The State of the Companys Affairs

During the year, your Company has earned Gross Income of $66.19 lakhs and net profit of $285.20 lakhs which includes sale proceeds of Land.

As communicated to the Members at the time of the earlier Annual General Meetings after the compulsory acquisition of the major portion of the lands owned by the Company at Chandanada Village, Nakkapalli Mandal, Anakapalli District, Andhra Pradesh by the Government of Andhra Pradesh through the Andhra Pradesh Industrial & Infrastructure Corporation Limited under the provisions of The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013 the Company at the beginning of the FY 2025-26 was left with around 10.97 acres of undisputed land and 22.57 acres of lands where there are certain issues and which are difficult to be resolved.

As the aforesaid lands owned by the company are in fragments of 5 to 6 parcels and are unviable for any active usage, the Company had sought the approval of the members of the Company for disposing off the aforesaid land parcels which have been remaining idle quite for sometime and which was accorded by the members at the AGM held on 30th September 2023.

After making considerable efforts, the Company has successfully sold the balance land of 10.97 acres. The amount recognised under Exceptional Items represents the profit earned by the Company from the sale of the land.
