Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings decreased by Rs271.05 lakhs, from Rs352.95 lakhs in fiscal 2023 to Rs81.90 lakhs in fiscal 2024. This decline was primarily due to the company repaying loans from banks and financial institutions. Furthermore, during fiscal 2025, the remaining loan of Rs81.90 lakhs was fully repaid, reducing the short-term borrowings to NIL.
Trade Payables:
Trade payables decreased by Rs160.29 lakhs, from Rs178.45 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs18.16 lakhs in FY 2024. Furthermore, during FY 2025, trade payables declined further by Rs9.91 lakhs, reaching Rs8.25 lakhs. This continued decline is primarily attributable to the nature of the companys business, wherein procurement is typically carried out either on an advance payment basis or through payment at the time of delivery.
Other Current Liabilities
Other current liabilities decreased by Rs10.75 lakhs, from ^110.15 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs99.41 lakhs in FY 2024. This reduction was primarily due to a decrease in salary & wages payable by Rs38.42 lakhs and a decline in advances from custome Rs by Rs13.75 lakhs, partially offset by an increase in statutory dues payable by Rs41.67 lakhs.
In FY 2025, other current liabilities further declined by Rs45.93 lakhs, from Rs99.41 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs53.48 lakhs. This decrease was mainly driven by a reduction in statutory dues payable by Rs37.23 lakhs and salary & wages payable by Rs7.79 lakhs.
Short-term Provisions:
Short-term provisions increased by Rs66.74 lakhs, from Rs2.02 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs68.77 lakhs in FY 2024, primarily due to an increase in income tax provision amounting to Rs67.96 lakhs. In FY 2025, short-term provisions further increased by Rs21.29 lakhs, from Rs68.77 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs90.06 lakhs, mainly on account of a rise in income tax provision by Rs20.43 lakhs.
Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible Assets:
Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible Assets decreased by Rs65.94 lakhs, from Rs142.62 lakhs in FY 2023 to Rs76.68 lakhs in FY 2024. This decline was primarily due to depreciation of Rs72.44 lakhs, partially offset by additions to PPE amounting to Rs6.50 lakhs during the year.
In FY 2025, the balance further declined marginally by Rs0.85 lakhs, from Rs76.68 lakhs to Rs75.83 lakhs, mainly due to depreciation of Rs40.07 lakhs, which was largely offset by additions to PPE totaling Rs39.22 lakhs.

Other Non-Current Assets

Trade receivables:
Trade receivables decreased significantly by Rs185.31 lakhs, from Rs286.03 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 to Rs100.72 lakhs in Fiscal 2024, indicating improved collection efficiency or lower sales on credit. In Fiscal 2025, trade receivables increased slightly by Rs13.18 lakhs to ^113.90 lakhs, which may be attributed to a rise in credit sales in line with increased operational activity.
Short-term Loans & Advances:
Short-term loans and advances increased by Rs265.89 lakhs, from Rs700.09 lakhs in Fiscal 2023 to Rs965.98 lakhs in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in inter-corporate advances of Rs435.00 lakhs.
