Amidst one of the most challenging periods for the building materials sector, I’m delighted to announce that we have achieved our highest-ever annual revenue and profits. Notably, our steel volume experienced a 27% growth, while the non-steel vertical saw a 30% growth, driven by market share gains across all subsegments. Our commitment to profitable growth has resulted in even stronger profit growth compared to our revenue, with an enhanced mix towards value-added steel and non-steel offerings. Fotia, in particular, has demonstrated exceptional progress with a 50% growth. Our efforts to diversify beyond South India have yielded fruitful results, with Western India contributing 11% to our revenue during the fiscal year. In line with our strategic objectives, we are in the process of demerging our building materials marketplace, a move aimed at streamlining our business structure and facilitate a focused capital allocation strategy under our new generation management. With a resilient foundation and strategic initiatives in place, we are poised for sustained growth in the coming years." Result PDF
