Outlook:
Driven by a strong growth in all the three sectors of the economy - agriculture, industry and services - India's GDP grew by a robust 8.9% yoy in H1 F2011. As per current forecasts, the economy is likely to register a creditable 8.5 to 8.7% growth for the fiscal year as a whole. While the demand for your Company's products remains robust, the recent hardening in the prices of commodities and oil causes a degree of concern. The measures adopted by the Reserve Bank to combat inflation will necessarily result in tighter liquidity and further possibility of interest costs moving upwards. Your Company will continue to be ever vigilant in its effort to relentlessly fight these cost pressures. On the whole the Company remains positive in its future outlook.
