The contract is scheduled for execution by 30 January 2027, with payment terms structured to be made after receipt, inspection and acceptance of the material by the consignee at destination.

When combined with previous disclosures, the total disclosed order book stands at ₹8.93 crore across 3 orders, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of roughly 0.02x against trailing twelve-month revenue, indicating that the disclosed backlog covers only 0.06 quarters of average quarterly revenue. Recent order inflow has shown acceleration, rising from ₹3.95 crore in Q1FY27 to ₹4.98 crore in Q2FY27, with the current order value consistent with the company's typical per-order size ranging between ₹1.62 crore and ₹3.95 crore for similar seating contracts.
