Good afternoon, everyone. We proceed -- before we proceed, let me remind you that this discussion may contain forward-looking statements that may involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. It must be viewed in conjunction with our business risks that could cause future result performance or achievement to differ significantly from what is expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Today, from the senior management of Shakti Pumps (India) Limited, we have with us Mr. Dinesh Patidar, Chairman; Mr. Ramesh Patidar, Managing Director; Mr. Dinesh Patel, Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Ravi Patidar, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.

Before I hand over the call to Mr. Dinesh Patidar for his remarks, I would like to give a brief overview about Shakti Pumps (India) Limited for those who might be joining first time in our call. Shakti Pumps (India) Limited is one of the leading integrated manufacturer of pumps, motors, controllers, VFDs and inverters in India. The company currently manufactures most of the critical components of the pump in-house and provides end-to-end solution in solar farms. The company has three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. With a rich legacy of over four decades, the company is led by Mr. Dinesh Patidar.

The company has made a strong presence in domestic market and also made a strong foothold in 100 countries globally. Shakti Pumps also has a strong focus and commitment to technology and R&D which is evident by the 15 patents it has received so far. The company's ability to manufacture the high-quality products on the back of it backward integrated manufacturing capabilities has translated into high acceptance of its products by the farmer, thereby increasing the installation of solar pumps.

The company is one of the largest supplier of the pumps with approximately 25% market share under the PM KUSUM scheme all over the India and also has a robust market share in the largest agriculture state in the country like Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The PM KUSUM scheme is pivotal government initiative designed to promote irrigation efficiencies in India by replacing the conventional diesel or electrical pumps with solar pumps.

This transition provides farmers with a reliable power supply, support micro irrigation and improve both crop yield and farmers' income. Additionally, farmers can also earn extra income by selling extra electricity back to the grid. PM KUSUM is the largest of the several government schemes encouraging solar pump adoption, benefits state governments and electricity boards by simplifying power supply management. It also reduces fossil fuel reliance and cuts green house gas emission contributing to a more sustainable economy.

In addition to PM KUSUM scheme, the company sells its products to governments through various other schemes and in the major exports markets also. The company has also diversified into manufacturing of electric controllers and motors for EV, securing pilot orders from OEMs.

In conclusion, Shakti Pumps (India) Limited stands at a testament to innovation, quality and sustainability in the pump manufacturing industry. As SPIL continues to invest in its growth and technology advancement, the company will continue to lead by example and ensure prosperity for farmers and all other stakeholders.

With that, I would like to hand over the call to Mr. Dinesh Patidar sir for the quarterly and other business highlights. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
