Weaknesses

Moderate Scale of Operations: Revenue stood at ₹175 crore in FY24, indicating relatively small scale compared to peers.
High Customer Concentration Risk: Nearly 80% of revenues from the railway sector, primarily from Integral Coach Factory, exposes the company to sector-specific risks.
Profitability Susceptible to Input Cost Volatility: Operates in a competitive, L1-based bidding environment with limited pricing flexibility. Absence of price pass-through mechanisms exposes margins to fluctuations in raw material prices.
