DEE Development Engineers Ltd Directors Report

Dear Members,

The Directors have the pleasure in presenting the Thirty-Sixth (36 th ) Directors Report on the operations of DEE Development Engineers Limited (DDEL, or Company), together with the Audited Financial Statements for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2025 and other accompanying reports, notes, and certificates.

Company Overview

DDEL provides comprehensive specialized process piping solutions including engineering services such as pre bid engineering, basic engineering, detailed engineering and support engineering which includes engineering of process/ power piping systems for projects, and pre-fabrication services such as cutting and beveling on conventional and CNC machines, welding services on semi-automatic and fully automatic robotic welding machines, conventional and digital radiography, post weld heat treatment using CNG fired fully calibrated furnaces and induction heating process, hydro testing, pickling and passivation, grit blasting (manual and semi-automatic) and painting (manual and semiautomatic). The company also specializes in handling complex metals such as varying grades of carbon steel, stainless steel, super duplex stainless steel, alloy steel and other materials including Inconel and Hastelloy in its manufacturing processes.

The company has been focused on automating certain manufacturing processes and its Manufacturing Facilities are equipped with equipment such as fully automated robotic welding systems, semi-automatic shot blasting machines, automatic GMAW welding system and fully automatic high frequency induction bending machines that have a diameter of up to 48 inches.

Products

The Companys product portfolio primarily consists of piping spools, industrial pipe fittings, induction pipe bends, pressure vessels, industrial stacks, modular piping (skids and modules), wind turbine towers and pilot plants, which the company manufactures as per the requirements of its customers in domestic and international markets.

1. Piping Spools

Piping spools are prefabricated components of a piping system and include pipes, flanges and industrial pipe fittings. They connect long pipes, either with butt weld ends which get welded at sites and or with flanges at the tips so that they can be bolted to another pipe or equipment with similar type of flanges. They are usually fabricated off-site wherein the raw pipes are pre-cut to desired sizes and temporarily fitted together with industrial pipe fittings and other components, and finally the partially finished sub-assembly is welded with other spool components. The pipe spools are mounted during the fabrication process and delivered pre-mounted which, in our experience, makes it easier to assemble and is useful for industries which operate with limited space and shorter turnaround time for construction.

2. Induction Pipe Bends

Induction pipe bends, also known as weldless pipe spools, are pipes bent at desired angles and are manufactured through high frequency induction bending. Induction bending uses induction coils to generate extreme heat in the area of pipe which needs to be bent. The heated section is then moulded by a fixed arm and bent to get the desired angle. We manufacture seamless, Longitudinally Submerged Arc Welding (LSAW) induction pipe bends in the material grades of carbon steel, alloy steel, austenitic steel, stainless steel, super duplex stainless steel and Incoloy materials. We specialise in alloy steel grade P91 and P92 air-quench induction bends and stainless-steel induction bending. Induction pipe bends are used in various industries like power (thermal and nuclear), oil and gas, petrochemical refineries, process industries, desalination plants and cement industries.

3. Industrial Pipe Fittings

Industrial pipe fittings are used in piping systems to connect straight pipes or tubing sections and help in adapting to different sizes or shapes, wherever required to provide a joint if two dissimilar piping materials are used in the same system, or for redirecting the piping system.

DDEL uses industrial pipe fittings to manufacture pipe spools as well as for direct sale to OEMs. The company also manufacture and engineers Y pieces and long U bends which requires skilled labour and advanced machinery, which find applications in the power and oil and gas industries, respectively.

4. Pressure Vessels

A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure which is significantly different from the ambient pressure, either internally or externally. Typically, the various components of a pressure vessel include the shell (provides the longitudinal length of the vessel and are generally circular in shape); head (one of the end caps on a cylindrically shaped pressure vessel); nozzle (inserted into the shell or head and is the first step of connecting to the process piping system); skirt & legs (saddle that carries the weight of the vessel) and internals (such as weir, wave breaker, splash plate, vortex breaker etc.). DDEL manufactures different types of pressure vessels depending on customer specifications.

5. Modular Piping (Skids and Modules)

Modular skids and modules are self-contained piping systems wherein machinery, piping system and instrumentation are enclosed in a frame or module. Modular skid can be either, part of the manufacturing infrastructure or in case of a small plant, the entire manufacturing infrastructure. At times, a few modular skids are combined to constitute one large plant ( Source: D&B Report ). We believe that modular skids offer several advantages over the conventional process piping solutions due to their compact design, which enables portability and quicker installation, including reduction of on-site weld joints and cost of welding, lower procurement costs since an entire skid or module can be procured through a singular transaction and involves shorter time duration in making the plant site ready.

6. Wind Turbine Towers and Industrial Stacks

DDEL manufactures wind turbine towers, which is made up of the tower, the nacelle and rotor blades. Our wind turbine towers are delivered with tubular steel towers, which are manufactured in sections of 12 meters to 33 meters with flanges at either end, which are bolted together at the site where the wind turbine tower is required to be set up. The wind turbine towers which we manufacture are equipped with working platforms and a ladder with a fall protection system. The company manufactures wind turbine towers with varying specifications, as per the requirements and specifications of customers. The company utilizes steel plates, flanges, mechanical internals, electrical internals and power cables as raw materials in the manufacture of wind turbine towers.

Industrial stacks, also knowns as smokestacks or chimney stacks, are a type of chimney or vertical pipe through which flue gases, which are the product of combustion of coal, fuel, oil, natural gas or wood are exhausted into the air. The industrial stacks which we manufacture range from 30 meters to 140 meters. DDEL utilizes carbon steel and stainless steel as raw material in the manufacture of industrial stacks. Industrial stacks are used in various industries such as oil and gas and process industries.

7. Pilot Plants

Pilot plants are small-scale process plants which act as a pre-commercial production system to evaluate the feasibility of certain processes before the start of full-scale production. DDEL has recently expanded its business by entering a new business vertical of design, engineering, fabrication and manufacturing of pilot plants at its Palwal Facility III. Certain projects by government owned companies, in the pilot plant sector are awarded on the basis of competitive bidding, wherein vendors are evaluated inter alia on their technical capabilities and the infrastructure required to execute such projects. DDEL has the required technical capabilities and infrastructure set up which enables the company to bid for projects in the pilot plant sector. Other projects in the pilot plant sector, such as those by privately owned chemical and pharmaceutical companies are awarded on the basis of bilateral or multi-party negotiations.

Facilities

DDEL has seven strategically located Manufacturing Facilities at Palwal in Haryana, Anjar in Gujarat, Barmer in Rajasthan, Numaligarh in Assam and Bangkok in Thailand, with three Manufacturing Facilities located at Palwal, Haryana. DDELs wholly owned subsidiary, DFIPL operates the Anjar Heavy Fabrication Facility which is dedicated to heavy fabrication. The Company also has a dedicated engineering facility located at Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The company also operate two biomass power generation facilities at Abohar and Muktsar in Punjab. DDELs seven Manufacturing Facilities, the Anjar Heavy Fabrication Facility, the Chennai Engineering Facility, the Abohar Biomass Power Plant and the Muktsar Biomass Power Plant together span an area of more than 7 Lakh square meters.

Development of Anjar II Unit, Gujarat

During the year, the Company has undertaken significant development at its Anjar II Unit, Gujarat, located in the Kutch district. This facility has been established as a strategic manufacturing base with state-of-the-art infrastructure to strengthen the Companys presence in western India. The unit is designed to enhance production capacity, improve operational efficiency, and cater to the growing demand across domestic as well as international markets. Its proximity to major ports provides a distinct logistical advantage for exports, thereby supporting the Companys global outreach.

Insurance

Our operations are subject to certain hazards such as work accidents, fire, earthquakes, flood and other force majeure events and explosions and those hazards which are inherent to piping companies such as destruction of property and inventory, losses resulting from defects or damages arising during transit of our products in addition to risk of equipment failure, acts of terrorism and environmental damage. We may also be subject to claims from our customers if the products that we manufacture are not in compliance with regulatory standards and the terms of our contractual arrangements.

We maintain insurance policies that we believe are customary for companies operating in our industry and which are necessary for our business. Our principal types of insurance coverage include, inter alia, contractors plant and machinery policy, public liability industrial policy, burglary insurance policy, standard fire and special perils policy, general liability insurance, fire loss of profit policy. We typically obtain marine single transit inland policy and marine export import insurance open policy for the transit of goods. We have also obtained a group medical policy, group personal accident insurance, group term policy, directors and officers liability insurance and workmens compensation policy for our employees. We obtain other specific insurance as may be required by our customers under the scope of work which we undertake.

These insurance policies are generally valid for a year and are renewed annually. We believe that the level of insurance we maintain is appropriate for the risks of our business. However, we cannot assure you that our current insurance policies will insure us fully against all risks and losses that may arise in future. Even if such losses are insured, we may be required to pay a significant deductible on any claim for recovery of such a loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss.

2. Initial Public Offering

DEE Development Engineers Limited, a seasoned player in the field of process piping solutions, has initiated its maiden Initial Public Offering (IPO), marking a pivotal development in its over three-decade-long corporate journey. Incorporated in 1988 and headquartered in Haryana, DEE Development Engineers has grown into a significant provider of engineering and fabrication services for industries including oil and gas, power, chemicals, and other heavy engineering segments. The IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to 3,250 million and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of up to 45.82 lakh shares by Promoter Mr. Krishan Lalit Bansal. The primary purpose of the fresh issue is to fund working capital requirements, repay certain borrowings, and support general corporate purposes. This capital infusion is expected to enhance the companys liquidity position and fuel future expansion strategies.

The company has adopted a 100% book-built issue method, with the shares proposed to be listed on both the BSE and NSE. The offer also includes a reservation for eligible employees and provisions for participation by qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), non-institutional investors (NIIs), and retail individual investors (RIIs), in accordance with SEBI regulations. NSE has been designated as the lead stock exchange for the issue. DEEs decision to go public aligns with its broader strategic vision to increase its market footprint, diversify its investor base, and strengthen its balance sheet. Being a capital-intensive business operating in an infrastructure-driven economy, access to public markets could offer DEE the necessary financial flexibility to scale operations and invest in technological enhancements. Additionally, listing on the stock exchange will provide liquidity to existing shareholders and improve corporate governance through enhanced transparency and disclosure norms.

Despite its strengths, potential investors should be mindful of the risks associated with the IPO. This is the companys first public issue, and therefore, its equity shares do not yet have a formal trading history. As highlighted in the Red Herring Prospectus, there is no assurance of sustained trading or stable pricing post-listing. Market dynamics, global supply chain disruptions, inflationary trends, and sector-specific challenges?€”especially in oil and gas?€”could impact the companys performance.

DEEs promoters have maintained a low acquisition cost for the shares being offered in the OFS, indicating long-term investment and confidence in the company. However, from an investors perspective, due diligence is necessary. The valuation metrics, competitive positioning, historical financial performance, and future earnings potential should be evaluated against the prevailing market conditions and peer group performance.

DEE Development Engineers Limited made a stellar debut on the stock exchanges on June 26, 2024, listing at 339 per share on the NSE?€”delivering a remarkable 67% premium over its issue price of 203. The strong listing was fueled by robust investor demand, as reflected in the IPO being oversubscribed nearly 100 times overall, with institutional and non-institutional categories witnessing particularly high interest. The impressive debut not only underscores market confidence in DEEs business fundamentals and growth potential but also signals a positive sentiment for infrastructure and engineering-focused companies in the capital markets.

In conclusion, DEE Development Engineers Limiteds IPO represents a significant milestone for the company and a potentially attractive proposition for investors seeking exposure to Indias growing infrastructure and industrial sectors. The companys strong legacy, diversified client base, and technical expertise provide a robust foundation. Nonetheless, as with any equity investment, it is critical for prospective investors to weigh the opportunities against the associated risks and make informed decisions based on their financial goals and risk appetite.
