Mr S.V. Balasubramaniam

Coimbatore , Nov 16

BANNARI Amman Sugars - Granite Division is anticipating a three-fold increase in container load despatches within the next six months.

The division has been shipping 20 containers of granite monuments and slabs every month to the UK and the US. Each container load is being valued at around Rs 10 lakh.

It had during the 2004-05 fiscal produced 85,616 square metres of granite slabs, 7,496 sq. m of tiles and 2,495 sq. m of monuments.

`While monuments are generally shipped to the UK, seventy per cent of the total shipments are in the form of slabs and to the US,' Mr S.V. Balasubramaniam, Chairman, Bannari Amman Sugars, told Business Line.

Exports account for 75 per cent of the production.

The company has recently doubled the shipment to 40 container loads and is now positive of increasing it to 60 in a span of six months.
