The equity market in India witnessed a period of high
volatility in the second half of the year. There was a
dramatic fall in valuation triggered by developments
across the globe. Towards the start of the second half
the US Treasury announced changes to their interest
rate policy which led to largescale selling by Foreign
Portfolio Investors. This was followed by an escalation
of hostilities in middle east that increased the fears of a
widespread war. In addition to these global factors, fears
of a deceleration in domestic growth coupled with high
valuations in domestic markets led to a broad-based fall
in the Indian equity markets resulting in Nifty 50 falling by
nearly 9% during this period. For the full year FY 2024¬
25 Nifty 50 returns were only around 5% vis-a-vis around
28% for FY 2023-24.
Total Income:
On a standalone basis, the total income for FY 2024-25
was Rs. 4,619.45 lakhs, which was marginally lower than
Rs. 4,747.96 lakhs in the previous year. While the dividend
income increased, lower gain on fair value changes of
mutual funds, and other investments of Rs. 784.64 lakhs
as compared to Rs. 2,288.84 lakhs in the previous year
resulted in decline in total income.
On a consolidated basis, the total income for FY 2024-25
was Rs. 11,902.94 lakhs as compared to Rs. 10,223.92
lakhs in the previous year, mainly due to higher dividend
income of Rs. 9,900.45 lakhs for the current year as
compared to Rs. 5,512.20 lakhs in the previous year.
However, the gain on fair value changes of mutual funds
and other investments of Rs. 1,685.21 lakhs for the
current year was lower than Rs. 4,455.22 lakhs in the
previous year.
Expenses:
On a standalone basis, the total expenses for FY 2024- 25
at Rs. 279.00 lakhs were marginally higher as compared
to Rs. 253.34 lakhs for the previous year. The increase
was mainly due to increase in employee costs and other
operating costs which were largely along expected lines.
On consolidated basis, the total expenses for FY 2024-25
were Rs. 473.61 lakhs as compared to Rs. 387.30 lakhs
for the previous year mainly due to increase in employee
benefit expenses costs and other operating costs.
Profit After Tax:
Standalone Profit after Tax for FY 2024-25 was Rs.
3070.13 lakhs as compared to Rs. 3,512.11 lakhs during
the previous year, mainly due to lower income.
Consolidated Profit after Tax for FY 2024-25 was Rs.
6859.57 lakhs as compared to Rs. 7,573.02 lakhs during
the previous year, mainly due to lower income.
Amounts proposed to be carried to reserves:
An amount of Rs. 614.03 lakhs has been transferred to
Special Reserve in standalone financial statements as
per the statutory requirements. The Company has not
transferred any amount to General Reserves during the
year.
With a view to conserve resources in the current volatile
environment and to maintain sufficient funds for investment
and working capital requirements, your directors consider
it prudent not to recommend any dividend for the year
under review.
Global economy grew by 3.3% in calendar year
2024, lower than 3.5% for calendar year 2023. Global
growth is expected to slow down further to 2.8% in
2025 led by various factors like continuing geopolitical
conflicts, US trade tariffs and higher interest rates.
India on the other hand has benefitted from stable
macroeconomic environment and declining inflation,
with the real GDP expanding by 6.5% in FY 2024¬
25. The RBI has projected inflation of 4.2% and GDP
growth of 6.5% for FY 2025-26 considering strong
infrastructure push by the Government, expected
reduction in interest rates, expectation of a good
monsoon, stable crude prices, pick up in consumption,
favourable balance of payment and buoyancy in tax
collections.
The Company is a Non-Banking Financial Company
(''NBFC'') registered with the Reserve Bank of India
as a Non-Deposit Accepting NBFI and derives most
of its revenue from investments. Also, the value of the
stocks, shares and bonds depends on the prevailing
capital markets scenario. The future success of
the Company continues to depend on its ability
to anticipate the volatility of the financial markets,
minimizing risks and increasing returns through
prudent investment decisions.
The investments of the Company are typically
long-term in nature and predominantly in the equity
markets. The Company also invests in companies
where it is a part of the promoter group from a long
term perspective. All investments decisions are
reviewed by the Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors, respectively, on a periodic basis.
b. Risks, Threats and Concerns:
Risk management comprises of identification,
assessment and prioritization of risks followed by
coordinated and economical application of resources
to minimize, monitor and control the probability and/
or impact of loss events or to maximize the value
realization of opportunities in any other uncertain
events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.

control system that commensurate with its size and
nature of business to ensure operational efficiency,
accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and
compliance of various laws and regulations. The
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews

effectiveness of internal controls periodically.
Employee relations continued to remain cordial during
the year under review. As on March 31, 2025, there
were 6 (Six) employees including Key Managerial
Personnel (''KMP'') of the Company.
e. Significant Changes in Key Financial Ratios
(i.e., change of 25% or more as compared to
immediately previous financial year) and Change
in Return on Net Worth as compared to the
immediately previous financial year, along with a
detailed explanation thereof:
Return on Net Worth for FY 2024-25: 0.72%
Return on Net Worth for FY 2023-24: 0.90%
Change in return on Net Worth as compared to
immediately preceding financial year: -20.46%
As compared to the previous year, the Company''s
Net Profit and hence the Return on Net Worth has
decreased mainly due to lower gain on fair value
changes of mutual funds and other investments.
Except for this, there is no significant change (i.e.
change of more than 25%) in any other key financial
ratios during the current financial year as compared
to immediately preceding financial year.

The increase in profit is on account of dividend, interest income, profit on sale of long term investments and adjustment of the provision for tax of the earlier years.

Amounts proposed to be carried to reserves:

With a view to conserve resources and based on the cash balance position of the Company, your Directors consider it prudent not to recommend any dividend for the year under review.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
a. Industry Structure & Developments, Opportunities and Future Outlook:
The global economy experienced a cyclical recovery in 2017-18, showing signs of stronger investment and manufacturing activity. However, global trade faced several challenges with geopolitical issues occupying the centre stage.
India emerged amongst the fastest growing major economies in the world with GDP growth at about 6.7% in 2017-18 and is expected to grow above 7.3% in 2018-19.
Major reforms were undertaken over the past year including the transformational Goods and Services Tax (GST) that was launched on July 1, 2017. The long-festering Twin Balance Sheet problem was decisively addressed by the Government by formulating the new Indian Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and implementing a major recapitalization package to strengthen the public sector banks. The IBC has provided a resolution framework that will help corporates clean up their balance sheets and reduce their debts. However, addressing the Non Performing
Assets (NPA) issue of the banks remains a task for the Government and the RBI.
The Company, being a Non-Banking Financial Company (''NBFC'') registered with RBI as a Non-Deposit Accepting NBFI, derives major revenue from its investments. Sectoral policy changes by the Government, therefore, have direct impact on the profitability of the Company, as the value of the stocks, shares and bonds depends on the prevailing capital markets scenario. The future success of the Company continues to depend on its ability to anticipate the volatility of the Stock Markets, minimising risks and increasing returns through prudent investment decisions.
The investments of the Company are typically long term in nature and predominantly in the equity markets. All investments decisions are reviewed by the Board of Directors on a periodic basis.
b. Risks, Threats and Concerns:
Risk management can be construed as the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by co-ordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realisation of opportunities.
The Risk Management Committee (''RMC'') of the Board of Directors manages and monitors the Company''s risks, as detailed herein below under the heading "Risk Management Process".
c. Internal control systems and their adequacy:
The Company has an adequate internal audit and control system commensurate with its size and nature of business to ensure operational efficiency, accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and compliance of various laws and regulations. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the Internal Audit Report and the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls periodically.
d. Human Resources:
Employee relations continued to remain cordial during the year under review. As on March 31, 2018, there were eight (8) employees including Key Managerial Personnel (''KMP'') of the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
a. Industry Structure & Developments, Opportunities and Future Outlook:
The world economy stumbled in 2015, amid weak aggregate demand, falling commodity prices and increasing financial market volatility in major economies. These developments have tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, raised credit risks, and stymied balance sheet repair. The moderate pace of global growth, in an environment of weak investment growth, has failed to create a sufficient number of jobs to close the gap in the employment rate (employment-to-population ratio) that opened up during the global financial crisis. The global recovery has been at an ever-slowing and increasingly fragile pace.
During the global stock market rout witnessed in the mid 2015, India had also witnessed a sharp fall in stock markets and the rupee weakened. It was repeated again in January 2016. The risk of further global slowdown and turbulence continues.
India achieved moderate growth amidst unfavourable global conditions and two consecutive years of shortfall in monsoon by 13%.
Several initiatives of the Government of India and key policy reforms with emphasis on ease of doing business, coal mining auctions, infrastructure project approvals, increase of FDI inflows in India, deregulation of prices of Natural Gas, Kerosene, Diesel, Fertilizers, etc. Entry of private sector entities in sectors like defense manufacturing, One Nation-One Market - the turning point for agriculture across India introduced by the government apart sustained spending on infrastructural reforms will be key factors to look out for that give a boost to the Indian Economy.
As a move to improve liquidity in the market, RBI has under its Liquidity Adjustment facility cut the Repo rate from 7.25% to 6.50% and enhanced the Reverse Repo rate from 5.75% to 6.00%. Driven by these initiatives, FY 2016-17 is expected to witness better growth around as compared with the previous year. Markets are expected to reform on expectation of good monsoon and better interest rates.
The Company, being a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) registered with RBI, derives major revenue from its investments. Sectoral policy changes by the Government, therefore, have direct impact on the profitability of the Company, as the value of the stocks, shares and bonds depends on the prevailing capital markets scenario. The future success of the Company would therefore depend on its ability to anticipate the volatility of the Stock Markets, minimizing risks and increasing returns through prudent investment decisions.
The investments of the Company are typically long term in nature and predominantly in the equities market. All investments decisions are reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
b. Risks, Threats and Concerns:
Risk management can be construed as the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by co-ordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.
The Risk Management Committee (RMC) of the Board of Directors manages and monitors the Company''s risks, as detailed herein below under the heading âRisk Management Processâ.
c. Internal control systems and their adequacy:
The Company has an adequate internal audit and control system commensurate with its size and nature of business to ensure operational efficiency, accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and compliance of various laws and regulations. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the Internal Audit Report and the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls periodically.
d. Human Resources:
Employee relations continued to remain cordial during the year under review. As on March 31, 2016, there were six (6) employees including Key Managerial Personnel of the Company.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK:
India has traversed a long way since the economic reforms started in
the early 1990''s. The reforms of the early 1990''s were focused on three
pillars - Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation. The
financial sector has also undergone significant changes during the
period to not only support the rapid growth, but also to do so without
disruptive episodes. The financial market performance is considered as
a barometer of the economy.
The Indian economy went through challenging times since the crisis in
the Euro area in FY 2011-12 with a cyclical down turn with growth
slowdown, elevated current account deficit, persistent inflation and
the need to restore fiscal policy to a sustainable path. Current
account deficit continued to remain elevated in FY2013-14 and in tandem
with market misperception of an imminence of the rollback of
quantitative easing in the US assumed a serious dimension with the
sharp depreciation of the rupee. A series of measures put up by the
Government have significantly let up in the challenges on the trade and
balances of payment front in FY 2013-14.
Despite all out efforts of the Government to boost the economy through
appropriate calibration of the fiscal policy, India''s real GDP growth
moderated significantly to 4.9% in FY 2013-14. The slow down reflects
continued sluggish investment activity in the economy as well as slow
down in consumption demand. While slower growth is a major worry, there
are other headwinds in the economy as well.
However, the macro cycle, it is believed is turning for the better and
certain reforms in the sector introduced by the Government and Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) have changed sentiments. Various steps are being
proposed for augmenting reforms in the capital and financial markets,
including simplified process of Initial Public Offer, allowing
Qualified Foreign Investors to access the Indian Bond Market, etc.
The Company, being a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) registered
with RBI, is deriving major revenue from its investments. Sectoral
policy changes by the Government, therefore, have direct impact on the
profitability of the Company as the value of the stocks, shares and
bonds depends on the prevailing capital market scenario. The future
success of the Company would depend on its ability to anticipate the
volatility of the Stock Markets and minimizing risks through prudent
investing decisions.
The investments of the Company are typically long term in nature and
predominantly in the equities market. All investments decisions are
reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. As at March
31, 2014, the market value of the Company''s quoted investment portfolio
stood at Rs. 424.93 crores.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
Revenue:
Total revenue for FY 2013-14 at Rs. 6.20 crores fell by over 51.61% over
the previous year revenue of Rs. 12.82 crores. The decrease in revenue is
due to lower dividend declared by the investee companies as compared to
dividend declared for FY 2011-12.
Expenses:
Total expenses for FY 2013-14 at Rs. 0.77 crores fell by over 70.92% over
the previous year expenses of Rs. 2.65 crores.
Profit After Tax:
The Profit after Tax (PAT) stood at Rs. 5.00 crores for FY 2013-14 over
PAT of Rs. 8.17 crores for last fiscal. The said profit is after the
extraordinary/exceptional items of Rs. 0.20 crores.
RISKS, THREATS AND CONCERNS:
The objective of risk management process is to insulate the Company
from risks associated with the business, while simultaneously creating
an environment conducive for its growth. It entails a comprehensive
estimation, control and review of risks to protect organisational
value. The Risk Management Committee (RMC) of the Board of Directors
has a well defined organisational structure and well documented
policies to ensure efficiency of operations and compliance with
internal and regulatory requirements. Risk mitigation policies are
reviewed periodically by the RMC.
The identification of risks is the first step in the risk management
process. The purpose of identification of risks is to describe events
that may have an adverse impact on the achievement of the business
objectives. In order to identify risks, a range of potential events is
considered while taking into account past events and trends, as well as
future exposures.
BUSINESS RISKS:
The Company''s revenue is predominantly derived from dividends that may
be receivable on investments held by it. Any adverse impact on the
industries in which the Company has made investments will, therefore,
have a bearing on the performance of the Company. Towards this, the
Company has a diversified investment portfolio spread across different
industries to mitigate the impact.
MARKET RISKS:
The Company''s performance is also dependant on the performance of the
economy and financial markets. The health of the economy and the
financial markets in turn depends on the domestic economic growth,
state of the global economy and business and consumer confidence, among
other factors. Any event disturbing the dynamic balance of these
diverse factors would directly or indirectly affect the performance of
the Company. Further, any slowdown in the growth of Indian economy or
any volatility in global financial market could also adversely affect
the business. Moreover, the Company is also prone to risks pertaining
to change in Government regulations, tax regimes, other statutes and
capital market fluctuations in respect of investments held by the
Company. Towards mitigation of this risk, the Company has diversified
its investments in various sectors and across multiple product lines
and businesses. The Company has also been on the look out for newer
avenues of investments and has adopted a policy of investing only in
companies which have a proven track record and stability.
COMPLIANCE RISKS:
The nature of the Company''s business involves an ongoing compliance
with various regulators wherein the compliance requirements are
constantly evolving. Any violation or transgression of the various
compliances would not only affect the business of the Company but also
affect the reputation of the Company.
The Company follows a robust system of compliance and maximum care is
taken by the management to ensure no violation or transgression of the
various compliances with the regulatory authorities occur. All reports
are placed by the management before the meetings of the Board of
Directors and the Audit Committee.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY:
The Company has an adequate internal audit and control system
commensurate with its size and nature of business to ensure operational
efficiency, accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and
compliance of various laws and regulations. The Audit Committee
appointed by the Board reviews the Internal Audit Report and the
adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls periodically.

projections, estimates and expectations may constitute "forward looking
statements'' within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations.

INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Economic liberalization, including industrial de-regulation,
privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on
foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served
to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7%
per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional
village farming, modern agriculture, a wide range of modern industries,
and a multitude of services. However, the financial year 2011-12 was
particularly challenging on account of the slowdown in industrial
activity, increased inflation, weakening rupee and global recessionary
trends. India's long term challenges include widespread poverty,
inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural
employment opportunities, insufficient access to quality basic and
higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.
Though economy is predicted to grow at 7.6% in FY 2013 and 8.6% in FY
2014, the mood prevalent in the country is subdued.
The Company being a Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC) registered
with the Reserve Bank of India and deriving its major revenue from its
investments, sectoral policy changes by the government and performance
of industry sectors where the Company has invested have an impact on
the profitability of the Company. The basic business of the Company is
investing in stocks, shares and bonds. The value of the stocks, shares
and bonds in addition to be above also depend on the prevailing capital
market scenario. The future success of the Company would depend on its
ability to anticipate the volatility of the Stock Markets and
minimizing risks through prudent investing decisions. THREATS AND
CONCERNS
The Company's revenue is majorly derived from dividends receivable on
investments held by it. Any adverse impact on the industries in which
the Company has made investment will have a bearing on the performance
of the Company. The Company's performance is also dependant on the
performance of the economy and financial markets. The health of the
economy and financial markets in turn depends on the domestic economic
growth, state of the global economy and business and consumer
confidence, among other factors. Any event disturbing the dynamic
balance of these diverse factors would directly or indirectly affect
the performance of the Company. Further, any slowdown in the growth of
Indian economy or any volatility in global financial market, could also
adversely affect the business. Moreover, the Company is also prone to
risks pertaining to change in government regulations, tax regimes,
other statutes and capital market fluctuations in respect of
investments held by the Company.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY
The Company has adequate internal audit and control system commensurate
with its size and nature of business to ensure operational efficiency,
accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and compliance of
various laws and regulations. The Audit Committee appointed by the
Board reviews the Internal Audit Report and the adequacy and
effectiveness of internal controls periodically.
