Dear and esteemed fellow shareholders,
I am delighted to present to you our 39th Annual Report for the Financial Year 2022-23.
Our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modiji, said in his address to the nation on
this Independence Day that : "This is a New India full of self-confidence. Ye
Bharat na rukta hai, na thakta hai, na haanfta haiaur na hi haarta hai".
This India is unstoppable, this India is tireless, this India does not gasp for breath,
and this India does not give up."
The historic success of Chandrayaan 3 demonstrated this yet again. On behalf of all of
you, I send our heartiest congratulations to all scientists and engineers at ISRO. Having
consolidated its position as a global Space Power, what India can achieve in future is
indeed limitless
The year witnessed major macroeconomic factors that shaped the global
economyhigher interest rates coupled with tightening liquidity, high commodity
prices following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, high energy and food prices in Europe, and
global supply- chain disruptions, amongst others.
Against this backdrop, India comes out as a bright spot in the global economy. India is
marching ahead at a fast pace to take its place as one of the leading economies in the
world. The nation is undergoing a social and economic transformation that is unmatched in
history. . India's transformation as a prosperous, strong and self-confident nation stands
out as a beacon of hope for the world. This is reflected in India's G20 theme One
Earth, One Family, One Future'. India's presidency of G20 has made today's divided
international community take note of the inspiring words of the Upanishads:
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' or the Entire World is Our Family '. It
recently became the 5th largest economy in the world with sights now set on achieving the
US$5 trillion GDP mark.
The fiscal year 2022-23 was especially a challenging year for us. As majority of our
revenue comes from countries other than India, our business was affected by the global
slowdown and adverse market conditions caused by global supply chain inefficiencies and
high commodity prices. Our Standalone Revenue from Operations is reduced by 9.36% and
Profit after Tax is reduced by 55.52% on year on year basis. Significantly, we performed
better than our peer group in the Industry in FIBC's where we managed to produce and sell
almost the same quantity against a 15-20% degrowth registered by other Indian Companies.
The export sales continue to contribute more than 70% of total sales from manufacturing
segment and Company's customer base is spread in all the comments except \nlareliea.
