MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK:
During the period under review there were tremendous growth shown in
the markets, GDP was much higher than earlier years. Further travel and
tourism industries are growing on rapidly. Realty sector growing
steadily.
Current scenario are very impressive there is lot of potential demand
for the next years.
2. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
Since the Company has started business in real estate sector, petroleum
sector and been engaged in to the service sector, the main concern of
the management is to provide best quality services to the customer.
Safety, discipline as to the timing, comfort is the main parameters.
Government policies and regional policies can affect the performance of
the company. New players are joining in the competition. Company is
planning to develop more area related to tourism, hotel business and
infrastructure facilities and in construction & real estate fields.
International market is very volatile now a days with respect to
petroleum products and real estate sector in India facing many
challenges for the new development.
3. INITIATIVES
As we know that the customers are becoming more quality conscious which
calls for continuous up gradation in the available methods and the
technology deployed which will yield better realization to the company.
The another niche for the Company is to maximum utilization of the
Parcel business which can earn maximum revenues to the company at a
negligible cost. Growing competition and drastic change of the life
style of the people thereby to constantly make better quality service
to satisfy the need of people is the concern of the management.
Since July 2006 the company has obtained dealership of fuel pump from
IOC with a view to tap additional profits from retail trading
activities in petroleum products as well as to meet its own fuel
requirement. Setting up of own fuel station for own consumption has
drastically reduced the cost of fuel consumption of the company which
is very well reflected the operating results.
Company planning to grab infrastructure development opportunities
related to real estate, travel and tourism.
4. RISKS AND CONCERNS;
The Company is engaged travel business and major fluctuation in the
price of the petroleum product having vital impact on the profitability
and performance. International market having great effect on increase
in the crude price and increase in dollar value against the rupee is
also a matter of concern. Realty sector in India has shown some slow
movements, market is becoming more steady and higher inflation rate
leads government to curb financial resources to realty sector.
5. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM:
The Company has adequate system of control implemented by the
management towards achieving efficiency in the operation, optimum
utilization of resources and effective monitoring thereof and
compliance with applicable laws.
6. HUMAN RESOURCES:
