OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the Company could not operate its business satisfactorily due to non- availability of any business opportunity. Further, the continued scarcity of good quality raw material, steep rise in the overall cost of inputs, absence of working capital finances have made the operations of the Company economically unviable. The accumulated losses till end of the financial year have amounted to Rs. 2595.79 Lacs. However, the Management explored various feasible alternatives, but was forced to close down its manufacturing unit in previous year.
