New Delhi, October 29, 2010: Moser Baer India Limited (MBIL) today released its financial results for the fourth quarter & annual results of FY 2010-11. The company’s Board of Directors, at its meeting in New Delhi, approved the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and for the stand alone FY 2010-11.
Highlights include:
• Net sales for 4th quarter FY 11 is at Rs. 448.5 crore, up from Rs. 435.5 crore Q-o-Q
• Blu Ray continues to grow at a strong pace and is poised to emerge as a main stream optical media in developed countries
Commenting on the development in the markets, Bhaskar Sharma CEO, Optical Media, MBIL, said: “We have seen a surge in our order intake driven by a sharp reduction in the capacities in the global storage media markets. Hence we have experienced a sharp increase in volumes in the fourth quarter and a strong order book through FY 12.”
Speaking about the solar PV market size and scale K.N Subramanium, Chief Executive, Moser Baer Solar Systems Pvt Ltd said, “The country is poised to implement 1500 MW of solar farms within the next 12 months time thereby, creating a new EPC industry with a revenue indicator of INR 18000 crore.” He added, “Moser Baer Solar Systems is the one of the largest Solar EPC companies in India, currently having significant confirmed order book. The company has also implemented India’s first 5 MW solar farm and over hundreds of small solar system projects across the country including in difficult terrains.”
Commenting on the Results, Yogesh Mathur, Group Chief Financial Officer, said: “The Company’s results have been impacted by the surge in costs of key commodity prices such as Silver, Poly Carbonate, Heavy Fuel Oil. However, rapidly improving demand supply environment has allowed us to negate the effect of the cost increase on an ongoing basis.” Talking about the company’s solar PV plans, he added, “The Thin Film technology has emerged as the proven technology of choice in Indian ground mounted solar farms and initial performance indicators far exceed expected levels. This vindicates our stand of Thin Film for India. Our expanded module line capacity, initial solar RPO of 0.25% and aggressive solar policy’s announced by various States gives us the added advantage to further strengthen our position as the leader in Indian PV segment.”
