The company designs, manufactures, and installs high-voltage power transmission towers and substation structures for utility and private energy firms. It operates as an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, earning revenue through large-scale infrastructure projects and specialized tower testing services.
The company lacks a durable moat as evidenced by extremely low average ROCE and highly volatile margins that fluctuate with project cycles and raw material costs. While it possesses technical expertise in HVDC projects and specialized testing facilities, these are commodity-like services in a competitive bidding environment where the company lacks significant pricing power.
Capital allocation has been focused on recovering from a prior insolvency process, primarily using fresh equity infusions from rights issues and warrant conversions to restart idle manufacturing plants and fund working capital. Historical returns on capital are poor, and recent spending is directed toward basic capacity restoration rather than high-return innovation.
The company's attempt to emerge from insolvency collapsed as the 2021 Resolution Plan failed to generate sufficient cash flow to cover its massive debt burden. Despite repeated equity infusions through rights issues, the capital was consumed by working capital needs and plant restarts rather than productive growth. The lack of audited financials for overseas subsidiaries eventually masked a liquidity crisis, and the leadership vacuum following the loss of the Chairman and CEO led to a total loss of operational control, leaving shareholders diluted into oblivion while the business returned to a state of insolvency.
