Comments :

Subject is a well-established and reputed company of B.K. Birla Group,

one of the largest industrial houses in the country.

 

Financial position is satisfactory but the company’s profitability

 is under severe pressure since last 2 years.  Payments to local suppliers are reported as slow. However, payments to overseas suppliers are met in time.

 

The profitability of the company in the current year has not perceptibly improved due to continued economic slow down and recession particularly in cement and viscose filament yarn.
