The success of DCX is not mapped by its performance alone. In a
difficult business environment, which FY 22 definitely was, it is also a measure of a
company?s ability to adapt to the transforming global eco-system. It is defined by
the speed and agility with which an organisation aligns itself to the new systems and
processes. By this yardstick, FY 22 will go down in the history of your Company as quite a
remarkable one. Given the backdrop of geopolitical scenario, rising inflation, hardening
of interest rates in both the domestic and international markets, and the continuing
menace of Coronavirus variants, your Company?s performance has been astounding.

Dawn of a New Growth Cycle
As the global economy is gradually recovering from the COVID-19
recession, we are optimistic that this signals the dawn of a new growth cycle for the
economy, aerospace and defence industry and DCX.
However, we are mindful of the ongoing macro volatilities, such as the
possibility of further waves of infections from COVID-19 variants, tightening of monetary
policies in several economies, rising interest and inflation rates, and war between Russia
and Ukraine, that continue to create uncertainties. Barring any unforeseen circumstances,
your company is well poised to capitalise on the growth cycle to elevate our business
further and also add new business verticals through its wholly owned subsidiary in the
area of Electronic manufacturing services (EMS).
Your Company is embarking upon its IPO plans this fiscal. The IPO in
the next few months will ensure additional Rs. 600 crores being infused into the system to
meet Capex and other vertical integration besides catering to additional working capital
needs of your company and prepaying some loans.
Our strong customer centricity, we will leverage on our diversified
business model, track record of operational excellence and good financial discipline to
bring about long-term value to our stakeholders.
Words of appreciation
I would like to thank the management team, staff, bankers, suppliers
and dedicated and loyal customers for their support and hard work that has enabled us to
come this far. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my fellow directors for their
contributions to the Company and counsel. Last but not least, I would like to show
appreciation to our shareholders for their constant support.
In this dawn of a new growth cycle, I believe that DCX is
well-positioned to seize new opportunities as we arise by leveraging on our strengths and
comprehensive business model with business visibility to provide customers timely and
cost-effective solutions. We will continue to focus on our strength through execution, new
initiatives and innovative strategy and strive towards a more sustainable business for our
customers.
