Risk Assessment & Mitigation Plan

Key Risks Identified & Mitigation Strategy

Risk 1: Project Execution Delays

Mitigation: Phased execution model, pre-approved vendor and manpower pools, milestone-based planning

Risk 2: Regulatory & Environmental Clearances

Mitigation: Early compliance planning, engagement with licensed consultants, alignment with approved schemes

Risk 3: Cash Flow Gaps in Infrastructure Projects

Mitigation: Diversified revenue streams (solar, infrastructure, manpower, recycling), capped working capital usage

Risk 4: Dependency on External Contractors

Mitigation: Partial in-house execution, multi-vendor strategy, long-term subcontractor empanelment

Risk 5: Market Volatility

Mitigation: Focus on government and institutional contracts with predictable payment structures

Evaluator Takeaway

DSMKR demonstrates risk awareness and control, not over-optimism—key for public fund deployment
