II. Other information:

  • 1) Reasons of loss or inadequate profits:

Independent of financial performance for FY 2022-23, the Company may have inadequate profits for managerial renumeration considering the losses we had accumulated over the course of the last two financial years which were driven by the impact of the COVID-19 on the operations of the Company. Beginning March 25, 2020, our scheduled passenger services were suspended by the Government for a period of 61 days followed by phased resumption of domestic services from May 2021. Due to the severity of the crisis, there were several continued restrictions imposed by the Government including capacity restrictions, lockdowns, statewide travel restrictions and stringent testing requirements. All these measures led to a decline in demand due to which we were only able to serve 30.7 million passengers in FY 2021 and 49.8 million passengers in FY 2022 as compared to 75 million passengers in FY 2020. Apart from the pandemic, the recent geopolitical developments have led to significant increase in fuel prices and depreciation of Rupee. All these factors together materially impacted the Company’s financial performance resulting in significant accumulated losses during the period of FY 2021 through FY 2022.

  • 2) Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement:

The Company took several counter measures to handle the COVID-19 crisis. These measures include capacity and headcount reduction, cost reduction, liquidity enhancement, diversification of business with newer revenue streams such as Charters, Cargo in cabin and investment in modern fleet. The Company was able to partially mitigate the adverse impact and continues to drive fiscal discipline to improve our financial performance.

  • 3) Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:

  • With reduction in COVID-19 cases, the Company experienced robust demand for air travel leading to improved revenue performance. On the costs side, the Company has replaced the fleet with newer generation NEOs with lower fuel burn, significant increase in utilization levels and cost management across the organisation, that will help to increase the productivity and profits going forward. The first quarter of fiscal year 2023 witnessed the strongest revenue performance, resulting in the highest ever quarterly revenue of INR 130,187 million. However, headwinds caused by depreciating rupee and higher fuel prices led to a net loss of INR 10,654 million for the quarter ended June 2022. Excluding foreign currency loss of INR 14,246 million, net profit for the quarter aggregated to INR 3,592 million.

Save and except Mr. Ronojoy Dutta and his relatives, none of the other Directors, Key Managerial Personnel or their relatives are concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution forming part of this Postal Ballot Notice.

The Board recommends the resolution for approval by the Members of the Company by a Special Resolution.
