We are pleased to share with you very positive financial results of the quarter and half year ended as on September 30, 2023. The Company’s strategy to focus on retail business by reducing project business is helping to achieve better growth, cash flow and profitability without any additional working capital support.

As per IMD report overall rainfall for monsoon season 2023 was 94% of its long period average and it was spread reasonably well across India. Historically, 2QFY24 is softer in terms of sales revenue due to rainy season and lower activity. However, the Company witnessed 33% growth in revenue and 45% growth in EBITDA on YoY basis with better demand in Plastic business coupled with good demand under JJM, gaining market share in MIS, Pipes, TC and also food business in India and abroad.

Strong volume growth in domestic business and good performance across subsidiaries helped the Company to post 26% growth in Revenue and 56% growth in EBITDA on Consolidated basis during 2QFY24 on YoY basis.

The Company is committed to reduce its overall debt, improving working capital cycle in terms of DSO and margins while managing the growth. The Company continues to focus on its product innovation, sustainable environmental solution to farmers and retail business by expanding its dealers network across India. We expect continued positive momentum in the second half of the current fiscal.
