The Board of Directors of the Company wish to present the details of
Business Operations carried out during the year under review:
Standalone Performance
The Company has reported a 22.89% increase in revenue from operations,
reaching Rs 464.08 crore in FY 202425, compared to Rs 377.65 crore in the previous
financial year. However, the Net Profit declined to Rs 7.73 crore, as against Rs 10.35
crore in the previous year.
Consolidated Performance

Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements are provided in the Annual Report. On a consolidated basis, the Company has

Rs 406.15 crore in the previous year. However, the Net Profit decreased to Rs 10.14 crore,
from Rs 11.34 crore in the previous year.
The decline in Profit After Tax (PAT) can be attributed to several key
factors across the various regions where the Company operates: India:
Increased in interest cost due to purchase of Fixed Assets.
Execution of certain projects at lower margins.
Rise in interest costs impacting overall profitability.

Higher managerial salary expenses incurred to strengthen
leadership and operations.

Higher expenditure on sponsorship fees.
Addition of a Business Development Manager, resulting in higher
salary costs.

Operations were discontinued due to sustained negative cash
flows.
Administrative and Statutory costs further impacted
profitability prior to the closure.

investments are aligned with the Company's long-term vision of enhancing its global
footprint. The associated costs are expected to generate positive returns in the current
fiscal year through improved operational efficiency and new business opportunities.
