RISKS AND CONCERNS
The Company faces the following Risks and Concerns:
Economic Risk
A part of business is substantially dependent on the prevailing global economic conditions. Factors that
may adversely affect the global economy and in turn India’s economic growth, that could affect the
demand for copper and other non ferrous and ferrous metal products
Competition Risk
This risk arises from more players wanting a share in the same pie. Like in most other industries,
opportunity brings with itself competition.
Trade Risk
Our business can be affected by the rise and fall in the levels of price and import of copper in the country.
As per a Bloomberg report, in 2017 alone, 62,000 fewer tones of copper will come to market than
previously expected. Global copper demand may continue to grow at a moderate pace as China, which
accounted for 45% of global demand in 2015, transitions toward an economy driven by domestic
consumer spending rather than government infrastructure investment.
Regulatory Risk
If we are unable to obtain required approvals and licenses in a timely manner, our business and operations may be adversely affected. We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating and expanding capacities at our plants
Liability Risk
This risk refers to our liability arising from any damage to products, equipment, plant & machinery, life
and third parties which may adversely affect our business. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk
through contractual obligations and insurance policies.
Execution Risk
The Company has undertaken number of orders in the last year and several more are in the pipeline.
Order execution is largely dependent upon sourcing of raw materials and timely manufacturing. Any
delay in project implementation can impact revenue and profit for that period. Our implementation
schedules are in line with the plans
Commodity Price Risk/Foreign Exchange Risk and Hedging Activities
The Company is subject to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations. The Company
proactively manages these risks through forward booking Inventory management and proactive vendor
development practices.The Company’s payables and receivables are in foreign currency and due to fluctuations in foreign exchange prices, it is subject to foreign exchange risks. The Company has in place a risk management framework for identification and monitoring and mitigation of foreign exchange risks. The company has entered into foreign exchange forward, option and futures contracts to manage its exposure to exchage rate fluctuations, in accordance with its risk management policies.
