The Company delivered a robust financial performance in the fiscal year 2024-2025, demonstrating significant growth in profitability
and operational efficiency. Net Profit surged to ?2,600 lakhs, a substantial 26% increase from ?2,060 lakhs in the previous year.
This strong bottom-line growth was supported by a steady rise in Gross Sales from Operations and Other Income, which reached
^30,464 lakhs compared to ^29,728 lakhs in FY 2023-2024.
Operational excellence was a key highlight, with production volume of PVC flooring, sheeting, and allied products growing to 28,383
metric tonnes from 27,133 metric tonnes in the prior year. This increase is a direct result of enhanced capacity utilization following
the successful commissioning of new plant and machinery during the year, which has strengthened our manufacturing capabilities.
Key Drivers of Profitability
The notable expansion in profitability was driven by a multi-pronged strategy focused on operational and financial optimization:
* Strategic Cost and Margin Management: The Company successfully implemented a dual strategy of procuring raw materials
at highly competitive prices while maintaining stable selling prices for finished goods. This was complemented by the strategic
discontinuation of product lines with sub-optimal margins, allowing for a concentrated focus on high-demand, high-profitability
categories.
* Financial Optimization: Prudent financial management led to the arrangement of more favourable financing terms, notably with
Yes Bank Limited. This resulted in a measurable reduction in finance costs, directly strengthening the bottom-line performance.
The Company has secured and taken possession of an 18.13-acre industrial plot at SIPCOT Industrial Park. Initial site development
is underway, with the boundary wall completed and infrastructural groundwork in progress. Commercial production at this new
facility is anticipated to commence in the upcoming financial year.
