Note :

*1. The plant was shut down for 2.5 months to carry out the expansion of sulphuric acid plant in 1993-94. Excluding the shutdown period the capacity utilisation for 1993-94 works out to 85.62 %

2. Sulphur is the only raw material for both Sulphuric Acid and Oleum. The output prices are linked to the price of sulphur. Therefore to a large extent, the fluctuations in turnover can, be related to the fluctuations in the international price of sulphur.

The per unit cost of Sulphur reduced by 18% for 1992-93 as compared to 1991-92 and the per unit realisation of Sulphuric Acid and Oleum reduced by 17% and 22% respectively over the corresponding periods. This is
reflected in the change in sales turnover.

3. The operations for 1994-95 has been on the expanded capacities without any consequent increase in overheads, resulting in better profit margins. There has been a process improvement also contributing to better capacity utilisation levels.

The increase in margins in 1994-95 was also due to commissioning of the Alum plant. The Alum plant was commissioned in September 1994.
