Kajaria (India) prepares for growth

Feb 24, 2005
24/02/05 - Kajaria, one of the foremost Indian ceramic companies with a production of 14 million square metres of tiles at its facilities at Gailpur (Rajasthan) and Sikandrabad (Uttar Pradesh), has embarked on a programme to increase production in response to robust growth in the Indian building sector.

Specifically, the Sikandrabad factory will increase its production capacity. For this site the Italian company Manfredini & Schianchi will be supplying a complete “PPFV” body preparation plant capable of producing more than 12,000 sq.m/day of red body floor tiles. Kajaria expects to reach a production of 18 million square metres in 2005.

In fiscal 2003-2004, the company reported a 13% increase in turnover (to a total of Rs. 2,698 million, approximately 47 million euro).
In spite of the continued cuts in the natural gas supply to the Sikandrabad facility and a substantial increase in fuel prices, net profits (after tax) rose from Rs. 99 to 118 million (2.1 million euro, 19% up on the previous year).
