The Company's profitability also improved by a very healthy 61.50% with profit after tax of Rs. 228.67 lakhs as compared to profit of Rs.141.59 Lakhs.

For further sustained profitable growth your Company is constantly working on introducing new products and increasing sales with Modern Trade, Canteen Stores Department as well as Tie II and Tier III cities in Maharashtra. Adequate investment in supply chain is being made commensurate with the increased sales. The pride which the Company feels in partnering with and supporting the Indian Defence forces cannot be emphasized enough.

The Company's trading activities in chemicals and minerals are being revitalized with induction of additional technical personnel in the belts having a concentration of foundry and steel industries. Besides the Company's management is also attending major international exhibitions to have tie-ups with reputed international Companies for sales in India. Sales from chemicals and mineral trading have grown by more than 100% in FY 2022-23 relative to FY 2021-22. Further growth initiatives are being actively pursued for this business area.

Your Directors are happy to report that the detailed project report for both the Mahad Agro Processing and Data Centre Projects have been finalised and that the Mahad Agro Processing Project has been accorded "Mega Project" status by the Government of Maharashtra.

Your Company is presently in active discussion with various Merchant Bankers and Financial Institutions to secure the necessary funds for execution of the Mahad and Dombivli projects. Your Directors are positively confident about achieving success in this endeavour.

It is pertinent to emphasize that the Mahad Agro Processing Project will present significant Social and Environmental benefits to the Nation along with major direct and ancillary employment opportunities. Some of the products that will be produced at Mahad have critical application in the Pharmaceutical and Food segment. The products from Mahad will also be aligned with the Government's focus on creating adequate sources for Green Renewable Energy.

The proposed Data Centre at Dombivli will be an enabler of Digital Infrastructure. Looking at the exponential growth of Data consumption across India and the rapid Digitisation of various processes and interactions at multiple levels ranging from G2C, B2B and B2C it is estimated that the demand for Data Centres is going to continue seeing very significant growth for the foreseeable future. Dombivli's close proximity to the existing Data Centre hubs of Mahape / Navi Mumbai and its road infrastructure seeing significant investment with projects like the "Airoli-Katai Expressway" and "Mothagaon-Mankoli Bridge" the attractiveness of Dombivli as a Data Centre location is very apparent.

An official announcement on the Mahad and Dombivli projects execution will be made once we have achieved financial closure.

India is confidently striding towards being a 10 Trillion US$ economy of the next 10 years. With this GDP growth the demand for your Company's products and services is going to see a major upswing during this period.
