Performance Overview

The performance of the Company during 2010-11 was largely on expected lines and well on the projected recovery track. The strong macro environment, especially the huge upsurge in demand both in the automotive and real estate sectors has further helped your Company to gather stronger momentum during the year.

However, owing to capacity mis-match there were locational demand supply imbalances, due to which the Company had to incur huge expenditure on premium freight and sacrifice some operating efficiencies to ensure that customer demands are met consistently.

As a result of the above, the net sales of the Company increased 20.23% from Rs. 1,26,273 Lakhs in 2009-10 to Rs.1,51,821 Lakhs in 2010-11. Operating profit has increased 8.77% from Rs. 25,052 Lakhs in the previous year to Rs. 27,248 Lakhs in 2010-11. The Company posted the profit after tax (PAT) of Rs. 1,515 Lakhs in 2010-11 as against profit after tax of Rs. 123 Lakhs in the previous year.
