Vibhor Steel Tubes Limited IPO’s sole book running lead manager (BRLM) is Khambatta Securities Ltd, and the registrar to the issue is KFin Technologies.

Here are some of the key risks listed by the company in its Red-Herring Prospectus (RHP):

• The company and Jindal Pipes Limited have long-term agreements in place for the purchase of the items; in the event that these agreements are disrupted, the business’s income and outcomes would be impacted.
• The firm depends on Jindal Pipes Limited for a significant percentage of its income; in fact, over 90% of the company’s revenue comes from just one client. Jindal Pipes Limited’s business, operational outcomes, and financial situation might be significantly harmed by a cancellation, delay, or reduction in their orders.
• The firm has long-term contracts with Steel Authority of India Limited and JSW Steel Limited, sometimes known as “Raw Material Suppliers,” and as such, any disruption in those agreements would have an impact on their costs, revenues, and outcomes.
• Their capacity to run their firm may be impacted by the restrictive covenants or conditions attached to certain of the borrowings.
• The company has disclosed certain negative cash flows from its financing, investment, and operating operations.
• There are times when the business fails to pay statutory obligations on time. Any more late payments of statutory obligations might result in fines from the relevant government agencies and could seriously harm the company’s cash flows and financial situation.
• The company requires a lot of working cash. There might be a negative impact on the business’s operational outcomes if it does not generate enough cash flow to cover its working capital obligations.
• Any disruption in the supply of raw materials or rise in the cost of materials, fuel, labour, or other inputs might have a negative impact on the company’s profitability and operational outcomes.
• The company’s operations are mostly focused in two states, and these states’ distinct characteristics have an impact on the business.
• A significant portion of their existing assets are trade receivables and inventory. Their net sales, profitability, cash flow, and liquidity might all suffer if they don’t manage the same.
