IPO's Strengths

The following promising industry conditions support the IPO:

• Capital Goods, valued at US$ 43.2 billion in FY22, contribute 12% to manufacturing output and 1.8% to GDP. In FY21, electrical equipment imports totalled 16.1 billion dollars, and by 2025, domestic markets are expected to grow by 72 billion dollars. 
  
  
• With demand expected to rise to US$400 billion by 2025, India's electronics manufacturing industry will be worth US$520 billion by then. The government supports the growth of the industry with initiatives like 'Digital India' and 'Make in India'. 
  
  
• With a CAGR of 9.3%, the Indian chemicals industry is projected to reach US$304 billion by 2025. As a result of domestic demand and exports, specialty chemicals are expected to grow substantially. 
  
  

IPO's Weaknesses

There are legal proceedings that could affect Aztec Fluids & Machinery Limited's profitability, focus, and net worth. Lead Tech's exclusive distributorship and Fluidtech's manufacturing agreement are crucial to the company's operations. 

• A company's net worth, profitability, and management focus are at risk from outstanding legal proceedings involving its directors and promoters. It is possible for adverse decisions to negatively impact financials, operations, and the overall prospects of the business. 

• The company has been the exclusive distributor of Lead Tech (Zhuhai) Electronic Co., Ltd. The agreement is valid until December 06, 2026, and it prohibits any product customizations without the approval of the company. 

• The company currently manufactures printer consumables but plans to discontinue this as Fluidtech now manufactures their inks and consumables exclusively for them. There would be a negative impact on operations if this agreement was terminated or modified.
