• The data provided focuses on key metrics (working days, workers, raw material cost, and human power cost) related to the operations of KSCDC
• Working days rose from 190 in 2018-19 to a peak of 206 in 2019-20, then dropped sharply to 142 in 2020-21 before partially recovering to 179 in 2021-22.
• More working days likely contributed to higher production and sales, making 2019-20 possibly the strongest year for sales turnover.
• The decline in 2020-21, likely due to the Covid pandemic, would have negatively impacted sales.
• The number of workers increased from 3980 in 2018-19 to over 4200 in subsequent years, stabilizing around 4100.
• A consistent workforce suggests efforts to maintain production capacity, even during challenging years like 2020-21.
• Raw Material Cost decreased significantly over the years, from ₹75.31 in 2018-19 to ₹42.4 in 2021-22.
• The reduction in raw material costs reflects improved efficiency or cost-saving measures, which could positively impact profit margins despite fluctuations in production and sales.
• Cost of Human Power peaked at ₹31.06 in 2019-20, dropped to ₹23.27 in 2020-21, and rose again to ₹27.49 in 2021-22.
• Higher human power costs in 2019-20 could indicate increased labor engagement for higher production, aligning with the peak working days of that year.
Conclusion
• The sales turnover for 2019-20 likely peaked due to maximum working days and workforce engagement, despite slightly higher costs for raw materials and labor.
• The sharpest decline in working days occurred in 2020-21, leading to reduced production and lower sales turnover, likely due to the pandemic.
• In 2021-22, signs of recovery are evident with more working days and a stable workforce, though sales turnover may still fall short of the 2019-20 levels.
