Consequently, the Equity Shares of the Company have been listed and traded on NSE effective from 23rd November, 2021 with the Designated Symbol “STEELCAS”

5. LONG TERM DEBT FREE: During the year under review, the Company has become long-term debt free as it has repaid all its term loans totaling to 22 Crores in FY22. Moreover, the Company has managed to incur a CAPEX to the tune of INR 29 Crores without any additional Term Loan.

6. COVID-19: The impact of Covid has been largely disruptive in terms of economic activity as well as loss of human lives. With most sectors adversely affected, the economy witnessed a contraction of 7.3% during 2020-21. Both the Central and State Governments came out with a series of responses to protect lives and livelihoods, improve healthcare facilities, ramp up vaccinations, and undertake measures for social protection. Economic reform packages were also announced to quickly bring the economy back to the growth path. As a result, we have seen a substantial improvement in GDP growth in 2021-22.

Major period of 1st quarter of the year was under restrictions due to second wave of COIVD-19. Recovery of business started in 2nd quarter onwards and the order book started building up thereafter. Due to this reason, we could achieve a much better result both in top and bottom line.

The performance of the company is expected to further improve with stabilized economic situation in India and across the globe. We expect this trend to continue at least in foreseeable future. Hence, the Company does not see any medium to long term risks in the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due.
