Here are some excerpts of what the CMD of the company says :

·       The industry is definitely in a positive mood and with the Gujarat plants reopening, a lot of corrections will be made. So, I think going forward we see an improvement in margins. 

·       Our revenue growth has been less, because all the plants in Gujarat were shut down for one month. ...This impacted revenues by Roughly about Rs 20-25 crore. 

·       right now margins appear at 15.1 percent. ....It should go up by about 50 points to 1 percent at the maximum. That is upto 16 percent. 

·       As more expansions come in, the revenues will go up of course. ... We are looking at 18-20 percent over the period of next financial year. 

·       we have already raised funds to the extent of Rs 150 crore of which Rs 50 crore have already come. The balance will come in due process of time. So, I think this is good enough till March 16 is concerned. 

·       This year we will be selling almost 50 million square meters of tiles. Next year, we are looking at selling almost about 60 million square meters of tiles, anywhere between 58-60 million square meters of tiles and revenue growth should be of the order of 18-20 percent.
