Savita Oil Technologies Ltd
Chairman Speech
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
I am delighted to present Savita's Annual Report for the fiscal year 2022-23.
Despite facing challenges from an unfavourable external environment, your Company has
delivered another robust financial performance clocking our highest ever revenue during
this fiscal. Leveraging innovation, maintaining our steadfast focus on sustainability, and
delivering superior products has resulted in our exceptional performance, reaffirming
Savita's positioning as one of the fastest growing lubricant brands in India.
ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE
This fiscal witnessed the global economy grappling with several headwinds in the form
of inflationary pressures, high input costs, fluctuating forex and geo-political crisis,
to name a few. These factors collectively led to an economic slowdown worldwide,
particularly evident across developed markets.
In contrast, the Indian economy continued to grow and was the fastest growing major
economy in the world during FY 2022-2023. Underscoring its economic resilience amid global
uncertainties, India reported a stable GDP growth of 7.2% reaching $3.75 trillion during
FY 2022-2023. In comparison, global GDP growth was lower at 2.8% down from the 3.4% growth
observed during the previous year. Growing domestic demand, industrialisation, rapid
digitalisation, and massive spending on infrastructure development as well as supportive
government measures were key drivers that helped build the Indian economy during the
fiscal. These factors collectively have solidified India's position as a significant
player in the global economic ecosystem.
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
The favourable conditions in India coupled with the gradual decline of the pandemic,
created a positive impact on industries in general and in many cases industries which are
significant consumers of our products.
Things looked up for the automotive sector which started witnessing growth after its
lacklustre performance during the pandemic years. Demand picked up across heavy commercial
vehicles, cars and two-wheeler segments among others. The growth across the lubricant
segment was driven by India's large population strata, favourable demographics, moderate
vehicle penetration levels, infrastructure development and government support.
India is expected to emerge as a major contributor to the growth of non-OECD
(Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) petroleum consumption globally.
During FY 2022-2023, India's consumption of petroleum products stood at 222.3 MMT.
However, during the year, the oil sector witnessed significant price volatility as well as
supply demand challenges due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
Though we expect the external environment to continue to be challenging due to
volatility and a highly competitive environment, we are very confident of our capabilities
to rise beyond these challenges due to our renewed focus on brand building, increased
distribution and superior product offerings.
DELIVERING VALUE
During the year, the challenges notwithstanding, we have delivered excellent double
digit volume growth across two of our Lubricating verticals viz. Industrial and OEM
primarily driven by robust growth in Industrial demand and strong performance of our OEM
Partners. On a standalone basis, our revenue from operations stood Rs. 3,653 Crore in FY
2022-2023 compared to Rs. 2,969 Crore reported in FY 2021-2022, a growth of 23%. This
growth was primarily driven by a rise in oil prices. However, our EBITDA and PAT at Rs.
359 Crore and Rs. 226 Crore respectively were lower due to an increase in raw material
costs.
SETTING STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
During the year, we continued our focus on innovation to offer a diverse range of
superior products and drive growth while reinforcing our brand positioning. With the
Indian lubricant segment poised for rapid growth, we maintained our sharp focus on
industrial lubricants by introducing a separate distribution network for industrial
lubricants during the year. Our acquisition of Savita Polymers Limited last fiscal has
helped us add an exciting new range of very high value specialty products to our existing
portfolio while opening high growth potential opportunities in the segment.
DRIVING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Our commitment to sustainability began over two decades ago with our investment in
renewable wind energy. In 2017, we were the first Indian Company to manufacture a 100%
bio-based transformer fluid, which is fully bio-degradable as well as from a renewable
source. This product has been well accepted and is showing steady growth in volumes.
During the year, we continued to align our sustainability vision with the government's
ambitious roadmap for a circular economy. We also continue to actively pursue strategic
endeavours aimed at promoting environmental and climate change requirements.
To meet the twin objectives of launching more environmentally friendly products as well
as cutting-edge technology, we decided to build our own Synthetic Ester manufacturing
plant. We will be the first oil company in India to set up our own Ester plant, which is
expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of FY 2023-2024. With this
commissioning, Savita will become the only company in the world to manufacture and market
all three classes of insulating fluids viz. mineral oil based, bio-based, and synthetic
ester based. Manufacturing synthetic ester-based oils will offer a quantum leap in terms
of fire safety for transformers apart from the products being more environmentally
friendly as well as offering superior service life.
We have also floated a 100% subsidiary - Savita GreenTec Limited during the year for
the purpose of upscaling and recycling plastics and other allied areas. Our subsidiary,
Savita GreenTec Limited is in an advanced stage of acquiring land. The first phase of the
project is expected to start by December, 2024.
Moreover, we have undertaken various environmental initiatives at our manufacturing
units like energy conservation and rainwater harvesting among others as part of our
circular economy initiatives. Additionally, we also regularly contribute to CSR programmes
to nurture the communities we serve.
Our various sustainable initiatives will help herald a new era for Savita's growth as a
responsible corporate citizen offering futuristic products while strengthening our
portfolio and competitiveness over the long term.
WAY FORWARD
We will continue to invest in unique business building initiatives across our verticals
to unlock growth opportunities within our segment and economy. We will continue our focus
on strengthening our OEM partnerships to drive joint value creation and growth.
As I conclude, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders for their
unwavering trust and support in your Company's endeavour to consistently deliver value.
As a New Financial Year unfolds, we aspire to reach even greater heights, buoyed by
your steadfast support.
Warm Regards,
Gautam N. Mehra
Chairman and Managing Director.
