Maha Rashtra Apex Corporation is pivoting from its legacy asset recovery focus to initiate a new business line in the marketing and distribution of Kiri/Paulownia timber.

This move aims to establish a distribution network for timber traders and furniture manufacturers ahead of future plantation harvests. Given the company's current TTM revenue of just ‹2 Cr, this diversification represents a significant strategic shift, though no financial projections were provided.
