INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The Indian economy has emerged rapidly from the slowdown caused by the
global financial crisis of 2007-09 and remains one of the fastest
growing economies of the world. After dipping to 6.8% in 2008-09, GDP
growth had recovered sharply to 8% and is projected to remain above
this level in 2010-11. Economic and financial events over the year,
however, have increased concerns about the sustainability of the growth
momentum.
The global economic and financial situation is recovering slowly. The
large fiscal deficits and high debt ratios coupled with slow economic
growth have created unsettling conditions for business and have
potential for causing great volatility in financial markets. It is hard
to visualize strong economic growth in the advanced economies in 2010
and to a large extent in 2011. The implications of this, for India''s
strategy to return to the 9.0 per cent growth trajectory, are that
public policy must promote business confidence and facilitate increased
investment.
Apart from above, high current account deficit, particularly in the
context of weakening capital inflows, was also a cause of concern,
which has hitherto managed to compensate the rising trade deficit. The
current account deficit was a manifestation of strong domestic demand
and global weakness. This pressure has abated
somewhat during the past few months, with rise in exports and slowing
(non-oil) imports. However, a strong rebound in India''s exports over
the past couple of months has considerably reduced the pressure, but
India''s overall balance of payments remains weaker than expected,
putting pressure on the Rupee.
OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
The Fundamental drives of India''s medium term growth prospects remain
intact. However, global developments, in conjunction with Indian Policy
responses to the concerns noted above, are likely to make 2011-12 a
challenging year.
Global economic and financial conditions can be expected to remain
adverse for some time, particularly in the aftermath of Japan''s natural
disaster. Once the current financial year and commodity volatility
subsides, deeper structural factors are likely to slow down economic
growth, particularly in developed economics. Fiscal consolidation in
Europe and an excess supply overhang in the US will probably moderate
growth in the second half, together with increasing expectations of
policy rate rise to quell rising inflation.
In India, inflationary pressure are likely to persist and hence result
in a further, though moderate, monetary policy tightening the impact of

The Directors have pleasure in presenting the Annual Report of your
Company together with the Audited Statements of Accounts for the year
ended March 31, 2011.
OPERATION AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
Your Directors report that the working of the Company for the year
under review has resulted in a Profit of Rs. 28510.88/- (after tax)
DIVIDEND
In view of nominal profits during the year & for better prospective &
expansion, your Directors do not propose any Dividend for the year
under review.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The Indian economy has emerged rapidly from the slowdown caused by the
global financial crisis of 2007-09 and remains one of the fastest
growing economies of the world. After dipping to 6.8% in 2008-09, GDP
growth had recovered sharply to 8% and is projected to remain above
this level in 2010-11. Economic and financial events over the year,
however, have increased concerns about the sustainability of the growth
momentum.
The global economic and financial situation is recovering slowly. The
large fiscal deficits and high debt ratios coupled with slow economic
growth have created unsettling conditions for business and have
potential for causing great volatility in financial markets. It is hard
to visualize strong economic growth in the advanced economies in 2010
and to a large extent in 2011. The implications of this, for India''s
strategy to return to the 9.0 per cent growth trajectory, are that
public policy must promote business confidence and facilitate increased
investment.
Apart from above, high current account deficit, particularly in the
context of weakening capital inflows, was also a cause of concern,
which has hitherto managed to compensate the rising trade deficit. The
current account deficit was a manifestation of strong domestic demand
and global weakness. This pressure has abated somewhat during the past
few months, with rise in exports and slowing (non-oil) imports.
However, a strong rebound in India''s exports over the past couple of
months has considerably reduced the pressure, but India''s overall
balance of payments remains weaker than expected, putting pressure on
the Rupee.
OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
The Fundamental drives of India''s medium term growth prospects remain
intact. However, global developments, in conjunction with Indian Policy
responses to the concerns noted above, are likely to make 2010-11 a
challenging year.
Global economic and financial conditions can be expected to remain
adverse for some time, particularly in the aftermath of Japan''s natural
disaster. Once the current financial year and commodity volatility
subsides, deeper structural factors are likely to slow down economic
growth, particularly in developed economics. Fiscal consolidation in
Europe and an excess supply overhang in the US will probably moderate
growth in the second half, together with increasing expectations of
policy rate rise to quell rising inflation.
In India, inflationary pressure are likely to persist and hence result
in a further, though moderate, monetary policy tightening the impact of
which will be increasingly visible, through rising borrowing costs, in
fiscal 2011. Increasing savings, high interest rates, an expected lower
rise in currency driven by lower food prices, are likely to help
deposits to grow stronger in fiscal 2011. However, in light of
inflationary pressures and rising interest rates, there is a likelihood
that the credit growth momentum might slow in 2010-11.
