2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

I. Industry Structure and Development:

India is an attractive hub for foreign investments in the manufacturing sector. Several mobile phone, luxury and automobile brands, among others, have set up or are looking to establish their manufacturing base in the country.

The manufacturing sector of India has the potential to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2025. The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) will make India a common market with a GDP of US$ 2.5 trillion along with a population of 1.32 billion people, which will be a big draw for investors. The India Brand and Equity Foundation (IBEF) predicts that India has potential to become a global manufacturing hub and by 2030, it can add more than US$ 500 billion annually to the global economy.

With impetus on developing industrial corridors and smart cities, the Government aims to ensure holistic development of the nation. The corridors would further assist in integrating, monitoring and developing a conducive environment for the industrial development and will promote advanced practices in manufacturing.

Manufacturing has emerged as one of the high growth sectors. Govt. of India launched the Make in India program to place India on the world map as a manufacturing hub and give global recognition to the Indian economy. Government aims to create 100 million new jobs in the sector by end of calendar year 2022.

Indias gross domestic product (GDP) at current prices stood at Rs. 51.23 lakh crore (US$ 694.93 billion) in the third quarter of FY21, as per the provisional estimates of gross domestic product for the first quarter of 2021-22. The manufacturing GVA at current prices was estimated at US$ 77.47 billion in the third quarter of FY22.

As per the survey conducted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), capacity utilisation in Indias manufacturing sector stood at 72.0% in the second quarter of FY 2021-22, indicating significant recovery in the sector after the Covid 19 second wave.

According to Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), cumulative FDI inflows in the manufacturing subsectors amounted to US$ 100.35 billion between April 2020 and June 2021.

Reflecting the cumulative actions taken by the Government to improve business sentiments, India is ranked 63 among 190 economies in the Ease of Doing Business, according to the latest World Bank annual ratings.

II. Segment-wise operational performance:

Air Solutions is the only segment in your Companys operations. The gross revenue of Air Solutions business in the year under review was Rs. 90,992 lakhs as against Rs. 61,773 lakhs in the previous financial year, an impressive growth of over 47%. Your Company continues to focus on local innovation and creating markets "In India; For India; By India".

The profit before tax is Rs. 14,836 lakhs in the year under review as against Rs. 10,778 lakhs in the previous financial year, a significant jump of over 37%.

Your Company demonstrated resilience and made a robust recovery despite encountering severe business disruption caused by multiple waves of the pandemic and the stringent nationwide lockdown that had hit the operations of the Company during the peak selling seasons.

Your Companys products are primarily sold to industries in the automotive, metals, pharmaceutical and textile sectors and these sectors have registered strong growth in the previous quarter.

III. Outlook:

Indias real GDP is likely to record a growth of 7.5 per cent in financial year 2022-23. Despite the ongoing global unrest, the domestic economy is estimated to be able to maintain its tempo of growth due to appropriate fiscal and monetary policy backed with the implementation rigor to speed up the revival of the economy. If the Russia - Ukraine war ends soon, India will emerge much stronger during financial year 2022-23 going beyond the expected growth trajectory.

IV. Risk and Concerns:

The primary operating risks which could impact the Company relate to slowdown in the automotive, metals, pharmaceutical and textile sectors, exposure to seasonality for some of its businesses, competition from Indian and global players, volatile exchange rates, interest rate fluctuation, credit risks, import dependence, procurement concentration risks, volatile commodity prices risks, changes in tax and other legislations as well as risks arising out of higher input costs. The Company constantly monitors the challenges from amongst the ecosystem comprising competition, industry, product life cycle, raw materials cost etc. and takes steps to maintain and enhance existing competence. The primary threat over and above competitors is the demand supply gap infused due to COVID 19 pandemic, inflationary pressure, supply chain disruption and geo political volatile conditions. Availability of spurious parts and components as well as imports of substandard complete packages at cheap prices to disrupt the fair competition is also an added threat. COVID has also increased the pressure on operational spend reduction for most of small and medium scale industries especially for non-critical component manufacturing. Fluctuating foreign currency rates will have impact on imports.

V. Opportunities and Threats:

A confluence of factors on the global and local fronts, such as geo-political equations between countries, the usage of tariff and non-tariff barriers to address trade imbalances, volatility in crude oil and commodity prices, and the speed with which the spread of COVID-19 would eventually get contained in India, could impact business continuity and consumer confidence. The Company will continue to closely monitor the macro and micro level trends in the global and Indian economy and will take necessary steps to address these challenges.
