Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Operational Growth and Cost Efficiency DBL is adding 3.9 MTPA of grinding capacity and increasing clinker and renewable energy capacities, which will enhance cost efficiency. Despite temporary declines, EBITDA per tonne is expected to stabilize around ₹900 in FY25, aided by cost optimization and strong demand.

Eastern Market Strength DBL dominates the fast-growing east and northeast markets while expanding into central India, ensuring effective absorption of new capacity.

Strong Financial Risk Profile Healthy operating performance has improved financial leverage, with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.88x in FY24. DBL’s ₹1,788 crore investment in IEX provides liquidity support, complemented by financial flexibility from its subsidiaries.

Weaknesses

Moderate Return on Capital High capital expenditure and depreciation expenses from capacity expansions have suppressed returns on capital. Improvements are expected post-completion of current projects.

Volatility Risks Profitability is exposed to cyclical industry trends, fluctuating input costs (e.g., coal, pet coke), and regional demand-supply dynamics, making margins vulnerable to price changes.

FAQs – Buying Unlisted Shares

What are unlisted shares?+

Unlisted shares are stocks of companies that are not listed on any stock exchange like NSE or BSE. They are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market through dealers, brokers, and private transactions.

How is the price of an unlisted share decided?+

Unlike listed shares, there’s no central marketplace or live order book. Prices are based on demand and supply, dealer quotes, and recent transaction trends. This leads to price fragmentation — different dealers can quote very different prices for the same stock.

Why should I compare prices before buying?+

Because the same share can be available at a 5–20% price difference depending on the dealer. Not comparing means you could be paying a premium for no reason — directly impacting your returns.

Is buying unlisted shares risky?+

Yes, like any investment, unlisted shares carry risks — including liquidity risk (harder to sell), company performance risk, and price transparency issues. Comparing prices helps reduce one avoidable risk — overpaying.

How can I know if the price I’m getting is fair?+

You can check recent transaction prices, ask multiple dealers, and soon — use our price comparison platform to instantly see live market quotes.

What documents are required to buy unlisted shares?+

Typically: PAN Card Demat Account details KYC documents (address proof, ID proof)

How do I sell unlisted shares?+

You can sell them via a dealer, private buyer, or once the company gets listed on a stock exchange. Having access to multiple dealer quotes helps you get the best selling price.

Can dealers lose business if they don’t offer the best price?+

Absolutely. If an investor finds a better price elsewhere, they’ll switch — often for good. That’s why transparent pricing protects both investors and dealers.

How soon will I receive the shares after purchase?+

Usually within T+2 to T+7 days after payment and documentation, depending on the dealer and the company’s transfer process.

Do I need to be an accredited investor to buy unlisted shares?+

No, but you must meet the regulatory requirements under SEBI guidelines and have a valid Demat account.
