During FY24 the total order inflow stood at Rs 1,841 crore including incremental orders in existing contracts with the total unexecuted order book of Rs 3,099 crores as on date, creating a revenue visibility of 3.02 years based on FY 24 revenues.

The Board is pleased to announce a Bonus Issue of 1 equity share for every 1 equity share by capitalizing the reserves, which will lead to better shareholder returns as well. The Company continues to maintain a healthy dividend policy, and keeping this in mind, the Board has announced a third interim dividend of Re 1 per share, taking the total dividend for FY 24 to Rs 3 per share i.e. 30%. I would like to commend all of you who have contributed to bringing our company to this level. We have now built strong foundations on which we can aspire to achieve greater heights.”
