Management Discussion and Analysis Report as required under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (the Listing Regulations) is annexed with this report.

Industry Structure and Development:-During the year under review, the Company witnessed steady growth, with overall revenue rising to ?1,359.79 Lakhs as compared to ?1,281.13 Lakhs in the previous year. This improvement was driven by technological up-gradation, operational efficiencies, and favorable market conditions for the Companys products. The industry continued to benefit from evolving customer demand, increased acceptance of quality-enhanced products, and improved supply chain dynamics, which collectively contributed to the Companys performance.

The Company remains committed to enhancing profitability by reducing overall costs and improving operational efficiency through the augmentation and consolidation of its resources. In addition, the identification and successful integration of a new source of income has opened fresh avenues for growth, contributing positively to the Companys financial performance. These initiatives are expected to strengthen the Companys competitive position and support sustainable long-term growth.

The Companys growth prospects are challenged by its limited financial resources, which restrict its ability to invest in advanced technological upgrades. This limitation places the Company at a relative disadvantage when competing with industry peers who possess superior technological capabilities and larger investment capacities. Furthermore, fluctuations in raw material prices, evolving regulatory requirements, and changing customer preferences add to the competitive pressure. Sustained competition from technologically advanced players could impact market share and profitability if not addressed through strategic measures.

The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market environment, making it difficult to forecast business performance with absolute certainty. Intense competition from well-established players with greater technological expertise and stronger financial resources continues to pose a significant risk to the Companys market share and profitability.

In addition, volatility in raw material prices may impact production costs and margins. The Company is also exposed to regulatory and compliance risks, given the evolving legal framework within which it operates. Furthermore, the dependency on a limited product portfolio increases vulnerability to market fluctuations, changes in customer demand, and sector-specific downturns. Proactive risk management strategies and diversification of product offerings remain key priorities to mitigate these challenges.
