Mr Mehra in his speech to the shareholders
said “I feel honoured to present the First Annual Report for FY2017-18 as being
a Listed Company. The last financial year FY2017-18 was a remarkable year for
the company in many ways, despite difficult business environment on account of
demonization and GST Implementation that slowed the growth significantly.
However, as an fast emerging
company with over two and half decades of expertise and experience we did our best to defeat the economic and
market difficulties and I am happy to inform you that the Company achieved highest
ever growth in net sales and net profit last financial year. The Company’s Net
profit in the financial year 2017-18 grew 18.4 % to Rs 5.34 Cr. as compared to
Rs 4.51 crore posted in the previous financial year 2016-17. The turnover
of your company enhanced from Rs 238.79 Crore to Rs 331.86 Crores, registering
a highest ever growth of 38.97 %. The company has shown
consistent performance and growth over the years. In the last five years the
Company clocked a CAGR growth of 7.2 % in revenues and 6.5 % in Net
Profit.
The company came out with its
maiden IPO and was successfully listed under the SME Platform of Bombay Stock
Exchange in February 2018. The IPO received an overwhelming response from the
investors and was subscribed nearly 100 times which in itself is a landmark for
a SME company.
Since the inception the Company has grown to become one
of the leading players in the industry, handling production and
procurement of milk and manufacturing of milk products. Tasty Dairy started its
operations with handling 200 litres of liquid milk per day
and today the Company have processing facility of about
3.15 lakh liters of milk per day and giving direct and indirect employment to
people in and around Kanpur.
In addition to this Tasty Dairy is MOO’ving up the Dairy Skills in India. In a big and fast
growing country like India the farmers need to be skilled in a wide range of
areas to run profitable and sustainable dairy farming. Hence the Company is aggressively improving the dairy skill sets of thousands of farmers and
other stakeholders in Uttar Pradesh through a self-sustaining
social-business model for which the Company has recently set
up INDUCED (Indo Dutch Centre of Excellence on Dairying), an organization
born out of an MOU between Tasty Dairy Specialities Limited and PUM Netherlands
Senior Experts.
We believe the
dairy consumption is all set to go up significantly in India which will ultimately benefit
the company. There are several tailwinds driving the growth of dairy sector
such as increase in demand for value added products, increase in working
population, rising income, focus on health & nutrition, growth of organized
retail and rapid urbanization. The consumers are shifting towards quality,
branded and value added products. The structural changes such as GST and tax
compliance in the sector are helping the organized market players to grow
faster.
The Company has been
successfully adapting to these changes and challenges to meet the demands of
growing market. We have upgraded our facilities with latest technology &
boilers and installed condensate recovery system for enhancing energy
efficiency and reducing cost. We are
increasing our milk processing capacity to five lakh liters of milk per day, add new products focusing on
fastest growing categories
like Cheese, Butter, Yugurt, Lassi, Ice Cream and few others. The Company is
also building its retail presence across value chain and have launched
exclusive company operated branded stores creating
unique customer experience and to
make entire
range of Tasty Dairy products available under one roof. Using latest technology as the backbone for
sales growth we have launched our own Aap named Beatroute this year for
making marketing and sales function robust and responsible. The
Company has also launched its products on E-Commerce platforms to enhance
revenue growth from online sales.
Going forward, with our robust
growth strategy and plans in place which are well supported by our scale-able capabilities
and cash flows, we believe we are on a strong course to achieve an accelerated
growth and create long term and sustainable value for all the stakeholders. Your
company which is driven by
strong vision, mission, goals and values, has a diversified product mix, brand and customer
portfolio spread across the value chain.
The Company is well supported and led by experienced management and professional team. Therefore, on behalf of my
team members, I assure we shall strive to capitalize on available opportunities
in our business segments to achieve a consistent growth of over 25-40% per year
taking our top line to over Rs 600cr by FY2021 and attain new horizons.
Mr Mehra further said "The Company’s financial position is sound to take care
of future growth through internal accruals and additional funds and Govt Grant,
exemptions, subsidy and interest free loans. Ministry of Food Processing
Industries is expected to sanction a Grant of Rs.10 Crores for the Scheme of
Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure under the Scheme of
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojna. Currently, your company is also getting
relaxation by way of exemption in Payment of Monthly electricity duty charges
and will get expected benefit by way of refund / adjustment of Rs.55 Lakh (approx)
which was sanctioned by Electricity Distribution Department of Dakshinachal
Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd.
The Company has applied for 5% Interest Subsidy under
PUBY-12 (Punjigat Byaj Upadan Yojna-2012) on Term Loans for 3-4 years and is
expected to drive benefit of about Rs 56 Lacs (approx).
Additionally Your Company is also trying to avail VAT
& CST Interest-free Loan, Under UP Trade Policy for a period of 7 years
which starts from April, 2015 up to applicability of VAT/CST i.e. till June,
2017 and the tentative benefit amount will be Rs.2.91 Crores.
With the help of all I have
mentioned briefly and the positive business growth drives including
transformation of Dairy Farming, business friendly policy environment, positive
economic outlook, the Tasty Dairy Brand with a taste that reflects goodness
will propel the Company with a strong growth and goodwill in future and many
years to come.
From the bottom of my heart I
thank our board members for their valuable guidance, our customers for their
continued business and trust, employees for their immense contribution and hard
work and shareholders for your faith in our growth story. I assure all my
shareholders and stakeholders who have shown faith in our company that we shall
leave no stone unturned and keep producing healthy performance in the medium to
long term” Mr Mehra concluded with vote of thanks.
