The dividend if declared at the ensuing Annual General Meeting, will involve a payout of Rs. 302.91 lacs and will be payable to those members whose names appear in the Register of Members as on date of the Annual General Meeting.

Future Prospects :

After the annus horribilis of FY09, the financial markets staged a remarkable turnaround in FY10 on account of the ongoing stabilization of the global financial and economic systems and consequent pick-up in risk appetite across the various financial market participants. The Indian securities markets were a significant beneficiary of the global trend of bull run in financial markets.

There was significant activity in capital raising activity in the domestic markets. In 11 months from April 2009 to February 2010, there were 117 issues raising Rs. 83,240 crore from primary market compared to Rs. 14,268 crore raised through 44 issues during April 2008 to February 2009. Amount raised through QIP during 11 months were significantly higher at Rs.41,133 crore compared to meager Rs.189 crore done during previous financial year. Thus there was a substantial increase in risk appetite of institutional players.

There were 38 public issues during April-February 2010 raising Rs.37,125 crore compared to 21 public issues raising Rs.2,082 crore during the previous year. There were total 21 Rights issue collecting Rs. 4,982 crore compared to collecting of Rs. 11,997 crore through 21 Rights issues in the previous year. Thus investors were welcoming new business ideas and did prefer to support existing businesses.

Increased activity in the secondary market improved the flow of funds into mutual fund investments also. Equity oriented mutual funds have seen inflow of Rs.182,811 crore in 11 months April-February 2010 compared to Rs.38,210 crore recorded in previous year. Many of the corporate projects that had been deferred due to slowdown in demand last year have witnessed resumption.

Most market participants expect that the current rally will continue in the near-term. The continued growth of the markets will be dependent on the aggregate global macro-environment (especially the acceleration of growth momentum in face of the ongoing normalization of fiscal and monetary policies in the developed world) and governments initiative to divest stake in various PSUs and invest in infrastructure and urbanization projects.
