associate company as on 31st March, 2024 and there was no change in the nature of business of the Company

The company was mainly engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling LPG Cylinders, Valves &
Regulators and rendering refilling services of LPG Gas. Over the past years, the Company''s financial
performance has drastically been impacted due to certain factors viz pandemic crisis and oil company''s
unsupportive policies. This resulted in low production and Company have incurred heavy losses. To come over
this situation, and to mitigate the working capital requirement, Board of Directors of the Company had decided
to infuse the funds by selling some of its investments during the past years. .
The Company''s business was operating under challenging environment during the financial year 2022-23 due
to various macro-economic factors as mentioned above. Apart from that the high cost of raw material and its
supplies and the high Interest Cost were also the factors which lead reduction in borrowing powers of the
Company and Banks had reduced the working capital exposure of the Company due to downward performance
of the Company. Considering all the above factors and challenges which were beyond the control of Company
despite several attempts to turn it around, the management had decided not to incur continued operational
losses and decided to close its manufacturing operations at its unit located at SP - 825, Road No. 14, V K I Area,
Jaipur -302013.
The Company''s manufacturing unit has been closed with effect from 09th December, 2022. The Plant and

FY 2023-24 as against Profit of Rs 30.92 Lakhs in the previous FY 2022-23. The loss after tax for discontinued

Performance and Prospects for the current year
During the year 2014-15 company's operation particularly of cylinder
division was under pressure due to low selling prices of the end
product i.e. Cylinder. The NDP (Net Delivery Price) prices of the
Cylinder remain on lower side due to various factors including increase
in competition due to excess supply capacity. The locational
disadvantage coupled with the differential VAT policies of the
different State government on LPG is making it difficult for the
Company to match the prices as quoted by the other cylinder
manufactures located in eastern and western part of the Country.
Company is hopeful that in coming years the demand of cylinders from
oil marketing companies will improve with general improvement in the
industrial scenario in the country and hopeful that it will get better
price realization of its product from Oil Marketing Companies after
introduction of GST .
In case of Valve the company is operating at optimum level and will
continue to operate at higher level due to good demand. However the
company also feel the margin pressure in this product.
During the year 2014-15 company has not manufactured any Regulator due
to non-viability. However it proposes to manufacture in the future once
the demand for same improve and company get the better price
realization.
Operations :
Production and Sales :During the year the production of Cylinders,
Valves and regulators were 1,96,826Nos.,38,76,985Nos. and NIL as
compared to the production 4,05,350Nos.; 32,92,891Nos. and 62,100 Nos.
respectively during the previous year. Sales during the year was
recorded as Rs. 5,606.70 lacs as against Rs. 7,622.14 Lacs in the
previous year.Thelower sales realization is mainly due to lower sales
and production of Cylinder during the year. Company is continuously
taking necessary steps to control the cost so that the operational
performance could further be improved.

In order to preserve the funds for further diversification, the Board
of Directors of the Company has decided not to recommend payment of
