III. OTHER INFORMATION:
1. Reasons of loss or inadequate profits:
WIL is an Indian company with diversified business portfolio in High-tech Manufacturing of Critical equipment in the field of Aerospace, Nuclear, Defence, Gears and other manufacturing equipments.
The revenue for FY 2024 – 25 stands at INR 29,484 lakhs and the net loss is to the tune of INR 8,603 lakhs. The Loss for the FY 2024-25 includes onetime provision of Rs. 5,431 lakhs towards expected losses due to cost overrun on TNEB projects.
However, it has to be noted that there has not been any change in the basic fundamental of the business. In fact, the fundamentals have improved owing to a deliberate strategic shift towards manufacturing businesses as compared to EPC and since substantial improvement in Nuclear Business is expected.
2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvements
The following steps are taken or are proposed for improvements:
-
Ongoing focus on strategic manufacturing businesses (Defence, Missiles, Aerospace, and Nuclear) – favored both from a core competence and profitability perspective.
-
Continue focus on product businesses –crushing & Grinding, Gear and Centrifugals.
-
Ongoing thrust on cost-control (rationalization of manpower cost as well as administrative and consumables costs in the right areas without compromising on quality and delivery).

-
Further strengthening of the execution of current order book of strategic manufacturing orders.
Exploring further business opportunities in Nuclear and defence.
3. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:

==> picture [452 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
