This Report forms part of the compliance report on Corporate Governance.

Business of the Company:

Ravileela Granites was founded in 1990 with a simple idea that the world deserved nothing less than the best Granites that is available in the mines around the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and over the period, Company has gained recognition for its dedication to producing top-tier granite products.

The Company has recognized the global demand for high-quality granite and has expanded its operations beyond US to the European market establishing a strong presence in Central and Eastern Europe. This strategic move has solidified its position as a global player.

A. Economic Overview

Executive summary

Over the last three years the Company has deliberately rebalanced exports toward Europe, building direct distributor relationships and project pipelines. As a result, the recent U.S. tariff shock has only a minimal direct impact on our order book and pricing, while our European exposure benefits from stable construction activity and easing freight costs.

Global Macro Environment:

Growth: The IMFs latest update projects global GDP growth around ~3.0% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, with risks from trade frictions and uneven disinflation.

Trade policy: In August 2025, the U.S. raised tariffs to as high as 50% on Indian goods in retaliation for Indias Russian oil purchases; analysts estimate the effective average could be lower owing to exemptions, but the headline rate is disruptive for labour-intensive exports.

Freight & logistics: Ocean rates have been normalizing. Drewrys World Container Index fell to ~$2,119/FEU (28 Aug 2025) after sequential declines, improving cost visibility for exporters. Bulk indicators like the Baltic Dry Index have also eased in early September.

Implications for Ravileela

Moderate global growth plus lower container spot rates support our delivery reliability and margin recovery.

Over three decades, the Company has built a strong reputation for quality, precision, and international standards, serving a loyal customer base across multiple geographies.

Future Outlook

As Ravileela enters its fourth decade in the industry, it remains poised for accelerated growth, supported by strong domestic and global demand. Furthermore, manufacturers are prioritizing quality and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of export markets. However, challenges arise from persistent inflation in several countries, and elevated freight costs. Additionally, escalating geopolitical tensions have the potential to disrupt the supply chain in the future and may adversely impact exports.

Ravileela Granites journey as a premium processor of granite for three decades exemplifies its commitment to quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. It stands as a testament to the companys enduring legacy in the Indian granite industry.

In the longer term, the Indian granites industry is poised to emerge as a global hub, leveraging its manufacturing prowess, skilled and adaptable workforce and cost advantages. With a strong focus on technology, product assortment, innovation and quality, we stand in a good position to emerge as a leader in the lucrative exports market.

Base case (next 12–18 months)

Demand: Stable to modest growth in European Union (EU) architectural stone as construction normalizes; U.S. volumes choppy but premium segments remain addressable.

Pricing: Natural stone prices are broadly steady; selective price increases are possible where engineered-stone alternatives face restrictions.

Costs: Freight favorable vs. 2023 peaks; continue to contract index-linked or fixed-window ocean rates.

Performance during the year:

During the financial year ended on 31st March 2025, the Companys total income increased by from Rs. 3,393.29 Lakhs in the previous financial year to Rs. 4,246.65 lakhs. The total net loss incurred by the Company during the financial year was Rs. 375.12 Lakhs.

FY 2024-25 was a year of gradual recovery for the Company. Despite challenges in logistics and fluctuations in freight costs, the Company demonstrated resilience in managing operational efficiencies. The ongoing global supply chain disruptions slightly impacted delivery timelines, but strategic planning mitigated the overall effect on revenue.

Exports continue to be the major contributor to the Companys revenue, accounting for over 98% of total income. The Company exports to more than 5 countries, enabling diversification of market risks. The demand for certain unique shades of granite from India remains strong and relatively inelastic, providing a competitive edge in global markets.

The Company remains focused on expanding its export portfolio and gradually increasing its footprint in the domestic market. Efforts to optimize production and cost efficiencies are expected to further strengthen the Companys performance in the coming years.

Opportunities and Threats:

Ravileela Granites has established itself as a prominent player in the international granite industry, boasting an impressive three-decade ++ track record of excellence in processing and delivering premium granite products. Over the years, the company has consistently upheld its commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability, earning a commendable reputation both domestically and on the global stage. The upcoming year holds abundant opportunities for the granites benefiting both the Company and the Industry as a whole.

Moreover, ongoing urbanization in India will continue to spur demand for residential and commercial construction, consequently increasing the need for building materials.

Opportunities include the following:

Growing Demand in Emerging Markets: The rapid urbanization and infrastructure development in emerging economies, particularly in Asia and Africa, present substantial growth opportunities for granite producers.

Expansion in Renovation and Remodeling Sectors: In developed markets like the US and Europe, there is a growing trend toward home renovation and remodeling, which drives demand for granite countertops, flooring, and decorative applications.

Sustainability: With increasing global awareness of environmental impact, there is a rising demand for ethically sourced and sustainable granite products, providing an opportunity for companies that can meet these standards.

• Monument/heritage, sustainability, engineered stone substitutions

Some of the threats are as follows:

• Competition from Alternative Materials: Engineered stones, such as quartz, and other synthetic materials are gaining popularity due to their consistency, availability in a range of colors, and lower maintenance, posing a threat to natural granite.

• Economic and Political Uncertainties: Fluctuations in global economic conditions, along with geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions, can significantly impact demand and profitability, especially for export-dependent producers.

• Environmental Regulations: Stricter environmental regulations and the need for compliance with international standards can increase operational costs and require substantial investment in sustainable practices.

• Tariffs, labor cost inflation, synthetic competition, logistics, regulatory are some of the threats.

Risks and Concerns:

Risks are an inherent part of business which cannot be avoided but its robust identification and management can overcome its effects.

The Company has in place a designated Risk Management policy which is designed to overcome adverse industry fluctuations to successfully flourish the business at a reputable pace. The Company provides updates on risk management to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on a regular basis.

A comprehensive and integrated risk management framework forms the basis of all the de-risking efforts of the Company. Formal reporting and control mechanisms ensure timely information availability and facilitate vigilant and in-time risk management.

The following are the inherent risks associated with the business of the Company:

• Market Volatility: The granite industry is susceptible to fluctuations in demand due to economic downturns, particularly in key export markets.

• Supply Chain Disruptions: The industrys reliance on global supply chains makes it vulnerable to disruptions caused by geopolitical events, natural disasters, or pandemics.

• Environmental Impact: The environmental impact of quarrying and processing poses a risk, especially with increasing global scrutiny and regulatory pressures. Failure to adopt sustainable practices can lead to reputational damage and financial penalties.

• Currency Fluctuations: As a major exporter, the Indian granite industry is exposed to risks from currency fluctuations, which can affect profitability

• Competitive landscape: There exists a lot of competition in the granites industry and to ensure survival in this competitive market, the Company developed strategies to maintain market share in the market.

• The scarcity of skilled manpower is a common challenge in the manufacturing sector. Company recognizes the importance of a skilled workforce for efficient production and quality control. The company invests in training, talent development, and retention strategies to address this constraint.

Segment Wise Performance:

As the Company is dealing in only one product, the same is not applicable.

Internal Control systems & adequacy:

To manage the risks associated with the granite industry, robust internal control systems are essential. These controls include strict compliance with environmental regulations, regular audits of quarrying and processing operations, and continuous monitoring of market trends and customer preferences. Adequate financial controls ensure that the company remains profitable and can withstand market fluctuations. Additionally, implementing advanced technology systems for inventory and supply chain management can help in optimizing operations and reducing costs

Discussion on Financial Performance with Respect to Operational Performance:

The financial performance of companies in the granite industry is closely tied to their operational efficiency and market positioning. Companies that have invested in modern technologies and sustainable practices tend to perform better financially due to higher product quality, lower operational costs, and increased market demand for sustainable products. Moreover, maintaining a diverse product portfolio and exploring new markets can mitigate risks and contribute to stable revenue growth.

In recent years, companies that have focused on expanding their export markets, particularly in North America and Europe, have seen higher profit margins due to the premium prices these markets command. However, the cost of compliance with environmental regulations and the investment required for technology upgrades can impact short-term profitability, although these are essential for long-term sustainability and competitiveness.

In conclusion, while the granite industry faces several challenges, companies that adopt a proactive approach in managing risks, embracing innovation, and focusing on sustainability are well-positioned to achieve strong financial performance and operational success in the global market.

Outlook:

The outlook for the granite industry remains positive, with expected steady growth driven by ongoing urbanization, infrastructure development, and a robust remodeling market in developed economies. However, industry must navigate challenges related to competition from alternative materials and the need for sustainable practices. Advancements in technology and a focus on innovation will be crucial for maintaining competitiveness and meeting evolving consumer preferences.

Ravileela is positioned to leverage its global market access, reputation for quality, and diversified product mix. With a growing presence in Europe and steady demand from Asia, the Company remains confident of sustained growth in FY 2025-26, while continuing to monitor macro-economic and trade-related risks
