Margins pressurize Blue Star's net
Blue Star Limited has posted a 8.4% growth in sales from Rs 986 m in 1QFY00 to Rs 1068 m in 1QFY01. The operating profit margins have however, dipped from 7.9% to 6.8%. This is because the air conditioner market is becoming highly competitive, especially after the entry of the Korean multinationals like LG and Samsung, as the realisations have come under enormous pressure.
