Commenting on the H2 & FY22 performance, Gaurang Shah, Chairman and Managing Director, said:
“Your Company has reported robust numbers in its H2 & FY22 results. I am pleased to state that we have set a new benchmark for ourselves in terms of topline, operating profits and bottom line. Our FY22 Revenue from Operations stood at an all-time high of ₹156.05 crores, an increase of 139% on a Y-o-Y basis. This growth has been despite a delayed rise in fuel prices in Q4FY22. The Company has been driving growth primarily on the basis of higher volumes and better utilisation of its manufacturing facility. As a result, Operating Profit margins for the year FY22 stood significantly higher at 8.2% compared to 4.5% in the previous year. An increase in margins coupled with a significant increase in topline led to an exponential 727% increase in net profit for the year under review.
On the operational front, Kotyark Industries has added 8 more mobile retail outlets (MRO) of biodiesel under its brand ‘Green N Green’, which puts the total to 25 such operational MRO’s. Further, in line with its strategy of expanding Retail Outlets’ revenue stream, the Company plans to apply for 50 more licenses. The Company has also made noteworthy progress in leveraging the benefits of carbon credits in its business. At present, the Company is envisaging a potential ~4 lakh units of carbon credit, given its current scale of operations. We have also recommended a dividend of Rs 2 per share to our shareholders, subject to approval at the AGM, in light of our robust financial performance and strengthened balance sheet position.
As we set out to revolutionise the fuel industry by enabling sustainable alternative energy, we are pleased with the direction that the Indian government has accorded. We are confident that policy changes such as the envisaged 5% blending targets of biodiesel in diesel by 2030 will augment our performance in the coming years and will enable us to realise our goal of becoming the leading biodiesel manufacturer in India. Furthermore, our performance for the year adds legitimacy to our goals, and we are confident that we will be able to deliver on our promises.”
