MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUILDING PRODUCTS DIVISION

 

(a) Fibre Cement (FC) Sheets:

 

Considering the prevailing market condition, production of Fibre Cement (F.C) Sheets during the year 2010-11 was regulated with an intent to avoid stock build-up. Hence the actual production was lower by 16,514 M.T when compared to the previous year. However, Sales improved by 3% to 4,80,333 M.T. Turnover for F.C Sheets was marginally higher at Rs.3758.300 Millions during the Financial Year  as against Rs.37,44.100 Millions in the previous year.
