Weaknesses

The company is relatively smaller player in the plastic pipes business which exposes it to intense competition.

There are other companies viz. Tijaria Industries Limited, Tijaria Vinyl Private Limited, and Tijaria International Limited promoted by Promoters, which may engage in the lines of business similar to the company.

It has high working capital requirements. In case of any insufficiency of cash flow to meet working capital requirements or pay short term debt obligations, there may be adverse effect on the results of its operations

A significant portion of total sales are made to various government contractors and payments from them may be delayed as these government contractors receive back to back payment from the relevant Government departments. In the event of any such delay in payment from the government contractors, its cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.

The company does not have experience in its diversification project of manufacturing yarns.

Valuation

The company's net sales has grown by 7% to Rs 118.6 crore and net profit by just 2% to Rs 6.9 crore for FY11. The operating profit margin declined by 60 bps to 11.2%. It has produced 8197 MT for HDPE Pipe, 3090 MT for PVC Pipe, 336 MT for Pet Flakes in FY11.
