related machinery. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs.
88.53 crores, which will be funded by a Term Loan of Rs. 63 crores and
cash accruals of Rs. 25.53 crores. Major portion of the Term Loan has
been tied up and efforts are on to obtain sanction of the balance

GENERAL REVIEW
The market recovered during the year leading to an increase in overall
demand that resulted in improved realizations. Presently, the market
has become sluggish but revival in the near term is expected.
Availability of labour continues to remain a matter of concern and your
management has taken proactive measures to overcome the situation. At
Baddi, additional labour quarters have been constructed for female
workers.
Prices of all varieties of man-made fibers remained volatile during the
course of the year. The recent budget increased the Excise Duty by 2%,
thereby raising the overall cost of raw materials.
Expansion as well as modernisation has been undertaken at both the
units at a total cost of Rs. 110 crores. This cost will be met by term
loans of Rs. 73 crore which has already been sanctioned by our bankers,
State Bank of India and the balance by internal accruals. The
implementation of the same is in progress. It will lead to increased
production and a higher turnover resulting in better profitability.
Your Directors have decided to set up a one megawatt capacity solar
power generation facility in Madhya Pradesh at an expected cost of Rs.
10 crores under the REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) mechanism, which
will be eligible for fiscal incentive fo 100% depreciation in the first
