The year was characterized by sustained rise in inflation, as a result
of a sharp increase in the prices of commodities. This was further
exacerbated by the supply side constraints and increased borrowing
costs. Rising interest rates, heavy taxation and soaring costs of raw
materials and production cost has brought the real estate sector under
pressure in the last financial year. Despite of all these odds, your
company could achieve a gross turnover of Rs. 7919.08 lacs as against
Rs. 8830.87 lacs during the previous year.
For a detailed analysis of the performance of the company for the year
under review, please refer to Management''s Discussion and Analysis
section of the Annual Report.
