Market and Shareholder Impact

POCL Enterprises' shares have recorded outstanding returns of 50.63% in the last six months and nearly 288% in the last one year, ahead of its sector as well as the overall market indices such as the BSE, NSE and Sensex.
The firm recently recommended a 35% final dividend, which reiterates its focus on shareholder value.

Strategic Sector Position

The metals business, such as lead and zinc products, continues to be the growth driver with 65% revenues contribution in H1 FY25 and 163% growth between FY22 and FY24.

POCL's plan to expand its Kanchipuram plant is aligned with its strategy to take advantage of growing domestic and global demand for non-ferrous metals and metallic oxides.
