Mahesh Chhabria, Managing Director, KIL, said, “We are delighted to announce our fourth quarter and full year results. This quarter marks a significant milestone as Avante Spaces Limited (ASL), our 100% subsidiary in Real Estate business has recognized revenue from its first project “One Avante” in Kothrud, which is now reflected in our consolidated performance. ASL is now focused on executing the second project on time despite challenges in the labor market and approval delays. Due to the challenges faced by our subsidiary Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd. (KFIL), on account of subdued demand in the tractor industry and lower Pig Iron realization, we saw a dip of ~1.5% in our consolidated revenue from operations. Additionally, the KFIL-ISMT merger is progressing well and is expected to be completed soon.”
