Expansion is the priority.
The board just approved the purchase of eight acres of industrial land in Raliawas, Haryana, for ₹19 crore. This acquisition, sourced from a related party, accounts for roughly 11% of the company's ₹169 crore market capitalization. The company intends to use the site to grow its warehousing and logistics footprint, which is central to its lubricant and bitumen operations. To manage this capital-intensive expansion, the board has brought in Sukumaran Jeyakrishnan as an independent director and promoted Ashish Garg to oversee operations and supply chain management. Non-executive director Deepa Goel has resigned as part of this management reshuffle. The next test for the company is the execution of this logistics project and the transparency of the related-party transaction terms.
