Mr.Gautam Chand Jain
Chairman,
Pokarna Granites Limited
The dynamic Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh uttered the inspiring words "Dare to
dream -care to achieve" while addressing the people of his state.One
man, who has similar ideas-Gautam Chand
Jain,Chairman,Pokarna Granites Ltd actually converted sick units into profitable
world class processing facilities for granite.
A professionally-managed, blue chip
company, Secunderabad |
 |
| based Pokarna
shook up the world of Indian granite from the day it began
operations one sunny morning in 1991.Instead of playing second fiddle to
European companies, Pokarna stirred the Indian Industry into life and set the stage for an exciting clash of industries simply by delivering world class
products at the most competitive prices. |
Pokarna began with quarrying and supplying granite blocks to the world but
soon diversified into processing granites to international standards and
launched its range in the toughest markets around the globe ,including the Far East, Western Europe and most notably North America.
Pokarna’s 35 plus varieties come from their own captive quarries as well as from other carefully-identified independently-owned quarries. They are
processed in a state of the art manufacturing complex with the finest
equipment from Italy, just 35
kilometers from India’s cyber capital,
Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh.
A 100%export unit, Pokarna continues its philosophy of value addition through vertical integration. From raw granite blocks to processed granite to granite ties to exclusive boutique-quality granite decorative items, utilitarian products and novelties. Its clientele, not surprisingly, reads like a
variable Who’s Who of architects, contractors, multinationals
,royalty and governments. From corporate
headquarters In New York to residences in the French Riviera to places in the Middle East, the list is endless.
The company keeps the nation’s flag flying high in the international arena at exhibitions after exhibition worldwide-in the US,
Germany, Italy and of course on home turf in India.
 |
Quality, delivery, trust are the cornerstones of the Pokarna success story. Success that
receives recognition and support from government and industry year after year. The company’s performance won it the prestigious awards of CAPEXIL (Chemicals &Allied Products Export Promotion Council
) as also the Special Export Award for
1999- 2000
-2001. |
| It also bagged the Best Export Effort in the state Award(1999-2000)from the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce &
Industry and the Best Export Performance Award and First in Granite sector in the state (1999-2000& 2000-2001) from the Visakhapatnam Export Processing Zone, confirming the top position in the Industry in the State.
|
The Company’s growth is shared by shareholders of the Company through regular dividends and a bonus issue of equity shares. Employee welfare too assumes a very high priority at Pokarna Granite Ltd as does its commitment to the environment .The smiling faces, the hum of machinery
round - the - clock round-the-year and the extensive landscaping around the
manufacturing complex, all bear eloquent testimony to the corporate
philosophy of its founders.
Company Performance
The year 2000-2001 has been a very satisfying one for
the Company as it recorded all round improved performance with turn over, gross profit and net profit recording solid growth.
The company's business operation yielded Rs. 5559.59 Lakhs during 2000-2002 recording a 57.34% raise over last year.
Exports witnessed a quantum jump over the previous year and stood at Rs. 4355.11 Lakhs, an increase 71.90%. Net Profit also rose to Rs. 687.36 Lakhs registering an increase of 30.82 % over previous year.
