41ST ANNUAL REPORT
For the year ended 31.03.2026
From the Desk of the Managing Director
Dear Shareholders,
FY 2025-26 was marked by an evolving global energy landscape,
characterised by geopolitical uncertainties, shifting trade flows, and
continued volatility in crude oil and petroleum product prices. Despite
these challenges, India remained one of the fastest-growing major
economies, supported by resilient domestic demand, sustained
infrastructure investment, manufacturing growth, and policy-led
reforms. The country's expanding industrial base and rising energy
demand continue to provide long-term opportunities for the petroleum
trading sector.
At Veritas (India) Limited, our focus remained on strengthening business
resilience through disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation, and
effective risk management. In response to changing market dynamics
and restrictions in moving cargo through the strait, your Company
adopted a more flexible, demand-driven, and order-backed trading
model in the UAE. By rationalising inventory levels, optimising working capital, and reducing inventory price risk,
we enhanced operational agility while preserving capital in a challenging trading environment.
A key strategic initiative during the year was the comprehensive review of our overseas asset portfolio. The UAE's
decision to develop ports on its east coast, outside the Strait of Hormuz, has altered the long-term commercial
outlook for assets located within the Strait. Following a comprehensive assessment, your Company obtained
shareholder approval for the proposed sale and transfer of certain assets and liabilities of Verasco FZE, UAE in
Jan-26. This strategic initiative reflects our commitment to disciplined capital allocation, prudent risk management,
and long-term business resilience.
Looking ahead to FY 2026-27, we will continue to strengthen our trading platform, optimise supply chain efficiencies,
maintain disciplined capital allocation, and remain agile in responding to evolving regional and global market
conditions. We are confident that our disciplined approach, combined with our continued focus on operational
excellence, will support sustainable long-term value creation.
On behalf of the Board, I express my sincere gratitude to our shareholders for their continued trust and confidence.
I also thank our employees, customers, business partners, and all our stakeholders for their unwavering support
and commitment. Together, we look forward to building on our strengths and creating sustainable long-term value
in the years ahead.
Warm regards,
