Rs. 100 million has been paid back already, and another minimum Rs. 250 million shall be paid before the close of this quarter (Q4_FY22).

As a measure of backward integration, the Company has commissioned a Steel Pipe Fittings plant, which after trial production, went into commercial production almost 2 months ahead of schedule.
With increasing economic activities and governments thrust on infrastructure development, there is a huge demand for fittings by all major steel tube manufacturers like APL Apollo, Jindal, Hi-tech, etc. They prefer sourcing from the vendors who have inhouse steel tube fitting manufacturing facilities.
Considering it as a long-term opportunity, which not only enhances the company’s revenues, product basket, profitability but also mitigates concentration risk, the company has successfully bagged commercial-scale orders. Since the production of fittings and their supplies are much ahead of their scheduled targets, Vikas is expecting a good revenue contribution of this newly added business segment.
The company has been most recently empanelled as an approved vendor with the U.P. State Horticultural Co-Operative Marketing Federation (HOFED), a UP Govt. Enterprise.
It’s the first of its kind of empanelment for Vikas Ecotech that too alongside other industry conglomerates like Supreme Industries, Advance Biocare, Stellar Polyplast etc.
