Post incorporation in 2003, the Company started manufacturing plastic moulded components. Thereafter, in 2014, the Company started focusing on the products business and commenced manufacturing air coolers. We set up an in - house tool room for our tool manufacturing business vertical in 2016 and thereafter started manufacturing semi - automatic washing machines in 2017. In 2018, we started manufacturing RAC IDUs and subsequently RACs ODUs in 2021. Additionally, in 2021, we commenced manufacturing FATL and subsequently LED TVs in 2022. Presently, our product portfolio includes complete RAC sets, washing machines, and televisions, all of which today contribute significantly to our revenue.
The Company has been manufacturing RAC IDUs since 2018 and RAC ODUs since 2021. We offer RACs CBU in the capacity ranging from 1.0T to 2.0T in both fixed speed and invertor categories for various star ratings.

The Company is an end - to - end solutions provider across the entire value chain of the products we supply to our customers. We serve across varied industries such as air conditioners, washing machines, LED TVs, air coolers, automotive components, bathroom fittings and consumer electronics.
Key business developments:
⢠The Company''s 100% subsidiary PG Technoplast Private Limited (PGTL), has in its Supa plant expanded the capacity to 100,000 Outdoor Units per month and over 150,000 Indoor Units per month during the financial year.
The RAC business clocked 255% growth over FY2022 and had H 1,04,127.31 lakh in Sales. The outlook for the segment remains robust as the Company plans to put new manufacturing plant for RAC manufacturing in North India and also work on improving the value addition further by adding more component manufacturing in-house.
⢠In FY2023, the Company commissioned its new Washing Machine (WM) manufacturing line in Greater Noida. The expanded capacity for Washing machines stands at 100,000 Units per month for SEMIAutomatic category. In FY2023, company supplied WM to 22 brands across customers and clocked over H 25,885.02/- lakh with 56% growth over FY2022. The outlook for the segment remains robust as company is seeing increased order flow from new and existing customers.
⢠In FY2023, Air Cooler business clocked sales of H 3,824.92/- lakh, which was just 157% growth over FY2022. In FY2022, sharp increases in plastic raw materials prices impacted the Air Cooler business significantly and therefore on low base sales growth looks exaggerated. However, the outlook remains good for next season as we continue to see improved interest from existing and new customers.
⢠On a consolidated basis, the Plastic moulding component segment had a YoY sales growth of about 17% and contributed H 65,410.75 lakh to the topline in FY2023. There are specific segments like specialised plastic components in Sanitaryware and Fans, which are growing at a higher rate and driving sales growth in this segment. The outlook for this segment remains in line with consumer durable industry growth. However, due to slightly inferior financial metrics (return ratios) in this business, management wants to allocate relatively low capital to this, and therefore growth rates will be muted in comparison to the product business of the Company.
⢠In the Electronics division, the Company assembles printed circuit board assemblies for a wide range of applications on a turnkey basis (including
procurement, assembly, testing, packing & shipping) for leading TV manufacturers and also assembles LED TVs. This business contributed 7% to the FY2023 Sales and grew 126% over last year.
⢠During FY2023, the tooling business contributed ~0.5% to the Company''s total turnover. This business also acts as an enabler for some of the Company''s speciality plastic moulding businesses. In last few years, company has upgraded some of the capabilities of its toolroom and can now manufacture bigger tools. This has, in turn, helped the Company''s ODM Projects turn around faster as it can manufacture critical tools internally. The Company is planning further investments to augment capabilities and capacities in this area. The outlook for the business remains sound, given that as more product development happens locally, opportunities for tool manufacturing should grow exponentially.
All our businesses segments have performed well in FY23, particularly the company''s current focus area -the products business that achieved 182% growth over FY2022.
Capital Expenditure Activities:
During the year, the company on a consolidated basis has incurred H 15,456.60/- lakh on capital expenditure primarily for the purchase of plant and equipment. Further, the Company allocated higher capital expenditure for certain identified eligible white good products such as control assemblies for IDU or ODU or remotes, plastic moulding components, sheet metal components, heat exchangers, cross flow fan, and display panels (LCD / LED) and towards our R&D to meet our customer requirements to sustain or enhance our existing products and to develop new technologies and processes that would better allow us to customize products for our clients. Also, the Company has invested in the construction of new building/floors which has increased the covered area.
