3. Future Outlook
The fiscal year 2022-23 marked a significant milestone for Bansal Roofing Products Ltd. with the successful completion of the second phase of our new unit. This expansion increased our manufacturing area to approximately 76,000 sq ft, enabling us to produce up to 1,500 MT* of rollforming products and 500 MT* of pre-engineered buildings (PEB). Building on this momentum, the construction of the third phase is currently underway, financed solely through our internal cash accruals.

Additionally, we are set to commence the fourth phase of construction, covering approximately 17,000 sq ft, with an expected completion by October 2024.
