Future Plans
Your company is an established player in the sugar industry and has
been showing consistent profits despite overall dismal performance of
the industry in the last few years. The management is taking keen
initiatives in bringing the technology and performance of the unit at
par with the big players in the industry. As briefed by the management
in previous reports that it has proposed to set up a 25MW capacity
cogeneration power plant apart from expansion and modernization of
existing sugar plant. As a part of the Concurrent modernization and
expansion plan of the sugar plant, the company has invested an amount
of Rs. 5.27 Cr. from its internal accruals for increasing the installed
capacity of the unit to 3000 TCD from the existing 2500 TCD during the
financial year under review which shall be further increased to 5500
TCD before the start of sugar season 2014 in a phased manner thus
stabilizing operations to 229 TCH from existing 125 TCH. The company is
also at the final stages of entering into an implementation agreement
(IA) with Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) for
setting up the Grid Connected Industrial Bio mass/Bagasse Cogeneration
Power project. The power project is on implementation stage and is
likely to be commissioned before the start of sugar season 2014 in
integration with sugar mill expansion / modernization plans of the
company.
The company has designed and initiated the installation of modification
scheme for achieving steam and power economy. The design philosophy
will be able to generate optimum levels of power from high pressure
steam, supply steam and power requirements of the sugar complex and
auxiliaries and export optimum level of power to HSEB''s substation. The
cogeneration project has several advantages in terms of availability of
required space, suitability from topographical and geological
considerations, availability of rail/road networks, sugar availability,
water availability and nearest grid connectivity for operating the
project.
The alone integrated project shall not only improve the quality of
sugar for meeting the national and international standards while
operating at optimum levels, but also reduce the manufacturing costs
apart from providing raw material for cogen power plant in the form of
Bagasse. Implementation of cogen power plant concurrently with sugar
expansion/modernization project along with other by-products right from
beginning goes a long way to integrate the operations and improve
sustainability and shall mitigate the risk of fluctuation in
international market prices to some extent.
In view of the above your Board expects much better performance in the
years to come. DIVIDEND
Keeping in view the financial constraints of the company, your
directors have decided not to recommend any dividend for the year under
review.

2805732 qtls. of cane which is approximately 12% higher than the last
year figure of 2530195 qtls, the company could not achieve its target,
mainly because of steep fall in sale price of sugar from last year's
Rs. 4000-4500 per qtl to Rs. 3300-3000 per qtl. Resultantly, net profit
after taxes also dropped by around 40% to Rs. 261.92 Lacs from Rs.
432.75 Lacs.

Future Plans
Your company is an established player in the sugar industry and has
been achieving profits despite overall poor performance of the industry
in last 3-4 years. The management is taking keen interest in upgrading
the technology and performance of the sugar manufacturing unit.
Presently, the sugar mill has an installed capacity of 4000 TCD at its
plant. However, the Company has not been able to achieve desired
utilization levels on account of various technical limitations in its
manufacturing process. Such limitations have affected the company's
operational efficiency and created a dent on its profitability.
Looking at the potential of the plant and the uptrend in the sugar
industry, the company has targeted to optimize its current capacities
from current utilization levels of approx. 62% to 90%. For the
purpose, the company has undertaken an in house feasibility with the
help of newly recruited, highly competent technical professionals and
now envisages implementing a Modernization cum Debottlenecking Scheme
involving a capital outlay of Rs. 4000 lacs. The said enhancement will
improve the profitability quite substantially to more than double of
existing profits as it will not have additional fixed cost.
In addition to this, a separate refinery section will be set up to
process raw sugar which will be imported from other countries. The
processing of raw sugar will be done in off-season when sugarcane is
not readily available and most of the sugar factories are shut down.
The sugar so processed shall be much better in quality as compared to
the sugar produced after crushing of sugarcane. The company intends to
eliminate the old mechanical system and substitute the same with power
saving equipments thereby reducing the power consumption to 80% of the
present consumption. This will increase the viability of the project
and will also increase the Sugar recovery rate from 0.5% to 0.9%.
In view of the above, your Board is expecting much better performance
in the current year.

Cane Crushing
The comparative figures of Cane crushed during the current and last
financial year is given hereunder:-
Particulars Sugar Season (2009-10) Sugar Season (2008-09)
24.11.2009 to 03.04.2010 12.11.2008 to 14.03.2009
CaneCrushed(Qtls) 2530195.12 2729223
Recovery(%) 9.25 9.l8
Production(Qtls) 235500 252430
The company has been able to achieve much better results despite the
fact that sugarcane crushing has been low by 199028 qtls as compared to
the last financial year. This is mainly because of the following
factors:
(a) Lot of emphasis was given on higher sugar recovery due to
insufficient and inconsistent availability of sugarcane. While most of
the neighboring sugar factories were not able to achieve their last
year pattern, we have been able to increase our sugar recovery
substantially.
(b) Lot of emphasis was laid on improving the quality of sugar. The
quality of sugar produced was much better than the production of
previous year. The quality has been appreciated by the dealers/actual
users who have started considering our sugar at par with the best being
produced in the region.
(c) We started crushing season from 24th November, 2009 while other
sugar manufacturing concerns started production in the first week of
December, 2009. Similarly, our production continued till 03rd April,
2010 as compared to other factories which ended their season in second
week of March, 2010, because of which we could get more number of
working days.
(d) Though the availability of sugarcane was quiet low, however good
market prices with better marketing strategies helped us a lot in
improving the profitability.
During the year company had paid higher cane price to our cane growers
which is approximately Rs 270/-per quintal as compared to previous year
Rs. 180/-per quintal which has affected our profitability adversely.
Future Plans
Your management is taking keen interest in upgrading the technology and
performance of the sugar manufacturing unit. Presently, the sugar mill
has an installed capacity of 4000 TCD at its plant. However, the
Company has not been able to achieve desired utilization levels on
account of various technical limitations in its manufacturing process.
Such limitations have affected the companys operational efficiency and
created a dent on its profitability. Therefore, the Companys
management in conformance with its technical team has decided to
overcome such inefficiencies by de-bottlenecking its manufacturing
process through modernization of its key plant fit machinery in various
stages of manufacturing process. The proposed investment in
modernization of plant fit machinery and optimization of production
process coupled with intensive cane development program will result in
significant improvements. It will improve the capacity utilization from
average 67% to 95% of installed capacity besides bringing a significant
improvement in the yield, thereby, providing a one third production
increase without substantial investment. The said enhancement will
improve the profitability quite substantially to more than double of
existing profits as it will not have any additional fixed cost.
Further, with the introduction of new technology, steam consumption
shall be reduced from 52% to 40%. Besides this various power saving
equipments shall be implemented to obtain optimum utilization of
resources. The company has targeted to optimize its capacity to 4000
TCD with 95% efficiencies. For the purpose, the company has done an in
house feasibility with the help of newly recruited, highly competent
technical professionals and now envisages implementing a Modernization
cum Debottlenecking Scheme. In addition to this, a separate refinery
section will be set up to process raw sugar which will be imported from
other countries. The processing of raw sugar will be done in off-season

company intends to eliminate the old mechanical system and substitute
the same with power saving equipments thereby reduced the power ,
consumption to 80% of the present consumption. This will increase the
viability of the project and will also increase the Sugar recovery rate
from 0.5% to 0.9%.
In view of the above, your Board is expecting much better performance
in the current year as sugar prices are expected to increase in the
coming year.
