LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Review of operations: 

 
The Directors are pleased to report that operations in the laminate and plywood units recorded significant growth, which is evident in the financial figures of the Company. During the year under review, various productivity initiatives were undertaken for both the units and the result is also evident in the figures of production, sales and capacity utilisation. 


The Company's turnover increased from Rs.3082.209 Millions in 2005-06 to Rs.4695.246
Millions during the year under review. Correspondingly, the net profit rose to Rs. 225.232 Millions from Rs.140.854 Millions and exports, excluding export incentives, reached Rs. 350.862 Millions from Rs. 278.953 Millions

 

The Directors are also pleased to inform that the Company's new plywood and particle board unit in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, started commercial production of plywood and particle board from 2 May and 5 December 2006, respectively.

 

Outlook and expansion: 

 
In view of the positive trends in India's interior infrastructure segment and the growing demand, performance in 2007-08 is expected to be significantly better than in the past. 

 

The Company's outlook remains favourable on account of its product integration, growing popularity of its brand and continuous support from its employees, shareholders, creditors, consumers, dealers and lenders. 

 

The Company is carrying out its expansion project at the laminates unit in Behror, Rajasthan, and the unit is expected to commence commercial production in August 2007. 


The Directors are confident of achieving significantly better results in the coming years.

Outlook: 
 
According to a study by ASSOCHAM, the shortage of residential units in India was around 22.5 million units in the Tenth Plan. The incremental demand for office space in India is assessed to exceed 85 million sq. ft. between 2005 and 2008. The built-up mall area is likely to increase from 32.6 million sq. ft. in 2005 to 87.8 million sq. ft. in 2007; the number of malls is expected to increase from 100 to 350. These developments are expected to result in a growing demand for interior infrastructure products. The demand for these is already reflected in the fact that plywood prices touched an eight-year high in 2005 - a development expected to positively impact the results of the domestic plywood sector. Greenply will focus on realisations (value over volume) and exports over the foreseeable future. 

Industry review: 

 
Overview: 
 
Greenply is engaged in the manufacture, marketing and branding of laminates, plywood and particle board. These products constitute basic interior building materials responsible for residential and commercial space attractiveness, safety and security. 

 
The Company's fortunes are closely linked with national economic growth. India's GDP grew at 7.5 per cent in 2004-05, 8.4 per cent in 2005-06 and 9.4 per cent in 2006-07, represent some of the highest growth rates in the country's history. Consequently, the interior infrastructure industry is growing at higher-than-GDP rates. The Indian government expects GDP growth to touch double-digits by the end of the eleventh Five-Year Plan, which will further strengthen the demand for interior building products.
