The Investment division has reported significantly higher profits, while outperforming all benchmark indices year after year.
Textiles Division: The Company resumed its inhouse wet production activities during the year upon commissioning of new Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system. As a result, it could significantly curtail outsourcing. This worked favourably for the Company in terms of higher operating volumes and better cost management. Effective cost management on part of the Company was supported by softened prices of most of the raw materials, dyes, chemicals and fuel. The textiles business has been able to increase the levels of operations and reduce its losses during the year.
Real Estate Division: The Division contributed significantly to the profitability of the Company, with its Swan Lake project booking revenue of 6983 lacs during the year. The division, which commenced its business about two years ago, is doing well with two projects on hand-Swan Lake, a week-end homes project and the recently launched project The Sovereign, a luxurious high-rise residential apartment project. The company received excellent response from the market for its Swan Lake project, with bookings having been received for about 60% of the overall project. Execution of the project is going on very well. As regards the Sovereign project, which started during the last quarter of the year, the construction work is in progress. The total built up area of the project is about 6,46,000 Sq Ft. The company has already invested 9200 lacs for the project.
Investment Division: The investment division has reported remarkably good profitability (based on mark-to-market accounting) during the year. The Division makes investment in equity shares with a longterm perspective with the approach of value investing. As per accounting norms, periodic performance is reported based on market value of shares held at the end of the period. The division has outperformed the benchmark indices in terms of XIRR year on year, with the current year XIRR at 78% being far superior to XIRR of various benchmark indices ranging from 25% to 39%.
