and mitigation procedures adopted to assess the

business segments.

H. PROSPECTS:

We continue to evaluate opportunities to invest in
our group companies and deploy capital to support
their investment plans and / or improve our stakes in
those Companies.

The real estate sector, our core focus area going forward,
has performed remarkably in the last financial year
and with benign inflation environment and reducing
interest regime, should further support the real estate
sector. We see marked improvement in the prospects
of real estate as volume and pricing is witnessing an
uptick across geographies. While commodity price
inflation and availability of labour continue to be a risk,
we believe the improving demand scenario bodes well
for our real estate business.

The sector is likely to continue to strengthen in the
quarters ahead and we will be focused on opportunities
for the development of own land parcels and new
project acquisitions. A consolidation in the real estate
sector is expected to continue, leading to an increase in
the market share of corporate and/or organised players
such as your Company.

Your company will be guided by superior long-term
shareholder value growth in all its endeavours by
maximising returns through timely execution, optimal
financing and fiscal discipline.

I. INTERNAL CONTROLS SYSTEM AND THEIR
ADEQUACY:

The Company has in place an adequate internal controls
system to ensure operational efficiency, accuracy, and
promptness in financial reporting and compliance with

effectiveness of internal controls periodically.

Pig Iron

quality iron ore and increased capacity of peer steel
producers led to increased demand of iron ore, resulting

ore was fluctuating between f 6,700 per MT to f 7,200
per MT for iron ore lumps and between f 6,200 per MT
to f 7,000 per MT with respect to iron ore fines.

With the commissioning of the oxygen plant, the
consumption of pulverized coal injection has increased
and thereby reducing the consumption of coke and
lowering overall manufacturing costs.

after obtaining necessary regulatory clearances and
dispatches of iron ore have commenced from December
2024. Blended average coal price was around USD 220
per metric tonne during the financial year.

The Committee regularly presents the risk assessment and mitigation procedures adopted to assess the reliability of the risk management structure and efficiency of the process before the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company at their respective meetings.

The Committee meets every quarter, discusses all the mapped risks, evaluates future risks and reviews the mitigation plan for the identified risks for all business segments.

H. PROSPECTS:

We continue to evaluate opportunities to invest in our group companies and deploy capital to support their investment plans and / or improve our stakes in those Companies.

The real estate sector, our core focus area going forward, has performed remarkably in the last financial year and even the elevated inflation and higher interest rate regime have not shown any major impact on the real estate sector. We see marked improvement in the prospects of real estate as volume and pricing is witnessing an uptick across geographies. While commodity price inflation and availability of labour continues to be a risk, we believe the improving demand scenario bodes well for our real estate business.

The sector is likely to continue to strengthen in the quarters ahead and we will be focused on opportunities for development of own land parcels and new project acquisitions. A consolidation in the real estate sector is expected to continue, leading to an increase in the market share of branded organized players such as your Company.

Your company will be guided by superior long-term shareholder value growth in all its endeavours by maximizing returns through timely execution, optimal financing and fiscal discipline.

I. INTERNAL CONTROLS SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

The Company has in place an adequate internal controls system to ensure operational efficiency, accuracy, and promptness in financial reporting and compliance with various laws and regulations.

A. OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY:

WINDMILLS:

The Company has seven Wind Energy Generators (WEGs) in Maharashtra with a total installed capacity of 5.6 Megawatt (MW). The WEGs are located at Tirade Village, Tal. Akole, Dist. Ahmednagar.

The WEGs have generated net wind energy of around

0.84 Crores units of electricity in the period under review as against 0.82 Crores units of electricity in the previous year showing an increase of 2.38 % over the previous year.

During the year under review and till the date of this Report, all WEGs were operational at desired Prime Load Factor.

The Company has obtained Open Access Permission from Maharashtra State Electric Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and is selling the wind power units generated to a leading electric power distribution company which has ensured regular monthly revenue realisation. All windmills are registered with the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) and are eligible for the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

During the year, the Company has also sold 8,174 RECs, which has resulted in revenue of H 0.82 Crores (previous year H 0.88 Crores). The Company is holding 8,226 unsold RECs as on 31 March 2023.

The management has decided to focus on its real estate business and that of its wholly-owned subsidiary and optimize returns on its investment portfolio. In view of the same, the management is desirous of monetizing its assets through the sale and transfer of its Windmill Business on a going concern basis, in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws.

In view of the same, the Audit Committee and the Board has considered and approved the sale of the windmills business of the Company to ISMT Limited, a related party of the Company subject to the requisite governmental, statutory and regulatory approvals, required to be obtained by the Company and / or purchaser, as applicable, including but not limited to the approval from the Ministry Energy Development Agency (MEDA) and Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), as the case maybe, for consummating the said transaction, in its meeting held on 23 May 2023.

REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES:

The Company had entered into a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) with Avante Spaces Limited (Avante) in 2020.

In terms of the BTA, Avante had allotted 6,00,00,000 Unsecured Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) of H 10/- each to the Company, for a consideration other than cash amounting to H 60,00,00,000 (Rupees Sixty Crores Only).

The OCDs were convertible at the discretion of the Avante. The Board of Directors of Avante in its meeting held on 25 April 2023, approved the conversion of 6,00,00,000 OCDs of H 10 each into 27,24,868 fully paid equity shares of Avante of face value of H 10/-each at the price / value of H 253.64 per share, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Your Company transferred its ‘Real Estate Business Undertaking at Kothrud'' on a going concern basis by way of a ‘Slump Sale'' to ASL, for a lump sum consideration of H75 Crores, by executing the Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) in December 2020. ASL has made good progress in the last three years on the multi-use project development in Kothrud. The WIP on the books of Avante is over H 283 Crores and it has sold 1.19 lakh sq. ft. area in "One Avante" commercial project for H 233 Crores. Thus, assets adjusted for all the liabilities are now valued at H 190.48 Crores and per share value is H 253.64 per share.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have considered the proposal of Avante for conversion of the unsecured OCDs into fully paid equity shares of Avante in their respective meeting held on 23 May 2023, the Company will hold 1,02,34,868 equity shares of Avante with a face value of H 10/- each.

OTHERS:

The Company owns lands and buildings thereon and apartments and offices in Pune, New Delhi and Jaipur. The Company has given most of these lands and buildings and offices on leave and license basis to group and other companies which generated revenue of H 27.19 Crores (H 27.08 Crores as on 31 March

2022). We are assessing the leased asset portfolio from monetization and potential development opportunities.

The Company was the promoter of Swaraj Engines Limited (SEL) along with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M) which held 42,16,792 equity shares representing 34.70% of the paid-up capital of SEL. Since M&M controlled the business of SEL and the equity shares of SEL were not part of the core holding of the Company and were illiquid, the Company decided to divest its shareholding in SEL by selling it through an off market transaction to M&M.

The Company sold its entire shareholding, i.e., 21,14,349 equity shares representing 17.41% of the paid-up equity share capital of SEL, to M&M at a price of H 1,400 per equity share amounting to an aggregate of approximately H 296 crores and booked a profit of H 278 crores. This transaction was an off-market inter se transfer between the promoters under Regulation 10(1)(a)(ii) of the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

The Company has also applied for re-classification of the Company from “Promoter” Category to "Public” category shareholder of SEL pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 31A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, (the Regulations).

The Company holds only 683 equity shares of Cummins India Limited (Cummins) and the Company has applied for re-classification of the Company from “Promoter” category to “Public” category shareholder of Cummins pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 31A of the Regulations.

The Company invested H 78.28 Crores to acquire 4.99% stake in ISMT Limited. (step-down subsidiary of your Company being a subsidiary of KFIL which is a subsidiary of your Company). The Company continues to invest its surplus funds in fixed deposits and mutual funds. These investments stood at H 223.03 Crores as on 31 March 2023 (previous year H 11.83 Crores). The Company being CIC, the Company can deploy these funds only in investment in group companies and / or towards real estate business directly or through its subsidiary.

The Committee regularly presents the risk assessment and mitigation procedures adopted to assess the reliability of the risk management structure and efficiency of the process before the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company at their respective meetings.

G. PROSPECTS:

The real estate sector has performed remarkably in the last financial year and even the elevated inflation and recent interest rate hikes have not shown any major impact on the real estate sector. We see marked improvement in the prospects of real estate as volume and pricing is witnessing an uptick across geographies. While commodity price inflation is a short-term risk, we believe the improving dynamics of real estate will offset the headwind from rise in commodity prices.

The sector is likely to continue to strengthen in the quarters ahead and we will be focused on opportunities for development of own land parcels and new project acquisitions. A consolidation in the real estate sector is expected to continue, leading to an increase in the market share of branded organized players such as your Company.

Your company will be guided by superior long-term shareholder value growth in all its endeavours by maximizing returns through timely execution, optimal financing and fiscal discipline.

H. INTERNAL CONTROLS SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

The Company has in place an adequate internal controls system to ensure operational efficiency, accuracy, and promptness in financial reporting and compliance with various laws and regulations.

The internal controls system is supported by the internal audit process. An Internal Auditor has been appointed for this purpose. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the Internal Audit Report and the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls periodically.

The REC Trading Exchange was not in operation in quarters 1 and 2 and hence no sale transaction could be done during these quarters.

KFIL achieved Net Sales of ? 3,614.97 Crores as compared to ? 2,038.08 Crores in the previous year. The Profit Before Tax for the year under review stood at ? 542.69 Crores as compared to ? 363.19 Crores of the previous year after providing for depreciation and amortisation.

During the year under review, KFIL maintained the leadership position in the castings business, which recorded a growth of 23.60% over previous year, with substantial capacity utilisation improvement in Foundry Line II at Koppal Plant. The operations of the Pig Iron Plant of KFIL at Hiriyur was stabilised and the Sinter project was completed as per the timeline. The plant was operational throughout the year and contributed both in volume growth and value growth of KFIL.

KFIL sold 4,95,555 MT of Pig Iron (includes 1,50,431 MT from Hiriyur Plant] valued at ? 2,201.77 Crores as compared to 3,13,690 MT of Pig Iron valued at ? 1,067.32 Crores in the previous year.

During the year under review, iron ore prices increased from around H 6,500 per MT in April 2021 to around H 8,000 per MT by June 2021 and prices remained range bound till October 2021. However, prices started reducing from November 2021 and touched around H 6,000 per MT by March 2022. The fluctuation in iron ore prices is mainly attributed to variation in steel production in China.

During the year under review, prime coking coal prices which was around USD 135 per MT in the first quarter moved upto USD 430 per MT by January 2022 due to inclement weather and pandemic restrictions resulting in reduced production of coal in Australia. Further, the Russia Ukraine war contributed to increased prices for prime coking coal from USD 430 per MT to around USD 625 per MT by the end of March 2022.

KFIL mitigated the risk of variation in the coking coal prices by strategic sourcing of coking coal when the prices of coking coal were economical. Further during the year, the agreement for conversion of coal to coke helped in mitigating the coke price fluctuations. Both these strategies Contributed in substantial reduction in coke costs and helped in increasing the profitability of KFIL.

The Coke Oven Plant and the Power Plant were operated throughout the year at rated capacity, which helped KFIL to achieve substantial improvement in cost reduction and thereby contributing to the profitability of KFIL.

A. OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY: WINDMILLS:

The Company has seven windmills in Maharashtra with total installed capacity of 5.6 Megawatt (MW). The windmills are located at Tirade Village, Tal. Akole, Dist. Ahmednagar. The windmills have generated net wind energy of 49.05 Lakh units of electricity in the year under review as against 89.93 Lakh units of electricity in the previous year showing decrease of 54% over the previous year.

During the year under review, generation of units from the windmills has gone down due to various reasons viz., major break down of one Wind Energy Generator (WEGs) during the period of 7 months, non-availability of timely maintenance due to internal issues of Wind World India Limited (WWIL), service providers, unfavorable weather conditions and agitation by local people against operation of windmills.

The Company is required to apply for Open Access Permission to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) every Financial Year. Currently, the Company has the necessary Open Access Permission and is selling the wind power units generated to a third party consumer.

All the seven windmills are registered with the National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC)and are eligible for the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). During the year, the Company has sold 5,120 RECs as against 3,243 RECs in the previous year. This has resulted in revenue of Rs. 77 Lakhs (previous year Rs. 49 Lakhs) during the year. The Company is having 10,537 RECs units as on 31 March 2017 (previous year 9,593 units).

OTHERS:

Kirloskar CSR Foundation is reduced to 19.60% from 20% as on 31 March 2017.

B. COMPANY PERFORMANCE:

During the year under review, your Company earned an income of Rs. 4,797 Lakhs (previous year Rs. 7,670 Lakhs). The fall in income in the year under review is on account of most of the companies, in which your Company holds shares have not declared any dividend in the year under review. In the previous year, these companies had declared dividend twice.

In the year under review, the Company received dividend of Rs. 713 Lakhs declared by the investee companies for the Financial Year2016-17.

C. HUMAN RESOURCES:

As on 31 March 2017, the Company has 8 employees on its roll, including the Executive Director.

D. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN:

Human resource is the key resource for the continuous growth and development of a company. The Company strongly believes that an equity component in the compensation goes a long way in aligning the objectives of an individual with those of the organization.

To enable the employees, present and future, to share the wealth that they help to create for the organization over a certain period of time, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 4 July 2017, considered and approved to introduce and implement “Kirloskar Industries Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan 2017” (KILESOP2017) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014, (SEBISBEB Regulations), subject to the approval of the members.

E. CONCERNS AND THREATS:

Following are the identified risk/ concerns and threats for the operations of the Company:

- Natural calamities like cyclones, earthquake and fire or act of God damage the windmills.

- Agitation by the local people against the operation of windmills.

- Frequent and erratic changes in the Open Access Rules and Regulations and administrative delay in issuing Open Access Permission.

- Underutilization by customer of units generated specially due to non-working in various Time Zones.

- Major maintenance due to failure of important components of the windmills.

- Disturbances and failure in the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) grid.

- Non-availability of timely maintenance by service provider adversely affecting the operations of the windmills.

F. PROSPECTS:

Wind energy generation is largely dependent on natural factors such as velocity of wind, continuity of the flow, etc. and are unpredictable and beyond control. The business is also largely impacted adversely by frequent and erratic changes made by the MSEDCL in the open access policies.

The market for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) continues to be sluggish; this trend is expected to continue in the current Financial Year. Consequently, there is a risk of RECs getting lapsed. Further, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission vide its order dated 30 March 2017, reduced the realizable rate of RECs from f 1,500/unit to f 1,000/unit. Considering the same, the Company is evaluating the proposal of selling green energy i.e., without availing RECs benefits.

KFIL participated in the auction of mines but the mines have been won by other companies a price which was not economical to KFIL.

Government has informed that the Financial Year 2017-18, would be an important year for the mining industry as there are around 300 mineral blocks to be leased (of which, Karnataka alone has about 100 odd leases). These mines would be auctioned in different states during the Financial Year 2017-18. KFIL will pursue in its efforts to acquire iron ore mines from the e-auction.

Iron ore mining is slowly opening up and presently 29 mines have been allowed for mining 33 million tons per annum. As demand is higher than the actual mining, iron ore prices in Hospet sector are still higher.

During the year under review, KFIL repaid entire outstanding amount of long term loans. Also KFIL has been able to reduce considerably the financing cost of working capital facilities by availing facilities at a very competitive rate.

KFIL has undertaken the following projects during the year under review:

1) Commenced the civil work for machine shop at Koppal Plant and is expected to be completed in first half of Financial Year 2017-18. Simultaneously KFIL is working on getting the orders for machined castings from its customers and also on procuring machines for machining of castings. Machine shop will be commissioned progressively in a phased manner based on the order position. The completion of machine shop will facilitate an increase in business by bringing more value added items for KFIL.

2) Installation of fettling facilities for superior casting finish at Solapur Plant.

3) Up gradation of Mini Blast Furnace I resulting in lower coke consumption and increasing the production capacity of pig iron.

4) Commenced Railway siding project and the civil work has been completed. The project is expected to be completed in Financial Year 2017-18. Completion of this project will facilitate inward movement of raw materials and outward movement of pig iron resulting in reduction in cost of transportation and handling losses.

Management Discussion and Analysis:

The Company has seven windmills in Maharashtra with total installed capacity of 5.6 MW, located at Tirade Village, Tal- Akole, Dist. - Ahmednagar. Operational performance of windmills is commented upon in this Management Discussion and Analysis.

Operations of the Company:

Windmills:

The Company has seven windmills in Maharashtra with total installed capacity of 5.6 MW. The Mills are located at Tirade Village, Tal- Akole, Dist. - Ahmednagar. The windmills have generated net wind energy of 78.95 lakhs units of electricity in the year under review as against 89.64 lakhs units of electricity in the previous year. The decline was due to machine performance issues with the service providers, unfavorable weather conditions and shut-down of one windmill for repairs in August 2010. These units of electricity generated were captively consumed by the Company before the Scheme of Arrangement came into effect. On the coming into effect of the Scheme, in the year under review, the Company approached Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) requesting an amendment to the Wind Energy Wheeling and Banking Agreement permitting sale of such units to Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. (KOEL) which has been entered into as on the date of this Report.

Others:

The Company owns land and buildings thereon in Pune, and apartments and offices in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi and Jaipur. The Company continues the leave and license arrangements in respect of most of these land and buildings, and apartments / offices, with Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. (KOEL) and other companies in the Group.

The Company has invested Rs. 450 crores (previous year Rs. 175 crores) in the equity shares of various companies, which are mainly Group companies.

During the year under review, your Company acquired equity shares of Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL). Pursuant to the said acquisition, the Companys holding in KBL has been increased from 10.42% to 23.93%.

The Company sold its investments in Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (HDFC). The proceeds from the said sale have been placed as fixed deposits with scheduled commercial banks. The total amount placed as fixed deposits as on 31 March 2011 is Rs. 67 crores.

Company Performance:

During the year under review, your Company achieved an income of Rs. 68.9 crores (previous year Rs. 50.7 crores).

The profit before tax is Rs. 60.2 crores (previous year Rs. 42.2 crores) after providing for depreciation of Rs. 3.1 crores (previous year Rs. 3.1 crores).

Human Resources:

The total number of employees as on 31 March 2011 are 6.

Concerns and Threats:

Following are the identified risk/ concerns and threats for the operations of the Company.

- Natural calamities like cyclones, earth quake and fire or act of God may damage the windmills.

- Agitation by the local people against the operation of wind mills.

- Major maintenance due to failure of important components of the windmills.

- Disturbances and failure in the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited grid.

- Delay in registration of the Companys project for Voluntary Credit Scheme resulting in delay in obtaining the benefits from sale of such Voluntary Emission Reduction certificates.

Prospects:

Wind energy generation is largely dependent on natural factors such as velocity of wind, continuity of the flow, etc. and therefore cannot be commented upon. However, in addition to unit generation, the Company may also get the benefits of Renewable Energy Certificate Mechanism and Clean Development Mechanism benefits under the Voluntary Carbon Scheme (VCS). The Company has already made a detailed submission to authorised validator for registration of the project under VCS and obtaining Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER). The registration process as well as generation of VER is expected to be completed during the year. Your Company expects to receive additional monetary benefits from the sale of such VER.

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:

Renowned auditing firms continue to conduct the Internal Audits of the business of the Company. The internal audit program is designed to ensure extensive review of the business of the Company and is not restricted only to a review of finance and accounting functions. The Internal Auditors also check, validate and report on the internal controls in place in the areas covered during the audit.

Cautionary Statement:

Statements in this Report, particularly those which relate to Management Discussion and Analysis, describing the Companys objectives, projections, estimates and expectations may constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Actual results might differ materially from those either expressed or implied.
