OVERVIEW
India reaffirmed its position as the world's fastest-growing majoreconomy in FY25, sustaining robust growth despite persistentglobal headwinds. The momentum was fueled by resilientconsumer demand, strong performance across services andmanufacturing, and a rebound in rural economic activity.
The easing of commodity prices led to a moderation in inflation,allowing the Reserve Bank of India to lower interest rates. Thisstrategic shift strengthened consumer sentiment and sparked arevival in private consumption.
All key sectors of agriculture, industry, and services registeredhealthy expansion. Manufacturing activity hit multi-month highs,while rising economic and climatic demands pushed electricityconsumption upward. The core sector posted steady gains,and GST collections reached a record peak, reflecting vigorouseconomic activity and heightened compliance.
India's GDP is projected to grow between 6.3% and 6.8% inFY26. Although challenges such as global volatility, supply chaindisruptions, and inflation persist, the nation's strong domesticfundamentals, consistent policy support, and stable governanceframework are expected to underpin sustained growth.
The fiscal year marked a significant milestone for the Company,characterized by strategic capacity enhancements and astrengthened market presence.
1) The acquisition of Kisan Mouldings Ltd. enhanced ourmanufacturing capacity to 225,500 tons. This includes165,500 tons from Apollo Pipes Ltd.'s existing plants and anadditional 60,000 tons from Kisan Mouldings, significantlystrengthening our presence in West India.
2) A capacity addition of 33,000 tons is in progress, comprisinga 30,000-ton Greenfield plant in Varanasi, targeted forcompletion by FY26, and a 3,000-ton allocation dedicatedto new product lines, such as window and door profiles.
3) Alongside the Greenfield expansion, we are also executinga 27,500-ton brownfield expansion. Collectively, thesestrategic initiatives will scale up the total installed capacityto 286,000 tons.
India's real estate sector delivered a strong performance in FY25,with all segments registering notable growth. Rising incomes andevolving aspirations among India's middle class continue to drivehousing demand. At the same time, expansion into Tier 2, Tier 3,and rural markets has unlocked significant opportunities for thebuilding products and infrastructure ecosystem.
Government-led agricultural programs—including enhancedirrigation infrastructure under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi SinchayeeYojana and increased funding through the Rural InfrastructureDevelopment Fund (RIDF)—have significantly boosted farmproductivity. This rise in rural prosperity and purchasing power istranslating into higher demand for housing, water managementsystems, and civic infrastructure in semi-urban and rural regions.
As India continues its development journey, the convergence ofurbanisation trends, agricultural upliftment, and infrastructureinvestment is expected to foster sustained growth in housingand allied sectors. The building products industry is poised tobenefit from this expanded opportunity landscape, driven byboth grassroots demand and strategic policy support.
Buoyed by India's robust growth outlook, we remain firmlycommitted to expanding our operational scale through targeted,forward-looking investments. In FY25, we deployed C166 crore incapital expenditure to advance our manufacturing capabilities,and we have allocated an additional C100 crore for FY26 toaccelerate this momentum further.
These investments are fully funded through internal accruals,underscoring our strong financial discipline and reinforcingour commitment to maintaining a debt-free balance sheet. Ourstrategic approach positions us for sustained scalability and long-
:erm value creation, grounded in resilience, innovation, and fiscalesponsibility.
