The Company is mainly engaged in Agro commodities/commodities sector which are heavily subject to the vagaries of nature. It also got adversely affected with the high volatility in prices in commodity markets globally in the last two years. Coupled with the above factors, the commercial disparity in operation and poor off take/ demand in export markets also further impacted the top line and bottom line of the Company. During the year 2024-25, the Company has been selling all products under brand name viz HIRA, TIGER, SURAJ & MOTI and 111(Triple One) Consistent rise in imports of edible oil to bridge the demand - supply gap impacts the trade imbalance and results in significant outflow of foreign exchange to the Company.
