Binani Cement Limited, a key leader in Indian Cement Industry, announced its unaudited results for the quarter ended September 2010.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the company reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 118 Lakhs. The Profit After Tax (PAT) for the half year ended September 30, 2010, stood at Rs 4,385 Lakhs.
The scenario is mainly because of a drop in expected demand due to early on-set and longer period monsoons, which led to lower realizations in the industry as a whole. This has been further compounded by a large increase in fuel prices (coal) when compared to previous periods. With the cessation of monsoons, there are clear indications that the demand is reviving with increase in prices and therefore future performance is expected to improve substantially.
