the Non-Executive Directors as per the limit prescribed in Schedule-V based on the Effective Capital.

Regulation 17(6) of the SEBI Listing Regulations authorises the Board of Directors to recommend all fees and compensation, if any, paid to Non-Executive Directors, including Independent Directors and the same would require approval of members in General Meeting. The commission will be distributed amongst all the Independent Directors, taking into consideration parameters such as attendance at Board

| Information | ||||
| The Company has inadequate profts during FY 2023-24. The Company is predominantly in Automotive Sector and the products which are being produced by the Company are exclusively for industrial use and as such there is no independent consumer market of its fnal products. It completely depends on the performance of its vendor i.e. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) In order to improve proftability on sustainable basis, the Company is taking/considering following major steps: a) Cost saving and improving substantial operational effciency by consolidating existing manufacturing facilities. b) Improving fnancial positions of the Company through debt reduction and other corporate actions. c) Diversifying the customer base. d) Business arrangement or re-organization such as diversifcation from Automotive to Non- Automotive sectors, set up of joint venture, takeover, merger etc. e) Disposal of investment and surplus assets generated as a result of consolidation of plants. Focus on international market through greater geographical penetration, as overall margins in exports are better than domestic market. |
