High entry barriers to replace or substitute critical products:
Company’s products are critical to the overall productivity of a mineral processing
site. Mineral processing sites do not tend to switch to a substitute supplier, even
if the product offered by a new entrant or established substitute supplier is comparatively
cheaper. This is due to the high cost of initial planning involved, the lead time
required for approval, degree of certainty of the products of an established supplier,
the high cost of downtime or shutdown of a site and relatively lower percentage
cost of their components in the total operating costs of a mineral processing site.
Since mineral processing sites ordinarily refrain from switching and remain with
an existing approved supplier, they have the flexibility to maintain high margins
throughout the period of their association with a mineral processing site. It takes
from 9 months to 1 year to become an approved supplier at every customer site and
once approved, these approvals do not have an expiry period.
Insulated from mining capex cycle as the products cater to after-market spends:
Company’s products cater to the after-market spend of a mining processing
unit. After-market spend is typically 3 times of the upfront capex spend over the
lifecycle of a mill, and is a recurring cost for miners. After-market spend for
a mining processing unit comprises regular operating expenses which include costs
of wear and separation parts, grinding media, power consumption, liners and other
regular operating expenses. Company’s end-customers are mineral processing
sites involved in gold and copper ore beneficiation accounting for 45.48% and 20.76%
respectively of their sale of products for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Gold
and copper mill sites require superior quality of consumables and have higher beneficiation
requirements. Despite some volatility in capital expenditure cycles for gold and
copper mining sites, their business was not impacted, as a majority of their products
were linked to the operating expenditure budget of a mining site and not capital
expenditure.
Capability to provide customized value added products:
Company’s in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities, including design,
process engineering and manufacturing facilities, allow them to turn around customized
designs in a short time frame, offer comprehensive solutions and better service
standards and cross sell multiple products to their customers. The company designs
and customizes products uniquely for each customer site, taking into account multiple
characteristics of the application including type of ore, ore size, tonnage, breakage
rate, power or rotational speed, pH, temperature, humidity, size, distribution and
trajectory, sound levels, health and safety standards. They have a track record
of developing and commercializing a diverse and innovative product portfolio of
55 mineral processing and material handling products over the years.
Strong global manufacturing and sales capabilities:
Tega has a track-record of servicing leading global mining companies for a long
period of time and in several cases, their relationships with key customers span
more than 10 years, leading to high repeat revenues for them. Company’s extensive
footprint across key mining belts worldwide has allowed them to enjoy economies
of scale and logistical advantages and develop significant insight into their customers’
needs and market trends. Their sales and distribution network is also in-house,
with 18 overseas and 14 domestic sales offices strategically located in all the
key geographies close to key customers, supported by 155 member dedicated sales
and servicing team with ability to assist pre sales and after sales services and
in select geographies by commission agents from time to time.
Leverage in-house R&D capabilities to grow the product offerings and capitalize
on future trends:
The company plans to continue expanding their R&D capabilities in order to capture
future growth trends. Their in-house R&D team comprises of 36 personnel focusing
on upgrading their existing products, developing product variants and new products
using their customized software for structural analysis, flow analysis, 3D modeling
and product selection. Further, they seek to continue to focus on their ability
to customize product offerings according to the specific requirements of their customers
through innovation and focusing on sustainable solutions.
Fluctuation in raw material prices:
Any shortfall or delay in the supply of raw materials or an increase in raw material
costs, may adversely affect the business margins as company may not be able to pass
on the same to its customers, which may in turn adversely impact the financial condition
and results of operations.
No long-term/exclusive contracts with raw material suppliers:
The company is dependent on few key suppliers of certain raw materials and do not
have long term contracts or exclusive arrangements with these key suppliers. Accordingly,
the loss of, or a significant reduction in supply by, such suppliers could adversely
affect the business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to obtain or renew necessary regulatory approvals, licenses, permits in
a timely manner:
The company operations are subject to extensive government regulations and require
a number of statutory & regulatory permits and approvals under central, state
and local government rules in the geographies in which it operates. In case any
approvals or licenses are cancelled, or its use is restricted, then it could adversely
affect the results of operations or growth prospects.

With covid restrictions easing out, the company’s plant utilization has improved, raw material suppliers have resumed operations and supply and logistics have become more regular. However, we believe the issue is fairly priced. Hence, we recommend investors to SUBSCRIBE to the IPO for listing day gains only.
