Given the significant downturn in the economy, the Board of Directors has decided to conserve cash and therefore recommended a modest equity dividend of Rs.2.50 per share for the financial year 2008-09.

The outgo on this account is Rs.1,086 lacs including tax on dividend resulting in a dividend payout ratio of around 5%.

There has been a delay in the delivery of the Jack – Up rig. Efforts are underway with the help of all the stakeholders to minimize the consequences of this delay. The delivery of the multi support vessel is also expected to be deferred to FY 2010-11 due to amendments in the design incorporating improved safety requirements for enhancing marketability of the asset globally.
