 EXPANSION IN POWER PROJECTS 

 
 Wind Power 

 
Continuing its thrust in the power sector, the company added, during the year under review, wind farms totaling to 11.55 mw. Out of this 7.50 mw was set up in Village Andhiyur, district Coimbatore, Tamil nadu and 4.05 mw in Village Errukkandurai, Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. With these installations, the company has wind farm capacity aggregating to 27.975 mw as on 31 March, 2006. All the installed wind farms are functioning at their rated capacity and the company is receiving the payments regularly from the State Electricity Boards as per the terms of the power purchase agreement entered into with them. The total revenue from the power division was Rs. 115.100 Milllions as against Rs. 60.600 Millions for the previous year. 

 
The company has also initiated the steps towards the implementation of 100 mw wind farm.

The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 5580.900 Millions and it is proposed to be met by way of term loan of Rs. 4464.700 Millions and balance through equity of Rs. 1116.200 Millions.

The total cost of the 10 mw was Rs. 540.000 Millions which was funded by a term loan of Rs. 440.000 Millions and the balance out of the internal accruals of the company. 

 
 Hydel Power 

 
Ching Project : The 1 mw Small Hydel Project, commissioned through the subsidiary company Hateshwari Om Power Enterprises Private Limited, in March, 2005 is performing well and has been generating power at its rated capacity. 

 
 Jakhi Project : The company is now envisaging another project of 1.50 mw at village Jakhi, Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh, for which preliminary water studies have been completed. The detailed project report will be shortly submitted to the Himachal Government agencies seeking their approval for commencing the implementation of the project, which is estimated to cost Rs. 95.000 Millions.

The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 202.000 Milllions and shall generate around 34 million units of power annually. The project is allotted for a period of 40 years and the implementation of the project will commence once the confirmatory surveys, techno economic viability studies are completed. 

 
 Outlook 
 
 The renewable power sector is poised for a significant growth in the years to come. Indian Government has given substantial fillips to renewables under the Electricity Act, 2003 and under the National Electricity Policy. Majority of the state electricity boards of the country have been split up into three separate entities, viz. policy makers, power generators and distributors, thus ushering in more transparency and efficiency. The government proposes to add at least 10% of the additional capacity from renewable sources by the year 2012. Further it aims to renewables to supply 10% of the total installed capacity of 240,000 mw in the year 2012. This would mean significant growth opportunities for wind and small hydro as they are presently at 9600 mw levels and they have to add another 14600 mw in the next six years time. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT 

 
Industry Structure and Development


The healthy and balanced monsoon, inflation rate under check, increased in foreign exchange reserve, resilient and organic growth by the manufacturing sector, implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) supplemented by positive response by State Governments, boom in primary and secondary market, have all augured well for the Indian Economy which has shown tremendous growth in year 2006. The Indian GDP grew at 8.4% in year 2005-2006 as compared to 7.50% in year 2004-2005. Further agriculture sector has shown growth of 3.9% as against 0.7% in year 2004-2005, which is positive sign for the Company. The spurts in oil and gas prices were effectively countered with significant increases in forex inflows, thereby not allowing the deficit to adversely impact the floating rupee. Inflation rate has been maintained at 5% despite the hike in crude oil and commodity prices. 

 
 Company Performance 

 
The booming Indian economy has had a favourable impact on the business of the Company for the year 2005-06. The growth in economy has thrown up substantial opportunities in the Company's core sectors of operation such as Trading, Exports, Imports and power generation through wind farm projects, which has helped the company perform well during the financial year 2005-2006.
