A review ofthe operations ofthe subsidiaries is as follows:

INDIAN SUBSIDIARY

No businesses were undertaken in this subsidiary during the fiscal under Report. The total revenue of the Company during fiscal 2024 is Rs 6.26 lakhs being interest on deposits with bank. After accounting for other fixed costs, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation & amortization including other income and exceptional item amounts to a loss of Rs 5.59 lakhs. The loss after tax is Rs 5.59 lakhs as against profit of Rs 55.62 lakhs in the previous year ended March 31, 2023.

Net worth of the Company as at March 31, 2024 continues to be positive.

US SUBSIDIARY

The operations of this Company during the fiscal 2024 resulted in a total revenue of Rs 3,823.25 Lakhs as compared to Rs 4,834.63 Lakhs in Fiscal 2023. The profit after tax for the year is Rs 168.28 lakhs in fiscal 2024 as compared to Rs 388.08 lakhs in fiscal 2023. The total comprehensive income (after accounting for foreign exchange difference on translation of foreign operations) for the fiscal 2024 is Rs 135.74 lakhs as compared Rs 345.48 lakhs in fiscal 2023. During fiscal 2024 the subsidiary has repaid $ 5.25 lakhs which was provided as loan by TDPS.

The market for TDPS Generators in North America, Central America, and South America continues to improve. The current outlook for critical markets such as Oil & Gas, onshore pipelines, fracking, and offshore drilling/ production are still not what they once were. However, with the current world situation and the immense pressure being applied due to high energy costs, more opportunities will be available for us. Power support for new data centers is driving large demand for our gas turbine driven generator products.

Many of the concerns related to covid-19 have diminished and we are observing previously paused projects resuming and progressing. However, the renewables and steam markets remain very soft with few new hydro projects in North America and limited opportunities in geothermal energy. Solar and wind projects are not accessible to us. The majority of hydro activity involves the rehabilitation of existing facilities and equipment, although we see some potential opportunities in this area.

Opportunities in the steam sector continue to be active, particularly in Latin and South America for applications in sugar/ethanol, pulp, biomass, and waste heat markets. The upcoming US presidential election in November could have a significant impact on our industry, depending on the outcome and policies of the prevailing political party.

The steam and gas markets present significant growth opportunities. In the ongoing year, growing Co gen projects, hydrogen plants, projects related to sugar, ethanol, paper, water, and Oil sand & replacement machines present good opportunities in the Steam generator market. Efforts are underway to maximize these opportunities with captive OEMs and packagers. In the gas market, we aim to increase our participation in land-based projects with new machines, approved products for mobile applications with existing customers, and certain new projects, including replacements.

During the year, new customers were added & special project machines were also supplied by the company. Efforts are also being made to strengthen the presence of our products in the market with existing customers. The company is experiencing increased activity levels, with a higher volume of offers being sent out and we anticipate that order intake will grow in the ongoing year.

TDPS generators have gained full acceptance among major OEMs and packagers in North America, Central America, and South America. All our current partners in these regions are highly satisfied with TDPS's pricing, lead times, and overall support."

JAPAN SUBSIDIARY

All activities of the Japan business continues to be conducted through the Company's Branch office at Japan. As a result, no business activities were conducted in TDPS Japan since March 2022. Subsequently, the subsidiary was voluntarily liquidated and ceased to be in existence with effect from June 26, 2023 in terms of the closed registration certificate from the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau. Consequently, a sum of JPY 9,92,585 (net of foreign bank charges of JPY 6,500) equivalent to Rs 5.67 lakhs, representing equity investment in TDPS Japan, was repatriated to the holding Company.

GERMAN SUBSIDIARY

The total revenue of the Company during fiscal 2024 is Rs 11,664.29 lakhs as compared to Rs 9,252.73 lakhs in fiscal 2023. Profit before tax is Rs 308.44 lakhs in fiscal 2024 as compared to Rs 164.97 lakhs in fiscal 2023. The total comprehensive income (after accounting for foreign exchange difference on translation of foreign operations) for the fiscal 2024 is Rs 135.17 lakhs as compared to Rs 118.06 lakhs in fiscal 2023.

The steam turbine generator market has seen remarkable growth compared to last year, with promising prospects for further expansion. Key drivers of this surge include the waste-to-energy and heat recovery sectors, alongside notable advancements in geothermal energy. There has been a surge in demand for hydro turbine generators, driven by projects in Norway and other regions, facilitated by European OEMs. The gas engine generators segment has remained stable throughout the year. Notably during the fiscal 2024, we have supplied generators for a new application of battery storage based on CO2 to a customer in Italy. Overall, the market has grown by approximately 20%, and this positive trend is expected to continue into the following year.

TURKEY SUBSIDIARY

The total revenue of the Company during fiscal 2024 is Rs 593.98 lakhs as compared to Rs 2,759.51 lakhs in fiscal 2023. The loss before tax in fiscal 2024 is Rs 355.97 lakhs as compared to profit before tax of Rs 263.89 lakhs in fiscal 2023. The total comprehensive loss (after accounting for foreign exchange difference on translation of foreign operations) for the fiscal 2024 is Rs 383.85 lakhs as compared to Rs 48.53 lakhs in fiscal 2023 mainly due to foreign exchange translation Loss of

Rs 400.53 lakhs in fiscal 2024 as compared to Rs 180.42 lakhs which is notional in nature due to sharp depreciation of Turkish Lira to Indian Rupee.

The Turkish market has encountered a significant downturn in local manufacturing projects, largely attributable to the prevailing economic slowdown and the incentive policy of the Government towards for made in Turkey power equipment including generators. Currently, only a handful of projects remain active and this trend is anticipated to persist until economic conditions improve and better financing options become available for new projects. Despite these challenges, we have successfully manufactured three generators this year. However, the outlook for the upcoming year appears subdued, with lower expectations compared to the current year. As a result, we are planning to temporarily halt production activities after fulfilling the last of our deliveries. However, we continue to remain market leaders for made in Turkey generators with over 80 generators already manufactured & installed in Turkey over the last 3 years.
