REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
After obtaining physical possession of the factory the Management carried out repairs
and maintenance activities and started trial production in May 2019.
Commercial Production was started from October 2019. During the year under review, the
turnover of the Company was Rs. 9570.46 Lakhs as against Rs. 7812.03 Lakhs in previous
year. Company has incurred loss of Rs. 484.12 Lakhs as against loss of Rs. 688.05 Lakhs in
previous year. Further Management is actively involved in trying to utilize the idle
capacities available with the Company and reduction of raw material cost.
The cost of materials consumed by the company increased significantly to 7,505.03 lakhs
from 5,886.54 lakhs in the previous fiscal year. This rise in costs is reflective of the
broader trend in the industry, where mills are grappling with high cotton prices, which
constitute the major input cost.
Additionally, energy costs, another significant expense in the spinning industry, have
also seen upward pressure due to increased charges from MSEDCL.
