Let's take a look at some of the key risks listed by the company in its Red-Herring Prospectus (RHP):
- The Indian two-wheeler automobile industry is responsible for a sizeable amount (more than 80%) of the company's operating revenue in each of the last three fiscal years, which ended on June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023. Any unfavourable changes in the two-wheeler automotive industry could have a negative effect on the company's operations, financial situation, and business outcomes.
- Over 80% of the company's operating revenue in the last three fiscal years, which ended on June 30, 2022, June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, may be attributed to the Indian two-wheeler automotive industry. The business, operational outcomes, and financial situation could all be negatively impacted by any unfavourable changes in the two-wheeler automotive industry.
- The availability and cost of their raw materials, including aluminium, are crucial to their operations and profitability. Any disruption to the timely and sufficient supply of raw materials, or volatility in raw material prices, could have a negative effect on their operations, financial situation, and business.
- The business does not have any exclusive agreements or definite obligations to supply any of its suppliers; instead, it depends on third parties to provide raw materials. The business, operational outcomes, and financial situation could all suffer from the loss of suppliers.
- The company's business, financial situation, cash flows, and operational results could suffer if their growth initiatives are not implemented successfully, especially if it comes to gaining market share in the rapidly changing electric car industry.
- The availability of fake goods and their disregard for the confidentiality of their technical know-how could negatively impact the company's operations and financial performance.
- The business's operations, financial status, and performance could be negatively impacted by product liability and other civil claims and expenses resulting from product recalls.
- On the grounds of the Industrial Development Corporation are a few of the company's manufacturing sites. Relocating their activities could have a negative effect on the company's operations, finances, and business if they are unable to comply with the terms of use of the land or to extend the leases already in place for these manufacturing facilities.
- The company is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates, which could negatively impact both the value of the equity shares and the operating performance independent of each other.
- The company has grown recently, but it might not be able to maintain or properly manage this growth. Due to the company's large debt load, their business and financial standing may suffer if they are unable to fulfil the repayment obligations and other terms of their financing arrangements.
