With that, let’s take a look at the competitive strengths and risk factors for Gold Plus Glass Industry IPO.
Leading Player in the high-growth Indian glass industry with significant entry barriers
The float glass industry is characterised by high entry barriers because of the capital-intensive nature of the industry, long gestation period and the need to cater to an extensive range of products. (Source: CRISIL Report). Despite that, Gold Plus Glass Industry is among the only two glass manufacturers that have commissioned new float lines in the last three to four years. In addition, they have three fungible production lines and a large and diversified quality-certified product portfolio that gives them an advantage.
