FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The equity market in India witnessed a period of high volatility in the second half of the year. There was a dramatic fall in valuation triggered by developments across the globe. Towards the start of the second half the US Treasury announced changes to their interest rate policy which led to largescale selling by Foreign Portfolio Investors. This was followed by an escalation of hostilities in middle east that increased the fears of a widespread war. In addition to these global factors, fears of a deceleration in domestic growth coupled with high valuations in domestic markets led to a broad-based fall in the Indian equity markets resulting in Nifty 50 falling by nearly 9% during this period. For the full year FY 2024-25 Nifty 50 returns were only around 5% vis-a-vis around 28% for FY 2023-24.

Total Income:

On a standalone basis, the total income for FY 2024-25 was Rs. 4,619.45 lakhs, which was marginally lower than Rs. 4,747.96 lakhs in the previous year. While the dividend income increased, lower gain on fair value changes of mutual funds, and other investments of Rs. 784.64 lakhs as compared to Rs. 2,288.84 lakhs in the previous year resulted in decline in total income.

On a consolidated basis, the total income for FY 2024-25 was Rs. 11,902.94 lakhs as compared to Rs. 10,223.92 lakhs in the previous year, mainly due to higher dividend income of Rs. 9,900.45 lakhs for the current year as compared to Rs. 5,512.20 lakhs in the previous year. However, the gain on fair value changes of mutual funds and other investments of Rs. 1,685.21 lakhs for the current year was lower than Rs. 4,455.22 lakhs in the previous year.

Expenses:

On a standalone basis, the total expenses for FY 2024- 25 at Rs. 279.00 lakhs were marginally higher as compared to Rs. 253.34 lakhs for the previous year. The increase was mainly due to increase in employee costs and other operating costs which were largely along expected lines. On consolidated basis, the total expenses for FY 2024-25 were Rs. 473.61 lakhs as compared to Rs. 387.30 lakhs for the previous year mainly due to increase in employee benefit expenses costs and other operating costs. Profit After Tax: Standalone Profit after Tax for FY 2024-25 was Rs. 3070.13 lakhs as compared to Rs. 3,512.11 lakhs during the previous year, mainly due to lower income.

Consolidated Profit after Tax for FY 2024-25 was Rs. 6859.57 lakhs as compared to Rs. 7,573.02 lakhs during the previous year, mainly due to lower income.

Amounts proposed to be carried to reserves:

An amount of Rs. 614.03 lakhs has been transferred to Special Reserve in standalone financial statements as per the statutory requirements. The Company has not transferred any amount to General Reserves during the year.

DIVIDEND:
