LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Performance:

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.990.000 Millions against Rs.960.000 Millions in the previous year. The increase was mainly due to escalation in the cost of inputs. In the absence of corresponding increases in selling prices, the margins stand eroded. 

 
The Company's major customers viz. Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra have set up manufacturing facilities at Rudrapur in the state of Uttaranchal and they have directed the company to shift part of their manufacturing activities from Pune and Faridabad to Rudrapur. Although the customers have provided marginal assistance, the Company had to incur huge expenditure to erect sheds and structures and shift part of their plant to Rudrapur. 

 

 

Outlook:
 
Despite efforts taken by the Company to bring down cost of manufacture, continuous increase in the cost of raw material makes it’s impossible for the company to register higher profit margin. 

 
The Company expects a reasonable profit margin from its newly established unit at Rudrapur due to concessions offered by the Government in taxes and duties at Uttranchal. 

 

 

Registered Office:

 
The Company was having its registered office on a rental premises at 54, Facit Avenue, Old Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai - 600096. The owner of the premises requested the Company to vacate the premises and handover vacant position. Accordingly the Company vacated the premises and shifted its registered office to another place at No.5, Srinivasa Nagar, Kottivakkam, and Chennai 600096.
