Business Overview

The Company is engaged in the business of distribution and retailing of Auto Liquefied Petroleum Gas. The operations are carried out through a network of Auto LPG Dispensing Stations owned and operated by the Company. In addition to retail outlets, the Company has developed storage and allied infrastructure facilities to support the distribution and supply of Auto LPG.

The Companys network is presently spread across the states of Telangana, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. The retail operations are structured to cater to the requirements of the transport sector, with Auto LPG being marketed as an alternative automotive fuel. The Companys infrastructure includes storage, handling, and dispensing facilities designed to meet regulatory standards applicable to Auto LPG distribution.

The business model of the Company is based on the sale of Auto LPG to end consumers through its ALDS network. The Company procures Auto LPG from suppliers and undertakes storage, transportation, and distribution to its dispensing stations. The revenues are primarily derived from the retail sale of Auto LPG at its outlets. With a strong foundation of infrastructure, technical expertise, and regulatory compliance, we are strategically positioned to capitalize on the rising demand for green and efficient fuel solutions. Our growth trajectory is supported by:

- Expanding ALDS network across multiple states

- Emphasis on safety, sustainability, and compliance

- Diversified service offerings that complement the core retail LPG business

- Strategic collaborations and third-party partnerships for specialized manufacturing and engineering solutions

Material Developments after Last financial Period that may affect the future results of operations

Except as stated below and elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, there have been no circumstances that have arisen since the date of the last financial statements, i.e. March 31, 2026, as disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, which materially and adversely affect or are likely to affect our operations, profitability, or the value of our assets or our ability to pay our liabilities within the next 12 months.

Commissioning of new Auto LPG Dispensing Stations: Subsequent to March 31, 2026, our Company has commissioned two additional Auto LPG Dispensing Stations, namely the Shastripuram outlet and the Babanagar outlet. These outlets have commenced retail dispensing operations and form part of our ongoing strategy of expanding our ALDS network in our existing operating geographies. The commissioning of these two outlets is expected to contribute incremental throughput volumes and, correspondingly, incremental revenue from operations in Fiscal 2027. The outlets have been funded out of internal accruals and existing borrowings, and are also expected to result in incremental outlet-level operating costs, principally outlet rent, operator commission, power and fuel and outlet/site maintenance expenses, together with a higher depreciation charge on the assets capitalised in respect of these outlets. As these outlets were commissioned after the end of Fiscal 2026, their financial effect is not reflected in the Restated Financial Information included in this Red Herring Prospectus.

Borrowings availed after March 31, 2026: Subsequent to March 31, 2026, our Company has availed a term loan of Rs75.89 lakhs from L&T Finance Limited on May 22, 2026 and a term loan of Rs125.00 lakhs from ICICI Bank Limited on May 26, 2026, the aggregate amount outstanding in respect of which was Rs193.99 lakhs as on August 25, 2026. Further, the overdraft facility availed from HDFC Bank Limited has increased from Rs207.50 lakhs as on March 31, 2026 to Rs237.16 lakhs as on August 25, 2026. Consequently, the total indebtedness of our Company has increased from Rs1,605.97 lakhs as on March 31, 2026 to Rs1,650.36 lakhs as on August 25, 2026. For details, see "Objects of the Issue" on page 78.

Other than as disclosed above, there are no material developments after the date of the last financial statements, i.e. March 31, 2026, that may affect our future results of operations.

Particulars Fiscal 2026 vs Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2025 vs Fiscal 2024
Revenue from Operations Revenue from operations increased by 12.16%, from Rs8,983.83 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs10,075.82 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Revenue from operations increased by 20.53%, from Rs7,453.80 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs8,983.83 lakhs in Fiscal 2025.
Reason for Increase: The growth was driven entirely by the core Auto LPG retail business, where sale of goods increased by 17.23%, from Rs8,594.73 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs10,075.82 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. This reflects higher throughput volumes across our ALDS network, the full-year contribution of the outlets commissioned during Fiscal 2025 and improved realisations. The increase was partly offset by the absence of service income during Fiscal 2026, as no signing amounts against outlets (Rs164.10 lakhs in Fiscal 2025) or consultancy services (Rs225.00 lakhs in Fiscal 2025) were recognised during the year, these being non-recurring in nature. Reason for Increase: This growth is attributable to multiple reinforcing factors. First, the overall throughput volume across our outlets rose significantly, reflecting higher consumer demand and operational efficiency. In parallel, margins also improved during the year, resulting in a stronger contribution to profitability. Additionally, we successfully commissioned new outlets during the period, which generated incremental sales volumes and further augmented the overall performance and Increase in sale of LPG by 21.54%.
Other Income Other income increased by 90.00%, from Rs1.00 Lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs1.90 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Due to increase in interest on deposits from Rs0.61 Lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs1.90 lakhs in Fiscal 2026 consequent to the higher fixed deposits placed during the year, partly offset by the absence of foreign exchange gain (Rs0.39 Lakhs in Fiscal 2025). Other income increased significantly from Rs0.03 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs1.00 Lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Due to Foreign exchange gains increased from Rs0.00 Lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs0.39 Lakhs in Fiscal 2025 and interest on deposits increased from Rs0.03 Lakhs to Rs0.61 Lakhs.
Cost of Material Consumed Increased by 12.73%, from Rs6,019.71 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs6,786.29 lakhs in Fiscal 2026.

Decreased by 20.98%, from Rs269.22 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs212.74 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Due to Decrease in directors remuneration from Rs144.00 lakhs to Rs83.65 lakhs.
Finance Costs Decreased by 14.56%, from Rs188.57 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs161.11 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Due to scheduled repayment of term loans and unsecured borrowings during the year, with interest on term loans decreasing from Rs100.31 lakhs to Rs90.47 lakhs, interest on working capital from Rs25.06 lakhs to Rs19.41 lakhs and interest on unsecured loans from banks / financial institutions from Rs63.19 lakhs to Rs51.23 lakhs. Increased by 26.89%, from Rs148.60 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs188.57 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Due to increase in borrowings in the last quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Depreciation Expenses Increased by 17.11%, from Rs105.87 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs123.98 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Due to Addition of plant and machinery of Rs99.74 lakhs and civil structures on ALDS of Rs85.08 lakhs during the year, together with the full-year depreciation charge on assets capitalised during Fiscal 2025.

Increased by 39.46%, from Rs1,020.05 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs1,422.61 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Due to Higher commission expenses (from Rs357.06 lakhs to Rs508.34 lakhs), outlet & office rent (from Rs348.59 Lakhs to Rs495.16 lakhs), outlet/site maintenance (from Rs171.99 lakhs to Rs223.26 lakhs), and professional charges (from Rs0.38 Lakhs to Rs34.53 lakhs).
Tax Expenses Increased by 22.73%, from Rs260.40 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs319.60 lakhs in Fiscal 2026.

Profit After Tax (PAT) Increased by 21.99%, from Rs774.94 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 to Rs945.35 lakhs in Fiscal 2026. Reason for Increase: The improvement was driven by higher throughput across our ALDS network and the full-year operation of the outlets commissioned during Fiscal 2025, supported by a reduction in employee benefit expenses and finance costs. These together more than offset the increase in outlet-related operating costs and the absence of the one-time service income recognised in Fiscal 2025. Increased by 34.99%, from Rs574.08 lakhs in Fiscal 2024 to Rs774.94 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Reason for Increase: Collectively, the combination of increased throughput, enhanced margins, and the addition of new outlets translated into higher revenue as well as an uplift in total profitability during Fiscal 2025.

Liquidity and capital resources

Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been to finance the working capital needs of our Auto LPG Dispensing Stations (ALDS) operations. These requirements have been met through cash flows generated from operations, equity infusions by shareholders, and borrowings. As of March 31, 2026, we had Rs417.33 lakhs in cash in hand, Rs171.63 lakhs as balances with banks, and Rs1,605.98 lakhs in outstanding loans. We believe that, after considering the expected cash flows from our ALDS operations, our borrowings, and the proceeds from the Issue, we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our current obligations as well as the anticipated requirements for capital expenditure and working capital over the next 12 months.

Looking ahead, our capital requirements will depend on various factors, including the pace of our growth, the expansion of our ALDS network in central and northern India, and investments to enhance our operational capacity. Accordingly, we may seek additional equity or debt financing in the future.
