Throughout this period, we have maintained focus on the swift execution of our action plan to Enhance our strengths, Engage with our stakeholders and Expand our opportunities. We are confident that as our implementations gather momentum, it will take us on a sustained higher growth trajectory. As expected, the stabilisation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has resulted in the wires and cables industry steadily moving towards the organised market from a largely unorganised market. However, the demand for electrical and communication cables remained muted during the year due to subdued growth in end-user sectors, especially real estate and telecommunications. The natural calamity of floods in Kerala also impacted our business operations. Notwithstanding this difficult market environment, the Revenue distinct recognition our brand commands enabled us to deliver a resilient financial performance. For the full year, we recorded 6.2% growth in revenue, realising Rs. 3,200 Rs. 3,200 crores 6.2% crores as against Rs. 3,012 crores in the previous year. Profit FY 2018-19 before tax increased by 5.5% to Rs. 532 crores for the year as Rs. 3,012 crores against Rs. 504 crores for the previous year. Profit after tax FY 2017-18 declined moderately to Rs. 344 crores for the year as against Rs. 358 crores during the previous year. Volatile commodity pricing and unwinding of tax holiday benefits at our facility at PBT Roorkee, Uttarakhand impacted our margins. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities have been Rs. 532 crores 5.5% FY 2018-19
