2) State of affairs of the Company
a) Standalone: FY 25
In FY25, the Hi-Tech Agri segment recorded a marginal revenue decline of 3.6%,
reflecting the continued strategic reduction in project-based business. However, the
Company witnessed strong performance in the retail segment & especially in exports,
which contributed to a healthy EBITDA growth of 12.4% over the previous year. The EBITDA
margin of the Hi-Tech segment expanded to 18.7%, supported by an improved product mix,
cost optimisation and higher operational efficiency. The Tissue Culture business also
remained a strong and stable contributor to the segment.
The Plastic segment witnessed a decline of 26.2% in revenue, primarily due to prolonged
monsoon, muted retail demand and a general slowdown in the construction and agri-input
sectors. The EBITDA of this segment decreased by 35.9%, and the margin contracted to 9.5%.
However, international operations provided some stability amid domestic challenges.
Despite a 14.7% reduction in overall standalone revenue, the Company maintained strong
focus on liquidity and operating discipline, resulting in improved working capital
management and cash flow. The Company continues to pivot toward a more retail-centric and
export-oriented revenue model to reduce dependency on high working capital-intensive
project business. The total order book at the end of FY25 stood at '9,993 million,
comprising '4,018 million for Hi-Tech Agri Input Products, '3,561 million for Agro
Processing, and '2,414 million for Plastic Products. The Company remains committed to
further deleveraging, sustaining profitable growth, and driving its strategic transition
toward higher- margin segments.
b) Consolidated: FY 25
During FY25, the Company reported consolidated revenues of '57,793 million, a decline
of 6.0% over the previous year, mainly due to softness in domestic demand and conscious
downsizing of project-based business. Despite this, the consolidated EBITDA stood at
'7,168 million, translating to an EBITDA margin of 12.4%, reflecting efficient cost
management and stronger performance in key segments.
The Hi-Tech Agri segment showed resilience, with revenue declining only 3.6% while
EBITDA grew by 11.8% and margins expanded to 18.8%. The performance was driven by export
growth, better product mix and focused retail engagement. The Plastic segment recorded a
revenue decline of 17.5%, impacted by weak demand in the domestic market, while EBITDA
declined by 22.7%, with margins compressing to 10.5%. International operations, however,
remained stable.
The Agro Processing segment emerged as a strong performer, registering a revenue growth
of 7.9%, supported by robust exports and sustained contribution from European markets.
However, EBITDA declined by 18.7% due to increased raw material costs and subdued domestic
sales, resulting in margin contraction.
The consolidated order book as on 31st March, 2025 stood at '18,565 million, including
'4,018 million for Hi-Tech Agri Input Products, '11,736 million for Agro Processing, and
'2,811 million for Plastic Products. The Company continued its disciplined approach to
working capital management, which, along with focused deleveraging efforts, contributed to
improved operating cash flows.
The outlook for FY26 remains positive, with expectations of a normal monsoon, improved
rural sentiment, and enhanced government focus on agriculture and infrastructure. The
Company remains steadfast in its strategy to strengthen core segments, improve
profitability, and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.

PVC - Alloy Pipes
Polyvinyl chloride is formulated by adding various additives according to the end use
and application of the product that is produced. Depending on the chemical additive that
is incorporated, Polyvinyl chloride can be either flexible at room temperature or rigid.
For pressurised piping application one has to formulate the Polyvinyl chloride into a
rigid PVC pipe so that it can be in a position to sustain the pressure with which the
fluid or water is passing through it. The glass transition temperature of the Rigid PVC
pipe is above the room temperature making it brittle at room temperature. It is
susceptible to breakage when there is sudden impact beyond certain limits. This is
attributed to the brittleness of the PVC pipes. To overcome this aspect, a new recipe has
been formulated and developed to make the PVC pipes ductile at room temperature and can be
used for pressurised piping applications. These pipes with a new recipe which enables the
enhanced ductility at room temperature are known as PVC - Alloy pipes which have enhanced
ductility, durability making it more suitable for high end applications, offering
protection from poor installations, dangerous movements and weather conditions. PVC -
Alloy pipes has enhanced ductility and it withstands impact energy which is more than four
times that of conventional rigid PVC pipes. Because of this increased ductility it enables
the piping lines to be designed with a safety factor almost 1.75 to 2 times higher than
the conventional PVC pipes which means the design coefficient of the PVC - Alloy pipes is
less than that of the conventional PVC pipes. Hence the wall thickness and the weight of
the PVC - Alloy pipes are considerably less than that of the conventional Rigid PVC pipes
for the same pressure application which ultimately results in substantial saving of the
resources, energy and ultimately the product cost.
PVC - HI Pipes
Hydrogen gas is one of the clean and renewable energy sources and is more efficient
than most of the energy sources. It can be handled by current gas infrastructure,
especially the pipe line and both Polyethylene and Polyvinyl chloride pipings can be used
for transportation of hydrogen gas. ISO standard 6993 includes dry hydrogen as gaseous
fuels for the transportation using Polyvinyl chloride pipes. It has been proved thru
experiments & testing that the leakage of hydrogen gas thru PVC pipes are far less
than the limit allowed for natural gas. The requirement of impact energy for the Polyvinyl
chloride is higher by four times than the conventional PVC pipes and a special formulation
was developed to withstand such a rigorous impact test. The Polyvinyl - High impact pipes
are designed for supply of gaseous fuels such as hydrogen through buried pipelines having
an operating temperature range of 0 Deg. C up to and including 30 Deg. C with maximum
operating pressure of 1 bar pressure.
Apart from the high impact energy requirements, the product is also expected to have a
very good weathering resistance feature which is characterised by its ability to withstand
the solar radiation of 3.5 GJ/M2. The pipes exposed to 3.5 GJ/M2 have to withstand the
impact energy as prescribed in the International std 6993. A special recipe was developed
by incorporating additives for improving the impact strength and weathering property and
the recipe has been validated thru rigorous tests and the compliance to the standard
requirements has been verified.
