Talking to CNBC-TV18, Akash Sethia, Head-Strategy, Elin Electronics said that the company is working towards bringing down revenue concentration. “We worked on bringing that down and we are cognizant of that fact. About two years back, probably the top five customers contributed to about 75 percent of revenues. As things stand today that number is probably down between 60 and 65 percent and our endeavour and focus is to further bring it down over the next few years to close to 50 percent.”

Sethia said that the company we will be debt free post the IPO. He added, "While we intend to use out of the fresh issue of Rs 175 crore approximately Rs 40 crore towards capex, it is just pertinent to point out that over the past 3-3.5 years, we have already done a fairly large capex of approximately Rs 125 crore. So, going forward, we do not expect a material capex to come in.”
