During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, KGPL delivered a strong performance,
demonstrating significant growth across key financial metrics compared to the previous year.
⢠Income from business operations increased by 13.47%, rising from ^33,080.32 lakhs in FY
2023-24 to ^37,538.82 lakhs in FY 2024-25. This reflects improved market demand,
operational efficiency, and strategic execution.
⢠Profit Before Tax more than doubled to ^712.32 lakhs, up from ^288.27 lakhs in the
previous year.
⢠Net Profit After Tax surged by nearly 490%, reaching ^550.81 lakhs compared to ^93.44
lakhs in the prior year.
⢠Basic and diluted EPS stood at ^10.55, a significant increase from ^1.79 in FY 2023-24,
underscoring strong value creation for shareholders.
Despite increases in depreciation and interest expenses, the Company has efficiently managed its
cost structure and leveraged its resources effectively to drive profitability.
Our primary export market, the United States, continues to face inflationary pressures, leading to a
relatively subdued demand environment. Despite these challenging market conditions, the
Company has successfully increased its revenue and demonstrated resilience in sustaining market
share. This has resulted in a significant improvement in profitability, reflecting our strategic focus
and operational efficiency.
The segment-wise performance for the financial year 2024-25 is as follows:
I. Textile Division
During the year, its revenue from operation from Textile Division was Rs. 32,976.4 Lakhs including
export sales of Rs 28,547.14 Lakhs (FOB) as against was Rs. 28,536.15 Lakhs including export sales
of Rs 24,415.54 Lakhs (FOB) in previous year, the overall performance of the division was well
above the industry peers. We have added few new customers and will continue to add more this
year as well to improve company''s performance compared to previous years.
II. Agency Division
This division looks after the consignment stockiest of GAIL (India) Ltd. for marketing and
distribution of polymers in Rajasthan. During the year the Agency Division has sold 13805.90 MT
granules amounting to Rs. 14,504.06 Lakhs in comparison of 20081.6 MT granules amounting to Rs.
22573.05 Lakhs and earned commission of Rs.60.20 Lakhs as compared to last year Rs. 83.44
Lakhs. The division has performed well during the year under review.
III. Technical Textile Division
This division looks after the manufacturing of artificial leather through technical textile. During the
year, revenue from operation from this division was Rs 4,502.15 Lakhs including export sales of Rs.
335.92 Lakhs (FOB) as compared to Rs. 4,460.72 Lakhs including export sales of Rs. 558.60 Lakhs
(FOB) in previous financial year. The performance of the division has fallen this year due to
subdued demand from end-user industries i.e., mainly footwear and automobile. This segment also
faces intense competition from low-cost products and due to this company has increased its focus
on exports and on the automobile sector which should ramp up operations in this segment in
coming years.
3. DIVIDEND
Considering the future expansion plans the Company has not recommended any dividend for the
Financial Year 2024-25.
4. AMOUNTS TRANSFERRED TO RESERVES
Your Board proposed to transfer Rs. 48.58 Lakhs to General Reserve in terms of Section 134(3)(j) of

The performance of the division has fallen this year due to subdued demand from end-user industries i.e., mainly footwear and automobile.
