I would like to express my gratitude to every shareholder who has been with us in our
journey together. Your company has successfully completed ONE YEAR of listing on the SME

you the performance of your company in the financial year 2020-21.
During the financial year 2020-21, the Company evolved to be sustainability stronger
despite being the world being hit by a global pandemic. In the financial year 2020-21, the
Company reported revenues of Rs 2466.12 Lakhs, EBITDA stood at
Rs 314.49 Lakhs, and Net profit after tax was reported at Rs 126.44 Lakhs The resilient
financial performance even in a subdued economic environment is a reflection of the trust
and faith we enjoy from our customers and vendors; and our business model.
In the current scenario, logistics sector in India plays a crucial role in terms of
support to the national economy. Strong growth in the sector is supported by government
reforms, transportation sector development plans, growing retail sales and ecommerce. With
implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST), India has now become one big single market
which was otherwise divided by different state level regulations. This has helped
companies reduce logistics cost through redesigning of supply chain, increase scale of
operations, achieve greater economies of scale.
Indian government has also presented a draft of the National Logistics Policy with the
objective of creating a national logistics e-marketplace for exporters and importers,
thereby reducing the cost of logistics and increasing employment opportunities in the
sector. A Multimodal Logistics Park Policy is also being formulated to promote movement of
goods for domestic as well as global trade.
Logistics has now become an integral part of the value chain operations. With digital
innovations and better offerings, the sector's growth can be further augmented by
initiatives from the government such as rationalization of taxes for warehousing, push for
digitization and focus on creating a skilled workforce for logistics and supply chain.
Furthermore, the reduction in corporate taxes will also support the businesses during the
overall economic slowdown.
We, at DJML, continue to cater to the evolving Logistics needs through our customer
oriented and agile business model that offers integrated, value-added services and
leverage technology for efficiency gains.
The future is more challenging than ever before. Your Company has put in place measures

across the world. It is also creating new opportunities for digitally enable customer
centric organizations. We have always focused on our customers and we are reafirming our
commitment to transformation through innovation and entrepreneurship as we embrace change.
In spite of the challenges, the prospects for the logistics sector seem bright. According
to a recently published report, Post COVID-19, the global logistics market size is
projected to grow from USD 2,734 billion in 2020 to USD 3,215 billion by 2021, at a Y-0-Y
of 17.6%.
In India too, developments such as the proposed roll-out of the National Logistics
Policy (NLP), a single window a-logistics market leading to the integrated development of
Indian logistics will help reduce logistics cost for end users and offer exponential
opportunities for growth to organized logistics players. We continue to expand our
warehousing footprint. With the rising demand for e-commerce, we see potential in the
logistics parks business and would continue to monetize our assets. In the current crisis
times, logistics can emerge as the backbone of the economy thus strengthening other
sectors of the economy. The importance of logistics sector in the economic development of
India has never been more compelling. A strong logistics sector can go a long way in
economic revival and boosting India's quest for being a manufacturing leader. In FY 2022,
we expect to see substantial changes and progress across key growth drivers of the
logistics in India. We believe that technology adoption is likely to accelerate and create
new opportunities in the transportation, warehousing and Logistics segments. Looking at
the big picture, logistics industry has come a long way and is expected to keep a
significant upturn in the performance. DJML is confident about its growth strategy,
