🛠️ “Kriti Industries: From Plumbing Dreams to PIPE-Nightmares?”

At a Glance

Kriti Industries manufactures PVC and HDPE pipes, fittings, and telecom ducts. It once had decent margins and growth, but FY24–25 was a total washout: flat sales, net losses, and negative ROE. Throw in a questionable auto division merger and warrants galore, and you’ve got a turnaround story… or a slow leak.

Well… unless you’re Kriti Industries, where operating margin is 4% and net profit is -₹4 Cr.

Is this a smallcap value play post-pain? Or a classic case of “Dekho sir, price-to-book is misleading”?

Let’s dig into this pipe maker’s cracked financial plumbing.
