1. State of Company's Affair
In FY 202425, India remained a beacon of economic resilience amid
global uncertainties, registering a GDP growth of 6.5% and retaining its status as the
fastestgrowing major economy. Robust momentum was seen across services, manufacturing and
agriculture, supported by declining inflation, improved fiscal indicators and rising FDI
inflows. The fourth quarter alone recorded a striking 7.4% growth, underscoring the
economy's steady revival despite external shocks. Governmentled infrastructure
development, supportive monetary policy and strong private consumption continued to drive
economic activity, creating a conducive environment for industries like recycling that
contribute to sustainability and import substitution.
The global lead recycling industry witnessed steady progress, with over
60% of refined lead supply met through secondary sources. Demand remained strong across
automotive, telecom, renewable energy and backup power sectors. However, the sector
continues to face challenges such as informal recycling, regulatory gaps and raw material
volatility. In India, where over 85% of lead demand is fulfilled through recycling, formal
players like Gravita have benefited from enhanced compliance enforcement, growing
institutional demand and regulatory push through Battery Waste

aluminium and plastic recycling segments are also gaining traction, supported by
electrification trends, sustainable packaging needs and increasing industrial uptake.
