CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to share with you an update on your company’s performance for 2021-22. I am presenting the 42nd Annual Report of K G Petrochem Limited reflecting on our accomplishments during the financial year 2021-22.

Just a year ago when the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic and India imposed a strict lockdown in March. Since then, lives have been lost, surviving life has been disrupted and lifestyles have been fundamentally altered. In India, some areas of activity, especially contact intensive ones, have been deeply scarred. In factory-based manufacturing and institutionalized services, there has been considerable adaptation to pandemic protocols, enabling normalization of work processes quicker than in other sectors.

As far as Indian exports crossed US$ 40.38 billion in March 2022 . India’s merchandise exports in March 2022 were valued at USD 40.38 billion, as compared to USD 35.26 billion in March 2021, an increase of 14.53%.

The Ministry of Commerce, Cotton Raw & Waste exports reached a level of USD 1342.97 million in March 2022 marking a growth of 21.53 per cent against the corresponding month of March 2021, wherein exports were valued at USD 1105.05 million. Exports of Textile yarn Fabric during the period April – March 2022 have shown a decrease of (-) 2.72% reaching a level of USD 163.41 million over the previous year with exports of USD 167.98 million during the period April – March 2021. The decline of 2.72% is mainly because of steep falls in April/May. It may also be noted that exports of cotton have shown positive growth.

However COVID-19 has also impacted the business. The major issue faced were supply interruption of raw material, availability of labour, high inflation rate, high shipping/transportation cost . Results the company data shows decline compare to the last year.
