The management of the company has therefore decided to stop the production at the plant and has also offered a voluntary retirement scheme to workmen, which the workmen have accepted.

The said plant was set up in 1997 for manufacture and packaging of pure coconut oil. The management proposes to close the plant in due course for which initial preparatory steps are being taken. The management believes that these developments have no significant bearing on performance/operations of the company.
