GLOBAL & INDIAN ECONOMY
Despite geopolitical instability, conflicts, inflationary concerns, and unprecedented monetary tightening, the global economy has remained resilient. According to the IMF, global GDP is estimated to grow by 3.2% in 2023, with headline inflation normalizing across major countries. The US and several major emerging market economies (EMEs) have experienced better-than-expected growth. However, recent flare-ups in the Middle East and marine route disturbances in the Red Sea area have impacted trade flow, which may affect growth prospects in the coming periods. Prior to these disruptions, supply chains and trade activities had improved post-Covid, leading to a softening trend in major commodity prices, including food, metal, energy, and fertilizer.
India, once again, has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy, with the RBI projecting a 7.6% GDP growth in FY24, driven by strong investment activity. On the supply side, gross value added (GVA) expanded by 6.9% in 2023-24, led by the manufacturing and services sectors. Despite a challenging agricultural environment, including a below-normal monsoon (94% of Long Period Average), the economy showed resilience. Monetary policy tightening during the year successfully arrested inflation, which declined to 4.85% in March 2024. Robust economic activity and improved tax compliance were reflected in strong direct (18%) and indirect tax (12%) collections, with record receipts of income tax, corporate tax, and GST. Additionally, India''s foreign exchange reserves reached an all-time high of $646 billion as of March 29, 2024, with the Indian Currency emerging as one of the most stable emerging market currencies.
India faced a challenging agricultural environment due to a below-normal monsoon (94% of Long Period Average), resulting in lower crop sowings and reservoir levels, impacting rabi plantings. This affected Company''s primary markets, leading to a decline in agri-inputs consumption. The 2nd Advance Estimates suggest a 1.3% decrease in food grain production (309 million tonnes) compared to the previous year, with significant drops in pulses and coarse cereal output. Despite this, the Real Gross Value Added growth in Agriculture & allied sectors remained steady, with a marginal 0.1% increase.
To support the farming community, the Government continued its focus on farmer welfare initiatives. Direct income support schemes like PM-Kisan and Rythu Bandhu helped improve cash availability and enabled agri-input purchases. The PM-Pranam scheme was approved to promote sustainable farming practices, incentivizing states to adopt balanced fertilizer use and alternate fertilizers. Additionally, the Namo Drone Didi scheme was launched to equip 15,000 women-led Self-Help Groups with agricultural drones for crop monitoring, fertilization, and sowing seeds, aiming to improve resource use efficiency and drive technology in agriculture. These initiatives demonstrate the Government''s commitment to supporting the agricultural sector and promoting sustainable growth.
The agricultural sector in the region faced significant challenges in the year 2023-24, marked by deficient rainfall during the monsoon season, leading to reduced agricultural production, decreased demand for fertilizers and adding high channel inventories in the primary market impacting overall business performance.
The second half of the year brought another blow, as a drastic correction in fertilizer subsidy rates further exacerbated the crisis. The deficient monsoon in the region had a devastating impact on the agricultural sector, leading to significant decline in crop production, subsequent reduction in fertilizer demand, low volume of fertilizer consumption, accumulation of fertilizer stocks, resulting in increased inventory levels and impact on cash flow and working capital. This highlights the vulnerability of the agricultural industry to climate-related factors and the need for sustainable solutions to mitigate these risks.
Despite the adverse situation, the Company has shown a resilient performance and has taken progressive steps to strengthen its operations during the year. During the year, plants operating at under capacity and achieved the production volume of 44,884 MT of Single Super Phosphate (SSP), NPK Mix & other fertilizers combined together. The primary sales volume of SSP was 40,684 MTs and that of NPK Mix fertilizers was 7,996 MTs. P.D.M. Granules (Potash Derived from Molasses) and the secondary fertiliser ''Ca:M:S-Virat'' Granules (Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur) saw a sales volume of 890 MT and 900 MT respectively.
By implementing an optimal buying strategy and diversifying sources, the sourcing team overcame prevailing pricing pressures in the market and ensured the on-time availability of critical raw materials.
Regular maintenance activities were being performed in a phased manner at both Plants ensuring that all infrastructure, including machinery, equipment, and facilities, were properly maintained and upgraded in a sequential and organized manner, to minimize downtime and optimize efficiency.
In the year 2023-24, the state of Maharashtra, particularly the Marathwada region, experienced deficient rainfall, leading to a challenging year for the fertilizer business in the region. This resulted in decreased sales, which extended the inventory holding period and increased inventory carrying costs. Consequently, the company fully utilized its financing facilities, adding pressure on its financial performance. Despite this, the outflow towards finance remained stable, with a marginal decrease from Rs. 424.30 Lacs in FY 2022-23 to Rs. 423.48 Lacs in FY 2023-24. Thanks to efficient cash management, the company maintained adequate liquidity, backed by reliable lines of credit, ensuring financial stability and security.
As on March 31, 2024, the company had rating of ''IND B /Stable /IND A4'' for Fund Based Working Capital limit and ''IND A4'' for Non-Fund based Working Capital Limit from India Rating & Research.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review the performance of the Company has
improved . The Company could achieve SSP production of 81,118 MT which
is highest in the history of the Company. This was possible with the
availability of BRP produced at its own plant. Hence the Company has
shown improved performance and achieved higher revenue. The same has
contributed in achieving the profit after tax of Rs. 317.74 lacs against
the previous year profit of Rs. 259.69 lacs.
Your Company's profitability during the year under review has
increased. The NBS policy announced by the Government had its impact on
the profitability. Sales realization from SSP fertilizers has improved
during the year. The Company could have achieved better results however
its NPK mix fertilizers sales were not as expected. Your Company is
confident of improving its existing level of performance which is
expected to be supported by favourable market conditions coupled with
the fact that SSP is the cheapest fertilizer providing Phosphate to the
farmers.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year the Company has strengthened its business by taking
controlling stakes in fertilizer manufacturing, oil extraction and seed
unit. This has resulted in increase in profit. The standalone profit of
the company has also increased. Your Company has achieved a
consolidated sales turnover of Rs. 29,756.60 lacs during the year under
review.
Your Companys profitability during the year under review has increased
mainly due to improved sales performance during the year with the

products with free price regime. The Company could have achieved better
results but there was severe shortage of Straight fertilizers
throughout the country and the Company could not achieve its targeted
production in NPK Mix fertilizers. Your Company is confident of
improving its existing level of performance which is expected to be
supported by favourable SSP Policy by the Government w.e.f. 1st May,
2010.
