Lakhs. Profit before tax however decreased by 0.80% to '' 2,741.86 Lakhs in comparison to '' 2,763.98 Lakhs. The Company

revenue. Profit after tax also decreased by 2.65% to '' 2,033.63 Lakhs in comparison to '' 2,089.05 Lakhs in preceding Financial
Year. Earnings per share for the year stood at '' 8.90 as compared to '' 9.15 in the preceding Financial Year; this drop is akin to
the drop in profit after tax in percentage terms.

which is putting a lot of pressure on revenue as well as margins. Manufacturers of auto components are also expanding their
operations by way of launching newer product lines only for aftermarket.
Despite the challenging market situation, the Company has managed to consolidate its market share given its strong branch
network, infrastructure and support from its dealer network. This is result of the progressive policies followed by the Company

working in future. The Company is continuing the work done on the mobile application which shall help in enhancing the efficiency
of the sales staff. Pricing, inventory, outstanding data is available at their fingertips. The salespersons can now book the customerâs
order via the application itself, thus saving a lot of time and effort for the branch staff. The Company expects a significant increase
in productivity with wider use of the application in times to come.

During the year under review, revenue from operations has increased by 3.58% to '' 42,332.28 Lakhs in comparison to '' 40,868.86 Lakhs. Profit before tax however decreased by 8.91% to '' 2,763.98 Lakhs in comparison to '' 3,034.23 Lakhs. This is on account of reduction in gross margin due to shift in competition in the market. Profit after tax also decreased by 8.35% to '' 2,089.05 Lakhs in comparison to '' 2,279.35 Lakhs in preceding Financial Year. Earnings per share for the year stood at '' 9.15 as compared to '' 9.98 in the preceding Financial Year.

Overheated supply and increased competition in the market affected the margins and increased our inventory levels. The OEMâs have expanded their presence in the aftermarket spares which is putting a lot of pressure on our margins. Manufacturers of auto components are also expanding their operations by way of launching newer product lines only for aftermarket.
Given the above factors, we are continuing to make inroads with existing products within our network by increasing the number of branches. Your Company opened 3 branches in FY 2023-24. With the strong support and expansion of products of our principals clubbed with the inventory holding capacity of the Company, your Company was able to increase its revenue but with a drop in gross margin.
Despite the challenging market situation, we have managed to consolidate our market share given our strong branch network, infrastructure and support from our dealer network. This is result of the progressive policy followed by the Company over the years. These progressive policies will be continued, and we look forward to a stronger and more effective working in future. This year, the Company successfully launched its own mobile application designed to enhance the efficiency of the sales staff. Pricing, inventory, outstanding data will now be available at their fingertips. A salesperson also has the ability to book the customerâs order via the application itself, thus saving a lot of time and effort for the branch staff. We expect a significant increase in productivity with wider use of the application in times to come.
Your Company also realizes its responsibility towards the environment and the registered office today generates most of its own power requirement through solar power. We have also undertaken measures to reduce wastage of resources like paper, water, electricity etc.

Their operations and production also came back to the normal levels.
Even with the above factors, we are continuing to make inroads with new products and within our network by increasing the number of branches. With the strong support of our principals as well as the inventory holding capacity of the Company, your Company was able to grow and maintain the bottom line in Financial Year 2022-23.
In spite of the challenging situation, we managed to consolidate our market share given our strong increased branch network, infrastructure and full support from our dealer network. This is result of the progressive policy followed by the Company over the years. These progressive policies will be continued and we look forward to a stronger and more effective working in future.
