Performance Review
FY 2024-25 was an exceptionally challenging year for the granite export industry. The
business environment was marked by subdued demand across key international markets, a
global container crisis, and volatile currency movements ? all of which placed
significant pressure on both realizations and profitability. These challenges were further
compounded by intense global competition and ongoing geopolitical instability.
One of the major headwinds was the aggressive pricing of construction materials by
competing nations, which led to a sharp decline in average selling prices. In this highly
competitive and uncertain landscape, our Company demonstrated resilience, supported by a
strong foundation and well-calibrated strategies.
Despite these external pressures, we remained steadfast in our commitment to
operational excellence. The Company undertook several key initiatives including stringent
costsaving measures, entry into domestic markets, and on-the-ground operational changes.
These efforts included a comprehensive review of operational expenditures, renegotiation
of supplier contracts, and the adoption of more efficient practices across the supply
chain.
Looking ahead, the Board and Management remain optimistic about the future. We are
focused on building a strong, sustainable platform for growth through the following
strategic priorities:
• Resource Optimization: Continuously improving operational efficiency and
resource utilization.
• Cost Management: Implementing additional cost-control measures and
maintaining rigorous fiscal discipline.
• Market Adaptability: Remaining agile to adapt to evolving market trends and
geopolitical shifts, thereby minimizing risks and capturing new opportunities.
Our commitment to these strategic pillars will be instrumental in navigating the
ongoing challenges and positioning the Company for long-term success.
Subsidiary Companies
Madhav Natural Stone Surfaces Private Limited
As mentioned in the previous Annual Report, the Subsidiary had initially planned to
acquire mining leases for quartz and establish a processing unit for quartz powder.
However, these plans were deferred due to the unavailability of the desired quality of
mineral and suitable mining areas. The management is currently reassessing the market
conditions and business environment and will take timely and appropriate decisions based
on evolving opportunities. Furthermore, the management remains confident that the
recoverable amount, whether through sale proceeds or future cash flows, will continue to
support the Company's financial exposure to the Subsidiary.

a pivotal role as a key partner in Madhav Surfaces (FZC) LLC, Oman. The subsidiary is

the joint venture in Oman operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility specializing
in artificial stone slabs.
During FY 2024-25, the Parent Company, Madhav Marbles and Granites Limited, further
strengthened its strategic involvement by acquiring a 13.33% equity stake in Madhav
Surfaces (FZC) LLC, Oman. This investment aligns with the Company's vision to diversify
its portfolio and deepen its presence in the engineered stone segment.
With a strong emphasis on integrating advanced manufacturing technologies and
innovative design practices, the Quartz Unit continues to enhance its standing in the
industry. Key growth drivers?including a robust construction and real estate sector,
increasing preference for customized and durable surfaces, and growing adoption in
commercial spaces?are propelling demand. The unit remains well-positioned to meet

Auditors' Qualification |
Management Reply |
| The Company has made investments in its subsidiary, Madhav Ashok Ventures
Private Limited amounting to Rs. 2,16,00,000 and has extended loans amounting to Rs.
22,85,33,421 as at 31st March 2025. |
In response to the audit qualification, the management is optimistic
about the future performance of its subsidiary, Madhav Ashok Ventures Private Limited, and
its associate, Madhav Surfaces FZC LLC, Oman, in the current financial year. |
| The net worth of the subsidiary has been fully eroded which indicates the
existence of indicators of impairment in accordance with the requirements of Indian
Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36 - Impairment of Assets. However, the Company has neither
carried out an impairment assessment of the said investments and nor recognized any
provision for loan in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025. |
This confidence is underpinned by the anticipated imposition of tariffs
by the US on quartz products, which is expected to enhance the competitive advantage of
the Oman-based operations over other countries, including India. This development is
likely to improve the product demand in Middle East, India, US and European markets, thus
improving profitability of the associate, thereby indirectly strengthening the financial
position of the subsidiary. |
| In the absence of such an assessment and provision, we are unable to
determine whether any adjustments are necessary to the carrying value of these i
nvestments and loans. |
Additionally, the Company anticipates improved cash flows in the current
year, supported by increased working capital availability and ongoing production and
dispatches aligned with the projected targets. |
| Had such an impairment assessment been performed and any provision
recognized, the carrying value of these financial assets, the profit or loss for the year,
and the related disclosures in the financial statements could have been materially
affected. |
The promoters have also reiterated their commitment to the long-term
stability of the subsidiary and are willing to infuse additional funds if necessary to
support its increased operations. These developments, combined with focused efforts to
enhance operational efficiency and market positioning, provide a strong basis for
management's belief that the business outlook for both the subsidiary and its associate is
expected to improve in the near term. |
| The Company has made investments in its subsidiary, Madhav Natural Stone
and Surface Private Limited ts amounting to Rs. 70,51,000 and has extended loans amounting
to Rs. 5,61,43,848 as at 31st March 2025. The net worth of the subsidiary has been fully
eroded due to continued losses, which indicates the existence of indicators of impairment
in accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36 - Impairment
of Assets. However, the Company has neither carried out an impairment assessment of the
said investments and nor recognized any provision for loan in the financial statements for
the year ended 31st March 2025. In the absence of such an assessment and provision, we are
unable to determine whether any adjustments are necessary to the carrying value of these
investments and loans. Had such an impairment assessment been performed and any provision
recognized, the carrying value of these financial assets, the profit or loss for the year,
and the related disclosures in the financial statements could have been materially
affected. |
The subsidiary had earlier initiated business restructuring efforts to
reduce losses and explore new business opportunities, further supporting long-term value.
Further while, the impairment assessment could not be finalized before audit completion,
preliminary indications suggest that the recoverable amount (via sale proceeds and cash
flows) will support the existing carrying value of the Company's financial exposure to the
subsidiary. |
Further, the Statutory Auditors in their Report on Consolidated Financial statements
have made certain qualifications. The Management's Reply thereto are as under:-
Auditors' Qualification |
Management Reply |
| In one of the subsidiaries of the Holding Company, the other auditor who
audited the financial statements / financial information of the subsidiary has reported
that the subsidiary company viz: Madhav Ashok Ventures Private Limited has made
investments amounting to Rs. 10,15,24,304 and has extended loans, including interest,
amounting to Rs.7,64,89,721/- to its associate company, Madhav Surfaces FZC LLC as at 31st
March 2025. The report of the other auditor states that the net worth of the associate
company has been fully eroded, which constitutes an indicator of impairment as per the
requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36 - Impairment of Assets. However,
the Company has not performed an impairment assessment in respect of the above investments
and loans, nor has it recognised any impairment loss in the financial statements for the
year ended 31st March 2025. In the absence of such an assessment, we are unable to
determine whether any adjustments are required to the carrying values of the investments
and loans. Had such impairment been assessed and recognised, the carrying value of these
financial assets, the profit or loss for the year, and the related disclosures in the
financial statements could have been materially impacted. |
In response to the audit qualification, the management is optimistic
about the future performance of its subsidiary, Madhav Ashok Ventures Private Limited, and
its associate, Madhav Surfaces FZC LLC, Oman, in the current financial year. |
