As per the disclosure submitted under Regulation 32 of SEBI (LODR), 2015 concerning the utilization of the Rights Issue proceeds, an amount of 13.70 crore was initially allocated for the construction of a warehouse. However, due to unforeseen challenges in project execution, the contract for warehouse construction has been withdrawn. The reasons for the withdrawal include:

The chosen land location for the warehouse was found to be unsuitable due to logistical and accessibility constraints. Efficient transportation and connectivity are crucial for warehouse facilities, and the selected site failed to meet these requirements, making long-term operations impractical.
