Dear Shareholders,
With sincere appreciation and renewed confidence, I present to you the

of global uncertainties and market volatilities, your Company has demonstrated resilience,
strategic agility and a steadfast commitment to operational excellence. On a standalone
basis, revenue from operations increased to 3,623 crore, registering a growth of 22.42%
over the previous year's 2,959 crore. On a consolidated basis, revenue from operations
rose to 3,677 crore compared to 2,983 crore in FY 2023 24, reflectinga growth of 23.24%,
supported by a balanced product portfolio, market diversification and strong partnerships
with OEM customers.
The Company delivered a robust financial performance, with EBITDA reaching 151 crore,
marking an increase of 24.78% over the previous year. Profit before tax stood at 98 crore,
higher by 20.50% compared to 81 crore in FY 2023 24, while profit after tax grew to 72
crore, registering a 19.61% increase over the 60 crore achieved in the previous year.
These results reflect our ongoing commitment to operational efficiency, cost management
and value-driven growth. Operationally, we achieved a production growth of 9.23% and a
sales volume growth of 8.65% in metric tonnes over the previous financial year, validating
healthy demand conditions and stable capacity utilization. A landmark achievement in the
first quarter of FY 2025-26 was the commissioning of the manufacturing facility at
Bhiwadi,
Rajasthan. Designed with a capacity of 24,000 MTPA, this facility is a crucial element
of our strategic expansion plan. It will significantly to serve the growing North India
and export markets while providing superior energy efficiency, and logistical benefits.
With expansion, there is significant in installed capacity for copper tubes, ensuring
scale readiness for emerging opportunities.
The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of 2.50 per equity share (50% on a
face value of 5 per share) for FY 2024-25, reflecting our consistent commitment to reward
shareholders while preserving resources for sustainable future growth.
Your Company has also continued to strengthen its portfolio of higher margin, value
added products, including MCB coils, copper braids and bunched wires, fine fine enameled
wires, litz andultra wires and specialized wires and strips, which are increasingly used
in critical applications such as switchgears, electric vehicles, charger systems,
renewable energy, electronics and small micro motors. Our copper tube business, through
Global Copper Private
Limitederstwhile material subsidiary of the Company (now merged into the Company
with the appointed date being April 1, 2024) has scaled its capacity to over 7,200 MTPA
and with new capacity installations underway in
Bhiwadi and Vadodara, the Company is positioned to serve approximately
30% of India's copper tube demand. Additionally, Epavo Electricals Pvt. Ltd., our joint
venture, has continued to build momentum in BLDC and PMSM motor technologies for ceiling
fans,
HVAC applications and the electric mobility ecosystem, aligning with the
Government of India's PLI scheme and the broader Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision.
Looking at the broader macroeconomicenhance our ability context, India continues to
stand out as one of the fastest-growing major economies globally, with the International
Monetary Fund forecasting GDP growth of 6.5% in 2025 supported by structural reforms,
infrastructure investments and resilient domestic demand. Initiatives such as the
Production Linked Incentive
(PLI) scheme, National Infrastructure Pipeline and the Green Energy Mission are further
strengthening India's medium-term growth trajectory and supporting industrial sectors
including electrical equipment and copper-based products. At the same time, India's
youthful population, rising middle-class consumption and rapid digital adoption provide
significant long-term opportunities for industrial transformation and the electrical
sector. Globally, the economic environment remains mixed. While advanced economies are
experiencing a moderation in growth due to monetary tightening and geopolitical tensions,
emerging economies in Asia, including India, Indonesia and Vietnam are driving global
momentum. The World
Bank projects global GDP growth at
2.7% in 2025, with a cautious recovery in manufacturing and trade. Global megatrends
such as decarbonization, electric mobility, digital infrastructure and renewable energy
are expected to support sustained copper demand, even as the world navigates supply-chain
realignments and inflationary pressures. For Ram Ratna Wires Limited, these trends present
opportunities to deepen our role in the transition to a more sustainable, electrified
global economy. Beyond financial growth, we remain fully committed to our ESG and CSR
responsibilities. Through our partnership with HEMA Foundation, we have positively
impacted over 400,000 students across more than 6,000 schools with value-based education
initiatives aligned with India's National
Education Policy 2020.
At our manufacturing facilities, we continue to invest in advanced energy-saving
equipment, waste reduction practices and enhanced safety systems, thereby strengthening
our commitment to responsible growth and good governance.
As we move into FY 2025 26, our strategy will focus on fully operationalizing
the Bhiwadi plant, expanding our high-value product segments, reinforcing customer
partnerships, deepening digital and automation capabilities and further embedding ESG
principles across our ecosystem. I am confident these strategic imperatives will ensure
continued resilience, growth and stakeholder value creation. On behalf of the Board of
Directors, I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to our employees, customers, business
partners, suppliers and above all, our valued shareholders, for your trust, confidence and
unwavering support. Together, we will continue to power
India's growth story and cement Company's standing as a respected global copper
solutions leader.
