The Operating segments based on the Company's products
have been identified as "Freight Rail Systems" (FRS) consisting
of Wagons Steel Castings and includes Shipbuilding, Bridges
and Defence, and "Passenger Rail Systems" (PRS) consisting
of Metro Coaches, EMUs, Trains Electricals, Tractions Motors.
During the year under review, the Company added two new
business verticals namely: (i)

- to focus on shipbuilding, ship repair, and
related maritime activities; and (ii)
Signalling and Safety
Systems (SSS)
- aimed at developing and implementing
railway signalling, train control, and safety solutions to
enhance operational efficiency and safety in railway systems.

Your Company's performance during the FinancialYear ended
March 31, 2025 (FY 2024-25) would have been substantially
better had the challenges witnessed in value chain including
mainly the shortage of wheels - a factor beyond the control
of the Company, not arisen and as such may be summed
up as reflecting sequential annual growth, particularly in
revenue, EBIDTA and profitability, driven by more efficient
operational execution even though the deliveries of Wagons
by FRS segment were impacted as stated hereinbefore.
The PRS segment is expected to improve significantly as
the design-phase of the projects moves into production.
Overall, the Company has delivered a reasonably satisfactory
performance during FY 2025 when viewed in the backdrop of
other important milestones achieved as reported hereunder
underlining the Company's continuing growth momentum.

On a standalone level, the key performance indicators including
mainly revenue from operations, EBIDTA and Profit after tax,
during FY 2025 registered marginal increase as compared to
the corresponding numbers in FY 23-24 despite the challenge
faced by mainly the shortage of wheels which has since been
eased and normalcy expected to be restored during the current
quarter.

On a consolidated basis, the Group's total income increased
from Rs. 3,893.11 Crores in FY 23-24 to Rs. 3,943.10 Crores in
FY 24-25 i.e. a marginal increase of 1.28%; the EBIDTA from
Rs. 491.74 Crores in FY 23-24 to Rs. 508.39 Crores in FY 24-25
recording an increase of 3.39% and Profit before tax for FY 24¬
25 [before exceptional items & tax and share of Profit / (Loss) of
joint ventures] was Rs. 405.66 Crores as compared to Rs. 391.18
Crores in FY 23-24, being an improvement of 3.70%.

for Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) and
advanced Propulsion Systems, revolutionizing the future
of rail transportation in the country. The engineering
Centre will also play a key role in executing TRSL's current
and upcoming rolling stock & propulsion projects like
Surat & Ahmedabad Metro, Vande Bharat, ICF EMU/

MEMU etc. demonstrating your Company's unwavering
commitment to the 'Make-in-India' and 'Aatmanirbhar
Bharat' initiatives towards a 'Viksit Bharat'.

• Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi unveiled
the Phase-II design of the Ahmedabad Metro, which

amenities to ensure maximum passenger comfort
enhancing the commuting experience and shaping the
future of urban transport in the city.

Private Limited (TFESPL), which was initially incorporated

between January 2026 to March 2027.

• The Company as a part of its strategic growth plans
announced formation of 2 new business verticals
namely Shipbuilding and Maritime Systems (SMS) and
Signalling and Safety Systems (SSS), for enhancing
focused growth in SMS and to be equipped to seize the
exciting opportunities in SSS space for consolidating
its leading position as a mobility solutions provider in
railway sector.

• Reinforcing its strategic focus on strong financial health

developments viz.

the Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal for approximately
40.009 acres of land contiguous to its existing factory

convertible warrants at INR 947/- each to members of
