Outlook:
Indian economy, as per advanced estimates released by the CSO, grew a healthy 8.6% in F2011. However, driven by rising commodity and fuel prices, inflation remained high right through the year leading to a significant hardening in the monetary stance of the RBI. Policy rates were raised seven times in F2011 and the RBI, prioritizing inflation control, increased the Repo and Reverse Repo Rates by a further 50 basis points in May 2011. With both input costs and interest rates rising, the current economic environment is quite clearly challenging. However, the company through its continuous focus on new product introduction, process innovation and cost control, expects to rise to this challenge adequately.
