2. OPERATIONAL PERFORMACE & STATE OF AFFAIRS: -TOTAL REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS:
Your Directors are pleased to report that the Company
recorded revenue from operations of ?604.98 crores
during the current financial year, as compared to
?605.56 crores in the previous year. The performance
remained largely stable year-on-year, reflecting the
Company''s resilience amid a challenging and volatile
global business environment.
DOMESTIC REVENUE CONTRIBUTION:
Revenue from domestic operations increased to
?345.98 crores during the year, as against ?325.42
crores in the previous year, registering a growth of
approximately 6%.
This growth was primarily driven by the Company''s
strategic focus on strengthening its domestic footprint
and capitalizing on emerging market opportunities.
In response to global uncertaintiesâparticularly
geopolitical tensions and evolving trade dynamics,
including US tariff and the IranâIsrael conflictâthe
Company proactively diversified its market base and
deepened its presence in the domestic segment. This
calibrated approach enabled the Company to effectively
mitigate external risks while sustaining its growth
momentum.
Revenue from export operations stood at ?259.00
crores during the current year, as compared to ?280.14
crores in the previous year, reflecting a decline of
approximately 7.5%.
The moderation in export revenues was primarily
attributable to prevailing uncertainties in international
markets, including geopolitical developments
and trade-related disruptions. As a prudent risk
management measure, the Company strategically
rebalanced its sales mix by increasing its focus on the
domestic market.
While the Company''s export operations remained
fundamentally stable and were not impacted, this
calibrated shift was undertaken as a precautionary
measure to mitigate potential risks arising from
global volatility. This approach enabled the Company
to safeguard overall performance and ensure business
continuity during the year.
company has decided to shift the ratio of export
market and domestic market. As per the below chart
the export is declined by 2,114 Lacs in comparison of
pervious year, however domestic sales increased by
2,056 Lacs in this year compared to previous year.
During the financial year, the Company executed a
calibrated strategic shift in its sales mix, prioritizing
the domestic market to mitigate risks arising from
volatility and disruptions in global trade dynamics.
This proactive measure was influenced by changes
in the global scenario, including US Tariff rates, with
the Company strategically shifting sales from export
to domestic markets based on international market
volatility.
Export volumes for the year stood at 9,868 MT,
compared to 10,335 MT in the previous year. Export
revenue was ?259.00 crores during the current
year, a decline of approximately 7.5% from ?280.14
crores in the previous year. This decline was partially
attributable to pressure on export margins witnessed
in the first half of the year, largely due to subdued
demand in key European markets impacted by tariff-
related developments in the United States. Despite
these near-term challenges, the Company remains
structurally well-positioned in international markets.
Conversely, revenue from the Domestic Market
increased significantly, reaching ?345.98 crores during
the year, which registered a growth of approximately
6% as against ?325.42 crores in the previous year. This
increase in the domestic revenue ratio successfully
offset the drop in export contribution, ensuring that the
Company''s overall performance was maintained and
did not decline. The company has intentionally move
the contribution of export to domestic to maintain
stability in the business and revenue. The below chart
shows the increment in the export annually with a
increment of domestic revenue in last Three Financial
Year ended. This year export shows as declined,
however company maintain the overall sale through
increase in the sales from domestic market as per
the strategy decided by company. Due to geopolitics
