REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Fertilizer & Chemicals Division:
The introduction of the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) policy of the
Government of India w.e.f. 1st May, 2011 is a welcome step. Pursuant to
the NBS Policy, Company expects healthy growth in the demand for
fertilizers, especially SSP, complex fertilizers & customized
fertilizers, on the back of promotion of a more balanced nutrient consumption.
The Single Super Phosphate fertilizer is a generic customized
fertilizer containing sulphur, calcium & other micro nutrients besides
phosphate.
The Nutrient Base Subsidy (NBS) is a long term positive for Fertilizer
Industry with free market mechanism encouraging more interaction
between producers and farmers for efficient use of fertilizer for
better agricultural output.
We are confident that in a rational subsidy scheme, the SSP industry
shall benefit the most resulting in higher availability of this
generic customized fertilizer for Indian farmers at competitive prices
with no extra cost to exchequer.
During the year 2010-11, the Company produced 433393 MT
(previous year 332543 MT) Single Super Phosphate and sold 451067
MT (previous year 244520 MT) which was highest ever production
and sales by the Company.
The Companys net profit (after tax) for the year is Rs. 3145.65 Lacs,
which is not only highest but also exceeds the total of last 4 years,
despite not so good performance of the Soya Division.
The Company is determined to perform better in the current year and
achieve a higher capacity utilization.
Soya Division:
The Company is continuing with its cautious approach while
considering speculative fluctuations in the market and negligible
upfront crushing margin. The Company is adequately leveraging its
position by hedging its inventories to counter the high volatility.
During the year, the Company has crushed 42541 MT (previous year
12135 MT) Soybean seed including 10551 MT (previous year NIL)
through Job work basis

Rs.2.40 per equity share for the year 2010-2011 as compared to

Memorandum and Article of Association of the Company recommend
