Chairman
Dear Stakeholders,
I take this opportunity to Share with you the company's performance for the financial
year ended March 31, 2023, with this Annual Report. The year under review posed several
challenges as we saw al volatility intertwined with economic uncertainty geopolitic even
as the world was coming out of the pandemic-imposed restrictions. The war in Europe was a
key driver of the uncertainty which was significantly felt during the first half of the
year even as turbulence continues Rise in the price of Gas, Fuel and Food due to
disruption in the global trade on account of Russia-Ukraine translating into rising
inflation had also somewhere affected Indian Pharma Industries, yes, we have seen global
economic recovery in the later part of the year.
Biggest challenge which is still disturbing our credibility and of Section 7
application before Hon'ble NCLT morale is filing by Bank of Baroda for alleged default in
External Commercial
Borrowings which is completely baseless and the credibility of the company is hampered
by such act of Bank, whereby we are fully prepared to clear entire settled dues in one go
however, the main agenda of Bank behind such act is still unknown.
We have the potential and passion to achieve way higher than what we are already
delivering, and upon settlement of ongoing disruption by bank in NCLT, we will set the new
records in the history of Lasa since the opportunities are waiting at our doorstep.
