STANDALONE AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standards (‘Ind AS'') as notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The financial highlights
and the results of the operations, including major developments have been further discussed in detail in the Management Discussion and
Analysis Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATE OF COMPANY''S AFFAIRS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, India retained its position as the world''s second-largest producer of crude steel. The
Country''s crude steel production capacity and output experienced growth in early 2024. However, the industry faced multiple headwinds,
including unbalanced import dynamics, volatility in raw material prices, and sustained pressure on profit margins. Despite a projected increase
in domestic demand, the steel sector contended with declining global prices and heightened competition, which impacted realizations.

In the power segment, the Captive Power Plant (CPP) model encountered challenges due to a significant hike in wheeling charges imposed
by the State Government. This development rendered the CPP model less viable. Consequently, a strategic shift was made during FY
2024-25 from the Captive Power Plant model to an Independent Power Plant (IPP) model, enabling the Company to improve on power sales
through energy exchanges and third parties. While such power sales are inherently seasonal, the Power Division registered reasonable
growth during the year under review, supporting the Company''s overall performance.

During the financial year 2024-25, the Company initiated multiple capital-intensive projects aimed at improving operational efficiency and
reducing long-term costs. These initiatives involved retrofitting and installation of new furnace, which, while essential for future gains,
temporarily disrupted regular production processes. Also, there was frequent shift in market equilibrium of intermediate goods during the

year. As a result, the Company''s TMT sales volume declined to 1,22,300 tons, compared to 1,40,156 tons in the previous year, registering
a 12.74% decrease. However, these strategic upgrades are expected to enhance production efficiency and contribute to improved margins
in the coming years.

The loss after tax for the year stood at Rs.7,270 lakhs, as against a loss of Rs.5,017 lakhs in the previous year, marking an increase of
Rs.2,253 lakhs mainly on account of finance costs. Additionally, the Company''s operations remained under pressure due to a substantial
decline in steel prices, further affecting profitability for the year under review.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Steel

Production of Specialty Steel: Covered under Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme:

The Company has made an application for PLI Scheme during the year 2024-25 and it is looking forward to manufacture specialty steel
under PLI scheme. The PLI scheme is a government initiative in India designed to boost domestic manufacturing, attract investments,

Tulsyan NEC Limited Gets Green Steel Certificate with 5 Star Rating:

During the year under review, the Company obtained 5 Star Rating under the Green Steel Certification Program of the National Institute of
Secondary Steel Technology (NISST).

The Green Steel Certificate is part of India''s ambitious initiative to decarbonize its steel sector and achieve net-zero emissions by 2070.
India has become the first country in the world to introduce a Green Steel Taxonomy, which establishes clear guidelines for determining the
environmental sustainability of steel production. The concept of “Green Steel” is defined by the amount of CO2 emissions released during
the steel production process, with a threshold of 2.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of finished steel. Steel plants with emissions lower
than this threshold are eligible for green certification, and the level of certification is determined based on how much their emissions fall
below this standard.

To facilitate this process, the Ministry of Steel & Heavy Industries has outlined a rating system for Green Steel. The rating is classified
into three categories: five-star, four-star, and three-star, depending on the emission intensity. Five-star rated steel has emissions below
1.6 t-CO2e/tfs, while four-star and three-star ratings are given for steel with emission intensities between 1.6-2.0 and 2.0-2.2 t-CO2e/
tfs, respectively. Steel with emission levels exceeding 2.2 t-CO2e/tfs is excluded from the green certification. This rating system allows
consumers and businesses to easily identify steel products that contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

The Green Steel Certificate is issued on an annual basis by the National Institute of Secondary Steel Technology (NISST), which serves
as the nodal agency for Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV). This certification ensures transparency and accountability in
the steel sector by verifying the emissions associated with steel production. The ratings will be reviewed every three years to adjust the
thresholds as the industry progresses toward lower emissions. In the future, steel plants may opt for more frequent MRV assessments to
receive updated certificates more than once a year. This initiative not only sets a global benchmark but also positions India as a leader in
green industrial transformation.

Benefits of the Green Steel Certificate:

• Encourages Sustainable Steel Production: The Green Steel Certificate promotes the adoption of low-carbon technologies and
practices within the steel industry. By setting clear emission thresholds, it motivates steel plants to reduce their carbon footprint,
leading to more sustainable steel production processes.

• Enhances Transparency and Accountability: The certification provides a transparent mechanism for tracking and reporting
emissions. It ensures that steel producers are held accountable for their environmental impact, making it easier for consumers and
businesses to make informed decisions based on sustainability criteria.

• Promotes Global Leadership in Green Industry: As the first country to establish a Green Steel Taxonomy, India sets a global
benchmark in green industrial practices. This certification positions India as a leader in sustainable steel production, encouraging
other nations to adopt similar measures.

• Attracts Green Investment: Steel plants with higher green ratings can attract investments from environmentally conscious
investors and stakeholders. The certification aligns with global sustainability goals, making green-rated steel more appealing to
markets that prioritize low-carbon products.

• Supports India’s Net-Zero Target by 2070: The Green Steel Certification directly contributes to India''s goal of achieving net-zero
emission intensity by 2070. By incentivizing steel producers to lower their emissions, the certification helps drive the Country''s
broader climate action agenda.

• Increases Consumer Awareness and Choice: With clear star ratings based on emission intensity, consumers can easily choose
more environmentally friendly steel products. This empowers buyers to support brands and products that align with their values
regarding climate change and sustainability.

• Fosters Innovation in Steel Production: The need to meet stringent emission standards encourages innovation within the steel
industry. Producers are likely to invest in new technologies and processes that reduce emissions, leading to advancements in
energy efficiency and cleaner production methods.

• Facilitates Compliance with International Environmental Standards: The Green Steel Certification aligns with global
sustainability and climate change goals, helping Indian steel producers meet international environmental standards. This makes
Indian steel more competitive in global markets where sustainability is increasingly prioritized.

• Creates a Market for Green Steel: By formalizing the definition and certification of green steel, India is helping to create a market
for environmentally sustainable steel products. This can lead to increased demand for green steel domestically and internationally,
stimulating economic growth in the sector.

We are proud to declare that the Company''s CO2 emission is found to be 1.3 t-CO2e/tfs and hence, we are rated under Five-star.

Efforts to obtain LEED International Certification:

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certificate offers a framework for business entities to work for healthy, efficient,
carbon-neutral, and cost-effective green buildings. Being recognized globally as a symbol of sustainability development, LEED is supported
by an entire community of environmentally-friendly industries and individuals with the motive to transform today''s market and bring green
buildings into the mainstream.

In more simple terms, LEED certification is a green building scoring mechanism to evaluate the environmental performance of all
buildings, including commercial and residential ones. It assesses the architectural aspects of buildings from several perspectives, including
sustainability, the efficiency of energy use, water conservation, materials, etc. Someone might ask, “What''s the point of all of these?”
Well, for one we can say, it ensures the businesses that indulge in construction activities are operating as per the LEED certification
requirements, which means, they are environmentally responsible, clean, and cost-effective.

Relevance of LEED Certification in India and its Impact on the Steel Industry:

It is understandable that questions may arise regarding the relevance of LEED Certification within the Indian context. However, it is
important to note that the certification holds significant value and applicability in the Country. India proudly secured the third position
globally in the U.S. Green Building Council''s (USGBC) annual rankings for LEED-certified green buildings in 2021. The Country recorded
an impressive 146 certified buildings and spaces, covering over 2.8 million gross square meters (GSM). This achievement highlights the
growing awareness and commitment toward sustainable and energy-efficient infrastructure in India.

This remarkable feat is not incidental — it signals a strong shift toward sustainability that industries, including the steel sector, can no longer
overlook. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is emerging as a key differentiator for businesses focused
on future-readiness, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency.

Benefits of LEED Certification:

For the steel industry in particular, which is both energy-intensive and emission-heavy, adopting LEED standards brings numerous benefits:

• Ensure Energy Savings: Who wouldn''t like to save operational costs, especially when it comes to building infrastructure which
often involves massive investments? With LEED certification, you can make your building project energy efficient, using
technologies like solar panels and bringing down the expenditure on energy use. Besides this, it can also help you contribute to a
better environment as less energy requirement means less emission of harmful greenhouse gases.

• Less Usage of Water: India comes among the most water-stressed Countries as with over 18% global population and just 4% of
the world''s water resources, the problem of water scarcity is at its worst today. Here, the LEED certificate can play an important
role as it motivates the real estate industry to design their buildings to ensure the conservation of water as much as possible.

• High IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality): Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is nothing but conditions inside a building,
alongside the health of those who occupy it. It involves air quality, lighting, thermal conditions, and the effects they have on the
people living in such a place. LEED certification aims for a high IEQ, to offer a clean and healthy atmosphere for occupants. That''s
the reason we see LEED-certified buildings promoting concepts, like ventilation, delighting, and the use of low-emitting materials.

• Better Building Valuation: Higher valuation compared to traditional buildings is the reason major real-estate developers of the
Country are taking more and more interest in the development of green buildings. The quality and sustainability aspects of LEED-
certified buildings not only bring more interested buyers but also lead to higher profit margins.

• Tax Incentive: Last but not least are the Tax incentives that the Government of the Country offers to the businesses involved

in the development of LEED-certified buildings. Under the Income Tax Act, eligible real-estate developers can get up to a 100%
depreciation on the cost of products used in green buildings. For instance, solar panels, waste management systems, or rainwater
harvesting mechanisms.

As the industry adapts to changing environmental standards and consumer expectations, LEED certification is no longer optional — it is the
way forward. Our Company remains committed to exploring and implementing such sustainable initiatives to build a more responsible and
resilient future. Today, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED Certificate stands as the world''s most recognized green
building rating system. In India, the responsibility of administering it lies with the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), which has been
working day and night to promote the development of green buildings and the use of sustainable practices all across the Country. With LEED
certification, an entity gets to enjoy several advantages, such as cost efficiency, tax savings, high IEQ, and many more. The support India''s
government shows for LEED certification is also commendable and the reason behind this is it can bring down the environmental impacts
and help the Country achieve its net zero targets by the year 2070.

The Company is actively pursuing certifications aligned with international standards, including LEED, with the objective of enhancing its
export potential and strengthening its presence in global markets. Such certifications not only demonstrate our commitment to sustainable
and responsible manufacturing but also position us competitively in environmentally conscious international markets.

^ Planned Capital Expenditure:

During the year under review, the Company completed about 80% of the implementation of Capex program which will debottleneck
production processes to enhance the billet production capacity by about 36000 tons per annum. Further, the expenditure is being incurred to
increase the power supply voltage of the unit to 110 KVA which will reduce cost of operations. With enhanced own production of billets, the
Company will reduce dependence on the market for the billets and substantial requirement of the Company will be met by its own means.
This process also enhances the efficiency of Direct billet charging to rolling mill which will saves power costs and also improves profitability.
The project is expected to be completed in FY 2025-26.

Investing in a 110kV substation to replace an existing 33kV substation is a significant capital expenditure (Capex) that will bring numerous
benefits to our plant, particularly as we are operating an induction furnace. This upgrade can notably enhance the Plant''s power supply
capacity and operational efficiency. These advantages collectively ensure that our Plant can meet current and future production demands
efficiently and sustainably.

The Company has entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement with Tata Steel Limited to manufacture Welded Wire Mesh for their
requirement. Accordingly, Tata Steel provides the Wire Rod Coils to be converted into Welded Wire Mesh and delivered to Tata Steel
customers.

This product will catch up over a period of time and will yield in long term.

Impact of Economy and Industry and other factors relating to performance of steel:

Government policies and initiatives affect the working of the sector and the Government policies and the initiatives on the steel sector are
as follows:

PM GatiShakti National Master Plan:

With the help of Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics (BiSAG-N), the infrastructure Ministries have uploaded
their rail, road, port networks, etc. on PM GatiShatkti National Portal. Ministry of Steel has onboarded itself on PM GatiShakti Portal (National
Master Plan portal) with the help of a mobile application created by BiSAG-N, by uploading the Geo locations of more than 2100 (Twenty
One Hundred) steel units (including big players) functioning in the Country. The Geo location of all the Iron Ore Mines and Manganese Ore
Mines has also been uploaded. Ministry of Steel is in the process of uploading the geo locations of the existing slurry pipelines and the
laboratories functioning in the steel sector.

In addition, Ministry of Steel, in line with the goal of PM GatiShakti Master Plan, has identified 22 high impact projects to develop multimodal
connectivity and bridge the missing infrastructure gaps. Planned expansion of railway lines, creation of new inland waterways, roads, ports,
gas pipeline connectivity will result in creating much needed logistics solution which will drive the steel sector towards achieving its targeted
goals by 2030-31, as delineated in NSP 2017.

Further, Ministry of Steel is in the process to formulate “Sectoral Plan for Efficient Logistics (SPEL)” which is a comprehensive, long term
infrastructure plan as mandated by the Comprehensive Logistics Action Plan (CLAP) under the National Logistics Policy (NLP).

Introduction of Safeguard Duty on Steel Imports:

The Government of India has levied a 12% safeguard duty on steel imports from April 2025 onwards in support of Domestic Steel
manufacturers. This levy will equalise the playing field for the local manufacturers and guards against dumping by other countries.

Power Division Performance and Outlook:

The power sector especially the thermal power sector where our Company is invested in, is facing big constraints on account of high coal
prices at which the operations are unviable. However, India''s dependence on Thermal power about 50% currently, will keep the sector going
in the near future. The market dynamics would reconcile to a sustainable level of costs and revenue of produces and consumers overtime
subject however to robust government policies.

Future outlook:

The international coal prices have softened and are quickly reaching back to their original positions. The Company estimates that the
coal prices would remain stable at the reduced levels and the Company can improve its utilisation levels thereupon. The Government has
modified the Shakti Policy of 2017 to broad base the access of domestically produced coal to smaller coal units also.

The Outlook is expected to be favourable.

Amendment of Shakti Policy 2017:

Background: With the introduction of SHAKTI Policy, 2017, there was a paradigm shift of coal allocation mechanism from a nomination-
based regime to a more transparent way of allocation of coal linkages through an auction / tariff-based bidding. Nomination based allocation
continued only for the Central / State Sector power plants. SHAKTI Policy has been amended in 2019 on the recommendations of Group
of Ministers. SHAKTI Policy was further amended in 2023. SHAKTI Policy has various Paras for allocation of a coal linkage to the various
categories of Power Plants, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria. With the introduction of Revised SHAKTI Policy, existing eight Paras of
the SHAKTI Policy, for coal allocation, have been mapped to only two Windows, in the spirit of ease of doing Business.

Window-II: Any domestic coal-based power producer having PPA or untied and also Imported coal-based power plants (if they so require)
can secure coal on auction basis for a period upto 12 months or for the period of more than 12 months upto 25 years by paying premium
above the notified price and providing the power plants the flexibility to sell the electricity as per their choice.

Implementation strategy: Directions would be issued by the Central Government to Coal India Limited (CIL) / Singareni Collieries Company
Limited (SCCL) for implementation of the aforesaid decisions. Besides, the concerned Ministries and all the States shall also be apprised of
the revised SHAKTI Policy for further dissemination to the concerned Departments / Authorities and also to the Regulatory Commissions.

Major impact, including employment generation potential:

• Simplification of the linkage process.

• Caters to the dynamic coal requirement of the Power Sector.

• Central Sector Thermal Power Projects (TPPs).

• No requirement of PPA in Window-II -thereby providing the power plants the flexibility to sell the electricity as per their choice.

• Enabling Independent Power Producers (IPPs)/Private Developers for thermal capacity addition.

• Promote Coal Import Reduction/Substitution.

• Linkage Rationalization.

• Allowing Un-requisitioned Surplus in Power Markets.

The Company is working towards availing the benefits of Shakti 2017 and is hopeful of containing cost of power generation and become
competitive.

Plan for Refurbishment in turbine:

The Company has adopted best practices to maintain the power plant at its best possible levels. These Power plant turbines are capital
intensive equipment, but over time, due to wear and tear the performance deteriorates leading to higher fuel costs. Alternate to expensive
replacement, Turbine refurbishment is a cost-effective solution that restores their efficiency. The Company is undertaking a power plant
refurbishment program during the current financial year.

Benefits of Refurbishing Your Turbine:

• Cost Savings: Refurbishing a turbine can save up to 50% compared to the cost of buying a new one.

• Improved Performance: Refurbished turbines often operate at higher efficiency than before, leading to better power output and
lower operational costs.

• Extended Lifespan: Refurbishment restores the integrity of the turbine, allowing it to continue running reliably for years.

• Environmental Benefits: Refurbishment reduces the need for new equipment manufacturing, which lowers the carbon footprint.
Synthetic Division - Performance and Outlook:

The Synthetic Division performance showed an improvement in turnover of about 18% over previous year. Disruptive Tariff war going on in
the world economy has affected the market and is fast changing the global material sourcing strategies. The sector is awaiting for the US
India Trade Deal which could provide a direction to the industry.

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic:

The Company has overcome the effects of Covid-19 impact and has reached normalcy.

Details of application made or any proceeding pending under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (31 of 2016) during the
year alongwith their status as at the end of the financial year:

• The Company has not made any application under Insolvency and Bankruptcy code 2016 for resolution during the year under
review nor any application for insolvency proceeding has been made against the Company.

• The Company is a respondent in an application filed by the IRP of Cauvery Power Generation Chennai Private Limited seeking
payment of Rs.174.01 Lakhs being the value of coal supplied by the said company to us. Whereas supply so made by the said
company was towards amount due to the Company. The application is pending with the NCLT and we are confident that the claim
is not maintainable and is not a preferential payment.

Details of difference between amount of the valuation done at the time of one-time settlement and the valuation done while taking
loan from the banks or financial institutions along with the reasons thereof:

During the financial year under review, there were no such instances where the Company required the valuation for one time settlement or
while taking the loan from the Banks or Financial institutions.

in consultation with the Statutory Auditors of the Company, from time to time.

Sl. No.	Qualification, Reservation or Adverse Remark or Disclaimer made by the Statutory Auditors	Management’s Reply
1	Basis for Qualified Opinion: As stated in Note No. 7 to the standalone financial results, the Company has not received balance confirmations for trade receivables outstanding for more than 180 days as at 31st March 2025. These receivables constitute approximately 53% in value of the confirmations sought. For receivables outstanding for less than 180 days, confirmations were received in a substantial number of cases. The management has represented that it undertook a comprehensive process of seeking balance confirmations from all customers and made multiple follow-up efforts. Despite these efforts, a significant portion of the older balances remain unconfirmed. The Company has also informed us that it remains confident of recovery of these balances and is evaluating an assignment of certain receivables as part of its recovery plan. Further, the Company has written off a small portion of the trade receivables during the year in respect of trade receivables and, based on its assessment, has not recorded any significant ECL provision beyond this. However, in the absence of direct confirmations and sufficient alternative audit evidence regarding the recoverability of these older balances, we are unable to determine whether any further adjustments are necessary to the carrying value of these receivables by way of additional provisioning, write-offs, or write- backs. Accordingly, our audit opinion on the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025 is qualified to the extent of the possible effects of adjustments, if any, that may be required on account of the forementioned matter.	The management undertook a comprehensive process of seeking balance confirmations from all customers and made multiple follow-up efforts. Despite these efforts, a significant portion of the older balances remain unconfirmed. The Company is confident of recovery of these balances and is evaluating an assignment of certain receivables as part of its recovery plan. Further, the Company has written off some of the trade receivables during the year in respect of trade receivables which are clearly not recoverable and based on its assessment, has not recorded ECL provision.
2	Emphasis of Matter: The Company has serviced the interest and principal payable on the Non-Convertible Debentures on time in all months except from December 2024. There has been an agreed Moratorium from Dec 2024 to Mar 2024. (Reference is drawn to Note No. 3 of Standalone Financial Statements) According to the information and explanation given to us, during the year one Windmill was sold and from June 2024 to February 2025, Power plant was under shutdown. (Reference is drawn to Note No. 6 of Standalone Financial Statements)	Sale of Windmill was part of long-term plan to dispose non¬ core assets which did not affect the core of the business of the Company. Power plant shutdown was due to maintenance and also depended on the power demand during such months.

STANDALONE AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The standalone and consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS'') as notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The financial highlights and the results of the operations, including major developments have been further discussed in detail in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND STATE OF COMPANY''S AFFAIRS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

During the Financial Year ended March 31, 2024, India continues to be the second largest producer of crude steel. Steel Industry faced free fall in the output prices with not tandem reduction in input costs which resulted unfavourable margins and subdued the demand by the consumers.

Despite such difficulties faced, the turnover of the Company increased to Rs.95,600 Lakhs from Rs.95,046 Lakhs which is 0.6 % increase compared to the turnover of the previous year.

TMT sales increased to 1,40,156 Tons from 1,36,987 Tons registering a growth of 2.3%. Despite achieving higher quantum of sales during the year, the drop in prices affected margin increase in the turnover. Loss after tax during the year is Rs. 5,017 Lakhs as against profit of Rs.24,792.98 Lakhs in the previous year. Previous years'' profit was on account of writing back of interest and principal on the term loans and working capital as the company entered into a compromise settlement settled with lenders during the year under review and during the year under review, there was no such write backs and also the operations were not profitable due to drop in steel prices.

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

Steel

Initiative to produce Green Steel

CII- Green Products and Services Council has issued a certificate that “Manufactured by Tulsyan NEC Ltd. at Gummidipoondi, Tamil Nadu, meets the requirements of GreenPro Ecolabel and qualifies as Green Product. This certification is valid till December 2026”.

Importance of Green Pro Certification:

Green Pro certification is a mark of sustainability and environmental responsibility, specifically tailored for the Indian context by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). For a steel plant, obtaining this certification can bring numerous advantages. Obtaining Green Pro certification for a steel plant offers substantial advantages, including enhanced environmental performance, improved market competitiveness, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and cost savings.

Green Pro certification evaluates various parameters, including energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, materials used, indoor environmental quality, and innovation.

The future potential for scoring under Green Pro certification can be significantly improved through targeted initiative. Upgrading to more energy-efficient machinery and processes, implementing renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, and optimizing energy management systems. Installing advanced water recycling and rainwater harvesting systems, reducing water usage through efficient processes, and treating wastewater for reuse. Enhancing waste segregation and recycling processes, reducing raw material wastage and implementing Zero waste to landfill initiatives.

Benefits of Green Certificate

• Having Green Pro certification can enhance the plant''s reputation and marketability. Customers, particularly those with sustainability goals, are more likely to choose products from certified plants.

• Green Pro certification helps in complying with environmental regulations and standards, which are becoming increasingly stringent. Additionally, it can make the plant eligible for government incentives, grants, and subsidies aimed at promoting sustainable practices.

• Sustainable practices help in mitigating risks associated with resource scarcity, regulatory changes, and environmental impacts. This proactive approach can safeguard the plant''s operations against future uncertainties.

• Green Pro certification enhances the corporate image and brand value of the steel plant. It demonstrates a commitment to sustainability. Planned Capital Expenditure:

The company is in the process of implementing a Capex program at an estimated cost of Rs.18 Crores which will debottleneck production processes to enhance the billet production capacity by about 36000 tons per annum. Further, the expenditure is being incurred to increase the power supply voltage of the unit to 110 KVA which will reduce cost of operations. With enhanced own production of billets the company will reduce dependence on the market for the billets and substantial requirement of the company will be met by its own means. This process also enhances the efficiency of Direct billet charging to rolling mill which will saves power costs and also improves profitability. The project is expected to be completed in FY 2024-25.

Investing in a 110kV substation to replace an existing 33kV substation is a significant capital expenditure (Capex) that will bring numerous benefits to our plant, particularly as we are operating an induction furnace. This upgrade can notably enhance the Plant''s power supply capacity and operational efficiency. These advantages collectively ensure that our Plant can meet current and future production demands efficiently and sustainably.

Few benefits of this Capex investment

• Increased Maximum Demand Capacity

• Enhanced Melt Rate and Productivity

• Improved Power Quality and Reliability

• Long-term Cost Efficiency

• Scalability for future growth

• Enhanced operational flexibility

• Competitive advantage and

• Environmental benefits.

Future capex plans

Additional furnace and scrap processing yard: Company has on its drawing board the following plans which are expected to improve and benefit the company summary of which is given below:

Additional New Furnace:

• Investing in a new furnace and a steel scrap processing facility following the installation of a 110kV substation can significantly enhance the productivity and efficiency of a steel plant. Here''s an analysis of the potential productivity gains and efficiency improvements.

• Increase in Production Capacity; With the new furnace, assuming it has a similar capacity to the upgraded 22-ton furnace, the plant''s melting capacity will effectively triple.

• The improved energy infrastructure with the 110kV substation ensures more stable and efficient power delivery, reducing energy losses and operational disruptions.

• Newer furnace technologies often come with better thermal efficiency and energy recovery systems, leading to reduced energy consumption per ton of steel produced.

Steel Scrap Processing Facility

• On-site scrap processing reduces the dependency on external suppliers, ensures a steady supply of processed scrap, and lowers costs.

• Control over the quality of processed scrap ensures better input material for the furnaces, reducing impurities and enhancing the quality of the final product.

• Efficient scrap processing reduces waste and promotes recycling, aligning with sustainability goals and potentially reducing raw material costs.

Other Initiatives

• Face lift to be given to existing plant by upgrading/updating the technological advancement prevailing at present. Steel structures of building to be strengthened and to refurbish plant and machinery to give life for another ten to fifteen years.

• Current focus is on Energy management, to bring expertise and experience together a suite of Industry 4.0 digitalization solutions which can add a great value in helping our plant with predictive and timely alerts with report generation, aiding in proper upkeep and efficient functioning of the plant.

• Installation of smart meters for Energy Monitoring & Management System at HV & LV power distribution for SMS, CCM, Rolling Mill &

^ Auxiliaries area (31 meters). The system should collect all the data without any human intervention and thus create transparency among the stakeholders.

• In addition, the water resources limited to bore wells in house. Depletion of water table in bores may cause scarcity of water requirement for future projects. Hence to work on rain water harvest, STP and zero water discharge in future.

Increase in Turnover:

With enhanced billet capacity the company will improve its TMT sales which hitherto were a constraint. Steel Marketing team has been strengthened for a better market outreach and also improve the Dealers network.

Introduction of Welded Wire Mesh:

The company has created a facility for manufacture of Welded Wire Mesh and has introduced to the Market. The product aims to expedite all construction processes. The Weld Mesh is strong, long lasting, and rust-resistant and the product consists of rebars (the size and sections can be customized according to the end users'' requirement) that are welded together to form a grid-like pattern. The Company offers cold rolled wire mesh from 4.7mm to 12mm, and hot rolled wire mesh from 5.5mm to 16mm. Our weld mesh has a maximum width of 3 meters and maximum length of 8 meters.

As mentioned earlier, the aim is to make the construction process more efficient and effective. The Weld Mesh reduces the construction time as it eliminates activities like cutting, marking, and spacing of bars. A revolutionary solution for the industry is to evolve.

Few advantages are:

• Instant and optimized savings in costs, manual labor, and time.

• Reduction in scrap.

• Odd sections can be provided as per requirement, so there will be steel saving.

• Thinner steel can provide greater strength due to welding.

• Better precision with less manpower.

• Better output.

• Stronger bonding involving the rebar, due to welding.

Impact of Economy and Industry and other factors relating to performance of steel:

Government policies and initiatives affect the working of the sector and the Government policies and the initiatives on the steel sector are as follows:

National Steel Policy 2017:

National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017 aims to increase focus on expansion of MSME sector, improve raw material security, enhance R&D activities, reduce import dependency and cost of production, and thus develop a “technologically advanced and globally competitive steel industry that promotes economic growth” eyeing self-sufficiency in production, developing globally economical steel manufacturing capabilities by facilitating investments and cost efficient productions with adequate availability of raw materials.

With focus on R&D, the technology would be of utmost focus over the next decade and MSME steel plants would be the key drivers to achieve the additional capacity required for the India''s consumption led growth and improvement in the overall productivity and quality.

Expected Outcomes of the policy:

The other expected outcomes are as under:

• India to be world leader in energy efficiency and sustainability.

• Cost-effective and quality steel destination.

• Attain global standards in Industrial Safety & Health.

Policy for providing preference to Domestically Manufactured Iron and Steel:

'' The Government had introduced DMI&SP Policy on 8th May, 2017 to provide preference to domestically produced iron & steel material in Government tenders. Further, to fine tune this objective the Policy was revised on 29th May, 2019 and on 31st December, 2020 respectively.

Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) for Import data dissemination:

With a view to ensure prior availability of granular data like end-use, IS grade etc. regarding steel import in public domain, before the entry of such imports in India, a Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) was notified by DGFT on 5th September, 2019 and became effective from 1st November, 2019. SIMS requires the importer to submit advance information online for import of all steel tariff lines at 8-digit HS Code level wherein they get an automatic registration number for carrying out imports. A token registration fee has been prescribed for this purpose.

SIMS initially covered only 284 HS codes of Chapter 72, 73 and 86 but has since been extended to all items under Chapter 72, 73 and 86 of

ITC HS codes. SIMS is very useful for the Indian domestic steel industry in responding to the market conditions in a more dynamic manner.

Enhancing the scope of the Quality Control Orders on Steel:

Ministry of Steel gave major thrust to Steel Quality Control Order (SQCO) from 2015 onwards thereby banning substandard/ defective steel products to ensure that only quality steel conforming to the relevant BIS standards is made available to the end users.

Recent Initiatives:

• Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Specialty Steel.

• Allocation of 3.3% of GDP toward Infrastructure Development in the last budget.

• India''s wish to become a developed nation by 2047 hinges significantly on improving its infrastructure.

• Focus of such expenditure is on the transport and logistics segments.

• Roads & Highways account for the highest share, followed by Railways and Urban Public Transport. The government has set ambitious targets for the transport sector, including development of 2 lakh-km national highway network by 2025 and expanding airports to 220.

• Additionally, plans include operationalizing 23 waterways by 2030 and developing 35 Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs).

• Ensuring raw material security for the Steel sector.

• MoU with Russia: A MoU has been signed between Ministry of Steel and the Russian Federation on 14th October, 2021 for cooperation in the field of coking coal, used for steel making. The MoU will benefit the Indian steel sector by diversifying the sources of coking coal which may lead to reduction in input cost for the steel players due to long term commitment of supply of high-quality coking coal to India (up to 40 MT till 2035).

• DRI Making through Coal Gasification in Iron & Steel Making.

• Key initiatives for Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Power Division Performance and Outlook:

The power sector especially the thermal power sector where our company is invested in, is facing big constraints on account high coal prices at which the operations are unviable. However, India''s dependence on Thermal power about 50% currently, will keep the sector going in the near future. The market dynamics would reconcile to a sustainable level of costs and revenue of produces and consumers overtime subject however to robust government policies.

Future outlook:

The international coal prices have softened and are quickly reaching back to their original positions. Company estimates that the coal prices would remain stable at the reduced levels and the company can improve its utilisation levels thereupon. Outlook is expected to be favourable.

Synthetic Division - Performance and Outlook:

The Synthetic Division performance was affected due to recession in the international markets due to which the turnover was down by about 40%. The markets have shown improvement recently and the future looks to be good at present as the demand and prices seem to improve.

The Auditors'' Report on the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 contains the following observations:

Sl. No.	Qualification, Reservation or Adverse Remark or Disclaimer made by the Statutory Auditors	Management’s Reply
1	Basis for Qualified Opinion: Balance confirmations and ECL Provisioning: For the financial year ending 31st March 2024, we have not received confirmation of balances in respect of trade payables and trade receivables except for a few. The management represented that these balances are realizable/settled in the ordinary course of business. In the absence of confirmation of balances, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments by way of Provision for Expected Credit losses/ Write-off / Write-back were necessary at the year end.	Company has sought confirmation of Balances from the Debtors and Creditors and based on the confirmation received suitable entries have been passed if so required. Further the communication given to the Debtors or creditors indicates clearly that if no information is received within the stipulated time the balance as per the companies'' books would be deemed to be correct. The management periodically assesses realizability of Debtors and liability in terms of the payables and makes suitable ECL provision. Company would make suitable assessment again and make suitable adjustment for credit losses or write backs.
2	Emphasis of Matter: During the financial year ended 31.03.2023, the Company had repaid the entire loans availed from Banks and obtained a no dues certificate from each bank as per the compromise settlement entered into with them. The company has settled all its dues as per the terms of the Compromise Settlement with its bankers and does not expect any additional obligation out of the Compromise Settlement. Further, the Company had obtained a techno-economic due diligence study on the viability of operations and projections for the future on 28.01.2023 from Cormed Management Services Pvt. Ltd. Though the Company has recorded losses for the financial year under audit, the management strongly believes that the Company will be able to implement the recommendation of the techno economic due diligence study report in all aspects and make a complete turnaround. The Company has also prepaid a portion of the loan borrowed, consequent to which it expects a reduction in the interest costs in the upcoming years (Reference is drawn to Note No.6 of the Standalone Financial Statements).	The management of the company has evaluated conditions such as financial, operating and other conditions that determine company''s ability to continue its performance and improve the same further. Techno Economic Due dilligence report is the basis on which the company has attracted investment and could raise funds to clear its dues to the Banks, fund its capex and working capital requirement.

The Auditors'' Report is enclosed with the financial statements forming part of this Annual Report.

Details of Loans, Guarantees and Investments covered under the provisions of Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013 are given in the notes to the Financial Statements.

OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK

During the year under review, a prolonged demand slump and growing interest cost has affected the performance of your Company. The sales and other receipts declined by 3.88% YOY to Rs.124026.64 lacs. EBITDA dropped by 24.14% YOY to Rs. 1430.15 lacs and PAT increased by 39.70% YOY to Rs.(3672.06) lacs. As in the past during the current year also there were drastic power cuts consequently affecting our costs and also the production. The other additional Power Plant of 35 MW capacity is under implementation and expected to commence its commercial operation shortly.

Some or the (actors attributable to the decline / changes in the profit margins and their impact on the performance of your Company are given hereunder;

The decline in demand for steel in India during the previous two years has caused significant impact on the revenues of your Company. The Government of India had earlier envisaged that the growth in steel consumption to be over 10% based on which additional capacities in steel industry were established in the country. However, due to the lack of demand, the offtake has been much below the anticipated sales. Hence,the turnover in steel has come down causing impact on the profit margins of your Company.

There has also been pressure on pricing the goods due to the lack of demand. The dumping of steel in India by China also contributed in pricing the products of your Company at low value.

The other factors that impacted the revenues and the profit margins were high cost of raw materials without any commensurate increase in the selling prices of steel and steel products. The increase in the manufacturing overheads in synthetic division on account of high cost of raw materials also affected the performance of your Company.

The resulting losses were being offset by increased profitability derived from the power division. Your Company was able to contain the losses by means of better cost management and reduction in interest costs despite increased interest bearing debts on account of Corporate Debt restructuring the company underwent during the year.

DIVIDEND

The Directors do not recommend any Dividend for the year under review on account of losses incurred during the year.

OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK

During the year under review, a prolonged demand slump and growing interest cost has affected the performance of your Company. The sales and other receipts grew 11.87% YOY to Rs.129033.04 lakhs. EBITDA dropped by 12.46% YOY to Rs.5923.75 lakhs.

As in the past during the current year also there were drastic power cuts consequently affecting our costs and also the production. The other additional Power Plant of 35 MW capacity is under implementation and expected to commence its commercial operation shortly.

Some of the factors attributable to the decline in the profit margins and their impact on the performance of your Company are given hereunder;

Late implementation of Power Plant:

Despite achieving Commercial Operation during December 2012, synchronization of the Power Plant with Grid was achieved by end of July 2013. This delay was attributable to the right of way issue prevailed while laying the transmission towers from Power Plant to TNEB Substation. The Company had installed 48 towers instead of 30 towers as per norms of TNEB on account of right of way issue - a critical factor that had caused delay in implementing the project. Further, the uncertainty and high cost associated in Grid Connectivity had also delayed the whole process of Commercial production by one year. This total delay of one year resulted into loss of Revenue.

Operational inefficiency in Wire Rod:

Your Company has shifted the entire operation of TMT Rod from its Ambattur unit to Gummidipoondi unit and been installing new technology for Wire Rod, a value added product of TMT Bars. This production of wire rods results in saving handling cost and reduces the end cutting wastages.

However, the equipments imported by the Company had not been performing at its optimum level. Your Company had entered into contract with Morgardshammar AB of Sweden for setting up of Wire Rod Machine and with Sund Birsta, Sweden for setting up the handling equipment. Both the Companies are renowned names among the Steel Manufacturing and in the past supplied the equipment to other steel competitors in Indian Market. The output at desired level could not be achieved on account of fault in handling equipments. This has further resulted in production loss and revenue loss. The vendors have acknowledged the fault and started working to resolve the defects and deficiencies in the equipments.

Increase in the Interest Cost due to delay in the Project:

The base rate of your Company''s bankers has remained at higher level. The much anticipated decrease in the interest rate has not been materialized leading to high interest cost. Further, the delay in the setting up of the Company''s Power Plant and delay in stabilization of Wire Rod division, both have contributed for the revenue loss. The payments of standing finance costs to the Bankers by way of interest on Term Loan / working capital during the periods of delay in the implementation of the power plant / operation of wire rod unit further resulted into revenue loss.

Foreign Exchange fluctuation:

Your Company had imported Scrap and Coal approximately 234861.619 MT. Despite entering into forward booking contract, the foreign exchange fluctuations prevailed during FY 2013-14 impacted the Company''s revenue to a greater extent and resulted into loss in revenue.

The price of steel scrap has remained stable whereas the price of TMT bars has been dropped. This has led to the shrunk in the gap between the price of the raw material and the finished product thereby causing significant decline in the profit margins. The off-take of steel has been very bad as the steel companies which were anticipated to grow close to 7% per year have grown only close to 1% thereby creating excess capacity in the country causing the steel prices to become lower.

The growth in the steel market is expected to be muted in the short term on account of poor growth in core consumer sectors such as infrastructure and construction. Domestic steel prices are also influenced by trends in raw material prices, demand - supply conditions in the market, international price trends among others. The steel industry is characterized by high capital intensity, high dependence on bulk raw materials, cyclical growth trends, perpetual over- capacity and relatively low profitability.

The Indian economy was expected to grow at 10% and the steel consumption was expected to increase by 12% annually. However, the country''s growth has come down to 4.5% and the steel consumption has increased by meagre 2% only. This has caused the problem of over capacity.

Since 2008, the global economies, including India, have experienced a significant turbulence and uncertainty. Despite some stability coming back from actions taken in response to the emerging challenges worldwide, the global economic recovery remains fragile. This has affected the growth path of the Indian steel industry in more than one ways. The world witnessed volatility in commodity prices, more particularly in the case of those related to the steel industry such as iron ore, coking coal, nickel, manganese ores, and non-coking coal. This left a profound impact on the steel industry globally since 2008 and running into 2014. Also, during this period, global steel production and consumption growth have slowed down and the world is faced with an excess capacity in crude steel making to the tune of over 550 million tones. While the Indian steel demand and production have grown steadily till 2011-12, the same also has lost pace in the past two years.

The Directors do not recommend any Dividend for the current year.

OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK

The economic crisis and slowdown witnessed in all the sectors during 2008-09 continued during 2009-10 as well.

Your company is well poised in terms of capacity and marketing infrastructure to capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise.

During the year under review, your company has surpassed the figure of production and sales in quantitative terms, as compared to the previous year. However, the profit during the year, before tax was Rs. 1359.45 lacs as against Rs. 1486.20 lakh last year, indicating a decease of 8.53%. The decline in performance is on account of decrease in sales values.

The expansion in the rolling capacity by 150000 Mt/p.a. at Gummudipondi undertaken during 2008-09 has been successfully completed during 2009-2010, with this the Cumulative rolling capacity of the company will be 348000 Mt/p.a. The cost of Raw Material and availability of Power

are two major factors effecting our performance, with this in mind during the year 2009-10, the company has acquired M/s Chitrakoot Steel and Power Pvt Ltd. which is manufacturing sponge iron a basic raw-material for TMT bars. The installed capacity of this plant is 36000 Mt / p.a.. During the year under review there were drastic power cuts to the tune of about 40%, consequently effecting our costs and also the production. Due to these power cuts we could not utilize our capacities in full thus losing out on economies of large scale production. During the current year, your company would be commencing the installation work on the 35 MW thermal power plant at Gummudipondi for which land has already been acquired and term loan sanctions have been received from the Bankers. The rights issue for which necessary approvals were obtained from the share holders in the last AGM, will be done in due course during this year.
