are imposing new and more stringent ecological norms which can restrict the exporter's
capability to grow, as complying with ecological norms is too expensive. The stringent
environmental regulations & increase in cost of raw materials due to increase in Crude
oil prices may hamper the growth of the Company. In addition to Pigment powder, the
Company has started o_ering range of pigment dispersion products to customers in existing
and new markets. Revenue from operations for the year were lower compared to previous year
largely due to impact on exports, which can be attributed to ongoing war situation in
Ukraine. Also the net Profit for the year was impacted due to lower sales and lower
operating margins due to increase in employee cost and other expenses. During the year
under review, the Company achieved sales turnover of 13,817.15 Lakhs as compared to
