OPERATIONS

During the year under review the Cable business segment of the Company achieved turnover of Rs. 98 crores compared to the turnover of Rs. 120 crores in the previous year. The fall in turnover was due to paucity of working capital. Raw Material prices remained volatile whereas stiff competition impacted EBDITA margins adversely.

During the year the income from Real Estate operations amounted to Rs. 33.20 Crores.

Industrial relations remained cordial during the year under review.

DIVIDEND

In view of the losses, the Directors do not recommend any dividend on Equity Shares for the financial year 2013-14.

CURRENT YEAR'S OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

The outlook for the current year considering the revival of industries & new projects being taken up by State & Central Utilities, the cable requirement likely to go up which is evident from the increase in enquiry bank for both low tension/high tension and Extra High Voltage cables requirement. Despite of increase in demand, we see stiff competition in HT/LT business which is putting tremendous pressure on the margins.

In case of HT/LT cables, CCI continues to enjoy the preferred brand image due to consistent in delivering the high quality products. In case of Extra High Voltage segment, the company has been competing with local as well as International players. Company still enjoys the longest experience in the domestic market in the EHV segment and always the preferred choice of customers. It is envisaged that Extra High Voltage cable in the current scenario of the market will go up as most of the State & Central Utilities in urban area are moving away from overhead transmission due to space constraints to underground cable transmission network projects. In this case also, despite of increase in demand, good enquiry bank, we see stiff competition with local as well as international players. We expect to have reasonable margin in EHV segment.
