Market Outlook
Commenting on the financial performance, Mr. Chandrakant Patel, CMD of Ice Make Refrigeration Limited, expressed confidence in the company’s trajectory despite prevailing market challenges.

“The company has showcased resilience and strong performance this quarter, reflecting our efforts in market expansion and growing demand for our diverse product offerings. Our revenue growth on both standalone and consolidated levels highlights the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. We have also achieved quarter-on-quarter improvements in EBITDA margins, demonstrating enhanced operational efficiency.” said Mr. Patel.

Mr. Patel acknowledged the slight year-over-year decline in PAT margin, attributing it to increased cost pressures primarily due to additional manpower required for a new project.

However, he reassured stakeholders that strategic cost management initiatives are being implemented to mitigate these short-term impacts and enhance profitability in the upcoming quarters.

Ice Make’s robust revenue growth highlights its strong market position and the sustained demand for its wide range of refrigeration solutions. The company’s focus on innovation and product diversification has been pivotal in driving consistent sales performance. With ongoing efforts to optimize the cost structure and expand its market reach, Ice Make is well-positioned to maintain its growth momentum in upcoming quarters.

“We are committed to delivering sustainable growth, enhancing profitability, and expanding our market presence through continuous innovation and operational excellence,” Mr. Patel added. He also emphasized Ice Make’s extensive portfolio across various refrigeration segments, including Cold Room Storage, Ammonia Refrigeration, Industrial Refrigeration, Commercial Refrigeration, and Transport Refrigeration. “With the increasing demand for advanced cooling and cold chain storage solutions in both domestic and international markets, Ice Make is strategically positioned to capitalize on these opportunities,” he concluded.
