OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR

 

The company registered 40% growth during the period 2004-05 on an annualized basis over the previous year.  This growth was possible with increases in volumes and market shares on existing products.  After Market sales was relatively lower during the year under report.  However the supplies to OE and OES segments increased considerably.  The company achieved improvements in productivity with better capacity utilisation.  Input cost mainly steel witnessed a steep increase during the year and the company took measures to mitigate the impact on account of this increase.
