H ECONOMIC REVIEW:
The global economy in FY 2024-25 presents a picture of resilience amid mounting
challenges, with growth
projected to decelerate from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.9% in 2025 according to the latest OECD
projections. This
slowdown reflects the impact of heightened trade policy uncertainty, elevated interest
rates and
persistent geopolitical tensions that have dampened business confidence and investment
decisions
worldwide. Advanced economies are expected to grow at a modest 1.8% in 2025, while
emerging markets
maintain relatively stronger momentum at approximately 3.7%, though both represent
downward
revisions from earlier forecasts. Global inflation is gradually moderating from 4.5% in
2024 to an
estimated 3.5% in 2025, supported by weaker commodity prices and softening demand, though
it remains
above pre-pandemic levels. The US economy is projected to slow significantly from 2.8%
growth in 2024
to 1.6% in 2025, while Chinas growth is expected to moderate to 4.7% as structural
challenges persist
India stands out as a bright spot, maintaining robust growth at 6.3% in FY26, positioning
it as the fastest-
growing major economy despite some moderation from previous years.
Key Challenges and Risks The global economic landscape faces unprecedented challenges
driven
primarily by escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainty, with effective tariff rates
reaching levels
not seen in a century. Geopolitical risks continue to fuel volatility, particularly from
ongoing conflicts in
Europe and the Middle East, which have disrupted supply chains, elevated energy prices and
contributed
to persistent inflationary pressures. Central banks worldwide are navigating a complex
monetary policy
environment, with most maintaining restrictive stances despite declining inflation, as
evidenced by policy
rates remaining well above pre-pandemic levels across major economies. Financial market
volatility has
intensified due to trade policy shocks and uncertainty, leading to delayed investment
decisions and
reduced business confidence. Emerging markets face additional headwinds from tighter
global financial
conditions, elevated debt burdens and reduced export demand from advanced economies, while
structural challenges including demographic constraints and supply chain fragmentation
pose medium-
term growth risks. The threat of renewed trade wars and potential retaliatory measures
could further
derail growth prospects, with the World Bank estimating that a significant escalation in
trade restrictions
could reduce global growth by 0.5% in 2025.
Outlook
The outlook for the global economy remains cautiously optimistic but heavily dependent
on policy
coordination and the resolution of current uncertainties, with growth expected to
stabilize around 2.9%
in both 2025 and 2026. Inflation is projected to continue its gradual decline toward
central bank targets,
with G20 economies seeing headline inflation moderate from 6.2% to 3.6% in 2025 and
further to 3.2%
in 2026. This disinflationary trend is expected to provide room for monetary policy easing
in most
regions, though the pace will vary significantly across economies. Emerging markets are
anticipated to
demonstrate greater resilience through robust domestic demand, diversification of export
markets and
increased investment in digital infrastructure and innovation, while advanced economies
face slower
growth trajectories constrained by structural headwinds and demographic challenges. The
recovery in
global trade is expected to be gradual, with trade growth projected to reach only 2.4% in
2026, well below
the pre-pandemic average of 4.6%. Key upside risks include potential resolution of trade
disputes through
multilateral cooperation and successful implementation of structural reforms, while
downside risks
encompass further escalation of geopolitical tensions, financial market disruptions and
renewed
inflationary pressures that could force more restrictive monetary policies. The trajectory
will largely
depend on governments ability to foster international cooperation, maintain stable trade
environments
and implement policies that support both short-term stability and long-term sustainable growth.

India
Indias economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in FY 2024-25, achieving a GDP
growth of 6.5%
despite global headwinds and domestic challenges. While this represented a four-year low
compared to the
previous years 9.2% growth, it maintained Indias position as the worlds fastest-growing
major economy.
The economy showed strong quarterly momentum, with Q4 FY25 recording an impressive 7.4%
growth,
the highest among all four quarters of the year. The services sector emerged as the
primary growth driver,
expanding at 8.3% and contributing 55.3% to total GVA, while manufacturing grew at a
modest 4.5% and
agriculture sector recorded 4.6% growth. Inflation remained well-controlled at 4.6% for
the full year, the
lowest since 2018-19, with March 2025 witnessing a further decline to 3.34% year-on-year.
The fiscal
deficit improved significantly to 4.8% of GDP from 5.6% in the previous year, while
foreign direct
investment inflows surged 14% to $81.04 billion, with the services sector attracting the
highest FDI equity
inflows.
Outlook
The outlook for Indias economy in FY 2025-26 remains cautiously optimistic, with
growth projections
ranging between 6.3% to 6.5% across various international agencies, positioning India to
continue as the
fastest-growing major economy globally. The Reserve Bank of India has adopted a supportive
monetary
stance, cutting the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5% in June 2025 and shifting to a
neutral policy stance
to maintain growth momentum amid global uncertainties. Key growth drivers include
resilient private
consumption, robust government infrastructure spending and strong services exports,
particularly in
technology and telecommunications where India ranks as the second-largest global exporter.
However,
challenges persist from global trade tensions, potential US tariff impacts on merchandise
exports and the
KEMI S
need for sustained private investment to complement government capital expenditure. The
governments
focus on fiscal consolidation, infrastructure development and structural reforms through
initiatives like
the Union Budget 2025s tax rationalization measures are expected to support medium-term
growth
prospects, while maintaining Indias trajectory toward becoming a $4 trillion economy and
achieving
developed nation status by 2047

E Risks and Opportunities
Higher energy costs due to higher coal and fuel costs is a significant risk to the
Companys business
performance. Other risks include pricing risk on account of capacity additions, higher
inflation and
recessionary pressure (both global and domestic) leading to demand slowdown, currency
devaluation,
and changes in the export sector or imports from global markets.
The Company continues to remain focussed on keeping the costs low, including variable
costs like fuel
through raw material securitisation, and continuous improvement programmes to help
mitigate the
adverse impact of these risks such as diversifying energy sourcing in addition to current
sources to
improve sourcing flexibility, working on changing fuel mix, maximising use of alternate
energy sources,
different contracting strategies and continuing with strategies like commodity hedging /
advance fixing
of prices. Execution of expansion project, adherence to more stringent environmental
norms, packaging
and improving safety performance in a sustainable manner are other key areas that the
Company
continues to focus on during FY 2024-25.
Excessive rains are resulting in dilution of brine, which is affecting captive solar
salt availability, leading
to rise
in cost of production as there is an increased need to purchase salt. Changes in
monsoon pattern may also
have adverse effect on the agrochemicals demand. Carbon emissions taxation will impact the
cost of
production. The Company is developing a holistic carbon abatement strategy at a corporate
level, which
will help in mitigating this risk.
In addition to enhanced ease of doing business, customer partnerships around themes of
innovation and
sustainability continue to offer opportunities for stronger customer connect. Increasing
value-added
products and sustainable supply chain practices like bulk material are some steps the
Company will
continue to focus on.
Using technology for digitalisation of the plants, and making processes smoother for
customers and
internal stakeholders is going to be crucial as the Company heads into a digital age.
Multiple projects
around plant and supply chain automation, as well as customer relationship management are
being
implemented.
H Opportunities for the growth of the lead recycling industry:
KEHI
The increasing demand for batteries from electric vehicles and energy storage systems
is anticipated to
augment market growth.
Lead is the only metal that can be recycled several times without having any
diminishing impact on its
quality. As a result, the production of secondary (recycled) lead is increasing over
primary, which is
anticipated to have a positive impact on market growth.
Recycling lead used in batteries improves the utilization of the metal, reduces
greenhouse gas emissions,
and conserves natural resources.
Recycling lead helps reduce the amount of toxic waste produced while also lowering the
demand for new
lead materials. This helps preserve natural resources and reduce the impact of lead
production on the
environment.
H Opportunities for e-waste:
Recycling and recovering: developing efficient recycling process can extract
valuable materials from
e-waste, reducing the need for raw materials and minimizing environmental impact.
Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR):implementing EPR holds manufacture
accountable for
the entire lifecycle of the product, from production to disposal which encourages
sustainable design and
responsible disposal practice.
Circular Economy Models: shifting towards a circular economy promotes product
reuse, refurbishment,
and recycling-minimizes waste and maximizes lifespan of the electronic devices.
Innovation in material design: research into eco-friendly materials for electronic
components can
reduce the environmental impact of e-waste.
H Challenges faced by the lead recycling industry:
Labour and supply chain challenges, exacerbated by the pandemic, have made it harder
for smaller
operators to keep up.
The global metal recycling industry is growing at an unprecedented rate due to factors
such as
urbanization, the spread of industrialization, concerns over resource depletion, and
environmental
awareness. However, this growth also brings challenges such as increased competition and
the need for
digitalization to improve efficiency.
Challenges for Li-ion Batteries
Absence of standardized procedures for collecting, transporting and recycling li-ion
batteries, Changing
environmental policies & battery waste management rules 2022 of the govt. bodies may
affect business
and capital cost Due to hazardous nature cross border transportation cost may be high
Recovery ratio of
precious metals is variable it may affect cost-benefit ratio.
Challenges for e-waste
Still only 17% of the worlds electronic waste is properly managed and recycled.
E-waste remains the
fastest growing solid waste stream globally and there is no slowdown in sight. Due to
number of
societal factors, including new and improved technologies being introduced faster than
ever, electronics
are becoming obsolete at a much faster rate than ever before. This results in
approximately 100
billion pounds of e-waste generated each year, a metric which is growing at a staggering
rate.
Despite the introduction of E-waste (Management) Rules in 2016, the enforcement and
implementation
on the ground remain inconsistent. The e-waste sector in India is estimated to be only
about 5%
organized, with The majority of e-waste still being handled by informal sectors that lack
the necessary
health, safety and environmental standards.
Compounding the challenge is the fact that less than10% of e-waste in India is
collectedand recycled by
formal recyclers.
The existing infrastructure for e-waste management is insufficient to handle thecountrys e-waste
output, which is growing at a very high rate.
Challenges and Barriers to Solar Panel Recycling
o Diverse materials: Solar panels are highly advanced and are manufactured using
various
materials like aluminum, steel, glass, silicon, and even rare metals and elements. Each of
them
may require different recycling methods, and improper recycling may result in losing these
valuable components.
o Hazardous components: Many solar panel products contain toxic materials such
as lead and
cadmium. Improper recycling may result in serious health risks and environmental
contamination.
o Lack of awareness: A significant challenge to consider is the fact that many
businesses and
consumers are still unaware of the importance, financial opportunities, and environmental
benefits of recycling solar panels. This can lead to difficulty in securing buy-ins and
commitments when attempting to recycle solar panels.
o Technological limitations: Recycling solar panels can be a technical
challenge. Efficient
separation of various components included in the solar panels, like glass, aluminum
frames,
silicon wafers, etc., can be challenging and require advanced technology. Not to mention,
the
recycling process may require specialized knowledge and expertise.
H DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES:
The most valuable resources are the employees of the Company hence the Company always
believes to
have balanced environment. When the Company strategize the different areas, healthy and
smooth
functioning goessimultaneously. Consistency in quality, efficiency and customer
satisfaction are always
prioritized above all bythe Company.
