From Annual Report 2015 - Company was going through a bad phase
(Your Company’s sales turnover during the year 2014-15 touched 2,03,982 lacs against 2,29,675 lacs in the year 2013-14, resulting in a decline of about 11%. The sales volume also declined marginally at 2,62,640 KLS/MTs during the year 2014-15 as against 2,72,805 KLs/MTs achieved in the year 2013-14. For the first time since listing, your Company suffered a loss of 127 lacs during the year under review as against a net profit of 8,974 lacs for the previous year. The loss incurred by your Company was due to extraordinary and unprecedented fall in the price of Crude Oil from USD 105 per barrel (NYMEX) in July, 2014 to USD 48 per barrel in March, 2015 resulting in unprecedented fall in the price of Base Oil resulting in high inventory losses to your Company. This adverse situation was worsened by the foreign exchange volatility, both resulting in uncertain/deferred demand for the products of your Company. The consistent fall in prices of Crude Oil and Base Oil especially in the second half of year 2014 finally started showing signs of
bottoming out in the first quarter of year 2015. Since then, these prices have shown a lot more stability which augurs well for your Company.
