RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The financial year 2024-25 was marked by relative stability in raw material prices, particularly steel, which
enabled better cost control and predictability in project execution. The Company successfully leveraged this trend
by strengthening its procurement processes and refining its operational structure. A dedicated and streamlined
operations team ensured effective project delivery across both public and private sector clients, contributing to the
maintenance of healthy operating margins.

The Company recorded a stable Profit After Tax (PAT) margin of approximately 11.2%, despite a marginal decline
in total sales by about 8% YoY. This reflects the Company’s resilience, cost management capabilities and
disciplined project execution.

Over the past 24 years, samay projects Services Ltd. has consistently built a reputation as a reliable and capable
EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) contractor, delivering projects both in India and abroad

This long- standing industry credibility has translated into a strong and consistent of enquiries and pre- qualifications

The Indian thermal power sector is also witnessing a revival, with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)
securing orders worth 1,90,000 Crores in the past year, spurred by renewed government focus on power

infrastructure. Given Samay’s close working relationship with BHEL, this is expected to lead to new order wins
for the Company.

FUTURE PROSPECTS AND EXPANSION-

The Company remains optimistic about the future, backed by its strong order book and increasing project

pipeline. Efforts are underway to qualify for and bid on larger infrastructure projects, building on the
Company’s established credentials.

Two strategic sectors have been identified as growth drivers for the next five years:

1. CITY GAS DISTRIBUTION (CGD) PIPELINE CONTRACTING

india''s CGD infrastructure is undergoing a major transformation, with estimated investments of 1.2 to

1.5 lakh Crores expected over the next 7 years. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board

(PNGRB) has authorized over 230 geographical areas (GAs), covering 70% of India’s population and
50% of its area.

Over 90.000 km of steel pipelines and nearly 2 lakh km of MDPE pipelines are anticipated to be laid to
support the CGD network. Samay has already initiated its entry into this segment and expects the first
project order in May 2025. A dedicated team is being mobilized for execution and scaling of this vertical,
he Company projects a revenue potential of 100 Crores from this segment over the next five years.

2. BIOCNG / BIOMETHANE PROJECTS

India''s bioenergy market is poised for rapid growth, driven by programs such as SATAT (Sustainable
Alternative towards Affordable Transportation), GOBARdhan, and National Bioenergy Mission The
government aims to establish 5,000 CBG plants by 2028.

In alignment with these goals, the Company has signed a technology partnership agreement with a
German consultancy specializing in anaerobic digester systems. The Company plans to establish a pilot

DIRECTORS'' REPORT

BioCNG plant in Tamil Nadu, which will serve both as a revenue-generating asset and a demonstration
plant for business development.

These projects will be executed under BOOT, HAM, or EPC models, and Samay will explore various
equity participation structures depending on project size and partners. Over the next five years, the
BioCNG segment is projected to contribute around 100 Crores in revenue.

STRATEGIC LISTING INITIATIVE

To support its growth aspirations and provide the necessary capital for these expansions, the Company
has initiated the process of listing its securities on the NSE Emerge Exchange, the SME platform of the
National Stock Exchange. The Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) has been approved and the final
RHP is expected to be filed shortly.

This listing will enhance visibility, improve access to institutional investors, and provide financial
headroom for both organic and inorganic growth initiatives.

CONCLUSION

Samay Project Services Ltd. is entering FY 2025-26 with a clear strategic direction, a robust operational
backbone, and a renewed commitment to sustainable infrastructure. The diversification into CGD and
biofuels is not only aligned with national priorities but also opens up high-growth avenues to complement
the Company’s core EPC strength.

Book value of the share, stood at Rs. 15.01/- as on 31st March 2024 as compared to Rs.388.60/- as on 31st March 2023.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The steady state prices in the steel market with less volatility in the last financial year has helped the company in managing procurement costs better. Similarly, the Company has set up a good organizational structure in operations to manage the day-to-day operations of all projects. The Company has a good mix of both Private and Public Sector projects. All these factors have helped the company maintain the operating margins the last financial year. The company has a good backlog of orders to be executed in the year 2024-25. The good track record over the past 23 years has created a name for the Company as a trustworthy EPC Contractor with strong capability in executing engineering projects in India and Abroad. The Company has developed a strong enquiry stream as a result of the hard work for the past two decades.

FUTURE PROSPECTS AND EXPANSION:

The Company has a good order backlog giving revenue visibility for the FY 2024 -25. The Company is also bidding for larger projects as we are prequalified to bid for bigger infrastructure projects. The Company is executing a FGD project in Ramagundam on a turnkey basis which will enable the company to bid for similar FGD projects in future. As the thermal power projects are facing a downturn due to the big push for renewable energy, the Company is focusing on alternate green EPC segments such as Bio CNG, Green Hydrogen / Ammonia. The Company is tying up with a technology provider for BioCNG to promote EPC projects on a turn key basis in India. The Company is also planning to put up a BioCNG Plant in Tamil Nadu which will not only serve as a model plant for potential customers, but also diversify the revenue streams of the Company and derisk operations once completed.

In light of requirement of further funds for expansion of operations and business of the company, the company has proposal to list it securities in “The SME Exchange (Small and Medium Enterprises exchange)”. The company is dedicated in ensuring a smooth and optimal compliance process to obtain the necessary statutory approvals as required.
