MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

Macro-Economic Rev'ew

The global economy is expected to maintain moderate growth momentum during 2025-26, supported by easing inflationary pressures,
resilient labour markets, and gradual stabilization in financial conditions. According to estimates by the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), global GDP growth is projected at around 3.1%-3.3% during 2025 and 2026, reflecting steady but uneven economic recovery
across regions.

However, the global outlook continues to face several downside risks, including geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, elevated
public debt levels, and lingering policy uncertainties. Although headline inflation has moderated in most economies, services inflation
and wage pressures remain relatively persistent, prompting central banks to maintain a cautious approach toward monetary easing.

Amid the evolvng global envronment, India continues to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world. According to
projections by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, India’s GDP growth is expected to remain in the range of 6.4%-6.6%
during FY 2025-26, supported by strong domestic consumption, infrastructure investments, and resilient services activity.

India’s growth outlook continues to be supported by robust government capital expenditure, increasing private sector investments,
and expanding digital and manufacturing ecosystems. Infrastructure development, particularly in roads, railways, logistics, and urban
development, is expected to remain a key growth driver. The construction sector is likely to maintain strong momentum, while financial
services, real estate, and professional serv'ces are expected to contribute significantly to economic activty.

Private consumption is anticipated to remain healthy, aided by improvng rural demand, stable employment conditions, and rising
disposable incomes. Growth in sectors such as trade, transport, hospitality, and retail serv'ces is expected to continue, reflecting
sustained recovery in consumer-oriented industries.

India’s inflation outlook remains manageable, supported by moderating food prices, stable supply chains, and proactive policy measures
by the Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). While global commodity price volatility and geopolitical developments may
pose intermittent risks, inflation is expected to remain broadly within the RBI’s target range.

Financial conditions in India continue to remain stable, supported by a well-capitalized banking system, healthy credit growth, and
prudent fiscal management. The Government’s continued focus on structural reforms, manufacturing incentives, digital transformation,
ease of doing business, and investment facilitation is expected to further strengthen India’s medium-term growth prospects.

According to various multilateral agencies and global institutions, India remains well-positioned to sustain its growth momentum and
continue contributing significantly to global economic expansion, despite an uncertain external environment.

Fibre Cement (FC) Sheets:

During the year under review, the Sales quantity of FC Sheets grew by around 6% compared to previous year and the industry
reportedly had an early single digit growth for the year. All state geographies registered a strong growth. Newer geographical
markets explored last financial year yielded results. 5-year CAGR growth yielded an early single digit growth. “Single plant
Regional Operators” renewed their aggression and expanded into newer geographies. This impacted the realisation. Projects in
West helped grow business with a higher double-digit growth.

Distribution width and depth was the growth engine last year and will continue to remain for the year as well. Taluk level dealer
appointment has augmented our distribution. Our effort was to build a market centre and aggressively drive the marketing
elements around it. Early signs of Middle East war tension were felt in the last quarter of the year and this created a situation
where up stocking by dealer was noticed.

There was demand noticed in specific segments of industries viz. Tiles, Ceramics & Poultry for roofing requirements. Depreciation
of Rupee also affected the raw material’s cost.

Consistent and judicious usage of raw materials and supplier negotiations helped to partially mitigate the impact.

Price of substitutes inched up in Q4 due to ongoing shortage of fuel.

We started experimenting with “Ramco Power of Rain guard sheet “ in select geographies. The USP of this product is that it
doesn’t allow water to stagnate and prevents leakage.

Promotional efforts are vigorously taken to explore new potential areas with more customized products.

Fibre Cement Boards :

• Achieved 105% of the annual target during FY 2025-26, recording 1.26 lakh MT in the Non-Asbestos category.

• Niche Marketing vertical recorded a strong 37% growth over last year, achieving nearly 19,000 MT during FY 2025-26.

• Export business registered 60% volume growth, driven by strong performance in Nepal, South Africa, and the U.K.

• Secured and successfully executed the single largest HIDEN order of 425 MT from LG Electronics, Tada, Andhra Pradesh, with
complete supply accomplished during February 2026.

• Secured several prestigious HILUX projects, including the Mumbai Underground Metro (Aqualine) Project, Sify Data Centre
projects in Chennai, Mumbai, and Noida, IIM Guwahati, India International Horticulture Project in Haryana, Foxconn Bangalore,
and AIIMS Hospital Madurai.

• Successfully launched the new product category, HICEM PLUS, during Q4, receiving an encouraging market response in Kerala
and Nepal.

• HILUX LITE (light weight Calcium Silicate Tiles) launched during last FY is received well and we did a volume of around 1 lakh
tiles. This can be scaled up to 2 lakhs plus tiles during 2026-27.

• Strengthened engagement with architects through participation and sponsorship of major industry events, including ABID Expo
- Kolkata, Build Con Expo - Nepal, Arch-Ex - Chandigarh, IIID Lucknow Chapter Annual Event, IIID events in Mumbai and Thane,
and D-Arc Expos in Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai.

• Co-sponsored the Architecture Awards organized by Malayala Manorama - Vanitha Veedu in Kerala, engaging around 350

B. WIND MILLS:

During the Financial Year 2025-26, the Wind energy generation was higher by 14 % compared to last year, from the existing 15
Wind Mills.

Position regarding Wind Mills was as follows: -

Total Capacity Installed : 16.73 MW

Total Units generated : 289 Lakh Units (P.Y: 253 Lakh Units)

Income earned : '20.13 Crores (P.Y: '16.82 Crores) (by generation/sale of power)

This reflects an overall improvement in generation efficiency and revenue performance during the year.

C. COTTON YARN DIVISION - SRI RAMCO SPINNERS :Production and Sales :

During the year 2025-26, the Unit had produced 30.76 Lakh Kgs. of Cotton Yarn as compared to 24.22 Lakh Kgs. produced during
the prev'ous year.

The Unit had sold Yarn at 35.49 Lakh Kgs. (including traded yarn) during the year under rev'ew as against 36.65 Lakh Kgs. during
the year 2024-25.

The cotton production in India during the cotton season 2025-26 was 313 Lakh bales (170 Kgs), compared to 327 Lakh bales, a
drop of 4% due to reduction in acreage.

Volatility in cotton prices continues, with prices of both cotton and yarn experiencing wide fluctuations. According to data
published by the Foreign Agricultural Service of USDA, world cotton production for the 2026-27 season is expected to decrease by
5% on account of lower projection in production for Australia, Brazil, China, Pakistan, Turkey, and United States. However, global
cotton consumption is projected to grow by 1.33% on account of larger global cotton supplies, replenishment of inventories across
the textile and product supply chain, and prospects for global economic growth.

The company is continuously monitoring various process parameters and implementing various system controls to deliver
consistent quality yarn. Strengthening its product lines with more value-added customized yarn counts will help the company
mitigate the impact of falling demand for commodity counts.

The division has secured “A Grade” in Social Audit Compliances and confident that these measures will contribute to decent
growth in its top line and sustainable profitability in the years ahead.

following weblink:
https://www.ramcoindltd.com/file/RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY RIL.pdf.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has in place a robust risk management framework designed to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate key risks that can
impact its operations, financial performance and strategic objectives. The framework is aligned with the size, scale and complexity of
the Company’s operations and is periodically reviewed by Risk Management Committee and the Board.

The Company continuously monitors the risks associated with its operations and implements appropriate mitigation measures, including
cost optimization initiatives, diversified sourcing strategies, operational efficiencies and strict compliance mechanisms.

A detailed exposition of the risk management framework, key risks identified and the mitigation measures adopted by the Company is
provided below:

Key Risks

Mitigation measures

Currency Fluctuation Risks

The Company has exposure to USD and other
foreign currency denominated transactions
for import of Raw material, Stores & Spares
and Capital goods, besides exports of finished
goods and borrowings in foreign currency. Any
unfavourable movement in currency prices can
impact profitability.

The Company has Forex hedging policies to hedge Foreign currency loans, import
transactions by booking forward contracts based on the prevailing foreign exchange
market conditions, after taking into consideration the anticipated foreign
exchange inflows/outflows, timing of cash flows, tenure of the forward contract.
The company, in its textile Division, avails Packing credit in foreign Currency on
receipt of export orders and hence the incidence of currency fluctuations are
minimised.

Information Technology Risk

The Company’s operations are completely
dependent on IT systems, which requires
careful management of the information that is
in our possession to ensure data privacy. The
cyberattack threat of unauthorised access and
misuse of sensitive information or disruption
to operations continue to increase across the
world. Such an attack would affect the business
operations in a number of ways, including
disruption to sales, production and cash flows,
ultimately impacting our results.

Organization’s Critical Data is stored in an Information Rights Management
System. Data is encrypted as per policy, to protect security and privacy. Endpoint
device security is enabled in the entire organization to block all unauthorized
data transfers. Strong virus, malware, grey-ware, spyware, Trojans, spam,
ransomware protection systems with Botnet Protection, Application Control
and Web Application Firewall have been deployed. Hardware like, routers,
firewalls, servers, secure remote access, endpoints are kept OEM up-to-date.
All obsolete hardware, software, protocols and operating system are not in use.
Strong IT policies are in place to protect business data and data privacy. All
external communication media have ACL (Access Control List). Integrated Data
Protection Manager deployed for backup purpose. Mission critical applications
and data are replicated from the data centre to Disaster Recovery Site for
business continuity.

Interest rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from long-term
borrowings with variable rates, which exposed
the company to cash flow interest rate risk. The
Company’s fixed rate borrowing are carried at
amortized cost and therefore are not subject
to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107
since neither the carrying amount nor the
future cash flows will fluctuate because of the
change in market interest rates. The Company
is exposed to the evolution of interest rates
and credit markets for its future refinancing,
which may result in a lower or higher cost of
financing, which is mainly addressed through
the management of the fixed/ floating ratio of
financial liabilities.

The Company constantly monitors credit markets to strategize a well-balanced
maturity profile in order to reduce both the risk of refinancing and large
fluctuations of its financing cost. The Company believes that it can source funds
for both short term and long term at a competitive rate considering its strong
fundamentals on its financial position.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risks are those risk that the Company
will not be able to settle or meet its obligations
on time or at reasonable price.

Monitoring and optimizing working capital is achieved through tightened control
measures in collection of receivables, negotiation of credit periods with suppliers,
maintain adequate inventory based on business requirements and thereby
maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance
the company’s operations. The Company maintains flexibility in funding by
keeping both committed and uncommitted credit lines available with bankers.
The Company has laid well defined policies and procedures facilitated by robust
information system for timely and qualitative decision making by the management
including its day-to-day operations.

Geo-Political Risk - (Russia -Ukrain war risk)

The company’s geo-political risk arises from its
sourcing the raw material from Russia on whom
US, UK, EU and other countries have imposed
partial sanctions.

The company is able to import of raw material from Russia and the company’s
banks are making payments to Russian origin goods on submission of declaration
and after making necessary checks with respect to restrictions on sanctions.
However, to mitigate the risk, the company reviewing constantly its share of
its purchases from non-Russian countries and also considers making payment to
non-Russian countries and in currencies other than USD.

To mitigate the risk, the company maintains adequate stock levels so that there
is no disruption in production.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk is the risk of financial loss to the
Company if the customer or counterparty
to the financial instruments fails to meet its
contractual obligations and arises principally
from the Company’s receivables. Treasury
Operations and other operations that are in the
nature of lease. The Company’s exposure to
credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual
characteristic of each customer. The Company
extends credit to its customers in the normal
course of business by considering the factors
such as financial reliability of customers. The
Company evaluates the concentration of the risk
with respect to trade receivables as low, as it
customers are located in several jurisdictions
and operate in largely independent markets.

The Company maintains adequate security deposits / Bank Guarantees from
many of its customers based on market condition. Advance payments are
obtained for the value of the material from the Project / one time / new
entrants. The exposures with the Government are generally unsecured and they
are considered as good. However, unsecured credits are extended based on the
creditworthiness of the customers on case to case basis. Trade receivables are
written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor
declaring bankruptcy or failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company
and where there is probability of default, the Company creates provision based
on Expected Credit Loss for trade receivables under simplified approach.

Marketing Risk

Fibre Cement Industry is a highly competitive
industry, largely due to dependants in fibre
imports. More manufacturing capacity have
sprung up.

Quality Product with pricing, Benchmarking, Substitutes and In-House Branding
will help get an edge over competition.

Fibre Cement Industries is seasonal in nature
and logistic sensitive.

Human Resource Risk

Loss of key employees due to resignation
or retirement, overstaffing / understaffing,
higher attrition rate, inadequate training for
employees, employee wellness, and disturbances
in industrial relations are identified as the key
risk factors in human resource.

Human Resource risk is mitigated by forecasting annual manpower to hire right
people at right time. Various retention methodologies are followed like employee
friendly benefits like extending loan schemes, transfer option to preferred
location in genuine cases, Group Medical Insurance and Group Personal Accident
Insurance Scheme and buffer scheme. Training programmes are conducted
to employees based on functional roles. Periodic Wellness sessions on health
related topics are being conducted with expert doctors from reputed hospitals.
Maintaining cordial relationship with Unions, local leaders and carrying out CSR
projects relevant to the local needs have ensured that there were no loss of
man-days due to such disturbances.
