TRADE PROSPECT AND OUTLOOK

As reported in the previous annual report the performance during the year under review was strained. The spinning industry faced unprecedented problems in many fronts. The inconsistent policy followed by Government of India on the export of cotton pushed the cost of cotton consumed during the year to highest level. The restrictions placed by Government on the export of yarn lowered the yarn price. There was no parity between the cost of cotton consumed and yarn prices. The power availability from State grid was low. Mills to maintain capacity utilization were compelled to buy power from third parties at high cost. The measures taken by Reserve Bank of India to contain the inflation pushed up the cost of borrowing to higher level. This has resulted in poor performance of all mills and your mill was not an exception.

CURRENTYEAR

The performance during the current year is showing improvement. The cotton price remained steady and the yam prices also remain at reasonable level. Your Directors are doing their best to maintain the performance at a reasonable level.
