Business Model Operations

Business Model: Faith Industries operates on a B2B model, supplying PVC and CPVC additives to industrial processors.

Risks Management Outlook

Key Risks:

  1. Disruption at the Santej manufacturing facility due to fire and the resulting dependence on third-party job workers.
  2. Customer concentration: Top 10 customers account for 58.58% of revenue.
  3. Geographic concentration: Over 46% of revenue is derived from Gujarat.
  4. Raw material supply risks due to a lack of long-term contracts.


Legal Cases:

  1. Against Company: 12 TDS-related tax proceedings (₹2.04 lakhs) and one material civil suit for recovery (₹23.76 lakhs).
  2. Against Promoters: One tax demand of ₹5,780 against Karan Kankariya.


Red Flags:

  1. Decreasing conversion of EBITDA to operating cash flow and decreasing Free Cash Flow.
  2. Untraceable historical corporate records and inadvertent errors in RoC filings.
  3. History of delayed filings for statutory dues like EPF and ESIC.


Debtors Age Analysis (FY26):

  1. Undisputed: ₹1,678.23 lakhs are less than 180 days old; ₹7.94 lakhs are over 3 years old.
  2. Disputed: ₹156.45 lakhs total, with ₹112.15 lakhs aged 1-2 years.


Management Commentary on Trends: Management identifies a structural industry shift toward non-lead-based and organic stabilizers. The broader industry outlook suggests sustained long-term growth driven by domestic consumption and global supply chain diversification (e.g., China plus one).


Growth Plans: Priorities include repaying debt (₹2,450 lakhs from IPO proceeds), restoring the Santej facility, expanding the distribution network, and innovating new product formulations.
