PERFORMANCE REVIEW:
During the year under review the Company has recorded a lower Income
from operations & other income of Rs. 13776.33 as compared to Rs.
16959.54 lacs of previous year, which has been mainly on account of
lower production due to sluggish demand and pertaining market
conditions. As a result, the Company earned a lower net profit after
tax of Rs.227.60 lacs as compared to Rs. 259.51 lacs in the previous
year. The Company expects to show better financial performance during
the current year as compared to that of the year under report.
INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC SCENARIO:
India's steel industry is passing through one of the most challenging
phases. It has been impacted by sluggish domestic demand, Iron ore
supply constraints coupled with strong domestic Iron ore prices,
dumping of steel into India by steel- surplus countries, primarily
China, Russia, Japan and Korea and uncompetitive Steel export due to
stable rupee. The Indian economy, supported by lower oil prices,
improved FDI inflows and pro-growth economic reforms, saw a moderate
improvement in growth momentum during financial year 2014-15; some of
the key macroeconomic Indicators also strengthened over the year. The
Indian economic growth improved to 7.3% in financial year 2014-15 as
compared to 6.9% in financial year 2013-14. However, the Indian economy
will need some time to recover and show positive results on ground. The
new government is focusing on implementing reforms to spur investments
and re-energise the economy for Infrastructure development and
Industrial growth, which will accelerate steel demand in line with
economic growth.
EXPORTS:
We are pleased to inform you that during the year under review, the
Company continued to export its products to African Countries. Due to
