PATEL INTEGRATED LOGISTICS LIMITED CHARMAN’S ADDRESS
63RD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 08[TH] SEPTEMBER, 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I warmly welcome you all to the 63rd Annual General Meeting of your Company on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Management, and the Employees.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to join us today from wherever you are and for your continued trust in our Company. I hope you and your families are healthy and staying safe. On behalf of the Board of Directors and my colleagues, I sincerely thank you for your presence.
Economic Overview
The global economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in 2024 and 2025, navigating geopolitical instability and economic headwinds. Despite ongoing conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, trade flows and industrial output remained relatively steady, as noted in the UN Trade and Development report. However, rising protectionism— particularly US tariffs—disrupted supply chains and increased costs.
Global trade growth is projected at a modest 2.7% for 2025, reflecting a cautious recovery. The IMF forecasts global economic growth at 2.8%, a steady but below-trend pace. Advanced economies continue to face challenges such as high interest rates, tight fiscal policies, and sluggish productivity. Inflation is expected to decline from 4.3% in 2025 to 3.6% by 2026.
In India, the economy is projected to grow at an average rate of 6.2% for FY 2025–26, supported by robust domestic demand and sustained growth in the manufacturing and services sectors.
Company Performance
Your Company’s air cargo business performed well during the financial year 2024–25. While we faced several challenges due to the global economic slowdown, we have proactively implemented measures to mitigate their impact. We expect continued growth in the Air Cargo segment, driven by Government-led infrastructure initiatives. The outlook for the business remains dynamic and promising.
