Commenting on the business performance, Mr. Rishabh Agarwal, Non-Executive Director & Chairman, Responsive Industries Limited said,

The Company had an excellent quarter, having been focused purely on expanding the margins and the same can be seen over the past few quarters. Our Sales were similar to previous quarters due to the holiday season. We have added New Distributors & Direct Customers which should add robust sales over the next 6 to 8 quarters, this should help the Company grow at approx. 30 to 35% CAGR in the next couple of years.

The Company supports the government push for Atma Nirbhar & Viksit Bharat, and will gain from their decision to covert 40,000 normal bogies to Vande Bharat along with the Green Energy Vision and adoption of e-buses for public transport. The government push for infrastructure development is also a positive for Responsive.

The Company’s current capacities are sufficient to cater to the increased demand over the next couple of years. The company is currently a Zero-Debt company.

“We are exceptionally proud of Responsive Industries’ performance in Q3-FY24. These financial results are a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team. As we move forward, we remain committed to our core values of innovation, sustainability, and exceptional service to our customers. We are confident that Responsive Industries is well-positioned for continued success and growth in the future.”

The improved EBITDA margin and Net margin have become possible due to our improved operational efficiency, added Mr. Agarwal.
