OVERALL REVIEW
Overall, 2013-14 has been a satisfying year; there is an increase of
19.27% in the turnover of the Company. The Profit before depreciation
and tax has increased by 3.06% while the Net Profit has increased by
6.52%. The Indian cables market is highly competitive and fragmented
with a large number of cable manufacturers in both organized and
unorganized sectors. Moreover, with major capacity additions by larger
players, and sluggish demand for cables due to economic downturn, the
revenues and margins of all the players have been adversely impacted.
Although, the Company has adopted adequate cost control measures
throughout the year, but due to increase in competition, net Profit did
not increase as compared to increase in turnover. The Company was
aggressive in its quest for new contracts, executed on its full
services strategy and maintained pricing disciplines. This helped to
deliver a decent revenue growth along the year with improvement in
margins. Your Company continues to focus on production of quality
cables to broaden its customer base and to set a benchmark in the
competitive market. With the expectation of the stable new government
in place at centre, the long term outlook of cable industry is expected
favorable, driven by Power Sector Reform, Modernization of Railway and

22.86% in the turnover of the Company. The total income (i.e. the

along the year with improvement in margins. Your Company continues to
focus on production of quality cables to broaden its customer base and

view that the profits earned during the year must be retained and
redeployed for the operations of the Company.
