OPERATIONS :
The Company has achieved turnover of Rs.13,907.50 Lakhs during the current financial
year as against Rs.11,833.23 Lakhs during the previous year. The Company has achieved
EBIDTA of Rs.839.93 Lakhs during the year as against Rs.704.94 Lakhs during the previous
year. The Company has earned net profit of Rs.267.19 Lakhs during the year as compared to
profit of Rs.138.90 Lakhs in the previous year. The production volume of the Company has
increased from 2449.01 tons in previous year to 3045.14 tons thereby healthy increase of
more than 24%.
The turnover, EBIDTA and net profit of the Company has improved during the year
compared to previous year as Company is focusing more on value added products. Your
Company's operating results are influenced by macro-economic developments which can affect
trends such as industrial production, capital spending, commercial and infrastructure
construction, commodity prices, and foreign exchange variations. The demand seems to be
good for stainless steel seamless and welded products across industries.
During the year under report, the Company has incurred capital expenditure of approx.
Rs.596.00 lakhs to modernize its plant and machinery in order to become cost competitive.
The
Company is also planning to make further substantial capital expenditure in current
financial year to develop new high grade product to cater to pharma, dairy and food &
beverage industries in Phase I. This will be followed with addition of products for
Semi-Conductor & Battery business tubes in Phase II, suitable arrangements are being
made for technology upgradation & absorption.
While India is on a steady growth path, global geo-political developments may have some
impact on capex investments and consumption amidst uncertainty. Broad supply chain
disruptions will continue to cause cost inflationary pressure in the near future. We
expect it to be in the short/medium term and are confident on the fundamentals of the
Indian economy to achieve growth in the longer term.
The central Government's "Make in India" initiative and both, government and
private investments in refining, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical & power are
expected to create robust demand for the Company's products. Secondly, the Government is
also focusing on creating major capacity in thermal power and nuclear power, which would
also create demand of our products. Our company has got all approvals with major users and
is expected to reap benefits of these initiatives.
The Board of Directors expresses their inability to declare any dividend.
There was no amount transferred to General reserves.
