DIRECTORSâ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

To,

The Shareholders,

It gives us immense pleasure to share with you an update on the performance of your Company for FY 2017-18 and present 30th Annual Report of the Company. It was a metamorphic year in the history of India with the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), one of the biggest tax reform since Independence and awaited since the longest of times. GST has created a single national market and will benefit both consumers as well as the industry and we have welcomed this move by the honorable Government of India. We are extremely happy to share that your Company has worked very closely with its partners along its entire supply chain to transition its operations to the new tax regime efficiently.

The implementation of GST has streamlined the process of taxation in our country with the one nation one tax motto, we have had initial disrupted demand in our industry purely because of destocking of traders in the month of June and the second quarter. Though the sales in the subsequent quarters remained stable, it will take some time for the benefits of GST to get realized.

In this challenging business environment, our strong brand connect, the launch of new products, service methods and continuous expansion of our distribution network enabled us to deliver a strong performance.

The Board of Directors would like to thank the entire team at Rexnord Electronics and Controls Ltd. for their great work and dedication throughout the year. The Board of Directors would also like to express its gratitude to you and all the stakeholders for the trust and faith that you have in us.
