Weaknesses

Raw Material Risks: HEIL faces exposure to fluctuating prices of steel (engineering) and natural gas (chemicals), with limited pricing power for IR contracts and fixed-price private orders. Operating margins, while improving to 9.7% in H1 FY24, remain sensitive to cost variations.
Regulatory Constraints: The jute industry is regulated by government policies like minimum support prices (MSP), impacting end-product pricing and profitability.
Working Capital Intensity: HEIL’s operations are working capital-heavy, with gross current assets of ~190 days as of March 2023. However, back-to-back supplier contracts and healthy accruals mitigate liquidity risks.
