All our major segments – Metals, Mining and Energy, have shown robust growth as compared to last year. Our ferro alloys business has significantly turned around and contributed to the improvement in profit in FY25.

 

We have also seen significant improvement in MEL’s receivables position. Post the close of the financial year, MEL received US$ 55.0 Mn which has helped it repay its shareholder loans in full to the sponsors.  

 

With an objective to improve shareholder value, we completed two corporate actions during the last financial year – a stock split in Q3 and a share buyback for Rs. 360.0 cr in Q4. In addition to these, we continue to maintain our dividend distribution at a healthy rate.

 

Our new projects under Maamba Solar, Nava Avocado and Kawambwa Sugar are showing encouraging progress. We are progressing on a robust cash and capital allocation plan which sufficiently meets our expansion objectives.

 

Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mr. K V S Vithal, who has joined us as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of NAVA Group with effective from February 8, 2025.”
