Joint Managing Director’s Message

Commenting on the results, Mr. Rajesh Doraiswamy, Joint Managing Director, said :

“As we all are aware, the past year brought headwinds for the economy and overall industry, in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic adversely impacted entire supply chains, logistics and business operations across sectors in India and globally. we have seen gradual recovery as markets are slowly opening in India and abroad. Consequently, operations gradually resumed to full capacity as the restrictions were eased in a staggered manner by the authorities. However, as we have demonstrated during the previous year, even in such trying times, Salzer continues to show resilience and registered a good performance. We even conducted vaccination drive for all our employees.

During the second quarter of the financial year, we registered a revenue of Rs. 194.81 crores with EBITDA and PAT of Rs. 18.41 crore and Rs. 7.46 crore, respectively. This quarter performance was very good with growth coming in from industrial switchgear products from all the sectors and export markets mainly the US. One of the main challenge for us is continuous rise in input material price increase which is not stable and passing off input costs to customers is very difficult which has impacted margins slightly.

In line with our strategy to diversify into new innovative product lines, we have recently entered into two Joint Ventures in the electric vehicles (EV) industry. One is a technical alliance with Kostad Steuerungsbau GmbH, an Austria-based specialist in EV FAST chargers and the second one is with EMarch LLP – an India based technology firm which has IP for Electric Conversion Kits for Auto rickshaws, Cars, and buses. We expect these alliances to help us capitalize on the high-growth-potential sector of EVs, as more and more countries encourage the adoption of EVs.

Moreover, as the dealer and retail markets pick up pace, and domestic as well as international markets gradually recover and business regains momentum, we expect to maintain our growth trajectory with our strong product offerings and brand position in the market. Overall, we remain committed to our agenda of delivering sustainable growth and are cautiously optimistic about the business performance in the coming quarters.

I thank all our stakeholders for their continued support and faith in our Company and wish everyone good health.”
