INDIAN ECONOMY AND INDUSTRY AT A GLANCE
The year 2020 threw at the world a bedlam of novel COVID-19 virus, threatening all that
was taken for granted -mobility, safety, and a normal life itself. This, in turn, posed
the most formidable economic challenge to India and to the world in a century. Bereft of a
cure or a vaccine, public health policy became central to tackling this all-pervasive
crisis. The imperative of flattening the disease curve was entwined with the livelihood
cost of an imminent recession, which emanated from the restrictions in economic activities
from the lockdown required to contain the pandemic. This inherent trade-off led to the
policy dilemma of "lives versus livelihoods."
Governments and central banks across the world deployed a range of policy tools to
support their economies such as lowering key policy rates, quantitative easing measures,
loan guarantees, cash transfers and fiscal stimulus measures. India recognized the
disruptive impact of the pandemic and charted its own unique path amidst dismal
projections by several international institutions of the spread in the country given its
huge population, high population density and an overburdened health infrastructure.
The year 2020 witnessed unrivalled turmoil with the novel COVID-19 virus and the
resultant pandemic emerging as the biggest threat to economic growth in a century. The
World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a 'Public Health Emergency of
International Concern' (PHEIC) on 30th January, 2020 and advised that all countries should
be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and
case management, contact tracing, and prevention of onward spread. The exponential rise in
the number of daily cases compelled the WHO to title this outbreak a pandemic on 11th
March, 2020 - within a period of three months of its emergence. The contagion is still
spreading with over 10 crore confirmed cases around the globe and over 2 lakh deaths. The
ensuing shock has been extremely unconventional in terms of its size and uncertainty, with
its impact dependent on unpredictable factors like intensity of lockdowns, extent of
supply chain and financial market disruptions alongside societal response to the
associated public health measures. The pandemic has been unique in its wide-ranging
effects on almost every section of the economy and the society.
The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its contribution to
world food trade every year due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly
within the food processing industry. The Indian food and grocery market is the world's
sixth largest, with retail contributing 70 per cent of the sales.
OPERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW
During the year under review, your Company manufactured 38,109.20 MT of flour (Atta,
Maida, Suji, Bran, and Wheat) as against 33,181.94 MT in previous Financial Year.
Similarly, your Company has been able to achieve sales volume of 37,444.69 MT of flour
(Atta, Maida, Suji, Bran) as against 32,910.19 MT in previous Financial Year.
PRODUCTION AND COST DEVELOPMENTS
During the year under review, your company has been pursing with bulk consumers like
biscuit, noodles and bakery segments to make contract agreements. However, we are hopeful
of positive result in the next financial year. This will enable us to ramp up production.
Logistics is becoming a major cost factor and we have to constantly change our strategy to
minimize this cost.
OUTLOOK
In the coming years, India is expected to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling farm
income by 2022. Increased investment activities such as irrigation facilities, warehousing
and cold storage in agricultural infrastructure are likely to generate better momentum.
Furthermore, the growing use of genetically modified crops will likely improve the yield
for Indian farmers.
Going forward, the adoption of food safety and quality assurance mechanisms such as
Total Quality Management (TQM) including ISO 9000, ISO 22000, Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Hygienic Practices
(GHP) by the food processing industry will offer several benefits
SHARE CAPITAL
The paid up Equity Capital as on March 31, 2021 was Rs. 5,93,26,000/-. During the year
under review, the Company has neither issued any shares with differential voting rights
nor granted stock options or sweat equity shares.
