 Industry Structure and Opportunity: 


 
India has already crossed 100 million subscribers mark, and likely to reach 250 million by 2007 which means an investment of Rs.1,60,000 Crores for equipments in next 3 years. 


 
 A substantial part of the telecom equipment deployed in the Government and Private Organization Wireless networks is still being imported causing a drain on the Foreign Exchange (estimated to be Rs.20,0000.000 Millions  and has also affected the employment growth and domestic technological innovations. In the name of liberalization, we have tended to incentivise the imports, removed all restrictions including technical specifications, requirements leading to an uncontrolled growth of imports. There is a need for a policy on manufacturing for encouraging the telecom equipment and handset manufacturing in India to produce good quality equipment at competitive prices. A robust manufacturing base is necessary for a balanced growth in the telecom sector. 


 
 For the growth of an essential infrastructure, which is lagging far behind the teledensity of developed countries, it is necessary that the Telecom Revenues are to be ploughed back to ensure growth of this sector in the form of large investment on R&D and up gradation of processing / manufacturing facilities in the country and also the expansion of national networks, and a conducive climate has to be created to attract additional local investments and FDI for Telecom manufacturing. 


 
 Manufacturing alone provides additional jobs at all levels and would continue to be a key player in increasing the employment opportunities for skilled and knowledgeable workers in the country. The achievement of such ambitious goals, calls not only for creating a level playing field for ensuring the tariff parity with other countries but also improvement of infrastructure, simplification of custom procedures, promotion of industrial clusters and introducing flexibility in labour policies. 


 
 Manufacturing has been the backbone of all the developed nations. In the advanced manufacturing countries, it is where R&D starts, where new technologies are born, where Scientists and Engineers are challenged to develop new and better processes, products and technologies. Some of the economists term manufacturing as the real base of economy and according to them, a country is strong economically if 50% of their GDP is from manufacturing sector. In India, it is at present 25% of the GDP and therefore, there is a huge potential and viable business case for investment in manufacturing in this country. Manufacturing provides jobs at all levels and will be the key in uplifting the status of have-nots in this country. 
 
 RESTRUCTURING
 
 Shyam Telecom Limited : The company has obtained the approval of the Hon'able High Court of Rajasthan, for Scheme of Arrangement (SOA), which contemplated the following: 


 
 a) Amalgamation of Shyam Telecom Manufacturing Limited (STML) with Shyam Telecom Limited (STL- the amalgamated company). 


 
 b) Transfer of liabilities of Amalgamated company to Shyam Basic Infrastructures Projects Private. Limited. (SBIPPL) to the tune of 2000.000 Millions along with the investment of 2000.000 Millions in the equity shares of Shyam Telelink Limited (STLL). 


 
 c) Distribution of residual investment of Amalgamated company, in the equity shares of STLL to the shareholders of the Company in terms of the Scheme. 


 
 d) Consequential Reduction of Share Capital and Reserves of STL and Reorganization thereof. 


 e) Listing of shares of Shyam Telelink Limited (STLL). 


 
 The Scheme of Arrangement would result in manufacturing & telephony services to be carried out by two independent & listed entities, which would enable the managements of two companies to focus on their individual operations, resulting in reduction in overall cost and investment and would provide leverage to strategic investors, to invest in both the business directly. The SOA has intended unlocking the value and enhancing liquidity of shareholders of Shyam Telecom Limited (STL) in respect of both manufacturing & telephony services subsidiaries. 


 
 The figures as represented in the balance sheet are after consolidation of STML and STL, whereby STML has a majority share in turnover & profits as it was able to complete the manufacture and supply of CorDECT all over the country which was a prestigious order and product supplied was deployed in semi urban and rural areas in the various BSNL Telecom Circles. The Amalgamated Company is also into manufacturing of repeaters and accessories for providing multi band & multi system coverage of mobile signals for indoor / inbuilding as well as outdoor applications. The company has established its credentials amongst major Indian Telecom operators such as Hutch, Airtel, Spice, Nokia and others and has received tremendous response in terms of orders from them. The Company holds the majority market share in India in repeater business and is striving hard to do well across the borders also, by targeting Germany, USA, USSR and other developing markets. 


 
 Shyam Telelink Limited : Shyam Telelink Limited (Service Provider) other subsidiary has also managed to record substantial improvement during the period under review as compared to the previous year. The growth in the customer base happened in the second half of the financial year. There was increased competition both from mobile operators (GSM / CDMA) and fixed line operators.

The Operating profit has also improved significantly from Rs. 133 Million to Rs. 282 Million registering a growth of more than 112%. 
 
 Hexacom India Limited.: The company has sold / transferred the equity stake held by it in Hexacom India Limited., as upon unification of the licences, the company had two licences in the same circle for same services hence it had options either to merge the two or sell one of them. As in Hexacom India Limited. the company was a minority shareholder, it decided to disinvest. The disinvestment has been done as a step towards enhancing the liquidity position of the Company to make it a profitable business venture.
