OPERATIONS - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS:

During the year, your Company announced the signing of
Share and Asset Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of
the business of Stahlschmidt Cable Systems (SCS), out of
insolvency proceedings in Germany. This was a two-stage
acquisition. The first tranche involving European and Moroccan
part was successfully completed effective 1st July 2024. The
second tranche involving the operations in China and Canada
was completed effective 1st June 2025. SCS, a renowned
manufacturer of automotive cable systems, went into insolvency
due to significant losses. Considering manufacturing footprint in
Morocco and China, an engineering and business development
centers in Germany and Canada, makes this an ideal fit for your
company’s long-term plan. With the acquisition of LDC entities
from Kongsberg Automotive 2 years ago and now SCS, your
Company has a perfect global footprint for its customers to offer
onshore, near-shore and low-cost manufacturing footprints,
unmatched by the competitors.

Your Company, on a standalone basis, recorded an operational
income of '17,184.63 million during the financial year
2024-25 as against '15,367.36 million during the financial year

2023- 24 reflecting a growth of 11.83%. Operational EBITDA
for the year was '2,979.27 million during the financial year

2024- 25 as against '2,759.63 million during the financial year
2023-24 recording a growth of 7.96%. The consolidated group
operational income, excluding SCS, was '31,056.40 million
for the financial year 2024-25 as against Rs. 28,958.55 million
for the financial year 2023-24 recording a growth of 7.24%.
The consolidated Operational EBITDA, excluding SCS, for the
year was '4,011.45 million during the financial year 2024-25
as against '3,258.55 million during the financial year 2023-24
recording a growth of 23.11%. Consolidated EBITDA, excluding
SCS at 12.92% shows a significant improvement compared to
the previous year.

The income for the 9 months for acquired operations relating to
SCS in Europe was '1,713.12 Million with an Operational EBITDA
loss of '490 Million This is largely due to the fact that these
entities are acquired from insolvency. It is expected that by the
end of the current financial year SCS entities / assets purchased
are expected to turn EBITDA positive.

Global uncertainty, geopolitical disruptions, and a general
economic slowdown, along with inflation, significant wage
increases in Mexico, special import duties for Chinese products,
etc had its impact on growth. The non-automotive business
remained muted this year. However, strong order wins in the
automotive division across geographies are a clear silver
lining for this division. Operationally, all the plants are
performing satisfactorily. The year also saw the relocation of the
China plant.

Despite these challenges, the operational revenue of the division
grew by 3% with an EBITDA of 9.74% for the year, excluding SCS
entities. The EBITDA margin improved from 6% to 9.7% excluding
SCS, showing a turnaround in operations.

ACQUISITION:

During the year the Company has announced the acquisition
of Stahlschmidt Cable Systems (SCS), out of insolvency
proceedings in Germany. SCS is a well-known Light Duty
Cable maker with a marquee customer base. SCS brings
valuable low-cost manufacturing capabilities in Morocco, a
strong German engineering and sales team, and China exports
through Canada. Headquartered in Germany, SCS has plants in
Morocco and China.

The Acquisition was completed in two stages through Suprajit
USA Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company: The
first stage (Germany, Poland and Morocco) and China, Canada
in second stage. For completion of acquisition the Company
has incorporated Suprajit Germany GmbH, Germany, Suprajit
Canada Limited, Canada and Suprajit (Jiaxing) Automotive
Systems Company Limited, China.

DOMESTIC CABLE DIVISION (DCD):

DCD manufactures cables and certain new products beyond
cables in India.

The DCD performed well with 13% growth in income. The
operational EBITDA was at 16.70% for the year 2024-25 as
against 17.95% for the year 2023-24 largely due to increased
employee strengths at STC and Corporate, to meet the future
requirements of the Company. The division, while consolidating
its position with the OEM customers and aftermarket, will
also focus on ‘Beyond Cables’ projects including CBS, latch
assembly, actuators, other braking products, etc.

PHOENIX LAMPS DIVISION (PLD):

PLD manufacturers Halogen lamps in India for domestic market,
direct exports and through Luxlite. While the operational revenue
remained flat, the division delivered strong EBITDA margin
at 14.8% compared to 12.1% last year. There has been good
traction of Trifa brand in the global market.

SED comprises of Electronics facility at Doddaballapur - a new
division of your Company.

SED sales grew by 27.41% with an operating EBITDA margin of
7.25%. The division established a second SMT line during the
year. One of the key EV customers reduced business volumes
significantly, leading to certain underutilization of the expanded
facility. Significant efforts are put in by the team to ensure
new businesses in domestic and export markets. Deliveries of
actuators, digital clusters, rotary sensors and other products to
customers continue to scale new highs.

SUPRAJIT TECHNOLOGY CENTRE (STC):

STC is the Innovation Center at Suprajit Group, located in
Bengaluru.

STC, is focused on developing multiple products, including
electronics, actuators, digital clusters and braking products.
Working closely with the customers, new contracts have
been won for the products of STC. Many products are under
evaluation with customers. A larger premise to house growing
STC team is being set up at Plot No. 100, Bommasandra Indl.
Area, Bengaluru.

SUPRAJIT CHUHATSU CONTROL SYSTEMS
PRIVATE LIMITED:

During the year the Company has incorporated Suprajit Chuhatsu
Control Systems Private Limited. The Company has signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chuo Spring
Company Limited, Japan (Chuo). This collaboration includes
a 50:50 joint venture (JV) in India to design, manufacture, and
supply transmission cables, and a Technical Assistance (TA)
agreement, which grants JV access to Chuo’s unique Japanese
Transmission cable technology.

The JV and TA will first focus on delivering projects for India’s
two leading Japanese PV OEMs. The collaboration brings
together two globally recognised cable suppliers. It extends
the reach of Chuo’s special Transmission cable technology to
India and may further support Suprajit’s global OEM customers.
The collaboration further expands SEL’s product range to key
Japanese customers, and the transmission cable market, going
forward.

CURRENT YEAR AND OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE:

While the uncertainties related to global conflicts and tariffs
remain unresolved, the year ahead will be a year of consolidation
and growth. The recent announcement of consolidation of Suprajit
Controls Division along with focussed domestic activities and new
product launches will usher a new era for Suprajit and its future
growth. Our strategy to derisk and grow profitably through our
four divisions and STC would create a clear long term sustainable
profitable growth for your company. This will be further strengthened
with our One-Suprajit solution through SAP, IoT, PLM, etc.

Suprajit is one of the few cable companies in the world who
can provide clear options to customers to supply from onshore,
nearshore and low-cost destinations. This makes your Company a
strategically important supplier to our marquee customer base.

Conservation of energy continues to be one of the highest
priority measures directly supervised by the Chief Strategy
officer of the Company. We continue to replace / upgrade old
high power consumption equipment with new more modern
equipment, and these include the Air compressors, Diesel
Gensets, Injection molding machines etc.

The following energy conservation measures
were implemented during the year under review.

• Monitoring and regular review of power consumption,
maintaining the power factor value nearby 0.99 to reduce
the reactive power losses.

• A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)-based system has been
installed in Unit 5, Unit 14, and Unit 16 (60 HP compressor
plants). This initiative will be extended to all other plants in a
phased manner, aligned with capacity expansion, leading to
significant energy savings.

• 954KW solar plant commissioned in Three Phoenix Plants.

• The Company has completed synchronization of: A 320 kVA
and 225 kVA DG with a 500 kWp solar plant at Unit 14, DCD
Chennai. A 320 kVA DG with a 350 kWp solar plant at the
Phoenix Chennai Plant. These measures have eliminated
the need for installing higher capacity generators. Net
metering agreements with TANGEDCO have also been
completed.

• Synchronization of 2 * 500 kVA and 1 * 250 kVA DG sets
has enabled efficient load distribution, fuel savings, and
extended equipment life. In Unit 5 and Unit 12, new DG sets
(500 kVA and 400 kVA respectively) conforming to CPCB IV
norms have been installed.

• Planned to install higher Capacity UPS to prevent
breakdowns due to power losses.

• Piped Natural Gas (PNG) has been installed in NCR-based
plants (PLD-Noida, Manesar, and Pathredi) to reduce air
pollution and improve environmental performance.

• The Company has finalized procurement of 5.89 million
units (MU) of green energy annually through group captive
power vendors, initially for all Karnataka units.

• Machines have been upgraded using Variable Frequency
Drives (VFDs) and Thyristor Power Regulators (TPRs) to
improve efficiency and reduce power consumption. A 22
kW induction motor was replaced with an 18 kW servo
motor in molding machines for additional savings.

• Periodical inspection and testing of DG sets and
transformers have been done as per Indian electricity rule
1956 by Assistant Director Electrical Safety.

• AC drives (VFD) has been installed for high-capacity
induction motors to take care of the power consumption in
AC motors.

In addition, the following new initiatives have
