It is a fact that for last 32 years, the Company used to do job work of manufacturing biscuits only for Britannia Industries Ltd. For manufacturing biscuits for Britannia Industries Ltd., the raw material as well as necessary plant and machinery used to be provided and installed by Britannia Industries Ltd. After receiving termination of job work agreement from BIL, the Company immediately persuaded the management of BIL to continue the agreement and the job work with the Company. However, said persuation did not work or yield any result. The Company had then approached other biscuit manufacturers such as M/s. Mondelez India Limited and M/s. ITC Ltd. On 15.07.2019, the top management of the Company had meeting with Mr. T. Arunkumar, CMO, Manager of M/s. Mondelez India Limited and then as per his requirement had forwarded e-mail on 24.07.2019. However, thereafter there was no response. Similarly the top management of the Company had discussed with Mr. Divi of M/s. ITC Foods. However, on 17.07.2019 Mr. Divi replied that there is no requirement of contract manufacturing unit to them at present. Once again on 24.07.2019 mail was forwarded to Mr. Divi of M/s. ITC Foods but there was no response to the said mail. We enclose copies of e-mails forwarded to M/s. Mondelez India Ltd. and M/s. ITC Foods, The management of the Company had also talked and discussed with Mr. Ajay Chauhan of Parle Biscuits to provide job work to the Company. However, there was no positive response even from Parle Biscuits. The reason for closing down the manufacturing activities is there is no job work which can be done in the said factory. As stated in the closure application the company for last 32 years was doing only the job work for Britannia Industries Ltd and the efforts mentioned hereinabove will support the contention of the Company that there is no other way out but to close its manufacturing operations.
