Cetex Quarterly Review

Cetex Petrochemicals Ltd has successfully

completed the first quarter of 2012-2013,

inspite of the global economic slowdown in

US and Europe, and its cascading effect in

Asia.

Cetex overcame the challenges, achieving

Rs 32.5 crores sales and Rs 7.7 crores

turnover in exports. Some of the extrinsic

factors that influenced our financial

performance include the record hike of

price of our raw material Butene in April,

and the steep fall in international MEK

prices due to an unexpected dip in

Naphtha prices.

On a positive note, we hope to revive our

margin and achieve record sales in the next

quarter.

Management Virtue

Once Birbal and Akbar started on an early

morning stroll when they met a man who was

considered an evil man and meeting him was

certainly inauspicious for Akbar. The emperor

immediately offered,” Execute this man as by

seeing his face my day has been ruined.”

Birbal unsuccessfully attempted to convince

the emperor for forgiving the man and save

his life. Akbar, vehemently said, “No, he has

to be executed as I have seen his face in the

morning.”

Finally Birbal said, “Imagine Sir, the poor

man‟s fate. You know whose face he saw to

prove man‟s face he saw to have this harsh

punishment today.”

Of course, the man was there left free as

Akbar realized his folly.

Investment in gas based power generation is the future of the petrochemical industry. The burgeoning

energy demands of the dynamic segment underlines the need for cost-effective fuel with low gestation

period.Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) has the potential to change the quantum of our energy savings,

bolstered by its significant advantages over coal-based power plants.

Of course, zero inventories, easy handling, to pivotal cost savings are some of the key factors that make

it an ideal candidate for an energy-efficient transportation fuel. It invariably holds the key to a

sustainable economy.
