Report:
The production at Chinchwad plant was suspended, from December, 2008
due to the major recession in the automobile industry. In May, 2009 a
lock out had to be declared at the plant, because of labour unrest.
Since there was no manufacturing activity at the plant and in order to
settle the workmen''s dues, which were overburdening the Company''s
financials, the assets of the Chinchwad plant were disposed of.
As far as Accumulated losses, these were mainly due to the absence of
revenue from the manufacturing operations, and the expenses incurred on
settlement of the workmen''s and other statutory dues. With regard to
the Debt Assignment, the Board of Directors after due consideration and
based on the commercial viability, decided to assign the debt.
