STERLITE INDUSTRIES INDIA LIMITED
Prior to the extension of the platform, the length of the station measured up to 375 meters which could accommodate only 10 bogies of long distance express trains, travelling from Tuticorin to Chennai, Mysore and vice versa. The passengers witnessed immense discomfort and unsafe experiences while boarding and alighting from coaches, and the extension of this platform was the urgent need of the hour. The extended platform was designed particularly keeping in mind the comfort and safety of senior citizens, women travellers and differently-abled passengers. In addition to the extension, Sterlite Copper, has also renovated the existing platform and built a compound wall of 400 meters within the station premises.
The extended railway platform was inaugurated by Mr. S.P. Shanmuganathan, Minister for Tourism, Tamil Nadu in the presence of Mr. A.K. Rastogi, Madurai Divisional Railway Manager, Southern Railways and Mr. P. Ramnath, Chief Executive Officer, Sterlite Copper. Other dignitaries present at the occasion were Ms. A.P.R. Anthony Grace, Mayor, Thoothukudi Corporation, Mr. Jeyasingh Thiyagaraj Natterjee, Member of Parliament, Thoothukudi, Mr. S.T.

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, uncertainties arise from the behaviour of financial and metals markets including the London Metal Exchange, fluctuations in interest and or exchange rates and metal prices; from future integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different that those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to
