The company is also on the lookout for other alternate fuels available at cheaper prices within the vicinity of the plants and very small percentage based on cost economics has also been utilised during the year. Development of such alternate fuels is a focus area for the Company.

To overcome the power problems the Company has commissioned a 48 MW power plant at Sankarnagar which has started stabilising towards the second half of the FY 2013 and is expected to improve further during FY 2014. In addition, a second power plant is also under installation at Vishnupuram.

With no major capacity addition in the pipeline, the Company is considering its options to expand its capacity further either at an existing location or in North or Central India for which it is pursuing mining leases. This would enable the Company to enhance its participation in the next boom cycle of the industry.
