Globally India competes with Brazil, Italy and China for granite exports. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economy & business around the world and within the Country.

Further there is a change in the trend in usage of natural stones across the globe. New products like engineered stone are making a mark and consumer preference is shifting towards the new products. Due to global economic instability, major currencies across the globe faced high exchange rate volatility against US DOLLAR which affected our order position leading to decline in sales and low profitability.

Apart from the above, non-availability of good quality rough granite blocks because of closure of quarries due to environmental issues, sharp increasing in the prices of rough granite blocks i.e the primary raw materials, high input costs and slowdown of export markets because of several external factors which were beyond our control, the turnover was affected and consequently the profitability was also reduces substantially.

With these steps the Company is expected to grow at the rate of more than 10% for the FY 2021-22 and will maintain the same for the next few years and profitability wise also,it is expected to maintain adequate profit level.
