Joint Managing Director’s Message

Commenting on this, Mr. Rajesh Doraiswamy, Director, Salzer Electronics Ltd said: “During the First quarter of the financial year, we registered a revenue of Rs. 288.67 crores with EBITDA (excluding other income) and PAT of Rs. 26.07 crore and Rs. 10.17 crore, respectively. This growth was mainly driven by the higher margin switchgear business that led to margin improvement. Our revenues from exports were largely from Asia, North & South America as well as Europe.

Joint Managing

We expect to continue with a similar growth trajectory with our strong product offerings and brand position in the market. Based on domestic and export outlook, we are cautiously optimistic about the overall business performance.

I am also happy to share that to further strengthen & professionalize our Board, we have appointed two non Executive Independent Directors – Mr Sharat Chandra Bhargav and Ms Priya Bhansali. Both are experienced professionals with over two decades of experience and hold directorship positions in various capacities in Indian organizations. Sharat, an engineer from IIT Kharagpur with a Management degree from Wharton Business School while Priya is a CA and a Managing Partner in Kumbhat & Co. I welcome them both and look forward to their valued inputs to help us take our Company to new heights.

ESG Initiatives - Carbon Emission by Scope

Scope 1  All Fossil fuels used in factories, such as diesel for backup power and fuels used in Cars, transport & fleet vehicles

Scope 2   Also the avoidable emissions are calculated by the use of Renewable power by own renewable sources as well as purchased renewable sources

Electricity consumed at all factories and offices of Salzer owned facilities

2019 was considered the Base year for calculation. 2020 & 2021 was not considered as it was a year with partial shutdowns due to Pandemic

The Direct Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission from facilities we operate (scope 1) has increased from 123 tons of Co2 to 191 tons of Co2. The increase over the last two years is due to higher activities due to increased turnover

The indirect GHG emissions from Energy consumption (Scope 2) was calculated 10537 tons of Carbon. However, the offset due to Generation & Purchase of Renewable Power was at 6321 tons of Co2. Hence the Net Carbon Emission due to energy Consumption is at 4217 tons of Co2. At total reduction of 50% compared to 2019

Scope 1 & 2 put together there is a Net reduction of 48% in carbon emissions from 8480 tons of Co2 to 4408 tons of Co2
