Recent milestones during this quarter reflect our strategic efforts and focus areas. Top line continued to expand based on successful execution of our order book. I am glad to share that we have continued to grow our order book during this quarter by securing several new orders.
Some of the new contracts we bagged during this quarter include orders from overseas customers worth USD 160 Mn as well as from our prestigious customers like IAI-ELTA SYSTEMS and Lockheed Martin. These contracts reflect the strong brand recall that DCX has built for itself in the global markets, through its unmatched product quality, consistency in delivery, and robust production capabilities.
I am glad to share that both DCX and our W-o-S Raneal have cleared all its short term and long-term fund-based borrowings from the lenders and are now debt free. Further, we have been reassured of A-/Stable and A2+ credit rating for our long-term and shortterm borrowings from the reputed credit rating agency CRISIL, which demonstrates stability in the business.
Our focus continues to be on entering new geographies, leveraging Make-in-India initiative and establishing DCX as a Product company through Transfer of Technology (ToT). We shall continue to improve operational efficiencies to deliver sustainable value for all our stakeholders. I thank the entire team of DCX and all our stakeholders for your faith and support which helps us set and achieve new benchmarks.”
