3 OPERATIONS:

I. Production & Sales:

During the year under review there was normalcy in terms of Production and Sales. Our Production, Sales, and Revenue from Operations were higher compared to the preceding year, reflecting consistent operational performance and market demand.

The Company made suitable arrangements with indigenous producers and also supplemented with imports to ensure an uninterrupted supply of copper during the year. Efforts are ongoing to proactively tie up copper supplies for FY 2025-26, given the expected supply constraints in the domestic market.

The year also saw inflationary pressures, driven by rising costs of chemicals, varnishes, salaries and wages, export freight, and power tariffs in our area. Despite these challenges and a high interest rate regime, your Company continued to discharge all its financial and operational commitments on time, without delays or defaults.

The domestic demand remained stable, even amidst geopolitical uncertainties such as the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, and volatility after the US Presidential election.

Looking ahead to FY 2025-26, macroeconomic conditions are expected to remain challenging due to heightened global tensions (Ukraine/Middle East, India-Pakistan, US-China), a reset in global trade dynamics, and fluctuating raw material prices and exchange rates.

II. Exports:

Exports were satisfactory during the year, despite facing stiff competition and tariff discrimination in international markets.

The Company managed to maintain export volumes and performance, supported by a steady demand in key overseas markets. Despite the complex global environment, export demand remained stable, contributing to the Company's balanced revenue mix.

III. Copper Price:

There was notable volatility in copper prices and exchange rates during the year under review:

n I terms of USD per MT, the average copper price increased by approximately 13% compared to FY 2023-24.

The Indian Rupee weakened by around 2% on average during the year.

As a matter of policy and risk mitigation, the Company continued to follow a strategy of back-to-back transactions-purchasing copper against confirmed sales orders to minimize exposure to market fluctuations.

On the supply side, the Tuticorin smelter of Vedanta Limited, a key supplier, remained shut throughout the year. Hindalco Industries Limited (Birla Copper), India's principal producer of copper cathodes and rods, operated at high-capacity levels, though their supply may still fall short of the growing domestic demand.

Copper supply remains tight globally, and while Kutch Copper Limited (Adani Group) was expected to begin production in Q1 of FY 2024-25, the project has been substantially delayed and is now likely to commence regular operations in FY 2025-26, with full stabilization taking time.

Additionally, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced Quality Control Orders (QCOs) on critical raw materials like Copper Wire Rods and Cathodes, which has added complexity to the procurement and supply chain processes.

IV. Expansion: Status of Projects a. Completion of 9000 MT/Year Expansion/Modernisation at Silvassa works (Feb 2022 Board Approval)

The Expansion/Modernisation at Silvassa Works, with an additional capacity of 9000 MT per year of Winding Wires made of Copper of various types was successfully completed during April-June 2024, marking a significant milestone in the company's growth and modernization efforts.

b. Ongoing 6000 MT/Year Expansion/Modernisation at Silvassa works (Feb 2024 Board Approval)

A further Expansion/Modernisation of 6000 MT per year of Winding Wires made of Copper of various types was approved in the February 2024 Board Meeting. The project implementation is currently under progress, with several machines already delivered. The Company is actively working on the execution phase, and the project is expected to be fully completed by the end of Q2 FY 2025-26.

c. Proposed 6700 MT/Year Expansion Expansion/Modernisation at Silvassa works (Aug/Nov 2024 Board Approval)

I n the August/November, 2024 Board Meeting, a new Expansion/Modernisation project at Silvassa was approved with an capacity of 6700 MT per year of Winding Wires made of Copper of various types. Most of the equipment has already been ordered. Additionally, Civil Work for the expansion is under progress. The project s i projected to be completed by the end of Q1 FY 2026-27.

d. Proposed Project related to the recycling of Copper Waste and Scrap/Refining of Copper at Zaroli (March, 2025 Board Meeting)

Keeping in mind the strategic benefits, environmental sustainability and economic viability, the Company has recently decided to execute a project at Village Zaroli, Gujarat for Recycling of Copper Waste and Scrap/Refining of Copper for the manufacture of Copper Cathodes. The Board of Directors authorised I n vestment of approx. Rs. 188 Crore (excluding Land) for the said Project.

The Board of Directors at the meeting held on 08th February, 2024, decided to start manufacturing Copper Rods from Copper Cathodes in Gujarat.

The Copper Cathodes produced from above mentioned Recycling/Refining project, will be available from FY 2026-27 onwards and will be internally used for manufacture of Copper Wire Rods.
