Strength and Weakness

Market share and size

The company had a market share of 36.4% and 30.9% in domestic credit card and debit card issuance markets in FY26, respectively, with the issuance of 1.35 crore credit cards and 7.27 crore debit cards. With a manufacturing capacity of 11.90 crore cards, the company’s size makes it a perfect fit for capturing growth in the payment card market.

Strong customer relationship

The company had served more than 300 customers in FY26, with customers associated for over 5 years making up 72.7% of the revenue. The average association tenure with the company’s top 10 customers is 12.4 years, thus providing good visibility on the revenues and making entry very difficult.

Diverse integrated solutions

In addition to offering payment cards, the company also offers identification, secure printing, smart tagging, IoT and logistics solutions. Bundling capabilities of cards, cheques, collaterals and logistics help them in cross-selling and engaging customers even further.

Advantage in technology & security

The certifications from the company have been maintained for an average period of 9 to 16 years with no security breach reported over the last three fiscals. The company’s robust security infrastructure, payment network certifications and unique metal card manufacturing technology create high barriers to entry.

The global reach, coupled with its dominance in high-security cards, provides additional means for the company to capitalise on the new opportunities presented by both the growing domestic market and foreign exports.
