The Company has paid a dividend of 18% for FY 2009-10. Dividend yield is very attractive at around 7%. The Company has already paid an interim dividend of 8% for FY 2010-11, which shows the optimism of the management. Long term debt to equity ratio is at 0.41 and there is ample scope for raising loan for further expansion.

The Company is in the sector of manufacturing various grades of kraft paper and duplex boards, which is booming. With a dividend yield of 6.92% and forward P/E ratio of less than 6, the scrip is an attractive buy for one year period. The Company has been a good dividend paying master since last 5 years.
