The Year in Retrospect and Brief description of Company's business during the year
During the FY 2025-26, the Company has recorded growth in its turnover as compared to the previous year. On a consolidated basis, the revenue from operations increased by ' 3,917.77 lakhs, representing an increase of 11.66% over the previous year. However, the profits reduced as compared to the previous year due to increase in input cost and lower realisations. During this year, unforeseen market conditions, climatic variations, regulatory changes in labour laws and geo-political risks had impact on the business volume and profitability.
In order to mitigate the impact, the Company implemented various cost optimisation initiatives, which inter alia included management of price risks, enhancement of operational efficiency, reduction of input cost and automation of manufacturing processes. Further, the Management also adopted a prudent and commercially balanced approach while evaluating and pursuing business opportunities.
The details of business operations undertaken by each division of the Company during the FY 2025-26 is provided below:
i. Manufacturing division:
In this year, though there has been an increase in production and sales, the early monsoons, disruptions in supply chain of raw materials and increase in its prices due to Geo-Political situation had a visible impact on the manufacturing operations. Several initiatives like optimization of resources, driving operational efficiency, diversifying product portfolio allowed the Company to maintain profitability in the uncertain scenario. The Company's strategic business development team, focused manufacturing team, and dedicated workforce have enabled consistent year-on-year growth in business volume while also strengthening customer confidence. This was further validated by the Best Supplier award conferred by one of its customers. Owing to the continued confidence shown by customers, the Company undertook capital expenditure for capacity expansion and installation of new plant and machinery.
ii. Composite division:
The Composite Division located in Pune achieved a revenue growth on account of continued focus on the railway business. In order to curb the impact of challenges faced pursuant to the tariffs imposed on Indian exports into US market, the Company strategically diversified exports to other regions.
Strong engineering capability, consistent high-quality standards of products and fast response time has enabled the Company to be recognised as a preferred partner for supplying Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (FRP) and plastic components to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of rail vehicles.
iii. Paint shop division:
This division plays a key role in enhancing the value of plastic components by improving their appearance, durability and surface finish which are critical quality attributes for customers in the consumer durables segment. In addition, the division has been successful in attracting new customers for painting services, further strengthening its business growth.
iv. Tooling division:
The tooling business involves the manufacture of tools or moulds primarily used in the injection moulding process for producing plastic components. Tool manufacturing requires a high level of expertise and experience. Recognising the need for a strong Tool and Die manufacturing facility in India, the Company has entered into a strategic tie-up with an overseas tooling consultant. The tooling division, earlier based at the Faridabad unit, has now been relocated to the newly expanded facility at Hosur.
v. Haircare division
This division is engaged in the sales and marketing of hair and beauty accessories under its brand named Divo, catering to the general, wholesale and professional segments of the market. It's products are widely used by hair stylists, fashion designers, hairdressers, as well as college students and young working professionals.
During the year, the division enhanced its product portfolio by introducing new ranges of handmade combs in both cellulose acetate and wooden variants. During the year, the brand also received a strong market demand for expansion into the beauty electronics category and it is now developing a select range of products scheduled for launch in the coming year.
