The last financial period of fifteen months was marked by unimaginable
and unexpected global downturn in the solar photovoltaic industry
mainly due to the crisis in Europe and the sharp decline in the sales
realisations. At the same time, the industry was more so affected
because of the historic devaluation of the Indian currency against the
US Dollars. These factors had an impact on your Company also and as
such the capacity was underutilised.
During the fifteen months period under review your company reported a
total income of 13,520.40 Lacs against 18,478.75 Lacs during the last
accounting period for nine months. After providing Rs. 1995.50 Lacs
towards depreciation and Rs. 3,175.00 lacs towards interest, the company
suffered a loss of Rs. 22,480.77 Lacs during 2011-12 as compared to a
profit ofRs. 528.78 Lacs in 2010-11. The heavy losses resulted in severe
liquidity crisis making it difficult to service the debts and this
prompted your Company to approach its lenders to restructure the
existing debts.
