Our Company’s future performance will depend upon the
continued services of these persons. Demand for Key Managerial Personnel in the industry is intense. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to retain any or all, or that our succession planning will help to replace, the key
members of our management. The loss of the services of such key members of our management team and the
failure of any succession plans to replace such key members could have an adverse effect on our business and
38
the results of our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain the services of our Directors,
Promoters and other Key Managerial Personnel in the future or that our inability to retain will not have any
adverse impact on our business operations.
25. The deployment of funds raised through this Issue shall not be subject to any Monitoring Agency and shall
be purely dependent on the discretion of the management of our Company.
Since the Issue is for an amount not exceeding ₹10,000 lakhs, in terms of SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company
is not required to appoint an Independent Monitoring Agency for overseeing the deployment of utilization of
funds raised through this Issue. The deployment of these funds raised through this Issue, is hence, at the discretion
of the management and the Board of Directors of our Company and will not be subject to monitoring by any
independent agency. Any inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds could adversely affect our
finances.
39
26. Significant increases in freight, transportation and other costs may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Significant increases in freight, transportation, and other operational costs could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Fluctuations in fuel prices,
changes in freight rates, and disruptions in supply chains can lead to higher shipping costs and delays,
impacting our cost structure and profitability. Regulatory changes, such as stricter safety and emissions
standards, may also impose additional compliance costs. If we are unable to pass these increased costs
onto customers due to competitive pressures or long-term contracts, our profit margins could be
squeezed. Additionally, rising costs can strain our cash flow, affect operational efficiency, and
necessitate costly adjustments to our logistics and supply chain strategies. Despite efforts to manage
and mitigate these risks, significant and sustained increases in these costs could have a severe impact
on our financial performance and overall business stability.
27. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash
flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants in our financing
arrangements.
We may retain all our future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result,
we may not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and
payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors that our Board
of Directors deem relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition, working capital
requirements, business prospects and any other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on
shareholders investments may largely depend upon the appreciation of the price of our Equity Shares. There can
be no assurance that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value. For details of our dividend history, see “Dividend
Policy” on page 188 of this red herring prospectus.
Relevant copies of the educational qualification of our Directors, Mr. Khalid Khan, Mr. Parbat Kumar Nandi,
Ms. Parbati Priya Nandi and Mr. Afaque Khan are not traceable. Therefore, for the purpose of disclosure
requirements of brief profile as disclosed in the section titled “Our Management” on page 157 of this Red Herring
Prospectus, we have relied on the affidavit provided by them.
29. We face competition from both domestic as well as international players and our inability to compete effectively may
have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
We face competition from competitors operating both within our domestic market and internationally. The
effectiveness of our competitive strategy will directly influence our ability to maintain and grow our market share,
revenue, and overall business performance. If we fail to compete effectively, whether due to challenges in pricing,
service quality, innovation, or other competitive factors. It could have a negative impact on our business
operations and financial results. Therefore, navigating this competitive landscape effectively is critical to our
long-term success and sustainability.
30. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of facts and other statistics with respect to India, the
Indian economy and industry in which we operate contained in the prospectus.
While facts and other statistics in the Red Herring Prospectus relating to India, the Indian economy and the
industry in which we operate has been based on various governmental and organizational web site data that we
believe are reliable, we cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of such materials. While we have taken
reasonable care in the reproduction of such information, industry facts and other statistics have not been prepared
40
or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and, therefore we make no
representation as to their accuracy or completeness. These facts and other statistics include the facts and statistics
included in the chapter titled “Industry Overview” beginning on page 101 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Due
to possibly flawed or ineffective data collection methods or discrepancies between published information and
market practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics
produced elsewhere and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, there is no assurance that they are stated or
compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.
31. Our inability to collect receivables and default in payment from our customers could result in the
reduction of our profits and affect our cash flows.
Our operations involve extending credit for extended periods of time to our customers, dealers, and
distributors in respect of our products, and consequently, we face the risk of non-receipt of these
outstanding amounts in a timely manner or at all, particularly in the absence of long-term arrangements
with customers, dealers and distributors. Our credit terms vary from 70 days to 90 days for our
customers, dealers, and distributors. While our customers typically provide us with letter of credits, we
cannot guarantee that our customers, dealers, and distributors will not default on their payments. Our
inability to collect receivables from our customers, dealers, and distributors in a timely manner or at all
in future, could adversely affect our working capital cycle and cash flows. In the Period ended
September 30, 2024 and in the Financial Year 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, our trade receivables
were ₹ 4,795.39 Lakhs, ₹4,453.64 Lakhs, ₹4,575.09 Lakhs and ₹4,507.86 Lakhs, respectively, which represented
34.76%, 21.05%, 22.56% and 23.89%,respectively, of our total income for such periods. If we are unable
to collect customer receivables or if the provisions for doubtful receivables are inadequate, it could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
32. Any negative cash flows in the future would adversely affect our cash flow requirements, which may
adversely affect our ability to operate our business and implement our growth plans, thereby affecting
our financial condition.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our cash flows basis for the periods
indicated. We may in the future experience negative operating cash flows.
(in Lakhs)
September March 31, March 31, March 31,
Particulars
30, 2024 2024 2023 2022
Net Cash from / (Used In) Operating Activities (248.12) 1,516.09 1,764.18 3,636.26

Net Increase / (Decrease) in Cash 967.59 20.55 (262.14) (23.60)
Negative cash flows over extended periods, or significant negative cash flows in the short term, could
materially impact our ability to operate our business and implement our growth plans. As a result, our
cash flows, business, future financial performance, and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected. For further information, please refer to the section titled ‘Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ beginning on page 193
of this Red Herring Prospectus.
33. We operate and have 1,124 permanent employees on our payroll, as on February 20, 2025. Our
manpower may contravene our policies or violate applicable laws or act negligently, which may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are highly dependent on our labour force to provide our customers with our supply chain solutions and
logistics services. As onFebruary 20, 2025, we had 1,124permanent. While we conduct training and compliance
41
programs to manage and monitor the activities of our manpower, there can be no assurance that our internal
control policies and procedures, including disclosure and cooperation with relevant governmental authorities,
will protect us from negligent, deliberate, reckless or inadvertent acts of our manpower that contravene our
policies or violate applicable laws.
34. Our applications for registration of our trademarks including (LOGO) under classes 39 is currently
pending in certain jurisdictions and as a result, we may be unable to adequately obtain, maintain, protect
and enforce our intellectual property rights. We may also be subject to intellectual property infringement
claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.
We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual provisions to protect our
proprietary rights. As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has filed for trademark
applications in various jurisdictions for which registration is pending. For instance, our applications for
registration of our trademarks under classes 39 is currently pending in certain jurisdictions. For further
information, see chapter titled “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” on page 207.
Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or
misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages.
Further, we cannot assure that any future patent, trademark, or service mark registrations will be issued for our
pending or future applications or that any of our current or future patents, copyrights, trademarks, or service
marks (whether registered or unregistered) will be valid, enforceable, or sufficiently broad in scope, or will
provide adequate protection of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or provide us with any
competitive advantage. Moreover, we may be unable to prevent competitors or other third parties from acquiring
or using trademarks, service marks, or other intellectual property or other proprietary rights that are similar to,
infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate or diminish the value of our trademarks and service
marks and our other intellectual property and proprietary rights. Effective intellectual property protection may
not be available in every country in which we operate and the protection of our intellectual property rights may
require the expenditure of significant financial, managerial and operational resources. While we have not faced
any instances of material losses or adverse impacts on our business and operations due to our intellectual property
rights being challenged or infringed, registrations not being granted or inability to prevent competitors from using
our intellectual property rights in the period ended September 30, 2024 and in Financial Year 2022, 2023 and
2024, there is no assurance that we will not face such instances in the future.
35. The Objects of the Issue for which funds are being raised have not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution.
The deployment of funds is entirely at the discretion of our management and as per the details mentioned in the
section titled "Objects of the Issue". Any revision in the estimates may require us to reschedule our expenditure
and may have a bearing on our expected revenues and earnings.
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for purposes identified in the section titled "Objects of the Issue"
beginning on page 80 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our funding requirements and the deployment of the
proceeds of the Issue are purely based on our management's estimates and have not been appraised by any bank
or financial institution. Our Company may have to revise such estimates from time to time on account of various
factors such as our financial and market condition, business and strategy, competition, variation in cost estimates
on account of factors and other external factors which may not be within the control of our management. Our
estimates may exceed the value and may require us to reschedule our expenditure which may have a bearing on
our expected revenues and earnings. Further, the deployment of the funds towards the Objects of the Issue is
entirely at the discretion of our management and our Board, subject to compliance with the necessary provisions
of the SEBI ICDR and Companies Act. However, the Board and Audit Committee will monitor the utilization
of the Net Proceeds and ensure the same is disclosed under separate head in our balance sheet along with relevant
details for all sum amounts that have not been utilized. Our Company will issue a disclosure to the Stock
Exchanges, on a quarterly basis, deviations, if any, in the Use of Proceeds of the Issue from the Objects stated
in the Red Herring Prospectus or by way of an explanatory statement to the notice for a general meeting.
42
36. The requirements of being a public listed company may strain our resources and impose additional
requirements.
With the increased scrutiny of the affairs of a public listed company by shareholders, regulators and the public
at large, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we were not
required to incur in the past. We will also be subject to the provisions of the listing agreements signed with the
Stock Exchange. In order to meet our financial control and disclosure obligations, significant resources and
management supervision will be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other
business concerns, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to satisfy our reporting obligations. In addition, we will need to increase the strength of our
management team and hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate public company experience
and accounting knowledge and we cannot assure that we will be able to do so in a timely manner. Failure of our
Company to meet the listing requirements of stock exchange, if any, could lead to imposition of penalties,
including suspension of trading in shares of the Company.
37. Changing regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.
The regulatory environment in which we, and our key customers, operate is evolving and is subject to change.
The Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations that could affect the logistics industry
or the sectors we serve, which could lead to new compliance requirements. New compliance requirements could
increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, the manner in which new requirements will be enforced or interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our
operations and could adversely affect our operations. Our business and financial performance could be adversely
affected by any unexpected or onerous requirements or regulations resulting from any changes in laws or
interpretation of existing laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations. Any such changes and
the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation or change in the legal framework may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
38. Demand for our services may decrease during an economic recession which may adversely affect our
profitability and financial condition.
The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic
recession, downturns in business cycles of our customers, fuel shortages, price increases by carriers, interest rate
fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control. Carriers can be expected to charge higher prices to
cover higher operating expenses, and our gross profits and income from operations may decrease if we are unable
to pass through to our customers the full amount of higher transportation costs. If economic recession or a
downturn in our customers’ business cycles causes a reduction in the volume of freight shipped by those
customers, our operating results could also be adversely affected.
43
39. The Indian tax regime is currently undergoing substantial changes which could adversely affect our
business.
The goods and service tax (“GST”) that has been implemented with effect from July 1, 2017 combines taxes and
levies by the GoI and state governments into a unified rate structure, and replaces indirect taxes on goods and
services such as central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, central sales tax, state VAT, cess and surcharge
and excise that were being collected by the GoI and state governments. As regards the General Anti-Avoidance
Rules (“GAAR”), The general anti avoidance rules (“GAAR”) provisions have been made effective from
assessment year 2018-19 onwards, i.e.; financial Year 2017-18. The GAAR provisions intend to declare an
arrangement as an “impermissible avoidance arrangement”, if the main purpose or one of the main purposes of
such arrangement is to obtain a tax benefit, and satisfies at least one of the following tests
(i) creates rights, or obligations, which are not ordinarily created between persons dealing at arm’s length;
(ii) results, directly or indirectly, in misuse, or abuse, of the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961; (iii) lacks
commercial substance or is deemed to lack commercial substance, in whole or in part; or
(iv) is entered into, or carried out, by means, or in a manner, that is not ordinarily engaged for bona fide purposes.
If GAAR provisions are invoked, the tax authorities will have wider powers, including denial of tax benefit or a
benefit under a tax treaty. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is
uncertain. As the taxation regime in India is undergoing a significant overhaul, its consequent effects on economy
cannot be determined at present and there can be no assurance that such effects would not adversely affect our
business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
40. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth
and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy
in which we operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our
services may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. The
Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the
economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates,
changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other
developments in or affecting India. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and
policies affecting the information technology sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment
in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies
could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations, in particular.
41. An outbreak of other infectious or virulent diseases, if uncontrolled, may have an adverse effect on our
operations.
An outbreak of other infectious or virulent diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, the COVID-19
virus, the H1N1 virus, avian influenza (bird flu), the Zika virus or the Ebola virus, if uncontrolled, may have a
material adverse effect on the economies of certain countries and our operations. If any of our employees or the
employees of our suppliers and/or customers are infected with such diseases or if a signification portion of our
workforce refuses to work for fear of contracting an infectious disease, our Company, our suppliers and/or our
customers may be required to shut down operations for a period of time, and this could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
42. Terrorist attacks or war or conflicts involving India or other countries could adversely affect consumer
and business sentiment and the financial markets and adversely affect our business.
44
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect global equity markets and economic
growth as well as the Indian economy and stock markets. Such acts negatively impact business and economic
sentiment, which could adversely affect our business and profitability. Also, India has from time to time
experienced, and continues to experience, social and civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries.
Armed conflicts could disrupt communications and adversely affect the Indian economy. Such events could also
create a perception that investments in Indian companies involve a high degree of risk. This, in turn, could have
a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian companies, including our Equity Shares. The
consequences of any armed conflicts are unpredictable and we therefore may not be able to foresee events that
could have an adverse effect on our business.
43. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs
and negatively affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts directly affect performance.
These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of governments,
inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, fluctuations in commodities
markets, consumer debt levels, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence,
spending and tourism. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater
degree of frequency and magnitude, which may negatively affect our stock prices.
44. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely affect our Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is in developing phase compared to that of many developed nations. Any
congestion or disruption in its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other
public facility could disrupt our Company’s normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical
infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, and add costs
to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt our Company’s business operations, which could have
an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
45. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise
financing.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms
at which such additional financing may be available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future
financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity
Shares.
46. Our business is manpower intensive. Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages,
increased wage demands by our employees, or increase in minimum wages across various states, and if
we are unable to engage new employees at commercially attractive terms.
Our business relies heavily on having enough workers, so it is manpower-intensive. This means that our success
depends a lot on our employees. However, this also puts us at risk for several issues that could affect our
operations. For instance, work stoppages due to strikes or other reasons can stop our work and lead to losses. If
our employees ask for higher wages or if minimum wage increases in different states, our costs could go up a lot.
This could affect our profits. Additionally, if we have trouble hiring new employees at reasonable wages, it could
impact our ability to keep up with demand. This would make it harder for us to grow and compete in the market.
It is important for us to manage these challenges with our workforce to keep our business stable and successful.
45
47. Our business is subject to a variety of safety, health and environmental laws, labour, and workplace
related laws and regulations. Any failure on our part to comply with these applicable laws and
regulations could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
We are subject to laws and government regulations, including in relation to safety, health, and labour. Our
business includes cargo handling, port operations, intra-port transportation, as well as the handling and
transportation of port import cargo. Any accident at our facilities may result in personal injury or loss of life,
environmental damage, substantial damage to or destruction of property affecting our business operations. Any
of such foregoing could subject us to legal proceedings, which could have an adverse impact on our
profitability in the event we were found liable and could also adversely affect our reputation.
We are also subject to the laws and regulations governing employees, including in relation to minimum wage
and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of employees, contract
labour and work permits. We have incurred and expect to continue incurring costs for compliance with such laws
and regulations. We have also made and expect to continue making capital expenditures on an on-going basis to
comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety and labour laws and regulations. These laws and
regulations have, however, become increasingly stringent and it is possible that they will become significantly
more stringent in the future. We cannot assure you that we will not be found to be in non-compliance with, or
remain in compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety and labour laws and regulations or the
terms and conditions of any consents or permits in the future or that such compliance will not result in a
curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production.
48. In the event there is any delay in the completion of the Issue, there would be a corresponding delay in
the completion of the objects / schedule of implementation of this Issue which would in turn affect our
revenues and results of operations.
The funds that we receive would be utilized for the objects of the Issue as has been stated in the section ‘Objects
of the Issue’ beginning on page 80 of this Red Herring Prospectus. The proposed schedule of implementation
of the objects of the Issue is based on our management’s estimates. If the schedule of implementation is delayed
for any other reason whatsoever, including any delay in the completion of the Issue, we may have to revise our
business, development and working capital plans resulting in unprecedented financial mismatch and this may
adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
49. Our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group will continue jointly to retain majority control over
our Company after the Issue, which will allow them to determine the outcome of matters submitted to
shareholders for approval.
Post this Issue, our Promoter and Promoter Group will collectively majority of our post-issue equity share
capital. As a result, our Promoter, together with the members of the Promoter Group, will continue to exercise
a significant degree of influence over the Company and will be able to control the outcome of any proposal
that can be approved by a majority shareholder vote, including, the election of members to our Board, in
accordance with the Companies Act, 2013 and our Articles of Association. Such a concentration of ownership
may also have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control of our Company.
In addition, our Promoter will continue to have the ability to cause us to take actions that are not in, or may
conflict with, our interests or the interests of some or all our creditors or other shareholders, and we cannot
assure you that such actions will not have an adverse effect on our future financial performance or the price of
our Equity Shares.
46
50. Industry information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from industry
reports. There can be no assurance that such third-party statistical, financial and other industry
information is either complete or accurate.
We have relied on the reports of certain independent third party for purposes of inclusion of such information
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These reports are subject to various limitations and based upon certain
assumptions that are subjective in nature. We have not independently verified data from such industry reports
and other sources. Although we believe that the data may be considered to be reliable, their accuracy,
completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed, and their dependability cannot be assured. While
we have taken reasonable care in the reproduction of the information, the information has not been prepared
or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and, therefore, we make no
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of such facts and statistics.
Due to possibly flawed or ineffective collection methods or discrepancies between published information and
market practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to
statistics produced for other economies and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, there is no assurance
that they are stated or compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy as may be the case
elsewhere. Statements from third parties that involve estimates are subject to change, and actual amounts may
differ materially from those included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
51. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses to which we may
be subject to, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business.
While we believe that we maintain insurance coverage in amounts consistent with industry norms. If any or all
our facilities are damaged in whole or in part and our operations are interrupted for a sustained period, there
can be no assurance that our insurance policies will be adequate to cover the losses that may be incurred as a
result of such interruption or the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged facilities. If we suffer a large
uninsured loss or any insured loss suffered by us significantly exceeds our insurance coverage, our business,
financial condition, and result of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
52. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholdings, and sale of the Equity Shares by
our major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Any future equity issuances by our Company may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our
Company. In addition, any sale of substantial Equity Shares in the public market after the completion of this
Issue, including by our major shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect
the market price of the Equity Shares, and could significantly impair our future ability to raise capital through
offerings of the Equity Shares.
We cannot predict what effect if any, market sales of the Equity Shares held by the major shareholders of our
Company or the availability of these Equity Shares for future sale will have on the market price of our Equity
Shares.
53. Our inability to effectively implement our business and growth strategy may have an adverse effect on
our operation and growth.
The success of our business will largely depend on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth
strategy. In the past we have generally been successful in execution of our business but there can be no
assurance that we will be able to execute our strategy on time and within the estimated budget in the future. If
we are unable to implement our business and growth strategy, this may have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
54. We could be harmed by employee misconduct or errors that are difficult to detect and any such incidences
could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
47
Employee misconduct or errors could expose us to business risks or losses, including regulatory sanctions and
serious harm to our reputation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter such
misconduct.
Moreover, the precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not be effective in all cases. Our
employees and agents may also commit errors that could subject us to claims and proceedings for alleged
negligence, as well as regulatory actions on account of which our business, financial condition, results of
operations and goodwill could be adversely affected.
55. Any material deviation in the utilisation of Proceeds of the Issue shall be subject to applicable law,
including prior approval of the shareholders of our Company.
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for raising funds for working capital Requirement and general corporate
purpose. For further details of the proposed objects of the Issue, please refer the chapter titled “Objects of the
Issue” beginning on page 80 of this Red Herring Prospectus. At this juncture, we cannot determine with any
certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising
out of the competitive environment, business conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our
control. In accordance with Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the
utilization of the Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus without obtaining the approval of
shareholders of our Company through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances that require
us to vary the disclosed utilization of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the approval of the
shareholders of our Company in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such approval
of the shareholders of our Company may adversely affect our business or operations. Further, our Promoter or
controlling shareholders would be required to provide an exit opportunity to the shareholders of our Company
who do not agree with our proposal to modify the objects of the Issue, at a price and manner as prescribed by
SEBI. Additionally, the requirement on Promoter or controlling shareholders to provide an exit opportunity to
such dissenting shareholders of our Company may deter the Promoters or controlling shareholders from
agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in the interest
of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that the Promoters or the controlling shareholders of our
Company will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit
opportunity. In light of these factors, we may not be able to vary the objects of the Issue to use any unutilized
proceeds of the Issue, if any, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. This may restrict our
Company’s ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the
unutilized portion of Net Proceeds, if any, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations
56. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws
and regulations, may adversely affect our business and financial performance
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by changes in law or interpretations of
existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations in India applicable to us and our business. For
further details please refer to the chapter “Government and Other Approvals” on page 207 for details of the laws
currently applicable to us. There can be no assurance that the central or the state governments in India may not
implement new regulations and policies which will require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the central
or the state governments in India and other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and conditions on
our operations. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of the new
regulations may have a material adverse effect on all our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we may have to incur capital expenditures to comply with the requirements of any new regulations,
which may also materially harm our results of operations. For instance, the Government has proposed a
comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”) regime that will combine taxes and levies by the Central
and state Governments into a unified rate structure. Given the limited availability of information in the public
domain concerning the GST, we are unable to provide any assurance as to the tax regime following
implementation of the GST. The implementation of this new structure may be affected by any disagreement
between certain state Governments, which could create uncertainty. Any such future amendments may affect our
overall tax efficiency, and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.
48
57. The requirements of being a public listed company may strain our resources and impose additional
requirements.
With the increased scrutiny of the affairs of a public listed company by shareholders, regulators and the public
at large, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not
incur in the past. We will also be subject to the provisions of the listing agreements signed with the Stock
Exchange. In order to meet our financial control and disclosure obligations, significant resources and
management supervision will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other
business concerns, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or readily determine and report any
changes to our results of operations in a timely manner as other listed companies. In addition, we will need to
increase the strength of our management team and hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate
public company experience and accounting knowledge, and we cannot assure that we will be able to do so in
a timely manner. Failure of our Company to meet the listing requirements of stock exchange could lead to
imposition of huge penalties, if any including suspension of trading, imposed by Stock Exchange.

Justification:
Our company's inventory consists of lubricants, spare parts, and other consumables for
plant and equipment.
Our inventory holding period was 166 days in FY 2021–2022; by FY 2022–2023,FY
2023–2024 and period ended September 30, 2024, it was 65 days 74 days and 70 days
Inventory respectively. This is a result of standardizing equipment, making regular & on-time
payments to vendors, implementing a self-developed system for inventory
management and procurement, etc.
In the future, Our Company aims to reach the 74 days holding period in FY 2024–2025

2024, the company's trade receivables were held for 88 days, 82 days, 77 days and 64
days respectively. The trend has decreased as a result of early compliances and
documentation completion for quicker customer realization.
For both FY 2024–2025 and FY 2025–2026, we anticipate that the trade receivables
holding period will be 77 days.
Our Company has maintained the holding period of trade payables at 26 days, 35 days
66 days and 34 days for FY 2021-22, FY2022-23, FY 2023-24 and period ended
September 30, 2024 respectively. The reason for increasing trend is delay in document
processing for payment release at Head Office Level. However, we are in the process
Creditors
of implementing an internal control system for early document processing and duly
payment to creditors.
We expected that the Creditor holding period will be flat 66 days for FY 2024-25 and
FY 2025-26.
Our Company’s other financial assets and other current assets include balance with
Other statutory authorities, prepaid expenses, advances to staff, and others. Our Company

78 days for FY 2021-22, FY 2022-23 FY 2023-24 and period ended September 30,

of inventories, systematic inventory management, release of Retention Money after
Working
completion of Work Order period (Minimum 1 year) and release of EMD/PBG
Capital
amount, which was paid at the time of bidding, after completion of contract period
(minimum 1 year to maximum 3 year).

SECTION V – ABOUT THE COMPANY
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The information in this section has been extracted from various websites and publicly available
documents from various industry sources. The data may have been re-classified by us for the
purpose of presentation. Neither we nor any other person connected with the Issue have
independently verified this information provided in this section. Industry sources and publications
generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from believed to be reliable,
but their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed, and their
reliability cannot be assured. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on
information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry
sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projection forecasts and
assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance
on information.
Economic activity was surprisingly resilient during the global disinflation of 2022–23. Growth in
employment and incomes has held steady as favorable demand and supply developments have
supported major economies, despite rising central bank interest rates aimed at restoring price
stability. As inflation converges toward target levels and central banks pivot toward policy easing,
a tightening of fiscal policies aimed at curbing high government debt levels, with higher taxes and
lower government spending, is expected to weigh on growth. The pace of expansion is also expected
to remain low by historical standards as a result of factors including the long-term consequences of
the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, weak growth in productivity, and
increasing geoeconomic fragmentation. As global inflation descended from its peak, economic
activity grew steadily, defying warnings of stagflation and global recession. During 2022 and 2023,
global real GDP rose by a cumulative 6.7 percent.
101
Interest Rates Restrictive, but Set to Fall
To counter rising inflation, major central banks have raised policy interest rates to levels estimated as
restrictive. As a result, mortgage costs have increased and credit availability is generally tight, resulting in
difficulties for firms refinancing their debt, rising corporate bankruptcies, and subdued business and
102
residential investment in several economies. The commercial real estate sector, including office markets, is
under especially strong pressure in some economies, with rising defaults and lower investment and
valuations, reflecting the combined effects of higher borrowing costs and the shift toward remote work since
the pandemic.
However, despite concerns, a global economic downturn caused by a sharp rise in policy rates has
not materialized, for several reasons. First, some central banks—including the European Central
Bank and the Federal Reserve—raised their nominal interest rates after inflation expectations started
to rise, resulting in lower real rates that initially supported economic activity (Figure 1.9).
The Bank of Japan has continued to keep policy rates near zero, resulting in a steady decline in real interest
rates. By contrast, the central banks of Brazil, Chile, and several other emerging market and developing
economies raised rates relatively quickly, resulting in earlier increases in real interest rates. Second,
households in major advanced economies were able to draw on substantial savings accumulated during the
pandemic to limit the impact of higher borrowing costs on their spending (Figure 1.10). 2 Third, as Chapter
2 explains, changes in mortgage and housing markets over the pre-pandemic decade of low interest rates
have limited the drag of the recent rise in policy rates on household consumption in several economies. The
average maturity and share of mortgages subject to fixed rates increased, moderating the near-term impact
of rate hikes. At the same time, there is substantial heterogeneity in the degree of the monetary policy pass-
through to mortgages and housing markets across countries.
103
Latest projections are for the global economy to continue growing at a similar pace as in 2023 during 2024–
25 and for global headline and core inflation to decline steadily. There is little change in the forecast for
global growth since the January 2024 WEO Update, with some adjustments for major economies (Tables 1.1
and 1.2),
including a further strengthening in the projection for the United States, offset by modest downward revisions
across several other economies. The forecast for global growth remains higher, however, than in the October
2023 WEO. The outlook for inflation is broadly similar to that in the October 2023 WEO, with a downward
revision for advanced economies, offset by an upward revision for emerging market and developing
economies. Medium-term prospects for growth in world output and trade remain the lowest in decades, with
the pace of convergence toward higher living standards slowing for middle- and lower-income countries.
Global growth, estimated at 3.2 percent in 2023, is projected to continue at the same pace in 2024 and 2025
(Table 1.1). The projection for 2024 is revised up by 0.1 percentage point from the January 2024 WEO
Update, and by 0.3 percentage point with respect to the October 2023 WEO forecast. Nevertheless, the
projection for global growth in 2024 and 2025 is below the historical (2000–19) annual average of 3.8
percent, reflecting restrictive monetary policies and withdrawal of fiscal support, as well as low underlying
productivity growth. Advanced economies are expected to see growth rise slightly, with the increase mainly
reflecting a recovery in the euro area from low growth in 2023, whereas emerging market and developing
economies are expected to experience stable growth through 2024 and 2025, with regional differences.

India’s GDP took a big leap on Leap Day in 2024: The country’s remarkable growth rate of 8.4% in the third
quarter of the financial year 20241 surpassed all expectations, as market analysts had penciled in a slower
growth this quarter, between 6.6% and 7.2%. Deloitte’s projected growth for the quarter was between 7.1%
and 7.4% (as published in January 2024). With substantial revisions to the data from the past three quarters
of the fiscal year, India’s GDP growth already touched 8.2% year over year (YoY) in these quarters.
104
The global economy is expected to witness a synchronous rebound in 2025 as major election uncertainties
are out of the way and central banks in the West likely announce a couple of rate cuts later in 2024. India
will likely see improved capital flows boosting private investment and a rebound in exports. Inflation
concerns remain, however, which we believe may ease only in the latter half of the next financial year barring
any surprises from rising oil or food prices.
By the expenditure-approach method, GDP growth in the third quarter was aided by a strong uptick in private
investment spending, which grew by 10.6% YoY. Investment growth remained above 8% YoY in the last
four quarters, which indicates that India is on the cusp of a strong boost to the private capital expenditure
cycle. High capital expenditure spending by the government over the past few years is now expected to
crowd in private investments.
On the other hand, private consumption improved to 3.5% YoY from the third quarter of financial year 2024.
The index of industrial production of consumer durables and improved passenger and two-wheeler sales
indicated a revival in private consumption over this period. Data from the past three quarters points to India’s
resilient domestic demand, which has aided its strong growth despite modest global growth and continuing
geopolitical crises.
From the production side, gross value added (GVA)3 grew 6.5% YoY, which was in line with market
expectations. Robust growth in manufacturing (11.6% YoY) and construction activities (9.5% YoY), along
with a steady positive performance in services (7% YoY) kept economic activity strong. The contraction of
0.8% YoY in agriculture, however, weighed on the economy, with the sector contracting for the first time
since 2019, which was partly expected as temporal rains impacted kharif crop production.
The gap between the two measures of economic growth has led to confusion around the momentum of Indian
economic activity.
While there is a wide gap between GDP (growing at 8.4%) and GVA (growing at 6.5%), this is not the first
time that GVA growth has fallen far below GDP growth (figure 1). Over the past decade, there have been
four other times when the difference between the two growth indicators has been over one percentage point.
This quarter, improved net taxes together with a sharp contraction in agriculture led to this variation.
The actual concern that arises from this gap is that the demand side (measured by the expenditure-approach
method) is growing faster than the supply side (denoted by the production approach). Thus, the signs point
105
toward the fact that there could be excessive demand for too few goods. At the same time, poor agricultural
output is likely to keep food supplies low, all of which could translate to higher inflation in the coming
quarters.

Service Industry
The reforms of the 1990s have been associated with the expansion of the service sector in India. Midway
through the 1980s, the service sector began to expand, but it took off in the 1990s when India started a series
of economic reforms in response to a serious balance of payments issue.
The service sector has over 50% contribution to India’s GDP, and it had witnessed a growth of 9.1% in 2022-
23. Out of 8.12 million jobs in FY23, service sector companies in IT, banking, and finance accounted for
almost half of the new jobs generated. The share of the services sector accounted for 57% of the total GVA
in FY24 (April-September) as per advance estimates. The services category ranked first in FDI inflows, as
per data released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
India is a unique emerging market in the globe due to its unique skills and competitive advantage created by
knowledge-based services. The Indian services industry, which is supported by numerous government
initiatives like smart Cities, clean India, and digital India is fostering an environment that is strengthening
the services sector. The sector has the potential to open up a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity that might
stimulate symbiotic growth for all nations. Service providers in India continued to signal positive demand
trends in June, which underpinned a stronger increase in new business volumes and further job creation.
In December 2023, services exports grew by 1.3% to US$ 31.6 billion, driven by software, business, and
travel services. While Imports declined by 1.2%, resulting in a record high net earnings of US$ 16.0 billion.
During October-December 2023, India experienced a 5.1% YoY to US$ 87.7 billion with a trade surplus of
US$ 44.9 billion, growth in services exports, driven by software, business, and travel services.

106
Recent Investments/ Developments
Some of the investments/ developments in the services sector in the recent past are as follows:
• The Indian services sector was the largest recipient of FDI inflows worth US$ 108 billion between April
2000-December 2023.
• According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the service sector received US$ 5.1 billion in FDI
equity inflows in FY24 (April-December).
• According to RBI’s Scheduled Banks’ Statement, deposits of all scheduled banks collectively surged by
a whopping ₹ 1.75 lakh crore (US$ 2,110.87 billion) as of December 1st, 2023.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India recognises the importance of promoting growth in the services sector and provides
several incentives across a wide variety of sectors like health care, tourism, education, engineering,
communications, transportation, information technology, banking, finance, and management among others.
• Centre has formulated an ‘Action Plan for Champion Sectors in Services’ to give focused attention to 12
identified Champion Services Sectors.
• Under the Union Budget 2021-22, the government allocated ₹ 7,000 crore (US$ 963.97 million) to the
BharatNet programme to boost digital connectivity across India.
• On Independence Day 2020, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi announced the National Digital Health
Mission (NDHM) to provide a unique health ID to every Indian and revolutionise the healthcare industry
by making it easily accessible to everyone in the country. The policy draft is under ‘public consultation’
until September 21, 2020.
Road Ahead
Both domestic and global factors influence the growth of the services sector. An extensive range of service
industries has experienced double-digit growth in recent years, supported by digital technologies and
institutional frameworks made possible by the government. The ease of doing business in India has
significantly increased for domestic and foreign firms due to considerable advancements in culture and the
government outlook. Due to ongoing changes in the areas of lowering trade barriers, easing FDI regulations,
and deregulation, India's services sector is poised to grow at a healthy rate in the coming years. Over the next
10 years, the National Digital Health Blueprint can unlock the incremental economic value of over US$ 200
billion for the healthcare industry in India.
India’s digital economy is estimated to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2025. By the end of 2023, India’s IT and
business services sector is expected to reach US$ 14.3 billion with 8% growth. The implementation of the
Goods and Services Tax (GST) has created a common national market and reduced the overall tax burden
on goods. It is expected to reduce costs in the long run on account of the availability of GST input credit,
which will result in a reduction in the prices of services. India's software service industry is expected to reach
US$ 1 trillion by 2030.

Indian Ports.
According to the Ministry of Shipping, around 95% of India's trading by volume and 70% by value is done
through maritime transport. In November 2020, the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi renamed the
Ministry of Shipping as the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
India has 12 major and 200+ notified minor and intermediate ports. Under the National Perspective Plan for
Sagarmala, six new mega ports will be developed in the country. The Indian ports and shipping industry play
107
a vital role in sustaining growth in the country’s trade and commerce. India is the sixteenth-largest maritime
country in the world with a coastline of 7,516.6 kms. The Indian Government plays an important role in
supporting the ports sector. It has allowed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of up to 100% under the
automatic route for port and harbour construction and maintenance projects. It has also facilitated a 10-year
tax holiday to enterprises that develop, maintain, and operate ports, inland waterways, and inland ports.

Waterways to promote port-led development in the country through harnessing India’s 7,500 km long
coastline, 14,500 km of potentially navigable waterways and strategic location on key international maritime
trade routes.
• In December 2021, India and Russia are talking about collaborating on shipbuilding and inland waterways.
• The Inland Vessels Bill 2021 was approved by the Lok Sabha in July 2021. Instead of distinct regulations
created by the states, the bill attempts to include a single legislation for the country. The registration
certificate issued under the new law will be valid throughout the country and state approvals will not be
necessary. The bill also establishes a single database for recording vessel and crew information on an Internet
portal.
Road Ahead
108
Increasing investment and cargo traffic point towards a healthy outlook for the Indian ports sector. Providers
of services such as operation and maintenance (O&M), pilotage and harbouring and marine assets such as
barges and dredgers are benefiting from these investments.
The capacity addition at ports is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5-6% till 2022, thereby adding 275-325 MT
of capacity.
Domestic waterways have found to be a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable mode of freight
transportation. The government aims to operationalise 23 waterways by 2030.
As part of the Sagarmala project, more than 574 projects worth US$ 82 billion (₹ 6 lakh crore) have been
planned for implementation between 2015 and 2035.
On October 17, 2023, the Global Maritime India Summit (GMIS) achieved ₹ 10 lakh crores (US$ 120.60
billion) of investment within three days of its unveiling, with 360 MoUs valued at ₹ 8.35 lakh crores (US$
100.7 billion) and additional investible projects worth ₹ 1.68 lakh crores (US$ 20.26 billion) announced.

Traffic
Total India's cargo traffic handled by 12 major ports is on the rise and has reached 393.732 MMT in the first
half of FY 2023-24, exhibiting growth of 2.35% year on year, according to latest figures released by the
Indian Ports Association.
Paradip Port has emerged numero uno by clocking 69.137 MMT cargo throughput in the current fiscal. The
Port, first time in the history, clocked highest ever cargo handling among Major Ports, during H1 (first half)
of any financial year. Besides, it has exhibited 8.5% of incremental growth over the same period in the
previous fiscal, which happens to be highest among all the Major Ports. Iron ore including Pellets handled
by PPA has shown the highest incremental growth of 45.56% so far. This is to be noted that since FY 2016-
17, PPA has consistently occupied 2nd position in half yearly cargo handling figures of various fiscals. For
the first time, drifting away from the trend, PPA has secured the 1st position by achieving the highest cargo
traffic.

Transport and logistics refer to the procedures involved in the manufacture, storage, inventory, delivery, and
distribution of specific commodities or services. The logistics sector in India was predicted to account for
14.4% of GDP in 2022. It is the primary source of income for more than 22 million people. The overall
logistics sector in India includes 37 export promotion councils, 40 Participating Government Agencies
(PGAs), 20 government agencies, 10,000 goods, and 500 certifications. Between the financial years 2015-
16 to 2019-20, India invested approximately US$ 10.2 trillion in the development of infrastructure. The
freight movement in India is significantly prejudiced towards road transportation, which transports 66% of
goods (in ton-kilometres). This is followed by rail (31%), shipping (3%), and air (1%). To facilitate cargo
transportation, India has a vast network of support infrastructure, including 129+ inland container depots,
168+ container goods stations, and 300 m sq. ft. of warehouse capacity. The logistics sector in India can be
divided into the following
categories:
1. Transportation
• Surface Transportation
The surface transport sector is anticipated to experience the fastest growth in India's infrastructure sector,
with a CAGR of more than 8% in 2020. Additionally, the trucking sector is very unorganised and fragmented.
Less than five trucks make up the fleet of 70% of the truck owners in the industry. Through different asset
monetisation techniques and funding through Special Purpose Vehicles, the Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways (MoRTH) is working to reach a target of over ₹ 40,000 crore (US$ 4.80 billion) for the current
financial year (2023-24). The road network in India has risen from 62.15 lakh km in FY21 to 63.73 lakh km
by January 2023. The transportation sector can be further divided into the following categories:
110
o Full Truck Load (FTL)
The FTL market contributes significantly to the Transportation sector. The FTL market was anticipated to
be around US$ 120 billion in 2021. It is expected to increase at a rate of 7-8% in the upcoming years (2022
onwards).
o Express
While India has less than 2% of the global express business, it has one of the fastest-growing express
industries. The Indian Express market is fragmented, and there are reportedly 1,000 active players. The
domestic express market is dominated by approximately 15 large competitors. The remaining players range
in size from small to medium-sized enterprises. The sector was expected to grow at a CAGR of around 15%
by 2020, reaching US$ 5.5 billion.
• Railways
India has the world’s fourth-largest rail network and accounts for the second highest percentage of goods
moved in terms of volume. From April to September 2023, a total freight loading of 758.20 million tonnes
(MT) was obtained, compared to a loading of 736.68 MT the previous year, representing a rise of around
21.52 MT. During September 2023, Indian Railways loaded 59.70 MT of coal, 14.29 MT of iron ore, 5.78
MT of pig iron and finished steel, 6.25 MT of cement (excluding clinker), 4.89 MT of clinker, 4.54 MT of
foodgrains, 4.23 MT of fertiliser, 4.0 MT of mineral oil, 7.28 MT of containers, and 10.10 MT of rest of all
other goods. The average speed of freight trains on the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) will more than
double with the inauguration of DFC. In 2021, India pledged to invest ₹ 3 lakh crore (US$ 36.04 billion) in
the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) to build dedicated rail tracks and related infrastructure for the transit
of goods trains.

• Waterways
India has a 7,500 km (4,660 miles) coastline that is encircled by the sea on three sides. India has 200
minor/intermediate ports and 12 big ports, which together, account for 65% of the country's total value and
95% of its volume of trade. The Indian coast offers a huge opportunity for the movement of cargo. By 2025,
total cargo movement is estimated to exceed 250 MTPA. Commodities including petroleum, oil, lubricants,
building supplies, and dry bulk cargo like cereal grains, fertiliser, steel, coal, and minerals are ideal for coastal
transportation. On December 15th, 2021, the Government of India (GoI) pledged to ₹ 3-3.5 lakh crore (US$
38-44 billion) across ports, shipping, and in-land waterways under the Maritime India Vision (MIV), which
111
would help unleash ₹ 20,000 crore (US$ 2.40 billion) in potential annual revenue for Indian ports. Indian
Government plans to replace diesel with electricity for at least half of the vehicles and equipment needed by
the major ports by 2030 and to increase that number to 90% by 2047. The shipping ministry wants ports to
build at least one liquified natural gas (LNG) bunkering station by 2030 and electric vehicle charging
facilities near port areas by 2025 to decrease the usage of petrol. Moreover, the major ports collectively
handled a record-breaking 795 million tonnes of cargo in 2022-23, registering a 10.4% growth over the
previous year.
2. Warehousing Industry
A warehouse is an essential component of corporate infrastructure and one of the primary enablers in the
global supply chain. the Indian warehousing market is predicted to reach ₹ 2,872.10 billion (US$ 34.50
billion), expanding at a CAGR of 15.64% from 2022 to 2027. With increased demand and supply throughout
the years, the Indian warehousing industry is gaining traction. The key players are third-party logistics (third-
party logistics) and e-commerce enterprises, which are growing into tier 2 and 3 cities and eventually
increasing their proportion of secondary marketplaces. With a market share of more than 60%, 3PL and e-
commerce are the largest lessors of storage space. To assist this expansion, the government is building
multimodal logistic parks and other projects that connect urban transit to railways, attracting investments
from institutional funds and developers.
• Custom clearing
Customs clearance is a time-consuming and difficult process that necessitates much documentation and
coordination. However, many established businesses and startups nowadays are utilising technological
platforms to streamline this process. Customs automation has aided the industry and made operations more
efficient.
• Freight Forwarding
Freight forwarding is the business of organising shipments for individuals or corporations to move
commodities from the manufacturer to an international buyer. The freight forwarder serves as a liaison
between the liner and the shipper. A freight forwarder streamlines the procedure and provides the customer
with an estimated price rate after adding his margin.
• Logistics Packaging
Packaging is an essential component of the overall supply chain. Proper packaging services are essential for
businesses before the goods are delivered to the customer.
Key Trends
112
2. Embracing digital ecosystems
• Ecosystem collaboration
Collaboration among technology providers, logistical service providers, and customers backing innovation,
knowledge sharing, and the acceleration of digital transformation. Collaborative ecosystems offer seamless
integration, streamline processes, and provide greater consumer experiences.
4. Technological innovation
Road Ahead
The uneven distribution of modes of transport has resulted in low operational efficiency, causing the GOI to
launch a number of logistics-specific programmes, including GatiShakti and the National Logistics Policy.
These initiatives seek to improve India's logistics sector by making it more environmentally friendly, agile,
transparent, and integrated. The logistics management regimen is capable of overcoming infrastructural
disadvantages in the short term while providing cutting-edge competitiveness in the long term. Physical
transporters that execute their business processes manually and offline can use various technologies such as
AI, Big data, and IoT to improve their service and compete in an international market by delivering real-time
and end-to-end connections.
To realise the full potential of the sector, stakeholders such as service providers, customers, and the
government of India must work and complement one another. The sector is experiencing significant
infrastructural expansion, a stronger emphasis on digitalization, and a larger emphasis on sustainable
113
logistics. The launch of numerous start-ups, as well as the Government's digital initiatives such as "Make in
India," Unified Logistics Platform (ULIP), and others, are assisting in bringing greater transparency to the
logistics sector. The digitization of work processes to enable paperless processing of paperwork and
clearances, as well as improved shipment tracking, aids in increasing the pace of goods movement and
lowering logistics costs.

Warehouse Receipts (NWRs) issued by the warehouses registered under this Act would help the farmers to
seek loans from banks against NWRs and will avoid distress sale of agricultural produce. It will also be

trade, commodities exchange as well as consumers.
The WDRA is in infant stage and has to be given continued financial support during the 12th Five Year Plan,
as it does not have any source of revenue except the nominal registration fee for registration of warehouses
and registration of accreditation agencies.
The Planning Commission has accepted and included the scheme of Assistance of WDRA along with other

object to institute compulsory provident fund for the benefit of employees in factories and other
establishments. The EPFA provides for the institution of provident funds and pension funds for employees
in establishments where more than 20 persons are employed and factories specified in Schedule I of the
EPFA. Under the EPFA, the Central Government has framed the "Employees Provident Fund Scheme",

GENERAL LAWS
The Indian Contract Act, 1872 codifies the way in which a contract may be entered into, executed,
implementation of the provisions of a contract and effects of breach of a contract. A person is free to contract
on any terms he chooses. The Contract Act consists of limiting factors subject to which contract may be
entered into, executed and breach enforced. It provides a framework of rules and regulations that govern
formation and performance of contract.
The Specific Relief Act, 1963 is complimentary to the provisions of the Contract Act and the Transfer of
Property Act, as the Act applies both to movable property and immovable property. The Act applies in cases
where the Court can order specific performance of a contract. Specific relief can be granted only for purpose
of enforcing individual civil rights and not for the mere purpose of enforcing a civil law. “Specific
performance” means Court will order the party to perform his part of agreement, instead of imposing on him
any monetary liability to pay damages to other party.
The Act deals with laws relating to companies and certain other associations. The Companies Act primarily
regulates the formation, financing, functioning and winding up of companies. The Act prescribes regulatory
mechanism regarding all relevant aspects including organizational, financial and managerial aspects of
companies. Regulation of the financial and management aspects constitutes the main focus of the Act. In the
functioning of the corporate sector, although freedom of companies is important, protection of the investors
and shareholders, on whose funds they flourish, is equally important. The Companies Act plays the balancing
role between the set of competing factors, namely, management autonomy and investor protection.
146
Competition Act, 2002
The Competition Act, 2002 ("Competition Act") aims to prevent anti-competitive practices that cause or are
likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India. The Competition
Act regulates anticompetitive agreements, abuse of dominant position and combinations. The Competition
Commission of India which became operational from May 20, 2009 has been established under the
Competition Act to deal with inquiries relating to anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominant
position and regulate combinations. The Competition Act also provides that the Competition Commission
has the jurisdiction to inquire into and pass orders in relation to an anti- competitive agreement, abuse of
dominant position or a combination, which even though entered into, arising or taking place outside India or
signed between one or more non-Indian parties, but causes an appreciable adverse effect in the relevant
market in India.
The Consumer Protection Act ("COPRA") aims at providing better protection to the interests of consumers
and for that purpose makes provisions for the establishment of authorities for the settlement of consumer
disputes. The COPRA provides a mechanism for the consumer to file a complaint against a trader or service
provider in cases of unfair trade practices, restrictive trade practices, defects in goods, deficiency in services;
price charged being unlawful and goods being hazardous to life and safety when used. The COPRA provided
for a three-tier consumer grievance redressal mechanism at the national, state and district levels.
The Transfer of Property Act, 1882 ("TP Act") as amended, establishes the general principles relating to
transfer of property in India. It forms a basis for identifying the categories of property that are capable of
being transferred, the persons competent to transfer property, the validity of restrictions and conditions
imposed on the transfer and the creation of contingencies and vested interest in the property. It also provides
for the rights and liabilities of the vendor and purchaser in a transaction of sale of land.
The Registration Act, 1908, as amended, has been enacted with the objective of providing public notice of
the execution of documents affecting, inter alia, the transfer of interest in immovable property. The purpose
of the Registration Act is the conservation of evidence, assurances, title and publication of documents and
prevention of fraud. It details the formalities for registering an instrument. Section 17 of the Registration Act
identifies documents for which registration is compulsory to bring the transaction to effect and includes,
among other things, any non-testamentary instrument which purports or operates to create, declare, assign,
limit or extinguish, whether in present or in future, any right, title or interest, whether vested or contingent,
in any immovable property of the value of one hundred rupees or more, and a lease of immovable property
for any term exceeding one year or reserving a yearly rent.
Under the Indian Stamp Act, ("Stamp Act")1899, as amended stamp duty is payable on instruments
evidencing a transfer or creation or extinguishment of any right, title or interest in immovable property.
Stamp duty must be paid on all instruments specified under the Stamp Act at the rates specified in the
schedules to the Stamp Act. The applicable rates for stamp duty on instruments chargeable with duty vary
from State to State.
147
The provisions of shops and establishments legislations, as may be applicable in a state in which
establishments are set up, regulate the conditions of work and employment and generally prescribe
obligations in respect of inter alia registration, opening and closing hours, daily and weekly working hours,
holidays, leave, health and safety measures and wages for overtime work. Our Company has its registered
office in the state of Chhattisgarh. Accordingly, the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Shops and Establishments
Act, 1958are applicable to our Company. The Chhattisgarh Shops and Establishments Act, 1958, as
amended, regulates the conditions of work in shops, commercial establishments, restaurants, theatres and
other establishments in Chhattisgarh and makes provisions for the opening and closing of shops, daily and
weekly hours of work, employment of children and young persons, health and safety measures, wages etc.
This Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Arbitration Act”) was enacted by the Parliament to consolidate
and amend the law relating to domestic arbitration, international commercial arbitration and enforcement of
foreign arbitral awards and also to define the law relating to conciliation and for matters connected therewith
or incidental thereto. The main objectives of the Arbitration Act is to comprehensively domestic arbitration
and conciliation; to make provision for an arbitral procedure which is fair, efficient and capable of meeting
the needs of the specific arbitration; to provide that the arbitral tribunal gives reasons for its arbitral award;
to ensure that the arbitral tribunal remains within the limits of its jurisdiction; to minimize the supervisory
role of courts in the arbitral process; to permit an arbitral tribunal to use mediation, conciliation or other
procedures during the arbitral proceedings; to encourage settlement of disputes; to provide that every final
arbitral award is enforced in the same manner as if it was a decree of the court; to provide that a settlement
agreement reached by the parties as a result of conciliation proceedings will have the same status and effect
as an arbitral award on agreed terms on the substance of the dispute rendered by an arbitral tribunal; and to
provide for enforcement of foreign awards.
The Sale of Goods Act, 1930 (“Sale of Goods Act”) governs the contracts relating to sale of goods.
The contracts for sale of goods are subject to the general principles of the law relating to contracts.
The Sale of Goods Act is complimentary to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and the unrepealed
provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, save in so far as they are inconsistent with the express
provisions of the Sale of Good Act, continue to apply to contracts for the sale of goods. A contract
of sale may be an absolute one or based on certain conditions. The Sale of Goods Act contains
provisions in relation to the essential aspects of such contracts, including the transfer of ownership
of the goods, delivery of goods, rights and duties of the buyer and seller, remedies for breach of
contract and the conditions and warranties implied under a contract for sale of goods.
ENVIRONMENT LAWS
The dominant theme of this policy is that while conservation of environmental resources is
necessary to secure livelihoods and well-being of all, the most secure basis for conservation is to
ensure that people dependent on particular resources obtain better livelihoods from the fact of
conservation, than from degradation of the resource.

Annexure IV- Significant accounting policies
Notes forming part of the Restated Financial Statement as at 30th September 2024
(c) Inventories
Raw Materials, Stores & Spare parts and Packing Material are valued at cost. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of
inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is
determined on First in First Out Basis
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the
terms of the contract, the Company retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with ownership and no significant
uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. Sales are recognized net of trade discounts,
rebates and Goods and Service Tax.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the performance of agreed contractual task has been completed.
Interest income is recognized on accrual basis on balance outstanding as at end of financial year.
F/ 4
(g) Intangible Assets
An intangible asset is recognised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise
and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase or its completion recognised as an
intanglble asset it is probable that the expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard
of performance and the expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably.
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. An intangible asset is derecognised
(eliminated from the balance sheet) on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal. The depreciable
amount of an intangible asset is allocated on a systematic basis over the best estimate of its useful life.
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The company has capitalized all costs relating to
acquisition and installation of intangible fixed assets.
(k) Investment
Investments are classified as long term investments and current investments. The carrying amount for current investments is the lower of cost and fair
value.For current investments, any reduction to fair value and any reversals of such reductions are included in the profit and loss statement.Long-term
investments are usually carried at cost. Any decline, other than temporary, in the value of a long term investment, the carrying amount is reduced to
recognise the decline. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds, net of expenses, is recognised
in the profit and loss statement.
Gratuity and Leave encashment are defined benefit plan payable at the end of the employment and is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation at
each year-end using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain and loss for defined benefit plan is recognized in full in the period in which it occur
in the statement of profit and loss.
Defined contribution plans are those plans in which the company pays fixed contribution into separate entities and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further amounts. Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance are Defined Contribution Plans in which company pays a fixed
contribution and will have no further obligation beyond the monthly contributions and are recognised as an expenses in Statement of Profit & Loss.
F/ 5
Reportable Segments
A business segment or geographical segment should be identified as a reportable segment if
(a) its revenue from sales to external customers and from transactions with other segments is 10 per cent or more of the total revenue, external and
internal, of all segments; or
(b) its segment result, whether profit or loss, is 10 per cent or more of :
(i) the combined result of all segments in profit, or
(ii) the combined result of all segments in loss,
(iii) its segment assets are 10 per cent or more of the total assets of all segments.
F/ 6
(o) Earning per share
Basic Earning Per Share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit after tax during the year and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The accounting treatment for the Income Tax in respect of the Company‟s income is based on the Accounting Standard on Accounting for Taxes on
Income‟ (AS-22). The provision made for Income Tax in Accounts comprises both, the current tax and deferred tax. Provision for Current Tax is made on
the assessable Income Tax rate applicable to the relevant assessment year after considering various deductions available under the Income Tax Act, 1961
Deferred tax is recognized for all timing differences; being the differences between the taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period
and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Such deferred tax is quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively
enacted as on the Balance Sheet date. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset/liability is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and consequential
adjustments are carried out.
Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal
income tax during the specified period. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.
The Management periodically assesses, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. An impairment
loss is recognized wherever the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of the asset's net selling price
and value in use, which means the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. An
impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was
recognized. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had
no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. However, there is no such kind of Fixed Asset in the company which require impairment.

MANAGEMENT’s DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with
our restated financial statements included in the Red Herring Prospectus. You should also read the section
entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 30, which discusses several factors, risks and contingencies that
could affect our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion relates to our
Company and is based on our restated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
Indian GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI Regulations. Portions of the following discussion are also
based on internally prepared statistical information and on other sources. Our financial year ends on March

which, is included in this Red Herring Prospectus under the section titled “Restated Financial Statements”

statements to US GAAP or IFRS and we have not otherwise quantified or identified the impact of the
differences between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP or IFRS as applied to our restated financial statements.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects our current views with respect to future
events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those described under “Risk Factors” and
“Forward Looking Statements” beginning on pages 30 and 18 respectively, and elsewhere in this Red

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Our Company was incorporated as Paradeep Parivahan Private Limited under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 vide certificate of incorporation dated November 17, 2000 issued by Registrar of
Companies, Orissa. Subsequently, our Company was converted into a Public Limited Company pursuant to
shareholders resolution passed at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting of the Company held on March 06,
2024 and the name of our Company was changed from “Paradeep Parivahan Private Limited” to “Paradeep
Parivahan Limited” vide a fresh Certificate of Incorporation dated June 03, 2024 having CIN
U63090OR2000PLC006379 issued by the Registrar of Companies, Central Processing Centre.
We set up operations with the aim to deliver top-notch services to our customers, specializing in various
aspects such as cargo handling, port operations, intra-port transportation, as well as the handling and
transportation of port import cargo. Additionally, we excel in in-plant shifting of bulk raw materials and
hazardous cargo, railway siding operations, crusher operations, special attention cargo handling, earthwork,
and more. Our operations are structured to ensure efficiency and safety while meeting the diverse needs of
our clients across a wide range of services.
Paradeep Parivahan Limited is located within Paradip Port and specializes primarily in logistics. We have
established ourselves as excavators, cargo handlers, service providers, and importers and exporters of bulk
cargo within ports. We boast a significant fleet of our own equipment, including Volvo V loaders introduced
as early as 1989 in Paradip. At that time, the logistics sector in the city was sluggish due to limited capacity.
However, by 2000, the capacity had increased tenfold. We introduced advanced tools and mechanisms in
193
Paradip Port to enhance productivity significantly. This enhancement in productivity directly translates into
cost savings for importers and exporters, as we streamline operations and reduce overheads through our
specialized equipment and expertise.
As per mutual discussion between the Board of the Company and BRLM, in the opinion of the Board of the
Company there have not arisen any circumstances since the date of the last financial statements as disclosed

• The Board of Directors of our Company has approved and passed resolution on June 05, 2024 to
authorize the Board of Directors to raise the funds by way of Initial Public Offering.
Our business is subjected to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled
“Risk Factor” beginning on page 30 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our results of operations and financial
conditions are affected by numerous factors including the following:
• Changes, if any, in the regulations / regulatory framework / economic policies in India and / or in foreign
countries, which affect national & international finance.
• Company’s results of operations and financial performance;
• Performance of Company’s competitors;
• Significant developments in India ‘s economic and fiscal policies;
• Failure to adapt to the changing needs of industry and in particular government policies and regulations
may adversely affect our business and financial condition;

Jhuma Mukherjee, Smt Barnali Mukerjee, Khalid Khan, RNM Infra Private Limited
(Respondents) vide case no OA/68/2023
208
Mr. Khalid Khan, a current director of Paradeep Parivahan served as a director of RNM Infra Private Limited
(the “RNM Infra”) for a brief duration i.e. from September 07, 2019, till February 20, 2020. RNM Infra had
availed a loan of an amount of ₹ 1000.00 Lakhs which was registered with MCA vide Charge ID 100139948
and was then modified to ₹ 750.00 Lakhs on September 06, 2019. RNM Infra then subsequently defaulted
in repayment of the said loan, upon which legal action was initiated before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (the
“DRT”) in Kolkata under O.A. No. 68 of 2023, against 5 active Defendants and One Proforma Defendant
(RNM Infra Private Limited – Currently under Liquidation) for an amount involving ₹ 907.00 Lakhs
on June 06, 2023. One of the Defendants, in this case, is Mr. Khalid Khan. During this above-mentioned
period of his directorship, as per the official records, no new loan was availed nor any existing loan was
modified, and neither was any default made with respect to said loan by RNM Infra. It is pertinent to note
that during the time the loan was obtained and when the default occurred in both instances Mr. Khan was
not the director, this makes Mr. Khan not liable nor obligated under any provision of any respective
applicable laws of the land.
As per the legal procedure, pursuant to the hearing of the case held on June 6, 2023, the Tribunal directed all
the Defendants to the case to file a written statement within four weeks from the receipt of the Original
Application from the registry, additionally granting interim relief to the petitioner in terms of disposition of
properties by the defendants in the mentioned case.
In compliance with the court's orders, Mr. Khan filed a Written Statement asserting that he lacked any legal
position or authority in RNM Infra during the period when the alleged loan modifications occurred. He
contends that his involvement in the matter has been unduly prolonged despite his non-liability.
Mr. Khan also took additional measures in terms of email communication stating his non-liability and his
innocence under O.A. No. 68 of 2023 before the Debt Recovery Tribunal.
Vide the order of the Hon’ble Tribunal dated February 01, 2024, the petitioner was asked to produce
secondary evidence on affidavits on certain documents as stated in the petition filed by the petitioner. The
Petitioner failed to produce such documents before the Hon’ble Tribunal till the subsequent hearing date of
i.e. July 23, 2024.
Hon’ble Tribunal since July 23, 2024 on various occasion of events of dates of hearing including date i.e
November 13, 2024 and further last hearing held on February 18, 2025, have directed Applicant Bank to
Comply with the Order dated July 23, 2024,

Infra Dredge Services Private Limited (under CIRP) (hereinafter referred to as “IDSPL”) for a brief period
from October 1, 2009, to February 2, 2011. During his tenure, the IDSPL secured a loan of ₹ 56.50 crores
from the State Bank of India (SBI) in March 2010. As part of the loan arrangement, personal guarantees from
the Directors, including Mr. Khalid Khan, were provided.
Mr. Khalid Khan resigned from his directorship on February 2, 2011. Up until his resignation, the Company
had consistently met its loan obligations to SBI. Although Mr. Khalid Khan's resignation was communicated
to the bank, his personal guarantee was inadvertently not released due to an oversight.
Subsequently, IDSPL experienced financial difficulties, leading to default on its loan repayments and the
initiation of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) proceedings against the Company.
On October 19, 2020, SBI issued a notice invoking Mr. Khalid Khan's personal guarantee, requesting
justification for why he should not be classified as a willful defaulter according to Reserve Bank of India
209
(RBI) guidelines. Mr. Khalid Khan proactively addressed the situation by submitting detailed representations
to clarify that he was not a Director at the time of the default.
Mr. Khalid Khan proposed a settlement of ₹ 100 lakhs on February 8, 2022, and subsequently increased the
offer to ₹ 250 lakhs. The bank did not accept the proposed settlements. On September 19, 2022, SBI (via
email) revised the settlement amount to ₹ 365 lakhs. Mr. Khalid Khan agreed to this amount & requested to
freeze it and, on September 28, 2022, deposited ₹ 54.75 lakhs, representing 15% of the total settlement
amount.
The matter is currently pending with The Chief General Manager, SAMB-1 Cuffe Parade, Colaba Mumbai
(SBI), and there has been no further communication from the bank following the payment.

SEBI has issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of equity shares
and convertibles. Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, UPI will be introduced in a phased manner as a payment
mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under
the ASBA) for applications by RIIs through intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time
duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working Days to up to three Working Days.
Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and
smooth transition to the UPI Mechanism, the UPI Circulars proposes to introduce and implement the UPI
Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
a. Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 01, 2019 and lasted till June 30, 2019. Under this
phase, a Retail Individual applicant, besides the modes of Bidding available prior to the UPI
Circulars, also had the option to submit the Bid cum Application Form with any of the intermediary
and use his / her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue
closure to listing continued to be six Working Days.
249
b. Phase II: This phase commenced on completion of Phase I i.e. with effect from July 01, 2019 and
was to be continued for a period of three months or launch of five main board public issues,
whichever is later. Further, as per the SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated
November 8, 2019, the UPI Phase II has been extended until March 31, 2020. Further still, as per
SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020, the current Phase II of
Unified Payments Interface with Application Supported by Blocked Amount be continued till
further notice. Under this phase, submission of the Application Form by a Retail Individual
Applicant through intermediaries to SCSBs for blocking of funds will be discontinued and will be
replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing
would continue to be six Working Days during this phase.
c. Phase III: The commencement period of Phase III is notified pursuant to SEBI press release
bearing number 12/2023 and as per the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140
dated August 09, 2023, where the revised timeline of T+3 days shall be made applicable in two
phases i.e. (i) voluntary for all public issues opening on or after September 01, 2023; and (ii)
mandatory on or after December 01, 2023. In this phase, the time duration from public issue closure
to listing has been reduced to three Working Days. The Issue shall be undertaken pursuant to the
processes and procedures as notified in the T+3 Notification as applicable, subject to any circulars,
clarification or notification issued by the SEBI from time to time, including any circular,
clarification or notification which may be issued by SEBI.
All SCSBs offering the facility of making applications in public issues are required to provide a facility to
make applications using the UPI Mechanism. Further, in accordance with the UPI Circulars, our
Company has appointed Axis Bank Limited as the Sponsor Bank to act as a conduit between the Stock
Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or payment instructions of the
Retail Individual Investors into the UPI mechanism.
Pursuant to the UPI Circular, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances
for applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circular
include, appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the
requirement for SCSBsto send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement
for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications, and the requirement
for the bank accounts of unsuccessful Bidders to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on
which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result
in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the
redressal of investors’ complaints in this regard, the relevant SCSB as well as the post – Issue BRLM
will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
SEBI through its circular (SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2022/45) dated April 05, 2022, has prescribed
that all individual investors applying in initial public offerings opening on or after May 01, 2022, where
the application amount is up to ₹ 5,00,000, shall use UPI. Individual investors bidding under the Non-
Institutional Portion bidding for more than ₹ 200,000 and up to ₹ 5,00,000, using the UPI Mechanism,
shall provide their UPI ID in the Bid-cum-Application Form for Bidding through Syndicate, sub-
syndicate members, Registered Brokers, RTAs or CDPs, or online using the facility of linked online
trading, demat and bank account (3 in 1 type accounts), provided by certain brokers.
The processing fees for applications made by Retail Individual Bidders using the UPI Mechanism may
