During the financial year that ended on March 31, 2025, the company's primary business was the importand trading of aluminum scrap. This included specific types like Tread and Taint Tabor, sourced fromvarious international locations such as the USA, Israel, the United Kingdom, and different parts ofEurope.
After due consideration of the Company'sfinancial position and in alignment with itsstrategic objectives for expansion and long¬term growth, the Board of Directors hasdeemed it appropriate to conserve resourcesat this stage. Accordingly, the Board hasdecided not to recommend any dividend forthe financial year 2024-25.
The outlook for Bothra Metals and AlloysLimited remains positive, backed by strongdemand for aluminium products in India'sfast-growing economy. The aluminiumindustry is expected to witness sustainedgrowth due to rising applications in theinfrastructure, automotive, construction,power, renewable energy, and packagingsectors. Government initiatives such as “Makein India”, focus on green energy transition,and increasing adoption of lightweight,sustainable materials provide a strongplatform for expansion in the aluminium valuechain.
Bothra Metals and Alloys Limited, with itsestablished expertise in aluminium extrusionprofiles, billets, ingots, and trading of ferrousand non-ferrous scrap, is well positioned toleverage these opportunities. The plannedaddition of new extrusion capacities, focus onquality-driven exports, and the integration ofsustainable practices including solar energyutilization will further strengthen ourcompetitiveness.
In the coming years, the Company aims toenhance its operational efficiency throughmodernisation of plant and machinery, investin technology upgradation, and expand itscustomer base across domestic andinternational markets. With strong promoterexperience, long-standing relationships withcustomers and suppliers, and prudentfinancial management, the Company isconfident of achieving steady growth inrevenues and profitability.

The fiscal year 2024-25 has been a period ofremarkable dynamism for the global metalsindustry, particularly within the aluminiumsector. Bothra Metals and Alloys Limited isstrategically positioned to navigate thesetrends by leveraging our robustmanufacturing capabilities and extensivetrading network. The following outlookprovides a detailed perspective on thedomestic and international markets.
The Indian aluminium market is experiencinga phase of robust and sustained growth,driven by a confluence of macroeconomicfactors and government initiatives. India'saluminium market is projected to grow at ahealthy CAGR of 4-7% in the coming years,positioning it as one of the fastest-growingmarkets globally.
The government's continued focus on large-scale infrastructure projects, includinghighways, railways, and smart cities, is theprimary catalyst for aluminium demand. Itslightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistantproperties make it the material of choice forstructural components, window frames, andother architectural applications. This trendprovides a significant and stable demand forour manufactured aluminium billets andprofiles.
The automotive and transportation sector isundergoing a massive transformation withthe push for electric vehicles. Aluminium'ssuperior strength-to-weight ratio is crucial forenhancing the range and energy efficiency ofEVs by offsetting the weight of heavybatteries. Government schemes like theProduction Linked Incentive (PLI) for the autoindustry are accelerating this shift, creating asubstantial and growing demand for ouraluminium products and alloys.
A notable trend in the domestic market is theincreasing emphasis on a circular economy.The production of secondary aluminium fromscrap requires approximately 95% less energythan primary production, aligning with India'scommitment to reducing carbon emissions.Our business model, which includes theimport and trading of aluminium scrap,positions us as a key participant in thissustainable ecosystem, ensuring a steadysupply of raw materials and enhancingresource efficiency.
The international metals market, while facingits own set of challenges, presents bothopportunities and evolving dynamics that weare well-prepared to address. The globalaluminium market is projected for steadygrowth, driven by key sectors and anincreasing focus on sustainability.
Global Demand & Supply ChainDiversification: The global aluminium marketcontinues to be dominated by demand fromAsia-Pacific, with the transportation,construction, and packaging sectors beingkey drivers. However, a significant trend is thediversification of global supply chains, oftenreferred to as the "China 1" strategy. This shiftpresents a golden opportunity for Indianproducers to become preferred suppliers forcountries in the US, Europe, and SoutheastAsia looking to reduce their dependence on asingle source. Our trading business isstrategically aligned to capture this marketshare.
Sustainability is no longer a niche concern; itis a global imperative. The concept of "greenaluminium"—produced with low-carbontechnologies and renewable energy—isgaining significant traction. This trend isdriven by stringent environmental regulationsand consumer demand. As a companyfocused on energy-efficient manufacturingand recycling, we are well-positioned to meetthese evolving global standards and exploreexport opportunities in markets with a strongpreference for sustainable products.
The wider ferrous and non-ferrous metalsmarket is characterized by price volatility andintense competition. We mitigate these risksthrough our robust import and tradingbusiness, which allows us to source rawmaterials and finished goods at competitiveprices. Our strategic agility in navigatingthese market fluctuations ensures we canmaintain profitability and provide acomprehensive product portfolio to ourclients, both domestically and internationally.
The Company has established a robust andcomprehensive system of internal controlsthat extends across all functional andoperational areas of its business. Thesesystems are designed to ensure operationalefficiency, safeguard assets, maintain thereliability of financial reporting, and ensurecompliance with applicable laws, regulations,and internal policies.
To strengthen governance, the Companyengages the services of both internal and
