Vulnerability to governmental rules and agro-climatic risk
The primary ingredient used to make sooji, maida, and aata is wheat. Agro-climatic conditions are the primary determinant of wheat production. Any unfavourable shift in the agro-climatic conditions could cause the supply chain for wheat to break. Furthermore, the government's strict regulation of wheat prices through the Minimum Support Price (MSP) could put pressure on AIPL's profitability. The Company also faces competition from both the organised and unorganised business in this industry which tends to put pressure on the margins of the Company.
