future investments and support the company's continued growth.

3. RESERVES

During the Financial Year 2024-25, no amount has been transferred to General Reserve.

4. PERFORMANCE AND STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS

During the year, total revenue from operations was Rs.27, 022.23 Lakhs an increase of 22.21% as
compared to total revenue from operations of Rs. 22,111.36 Lakhs in the previous year.

The operating profit stood at Rs. 25.60 crore as against Rs. 3.71 crore mainly driven by increase in
realisation and higher operational efficiency on account of savings in power cost.

At Lords Chloro, we recognize the importance of investing in our future to drive long-term growth
and sustainability. During FY2025, we did a capital expenditure to increase our production capacity
of caustic soda, Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) and also added a 16 MW solar power plant to
enhancing our operational efficiency.

5. OVERALL MARKET SCENARIO

The global caustic soda market in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 has demonstrated a resilient growth
trajectory, propelled by consistent demand across key industrial sectors. Valued at approximately
USD 47.4 billion in 2024 and projected to reach around USD 48 billion in 2025, the market continues
to expand steadily. This growth is predominantly driven by the robust requirements of the alumina
industry for aluminium production, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors, alongside
persistent needs from the pulp and paper industry for various processing applications. The escalating
global emphasis on water and wastewater treatment, where caustic soda plays a critical role in pH
adjustment and purification, is also emerging as a significant growth catalyst. Asia-Pacific,
particularly China and India, maintained its dominance as the largest and fastest-growing market,
benefiting from rapid industrialization and urban infrastructure development. While overall supply
remained stable, bolstered by continuous adoption of efficient membrane cell technology and
strategic capacity expansions by major players, localized supply disruptions and the co-production
dynamics with chlorine influenced regional price fluctuations. Despite these variations, the market
generally saw stable prices, with trends influenced by energy costs, logistical efficiencies, and the
health of downstream industries.

6. FUTURE OUTLOOK

The future outlook for the global caustic soda market beyond FY2025 remains positive and
characterized by continued growth, driven by fundamental industrial demand and emerging
applications, alongside an increasing emphasis on sustainability. The global caustic soda market is
projected to reach approximately USD 71.0 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of around 4.7% from
2025 to 2033. This signifies a steady and sustained upward trend. Global demand is forecast to climb
to 116.30 million tons by 2030 from 94.95 million tons in 2025, reflecting a CAGR of 4.14% over this
period. The increasing global demand for lightweight aluminum in sectors like automotive,
aerospace, and construction will continue to fuel the need for caustic soda in the Bayer process.
Continued demand for high-quality fabrics and the use of caustic soda in processes like
mercerization, scouring, and dyeing will support market growth, especially in emerging economies.

In essence, the future of the global caustic soda market is one of stable and consistent expansion,
deeply intertwined with the growth of foundational industries. The shift towards sustainable
production methods and the increasing importance of water treatment will be key themes, ensuring
caustic soda's continued indispensability in the global economy.

During FY25, the Company successfully completed key strategic expansion projects, marking a
significant milestone in its growth journey. The caustic soda capacity was enhanced by 90 tonnes per
day (TPD), taking the total installed capacity to 300 TPD. Additionally, the Company expanded its
chlorinated paraffin wax (CPW) capacity from 20 TPD to 50 TPD and operationalized a 16 MW solar
power plant at its facility. These projects were funded through a balanced mix of internal accruals
and debt, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable and efficient growth.

With these capacities now fully operational, the focus in the near term will be on optimizing plant
utilization, improving operating efficiencies, and deepening downstream chlorine integration. The
Company is actively exploring avenues to strengthen its product mix by targeting both existing and
new chlorine-based derivatives to enhance value addition and drive future growth.

Global demand for caustic soda remains robust, underpinned by supply-side constraints and rising
energy costs. While current global capacities are expected to meet demand until 2026, forecasts
indicate a potential supply-demand mismatch from 2026-2027 onwards if new capacities are not
commissioned, particularly outside India. Lords Chloro Alkali is well-positioned to capitalize on this
emerging opportunity with its enhanced capacities and integrated operations.
