The company is a mini cement manufacturer that has accelerated its pace of growth through expansion and acquisition. During the year necessary steps have been initiated in this direction.

 

Capacity Expansion and Acquisition 

 

The Financial year 2006-07 has been good year for the company. They have been there since 1993 as a mini cement plant, Several / substantial additional mini cement manufacturing companies / capacities came in to existence in India at that time. Unfortunately all of these came up at a time when there was shrinkage demand for cement. This resulted in severe hardship to the mini cement manufacturing industry. As a consequence 90 % of them closed down / become sick. The company is one of the few among the cement manufacturers in the country that survived through severely bad times. They have been through and seen it all.

 

Along with came as opportunity for acquisition of  a sick cement unit nearby the existing unit. The directors have taken a very futuristic view of the industry and bidded for the same.

 

The company had funded the acquisition by unsecured loans from promoters and bank borrowing taking advantages of the good dents equity ratio. The part benefits from the above expansion and acquisition will start getting reflected in the top line and bottom-line growth by the end of this year

Change of Name

 

The Company manufacturers and sells cement under the brand name “Jyoti” cements. The Board of Directors feel that the present name of the company is too generic an its does not capture and core area of operations nor the brand name of  the product. Also as per description above about the merger of the group construction company into the present company, it has been decided to change the name of the company to “Jyoti Cement and Infra Limited”. The new name would better reflect the brand and the business of the company.
