Note xx-Business and Geographical Segments (amounts in Rs. lakhs)
Business segments:
For management
purposes, the Company is organised on a worldwide basis into three major operating
divisions-paper products, office products and publishing — each headed by a senior vice president. The divisions are the
basis on which the company reports its primary segment information. The paper products segment produces a broad range
of writing and publishing papers and newsprint. The office products segment manufactures labels, binders, pens, and
markers and also distributes office products made by others. The publishing segment develops and sells books in the
fields of taxation, law and accounting. Other operations include development of computer software for standard and
specialised business applications. Financial information about business segments is presented in the above table (from
page 261 to page 264).
Geographical segments:
Although the Company’s major operating divisions are managed on a worldwide basis, they
operate in four principal geographical areas of the world. In India, its home country, the Company produces and sells a
broad range of papers and office products. Additionally, all of the Company’s publishing and computer software development
operations are conducted in India.
In the European Union, the Company operates paper and office products manufacturing
facilities and sales offices in the following countries: France, Belgium, Germany and the U.K.
Operations in Canada and
the United States are essentially similar and consist of manufacturing papers and newsprint that are sold entirely
within those two countries. Operations in Indonesia include the production of paper pulp and
the manufacture of
writing and publishing papers and office products, almost all of which is sold
outside Indonesia, both to other segments of
the company and to external customers.
