MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RISKS, CONCERNS AND THREATS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

The Company today mainly operates in two segments viz., Power Cables and Telecommunication Cables. The respective industry scenario is as under :

 

Power Cables

The demand for Power Cables continues to remain buoyant in view of the restructuring of the State Electricity Boards, increased focus and addition to generating capacity and industrial infrastructure growth in the country. Per capita availability of power is also improving substantially. The growth in the housing and construction industry has also resulted in an increasing demand for house wiring cables.

 

 Telecom Cables

 There has been an improvement in the off-take of both Jelly Filled and Optical Fibre Telecom Cables. This is mainly due to the expansion in the networks of the State owned Telecom companies, as well as the private operators. However, the demand is still a fraction of the installed capacity of the industry, resulting in low margins for all players.

The above trends are likely to continue in the near future, resulting in substantive growth, particularly for Power Cables.

RPG Telecom, formerly Karnataka Telecables, was jointly promoted by KSIIDC (Karnataka State Industrial Investment & Development Corporation) and Asian Cables Corporation (ACCL). It later changed its name to RPG Cables (RPGCL) on 21 Sep.'92.  


 RPGCL, a major player in the jelly-filled cable industry, set up a project with an installed capacity to manufacture 0.625 Millions sophisticated equipments for Maillerfer, Switzerland; ETS Pourtier Pere Fils, France; DCM International, US; and Dussek Cambel, UK. The project was completed in 1987. It entered into a technical collaboration with Pheeps Dodage International Corporation (PDPC), US, for technical know-how to manufacture telephone cables. The plant was commissioned in Mar.'87 and commercial production commenced in 1987. The DoT successfully completed manufacturing processes in 1986-87 and quality assurance programmes in 1987-88 (15 months). 


 RPGCL promoted a joint venture - Sprint RPG India - which, in technical and financial collaboration with Sprint Mail, US, has launched E-mail services in eight major cities in India. It has entered into a tie-up with BICC, UK, to manufacture optical fibre cables in Mysore (inst. cap. : 40,000 fibre kmpa).In 2000-01 the company bagged orders from MTNL & BSNL. 

 
 In the OFC segment the prospects looks promising where the company has already has expanded its capacity to 444,000 FKM. The Power Cables division has expanded its capacities at the new plant at Silvassa from 2000 Km to 3000 Km. The company restructured its business into SBU's and in each sector viz Telecom Cables,(JFC) Power Cables(HT & LT cables) and a new business called Telenet Solutions which will undertake all activity relating to laying of cables, erecting towers and providing turnkey solutions for setting up communicating networks. 
 
 RPGCL has expanded the installed capacity of Jelly Filled Telephone Cables, Optical Fibre Cables & Power Cables during the year 2002-03 by 2637000 CKM, 235000 FKM & 34680 KM respectively.
