Your directors have pleasure in presenting the Management Discussion and Analysis Report for the year ended on March 31, 2025.
OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMIN SCENARIO:
GLOBAL SITUATION:
The Capital market witnessed record levels of activity and participation, supported by improved investor sentiment, stable policy framework, and increasing financial literacy.
The global economy in FY 2024 25 navigated a complex and uneven recovery path amidst several ongoing challenges. While inflationary pressures eased in advanced economies, central banks across the world remained cautious, maintaining a tight monetary stance. The United States experienced resilient consumer spending and a stable labor market, allowing it to avert recession fears, though growth remained modest. In the Eurozone, growth remained subdued due to high energy prices and geopolitical uncertainties stemming from the prolonged Russia Ukraine conflict. Chinas post-pandemic recovery showed signs of fatigue, with sluggish domestic demand, real estate sector stress, and export headwinds weighing on growth momentum. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP growth is estimated at 2.8% in FY2025 as compared to its projection of 3.2% for FY2024. Key downside risks include ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in commodity markets, and tighter global financial conditions. These factors have implications for capital flows, investment activity, and trade patterns across emerging markets, including India. From an infrastructure perspective, global investors continued to demonstrate keen interest in long-term sustainable assets such as affordable housing, renewable energy, and climate-resilient infrastructure. However, project financing remained constrained due to higher interest rates and cautious lending by global financial institutions. India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships. India is expected to become the third-largest economy in the world with a GDP of $5 trillion in the next three years and touch $7 trillion by 2030 on the back of continued reforms. Ten years ago, India was the 10th largest economy in the world, with a GDP of $1.9 trillion at current market prices. Today, it is the 5th largest with a GDP of $3.7 trillion. The government has, however, set a higher goal of becoming a developed country by 2047.
DOMESTIC SITUATION:
Indias economy remained a bright spot in the global landscape, demonstrating resilience and strong fundamentals despite external headwinds. As per estimates from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Ministry of Finance, Indias GDP is expected to grow by 7.0 7.2% in coming years, supported by robust domestic demand, higher capital expenditure by the government, and a rebound in private investment.. Amid this favorable macroeconomic backdrop, the company strategically specialized its business functioning and initiated a major shift towards securities trading and long term investments. While this transition impacted short-term revenue, it aligned the company with broader market trends and economic opportunities.
Looking ahead, the Indian economy is expected to remain a key growth engine globally and the company remains optimistic about leveraging these macroeconomics tailwinds for sustained value creation.
