Asian Granito India Ltd.

We were incorporated on August 8, 1995, as Karnavati Fincap Private
 Limited, 
 for carrying on the business of a non-banking financial company, by
 Mr. Satish 
 Panchariya and Mr. Arun Panchariya. On August 29, 1995, we became a
 public 
 limited company and were renamed Karnavati Fincap Limited.
 Thereafter, our line 
 of business changed from finance to trading in cloth and on March 18,
 1999, we 
 were accordingly renamed Panchariya Textile Industries Limited.
 Subsequently, on 
 July 28, 2000, we wererenamed Vasudev Textile Industries Limited.
 Pursuant to an 
 acquisition by Mr. Kamleshbhai Patel, Mr. Hasmukhbhai Patel and Mr.
 Mukeshbhai 
 Patel, the promoters of Asian Tiles Limited, we received a fresh
 certificate of 
 incorporation on November 25, 2002, resulting in a change of our name
 to Asian 
 Granito India Limited. Our Company was incorporated with its
 registered office at 14, 
 Amar Chambers, 1st floor, Reid Road, Railwaypura, Ahmedabad - 380
 002. It was 
 further changed to 704 A/B, Sahajanand, Shahibaug Road, Shahibaug,
 Ahmedabad - 
 380 004 and back to 14, Amar Chambers, 1st floor, Reid Road,
 Railwaypura, Ahmedabad -
 380 002. On change of name to Asian Granito India Limited, the
 registered office was 
 shifted to 3rd floor, Empire Tower, B/H. Associate Petrol Pump,
 Panchwati, Ellise Bridge, 
 Ahmedabad - 380 006 and then to 2nd Floor, Beside Rajpath Club,
 Sarkhej - Gandhinagar 
 Highway Road, Ahmedabad - 380 054.
 
 In September 2002, the promoters of Asian Tiles Limited, a ceramic
 floor tiles 
 manufacturing unit in Idar, Gujarat, set up in 2000, took over the
 management of our 
 Company from our erstwhile promoters Mr. Ratnaram Rabari, Mr. Vijay
 Mehta and Mr. 
 Harish Jarmanwala by taking over our entire shareholding, for setting
 up a new industrial
 undertaking for manufacturing vitrified tiles at Dalpur village,
 Sabarkantha district, Gujarat.
 
 In the Financial Year 2002-03, our Promoters decided to set up a
 plant at Sabarkantha district. 
 The said district was notified as a backward district of Class 'B'
 under the Income Tax Act at 
 the time and thus the plant was entitled to a deduction of 100% of
 profits and gains under 
 section 80-IB of the Income Tax Act for the first three years and 30%
 of profit for the next five 
 years. As the Promoters already had considerable experience in the
 manufacture of ceramic
 floor tiles under the brand 'ASIAN TILES', our name was changed to
 Asian Granito India Limited.
 
 We set up our first facility for manufacturing vitrified tiles with a
 production capacity of 4000 
 square meters per day (33,580 metric tonnes per annum) and started
 commercial production 
 from October 2003. As we reached optimum capacity utilization within
 a period of nine to ten 
 months, we expanded the production facility by installing a second
 manufacturing line. Towards 
 the end of January 2005, we commenced commercial production from the
 second line. After 
 installation of this second line the capacity of our plant increased
 to 9000 square meters per 
 day (75,500 metric tonnes per annum). We were amongst the first
 manufacturers in India to 
 produce slab vitrified tiles of 905mm x 905mm. By October 2005, we
 again reached optimum 
 capacity utilization and planned to install a third manufacturing
 line. We commenced 
 commercial production from the third line in July 2006. Thus, after
 this expansion, the installed 
 capacity of the plant has become 14,000 square meters per day
 (117,500 metric tonnes per
 annum).
 
 In March 2006, we acquired approximately 100% equity shares of our
 Subsidiary, Asian 
 Tiles Limited, to make it a wholly owned subsidiary.
