Moser Baer India Limited (MBIL) today released its financial results for the third quarter of FY’13. The company’s Board of Directors, at its meeting in New Delhi, approved the financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Commenting on the quarter’s performance, Bhaskar Sharma, CEO, Storage Media, MBIL, said, “We continue to realign our businesses to changing market dynamics with a focus on advanced formats and solid state media products. We are confident about the future prospects as improved liquidity post financial restructuring would enable us to consolidate our position and increase our market shares and volumes. On the other hand, stable raw material prices would allow us to protect our margins.”
K.N Subramaniam, CEO, Moser Baer PV Systems said, “Solar PV business is likely to show rapid signs of growth in the next three years due to announcements by JNNSM and the state government projects totaling to over 8000 MW. All these augurs well for the systems business which is shaping itself to deliver projects both in solar farms and rooftop installations at record times. Our recent track record of executing projects of 20MW+ size within 8 weeks demonstrates our robust business delivery capabilities. With systems costs falling sharply due to modules and improved engineering with focus on cost reduction, solarising India in the next few years is becoming a certainty.”
