Management Discussion and Analysis
Industry Overview:
Polymer Based Packaging Industry has now matured over past 25 years in
this country. The industry was initially progressed in 1970 era in the
developed economies like US & EU. Many fold increase in the cost of
wages has forced the industry to shift its base to the satellite
countries like Mexico & other South American countries for the US
Market and East European countries for the European Market. This shift
took place during 1985 to 1995. With increase in popularity in the
NAFTA agreement and the formation of "European Union" the wages in
these satellite countries went through the roof and highly labour
oriented packaging industry once again started looking for the New
Place to settle.
This was the same period when India experienced the "Polymer
Revolution".
Scope and Global Opportunity:
In the past three years Company has set a very strong base across the
globe and has reached a level where the Company can reap the fruits for
all the hard work put in developing the product line and distributor
network across the world. The global demand of the raffia sector, which
is a principal focus product line of the Company, will show a
tremendous growth in years to come.

product "Canal Liner" in the Goki Irrigation Project in the State of
Maharashtra and the product is tested and approved by the Department of
Irrigation Government of Maharashtra.
With the Completion of Phase 1 Expansion of the Expansion project
Company will be in. position to commercially reap the fruits of past
two years of its longdrawn research.
Company was able to main the sale of its bags through the Rural weekly
markets also secured the sale of 0.5 % of total domestic revenue
through its rural initiative.
The base product produced by the Company remains as the "Technical
Textile". For this Base Product, value added usages are under
development by the Company and may be developed along with the users as
well. Presently, the Company is involved in producing various types of
packaging material for the Domestic as well as Export Markets. In
Domestic market, your Company remains one of the most active players
for the packaging needs of the FMCG products such as Detergent Powder,
Branded Salt and Branded Wheat flour etc. In recent years, the Company
has acquired substantial share in the export markets for the various
packaging needs for products like Construction Aggregates, Chemicals,
Seeds, Fertilizers, and Cement & Food Grains etc.
