Dependence on few customers– More than 30% of its revenue is derived from one customer – Daikin Airconditioning India and over 70% of the revenue is from 10 key customers. Delay or cancellation of orders by any one or all of the top customers could have an adverse effect on business

Margin concerns- The PAT for the company in past three financial years has been increasing at 54.52%. However, in case it is not able to sustain these levels, it might be a source of worry.
