MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS(a) Industry Structure and Developments:

Aluminium is more environment-friendly than steel, plastic and other materials. It has widespread uses throughout the economy and is equally important to both the industrial and consumer sectors. Key sectors to drive aluminium consumption in India are Auto, Power, Electronics, Railways, Aerospace & Defence Construction, Solar Energy and Aluminium packaging. Aluminium is 100% recyclable and consumes 95% less energy and releases 95% less greenhouse gases as compared to primary aluminium and there is no loss of properties or quality during the recycling process.

India's economy has significant growth potential driven by various factors, i.e. urbanization, growing digital economy, initiatives like "Make in India", increase of infrastructure projects, agriculture modernization, attracting foreign investment, ease of doing business, healthcare and pharmaceuticals services, expanding international trade and participating in global supply chains, tourism and advancements in space technology & satellite communication. India is one of the fastest growing economies globally, in addition to also being one of the fastest emerging markets. Thus, there is a vast scope for the industry to develop under the current scenario.

The Indian economy performed exceptionally well compared with the rest of the world. India is set to remain the bright spot in CY 2023 with a potential to contribute 15% to the global GDP growth, according to IMF. In December 2022, India also assumed G20 presidency with an ambition to unite the world under the theme "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "One Earth - One Family - One Future". This is an opportunity to showcase the nation's global leadership amidst growing uncertainty and economic crisis.

The Company is involved primarily in segment of manufacturing and trading of non-ferrous metals although major part of the business is covered by aluminium products. Company's main products line includes Aluminium Wire Rod, Aluminium Deox, Cored Wire, Aluminium Alloy Ingots, Ferro Titanium, and Conductor & Cables. The Company is operating in multiple products of aluminium and this multiplicity of operations minimizes the operating eventualities. A considerably wide geographical presence and reach, both domestic and international, have helped the Company to attempt de-risking its business and meet the risks with suitable precaution. Your company is well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunity due to significant competitive strength, acquired over the years.

(b) Opportunities & threats:Opportunities

India continues to forge ahead on its path of progress, creating remarkable opportunities for the non-ferrous metal sector. Non-Ferrous Metal Industry is one of the key sectors of Indian economy contributing significantly to nation's GDP and providing employment to large number of people, directly or indirectly as it meets the requirements of wide range of key industries and also plays vital role for country's vision for Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The Government of India continues to enhance international co-operation for promoting FDI and improve ease of doing business in the country.

GDP growth rate in FY 2024 expected to be 5.9%, lower than the FY 2023 growth of 6.8% due to subdued external demand and tightening monetary policy. However, India will remain the fastest growing major economy. Brent oil prices are expected to remain range bound in 2023, given the continuing war in Ukraine and sanctions imposed in response by the USA and European Union. India meets nearly 80% of its oil needs through imports. High oil prices will also have a trickledown effect on the prices paid by consumers for goods and services. Persistent inflation resulted in RBI to increase the repo rate by 250 basis points throughout FY 2022-23. Further rate hikes are expected in the coming year, despite no rate hike in the April-23 Monetary Policy Committee meeting.

India's manufacturing sector also outperformed the rest of the world, projecting the country as a potential manufacturing hub. Stable political conditions, supportive policy schemes, strong domestic consumption and growing presence of skilled professionals support this ambition. The GOI's focus to make the country an attractive destination for business has been a key enabler of robust economic performance.

In FY 2022-23, the Company delivered a resilient and strong performance, despite macroeconomic challenges, tough market conditions and global uncertainties. The Company has achieved sales of worth ' 35,996.29 Lakhs. The Company has significant spare capacity to increase its production and sales level. Accordingly, the Company has geared-up its marketing and production activities. This performance was mainly driven by higher volumes and better product mix, lower input costs, stability in operations and cost-saving actions.

Our business strategy prioritizes reaching our goals in a maximally responsible manner. We recognise the value of a diverse workforce. We remain committed to make an even bigger difference by reimagining and improving our work, investing in our people and welding a sustainable future.

(d) Outlook:

Last year was economically a challenging one, due to the various impact of COVID, supply chain disruptions, coupled with rising input costs and diesel prices on the back of geopolitical crisis. India continues to be the preferred hub of global companies across a wide range of industries due to multiple capabilities and low costs. India has become the innovation partner of many global companies due to its unique value proposition. India continues to offer innovative business models to lessen the impact of the economic downturn. This confirms the market is in a strong position to perform throughout the year.

(e) Risk and concerns:

The Company recognizes that risk is an integral part of business and it is committed to manage the risks in a proactive and efficient manner. Risk evaluation and management is an ongoing process within the Organization. The state of external environment, including factors like interest rates, inflation, and growth in economic activity, rationalization of tax structure, job creation & retention of manpower and consumer sentiment continues to be the biggest source of threat as well as opportunity for the Company. Any slowdown in the economic activity in the Country, significant job losses or high rates of inflation can severely impact the consumption and therefore growth of the Company.

The Company's business is exposed to many internal and external risks and it has consequently put in place robust systems and processes along with appropriate review mechanism to actively monitor, manage and mitigate these risks.

The Company positively ensures strict adherence to various procedures, laws, rules and statutes. Internal Control Systems are implemented:

• To keep constant check on cost structure.

• To provide adequate financial and accounting controls and implement accounting standards.

The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's internal control environment and monitors the implementation of audit recommendations. During the year, the Company has taken steps to review and document the adequacy and operating effectiveness of internal controls. Nonetheless, your Company recognizes that any internal control framework, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and accordingly, regular audits and review processes ensure that such systems are reinforced on an ongoing basis.

The Company ensures the periodical Internal Audit is conducted by an independent auditor, whose report is submitted to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors for consideration. During the financial year 2022-23, no significant deficiencies/material weaknesses that might impact financial statements have been reported by the Internal Auditor as at the Balance Sheet date.

Profit before Tax for the financial year 2022-23 stood at INR 695.77 Lakh as against Profit before Tax of INR 405.64 Lakh making the net profit of INR 528.40 Lakh for the financial year 2022-23 as against the net profit of INR 292.95 Lakh for the financial year 2021-22. Due to increase in raw material prices, operating and other expenses, the Company could not generate the more profit even though increase in revenue from operations.

The Board is making its continuous efforts for re-visiting the purchase policy of the Company and increasing the capacity utilization of manufacturing capacity and thereby achieving reduction in the fixed cost and manual intervention in the production will lead the Company to generate the profit in the coming years.
