New Delhi, October 28th, 2009: Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (DCBL), one of the leading cement manufacturing companies in India, announced its financial performance for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 in the capital today.
Commenting on the company’s results Mr. Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director, DCBL said, “We witnessed subdued growth in the cement business on account of seasonality and slower ramp ups. Turnaround in the end user industry augurs well with the company’s growth plans.”
He also added, “The sugar business profitability has been driven by the improved realizations of 55% and volume growth of 44%. New Fixed Remuneration Prices (FRP) regulations for cane procurements is specifically beneficial to the company since our Sugar Plants are in UP. Upward revision by 26% of Power tariff for power generated by cogen in UP will benefit the company
going forward.”
