DPEL is focusing on domestic-driven revenue to mitigate this. commodity risks are HIGH, with global volatility in Copper and Aluminum projected to increase procurement costs by 5-8%, which may only be partially passed on to transformer manufacturers. logistics risks are MEDIUM, as disruptions in Gulf shipping routes increase lead times and domestic freight costs, potentially extending the Cash Conversion Cycle by 10-15 days. regulatory risks involve an ongoing Scheme of Amalgamation with Viraj Upkram Private Limited, requiring promoter reclassification. litigation and fx risks remain LOW or EMERGING.

Bottom Line
