Para B of schedule V of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 stipulates disclosure under specific heads which are given in the following paragraphs and which continue to be followed in the usual course of the Companys business over the years in discussions amongst the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and other Management Personnel.
(a) Industry Structure and Developments Food Processing
The Indian FMCG industry, the fourth-largest sector of the economy, is estimated at approximately Rs.6 lakh crore as of FY 2025 and is supported by a traditional retail network of nearly 13 million outlets (excluding Modern Trade). The sector comprises Food & Beverages (50%), Personal Care (30%), and Home Care (20%). Indias food processing industry is among the largest globally in terms of production, consumption, exports, and growth potential. Rising urbanisation, increasing disposable incomes, and changing consumer lifestyles, particularly the growing demand for processed and ready-to-eat foods, continue to drive industry growth.
Companys Market Presence
The Company has a strong presence across the entire Eastern region, along with operations in Northern India and select markets in Southern India. Backed by its expanding distribution network and favourable industry trends, the Company expects a substantial increase in turnover during the current financial year
Charcoal and Ferro Silicon
Ferro Silicon is a major input in the preparation of alloys and special steel. Its growth is linked to the development of iron and steel & stainless steel industry.
During the year there was a decrease in sale of Industrial products as compared to the preceding year owing to the exploration of various potential markets and aggressive planning / approach by the management.
(b) Opportunities and threats Food Processing
India has one of the largest working populations in the world. With increasing disposable incomes, this segment can be regarded as the biggest consumer of processed foods in the country. The Company has opened various Depot during the year and expanding its business base.
Gaps in the supply chain are perhaps the biggest challenge faced by this industry. Another big challenge is the distinct consumer preferences varying by each region. Competition from imports of non- standardized processed foods and ingredients remains a challenge. These complexities combined with change in consumption pattern and increased competition pose a major challenge for Food Processing Industry.
Charcoal and Ferro Silicon
There is always a demand for quality material and our endeavor has always been to maintain high standard. We enjoy a strong brand and extensive all India reach.
Market competition, erratic pricing and influx of imported material are the threats being faced by this division. Change in product mix has reduced the demand for Charcoal
(c) Segment-wise or Product-wise Performance
The Fruit Products Division recorded a modest growth in revenue during the year.
The performance of Industrial Division saw a decrease during the year, though it continued to contribute the major share of the Companys revenue.
(d) Outlook
Your Company will continue to be alert and responsive to adapt to the trends and forces shaping our markets to secure competitive growth in these rapidly evolving times. Managing margins through judicious pricing and sustained efficiencies and cost saving will receive constant attention.
(e) Risks & Concerns
The Company continues to operate in a dynamic business environment influenced by intense market competition, volatility in raw material prices, changing regulatory requirements, and evolving customer preferences.
Supply chain disruptions, logistics challenges, and the availability of lower-priced domestic and imported materials may impact costs and margins.
The Company remains focused on strengthening operational resilience through prudent cost management, efficient working capital utilization, and continuous improvements in its supply chain and digital capabilities.
These initiatives are aimed at mitigating risks, ensuring uninterrupted product availability, and creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
(f) Internal Control Systems & their Adequacy
The statutory requirements of the Audit Committee are being met. In meetings of the Audit Committee, the Statutory Auditors and Partners of Internal Audit Firms participate. Such Internal Auditors also periodically visit various divisions of the Company.
Activities of each sector are being programmed on a quarterly basis, which get translated into an Annual Activity Plan. Each departmental head is involved in the preparation of the activity plans and identifying and categorising the areas of risks, which are closely monitored. Such documentations thereafter undergo a further layer of scrutiny and implementation under direct superintendence of the Managing Director of the Company.
(g) Financial & Operational Performances
This has been adequately stated in the Directors Report.
(h) Material Developments in Human Resources Industrial Relations Front
Industrial Relations remained cordial throughout the year. Your Company strongly believes that its intrinsic strength lies in the quality of its pool of dedicated and motivated employees.
The total number of permanent employees in the payroll of the Company is 69.
The human impact of this crisis takes precedence for us. Our utmost priority has been health, safety and wellbeing of the employees. We have been proactive and swift in ensuring safe working conditions and maintaining strict standards.
