COST DEVELOPMENTS

 

During the year 2013, the economy witnessed upward movement in overall cost structure and volatile foreign exchange rates. However, the Company implemented cost optimisation initiatives which helped in containing inflationary impact to some extent.

 

MAJOR COST MOVEMENTS

 

Cost of major raw material, fly ash, increased by 7% on per tonne basis. However, strategy to change in mix of gypsum resulted in cost decrease by 2% on per tonne basis. Overall, the absolute raw material cost decreased by approx. 6% over the previous year including the impact of lower volumes.

OUTLOOK

 

REFORMS FOR AN ECONOMIC REVIVAL

 

THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

Economic growth accelerated to 4.8% in the second fiscal quarter from 4.4% in the first due to higher output in both industry and agriculture and a rebound in exports. However, it is less likely that they will see a complete turnaround in the economy as the domestic demand remains weak and both consumption and investment continue to grow sluggishly. They expect growth to remain soft in the first quarter of year 2014 owing to delayed investment announcements in the run-up to general elections. Further, it is expected to be supported by export recovery and likely sustained growth in capital expenditure after the second quarter of FY2014, once political stability has been re-established.

 

They expect the Indian economy to grow at 5% during year 2014 and driven by India’s strong economic fundamentals - high saving and investment rates, rapid workforce growth, a quickly expanding middle class, and the start of a shift from low-productivity agriculture to high productivity manufacturing. However, given the country’s large external financing needs, domestic expansion will be affected by the global availability of capital.

 

Economic growth could exceed their forecasts if the Administration’s reform efforts are sustained, infrastructural development accelerates and the government enjoys success in its bid to develop a labour-intensive manufacturing sector in India.
