Core Investment Company The Company is a Core Investment Company-Non Deposit Taking-Systemically Important (CIC-ND-SI) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and has been complying with all the stipulations prescribed by RBI. Operations & Outlook India continued on its growth trajectory in FY26 and outpaced the global economy with a robust GDP growth of over 7%, amid lower inflationary pressures. The global economic environment however remained uncertain with strong head winds caused by geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions and inflation across major economies. Overall, the global economy faced multiple upheavals due to the recent West Asia war, which is likely to affect overall economic activity. The Indian business environment remained resilient driven by aggressive public infrastructure spending and a significant revival in private consumption. The industrial sector, supported by Production Linked Incentives and infrastructure spending, grew steadily and accounted for about 28% of the GDP. The agricultural sector, which contributes about 15% of the economic output, was aided by good monsoon and higher crop output. This led to higher rural demand and reduced inflationary pressures. Services accounted for about 55% of economic output. The recent GST rate rationalisation reforms boosted demand, especially in the second half of the year. Lower tax incidence leading to increased competitiveness, helped maintain revenue resilience giving an impetus to the economy. The Company recorded Profit after Tax of Rs. 11,977.42 lacs on standalone basis and Rs. 84,340.45 lacs on consolidated basis for the year. The Company being a Core-Investment Company, holds significant investment in the Group Companies operating in diversified Industrial segments. With the Government thrust on the Infrastructure development and strong domestic consumption the outlook of Indian Economy remains positive in FY 27 but with moderated growth of around 6%. This augurs well for the Company keeping in mind that the sectors in which your company is invested in – Paper/Tyre/ Automotive components/Cement to name a few, which contribute significantly to the economy and are performing well.
