Industry

India stands as the third-largest producer and consumer of electricity globally, with an installed power capacity of 423.35 GW as of July 31, 2023. The country experienced its highest power generation growth rate in over three decades during FY23, with an 8.87% increase to 1,624.15 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh). In FY24, until July 2023, power generation reached 585.47 billion units (BU). From FY10 to FY23, electricity generation in India grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.75%.

The demand for electricity is projected to rise further, driven by expanding industrial activity, a growing population, increased electrification, and higher per-capita usage. Power consumption in FY23 saw a 9.5% growth to 1,503.65 BU, up from 1,374.02 BU in FY22. India's electricity generation from both renewable and non-renewable sources was 1,373.08 BU in FY21, 1,484.36 BU in FY22, and 1,617.72 BU in FY23, reflecting a consistent upward trend in power production.

Risk to the issue:

• Voltamp Transformers Limited is the key customer, providing approximately 41% of revenue to the company. Further the top 5 customers hold approximately 67% of revenue from operations. Any loss of such customers may affect the business.
• The company don’t enter into any firm supply agreements with customers. If our customers choose not to source their requirements from them, their business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
• The company is totally dependent on the power distribution sector, any economic cyclicality in the sector may affect the business of the company. The demand for power is sensitive to factors such as consumer demand, seasonal fluctuations, consumer confidence, disposable income levels and general economic conditions.
• CRGO Electrical lamination accounts for more than 75% of sales revenue. Such reliance on a single product for a major portion of revenue might harm the company if any disruption happens in the same.
• The company faces competition in Indian and overseas market, based on many factors, including product quality and reliability, product design and innovation, manufacturing capabilities and price.
