Bull vs Bear
Bull case
- •
Supplier concentration also signals scale buying power: top 10 suppliers formed 84.35% of FY2025 purchases, and the largest supplier handled 34.76%.
- •
Institutional-led commercial printing capacity is sizable: FY2025 utilization was 18,700 tonnes -82.0% on installed capacity of 22,800 tonnes.
- •
Industry tailwind: Indian paper packaging market projected to reach USD 47.54 billion by 2034 at ~10.71% CAGR, aligning with their packaging entry in Mid-November 2024.
Bear case
- •
Promoter-group relatives were impleaded in DRT recovery proceedings for ₹10,009.48 lakhs related to RPML, later declared a willful defaulter on June 30, 2024.
- •
Purchases are highly concentrated: top 10 suppliers were 84.35% of FY2025 purchases and the largest supplier was 34.76%, without long-term contracts.
- •
Revenue mix is concentrated: Notebook & Paper Stationery was 53.17% and Commercial Printing 45.72% of FY2025 revenue; demand/pricing shifts hit results quickly.
Net takeaway
At its core this is a bet on financial scaling: revenue from operations ₹13,158.43 lakhs (FY2023) to ₹25,064.56 lakhs (FY2025) with PAT margin 4.22% (FY2025). If you believe their expansion converts into cash discipline (DSCR 1.93 in FY2025), the upside holds. If DSCR slips toward 1.01 (FY2024), the risk holds. Keep watching working-capital stretch: working capital cycle 134 days (FY2025) and trade receivable turnover 4.18x (FY2025) versus 9.35x (FY2023).
