1. STATE OF COMPANYâS AFFAIRS

During the financial year under review, the Company experienced unprecedented operational and financial stress due to adverse market conditions, liquidity constraints and interruption of business activities. The Companyâs standalone financial performance for the year ended March 31,2025 is summarized as follows:

The Revenue from Operations declined sharply to ?14,153.53 lakhs, as compared to ?32,183.60 lakhs in the

previous year, primarily due to the suspension of production and slowdown in sales. Other Income increased to ?444.33 lakhs as compared to ?263.27 lakhs during FY 2023-24. Consequently, the Total Revenue for the year stood at ?14,597.86 lakhs as compared to ?32,446.87 lakhs in the preceding year.

The Total Revenue Expenditure during the FY 2024-25 stood at ?16,223.06 lakhs as compared to ?32,246.76 lakhs in FY 2023-24. During the year there are few transactions related to exceptional items are observed, amounting to ? 3,488.88 lakhs as against NIL in FY 2023-24.

After considering the overall expenditure in F.Y 2024-25 total profit/ (loss) before tax for the year ending on 31^stMarch 2025 is ? (5,114.08) lakhs, as compared to ? 200.10 Lakhs in previous FY 2023-24. The Other Comprehensive Income for the year stood at ?4.86 lakhs, as compared to ? 8.14 Lakhs in previous FY 202324. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the F.Y 2024-25 stood at ? (58.57) as compared to ?1.85 in the previous F.Y 2023-24.

During the second quarter of FY 2024-25, the Company faced severe cash flow constraints which resulted in

delays in servicing bank debt. Consequently, State Bank of India (SBI) classified the Companyâs loan accounts as Non-Performing Asset (NPA). Following such classification, the lending bank exercised control over the Companyâs cash flows, and bank accounts were seized, severely impacting the working capital cycle and day-to-day business operations.

In addition, the plant operations were intermittently shut down owing to the shifting of plant and machinery from adjacent rented land to the Companyâs owned land premises. This relocation process, coupled with the financial restrictions imposed by the lender, led to a complete suspension of manufacturing and operational activities from the end of second quarter of the financial year.

The Board and management have been continuously engaging with the lending bank and exploring restructuring options for revival of operations. Efforts are also being made to resolve the financial stress, streamline logistical constraints, and secure adequate working capital support to recommence plant operations. The Company is also evaluating strategic, cost-optimization and business consolidation initiatives to realign operational capacity in response to current market realities.

While the financial results of the year have been significantly impacted by the above developments, the Board remains committed to restoring operational stability and improving the financial position of the Company. The management believes that with appropriate restructuring, recommencement of operations and effective resource planning, the Company will be able to improve its performance in the coming periods.

Temporary delays were solely due to severe liquidity constraints during NPA status. The Company has commenced systematic clearance of pending dues post OTS settlement and expects to be fully compliant shortly. The amount involved is not material in relation to total expenses.
13	During the year, as the banks classified the Companyâs loan accounts as Non-Performing Assets (NPA), the Company had no access to its banking facilities. Consequently, to meet its day-to-day operational requirements and expenses during the period when the bank accounts remained inoperative, payments were made through the group companies of the Company.â Our Opinion is not Modified in the said matter.	Payments were routed through related entities only due to lack of access to bank accounts during NPA classification. Complete details are appropriately recorded ensuring transparency. No misstatement or financial prejudice has occurred
14	In accordance with applicable IND AS-2 the valuation of inventories of Raw material and consumables is made at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV), as against the earlier policy of valuation at cost. As a result, thereof the value of inventories was reduced by Rs. 417.17 lakhs.â Our Opinion is not Modified in the said matter	The switch from Cost to Lower of Cost and NRV aligns with Ind AS-2 requirements. The impact is noncash in nature, enhances conservatism in financial reporting, and no further effect is expected in future periods.
