Dear Shareholders,
I trust you all are healthy, safe, and keeping well. It gives me immense pleasure to
present our annual report and highlights of our performance, progress, challenges we have
faced and path towards growing sustainably this year at Gensol Engineering. This report
also represents a significant turning point in our ongoing efforts to give stakeholders
thorough and honest information about the Company.
The world around us is rapidly changing. Economic uncertainty, volatile geopolitical
challenges, rising crude oil and commodity prices and a critical call to action for
climate change and preserving the planet is only the tip of the iceberg of our dynamic
present. As we move towards a future that relies heavily in the advancement of technology
and renewable energy to grow and sustain, we at Gensol are striving to energise this
change by harnessing capabilities to provide holistic renewable energy solutions to the
world. Our goal is to generate long-term value for the shareholders, and we are gradually
heading in that direction by implementing several strategic initiatives.
Economic Overview and the EV Growth Story
The pandemic has presented the world with a challenging landscape. Like several other
industries, the automotive industry was also deeply affected by the pandemic outbreak and
subsequent lockdowns. This also created a significant impact in the EV industry, stalling
and deferring projects. That said, India is known as one of the leading EV player globally
in terms of sales and given the country's post pandemic economic growth along with
conducive policy framework for EV adoption and the Government's ambition to achieve net
zero carbon emission by 2070 has led to the EV industry gather momentum.
