The consolidated revenue witnessed a growth of 22.20%, soaring to Rs 79.31 crore from Rs 64.90 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year.

EBITDA margins also improved significantly to 10.52% in Q1FY24 as against 8.26% in the corresponding period last year.

Mr. Chandrakant Patel, the CMD of Ice Make Refrigeration Limited, shared his insights on the Company's success, "There are two key factors among others that are working in our favor. ICE Make has now been recognized as a well-established innovative brand with a growing market share, maintaining a remarkable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of almost 50% in the last two years. Additionally, strong growth opportunities in India are fueling the demand for our products."

 

Mr. Patel further emphasized, "Given the strong long-term growth opportunities, including increased attention on the manufacturing sector in India, the outlook for our business moving forward is promising. We currently boast a robust order book and leads totalling Rs 120 crore, positioning us to sustain an annual growth rate of 30% or higher."

 

The Company has recently achieved a significant milestone by securing its largest work order to date. The West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation Limited (WBLDCL), a government-owned entity dedicated to the development and promotion of livestock in West Bengal, has awarded Ice Make Refrigeration Limited a contract worth INR 65.48 Crore.

 

With a strong foothold as one of India's top RefrigerationSolution Provider and Machinery Manufacturers, this substantial work order marks a significant stride forward for ICE Make as an established brand. The Company's diverse product portfolio and business verticals continue to capture market share, complemented by the successful commissioning of our new manufacturing facility 'ICEBEST' in West Bengal. This state-of-the-art facility not only augments production capacity but also provides a substantial cost advantage in the market.

 

Mr. Patel concluded by highlighting the Company's comprehensive presence in all refrigeration segments, including Cold Room Storage, Ammonia Refrigeration, Industrial Refrigeration, Commercial Refrigeration, and Transport Refrigeration. He stated, "With a robust demand for innovative cooling and cold chain storage solutions, both in India and various overseas markets, Ice Make is strategically positioned to capitalize on these opportunities."
