5. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Global Markets

The fiscal year 2023-24 was a challenging period for the global economy, characterized by a confluence of factors that created a volatile market environment. Lingering geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and ongoing supply chain disruptions posed significant challenges for investors and businesses alike.

Global economic growth remained sluggish, with many major economies experiencing slower expansion compared to pre-pandemic levels. Rising interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties weighed on economic

activity, creating a challenging backdrop for businesses and consumers. Inflationary pressures persisted, albeit at a moderated pace compared to earlier in the fiscal year. Central banks worldwide implemented monetary tightening measures to curb inflation, which led to increased borrowing costs for businesses and individuals, potentially dampening economic activity.

Geopolitical conflicts, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war, contributed to market volatility and disrupted supply chains for certain commodities and goods. Supply chain disruptions, exacerbated by the pandemic and geopolitical factors, persisted, leading to shortages of certain products and contributing to inflationary pressures.

Looking ahead, the global economic outlook for FY 2024-25 remains uncertain. While there are expectations for a gradual recovery, several risks and challenges persist. Inflationary pressures could necessitate further monetary tightening measures, impacting economic growth. Continued geopolitical tensions could disrupt global trade and investment flows. Addressing supply chain vulnerabilities remains a priority to ensure a more resilient global economy. High levels of public and private debt in many countries pose risks to financial stability.

Global growth, estimated at 3.2 percent in 2023, is projected to continue at the same pace in 2024 and 2025. Global headline inflation is expected to fall from an annual average of 6.8 percent in 2023 to 5.9 percent in 2024 and 4.5 percent in 2025.

Indian Equity Markets

The global stock market experienced a tumultuous period, characterized by periods of both gains and losses. The uncertainty surrounding economic conditions and geopolitical events created a challenging environment for investors worldwide. Certain sectors, such as technology and healthcare, demonstrated relative strength, benefiting from factors like technological advancements and increased healthcare spending. However, sectors like energy and materials faced headwinds due to fluctuating commodity prices and economic indicators.

Emerging markets, including India, witnessed a mixed performance. While some emerging markets demonstrated resilience, others were impacted by factors such as currency fluctuations and domestic economic challenges. The overall performance of emerging markets was influenced by global economic conditions, investor sentiment, and country-specific factors.

Despite the global headwinds, the Indian stock market exhibited a notable degree of resilience. Several factors contributed to its performance. India''s strong domestic economic fundamentals, including robust growth, a relatively stable currency, and government initiatives to boost investment, provided a supportive backdrop for the stock market. Foreign investors continued to show interest in the Indian market, attracted by its long-term growth prospects and diverse sectors. Certain sectors, such as information technology and pharmaceuticals, led the Indian market, benefiting from strong fundamentals and global demand. Government policies aimed at promoting economic growth, improving infrastructure, and fostering a favourable business environment played a positive role in supporting the stock market.

Risks and Concerns

The very nature of the Company’s business makes it subject to various kinds of risks. The Company encounters credit risk and operational risks in its daily business operations.
