see section titled “Risk Factors” and chapter titled “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 41, 167 and 335,
respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially
different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could
materially differ from those that have been estimated and are not a guarantee of future performance.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are
reasonable, we cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee
of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of our Company as on the date of this Red
Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on
the management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information.
Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward- looking statements are based are
reasonable, any of these assumptions as well as statements based on them could prove to be
inaccurate. Neither our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, the BRLM, nor any of their respective
affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances
arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying
assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with regulatory requirements, our Company will ensure that investors in India are
informed of material developments from the date of registration of this Red Herring Prospectus with
the RoC until receipt of final listing and trading approvals by the Stock Exchanges for this Issue.

1. Inadequate or interrupted supply and price fluctuation of packaging materials could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, profitability and financial condition.
Our company engages in the distribution of various plastic-based products such as Biaxially
Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film, Polyester Films, Cast Polypropylene (CPP) films, Plastic
granules, Inks, Adhesives, Masterbatches, Ethyl Acedate, and Titanium Dioxide. We offer
customized bulk packaging solutions to business-to-business (B2B) manufacturers in a variety of
industries.
The quantity and cost of our products are dependent on our ability to source those products and
packaging materials at acceptable prices and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of the same.
The products we use are subject to price volatility and unavailability caused by external
conditions, such as commodity price fluctuations within India and globally, weather conditions,
supply & demand dynamics, logistics, our bargaining power with the suppliers, inflation and
governmental regulations and policies.
We generally pass on the cost escalations to our customers, however, we may not be able to pass
on every instance of escalation in input costs and may have to pursue internal cost control
measures or may have to absorb in some instances. If we are not able to effectively pass on our
escalated costs to customers, such price escalations could have a material adverse impact on the
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
2. We are highly dependent upon a limited number of suppliers. 76.32%, 80.74% and 74.79% of
our Total Purchases are derived from our top 5 suppliers for the period ended on September 30,
2023, and for the Fiscal Years ended on March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
We source our products requirement indigenously or through imports. Purchases made from our
largest supplier, top 5 suppliers and top 10 suppliers for the period ended on September 30, 2023,
and for the Fiscals Years 2023, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

While we may find additional suppliers to supply these products, any failure of our suppliers to
deliver these products in the necessary quantities or to adhere to delivery schedules, credit terms
or specified quality standards and technical specifications may adversely affect our business and
our ability to deliver orders on time and at the desired level of quality.
As a result, we may lose customers which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations. Further our product supply and pricing may become
volatile due to several factors beyond our control, including global demand and supply, general
economic and political conditions, transportation and labour unrest, natural disasters,
competition, import duties, tariffs and currency exchange rates, and there are inherent
uncertainties in estimating such variables, regardless of the methodologies and assumptions that
we may use. Therefore, we cannot assure that we will be able to procure adequate supplies of
our products in the future, as and when we need them on commercially acceptable terms.
Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage relationships with
our existing or new suppliers or that we will be able to enter into arrangements with new
suppliers at attractive terms or at all. If we fail to successfully leverage our existing and new
relationships with suppliers, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.
3. We have entered into Del Credere Associate (DCA) Agreement and Del Credere Associate
Operated Polymers Warehouse (DOPW) Agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (“IOCL”).
Termination or non-renewal of the Agreement or any material modification to the existing
terms under such agreement adverse to our interest will materially and adversely affect our
ability to continue our business and operations and our future financial performance.
We have entered into long-term agreements for plastic/ polymer granules mainly HDPE, LLDPE,
PP as Del-credere Agent of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). We have first entered into an
agreement with IOCL as DCA and DOPW operator in year 2017 which has been lastly renewed on
June 26, 2023, whereby we have been appointed as Del Credere Associates for prompt payments
to IOCL against sale of products by IOCL to its customers. Pursuant to the said arrangements, we
have also been granted the right to market and sell to customers on behalf of IOCL with the
objective inter alia, of receiving and storing the products. Pursuant to the agreement, we are
entitled to receive commission on any such sales made through us, however in case of default on
payment by such parties, IOCL has the right to recover the amount from us with interest for
overdue period.
Further, any suspension, restriction or termination of the agreement by IOCL could adversely
affect our operating results and financial condition. In the event IOCL exercises their right to
terminate the agreement whether on the occurrence of any event mentioned in the Agreement
or otherwise, or, on expiry of the term of the agreement, or in the event that they are unwilling
to renew the agreement or impose terms which are less favorable to us than existing terms, it
may materially and adversely affect our business operations and our future financial
performance.

4. Our Company requires significant amounts of working capital and 82.11%, 82.05%, 90.51% and
90.42% of our current assets comprises of trade receivables and inventories for the period ended
on September 30, 2023, and for the Fiscal Year ended on March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Our
inability to meet our working capital requirements including failure to realize receivables and
inventories may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and overall business.
Our business requires significant working capital, such as financing the purchase of our products,
and payments for operating expenses before we receive payment from our customers. In
addition, the actual amount of our future capital requirements may differ from estimates as a
result, among other factors, cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes,
economic conditions, additional market developments and new opportunities in the industry. A
significant portion of our working capital is consumed in trade receivables and inventories.
Summary of our working capital position is given below:

Pursuant to the certificate dated February 05, 2024, issued by our statutory auditor M/s. Keyur Shah &
Associates, chartered accountants.
We have to maintain adequate inventories of our products to meet our day-to-day requirements
and avoid situations like stock outs. The result of our operations depends upon our ability to
manage our inventories. To effectively manage our inventory, we must be able to accurately
estimate customer demand and supply requirements and trade inventory accordingly. If our
management misjudges expected customer demand, it could adversely impact the results by
causing either a shortage of products or an accumulation of excess inventory. Further, if we fail
to sell the inventory, we may be required to write-down our inventory or pay our suppliers
without new purchases, or create additional vendor financing, which could have an adverse
impact on our income and cash flows, liquidity and overall business.
We intend to continue to grow our business operations by expanding capacities of our existing
products and introducing new products. The Objects of the Issue include, amongst others,
funding the working capital requirement of our business. In order to sell new products, we might
have to maintain a higher level of inventories and may also have to offer liberal credit terms to
our customers to establish the demand and market for the newer / wider range of products. This
Page 44 of 472
may result in further increase in the quantum of working capital particularly trade receivables
and inventories. Our inability to maintain sufficient cash flows, realize existing inventories & trade
receivables, maintain credit facility and other sources of fund, in a timely manner, or at all, to
meet the increasing requirement of working capital may have significant adverse effect on our
financial condition and result of our operations. For further details, please refer to the chapter
titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 113.
Our products are used mainly by companies who require packaging materials for FMCG, chemical,
Food Products, Textiles, Pesticides, Fertilizers, Ceramics, etc. Our business is affected by changes
in technology, consumer preferences, market perception of brand, attractiveness, convenience,
safety and environmental norms. Our ability to anticipate such changes and to continuously
develop and introduce new and enhanced products successfully on a timely basis will be a key
factor in our growth and business prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
keep pace with the technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive.
Further, any substantial change in preference of consumers who are end users of our products
will affect our customers’ businesses and, in turn, will affect the demand for our products. Any
failure to forecast and/or meet the changing demands of packaging businesses and consumer
preferences may have an adverse effect on our business, profitability and growth prospects.
6. We derive a portion of our revenue from certain customers, and the loss of one or more such
customers, the deterioration of their financial condition or prospects, or a reduction in their
demand for our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
We are dependent on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues.
Revenues generated from sales to our top 10 customers was Rs. 2,058.28 lakhs, Rs. 5881.51 lakhs,
Rs. 6281.10 lakhs and Rs. 3806.64 lakhs which represented 37.45%, 37.45 %, 36.73 % and 37.23
% of our revenue from operations for the period ended on September 30, 2023, and during the
Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 respectively. However, the composition and revenue
generated from these clients might change as we continue to add new customers in normal
course of business. While we have developed valued relationships with certain of our customers
in the normal course of business, there can be no assurance that our customers in the past or our
newly acquired customers will continue to place similar orders with us in the future. The loss of
one or more of these significant customers or a significant decrease in business from any such
key customer, whether due to circumstances specific to such customer or adverse market
conditions affecting the industry in which our customer operates or the economic environment,
may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our reliance on a select group of customers may also constrain our ability to negotiate our
arrangements, which may have an impact on our profit margins and financial performance. The
deterioration of the financial condition or business prospects of these customers could reduce
their requirement for our products and result in a significant decrease in the revenues we derive
from these customers. The loss of one or more of our significant customers or a reduction in the
amount of business we obtain from them could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
7. Our Group Companies Purv Films Private limited, Apex Flexipack Private Limited, Millenium
Plastipack Private Limited, Purv Ecoplast Private limited, Purv Packaging Private limited and
our Subsidiary Company Cool Caps Industries Limited, is carrying on business activities similar
Page 45 of 472
to our business. This may be a potential source of conflict of interest for us and which may have
an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.
We, our Promoter and our Promoter Group entities are a part of the Purv Group and our
Company and some of our Promoter Group entities, Purv Films Private limited, Apex Flexipack
Private Limited, Millenium Plastipack Private Limited, Purv Ecoplast Private limited, Purv
Packaging Private limited and Cool Caps Industries Limited have common pursuits, i.e. carrying
on business activities similar to our business. We have no agreements with our Promoter or any
other Group entities that restricts us or them from offering similar products and services. As a
result, our relationship with our Promoter and other entities forming a part of the Purv Group
may cause certain conflicts of interest and we may compete with one or more of our Promoter
Group entities while undertaking our businesses in the future. We may also compete with our
Promoter Group entities for the services of our business partners and other suppliers.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete with such Promoter Group
entities, if and when such conflict arises. Further, our relationship with Promoter and our
Promoter Group entities may effectively prevent us from taking advantage of certain business
opportunities. For instance, Purv Group may, select a Promoter Group entity instead of us to
pursue certain business opportunities that arise within the Purv Group. If we forego certain
business opportunities because of our relationship with our Promoter or the Promoter Group, it
could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
8. There is an increased awareness towards controlling pollution and many economies including
India have joined in the efforts to ban plastic product. In case any plastic packaging products
traded by us are banned in India, it could have a material and adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.
Plastic takes many years to decompose and is very dangerous for living beings. Many countries
around the world are finding alternatives to the use of plastic products. In this regard,
Government has enacted Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 for recycling of plastic products
and introduced the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Our Company cannot be assured that future measures will not have a negative impact on our
business. If the Government of India legislates against the use of plastic products or if regulations
for the traders and use of our packaging products are made more stringent, it could have a
material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
9. There are pending litigations against our company, our Promoters, our Directors and our Group
Companies and any adverse decision in these proceedings may render us/them liable to
liabilities/penalties and may adversely affect our business, result of operations and financial
conditions.
Our Company, our Promoters, our Directors and our Group Companies are involved in certain
legal proceedings at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and appellate
authorities. In the event of adverse rulings in these proceedings or consequent levy of penalties
by other statutory authorities, our Company, Promoters, Directors and Group Companies may
need to make payments or make provisions for future payments, which may increase expenses
and current or contingent liabilities and also adversely affect our reputation.
In the ordinary course of business, our Company, Promoters, our directors and our Group
Companies are involved in certain legal proceedings, which are pending at varying levels of
adjudication at different forums. The summary of outstanding matters set out below includes
details of civil proceedings, criminal proceedings, tax proceedings, statutory and regulatory
Page 46 of 472
actions and other material pending litigation involving our company, directors, promoters and
group companies of our Company.
According to the materiality policy, any outstanding litigation, other than criminal proceedings,
statutory or regulatory actions and taxation matters, is considered material if the monetary
amount of claim by or against the entity or person in any such pending matter is in excess of Rs.
5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakh only) or if an adverse outcome of any such litigation could materially
and adversely affect our business, prospects, operations, financial position or reputation.
We cannot assure that any of the legal proceedings described below will be decided in favor of
the company, Promoters, Directors or our Group Companies respectively. Further the amounts
claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable, excluding
contingent liabilities and include amounts claimed jointly and severally. Should any new

in our respective financial statements, which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and reputation. We may incur significant expenses and management time in such legal
proceedings. Decision in any such proceedings adverse to our interests may have adverse effect

2018, entitling them to receive the disputed rent of Rs. 11,18,576, along with costs associated with the award
amounting to Rs. 3,00,000, totaling to Rs 14,18,576 from our Group Company, Airborne Technologies Private Limited.
Bengal Investment Limited filed the petition no. M. Ex-06/2019 with the Learned Civil Judge Senior Division, Howrah
on January 25, 2019, under Order 21, Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, to invoke execution proceedings
against our Group Company, Airborne Technologies Private Limited for the said arbitral award. On January 21, 2022,
Bengal Investment Limited filed an interlocutory application within the main application seeking attachment of
movable and immovable property owned by our Group Company, Airborne Technologies Private Limited. An order for
execution of the attachment was obtained on May 6, 2022. However, the immovable properties subject to the
execution proceedings in M. Ex. 06/2019 were already transferred to our other Group Company, Purv Films Private
Limited on October 20th, 2020, and registered on February 25, 2021.
Page 48 of 472

20, 2024.
For detailed information please refer to page 367 under Chapter titled “Outstanding Litigation
and Material developments”.
10. We have not entered into any long-term or definitive agreements with all our customers. If our
customers choose not to source their requirements from us, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We have not entered into any long-term or definitive agreements with our customers and instead
rely on purchase orders to govern the volume, pricing and other terms of sales of our products.
However, such orders may be amended or cancelled prior to finalization, and such an amend
mentor cancellation take place, we may be unable to seek compensation for any surplus
unpurchased products that we manufacture. Our customers do not, typically, place firm purchase
orders until a short time before the products are required from us as a result of which, we do not
hold a significant order book at any time, making it difficult for us to forecast revenue, production
or sales. Consequently, there is no commitment on the part of the customer to continue to source
their requirements from us, and as a result, our sales from period to period may fluctuate
significantly as a result of changes in our customers’ vendor preferences.
Additionally, our customers have standards for product quantity and quality as well as delivery
schedules. Any failure to meet our customers’ expectations could result in the cancellation of
orders. There are also a number of factors other than our performance that are beyond our
control and that could cause the loss of a customer. Customers may demand price reductions,
set-off any payment obligations, require indemnification for themselves or their affiliates, change
their outsourcing strategy by moving more work in-house, or replace their existing products with
alternative products, any of which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
11. Failure to manage our inventory could have an adverse effect on our net sales, profitability,
cash flow and liquidity.
The results of operations of our business are dependent on our ability to effectively manage our
inventory and stocks. To effectively manage our inventory, we must be able to accurately
estimate customer demand and supply requirements and trade inventory accordingly. If our
management has misjudged expected customer demand it could adversely impact on the results
by causing either a shortage of products or an accumulation of excess inventory. Further, if we
fail to sell the inventory, we may be required to write down our inventory or pay our suppliers
without new purchases, or create additional vendor financing, which could have an adverse
impact on our income and cash flows. We estimate our sales based on the forecast, demand and
requirements and also on the customer specifications. Natural disasters such as earthquakes,
extreme climatic or weather conditions such as floods or droughts may adversely impact the
supply of our products and local transportation. Should our supply of products be disrupted, we
may not be able to procure an alternate source of supply in time to meet the demands of our
customers. Such a disruption to supply would materially and adversely affect our business,
profitability and reputation. In addition, disruptions to the delivery of product to our customer
may occur for reasons such as poor handling, transportation bottlenecks, or labour strikes, which
Page 49 of 472
could lead to delayed or lost deliveries or damaged products and disrupt supply of these products.
To improve our line capability, we try to stock our inventory at our facility. An optimal level of
inventory is important to our business as it allows us to respond to customer demand effectively.
If we overstock inventory, our capital requirements will increase and we will incur additional
financing costs. If we understock inventory, our ability to meet customer demand and our
operating results may be adversely affected. Any mismatch between our planning and actual
consumer consumption could lead to potential excess inventory or out-of-stock situations, either
of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operation.
12. Our Company and its subsidiaries have availed unsecured loans from promoter, directors and
group entities, which may be recalled on demand.
For the period ended on September 30, 2023, and for the financial year ending March 31, 2023,
March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, our Company and subsidiary companies have outstanding
unsecured loans as under:
(Rs. in Lakhs)
S. September 30, March 31, March 31, March 31,
Name of Company
No. 2023 2023 2022 2021

Cool Caps Industries Limited (including
2 390.50 426.76 10.00 94.24
its subsidiaries)
These loans are not repayable in accordance with any agreed repayment schedule and may be
recalled by the relevant lender at any time. In such cases, our Company may be required to repay
the entirety of the unsecured loans together with accrued interest. Our Company may not be
able to generate sufficient funds at short notice to be able to repay such loans and may resort to
refinancing such loans at a higher rate of interest and on terms not favorable to it. Failure to
repay unsecured loans in a timely manner may have a material adverse effect on our business,
cash flows and financial condition. For further details of unsecured loans of our Company, please
refer the chapter titled “Financial Statements as Restated” beginning on page 238.
13. We are required to maintain certain licenses, approvals, registrations, consents and permits in
the ordinary course of business. Failure to obtain the requisite approvals result in non-
compliance and therefore, affect our business operations, financial condition, result of
operations and prospects.
We require a number of licenses, approvals, registrations, consents and permits to operate our
business in India. As we expand our operations and enter new markets, we may not be familiar
with local regulations and may need to incur additional costs to ensure regulatory compliance. In
addition, we may need to apply for approvals, including the renewal of approvals which may
expire, from time to time, as and when required in the ordinary course of business.
Our material subsidiary company Cool Caps Industries Limited yet to apply for Registration under
the Assam Shops and Establishments Act, 1971 as a Commercial Establishment for the address -
Patta no 46, Paschim Banbhag, Jabjabkuchi, Barajol, Dag no 161, Ghograpar, Nalbari, Assam.
If we are unable to obtain such approvals and permits, our business, results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. If we fail to obtain, maintain or renew
such licenses, approvals, registrations, and permits in a timely manner, it may result in
interruption of our business operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. While we have obtained key approvals required for
our business, we have also applied for, and are awaiting grant/ renewal of certain key approvals.
Page 50 of 472
Furthermore, government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, including
adherence to emission standards and regular monitoring and compliance requirements, some of
which are onerous and require us to incur substantial expenditure. We may incur substantial
costs, including clean up and/or remediation costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, as a result
of violations of or liabilities under environmental or health and safety laws, which may have a
material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We cannot assure you that
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits issued to us would not be suspended or revoked in
the event of non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory
action. Any failure to renew the approvals that have expired or apply for, obtain and validly
maintain the required licenses, approvals, registrations or permits, or any suspension or
revocation of any approvals, licenses, registrations and permits that have been or may be issued
to us, may materially and adversely affect our operations. For further details, please see the
section entitled “Government and Statutory Approvals” on page 373 for more details, including
such approvals for which applications are pending before relevant authorities.
14. We are not directly subject to quality requirements however any product defect issues or failure
by the manufacturer to comply with quality standards may lead to the cancellation of existing
and future orders placed to us, recalls and exposure to potential product liability claims.
We face a business risk of losing potential customers due to product defects by the brands and
manufacturers whose products we supply. The subsequent liability claims, if the use of any of the
products offered by us results in personal injury or property damage. Our suppliers may not be
able to meet regulatory and quality standards in India, or the quality standards imposed by our
customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
If any of the products offered by us do not meet regulatory standards or are defective, we may
be, inter alia, (i) responsible at the instance for damages relating to any defective products, or (ii)
required to replace, recall or redesign such products.
The failure by us or any of our suppliers to achieve or maintain compliance with regulatory
requirements or quality standards may disrupt our ability to supply products sufficient to meet
demand until compliance is achieved or, until a new supplier has been identified and evaluated.
The quality of products will have an impact on our company and in turn affect our brand image,
business and revenue. There is no assurance that the products we supply will always meet the
satisfaction of our customers’ quality standards. There can be no assurance that if we need to
engage new suppliers to satisfy our business requirement, we will be able locate new suppliers in
compliance with regulatory requirements in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to do so could lead
to the cancellation of existing and future orders and have a material adverse effect on our
business and revenue.
15. Ability to expand the customer base and develop new products and generate new sales.
Customer relationships are the core of our business. Our ability to grow our customer base and
drive market adoption of our products is affected by the pace at which the demand of our
products grows. We expect that our revenue growth will be primarily driven by the pace of
adoption of our offerings. This will drive our ability to acquire new customers and increase sales
to existing customers, which in turn, will affect our future financial performance.
We have grown our operations by introducing quality products to meet the potential
requirements of our customers and create market for our products. To service and grow our
relationships with our existing customers and to win new customers, we are required to provide
them with products that address their quality and other requirements, to anticipate and
Page 51 of 472
understand trends in their relevant markets and to continually address their needs as those
change and evolve.
Our future growth shall depend on our ability to identify emerging market trends, offer new
products to customers, inculcate strong culture of innovation, have trained workforce and latest
research and development facilities to enable us to expand the range of our offerings to
customers and improve the delivery of our products along with growing our portfolio of various
products to increasingly represent our revenue from operations, widened the customer base that
we cater to, and typically have a higher margin profile.
16. Our lenders have charge over our movable and immovable properties in respect of finance
availed by us. Our inability to meet our obligations under our debt financing arrangements
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
We have provided security in respect of loans / facilities availed by us from banks and financial
institutions by creating a charge over our movable and immovable properties. The total amounts
outstanding and payable by us as secured loans for the period ended on September 30, 2023,
were Rs. 5,927.07 lakhs. For further details, please refer to, the chapter titled “Financial
Statements as Restated” beginning on page 238.
In the event we default in repayment of the loans / facilities availed by us and any interest
thereof, our properties may be subject to Invocation/forfeiture by lenders, which in turn could
have significant adverse effect on business, financial condition or results of operations. Any
failure on our part to comply with the terms in our loan agreements would generally result in
events of default under these loan agreements. In such a case, the lenders under each of these
respective loan agreements may, at their discretion, accelerate payment and declare the entire
outstanding amounts under these loans due and payable, and in certain instances, enforce their
security which has been constituted over our various assets and take possession of those assets,
which could adversely affect our liquidity and materially and adversely affect our business and
operations.
17. Our Company had a negative cash flow from our operating, investing and financing activities in
past three years, details of which are given below, sustained negative cash flow could impact
our growth and business.
Our Company had a negative cash flow from our operating, investing and financing activities in
the previous year(s) as per the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements and the same has
been summarized below:
(Rs. in Lakhs)
For the period ended For The Year Ended March 31,
Particulars
on September 30, 2023 2023 2022 2021
Cash Flow from/ (Used in) Operating Activities (1,204.86) 2,262.22 (110.89) (589.52)
Cash Flow from/ (Used in) Investing Activities (852.57) (3,846.70) (699.06) (714.61)
Cash Flow from/ (Used in) Financing Activities 2,174.34 1,512.81 883.46 1,023.82
Cash Flow of a Company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations
to meet capital expenditure, pay dividends, repay loans, and make new investments without
raising finance from external resources. Cash flows from our Operating activities are positive
since last one year as per Restated Financial Statements. However, if we are not able to generate
sufficient cash flow in future, it may adversely affect our business and financial operations.
18. There may have been certain instances of non-compliance and alleged non-compliance with
respect to certain regulatory filings for corporate actions taken by our Company in the past.
Page 52 of 472
Consequently, we may be subject to regulatory actions and penalties for any such past or future
non-compliance and our business, financial condition and reputation may be adversely affected.
Our Company has not complied with certain statutory provisions such as the following:
There were instances of delayed filing of statutory forms under the Companies Act with the
Registrar of Companies (RoC), which were subsequently rectified by paying additional fees. These
delays occurred due to inadvertent reasons and ranged from 1 to 1704 days. The details of such
delays are as follows:
As of now, our Company has not received any notice from ROC w.r.t. non-compliance, we cannot
assure that no notice will be issued by ROC or no penalty will be imposed in this regard in the
Page 53 of 472
future. Other non-compliance in late filing of Forms with ROC has been rectified these errors by
filing the updated forms and payment of requisite additional fees. However, there is no assurance
that such discrepancies will not occur in the future, and we may be subject to regulatory actions
and penalties, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial position.
19. Our previous Statutory Auditor K.S. Bothra & Co. have included auditor qualification relating to
the depreciation on Land & Building and Ownership Flats was not charged as per note 2(f)(ii)(b)
of Significant Accounting Policies for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31,
2021 in the audit reports of our Company.
Our previous Statutory Auditor, K.S. Bothra & Co., issued auditor qualifications related to the
depreciation on Land & Building and Ownership Flats, as disclosed in note 2(f)(ii)(b) of the
Significant Accounting Policies, for the financial years ending March 31, 2022, and March 31,
2021, in the audit reports of our Company.
The audit reports for the Financial Years 2022 and 2021 contain qualifications from our previous
statutory auditor regarding the failure to charge depreciation on certain assets categorized under
the Fixed Assets Group. These qualifications specifically noted that "The group has not provided
depreciation on Land & Building and Ownership Flats as per note 2(f)(ii)(b) of Significant
Accounting Policies."
The rationale behind not applying depreciation to these assets is rooted in the fact that they were
acquired for investment and resale purposes and were not intended for direct business use.
These assets were erroneously classified under the Fixed Assets Group. However, during the
restatement of our financials for the purpose of the IPO, we addressed these qualifications under
the guidance of our Peer Review auditor. Subsequently, we reclassified these assets under the
Investment category, as they do not serve a business purpose and depreciation should not be
charged to the Profit and Loss Account due to their status as non-business purpose assets
(Investment Assets).
Consequently, in the Restated Financial Statements, these assets have been reclassified in
accordance with Accounting Standard 13, "Accounting for Investments." The Peer Review auditor
altered their categorization from fixed assets (Annexure No -13) to Investment property
(Annexure No- 17) for the financial years ending March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021.
Further, there can be no assurance that any similar qualifications will not form part of the audit
reports on our financial statements for future fiscal periods, or that such qualifications will not
affect our financial results in future fiscal periods. Investors should consider these qualifications
in evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any such qualifications
on our financial statements in the future may also adversely affect the trading price of the Equity
Shares.
20. The industry segments in which we operate being fragmented, and we face competition from
other large and small players, which may affect our business operations and financial
conditions.
We compete in flexible packaging and plastic industry on the basis of the quality of our products,
price, and customer satisfaction. The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. Factors
affecting our competitive success include, amongst other things, price, demand for our products,
and reliability. Our competitors vary in size, and may have greater financial, marketing, personnel
and other resources than us and certain of our competitors have a longer history of established
businesses and reputations in the Indian trading and packaging industry as compared with us.
Competitive conditions in some of our segments have caused us to incur lower net selling prices
Page 54 of 472
and reduced gross margins and net earnings. These conditions may continue indefinitely.
Changes in the identity, ownership structure, and strategic goals of our competitors and the
emergence of new competitors in our target markets may impact our financial performance. Our
failure to compete effectively, including any delay in responding to changes in the industry and
market, may affect the competitiveness of our products, which may result in a decline in our
revenues and profitability. The industry and markets for our products are characterized by factors
such as the development of new products, and evolving industry standards.
For more information, also refer to chapter “Our Business” on page 167.
21. Our Company’s failure to maintain the quality standards of the products or keep pace with the
technological developments could adversely impact our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our products depend on the customer’s expectations and choice or demand of the customer as
we trade as per particular customer’s needs. Any failure to maintain the quality standards may
affect our business. Although we place order as per customer quality requirement, we cannot
assure that the products will always be able to satisfy our customers’ quality standards. Any
negative publicity regarding our Company, or line of business, including those arising from any
deterioration in quality of the products we trade from our vendors, or any other unforeseen
events could adversely affect our reputation, our operations and our results from operations.
Also, rapid change in our customers’ expectation on account of changes in technology or
introduction of new products or for any other reason and failure on our part to meet their
expectation could adversely affect our business, result of operations and financial condition.
While, we believe that we have always expanded our capacities and/or introduced new products
based on latest technology to cater to the growing demand of our customers and also endeavour
regularly update our existing technology and acquire or develop new technologies on a
continuous basis, our failure to anticipate or to respond adequately to changing technical, market
demands and/or client requirements could adversely affect our business and financial results.
22. The orders placed by customers may be delayed, modified or cancelled, which may have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further any
defaults or delays in payment by a significant portion of our customers, may have an adverse
effect on cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
We may encounter problems in executing the orders in relation to our products or executing it
on a timely basis. Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may
postpone the delivery of such products or cause its cancellation. Due to the possibility of
cancellations or changes in scope and schedule of delivery of such products, resulting from our
customers discretion or problems we encounter in the delivery of products or reasons outside
our control or the control of our customers, we cannot predict with certainty when, if or to what
extent we may be able to deliver the orders placed. Additionally, delays in the delivery of such
products can lead to customers delaying or refusing to pay the amount, in part or full, that we
expect to be paid in respect of such products. In addition, even where a delivery proceeds as
scheduled, it is possible that the customers may default or otherwise fail to pay the amounts
owed.
In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to our customers. Consequently, we are
exposed to the risk of uncertainty regarding the receipt of the outstanding amounts. As on the
period ended September 30, 2023, and as of March 31,2023, March 31, 2022, and March 31,
2021, our trade receivables were Rs. 7,065.96 lakhs, Rs. 6,258.22 lakhs, Rs. 5,242.66 lakhs and Rs.
4,859.69 lakhs respectively. Our results of operations and profitability depend on the
Page 55 of 472
creditworthiness of our customers. Some of these customers may have weak credit histories and
we cannot assure them that these counterparties will always be able to pay us in a timely manner,
or at all. Any adverse change in the financial condition of our customers may adversely affect
their ability to make payments to us.
23. Any increase in interest rates would have an adverse effect our results of operations and will
expose our Company to interest rate risks.
We are dependent upon the availability of equity, cash balances and debt financing to fund our
operations and growth. Our secured debt has been availed at floating rates of interest. Any
fluctuations in interest rates may directly impact the interest costs of such loans and in particular,
any increase in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, our
indebtedness means that a material portion of our expected cash flow may be required to be
dedicated to the payment of interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available
to us for use in our general business operations. If interest rates increase, our interest payments
will increase and our ability to obtain additional debt and non-fund-based facilities could be
adversely affected with a concurrent adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. For further details, please refer chapter titled “Financial Indebtedness”
beginning on page 361.
24. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our Company’s
financials which if materialised, could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our contingent liabilities as per Restated Standalone Financial Statements as on September 30,
2023, are as under:
(Rs. in lakhs)
Particulars Amount
(1) Contingent liabilities
(a) Guarantees issued by banks 1,105.78
(b) Income tax Matters -
(c) Indirect tax Matters 11.86
(d) Corporate Guarantee Given by Company 7,538.93
Total 8,656.57
(2) Commitments (166.00)
In the event any such contingencies mentioned above were to materialize or if our contingent
liabilities were to increase in the future, our financial condition could be adversely affected. For
further details, see the section entitled “Financial Statements as Restated” on page 238.
25. We do not own three warehouses used for our business. In the event, we are unable to renew
the lease/rent agreements, or if such agreements are terminated, we may suffer a disruption in
our operations.

These leases are renewable on mutually agreed terms. Upon termination of the lease, we are
required to return the said business premises to the Lessor/Licensor, unless renewed. There can
be no assurance that the term of the agreements will be renewed and in the event the
Lessor/Licensor terminates or does not renew the agreements on commercially acceptable
terms, or at all, and we are required to vacate our offices, we may be required to identify
alternative premises and enter into fresh lease or leave and license agreement. Such a situation
could result in loss of business, time overruns and may adversely affect our operations and
profitability.
For further details of properties, please refer to the chapter titled "Our Business" beginning on
page 167.
26. We are dependent on our key management team as well as our mid-to-senior personnel and
our success depends in large part upon our Promoters. The loss of or our inability to attract or
retain such persons could materially adversely affect our business performance.
Our business and the implementation of our strategy is dependent upon our key management
team, who oversee our day-to-day operations, strategy and growth of our business. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to retain these personnel or find adequate replacements in
a timely manner, or at all. We may not be able to hire and train replacement personnel
immediately when qualified personnel terminate their employment with our Company. We may
also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than in the past
to remain competitive in attracting employees that our business requires. Further, our
competitors may offer compensation and remuneration packages beyond what we are offering
to our key management team. If one or more members of our key management team are unable
or unwilling to continue in their present positions, such persons would be difficult to replace in a
timely and cost-effective manner, and our business, prospects, results of operations and cash
flows could be materially adversely affected.
27. Failure or disruption to our Information Technology and/or business resource planning systems
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
prospects.
We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) and/or business resource planning
systems to cover key areas of our operations. We are dependent on technology in relation to
customer order management and dispatches, financial accounting and scheduling material
purchase and shipments. We rely on our IT infrastructure to provide us with connectivity and
data backup across our locations and functions. We believe that we have deployed adequate IT
disaster management systems including data backup and retrieval mechanisms, at registered
office and other locations. However, any failure or disruption in the operation of these systems
or the loss of data due to such failure or disruption (including due to human error or sabotage)
may affect our ability to plan, track, record and analyze work in progress and sales, process
financial information, manage our creditors, debtors positions, or otherwise conduct our normal
Page 57 of 472
business operations, which may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
28. Our inability to effectively manage our growth or to successfully implement our business plan
and growth strategies could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively
implement our business and growth strategies.
Our growth strategies require us to develop and strengthen relationships with existing customers
for our business who may drive high volume orders on an ongoing basis. To remain competitive,
we seek to increase our business from existing customers and by adding new customers, as well
as expanding into new geographical markets. Our success in implementing our growth strategies
may be affected by:
Many of these factors are beyond our control and there is no assurance that we will succeed in
implementing our strategies. While we have successfully executed our business strategies in the
past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our strategies on time and within
our estimated budget, or that our expansion and development plans will increase our
profitability. Any of these factors could adversely impact our results of operations. We expect our
growth strategies to place significant demands on our management, financial and other resources
and require us to continue developing and improving our operational, financial and other internal
controls. Our inability to manage our business and growth strategies could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and profitability.
29. Any inability to address changing industry standards and customer trends may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The future success of our business will depend in part on our ability to respond to technological
advances, customers preferences and emerging industry standards and practices in a cost-
effective and timely manner. The development and implementation of such new technology
entails technical and business risks. We may have to incur substantial capital investment to
upgrade our equipment and facilities. While we continue to invest in various product
development initiatives, adopt enhanced technologies and processes for the development of new
products, we are subject to general risks associated with introduction and implementation of new
products including the lack of market acceptance and delays in product development. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop new products or that such new
products will receive market acceptance or adapt our manufacturing processes to incorporate
new technologies or address changing customers trends or emerging industry standards. Any
rapid change in the expectations of our customers, in our business on account of changes in
technology or introduction of new alternate products could adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
30. Our Promoter, Director and Group entities have provided personal guarantees to certain loan
facilities availed by us, which if revoked may require alternative guarantees, repayment of
amounts due or termination of the facilities.
Page 58 of 472
Our Promoters, Directors and Group entities have provided personal guarantees in relation to
certain loan facilities availed of by us. In the event that any of these guarantees are revoked, the
lenders for such facilities may require alternate guarantees, repayment of amounts outstanding
under such facilities, or may even terminate such facilities. We may not be successful in procuring
alternative guarantees satisfactory to the lenders, and as a result may need to repay outstanding
amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which may not be available on
acceptable terms or at all and any such failure to raise additional capital could affect our
operations and our financial condition.
31. Pricing pressure from customers may affect our gross margins.
Our ability to remain competitive and profitable depend on our ability to source and maintain a
stable and sufficient supply of raw materials at cost effective prices. Historically, prices of material
costs have increased such as Gas and petroleum products which have a significant effect on our
gross margins. We depend on external suppliers for our materials on a purchase order basis and
place such orders with them in advance on the basis of our anticipated requirements. As a result,
the success of our business is significantly dependent on maintaining good relationships with our
suppliers. For further information on procurement of our materials, see “Our Business” beginning
on page 167.
32. Our Company is reliant on key customers for our business and therefore any adverse
developments in our relationships with our key customers or a significant reduction in business
from any such key customer may adversely impact our results of operations, prospects and
financial condition.
The identity and correspondingly revenues from any particular customer or our top five
customers may vary between financial reporting years depending on the nature and term of
ongoing contracts with such customers. For the period ended on September 30, 2023, and for
the financial year ended on March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, our top five
customers across our business accounted for Rs. 1,602.55 lakhs, Rs 4,511.48 lakhs, Rs 4134.88
lakhs, Rs 2547.33 lakhs and 29.16%, 28.73%, 24.18% and 24.92% of our revenue from operations,
respectively, while our largest customer accounted for Rs. 891.09 lakhs, Rs 1482.42 lakhs, Rs
1087.53 lakhs, and Rs. 630.82 lakhs and 16.21%, 9.44%, 6.36% and 6.17% of our revenue from
operations respectively, in such periods. Thus, our Company is reliant on key customers for our
business and therefore any adverse developments in our relationships with our key customers or
a significant reduction in business from any such key customer may adversely impact our results
of operations, prospects and financial condition.
33. Our success is dependent on our ability to enter and expand our network in new markets which
is further dependent on our familiarity with the economic condition, customer base and
commercial operations in new regions.
Our success is dependent on our ability to enter and expand our network in new markets which
is further dependent on our familiarity with the economic condition, customer base and
commercial operations in new regions. With limited presence, our ability to gain market share is
also dependent on our ability to compete with companies that may have an existing strong
presence.
However, we may not be successful in expanding our network or increasing our market presence.
Further, we may also face disruptions in selling our products for various reasons such as
transportation bottlenecks, raw material inaccessibility, competition activities, labour issues,
natural disasters, etc. which may result in disruptions to our business.

34. We have in the past entered transactions with related parties and may continue to do so in the
future. These or any future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of
interest and there can be no assurance that we could not have achieved better terms, had such
arrangements been entered into with unrelated parties.
The table below provides summary of transactions from related parties for the period ended on
September 30, 2023, and during the last 3 fiscal years ended on March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022,

For further details in relation to transactions with related parties, please refer to the section
entitled “Related Party Transactions” on page 236. We have entered into various transactions
with related parties, including the purchase and sale of services from time to time. While we
confirm that these related party transactions entered into by us, were in compliance with the
Companies Act, 2013 as amended and other applicable laws, we cannot assure you that we could
not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with
unrelated parties. Also, upon listing of our Equity Shares pursuant to the issue, all related party
transactions that we may enter into, will be subject to the requirements of the Companies Act,
2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations, there can be no assurance that such transactions,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations or that we could not achieve more favourable terms if such transactions had
not been entered into with related parties. Such related party transactions may potentially
involve conflicts of interest.
There is no assurance that our related party transactions in future would be on terms favourable
to us when compared to similar transactions with unrelated or third parties or that our related
party transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial
condition. For details, see “Financial Statements as Restated – Annexure – 32: Related Party
Transaction” on page 278.
35. Default or delay in payment by a significant portion of our customers, may have an adverse
effect on cash flows, result of operations and financial conditions.
We may encounter problems in executing the orders in relation to our products on a timely basis.
Moreover, factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may postpone the delivery
of such products or cause it cancellation. Due to the possibility of cancellation or changes in scope
and schedule of delivery of such products resulting from our customers discretion or problems
we encounter in the delivery of such products or reasons outside our control, we cannot predict
with certainty when, if or to what extent we may be able to deliver the orders placed. Additionally,
delays in the delivery of such products can lead to customers delaying or refusing to pay the
amount, in part or in full, that we expect to be paid in respect of such products. In addition, even
where a delivery proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the customers may default or otherwise
fail to pay the amounts they owned.
Page 60 of 472
In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to our customers. Our results of operations
and profitability depend on the creditworthiness of our customers. Certain of these customers
may have weak credit histories and we cannot assure that these counterparties will always be
able to pay us in a timely fashion, or at all. Any adverse change in the financial condition of our
customers may adversely affect their ability to make payments to us.
Default or delays in payments by a significant portion of our customers may have an adverse
effect on cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. Default or delays in payments
by a significant portion of our customers may have an adverse effect on cash flows, results of
operations and financial condition.
36. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover all possible losses.
Our operations carry inherent risks of personal injury and loss of life, damage to or destruction
of property and damage to the environment, and are subject to various risks such as fire, theft,
flood, earthquakes, and terrorism. We maintain insurance coverage in amounts we consider to
be commercially appropriate. Our insured assets primarily consist of property, office equipment,
furniture, fixtures and fittings, inventory, etc. In the past three years, there have been no
instances of under insurance i.e., where our insurance cover did not adequately cover the insured
value required for our operations. However, there can be no assurance that our current and
future insurance will adequately cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from our operations,
including, but not limited to, when the loss suffered is not easily quantifiable. While we have not
had any such instance in the past three years, there can be no assurance that in the future our
losses would not significantly exceed our insurance coverage or may not be recoverable through
insurance and consequently our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. For further details of insurance see “Our Business” on page
167.
37. Industry information included in this Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from publicly
available industry reports and/or websites. There can be no assurance that such third–party
statistical, financial, and other industry information is either complete or accurate.
We have relied on the information from various publicly available industry reports and/or
websites for the purpose of inclusion of such information in this Prospectus. These reports are
subject to various limitations and based upon certain assumptions that are subjective in nature.
We have not independently verified data from such industry reports and other sources. Although
we believe that the data may be considered to be reliable, their accuracy, completeness and
underlying assumptions are not guaranteed, and their dependability cannot be assured. While
we have taken reasonable care in the reproduction of the information, the information has not
been prepared or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and,
therefore, we make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or
completeness of such facts and statistics. Due to possibly flawed or ineffective collection
methods or discrepancies between published information and market practice and other
problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics
produced for other economies and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, there is no
assurance that they are stated or compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy
as may be the case elsewhere.
38. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive
covenants in our financing arrangements.
Page 61 of 472
We may retain all our future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our
business. As a result, we may not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future
determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our
Board of Directors and will depend on factors that our Board of Directors deem relevant,
including among others, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements,
business prospects and any other financing arrangements. Additionally, under some of our loan
agreements, we may not be permitted to declare any dividends if there is a default under such
loan agreements or unless our Company has paid all the dues to the lender up to the date on
which the dividend is declared or paid or has made satisfactory provisions thereof. Accordingly,
realization of a gain on shareholders investments may largely depend upon the appreciation of
the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that our Equity Shares will appreciate.
For details of our dividend history, see “Dividend Policy” on page 237.
39. Certain of our Directors hold Equity Shares in our Company and are therefore interested in our
Company’s performance in addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of expenses.
Our directors are interested in our Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and
reimbursement of expenses, to the extent of their shareholding as nominee shareholder on
behalf of our holding company or the shareholding of their relatives in our Company. There can
be no assurance that our directors will exercise their rights as Shareholders to the benefit and
best interest of our Company. For further details, see “Related Party Transactions” under
chapter titled “Financial Statements as Restated” and “Our Management” on page 278 and 208
respectively.
40. Within the parameters as mentioned in the chapter titled ‘Objects of the Issue’ beginning on
page 113, our Company’s management will have flexibility in applying the proceeds of this
Issue. The fund requirement and deployment mentioned in the Objects of this Issue have not
been appraised by any bank or financial institution.
We intend to use Issue Proceeds towards Funding the Working Capital Requirements, General
Corporate Purposes and to meet Issue expenses. We intend to deploy the Net Issue Proceeds in
FY 2023-24 and 2024-25. Such deployment is based on certain assumptions and strategy which
our Company believes to implement in near future. The funds raised from the Issue may remain
idle on account of change in assumptions, market conditions, strategy of our Company, etc., For
further details on the use of the Issue Proceeds, please refer chapter titled “Objects of the Issue”
beginning on page 113.
The deployment of funds for the purposes described above is at the discretion of our Company’s
Board of Directors. The fund requirement and deployment are based on internal management
estimates and has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Accordingly, within the
parameters as mentioned in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 113, the
Management of the Company will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds received by
our Company from the Issue.
However, the Audit Committee will monitor the utilization of the proceeds of this Issue and
prepare the statement for utilization of the proceeds of this Issue. However, in accordance with
Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company shall not vary the objects of the issue without
our Company being authorized to do so by our shareholders by way of special resolution and
other compliances in this regard.
41. We have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the
Objects of the Issue. Any shortfall in raising / meeting the same could adversely affect our
growth plans, operations, and financial performance.
Page 62 of 472
As on date, we have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements
for the objects of the Issue. We meet our capital requirements through our bank finance,
unsecured loans, owned funds and internal accruals. Any shortfall in our net owned funds,
internal accruals and our inability to raise debt in future would result in us being unable to meet
our capital requirements, which in turn will negatively affect our financial condition and results
of operations. Further we have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any
failure or delay on our part to raise money from this Issue or any shortfall in the Issue proceeds
may delay the implementation schedule and could adversely affect our growth plans. For further
details please refer to the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 113.
42. Any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance
requirements, including prior shareholders’ approval.
Our Company intends to use Net Proceeds raised pursuant to the Fresh Issue in the manner set
out in the section titled “Objects of the Issue” on page 113. In accordance with Section 27 of the
Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds
as disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus without obtaining the approval of shareholders of our
Company through a special resolution.
In the event of any such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed
utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the approval of the shareholders of
our Company in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such approval of the
shareholders of our Company may adversely affect our business or operations. In light of these
factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of objects of the Issue to use any unutilized
proceeds of the Issue, if any, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. This may
restrict our Company’s ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by
re-deploying the unutilized portion of Net Proceeds, if any, which may adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
43. If we are unable to source business opportunities effectively, we may not achieve our financial
objectives.
Our ability to achieve financial objectives will depend on our ability to identify, evaluate and
accomplish business opportunities. Our failure to source business opportunities effectively could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is
also possible that the strategies used by us in the future may be different from those presently
in use. No assurance can be given that our analyses of market and other data or the strategies
we use or plans in future to use will be successful under various market conditions.
44. The deployment of funds raised through this Issue shall not be subject to any Monitoring Agency
and shall be purely dependent on the discretion of the management of our Company.
Our Issue size is less than Rs. 10,000 lakhs, there is no mandatory requirement of appointing an
Independent Monitoring Agency for overseeing the deployment of utilization of funds raised
through this Issue. The deployment of these funds raised through this Issue, is hence, at the
discretion of the management and the Board of Directors of our Company and will not be subject
to monitoring by any independent agency. However, as per Section 177 of the Companies Act,
2013, the Audit Committee of our Company would be monitoring the utilization of proceeds of
the Issue. Any inability on our part to effectively utilize the Issue proceeds could adversely affect
our financials.
Page 63 of 472
45. Our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group will continue jointly to retain majority
control over our Company after the Issue, which will allow them to determine the outcome of
matters submitted to shareholders for approval.
After completion of the Issue, our Promoters and Promoter Group will collectively own [●] % of
the Equity Shares. As a result, our Promoters together with the members of the Promoter Group
will be able to exercise a significant degree of influence over us and will be able to control the
outcome of any proposal that can be approved by a majority shareholder vote, including, the
election of members to our Board, in accordance with the Companies Act and our Articles of
Association. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing
or deterring a change in control of our Company. In addition, our Promoters will continue to have
the ability to cause us to take actions that are not in, or may conflict with, our interests or the
interests of some or all of our creditors or minority shareholders, and we cannot assure you that
such actions will not have an adverse effect on our future financial performance or the price of
our Equity Shares.
46. We could be harmed by employee misconduct or errors that are difficult to detect and any such
incidences could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
Employee misconduct or errors could expose us to business risks or losses, including regulatory
sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to detect or deter such misconduct. Moreover, the precautions we take to prevent and
detect such activity may not be effective in all cases. Our employees may also commit errors that
could subject us to claims and proceedings for alleged negligence, as well as regulatory actions
on account of which our business, financial condition, results of operations and goodwill could
be adversely affected.
47. We have incurred indebtedness, and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants
in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We have entered into agreements with certain banks for short-term and long terms facilities
which contain restrictive covenants, including requirements that we obtain NOC/Consent from
the lenders prior to undertaking certain matters including altering our capital structure, further
issuance of any shares, effecting any scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction, changing the
management and dilution of Promoters’ shareholding, and creation of security. Further, in terms
of security, we are required to create a mortgage or charge over our movable and immovable
properties. We may also be required to furnish additional security if required by our lenders.
Additionally, we are required to, among others, maintain the prescribed debt coverage ratio, net
total debt, and fixed asset coverage ratio. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
comply with these financial or other covenants at all times or that we will be able to obtain the
NOC/Consent necessary to take the actions that we believe are required to operate and grow
our business. Further, we are susceptible to changes in interest rates and the risks arising
therefrom. Certain of our financing agreements provide for interest at variable rates with a
provision for the periodic resetting of interest rates. Further, under certain of our financing
agreements, the lenders are entitled to charge the applicable rate of interest, which is a
combination of a base rate that depends upon the policies of the RBI and a contractually agreed
spread, and in the event of an adverse change in our Company’s credit risk rating. Our Company
sought to obtain the relevant NOC/Consent in relation to the Issue, from the respective lenders
in advance of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Issue Specific Risks
48. Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to surveillance measures, such
as the Additional Surveillance Measures and the Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock
Exchanges in order to enhance the integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of
investors.
Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to Additional Surveillance
Measures (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchange. These
measures are in place to enhance the integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of
investors. The criteria for shortlisting any security trading on the Stock Exchanges for ASM is
based on objective criteria, which includes market-based parameters such as high low price
variation, concentration of client accounts, close to close price variation, market capitalization,
average daily trading volume and its change, and average delivery percentage, among others.
Securities are subject to GSM when its price is not commensurate with the financial health and
fundamentals of the issuer. Specific parameters for GSM include net worth, net fixed assets, price
to earning ratio, market capitalization and price to book value, among others.
Factors within and beyond our control may lead to our securities being subject to GSM or ASM.
In the event our Equity Shares are subject to such surveillance measures implemented by the
Stock Exchange, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in connection with trading
of our Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once
in a week or a month) or freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse
effect on the market price of our Equity Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the
development of an active trading market for our Equity Shares.
49. There are restrictions on daily / weekly / monthly movements in the price of the Equity Shares,
which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity
Shares at a particular point in time.
Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breakers imposed by designated stock exchanges in
India, which does not allow transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of
the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide
circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on
circuit breakers is set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and
trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges do not inform us of the percentage
limit of the circuit breaker in effect from time to time and may change it without our knowledge.
This circuit breaker limits the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity
Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no assurance may be given regarding your ability to sell
your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares at any
particular time.
50. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and, after the Issue, the Equity Shares may
experience price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares
may not develop. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable
to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price, or at all.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading
market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and
quotation do not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the
liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to
be determined through a fixed price process in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations and
may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares at the time of commencement of
Page 65 of 472
trading of the Equity Shares or at any time thereafter. The market price of the Equity Shares may
be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our
operating results of our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in,
developments relating to India, volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India,
variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates
by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
51. After this Issue, the price of the Equity Shares may be highly volatile, or an active trading market
for the Equity Shares may not develop.
The price of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges may fluctuate as a result of the factors,
including:
Current valuations may not be sustainable in the future and may also not be reflective of future
valuations for our industry and our Company. There has been no public market for Equity Shares
and the prices of the Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue. There can be no assurance that
an active trading market for the Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this Issue or that
the price at which the Equity Shares are initially traded will correspond to the price at which the
Equity Shares will trade in the market after this Issue.
52. The Issue price of our Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity
Shares after the Issue and the market price of our Equity Shares may decline below the Issue
price and you may not be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
The Issue Price of our Equity Shares has been determined by Book Built Method. This price is be
based on numerous factors (For further information, please refer chapter titled “Basis for Issue
Price” beginning on page 126 and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares
after the Issue. The market price of our Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations
after the Issue and may decline below the Issue Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able
to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price. Among the factors that could affect our
share price include without limitation. The following:
• Half yearly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as earnings per
share, net income and revenues.
• Changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts;
• Speculation in the press or investment community.
• General market conditions; and
• Domestic and international economic, legal, and regulatory factors unrelated to our
performance.
53. You will not be able to sell immediately on Stock Exchange any of the Equity Shares you
purchase in the Issue until the Issue receives appropriate trading permissions.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchange. Pursuant to Indian regulations, certain
actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading may commence.
Page 66 of 472
We cannot assure you that the Equity Shares will be credited to the investor’s demat accounts,
or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence within the time periods specified in the Red
Herring Prospectus. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to
dispose of the Equity Shares. In accordance with section 40 of the Companies Act, 2013, if
permission to list the Equity Shares is denied by the stock exchanges, we are required to refund
all monies collected to investors.
54. QIB and Non-Institutional investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms
of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting the Bid.
Pursuant to SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional investors are not permitted to
withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any
stage after submitting the Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bid during the Bid Period
and withdraw their Bids until Bid Closing date. While our Company is required to complete
Allotment pursuant to Issue within four working days from the Bid Closing date, events affecting
the Bidders decision to invest in Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in
international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our
business, result of operations or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of
the Bid and allotment. Our Company may complete the allotment of Equity shares even if such
events occur, and such events limit the Bidders ability to sell the Equity Shares allotted pursuant
to the Issue or cause the trading price of Equity Shares to decline on listing.
55. Sale of Equity Shares by our Promoter or other significant shareholder(s) may adversely affect
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
EXTERNAL RISK
56. Changes in government regulations or their implementation could disrupt our operations and
adversely affect our business and the results of operations.
Our business and industry are regulated by different laws, rules and regulations framed by the
Central and State Government. These regulations can be amended/ changed on a short notice at
the discretion of the Government. If we fail to comply with all applicable regulations or if the
regulations governing our business or their implementation change adversely, we may incur
increased costs or be subject to penalties, which could disrupt our operations and adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
57. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of
tax laws, may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
The regulatory and policy environment in India is evolving and subject to change. Such changes
in applicable law and policy in India, including the instances described below, may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operation, performance and prospects in India,
to the extent that we are not able to suitably respond to and comply with such changes.
The Government of India implemented a comprehensive national goods and service tax (“GST”)
regime that combines taxes and levies by the central and state governments into a unified rate
Page 67 of 472
structure from July 01, 2017, which we believe will result in fundamental changes. However, given
its recent introduction, there is no established practice regarding the implementation of, and
compliance with, GST. The implementation of the new GST regime has increased the operational
and compliance burden for Indian companies and has also led to various uncertainties. Any future
increases and amendments to the GST regime may further affect the overall tax efficiency of
companies operating in India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by any unexpected or
onerous requirements or regulations resulting from the introduction of GST or any changes in
laws or interpretation of existing laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations
relating to GST, as it is implemented. Further, as GST is implemented, there can be no assurance
that we will not be required to comply with additional procedures and/or obtain additional
approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies or that they will not
impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. Any such changes and the
related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of GST may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, the Finance Act, 2023 instituted a number of amendments to the existing direct and
indirect tax regime which includes the withdrawal of long-term capital gains exemptions on equity
shares, long term capital gains applicability in the hands of Foreign Institutional Investors and
applicability of dividend distribution tax for certain transactions with shareholders, among others.
58. A slowdown in economic growth in India could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Purv Flexi Pack Limited is a provider of flexible packaging solutions in India. Our performance and
growth are, and will be, dependent to a large extent on the health of the Indian economy and
consumption spending by businesses and consumers. Economic growth in India is affected by
various factors including domestic consumption and savings, rate of inflation in India, balance of
trade movements, and global economic uncertainty.
Our revenue is generated primarily from the sale of direct supply of various plastic-based
products such as Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film, Polyester Films, Cast
Polypropylene (CPP) films, Plastic granules, Inks, Adhesives, Masterbatches, Ethyl Acedate, and
Titanium Dioxide. In addition, our company is a Del Credere Associate (DCA) of Indian Oil
Corporation Limited and operates as a Dealer Operated Polymer Warehouse (DOPW) for their
polymer division. Consumption of these products has increased due to increased demand for
packaged goods in India, which has been positively and materially affecting our operating results.
Consequently, future changes in the Indian economy, especially the purchasing power of
businesses and consumers, is expected to directly impact our revenues and results of operations.
Further, India has in the past experienced high rates of inflation. In addition, from time to time,
the Government of India has taken measures to control inflation, which have included tightening
monetary policy by raising interest rates, restricting the availability of credit and inhibiting
economic growth.
Inflation, measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible governmental
actions to combat inflation have also contributed significantly to economic uncertainty in India
and heightened volatility in the Indian capital markets. Periods of higher inflation may also slow
the growth rate of the Indian economy and increase some of our costs and expenses. To the
extent that the demand for our products decreases or costs and expenses increase, and we are
not able to pass those increases in costs and expenses on to our customers, our operating margins
and operating income may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other Risks
59. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as U.S.
GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in
accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations contained in this Red Herring Prospectus.
As stated in the reports of the Auditor included in this Red Herring Prospectus under chapter
“Financial Statements as restated” beginning on page 238, the financial statements included in
this Red Herring Prospectus are based on financial information that is based on the audited
financial statements that are prepared and presented in conformity with Indian GAAP and
restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and no attempt has been made to
reconcile any of the information given in this Red Herring Prospectus to any other principles or
to base it on any other standards. Indian GAAP differs from accounting principles and auditing
standards with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries, such as U.S. GAAP
and IFRS. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may
be material to the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with Indian GAAP
contained in this Red Herring Prospectus.
Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Red Herring Prospectus
will provide meaningful information is dependent on familiarity with Indian GAAP, the Companies
Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian GAAP on the
financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
60. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of
tax laws, may adversely affect our business and financial performance.
The regulatory and policy environment in India is evolving and subject to change. Such changes
in applicable law and policy in India, including the instances described below, may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operation, performance and prospects in India,
to the extent that we are not able to suitably respond to and comply with such changes.
For instance, in November 2016, the Government of India demonetized certain – high value
denominations of currency. Trading and retail businesses in India were impacted for a limited
period on account of such demonetization. Such businesses have subsequently needed to
introduce additional point of sale instruments to improve their collection process.
The Government of India implemented a comprehensive national goods and service tax (“GST”)
regime that combines taxes and levies by the central and state governments into a unified rate
structure from July 01, 2017, which we believe will result in fundamental changes. However, given
its recent introduction, there is no established practice regarding the implementation of, and
compliance with, GST. The implementation of the new GST regime has increased the operational
and compliance burden for Indian companies and has also led to various uncertainties. Any future
increases and amendments to the GST regime may further affect the overall tax efficiency of
companies operating in India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable.
Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by any unexpected or
onerous requirements or regulations resulting from the introduction of GST or any changes in
laws or interpretation of existing laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations
relating to GST, as it is implemented. Further, as GST is implemented, there can be no assurance
that we will not be required to comply with additional procedures and/or obtain additional
approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies or that they will not
impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations. Any such changes and the
related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of GST may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Page 69 of 472
Further, the General Anti Avoidance Rules came into effect on April 1, 2017. The effect of the
application of these provisions to our business in India is at present uncertain. Furthermore, the
Finance Act, 2019 instituted a number of amendments to the existing direct and indirect tax
regime which includes the withdrawal of long-term capital gains exemptions on equity shares,
long term capital gains applicability in the hands of Foreign Institutional Investors and
applicability of dividend distribution tax for certain transactions with shareholders, among
others.
61. Political instability or a change in economic liberalization and deregulation policies could
seriously harm business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in
particular.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over
many aspects of the economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity
Shares may be affected by interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil
unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. The rate of
economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting the information
technology sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment in our securities
could change as well. Any significant change in such liberalization and de-regulation policies could
adversely affect business and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations, in particular.
62. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of facts and other statistics with respect to
India, the Indian economy and industry in which our company operates contained in the Red
Herring Prospectus.
While facts and other statistics in this Red Herring Prospectus relating to India, the Indian
economy and the industry in which our company operates has been based on various
government publications and reports from government agencies that we believe are reliable, we
cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of such materials. While we have taken reasonable care
in the reproduction of such information, industry facts and other statistics have not been
prepared or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and,
therefore we make no representation as to their accuracy or completeness. These facts and other
statistics include the facts and statistics included in the chapter titled “Our Industry” beginning
on page 140. Due to possibly flawed or ineffective data collection methods or discrepancies
between published information and market practice and other problems, the statistics herein
may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced elsewhere and should not be
unduly relied upon. Further, there is no assurance that they are stated or compiled on the same
basis or with the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.
63. Financial instability in Indian financial markets could adversely affect our Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
In this globalized world, the Indian economy and financial markets are significantly influenced by
worldwide economic, financial and market conditions. Any financial turmoil, say in the United
States of America, Europe, China or other emerging economies, may have a negative impact on
the Indian economy. Although economic conditions differ in each country, investors’ reactions to
any significant developments in one country can have adverse effects on the financial and market
conditions in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems, particularly
in other emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets. Indian
financial markets have also experienced the contagion effect of the global financial turmoil. Any
prolonged financial crisis may have an adverse impact on the Indian economy, thereby resulting
in a material and adverse effect on our Company's business, operations, financial condition,
Page 70 of 472
profitability and price of its Shares. Stock exchanges in India have in the past experienced
substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities.
64. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of our Equity Shares.
The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies
and the regulation and monitoring of Indian securities markets and the activities of investors,
brokers and other participants differ, in some cases significantly, from those in the more
developed economies. Indian stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial
fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. Further, the Indian stock exchanges have
experienced volatility in the recent times. The Indian stock exchanges have also experienced
problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies,
such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers.
In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time-to-time restricted
securities from trading and limited price movements. A closure of, or trading stoppage on the
SME Platform of BSE Limited could adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
65. Global economic, political, and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase
our costs and negatively affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts and directly
affect performance. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and
monetary policies of governments, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer
credit availability, fluctuations in commodities markets, consumer debt levels, unemployment
trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence, spending and tourism. Increasing
volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of
frequency and magnitude, which may negatively affect our stock prices.
66. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our
ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the Equity
Shares.
Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between
non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply
with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of
shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or
reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior
approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee
proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency
from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority.
There can be no assurance that any approval required from the RBI or any other government
agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
67. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely affect our Company’s results
of operations and financial condition.
Page 71 of 472
68. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign rating by an independent agency may harm our ability
to raise financing.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international
rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest
rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing may be available. This could
have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain
financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity Shares.
69. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and
other acts of violence could adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis,
tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of
terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or
financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the
Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially
between India and its neighbouring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional
stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition, India has
witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years, and it is possible that future civil unrest as well
as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our
business. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian
companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and
the market price of the Equity Shares.

Pursuant to the certificate dated February 05, 2024, issued by our statutory auditor M/s. Keyur Shah &
Associates, Chartered Accountants.
Our company is seizing an opportunity to import polymer of non-IOCL grades from countries like
Middle east, China, Singapore and USA. Our group companies are already importing these types of
polymers from abroad and consuming them in our subsidiary company and selling them in open
market. As per our management survey there is huge potential for these type of products in India and
our company plans to import them on large scale basis. At present prices of these type of polymers is
cheap in comparison to Indian manufactured polymers and our company wants to cash-in the
opportunity as we have established connects in the corporates and users using these polymers due
our experience in this line of trade for more than 30 years. Our company also plan to expand its
product range further and explore new avenues of growth i.e.
• Aluminum Foil of SRF which uses in the application in household foil, flexible packaging and
pharma sector
• Different chemical of Solvay which uses in the application in Binder, Adhesive, Paints, Solvent,
Floor Cleaning etc.
To fund the import of these non-IOCL grade polymers, we require substantial funds in addition to our
sanctioned working capital limits. At present, cost of these polymers is around 1,15,000 lac/per tonne
which includes custom duty and clearance charges. Price of these polymers is very volatile and keeps
on fluctuating as per international crude price. We plan to import around 1,100-1,300 tonne per month
and need fund to acquire them. Further with the additions of aluminum foil and chemical Solvay in our
products portfolio, our investment in inventories will increase.
On the basis of existing and estimated working capital requirement of our Company and assumptions
for such working capital requirements, our Board pursuant to its resolution dated September 28, 2023,
has approved the projected working capital requirements for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 and the

and the drag on
growth from the ongoing monetary tightening to restore
price stability is expected to peak in 2023 in many major
economies. Recent banking sector stress will further tighten
credit conditions. This will result in a substantial growth
deceleration in the second half of this year. This slowdown
will compound a period of already-subdued growth—over
the first half of the 2020s (2020-2024), growth in EMDEs is
expected to average just 3.4 percent, one of the weakest half-
decades of the past 30 years. This slowdown reflects both
cyclical dynamics and the current trend of declining global potential output growth.
Global financial conditions have tightened as a result of policy rate hikes and, to a lesser extent, recent
bouts of financial instability. Many banks experienced substantial unrealized losses due to the sharp
rise in policy interest rates. Concerns about the viability of balance sheets of some banks led to
depositor flight and market volatility in the United States and Europe earlier in the year, which were
stemmed by a swift and extensive policy response. Financial markets remain highly sensitive to
evolving expectations about the future path of interest rates of major central banks. Spillovers from
banking turmoil in advanced economies to EMDEs have so far been limited. However, countries with

core inflation is expected to remain above central bank targets in many countries throughout 2024.
Risks to the outlook remain tilted to the downside. Recent advanced-economy bank turmoil highlights
the possibility of more disorderly failures, which could lead to systemic banking crises and protracted

Advanced-economy banks started the year with unrealized losses on bond portfolios, which increased
as interest rates rose. This, combined with shortcomings in risk management, contributed to the
failure of several regional banks in the United States. In Europe, Credit Suisse came under intense
market pressure in March and was subject to an emergency takeover. The initial emergence of banking
stress drove a surge in market volatility, including the sharpest five-day drop in two-year U.S. yields in
more than two decades and a large decline in bank equity prices. To bolster market confidence and
limit contagion to the broader financial system, authorities have responded with emergency liquidity
facilities. The U.S. authorities also introduced an expanded deposit guarantee for the banks that failed
in March. Central banks have nonetheless reaffirmed intentions to maintain, or increase, the tightness
of monetary policy until inflation shows a clear trend toward target. Even with continued signs of
banking stress, broader risk appetite in advanced-economy financial markets has been notably
resilient. High-yield corporate risk spreads have mostly stayed below their post-2010 average, despite
bank lending standards reaching their most restrictive levels since the global financial crisis.
Spillovers from advanced-economy banking stress have so far been limited in most EMDEs, but have
exhibited a similar divergence. Market perceptions of the creditworthiness of investment grade
EMDEs (as measured by credit-default swap premia) were little affected in March, after the first bank
failures in advanced economies; in contrast, credit default swap spreads for non-investment grade
sovereign borrowers widened notably.

Advanced-economy growth is projected to slow to an annual average of 0.7 percent in 2023. This
largely reflects the continued effect of considerable central bank policy rate hikes since early 2022.
More restrictive credit conditions due to banking sector stress in advanced economies should slow
domestic demand further in 2023. Past increases in energy prices and the expected softening in labor
markets are also projected to weigh on activity. Growth is expected to accelerate modestly to 1.2
percent in 2024 due to a pickup in the euro area.
Growth in EMDEs is projected to edge up to 4 percent in 2023, which almost entirely reflects the
rebound in China. Excluding China, EMDE growth is set to decline to 2.9 percent this year, from 4.1
percent last year, due to the drag from high inflation and the associated monetary tightening—both
domestically and via monetary policy spillovers from advanced economies—as well as from slowing

INTRODUCTION
Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to be supported by factors
such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a thorough assessment and
rationalisation of the tariff structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased
capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers, and
with the revival in monsoon and the Kharif sowing, agriculture is also picking up momentum. The
contact-based services sector has largely demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the
pent-up demand over the period of April-September 2022. The sector's success is being captured by
a number of HFIs (High-Frequency Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings of a
comeback.
India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of
the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy
and strong partnerships.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
India is primarily a domestic demand-driven economy, with consumption and investments
contributing to 70% of the economic activity. With an improvement in the economic scenario and the
Indian economy recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic shock, several investments and
developments have been made across various sectors of the economy. According to World Bank, India
must continue to prioritise lowering inequality while also putting growth-oriented policies into place
to boost the economy. In view of this, there have been some developments that have taken place in
the recent past. Some of them are mentioned below.
➢ As of September 21, 2022, India’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 524,520 million.
➢ The private equity-venture capital (PE-VC) sector investments stood at US$ 2 billion in September
2022.
➢ Merchandise exports in September 2022 stood at US$ 32.62 billion.
➢ PMI Services remained comfortably in the expansionary zone at 56.7 during April-September

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
Over the years, the Indian government has introduced many initiatives to strengthen the nation's
economy. The Indian government has been effective in developing policies and programmes that are
not only beneficial for citizens to improve their financial stability but also for the overall growth of the
economy. Over recent decades, India's rapid economic growth has led to a substantial increase in its
demand for exports. Besides this, a number of the government's flagship programmes, including Make
in India, Start-up India, Digital India, the Smart City Mission, and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and
Urban Transformation, are aimed at creating immense opportunities in India. In this regard, some of
the initiatives taken by the government to improve the economic condition of the country are
mentioned below:
➢ Home & Cooperation Minister Mr. Amit Shah, laid the foundation stone and performed Bhoomi
Pujan of Shri Tanot Mandir Complex Project under Border Tourism Development Programme in
Jaisalmer in September 2022.

ROAD AHEAD
In the second quarter of FY 2022-23, the growth momentum of the first quarter was sustained, and
high-frequency indicators (HFIs) performed well in July and August of 2022. India's comparatively
strong position in the external sector reflects the country's generally positive outlook for economic
growth and rising employment rates. India ranked fifth in foreign direct investment inflows among the
developed and developing nations listed for the first quarter of 2022.
India's economic story during the first half of the current financial year highlighted the unwavering
support the government gave to its capital expenditure, which, in FY 2022–23 (until August 2022),
stood 46.8% higher than the same period last year. The ratio of revenue expenditure to capital outlay
decreased from 6.4 in the previous year to 4.5 in the current year, signalling a clear change in favour
of higher-quality spending. Stronger revenue generation as a result of improved tax compliance,
increased profitability of the company, and increasing economic activity also contributed to rising
capital spending levels.
Despite the continued global slowdown, India's exports climbed at the second highest rate this
quarter. With a reduction in port congestion, supply networks are being restored. The CPI-C and WPI
inflation reduction from April 2022 already reflects the impact. In August 2022, CPI-C inflation was
7.0%, down from 7.8% in April 2022. Similarly, WPI inflation has decreased from 15.4% in April 2022
to 12.4% in August 2022. With a proactive set of administrative actions by the government, flexible
monetary policy, and a softening of global commodity prices and supply-chain bottlenecks,
inflationary pressures in India look to be on the decline overall.

GLOBAL MARKET
The global flexible packaging market was valued at $68.5 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach
$102.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2021 to 2031.
The finest characteristics of plastics and films are combined in flexible packaging. Such versatile
packaging supplies functional solution that requires minimal production costs. From consumer goods
Flexible plastic packaging uses a variety of plastic materials for the packaging of wide range of
products. The type of material used in packaging depends upon the application and type of product
to be packaged. Flexible plastic packaging typically uses plastic materials including polyethylene,
polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride. Flexible packaging is the most efficient and cost-
effective approach for preserving, distributing, and packaging food products, beverages,
pharmaceuticals, and a variety of consumables.
Increase in demand for snack and convenience food in small or single size portions fuels the growth
of the flexible packaging market. The packaging industry is moving toward flexible packaging, owing
to its multi-fold energy and environmental advantages. Moreover, growing concerns regarding the
use of bio-degradable plastics for flexible packaging and its impact on the environment have also
driven manufacturers to develop sustainable packaging options that are safe and secure. In order to
reduce the cost pressure and maintain the integrity of product packages, manufacturers are
considering sustainable packaging solutions that require fewer materials and energy to manufacture
a package, reduce transportation expenses, and offer extended shelf-life to the product. Flexible
packaging prevents moisture to enter in the packages and prevents corrosion. These advantages of
flexible packaging will drive the market growth during the forecast period. However, recycling of
plastic packaging waste is a complex process that requires state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities. It
is a time-consuming process that needs personnel expertise. This may hamper the growth of the
flexible packaging market.
Asia-Pacific is home to the world's largest working population. The need for packaging has been
increasing as a result of growth in population, rise in income levels, urbanization, change in lifestyles,
increase in internet penetration, and surge in development of the economy.

Plastic film is a continuous sheet of thin polymer material. "Sheet" is a common term for thicker plastic
material. These delicate plastic membranes are employed as barriers, to retain objects, to divide
spaces or volumes, and as printable surfaces.
• The growing e-commerce market and surge in demand for consumer goods and health products
are driving demand for packaging films. Further, the rise in food delivery services due to
maintaining hygiene and increasing investment in food delivery sectors post-pandemic are
essential factors supporting the market's growth.
• Furthermore, the rising demand from the retail sector for the extended shelf life of packaged
products and the consumers' demand for convenience products are augmenting the sales of
packaging films in the retail industry.
• The rapidly growing usage of films in food packaging is significantly contributing to the growth of
the packaging film market. This can be attributed to the increasing trend of down-gauging, which
has supported the shift from rigid to flexible packaging. A strong focus on extending product shelf
life and reducing packaging material waste, combined with a growing preference for packaged
fresh foods such as fruits, meat, vegetables, and seafood, have increased demand for packaging
films.
• However, the volatility of raw material prices, the ongoing drive for sustainability which includes
replacing plastic-based packaging products with biodegradable materials, and mandates of using
PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastics in response to growing environmental concerns are some
of the major factors hampering the market growth.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in the demand for film packaging. The
market experienced a marked increase in need through the rise in online shopping and food
takeaway, which has led to an upsurge in the amount of packaging film usage. At the same time,
the accelerated shift towards e-commerce resulted in a permanent plateau in production.
Further, the Russia-Ukraine war has an impact on the overall packaging ecosystem.

➢ Asia-Pacific and Europe Contribute to Healthy Growth Rate over the Forecast Period
• China is expected to account for the largest market share in the packaging films market of
the Asia Pacific region, majorly due to its large middle-class population, increasing disposable
incomes, and high demand for packaged food and pharmaceutical products. The increasing
pharmaceutical production in the region is significantly driving the growth of the packaging
film market in the region.
• The e-commerce sector's growing presence in Southeast Asian nations such as Thailand is
paving the way for packaging film in the region. Moreover, custom-made packaging films
and wraps are required for industrial applications involving industrial powders, granular
chemicals, lubricants, agricultural products, and other materials, which cater to market
growth.
• There have been various expansion activities by companies in the market to enhance their
geographical presence and position. For instance, in December 2021, PTL launched a BOPP
line in Indonesia as a part of its Southeast Asia expansion plans. With the start-up of the new
BOPP film line, a 10.6-meter line, the company aims to further strengthen the cost-
effectiveness of the operations in Indonesia due to economies of scale and improve its
industry positioning in the geography.
• The growing popularity of ready-to-eat meals that require safe packaging in the Asia Pacific
and the growth of the food and beverage industries create a significant demand for high-
quality and cost-effective packaging such as Cling films made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a
sustainable option for fresh food packing.

The India Plastic Packaging Market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% in the projected timeframe.
The growing preference for convenience and portability packaging continues to be a significant driver
of rigid plastics in food packaging. Also, the need for comfort, portability, and tensile strength remains
crucial for rigid plastics usage in the cosmetics & toiletries industry.
• Flexible packaging accounts for more than 60% of the market and is mainly used for food,
according to the Flexible Packaging Association. Since flexible packaging can offer solutions to
various packaging problems, the demand for flexible packaging is expanding. According to IBEF,
India's grocery and food market are the sixth-largest in the world, with 70% of sales coming from
retail. Also, food processing accounted for 32% of India's total food market and was rated fifth in
production, consumption, and export. It would propel the demand for flexible plastic in
packaging.
• The need for e-commerce packaging is developing in India due to the country's expanding
economy, growing middle class, changing lifestyles, and increasing population. The India Brand
Equity Foundation predicts that by 2026, the country's e-commerce market will reach USD 200
billion. The boom in internet and smartphone use is also driving the majority of the industry's
growth.
• Also, in July 2021, DRDO collaborated with Acharya Nagarjuna University, and Ecolastic Private
Limited introduced environmentally-friendly packaging products made from natural and plant-
based food-grade materials to eliminate single-use plastic. These bags are sustainable, cost-
effective, and ocean-safe alternatives to single-use plastics, unlike traditional polyethylene bags
created from petrochemicals, which are hazardous to the environment and take years to
degrade.
• According to Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, India is also making every effort to
secure a comprehensive ban on single-use plastic by 2022, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi
envisioned. The nation started the Plastic Hackathon 2021 campaign to raise awareness of single-
use plastics in June 2021, anticipating it hindering the market growth.
• Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the nutritional drinks and healthy food demand increased
exponentially. The majority of these products are packaged with single-use plastic. The orders
were so huge globally that the manufacturers and packaging companies in the field expanded
their facilities, which most governments supported. Further, the Russia-Ukraine war also
impacted the overall packaging ecosystem.

INK MARKET-INDIA
India has emerged as one of the largest consumers and producers of
inks in the Asia Pacific region. An ever increasing middle-class has
propelled the ink usage in most of the sub-segments of the industry.
Negative economic growth was the prime reason behind the decline in ink consumption in the country
in 2020. The Indian economy slowed down from its growth track on account of a stringent lockdown
imposed in March to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. India’s GDP declined by 7.3% in
fiscal 2020-21, for the first time in four decades. However, the medium-term growth outlook is
expected to improve and record a growth rate of approximately 7.3% by 2025 on account of strong
macroeconomic fundamentals, including moderate inflation, the implementation of key structural
reforms and the improved fiscal and monetary policies.
COVID-19 has resulted in a mixed impact on different segments. Though all businesses were severely
impacted in the country during March-June 2020 due to increased demand of packaged food items,
the flexible packaging segment started to make a quick recovery after June 2020 and soon stabilized
at near pre-COVID-19 levels. Other packaging segments also recovered and came close to pre-COVID-
19 levels by the last quarter of 2020.
The publication inks business, however, has had the severest impact. The newspaper industry is still
below pre-COVID-19 levels due to the drop in advertising revenue and circulation.
Decline in volume in ink production and consumption is evident from the financial numbers of some
of the ink producers in the country. For example, in 2020, DIC India’s ink business (the company
operates in two segments, inks and lamination adhesives) registered total sales revenue of INR 5.491
billion, a drop of 24% against sales of INR 7.262 billion in 2019.

market#:~:text=India%20Adhesives%20Industry%20Overview,(sorted%20alphabetically).
In the paints and coatings industry, ethyl acetate is used as a solvent for nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylic
lacquers, and other coating systems. The growth of the Indian construction industry has led to an
increase in demand for paints and coatings, which in turn has boosted the demand for ethyl acetate
as a solvent. The printing industry in India also uses ethyl acetate as a solvent for inks. Ethyl acetate-
based inks are fast-drying and produce high-quality prints, making them ideal for printing on a variety
of surfaces, including paper, plastic, and metal.
As per the Careerizma, the food processing business accounts for around $130 billion from overall
Indian food and beverage industry. It contributes 10% of agricultural GDP and 12% of manufacturing
GDP. Thus, the increasing demand for process solvents is expected to boost the India ethyl acetate
market during the forecast period.
Ethyl acetate is used as a purification solvent in the pharmaceutical industry to remove impurities and
contaminants from pharmaceutical compounds. It is a mild solvent that can dissolve many types of
impurities without affecting the purity of the active ingredient. Ethyl acetate is also growing in
popularity as a coating material for tablets and capsules to improve their appearance, taste, and
stability. It is used as a solvent for various pharmaceutical formulations, including injectables and oral
suspensions.

It offers its most whiteness and opacity when used in paintings. High concealing power, or the capacity
to hide or disguise the underlying substrate, is given to paint as a result. No other white pigment does
this function as well as it does. The most significant ingredient now employed by the paint industry
for whiteness and opacity is titanium dioxide pigment. Thus, Paints & Coatings is the primary driver of
the Titanium Dioxide market in India. It is frequently utilised in the paint and coatings industry because
it scatters visible light effectively and adds whiteness, brilliance, and opacity to coatings. The building,
construction, and automotive end-user industries are expanding quickly, which is causing a boom in
the paints and coatings industry. Apart from that, because of its non-toxic nature and UV absorption
properties, TiO2 is also suitable for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste, and even in
foodstuffs, which also augments the market. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is often used in the cosmetics
industry because it provides a high colour context, including greater intensity and brightness, helps
absorb oils produced by the skin, and shelters it from UV radiation.
The India Titanium Dioxide Market is segmented based on end-use, sales channel, and region. Based
on end-use, the India Titanium Dioxide market is segregated into Paints & Coatings, Plastic & Polymers,
and Others. Among these Paints & Coatings is dominating the Titanium Dioxide market. This segment
held roughly 60% of the Titanium Dioxide market in FY2022. Titanium dioxide is used in the paint and
coatings industry to increase opacity and endurance, to assure the paint's longevity, and maintain
freshness.
Geographically, the India Titanium Dioxide Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In
the historic period of FY2015-FY2022, West India has been dominating the market. In FY2022, West
India accounted for approximately 60% of the market. West India has been the frontrunner in the
consumption of Titanium Dioxide for a variety of uses due to the presence of significant paints &
coatings manufacturers like Asian Paints in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.

Diversification
Our Company shall continue to endeavor possibilities for exploring new market segments and product
portfolios to reach a broader customer base. Our commitment to innovation drives our future
endeavors. One such initiative is the import of non-IOCL polymer grades, which is poised to
significantly boost our turnover. We also plan to expand our product range further and explore new
avenues of growth i.e.
a) Aluminium Foil of SRF Limited which has uses in the application in household foil, flexible
packaging and pharma sector.
b) Different chemical of Solvay company which has uses and application in Binder, Adhesive, Paints,
Solvent, Floor Cleaning etc.
In line with our strategy to enhance our product portfolio, we shall foresee importing these products
presently not manufactured by IOCL at a better price to benefit our existing customers and add new
customers to the portfolio. The supply of these non-IOCL polymer grade granules is made by limited
suppliers in India. This gap in supply of these granules presents a promising chance for our company to
expand its offerings and meet the demand. Our group companies have a significant consumption
capacity of 972 MTs per month for this grade of granule. Further emphasizing our potential for
expanding granules supply within our group companies. Exploring imports and taking steps to fulfill the
demand for other grades of granules is a great diversification strategy. Our company has already been
importing these other grades of granules in previous years and has decided to increase these imports
on a large scale to fulfill the rising demand. This approach allows for increased market reach, and the
ability to cater to a wider range of customer needs, ultimately driving business expansion.
OUR PRODUCTS
Our product portfolio includes Plastic Granules, Plastic films, Ink, Master Batch, Adhesives, Ethyl, etc.
required to produce plastic packaging bags. A brief of the same is given below:
1. Plastic Granules
Plastic granules, also known as plastic pellets or resin, play
a crucial role in the manufacturing of diverse plastic
products. These small, granular plastic particles are
typically derived from either virgin or recycled plastic
materials, offering a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.
With extensive applications across industries such as
packaging, automotive, construction, electronics, and
consumer goods, plastic granules are widely utilized. The
production process involves melting and extruding plastic
materials into lengthy strips that are subsequently chopped
into smaller pellets or granules. These granules are then packaged and sold to manufacturers, serving
as essential raw materials for creating a wide range of plastic products.
a) HS BOPP
BOPP heat-sealable film is extensively utilized in
packaging, printing, and laminating for both food and
non-food applications. It possesses heat-sealable
properties on both sides and is specifically designed to
accommodate high-speed packaging machines. These
films find application in various packaging scenarios such
as teabag boxes, cigarette boxes, cassettes, CD bundles,
and more. Despite being thin, they provide robust and
sustainable packaging for the products they encase.
Noteworthy features of these films include exceptional
transparency, flexibility, high stretchability, dimensional
stability, aureole treatment on one or both sides, and waterproof properties, ensuring the safety of
the packaged goods.
b) MATT BOPP
Matte BOPP film typically refers to biaxially oriented
polypropylene film with a matte effect on one or both
sides. In packaging applications, one-side matte BOPP film
is the most commonly used variation. By default, when
referring to matte BOPP film, it implies one side is matte
while the other side is glossy, and both sides are corona
treated. This film offers excellent matte appearance,
contact clarity, slip, and antistatic properties. The matte
side is specially designed for optimal anchoring of UV
curable inks and coatings, while the treated glossy side
ensures excellent adhesion of lamination adhesive. It exhibits exceptional machinability and is suitable
for various lamination machines. It is ideal for laminating printed paper boards, posters, book covers,
and other applications where a superior matte appearance is desired.
e) PEARLISED BOPP
BOPP pearlized film offers various benefits such as
increased packaging efficiency, reduced manpower
requirements, cost savings, waterproofing, resistance
against dirt and breakage, and effective insulation and
protection of products. It is suitable for direct use in ice
cream, cold drink, and other beverage packaging.
Additionally, it serves as an excellent choice for pillow
packaging of candies, chocolates, and soap. The 30μm
thickness of double-sided sealing BOPP pearl film is
widely utilized in packaging biscuits, sweets, candies,
snacks, and more.
3. Polyester Films
Polyester films, derived from polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) resin, are a type of plastic film. PET,
a versatile thermoplastic polymer, is renowned for its
exceptional physical and mechanical properties.
Polyester films exhibit notable characteristics including
high tensile strength, dimensional stability,
transparency, and resistance to moisture, chemicals,
and UV radiation. They find widespread use in flexible
packaging, labels, electronic displays, solar panels, and
insulation materials. Moreover, polyester films can be
coated or laminated with other substances to enhance properties like barrier capabilities, adhesion,
and printability.
BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene), polyester, and CPP (Cast Polypropylene) films are widely
used in the packaging industry, but they differ in production process, material properties,
applications, and barrier properties.
1. Production Process: BOPP and polyester films are both produced using a biaxial orientation
process, whereas CPP films are produced using a cast extrusion process.
2. Material Properties: BOPP films are known for their excellent stiffness, clarity, and dimensional
stability. Polyester films have high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and heat resistance. CPP
films are softer and more flexible than BOPP and polyester films, with good sealing properties
and high transparency.
3. Applications: BOPP films are commonly used in the packaging of food and consumer products,
as well as in the labeling and lamination industries. Polyester films are used in applications that
require high strength, such as packaging of heavy products, insulation, and electrical
applications. CPP films are widely used in the packaging of snack foods, confectionery, and other
flexible packaging applications.
4. Barrier Properties: BOPP and CPP films have good barrier properties against moisture, oxygen,
and other gases, while polyester films have better gas barrier properties, making them suitable
for certain applications where high gas barrier is required.
Overall, each type of film has its unique properties and advantages, and the choice of film depends
on the specific requirements of the application.
5. Ink
Printing inks are important for providing information and
marketing on packaging. They can be used on various
packaging materials like plastics, paper, board, and cork. In
plastic packaging, inks are used to print details like product
information, logos, barcodes, and other important
information. It is crucial to use ink that is suitable for the
specific plastic material and can stick well to the surface of
the plastic film or container. This ensures that the printed
information is clear, durable, and stays intact on the
packaging.
Also, Offset printing ink, used in high-volume printing, is a paste-like substance made of pigments for
6. Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide is extensively utilized as a pigment in
printing inks. It plays a crucial role in white inks, providing
excellent opacity and hiding power to effectively cover the
underlying substrate, making the printed content more
visually appealing. Additionally, titanium dioxide is
employed in colored inks to enhance their color intensity
and brilliance, resulting in more vibrant and attractive
printed materials.
7. Master Batch
Masterbatch (MB) is a solid additive that serves the purpose
of coloring (color masterbatch) or enhancing other
properties (additive masterbatch) of plastic materials. It is
produced through a process called encapsulation, where a
concentrated blend of pigments and/or additives is mixed
with a carrier matrix resin using heat or twin-screw
extrusion. The resulting mixture is cooled and then cut into
granules. Masterbatch provides an economical solution for
coloring raw polymer, allowing processors to achieve
desired colors efficiently and cost-effectively.
8. Solventless Adhesives
Solventless adhesives are a type of glue that doesn't
contain any harmful chemicals called solvents. Solvents are
substances that help dissolve or thin out other substances,
but they can be harmful to the environment and human
health. Solventless adhesives, on the other hand, use
different methods to bond materials together without the
need for solvents. They often rely on chemical reactions or
heat to create a strong and durable bond. These adhesives
are considered safer and more environmentally friendly
compared to adhesives that use solvents.
Solventless adhesives are widely used in industries such as packaging, automotive, construction,
electronics, medical, and aerospace. They provide strong bonding without the use of harmful solvents,
ensuring safer and more environmentally friendly adhesive solutions. Solventless adhesives are
employed for applications including flexible packaging, automotive component bonding, construction
materials, electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, and aerospace composites, offering
reliable and durable bonding properties in these sectors.

COMPETITION
Competition within the plastic-based trading and dealership business is fierce and dynamic. Due to
this industry’s unorganized and fragmented nature with many small and medium-sized companies,
there is no authentic data available to our Company on total industry size and markets share of our
Company vis-a-vis the competitors. In the trading of plastic goods, the industry is largely unorganized
with minimal entry barriers, leading to a lot of players in the market. This saturation, coupled with
price-conscious consumers, intensifies the competition as businesses constantly strive to offer the
lowest prices to attract and retain customers. Meanwhile, in the dealership segment, the landscape is
crowded with numerous distributors representing the same brands, as well as competing with
products from major players like Reliance Polymers and Jindal Polyfilms and so on. As a result, success
in both these domains requires not only competitive pricing but also effective marketing, customer
service, and differentiation strategies to stand out in this bustling marketplace.

Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011
The Legal Metrology Act, 2009 (“LM Act”) seeks to establish and enforce standards of weights and
measures, regulate trade and commerce in weights, measures and other goods which are sold or
distributed by weight, measure or number. The LM Act and rules framed thereunder regulate, inter
alia, the labelling and packaging of commodities, verification of weights and measures used, and lists
penalties for offences and compounding of offences under it. The Controller of Legal Metrology
Department is the competent authority to grant the license under the LM Act. Any manufacturer
dealing instruments for weights and measuring of goods must procure a license from the state
department under the LM Act.
The Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 (“Packaged Commodities Rules”) were

Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the schemes formulated
there under
This Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (“EPF Act”) provides for the
institution of provident funds, family pension funds and deposit linked insurance fund for the
employees in the factories and other establishments. Accordingly, the following schemes are
formulated for the benefit of such employees:
(i) The Employees Provident Fund Scheme, 1952: As per this scheme, a provident fund is
constituted and both the employees and employer contribute to the fund at the rate of 12% (or
10% in certain cases) of the basic wages, dearness allowance and retaining allowance, if any,
payable to employees per month.
(ii) The Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995: Employees’ Pension Scheme is a pension scheme for
survivors, old aged and disabled persons. This scheme derives its financial resource by partial
diversion from the provident fund contribution, the rate being 8.33%. Thus, a part of contribution
representing 8.33% of the employee’s pay shall be remitted by the employer to the employees’
pension fund within fifteen (15) days of the close of every month by a separate bank draft or
cheque on account of the employees’ pension fund contribution in such manner as may be
specified in this behalf by the appropriate authority constituted under the EPF Act.
(iii) The Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976: As per this scheme, the contribution by
the employer shall be remitted by him together with administrative charges at such rate as the

2) The shareholders of the Company have, pursuant to Section 23 of the Companies Act 2013, by a
special resolution passed in the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on
authorized the Initial Public Offer.
Our results of operations have been, and will be, affected by many factors, some of which are beyond
our control. Our results of operations and financial conditions are affected by numerous factors
including the following:
A. Ability to expand the customer base and develop new products and generate new sales.
Customer relationships are the core of our business. Our ability to grow our customer base and
drive market adoption of our products is affected by the pace at which the demand of our
products grows. We expect that our revenue growth will be primarily driven by the pace of
adoption of our offerings. This will drive our ability to acquire new customers and increase sales
to existing customers, which in turn, will affect our future financial performance.
We have grown our operations by introducing quality products to meet potential requirements
of our customers and create market for our products. To service and grow our relationships with
our existing customers and to win new customers, we are required to provide them with products
that address their quality and other requirements, to anticipate and understand trends in their
relevant markets and to continually address their needs as those change and evolve.
Our future growth shall depend on our ability to identify emerging market trends, offer new
Our ability to remain competitive and profitable depend on our ability to source and maintain a
stable and sufficient supply of raw materials at cost effective prices. Historically, prices of basic
raw material costs have increased such as Gas and petroleum products which have a significant
effect on the cost of our finished goods and consequently our gross margins. We depend on
external suppliers for our materials on a purchase order basis and place such orders with them in
advance on the basis of our anticipated requirements. As a result, the success of our business is
significantly dependent on maintaining good relationships with our suppliers. For further
information on procurement of our raw materials, see “Our Business” on page 167.
The identity and correspondingly revenues from any customer or our top five customers may vary
between financial reporting years depending on the nature and term of ongoing contracts with
such customers. For the period ended September 30, 2023, and for the financial year ended on
March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, our top five customers across our business
accounted for Rs. 1602.55 lakhs, Rs 4511.48 lakhs, Rs 4134.88 lakhs, Rs 2547.33 lakhs and 29.15%,
28.72% ,24.18% and 24.92% of our revenue from operations, respectively, while our largest
customer accounted for Rs 1484.42 lakhs, Rs 1087.53 lakhs, and Rs 630.82 lakhs, respectively, of
our total revenue from operations in such periods. Thus, our Company is reliant on key customers
for our business and therefore any adverse developments in our relationships with our key
customers or a significant reduction in business from any such key customer may adversely
impact our results of operations, prospects and financial condition.
We have deployed a team of efficient and dedicated marketing professionals for the marketing
and promotion of our products. Our marketing team constantly monitors and scours the trends
in the market. Regular interaction is required to maintain the client base and to gain insight into
the specification needs of the diverse clientele. We constantly seek to grow our product reach
to underpenetrated geographies, increase the penetration of our products in markets in which
we are currently present and widen the portfolio of our products available in those markets by
growing our network. Our success is dependent on our ability to enter and expand our network
in new markets which is further dependent on our familiarity with the economic condition,
customer base and commercial operations in new regions. With limited presence, our ability to
gain market share is also dependent on our ability to compete with companies that may have an
existing strong presence.
However, we may not be successful in expanding our network or increasing our market presence.
Further, we may also face disruptions in selling our products for various reasons such as
transportation bottlenecks, raw material inaccessibility, competition activities, labor issues,
natural disasters, etc. which may result in disruptions to our business.
The Packaging industry in which we operate is subject to constant change. Packaging is among
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. Factors affecting our competitive success
include, amongst other things, price, demand for our products, availability of raw materials and
reliability. Our competitors vary in size, and may have greater financial, production, marketing,
personal and other resources than us and certain of our competitors may have longer history of
established businesses and reputation in the Indian packaging industry as compared to us.
Competitive conditions in some of our segments have caused us to incur net selling prices and
reduced gross margin s and net earnings. This condition may continue indefinitely. Our failure to
compete effectively, including any delay in responding to any changes in the industry and market,
may affect competitiveness of our products, which may result in a decline in our revenues and
profitability.
We are incorporated in India and we conduct our corporate affairs and our business in India.
Consequently, our business operations, financial performance and the market price of our Equity
Shares are affected by interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability,
and other political and economic developments affecting India.
Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian
economy or certain regions in India, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition along with the price of the Equity Shares.
H. Default or delay in payment by a significant portion of our customers, may have an adverse
effect on cash flows, result of operations and financial conditions.
We may encounter problems in executing the orders in relation to our products on timely basis
Moreover ,factors beyond our control or the control of our customers may postpone the delivery
of such products or cause it cancellation .Due to the possibility of cancellation or changes in scope
and schedule of delivery of such products resulting from our customers discretion or problems
we encounter in the delivery of such products or reasons outside our control ,we cannot predict
with certainty when, if or to what extent we may be able to deliver the orders placed .
Additionally, delays in the delivery of such products can lead to customers delaying or refusing to
pay the amount, in part or in full, that we expect to be paid in respect of such products. In
addition, even where a delivery proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the customers may
default or otherwise fail to pay amounts owned.

the value of the investments, if, in the opinion of the management, the same is other than
Current investments are carried out at lower cost and fair value determined on an individual
basis. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net
disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Investment Property
An investment in Land or building which is not intended to be occupied substantially for used
by, or in operations of, the company, is classified as Investment Property. Investment properties
are stated at cost less diminution value (other than temporary.)
Tangible Assets
The tangible items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, using the cost model as prescribed
under Accounting Standard, AS-10 "Property, Plant & Equipment". Cost of an item of property,
plant and equipment comprises of the purchase price, including import duties, if any, non-
refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, and costs that are
directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management and initial estimates of
decommissioning, restoring and similar liabilities. Subsequent costs related to an item of
property, plant & equipment are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item flow to the group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted
for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs & maintenance are
recognized in the statement of profit & loss during the operated period when they are
incurred. An item of property, Plant & equipment is derecognized on disposal or no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or losses arising from de-
recognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the assets are recognized in the statement of profit & loss when the assets
are de-recognized.
Property, plant, and equipment individually costing Rs. 5,000 or less are depreciated at 100% in
the year in which such assets are ready to use.
Depreciation is calculated using the Written down value method over their estimated useful
lives, at the rate provided in schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 on pro-rata basis. The
estimates of useful lives of tangible assets are as follows:
Class of Asset Useful life as per Schedule II Useful life as per Group
Computer 3 years 3 Years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 Years 10 Years
Office Equipment 5 Years 5 Years
Plant and Machinery 15 Years 15 Years
Factory Shed/Building 30 Years 30 Years
Inventories
Inventories of traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
comprises of all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. Cost formula used is FIFO.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
Impairment of Assets.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication exists, or when
annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the assets
recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash
generating units (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. Impairment losses of continuing
operations are recognized in the statement of profit & loss.
Accumulated leave
Which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months is treated as short term
employee benefit. The company measures the expected cost of such absences as the
additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has
accumulated at the reporting date.
Borrowing costs are interest, commitment charges and other costs incurred by an enterprise
in connection with Short Term/ Long-Term borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the
cost of the assets, up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. All other borrowing
costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are
incurred.
The earnings in ascertaining the Company's EPS comprises the net profit after tax
attributable to equity shareholders and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary
items. The number of shares used in computing basic EPS is the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to Equity Shareholders (including the post-tax effect
of extra ordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to
expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average
number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to
equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations.
Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the
period, unless they have been issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are
determined independently for each period.
x. Taxation
Tax expenses for the year comprising current tax & deferred tax are considered in
determining the net profit for the year. Provision is made for current tax and based on tax
liability computed in accordance with relevant tax laws applicable to the Company. Provision
is made for deferred tax for all timing difference arising between taxable incomes &
accounting income at currently enacted or substantively enacted tax rates, as the case may
be. Deferred tax assets (other than in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry
forward losses) are recognized only if there is reasonable certainty that they will be realized
and are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each Balance
Sheet date. Deferred tax assets, in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward
losses under tax laws are recognized only to the extent that where is virtual certainty
supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be recognized. Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred
Tax Liability are been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off
current tax assets against current tax liability and where the Deferred Tax Asset and Deferred
Tax Liability relate to Income taxes is levied by the same taxation authority.
(i) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past
event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
obligation.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past
events, the existence of which will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of
the amount cannot be made.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
In accordance with the Accounting Standard 17 “segment reporting “as prescribed under
companies (Accounting standard) Rules 2006 (as amended),as the company is covered under
categories of SMC companies ,the said accounting standard is not applicable to it .
Cash & cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations.
The company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date
of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amount of
cash to be cash equivalents.
xiv. Leases.
Where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the
leased Assets, are classified as “Operating leases”. Lease rentals with respect to assets taken
on operating lease are charged to profit & loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease which effectively transfer to the company substantially all the risk and benefits
incidental to the ownership of the leased item are classified as “Finance Lease. Assets
acquired on Finance lease are capitalized as assets by the company at the lower of the fair
value and the present value of the Minium lease payment and a liability is created for an
equivalent amount. Lease rental is apportioned between the liability and finance charge so
as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year.
Government grants /subsidies received towards specific fixed assets have been deducted
from the gross value of the concerned fixed assets and grants /subsidies received during the
year towards revenue expenses have been reduced from the respective expenses. Export
benefits/incentives are accounted for on an accrual basis. Accordingly, estimated export
benefits against export effected during the year are taken into account as estimated
incentives accrued till the end of the year. In case of Licenses not revalidated after the date
of expiry, the proportionate export benefit/incentive taken credit in earlier year (s) is written
off in the year of expiry of license.

PHASED IMPLEMENTATION OF UPI FOR BIDS BY RETAIL INDIVIDUAL BIDDERS AS PER THE UPI
CIRCULAR
SEBI has issued the SEBI UPI circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of, among
others, equity shares. Pursuant to the SEBI UPI Circulars, the UPI mechanism has been introduced in
a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account
maintained with SCSBs under the ASBA) for Bids by UPI Bidders through designated intermediaries
with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working
Days to up to three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the
systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment Mechanism, the SEBI UPI
Circular have introduced the UPI Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
• Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five
main board public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of
Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a Retail Individual Bidder had the option
to submit the ASBA Form with any of the designated intermediaries and use his / her UPI ID for the
purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing continue to be
six Working Days.
• Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a
period of three months or floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI, vide its
circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019 has decided to extend
the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase II until March 31, 2020. Subsequently, SEBI, vide its
circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 extended the timeline for
implementation of UPI Phase II till further notice. Under this phase, submission of the ASBA Form
by UPI Bidders through Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for blocking of funds
has been discontinued and replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from
public issue closure to listing continues to be six Working Days during this phase.
• Phase III: This phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after
September 1, 2023 and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023,
vide SEBI circular bearing number SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 ("T+3
Notification”). In this phase, the time duration from public issue closure to listing has been reduced
to three Working Days. The Issue shall be undertaken pursuant to the processes and procedures
Pursuant to the SEBI UPI Circular, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor
grievances for applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of
the SEBI UPI Circular include, appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of their
details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI
mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted
applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful Bidders to be unblocked not
later than one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the
accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities
law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints in this regard, the
relevant SCSB as well as the post – Issue BRLM will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
The Issue will be made under UPI Phase II of the SEBI UPI Circulars, unless UPI Phase III of the SEBI UPI
