Operation

 

Despite stiff competition in furniture industry due to new players having come into the market the company has managed to achieve a increase of 12 % in turnover of Rs. 80.1 millions as compared to Rs. 71.7 millions in the earlier year. The Net profit after interest and Depreciation has decreased from 3.76 millions to    229.1 millions. This is mainly on account of reduced margins due to competition and also on account of losses in the newly opened Ahmedabad Branch due to lower Sale than expected. During the current the current year the company has closed down operation in Ahmedabad and has stared offering new products like kitchen Units etc in its existing units at Santacruz and Kandivli which it fills would lead to increased sales and in turn profitability.
