The revenue for the segment in the FY 2024-25 was Rs. 43,835.43 Lakhs the revenue of Rs. 39,039.81 Lakhs in
FY 2023-24.
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2024-25 was Rs. 15,441.20 Lakhs over the revenue of Rs 10,703.89 Lakhs
in FY 2023-24.
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2024-25 was Rs. 9666.99 Lakhs up over the revenue of Rs. 7865.91 Lakhs
of FY 2023-24.
The Aluminium Powders division delivered strong revenue growth of 25% year-on-year in Q4FY25 and 12% for
the full year FY25, outperforming industry benchmarks and reflecting healthy demand.
However, demand has been subdued in Q1FY26, particularly from the explosives segment. Export volumes have
also declined due to the economic slowdown in Europe. Considering the current market conditions and the impact
of the recent fire incident (note below), we anticipate single-digit growth for the Powder division in FY26.
The Phase III capacity expansion of2,500 MTPA (Pyro and Flake) has been partially commissioned and is expected
to be fully operational by the end of Q2FY26.
The Foil segment delivered exceptional revenue growth of 89% year-on-year in Q4FY25 and 44% for the full year
FY25, driven by strong demand across all product categories and consistent supply of foil stock from Hindalco,
our key supplier.
Our brand, MMP, continues to gain strong traction among foil customers, reinforcing our position as a preferred
vendor across diverse customer segments.
Margins have improved, supported by robust demand and the recent withdrawal of export incentives by the Chinese
Government, which has increased the cost of imports and benefited domestic producers.
The Aluminium Conductor and Cables division recorded strong revenue growth of 39% year-on-year in Q4FY25
and 23% for the full year FY25, driven by sustained demand in the segment.
We expect this positive momentum to continue in FY26 with further improved margins.

The overall performance of the respective division/s of the Company during the FY 2023-24 are provided hereunder: -
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2023-24 was Rs. 39,039.81 Lakhs, up 2% over the revenue of Rs. 38,278.08 Lakhs in FY 2022-23.
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2023-24 was Rs. 10,703.89 Lakhs over the revenue of Rs 11,276.34 Lakhs in FY 2022-23.
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2023-24 was Rs. 7865.91 Lakhs up over the revenue of Rs. 4043.29 Lakhs of FY 2022-23.
Aluminium powders witnessed an impressive quantum growth of 10.7%, surpassing industry benchmarks, signalling robust demand. However, despite this remarkable volume surge, revenue growth in this segment faced some challenges due to persistently low aluminium prices throughout the year. Looking ahead, we anticipate a rebound in FY25 with a projected revenue growth of 13-15%, indicating a positive outlook.
Phase I capacity expansion of 1500 MTPA (pyro & flake) has been commissioned in Q3 FY 2024. Phase II Capacity expansion of 1800 MTPA (pyro & flake) has been commissioned in Q1 FY 2025. The Phase I and Phase II capacities of 3300 MTPA (pyro & flake) will generate full revenue from Q2 FY 2025 onwards. This will further strengthen our position in the market and enable extra exports also.
To cater to the anticipated escalating demand of our products, Phase III capacity addition of 2500 MTPA (pyro & flake) has been undertaken and will be completed in Q4 FY 2025. This will be majorly financed by internal accruals.
Once Phase III is commissioned, the total pyro & flake capacity will be 16800 MTPA.
The Aluminium Conductor and Cables division demonstrated outstanding performance, achieving a remarkable quantum growth of 95.2% coupled with a strong revenue growth of 94.5%. This segment thrived on the back of robust demand and enhanced margins, emerging as a substantial contributor to our overall success.
We anticipate sustaining this momentum in FY25 with an expected revenue growth of 35-40%. The expansion of our cable making capacity (1200 MTPA), combined with the buoyant conductor market growth, are poised to be pivotal drivers propelling this anticipated revenue surge, further solidifying our position in the industry.
The Aluminium Foil segment encountered significant challenges, grappling with the influx of cheaper imports from China, decreased demand from pharmaceutical firms, and heightened competition from emerging players in the Indian market.
Despite these obstacles, we anticipate a notable turnaround in FY2024-25, with an expected revenue growth of 23-25%. This optimistic projection is underpinned by anticipated improvements in sales realization, enhanced capacity utilization, and a diversified portfolio of products already developed. Moreover, the industry is cautiously optimistic about the potential imposition of anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports by the third quarter of FY2025, a move that is expected to provide much-needed support to all Indian Foil Manufacturers, further bolstering the growth trajectory of the sector.

1.4 MAJOR EVENTS OCCURRED DURING THE YEAR a) STATE OF COMPANYâS AFFAIRS
The overall performance of the respective division/s of the Company during the FY 2022-23 are provided hereunder: -
The revenue for the segment in the FY 2022-23 was Rs. 38,243.79 Lakhs (up 10% over the revenue of Rs. 34,669.83 Lakhs in FY 2021-22.

The revenue for the segment in the FY 2022-23 was Rs. 4043.29 Lakhs up over the revenue of Rs. 1868.23 Lakhs of FY 2021-22.
FUTURE PLANS / PROSPECTS:-(A) ALUMINIUM POWDERS
The market for all segments remains positive and robust. Revenue growth of 10-12%(in line with construction, mining/infra and agriculture growth) is expected during FY 24. This growth could well be exceeded as infra expenditure increases in the pre election year as well as the governmentâs target of 1 billion tons coal mining in this year.
The new capacity of 1500 MTPA of pyro and flake powders is expected to be fully commissioned in early H2 and expect full utilisation by Q4 FY24.
A new investment for producing high margin export grades of leafing powders and pellets is currently under implementation and expected to be commissioned in Q4 FY24.This market segment is also growing well in the domestic market.
The uptick in exports is likely to be maintained with 20% growth. Our trusted and valued collaborator AVL Metal Powders, Belgium have recently expressed their interest in assisting in the development of special powder grades which they want us to produce. This is a new opportunity which is likely to open up during H2 FY24. In anticipation, the company has already planned to install another pyro and flake capacity of 1800 MTPA as a preparation for FY 2024-25.
The commissioning of new rolling mill from mid Q2 will result in addition of new product portfolio (SRC, Lidding and glassine paper). This will also more than double the capacity, bringing in economies of scale.
Indiaâs two biggest pharma companies viz Sun Pharma and Aurobindo Pharma have already started sales in a small way and we expect a long term strategic cooperation in the coming months for sustained bulk business. This will result in utilisation of large part of conversion and value added printing capacity and realise our vision of becoming the preferred vendor to major pharma.

The implementation/s of setting up of a new facility for manufacturing of Atomised Aluminium Powder, Pyro and Flake Aluminium Powder and Aluminium Foils at Umred MIDC Area, are as per schedule and plan/s as provided in the Objects of the Offer Document (Prospectus) of the Company.
After completion of allotment of industrial land at Umred MIDC Area, close to Nagpur city in the State of Maharashtra, the land development work (cutting, filling, and compaction) is in full swing. The electricity (temporary) connection from MSEDCL required for construction activities has been charged and temporary office and allied facilities for site management have been set up. The contract for site development, civil work, roads and water drains has been released.
The orders for major machineries (2 nos. furnaces for atomized powders and 6 nos. of ball mills for pyro and flake powders) have been released by the Company.
The application for consent to establish has been made to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). The civil and structural designs of various factory buildings have been finalized and the Request for Quotation (RFQ''s) for the Pre-engineered Buildings have been released.
ALUMINIUM POWDERS
The growth of low cost and urban housing is expected to be above the GDP growth with the Government''s objective of housing for all by 2022. As such, the Aluminium powder usage in AAC blocks is likely to be strong and grow at 12 to 15% with more and more factories starting production and stabilizing operations. Your Company is making efforts to export this product in South East and it is expected that after the initial customer resistance, a breakthrough is possible in this vast market potential. With this in view, an additional capacity is planned to be added in the next 12 to 15 months for Aluminium powders for AAC at the new manufacturing facilities at Umred - MIDC Area.
In line with the mining growth of 10 to 12%, the usage of Aluminium powders for the slurry explosives will continue to grow and your Company''s strong market share will be further consolidated. Aluminium powders usage in other user segments like pesticides, defence applications and exothermic applications are continuing to grow well.
The sale of Atomized powder to the Associate Company (TMI) will be ramped up specifically with your Company setting up an additional capacity for Atomized Powders at the new manufacturing facilities in Umred - MIDC Area.
FUTURE PLANS FOR ALUMINIUM POWDERS
Recently, your Company has been listed on the NSE Emerge and a significant part of the IPO proceeds will be utilized in enhancing the capacity of Atomized powders as well as Pyro & Flake powders. For that purpose, your Company has allotted MIDC land at Umred (60 KM from Nagpur) and plant design, building and civil infrastructure at this greenfield site is now under process. Subject to receipt of approval/s from the Government as per our estimates, we expect partial capacities to be operational for trials during the Fourth Quarter (Q-4) of the FY 2018-2019.
ALUMINUM PASTE
With the transfer of production capacity to TMI for Aluminium pastes, your Company will largely focus on promotion of leafing powders for the ink and plastic industries. This has a decent export potential and a growing domestic market. The Aluminium paste capacity will also act as an additional capacity support to TMI in times of heavy demand.
ALUMINIUM CONDUCTORS
Your Company has plans to meet the requirements of Power Grid Corporation of India in the FY 2018-2019 and open up a new potential for its Aluminium conductors. The present local demand with private contractors is satisfactory but growth is hindered because of delay in payments by the electrical distribution companies to the private contractors. However, the Government rates and payment terms with private contractors are expected to be resolved and the second half of the FY 2018-2019 will see demand uptick. It is expected that Aluminium conductor revenue will rise by 20 to 25% over the FY 2017-2018.
