As per the requirement of Schedule V of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the Management Discussion and Analysis of the events that have taken place and conditions prevailing during the period under review are elucidated.
? INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT
The Company is engaged in manufacturing of Granite Tiles & Slabs. The main market for the companys product is USA, South Africa, U.K, UAE, Canada, Europe and Australia. The Global and Domestic Economy have been witnessing sectoral turnaround during the year, yet economic challenges prevail, which have impact on construction and building material industries.
? OUTLOOK
National initiatives such as Make in India, Skill India, Start-up India, Smart Cities, Housing for All, Affordable Low-Cost Housing; broadening financial inclusion, streamlining of taxation structure with the passage of the GST, strengthening of infrastructure, etc. would lead to improvement in the economic growth of the country in the coming future.
The company foresees reasonable growth of its product line and varieties of Natural stones, designer mosaics as well as semi precious stone products and concepts, subject to the nationwide economic activity being opening up fully post pandemic. The economic outlook for the year is still uncertain but viewed with cautious optimism. Our plans for the growth of the business and profitability are based on an average economic outlook, in the present business scenario.
? OPPORTUNITY AND THREATS
The perceived threats for the Company are acute competition from Brazil and China, ever increasing material cost, unremunerative prices and availability of good quality raw materials due to export of the same in raw form.
The crisis is severe, but with the able management at the realm of affairs, the company, its products and the market will cover well and fast enough.
? RISKS & CONCERNS
Rough Granite Blocks are raw material for products of the Company. As such the export of Rough Blocks may affect the profitability of the Company. The currency movement of India or competing nation can impact the business negatively. If Indian currency appreciates compare to other exporting nations or competing countrys currency depreciates it will impact our exports.
Over the last couple of years, the demand for engineered stone has increased at the expense of natural stones, which includes granite. While this change is more pronounced in certain countries, this trend could accelerate in the coming years and impact the long-term demand potential for granite.
The company is constantly working to find new export markets for its products which will help in diversification of risks and any adverse currency movement in one country will have a minimal impact on companys business.
The government of India has approved a new scheme named Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported products (RODTEP). While the finer details of this new scheme and remission rates under it are yet to be notified, the scheme essentially aims at refunding taxes and duties like value added tax on fuel that is beyond the ambit of the goods and service tax (GST) to exporter.
Intuitively this raises a major issue. Given what the RODTEP attempts to refund the rate under it are unlikely to be comparable to the MEIS rates lost in transit.
With India in a lockdown and a large chunk of its workforce, particularly, those employed in Micro, small and Medium enterprise back in the hinterlands, another major concern.
? INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY
The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and no material reportable weakness was observed in the system. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy of Internal Control System at regular intervals and provide guidance for improvement and ensure that The Board of Directors of the Company has a policy by which it reviews the various risks to which the Company is exposed to and ensure proper regulatory compliances for exercising effective Internal Controls so that the companys interest and assets are safeguarded.
? HUMAN RESOURCES
The Company has adequate 30 qualified and experienced human resources commensurate with its size and industrial relations continue to be cordial as the company continues to lay emphasis on development at all levels.
