MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Industry outlook

 

The in-vitro Diagnostic industry in India has maintained its positive growth momentum of 13-15% and considering the general positive sentiments in Indian economy it will continue to display similar growth. At product level, industry is at cross roads and ample opportunities have become visible for expansion in instrument based diagnosis as well as non-instrumental tests. The company is strong in non-instrumental tests and now will also be focusing on instrument-reagent bundling along with addition of new products in both categories.

 

As growth opportunities in the developed countries are limited, focus on India and China has increased tremendously and more companies are coming out with India-centric products and strategies. This poses threat as well as opening lot of avenues for market expansion.

 

Operations review

 

Sales and Other income for the year increased to Rs.818.728 millions (Rs.695.614 millions in 2008-09) showing a growth of 17.70% over previous year. During the year, the company has executed tenders aggregating to Rs.280.000 millions under various domestic and international programs to fight AIDS and Malaria.

 

During this year the company has registered an all time high sales as well as profit. This reflects improved performance of the company particularly on account of increase in productivity and optimization of cost. Considering increase in demand of the product, pending orders on hand and with stringent regulatory norms, company will be required to make significant capital expense during the coming year. Company has also made significant gain in the new products launched during last 2 years and look forward to continue the momentum.

 

The company continues to get valued support from government by getting opportunity to participate in their programs. This trend is likely to be continued in year 2010-11 with orders currently on hand worth Rs.240.000 millions.
