Dear Stakeholders,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the FY 2023-24 Annual
General Meeting of Confidence Futuristic Energetech Limited. This year has been one of
remarkable achievements and formidable challenges as we navigate the ever-evolving
dynamics of the energy sector, both in India and globally.
The global economy in 2023-2024 has experienced significant volatility.
Rising inflation, geopolitical tensions, and persistent disruptions in supply chains have
created an environment of uncertainty. However, amidst these challenges, certain sectors,
particularly those aligned with sustainable energy solutions, have demonstrated remarkable
resilience. As nations across the globe accelerate their shift towards low-carbon energy
sources, companies like ours, which prioritize innovation and sustainability, are uniquely
positioned to lead and succeed in this transformative landscape.
In India, the energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation.
The government's commitment to expanding the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network and its
focus on promoting cleaner energy options, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), have
created a robust platform for growth in the CNG industry. The ambitious plan to establish
10,000 CNG stations nationwide presents significant opportunities for our company.
Additionally, the increasing emphasis on green hydrogen as a clean energy source is
opening new avenues for innovation and investment, positioning us well for future growth.
The financial year 2023-2024 has been a period of mixed outcomes for
us. Despite the global economic uncertainties, we have delivered a resilient performance.
We made significant progress in our core business areas, particularly in the CNG cylinder
manufacturing segment, where demand continues to rise, driven by India's commitment to
reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner energy sources. However, we faced certain
headwinds, including fluctuating raw material prices and volatility in global markets,
which impacted our margins. Nevertheless, our unwavering commitment to operational
excellence and strategic investments has enabled us to sustain growth and deliver value to
our stakeholders.
A cornerstone of our strategic initiatives this year is the upcoming
establishment of a state-of-the-art Type-4 high-pressure cylinder manufacturing facility
at Butibori, Nagpur. This facility represents a significant leap forward for our
operations, enhancing our production capacity to meet the growing demand for high-pressure
cylinders from various sectors, including automotive, industrial, am emerging green
hydrogen energy markets.
This advanced manufacturing facility will be developed under our
subsidiary Silversky Exim Pvt. Ltd marks a significant expansion of our capabilities.
Type-4 cylinders, constructed from advancei composite materials, offer superior
advantagesthey are lighter, more efficient, and safer thai traditional metal
cylinders. These cylinders will play a pivotal role in supporting the burgeoning greei
hydrogen economy, a sector poised for rapid growth as the world transitions to cleaner
energ sources.
In addition to expanding our production capabilities, we are actively
pursuing new busines opportunities with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and City
Gas Distribution (CGD companies. Our focus is on securing large-scale orders that will
fuel our growth in the coming years By forging long-term partnerships, we aim to solidify
our position as a leading supplier in the high pressure cylinder market.
Looking ahead, our strategy is clear: we will continue to invest in
