CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT AT 130TH AGM - 25TH SEPTEMBER, 2020
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors and on my own behalf, I extend a very warm welcome to each one of you to the 130th Annual General Meeting of your Company. I thank you for your presence today through Video Conferencing (VC) and for your continued support.
I would like to brief you on the economic scenario and your Company's Business performance during the year 2019-20.
ECONOMIC SCENARIO
As we meet, we are in the midst of some unprecedented times. The entire world and India is grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic and the huge challenges it has thrown ups. Governments across the globe are at a dilemma - on one hand about how much and how long to impose lockdown conditions to arrest the spread of the pandemic and on the other side, how to quickly restore the business conditions and jumpstart the wheels of the economy.
As I speak, the infection rate continues to rise in several parts of the country, but we are learning to live and work in the changed circumstances. There is hope that a vaccine will be available in the near

future. I must salute the spirit of the Goverrunent authorities, healthcare workers, police, and the public, in fighting the pandemic.
The GDP growth rate during 2019-20 showed a declining trend in each quarter. Further the impact of COVID 19 has resulted in a substantial decline in economic activity. However, we are confident that with the recent reforms announced by the Central goverrunent, we shall be able.to overcome these challenges and the growth will be back on track.
The return of daily life and manufacturing activity to near normalcy gives hope for a U-shaped economic recovery.

In order to restructure the Engineering Business operation with rationalization of workforce and/ or induction of strategic investor who will provide technology and investment, the Board of directors of the Company has approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement which provides (1) Transfer of Engineering Business Undertaking into 100% subsidiary to facilitate the strategic partner(s) (2) Restructuring the outstanding loan, debts and liabilities pertaining to Engineering Business to improve the serviceability of such liabilities and revive the Business Undertaking.
