GLOBAL PANDEMIC - COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its fourth year, surveillance has declined dramatically. In most countries, life has returned to "normal". Still, millions continue to be infected or reinfected with SARS-CoV-2, and many questions remain about the potential emergence of new variants that could cause fresh surges. As many countries adjust their emergency response, absorbing COVID-19-related actions into integrated respiratory disease management, there is an opportunity to strengthen the public health foundation for future epidemic and pandemic response efforts. Going forward, India will have to prioritize economic expansion and sustainability to maintain its trajectory of growth and influence. The country must continue to embrace transformational, rather than incremental change to shape an economic policy that supports rapid growth.

Evaluation of the functioning of Board Committees is based on discussions amongst Committee members and shared by the respective Committee Chairman with the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, who in turn shares the consolidated report with the Chairman of the Board for his review and gives feedback to each Director. Individual Directors are evaluated in the context of the role played by each Director as a member of the Board at its meetings, in assisting the Board in realising its role of strategic supervision of the functioning of the Company in pursuit of its purpose and goals. While the Board evaluated its performance against the

parameters laid down by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the evaluation of individual Directors was carried out against the laid down parameters, anonymously in order to ensure objectivity. Reports on the functioning of Committees were placed before the Board by the Committee Chairmen.

NEW UNIT

The company had envisioned a state-of-the-art project called the Advanced Manufacturing & Technology Centre, (AMTC) in Lucknow, India to house the most advanced component manufacturing technologies and infrastructure in the world. This facility has been set up in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and shall manufacture products for super-critical applications like Aerospace, Power Plants, Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing and Medical Implants.

The technologies and facilities available in this plant has created an indigenous capability for manufacture of high precision components with unparalleled quality, consistency and reliability for super-critical applications. For the first time ever, Titanium Casting technology and manufacturing capability is being brought to India within this facility. The unit shall provide import substitution for key components and pave the way for a new era of best-in-class-manufacturing in the country.

This facility houses 20 unique advanced technologies in metal component manufacturing under a single roof making it the most advanced manufacturing facility in the world in this segment. Apart from exhibiting PTC''s trademarked indigenously developed technologies like RapidCast™,

PrintCast™, forgeCast™, Powderforge™ and TiCast™, the new unit has also created direct employment opportunities for over 500 people and indirect employment for even a greater number. This facility shall also help in the training and development of skills of the employees on advanced equipment, robots, CNC machines, automation and best-in-class technologies with the help of technology partners, machine manufacturers and vendors across the world from countries like the United Kingdom, USA, Germany, Japan etc. In the previous year, the Company had submitted a proposal amounting to Rs. 51 Crores to the Department of Heavy Industries, Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Government of India for acquisition and customisation of Technology for Development & Commercialisation of Titanium Castings with Ceramic Shelling under the Technology Acquisition Fund Programme (TAFP). The department has committed partial support as a grant of Rs. 10 Crores out of a total cost of Rs. 51 crores for a project duration of four years from the date of signing of MoU with Global Innovation and Technology Alliance (GITA).
