(III) Other Information:

Annexure – C

Reasons for loss or inadequate profits:

Although the Company has been reporting profits till Financial Year 2017‐18, it reported loss for the Financial Year 2018‐19, which was mainly on account of fair valuation of investment in the shares of Electrosteel Steels Limited, a former Associate Company of the Company, and advance and trade receivables written off as per approved resolution plan as confirmed by the Hon'ble National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ('NCLAT') by its order dated 10 August, 2018. Though the Company has reported profit for the Financial Years 2019‐20 and 2020‐21, the ongoing pandemic caused by the novel Coronavirus (COVID‐19) has impacted economies all around the Globe and continues to affect businesses and operations, globally. The outbreak has moved quickly across countries, thus, disrupting global production, supply chain, trade, etc. The Company's business operations too have been impacted as the plants were under shutdown during the lockdown periods imposed by the Central and State Governments and other authorities. During Financial Year 2020‐21, production of Company's main product, i.e., DI Pipes was disrupted for about 70 days due to nationwide lockdown which led to fall in overall profitability of the Company.

Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement:

Production and dispatches were stopped from 24 March, 2020 due to imposition of nationwide lockdown on account of the COVID‐19 pandemic, however, the Company resumed production from 6 June, 2020.

Further, the Company has initiated several measures towards achieving organisational and operating efficiencies and strengthening core competencies, alongside working on improvements in processes and controls, and inter alia:

¾ The Company is taking various measures for raw material availability and reduce its input raw material cost including specific consumption per unit of product.
¾ The Company has also adopted various measures for cutting production cost & administrative expenses, improving operating and energy efficiencies and increasing overall productivity.
¾ The Company is also exploring means to use resources/assets to minimize loss.
1. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:

Although it is not possible at this stage to quantify the increase in productivity, sales and profits, a reasonable improvement in demand for the Company's products is expected going forward, subject to improvement in business situation and other external factors. The management continues to be cautiously optimistic towards the external economic environment and expects consumer demand to become more consistent. Production will be at same level, however, sales prices are expected to increase as cost of raw materials is increasing. The Company expects higher turnover on the Smart City Projects. Increase in turnover will result in improved margin leading to improvement in profitability. As a standard practice, various initiatives have been taken for further improvement, also taking care of products variety and quantity in both domestic and export markets.

Further, as a continual effort, the Company continues to provide special attention towards improvement in production of new range of products, productivity, quality, energy conservation and human resource. Further, to meet and improve upon the expectations of both International and Domestic customers, the Company has continued its activities towards development and to add a number of product variants to its existing product base.

Though the pipe industry is following a downturn, in anticipation of revival of the market in the near future, the above steps taken/proposed to be taken by the Company are expected to increase the productivity and profits of the Company.
