        10. The previous period figures have been recast to reflect the

        2.  The previous financial year was for the period from April 1,   
        2005 to December 31, 2005. The comparative figures for six months ended 
        June 30, 2005 have been provided by aggregating the figures for the     
        quarters ended on March 31, 2005 (extracted from the audited financial  
        statements) and June 30, 2005.

        (ii) Divestment of stake in Everest Industries Limited (EIL) erstwhile  
        subsidiary w.e.f October 14, 2005.                                      
        Accordingly, the result for the quarter and six months ended June 30,   
        2006 are not comparable with the respective previous periods.           
                                                                                
        4.  The previous period figures have been recast to reflect the    
        amalgamation of Bargarh Cement Limited (BCL) and Damodhar Cement and    
        Slag Limited (DCSL) w.e.f April 1, 2005, which had been recorded in the 
        quarter ended December 31, 2005 pursuant to receipt of necessary court  
        orders. Further the previous period figures have been regrouped wherever
        necessary.
