Puzzolana to Launch Its New Energy Saving Equipment
How do you see the first two quarters of this fiscal for Puzzolana and foreseeing clear sign of revival in mining industry, what are your assessment of remaining months in 2013-14?
We are not expecting a growth but if GOI takes decision to implement the announced projects before the end of 2013, it will give business in the physical year 2014.
Certification of Equipment like definition of performance, safety and operation is a big issue as there is no specific/unified guideline, and everyone interprets it as per his/her own preferences and understanding. Hence there are lots of confusion among end users; what are your suggestions on the same and how can a technical level play be achieved for the health growth of mining segment?
The GOI, CII and Manufacturers are working on creating norms for training and safety required for each category of equipment and process so that GOI can bring in the norms/standards/Policies in giving certification for operators/ users.Tell us about Puzzolana's efforts on making strong imprints in global market through its products and services.

How can financing to the genuine buyers be eased and ensured?
It takes time in financing in assessing the buyers/customers. However it is a good for both suppliers and financers in present situation to assess the genuine buyers in this situation of liquidity.
