The directors have pleasure in presenting this 128th Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of your Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2018.

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

Global economy picked up on the cyclical recovery that started in late 2016 and experienced broad based growth in 2017-18. In particular, economic activity gained momentum in the US and Europe. Global manufacturing activity continued to grow on account of favourable financing conditions, accommodative policies, rising investor confidence and increase in commodity prices.

India’s economy picked up some pace in FY 2017-18 and the gross domestic product growth was better than FY 2016-17. In terms of economic performance in the year under consideration, India stood tall amongst its global peers and continues to maintain prospect of significant growth. With an improving business ecosystem, stable macroeconomic indicators and a liberal FDI regime, foreign capital inflow has provided impetus to the domestic economy.

Currently, India is witnessing remarkable transformation. Ease of doing business, mega tax reforms, financial inclusion, universal health insurance, mass digitalisation, infrastructure development and the growth of manufacturing and service sectors are some of the change enablers. More so, the country currently enjoys prudent fiscal conditions, stable inflation, growing trade and steady employment creation to support sustainable GDP growth. Not surprisingly, the country is in the spotlight globally.

There were several structural reforms implemented in the country including the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code amongst others, during the year under review. These structural initiatives are important for enhancing the country’s future competitiveness.

Though increasing oil prices remains a major risk to the country’s external balance, we are optimistic about the future. Indian economy is expected to grow at 7.4% in FY2018-19 on the back of higher private consumption & investment, improved global demand, better monsoon, credit uptick and continued reforms undertaken by the Government.

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

Textile Division

The Textile Division of the Company is located at Hisar in Haryana with a capacity of 1,14,096 Spindles. During the year under review, the Profit Before Tax (PBT) decreased to Rs. 15.51 crores in financial Year 2017-18 as compared to Rs. 31.21 crores in the previous financial year 2016-17. During the year, the profitability of the Textile Division was lower primarily due to decrease in margin in the first half of the year on account of reduction in yarn prices, lower market demand, rupee appreciation etc. However, in the 2nd half with the arrival of new crop in India, cotton prices fell, thereby improving margins.

Engineering Division

The Engineering Division is supplying castings across all segments in the automotive market: cars, multi-utility vehicles, tractors, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles and earth moving equipment.

During the year, the Division achieved total dispatch of 40,957 MT (previous year 44,970 MT). The Engineering Division continued to make losses because of lower volume due to production constraints primarily on account of IR issues, decline in margin because of higher rejection, increased input cost and under recovery of the fixed overheads. The interaction with the workmen by officials of Division at different level have been increased to maintain cordial relations with them and to improve their morale,

The Division is continuously focusing to achieve improved quality standard, skill set improvement and enhancement of manpower and machine efficiencies for better productivity and cost effectiveness across all areas of operations.

IT Division

The IT Division of the Company is an established service provider for managed IT Services globally. The Division has over a decade’s experience in IT Infrastructure services specializing in networking, analytics, cloud, and digital technologies.

During the year under review, the sales and other income of the Division was Rs. 44.98 crores (previous year Rs. 60.11 crores) and Profit before Tax (PBT) was Rs 1.63 crores (Previous year Rs. 5.98 crores).

The performance of the Division was adversely affected due to IT budget cut backs of primary customers and slow offtake in the US market. The business operations have now been aligned to cater to the newer opportunities in cloud, automation, and digital services in the overseas market, and special thrust on Smart Cities in India. This should help the Division to grow faster in future.
