25.01.2006	PRESS RELEASE Century Enka Limited (CEL), a Pune based Company, engaged in the business of Synthetic Yarns and Nylon Tyre Cord Fabrics has announced its results for the quarter ended 31st December,2005. The Company has reported a net loss of Rs.6.84 crores (after providing for interest, depreciation and tax) on the turnover of Rs.251.83 crores as against the net profit of Rs.4.03 crores on the turnover of Rs.218.63 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The results for the quarter under review were seriously impacted by the high raw material costs which are mainly petroleum based products. This high cost could not be passed on to customers due to stiff competition from cheap imports particularly from China.
