LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PERFORMANCE OUTLOOK :

 

The total turnover during the year was lesser by 21.87% compared to previous year.

 

The Company’s Perchlorate Plant is functioning satisfactorily. One of the Company’s 250 KW wind turbine installed during 1990 failed forcing the Company to replace it by a new 250 KW machine which was commissioned in March last week.

 

The Company’s Subsidiary Mepco Industries Limited production is low due to delay in getting approval of Government Departments to run the plant at its full Capacity. However to meet the demand, the Company is importing Potassium Chlorate and selling it to the customers.

 

The Subsidiary Company’s plant at Karaikal was forced to suspend production since 7th July, 2009 due to seizure of its raw material and finished product by Puducherry Government Agriculture Department Officials. Consequent to getting order of the Madras High Court, the plant was recommissioned on 13th October, 2009.

 

The Company has contributed Rs. 39.537 millions to the Central/State Exchequers by way of Excise Duties, Sales Tax and Income Tax during the year. The Company has accepted deposits from the Members of Public amounting to Rs. 0.630 million (excluding accrued interest) as on 31st March 2010. There was no unclaimed deposit as at 31st March 2010.
