WORKING REVIEW
Despite a challenging operating environment marked bygeopolitical tensions in Q4, the company has maintainedresilience through increase in domestic market share and strict
cost management. Increasing competition in the Gulf region anda reduction in the requirement of materials as a consequence oftroubled political and currency markets, regional tensions, andabove all the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and with its resultanthigh freight costs impacted our business, resulting in lower exportsales to that region. However, your company has increased itsexports to other parts of the World to soften the lower offtake inthe Gulf region and this diversified geographical spread augurswell for the future.
Overall, the Company has improved its topline resulting inan increase of 2.26% year-over-year growth in consolidatedsales, achieving revenue from operations of t 1810.22 Crores.The standalone revenues increased by 2.34% compared tothe previous year, achieving revenue from operations oft 1736.15 Crores.
