Know before investing

Strengths

4
  1. Sanstar Limited has demonstrated impressive growth, with a Revenue and PAT CAGR of 57% and 71% respectively over Fiscal 2021-2023, indicating strong operational efficiency and market acceptance.

  2. The company operates two major facilities in Gujarat and Maharashtra with a combined installed capacity of 3,63,000 tons per annum, enabling large-scale production and supply capabilities.

  3. Sanstar Limited exported to 49 countries across multiple continents in the first half of Fiscal 2023, showcasing its broad international presence and acceptance of its speciality products.

  4. The Dhule facility features state-of-the-art automation with SCADA and PLC systems, which enhances production efficiency and quality while minimising costs and errors.

Risks

4
  1. Sanstar Limited lacks fixed contracts for maize procurement, its primary raw material, making it vulnerable to price fluctuations and supply disruptions. This instability could severely impact their profitability as raw material costs constituted up to 85.71% of their expenses in recent fiscal periods.

  2. The company requires substantial working capital to purchase and store maize during its peak arrival season. Insufficient funds during this critical time could hinder operations, as they spent ₹2,970.83 million to ₹6,025.94 million annually on raw materials.

  3. Ongoing litigation could adversely affect the company if resolved unfavourably. Legal proceedings increase potential liabilities and expenses, potentially damaging the company's financial health and market reputation.

  4. The recent amalgamation with Sanstar Biopolymers and the acquisition of ECL could lead to integration challenges. Discrepancies in financial statements or operational hurdles post-merger may affect overall business performance.
