The report was prepared and submitted by CARE Ratings Limited, the appointed Monitoring Agency, and was signed by Y. Tejeswari Reddy, Associate Director, on May 12, 2026. The filing covers the utilisation status of proceeds from the company's Initial Public Offering conducted during September 20–22, 2023.

IPO Issue Details

The IPO was a public fresh issue of equity shares, with the company offering 2,70,27,027 equity shares at Rs.222 per share, aggregating to Rs.600 crore. The issue was fully subscribed, and the same number of equity shares was allotted to applicants. After accounting for issue-related expenses, the net proceeds available for utilisation stood at Rs.566.24 crore. The following table summarises the key financial parameters of the issue:

Particulars: Details Total Shares Issued and Subscribed (Fresh Issue @ Rs.222 per share): 2,70,27,027 Total Proceeds Received from IPO (Rs. Crore): 600.00 IPO Issue Expenses (Rs. Crore): 33.76 Net Proceeds Available for Utilisation (Rs. Crore): 566.24

Utilisation of Net Proceeds as of March 31, 2026

As of March 31, 2026, a cumulative amount of Rs.526.85 crore had been utilised out of the total net proceeds of Rs.566.24 crore, leaving Rs.39.38 crore unutilised. The following table details the progress against each stated object:

Object: Amount as per Offer Document (Rs. Crore) Amount Utilised at End of Quarter (Rs. Crore) Unutilised Amount (Rs. Crore) Funding capex for setting up of 30 new stores: 125.08 103.81 18.91 Funding capex for setting up of two new warehouses: 25.40 4.93 20.47 Funding working capital requirements: 280.07 282.43 (2.36) Repayment/pre-payment of certain borrowings: 50.00 50.00 0.00 General Corporate Purposes (GCP): 85.69 85.69 0.00 Total: 566.24 526.85 39.38

During Q4FY26 alone, Rs.65.41 crore was utilised across the various objects. Under Object 1, three new stores were opened during the quarter, taking the total to 25 stores set up using IPO funds. Payments under Object 2 were made to various vendors towards setting up a warehouse through the monitoring account. Objects 4 (loan repayment) and 5 (GCP) were reported as fully utilised.

Deviations and Reallocation of Funds

The Monitoring Agency noted that utilisation was not entirely as per the disclosures in the Offer Document, citing the following key observations:

Timeline deviation: There has been a deviation in the timelines for utilisation of funds under Objects 1 and 2. The Board of Directors has approved an extension of timelines for a further six months, i.e., up to September 30, 2026.

Reallocation: An amount of Rs.2.36 crore, originally earmarked under Object 1 (setting up of 30 new stores), was utilised towards Object 3 (working capital requirements), following Board approval. This arose from savings of Rs.24.82 crore achieved through better negotiations and lower costs in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

No material deviation: The deviation in the amount spent towards Object 3 is within 10% as of March 31, 2026, and shareholder approval was therefore not required.

Revised means of finance: The means of finance for Objects 1 and 3 have been revised; however, the overall proceeds allocated towards the objects specified in the IPO document remain unchanged at Rs.566.24 crore.

Major deviation vs. earlier report: The revision in funding towards Objects 1 and 3 was not envisaged at the time of the earlier monitoring report for Q3FY26.

The Monitoring Agency also noted a delay in utilisation of funds towards setting up new stores, warehouses, and towards general corporate purposes relative to the timelines stated in the Offer Document.

Deployment of Unutilised Proceeds

The remaining unutilised funds of Rs.39.38 crore were deployed as follows as at the end of the quarter:

Instrument: Amount Invested (Rs. Crore) Maturity Date Earnings (Rs. Crore) Return on Investment Market Value (Rs. Crore) Fixed Deposit – HDFC Bank: 40.00 8 FDs dated 07/03/2027 0.18 6.71% 40.18 Balance in IPO Monitoring Account: 0.11 – – – 0.11 Total Funds in FD and Monitoring A/c: 40.11 0.18 40.29 (-) Interest Earned on FDs: 0.72 Total Unutilised Funds: 39.38
