The Board of Directors are pleased to present the 41^st Annual Report of India Nippon Electricals Limited ("the Company") along
with the audited financial statements (Standalone and Consolidated) for the financial year ended 31^st March, 2026.

1. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

2. FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The Company delivered a strong financial performance
during FY 2025-26, significantly outperforming broader
industry growth despite a challenging macroeconomic
and geopolitical environment. This growth was
primarily driven by increased business from existing
customers, sustained leadership in ISG products, and
the Company’s ability to successfully defend its market
position amid competitive pressures.

The Company also benefited from favorable GST
reforms and rationalization measures during the year,
which supported demand momentum and enhanced
operational efficiency. An improved sales mix, with
a higher contribution from exports and aftermarket
(AFM) sales, further strengthened revenue quality and
profitability.

Profit After Tax (PAT) increased 35.6% to ' 11,126 Lakhs
during the year. Total revenue grew by 26% year-on-year
to ' 106,848 Lakhs, driven by robust product demand
and strong customer relationships. EBITDA improved
from ' 12,363 Lakhs to ' 14,924 Lakhs, supported
by material cost optimization initiatives, a favorable
product mix, and increased contributions from export
and aftermarket businesses.

During the year, the Company absorbed the additional
gratuity liability arising from the implementation of the
new labour code and incurred market development
expenses for future product lines, including sensors.
However, a sharp increase in commodity prices during
the fourth quarter exerted pressure on margins.
The Company is actively pursuing appropriate
compensation mechanisms with customers through

price revisions and by mitigating commodity price
volatility through indexing arrangements for currently
non-indexed commodities.

Geopolitical developments in West Asia contributed to
inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints,
particularly in the availability of certain raw materials.
Additionally, freight cost escalations and continued
depreciation of the Indian Rupee may exert pressure
on margins in the near term. The Company remains
focused on cost optimization, operational efficiency,
and strategic pricing actions to mitigate these
challenges and sustain its growth momentum.

2.1. Transfer to Reserves

The Company retained the entire surplus in the Profit
and Loss Account and hence no transfer to General
Reserve was made during the Year.

3. INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND
ADEQUACY

The Company has established a robust internal
financial framework including Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting and anti-fraud framework. The
Company’s internal control systems are commensurate
with the nature of its business, the size and complexity
of its operations and such internal financial controls
concerning the financial Statements are adequate. The
Company has engaged an auditor who is a strong and
independent external firm specializing in internal audit.

Internal Audit firm functionally reports to the Chairman of
the Audit Committee, thereby maintaining its objectivity
and independence. The framework is regularly
reviewed by the management and audit committee and
strengthened, from time to time to ensure adequacy
and effectiveness of internal financial controls. While
Internal controls over Financial Reporting is certified by
the Statutory Auditors, the Chief Financial Officer and
the Managing Director certifying the adequacy of over¬
all Financial Controls to the Audit Committee and Board
on quarterly/ annual basis.

The Current system of internal financial control is
aligned with statutory requirements. Effectiveness
of internal financial control is ensured through
management reviews, controlled self-assessment and
independent testing by external independent Internal
Auditor.
