Balance Sheet Strength and Asset Management
Sayaji’s balance sheet reveals a robust increase in shareholder’s funds, which rose from ₹45.08 crores in March 2023 to ₹62.40 crores in March 2025. This growth was supported by a significant rise in reserves, reaching ₹59.36 crores by March 2025. The company’s total liabilities expanded to ₹125.89 crores in March 2025 from ₹88.20 crores in March 2023, primarily due to increased long-term borrowings of ₹13.02 crores and short-term borrowings of ₹16.33 crores, reflecting strategic financing to support expansion.
Capital work in progress surged markedly to ₹39.81 crores in March 2025 from just ₹0.91 crores in March 2023, indicating ongoing investments in capacity or infrastructure. Net block assets remained stable around ₹72 crores, while total assets grew to ₹125.89 crores, highlighting asset base expansion aligned with business growth.
Despite a negative net current asset position of approximately ₹20 crores, the company managed its working capital efficiently, supported by steady cash flow from operations which increased to ₹24 crores in March 2025 from ₹17 crores in the prior year. However, cash and bank balances showed a decline to ₹0.24 crores in March 2025, down from ₹2.58 crores in March 2024, reflecting increased capital expenditure and financing activities.
Cash Flow and Earnings Per Share
Cash flow analysis reveals that Sayaji generated a positive cash flow after changes in working capital of ₹28 crores in March 2025, a significant improvement from ₹3 crores in March 2023.

Financing activities contributed a modest ₹3 crores in the latest year.
Earnings per share (EPS) demonstrated volatility, with a peak of ₹34.66 in March 2025, recovering from a dip to ₹23.54 in March 2024. This reflects the company’s ability to sustain profitability amid fluctuating market conditions and operational costs.

Summary and Investor Considerations
Overall, Sayaji (Indore) has exhibited a commendable historical performance characterised by steady revenue growth, improved operating margins, and a strengthening equity base.
