Dear All,
It came to us all as a pleasant relief when we learnt late in September that Standard & Poor's had
upgraded its outlook on India's sovereign rating to stable from negative. The agency felt
confident that the country's new government would be able to implement important changes
in how Asia's third-largest economy is managed. It is no coincidence that this came in the
middle of Prime Minister's visit to the United States of America and the string of positive vibes
that it created.
I am also happy to note that the CII Business Confidence Index (CII-BCI) for July-Sept quarter
FY15 has shot up to 57.4, up from 53.7 in April-June quarter and 49.9 in Jan-March quarter this
year. During the same quarter last fiscal, the index had touched the all-time low value of 45.7.
The number 50 is the dividing line on the index between positive and weak business
confidence.
I feel that overall the mood seems to be quite positive. We have scaled new heights in Science,
literally, and our Mars project is being hailed globally. This reinforces our claims for Make In
India.
You may be aware that the new government has set into motion a series of reforms in
governance. Trying to ensure timeliness to quick decision making and putting in a system of
transparency are some of the laudable initiatives. While the tangible results would take some
time to fructify, all these actions by the government has unleashed a wave of positivity.
For 'Make in India' move, efforts are on to create a business-friendly environment. The idea of G
2 B has come back into limelight. We must leverage this for our gain. According to some
estimates, our cotton and apparel exports are likely to rise by upto 10% this year. Also, the rise
in textile shipments from India—currently around 4.5% of world trade—may eat into top
exporter, China's 36% share of the market and will be a boon for Indian textile merchants keen
to exploit rising demand stemming from weak cotton prices and global economic growth.
Now that the ball has been set rolling by the government – on reforms and rejuvenation - it is
time for us to consolidate ourselves. Let's try and make the best of the positive environment all
around. The systems are being streamlined and businesses are gearing up to align themselves
of the new enthusiasm. It is only prudent, that we too wake up to the opportunities and make
the best out of this.
By the time, this issue is with you, you must have celebrated with all joy the great festival season
concluding with Diwali.
My Best Wishes for you and your family.
With best wishes,
Ravi Jhunjhunwala

Adieu 16
Dear All,
The Gold Medal in Hockey at the Incheon Asiad Games came as an icing on cake for a nation which has
been in a celebratory mood after the historic success of Mars Orbiter Mission of Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). It boosted our morale – coming as it did after 16 years – and gave us reason to
reassert ourselves.
It is also heartening to see almost an ebullient response to the call for Clean India. For the first time in the history of the country, a
seemingly unfocused issue but with huge significance, has captured the imagination of all. Rich, poor, elderly, children, women and
people from all professional fields have joined the call for Swachh Bharat by the Prime Minister. It was also inspiring to see that some
of our Textile units have taken a good initiative in this regard. As a corporate group committed to Indian values including that of
cleanliness, it is our duty to join the national call. Let's commit ourselves to this good cause.
As we all are aware that we are living in momentous times , it is imperative for us to remain competitive and relevant. Modern
organizations are getting highly efficient and the role of each one of us including workers is getting smarter than ever before. There
is more transparency, better integration of technology and a set of robust values and work ethics drive the work culture. Same is true
for us. Therefore , as an organization, we have to constantly reinvent and align ourselves with changing times. The organization
creates all the right opportunities for all of us to excel and flourish – it is up to us to grab the opportunity and make the most of it.
An interesting piece to share. A recent survey by PwC Strategy of 30-odd leading Indian companies that represented around 15
industries revealed that barely 3% organisations are "ready for growth" phase. The bulk of organisations surveyed - 80% - fall short
of realising their growth potential as a result of being "strategically adrift", "distracted" or "capability constrained". Around 17% of
Indian companies that were "in the game" for the growth phase are hindered by lack of performance-centric culture and talent
management, hemmed in by infective governance and inadequate risk management. We shall have to be at guard against these
pitfalls.
Our Chairman has emphasised it time and again that we need to prepare ourselves to still better performance and seize all
opportunities for growth, and all of us should strive our best to give the Best !
With all cheers, joy, success and wealth to you and your family for Diwali and the festival season.
With best wishes,
T. Dev Joshi

Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happiness comes to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal. The cause of all the miseries we have in the world is that men foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal to strive for. After a time man finds that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers.

MPCL conducted 1st Tier mock drill on 27th August, 2014. The subject of
the mock drill was road traffic accident at RD 4500 on Road leading to
MPCL Barrage. The scenario of the mock drill is 8 kms. of road network
serving its remote site office and installations i.e. Valve house, Adits and
Barrage site. The employees ferry on these roads throughout the day. The
roads are hilly and very tricky in nature passing through week geological
zones at various points, hence are prone to landslides and damages to
the person and property. In addition to the above, road traffic accidents
are a matter of concern for safety of our employees. The roads being cut
through dense and steep forests at various places makes it difficult to
rescue the people at certain times. Hence, to prepare ourselves for any
kind of emergency, it is required to be rehearsed and set the things right in
time.
As per mock drill "Plant Head received information at 01:45 p.m. regarding the incident that shift vehicle had met with an
accident at RD 4500. Plant Head activated the ENRP and rescue team and ambulance were mobilized to the spot for rescue of
the injured. Two persons with severe injuries were moved to the CHC Jari for further treatment. At 02:45pm information about
