With projects at Kapadvanj and Wada progressing on schedule, we're set to transform the market. To reward our loyal shareholders and enhance liquidity, the board has recommended a bonus issue, reinforcing our equity base. We remain focused on innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainability, which will drive future growth and value for all stakeholders."

The Company in its board meeting on July 19, 2024 has recommended issue of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 1:1 i.e. one bonus equity share for every one existing equity share held by the shareholders of the company as on the record date, subject to the approval of shareholders at the AGM on August 29, 2024.

Subject to obtaining necessary approvals, the bonus shares shall be credited within 2 months from the date of the Board approval i.e. on or before September 18, 2024.

“The company experienced flat volume growth in Q1FY25 due to market disruptions linked to the Holi festival and delays associated with the Loksabha Elections. These disruptions particularly impacted the West and North regions, where migrant labor is essential. Additionally, in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, construction activities were paused for 4 to 5 hours daily in May 2024 due to extreme heat, in line with Municipal Corporation guidelines, which affected the demand for blocks. Moreover, the Umargaon plant has been undergoing a planned temporary shutdown for technology upgrades since May 18, 2024.

Profitability during the quarter remained under pressure as the company had incurred expenses for inauguration and product launch and various other markeing related expenses of "ZMARTBUILD WALL" for the newly commercialised JV plant. Additionally, depreciation and other operating expenses have been charged for the full quarter, however, corresponding revenue generation has been less, added Mr. Saboo. ”
