Risk Factors

  • The company requires significant amount of working capital for continued growth. As on Sept. 30, the firm had a total sanctioned limit of Rs 79.90 crore towards working capital loan facilities.

  • If the company is unable to respond to changes in demands and market trends and expand its product offering in a diversified manner, it may have an impact of the business and its financials.

  • The company does not currently have exclusive or fixed supply arrangements with any of its gold suppliers. It is significantly dependent on a few suppliers. It procures majority of raw material (gold) from its top 10 suppliers. In the six months period ended Sept. 30, 58.37% of the total raw material needs relating to gold came from the top 10 suppliers.
