IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant disturbance and slowdown of economic activity not only in India, but also globally. Measures taken by the Government to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing norms and closure of non-essential services have caused severe disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in a general economic slowdown. The nationwide lockdown ordered by the Government has resulted in significant reduction in economic activities including the business operations of the Company. Some of the Company's units which had to suspend operations due to Government directives related to COVID 19 have since resumed operations, taking all due care for the health and safety of its employee and adopting work from home policy, wherever possible for employees across the locations, as per the guidelines and norms prescribed by the respective State Governments/local authorities.

Your Company resumed its operations at its plants at various locations, in a phased manner with limited availability of employees and is in the process of scaling up its operations and focusing on controlling of costs and managing its resources optimally, to normalise its operations and its revenues. Based on the current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company has carried out a comprehensive assessment of the possible impact on its business operations. The Company expects to recover the carrying amounts of its assets such as receivables and inventories and meet all its liabilities, service its obligations, and sustain its operations. The Company is trying to reduce the fixed overheads to the best possible extent to sail through the difficult times ahead. The actual impact of the global pandemic, COVID19, may be different from that presently estimated and would be recognized in the financial statements when material changes to economic conditions arise.

STATUS OF OPERATIONS AT VIZAG

During the year, the Company successfully completed construction work at Vizag for setting up a facility for manufacturing rigid plastic containers and has commenced commercial production in the month of August, 2019. The total capacity of the plant is 3000 MT and the same is being implemented in a phased manner.

CONSOLIDATION OF MANUFACTURING FACILITIES Sarigam

As part of the Company's consolidation initiatives and for rationalisation of the production facilities and optimisation of cost, the manufacturing facility situated at Sarigam (Gujarat) was closed with effect from

15th January, 2020. Machineries and equipment of Sarigam plant, were shifted to the Naroli Plant and a onetime employee separation compensation was paid to the affected employees as per statute. The closure will help in reducing fixed costs.

FLOODS AT BADDI

The manufacturing operations of the Company's unit situated at

Baddi, Himachal Pradesh which was disrupted due to floods caused by heavy rains in adjacent areas in the month of August, 2019 has since resumed operations to normalcy in the month of October, 2019.

The plant is sufficiently insured and the claim process was initiated during the year.

The claim for damage was submitted to the insurance company, however pending assessment of loss by the surveyor, the insurance claim receivable has not been accounted as income in accordance, with a proviso to lND AS 37, which requires ‘virtual certainty' for recognition of the insurance claim receivable. The loss owing to floods on account of damaged stock and the repair cost incurred net of salvage value realised has been considered as an exceptional item during the quarter and year ended 31st March, 2020.

REDEMPTION OF PREFERENCE SHARES

Your Company has not redeemed any Preference Shares during the year and the Preference Share capital stands at Rs. 2,235.72 lakhs as on 31st March, 2020.
