While NDUs are not pledges, some investors may misinterpret them as a negative signal, potentially causing short-term volatility

The NDU restricts disposal of shares during the applicable period, which could reduce free float and liquidity in the stock

The rupee term loan facility may be subject to interest rate fluctuations, impacting the company's cost of capital
