During the financial year, the Company navigated a challenging environment marked by price volatility and
policy constraints, particularly affecting wheat procurement and receivables. Despite these headwinds, the
Company reported stable factory operations, expanded its production capacity, and grew its customer
base, including new institutional clients and retail market penetration.
Strategic shiftsâsuch as the emphasis on consumer-pack sales, hiring in key markets, and risk
management through forward contractsâhelped mitigate adverse impacts, resulting in a significant
increase in sales of Maida and bakery specialty products. The Company also progressed on its

management remains optimistic. Ongoing efforts, including a potential joint venture for the Whitefield
