2. OPERATING RESULTS & BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Your company is engaged in the business of Manufacturing of
Steel Products. During the year under review there was no
change in the business of the Company.

Your Company has earned net profit after tax of Rs. 1,177.04 Lakhs
for the financial year ended 31st March, 2025 as compared to a
net profit after tax of Rs. 1,771.94 Lakhs in the previous financial
year.

The Total Revenue from operations earned during the year is Rs.
99,826.22 lakh for the financial year ended 31st March, 2025 as
compared to revenue of Rs. 1,07,437.81 Lakhs in the previous
financial year.

During the financial year 2024-25 the company witnessed a
decline in revenue and profit primarily due to a significant drop in
steel prices in both domestic and international markets.

Although the company sold approximately the same quantity of
steel as the previous year, the decline in prices led to lower sales
turnover and a reduction in profit after tax (PAT). The softness in
prices impacted realizations, putting pressure on margins despite
stable production volumes.

To improve performance in the present Financial Year 2025-26,
the company is focusing on multiple strategic steps. These
include working towards price stabilization through better
contract management and value-added product offerings,
actively engaging with end-user industries to stimulate market
demand, and capitalizing on new opportunities from the recently
commissioned plant in Odisha. The Odisha plant is expected to
enhance capacity, reduce logistical costs, and provide access to
new regional markets, contributing to a stronger and more
resilient growth trajectory.
