FISCAL 2023 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 2022

Revenue from Operation

At the outset of FY 22-23, although the company possessed a very promising order book, including export orders, there was only marginal growth in revenue from operations in Fiscal 2023 compared to Fiscal 2022. This was primarily attributed to two factors:

1. Increased utilization of available banking limits as bank guarantees for project commitments: Despite the absence of a corresponding increase in the banks sanctioned guarantee limit, the company managed to effectively leverage its existing bank guarantee limit. This allowed the company to bid for projects and secure commitments, thereby contributing to the growth in revenue.

2. Delays in the sanction of additional limits for project execution by the bank due to internal issues: The company was able to maintain growth, however at a reduced rate, as the available banking limits remained the same as FY 21 - 22 at 33.6 Cr. The bank enhanced the limits to 47 Cr at the end of FY 22-23 (on 28th March 2023).

Although the rate of growth was marginal in FY 22-23, the company has further increased its order book for the next year due to its technical eligibility. By bidding for high-value projects beyond 10,000.00 lakh single project value, with

advanced membrane technologies and Zero Liquid Discharge Systems with high-profit margins, the company has been able to execute projects with high margins in FY 23-24, leading to increased PAT margins.

This trend is expected to continue in the years to come, considering the increase in eligibility criteria of the company, allowing it to bid for projects with values over 25,000.00 Lakhs, and the increase in banking limits through the addition of a new bank to the existing.

Other Income

Other income had increased from Rs25.00 lakhs in Fiscal 2022 to ^31.79 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 due to increase in interest on deposits and foreign exchange gain.

Further in the year 2023 the company had earned foreign exchange gain amounting to Rs14.31 lakhs which was Rs2.04 lakhs in the fiscal year 2022.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold had increased by 7.47% from Rs8,524.76 lakhs in Fiscal 2022 to Rs9,161.56 lakhs in Fiscal 2023. This increase is due to corresponding increase in sales during Fiscal 2023.
