Managing director of the company, Mr. Anil Jain said “The year FY14 was a year of consolidation for us. After change in business model in FY13, this was the first full year of operation under new model .The farmers have accepted the new business model and MIS in Maharastra has taken back to growth. Export has contributed a lot in the growth and shall continue to do so in the future. The company has healthy order book position for coming year. Post elections internal situation has become more stable and predictable. With new Government’s agenda of promotion of micro irrigation and food processing industries, growth shall accelerate. These two segments account for 57 % of Jain’s FY14 revenue and 75 % of its FY14 EBITDA. Stable government would likely lead to a stable or appreciating rupee, which could reverse some MTM write downs.

We have already brought down our receivables significantly. We are confident that in FY 15, we shall continue positive growth momentum while further improving our receivable levels. The Company plans to improve its debt equity ratios and finance cost through better management of working capital.

We will have to remain watchful of polymer prices, energy costs and rupee exchange movements which have direct impact on our margins. It is said that El-Nino weather system has developed. This season it may impact our business. We will know more about it in the next few weeks. We feel drip irrigation is the only effective solution for millions small farmers against climate change. Also at policy level, the challenges such as agriculture productivity to food inflation and income security for small farmers have to be central focus of new government .We look forward to FY15 with renewed vigor and full of confidence, We feel second half of the year would be more stronger as compared to first half due to multitude of factors.

We continue to abide by our motto “More Crop per Drop” TM.
