History

 

Incorporated as a private limited company by Gulu Mirchandani, Vijay Mansukhani and Sonu Mirchandani of the Onida group, MIRC Electronics manufactures the well-known Onida brand of colour televisions (CTVs) and video cassette recorders. Other group companies are Onida Saka, Onida Savak and Monica Electronics. 
 
 MEL tapped the capital market to finance its CTV expansion, and diversification into the audio segment. Commercial production at the expanded capacity started from Jul.'95. The company has opened Onida Arcades, exclusive retail shops, and introduced state-of-the-art wide-vision TVs and audio systems. MEL was awarded the ISO 9001 certification during 1994-95


 
 The company concentrated on reinforcing and improving the penetration of its sales and after sales support infrastructure. During 1997-98, the company came out with a new range of products christened 'Techno Value', which has been launched with considerable success. In 1998-99, it introduced the WEBCRUISER - the world's first internet TV, the trendy TV and PIP in the 25" segment. In 1999-2000, the company introduced multi-coloured Candy in the 14 inch TV segment.

 
 
 In the fiscal 2001, it came out with 29KY Thunder series which was amongst the first 650 watt television set in the world and has embarked on the process to launch a plasma display tube television in collaboration with Fujitsu. With effect from 1st April,2001 Onida Infotech Serivces Ltd was merged with MIRC Electronics Ltd. In 2001-02 it had launched the 29 inch Home Theatre,the first to convert a mono recording into a 5.1 output surround sound.

 

 

PROFILE

 

Subject is the maker of the Onida brand of TVs has grown a number of connectivity options in its backyard. There are VSAT links, leased lines, VPN links, ISDN links, RF (Radio Frequency) links, and dial up links. The company is now able to share its SAP R/3 data among 140 users across 38 locations nationwide without the fear of losing valuable transaction and operations data in a communications breakdown.

 

Since MEL runs an ERP which demands data be available all the time and has users sprinkled in multiple locations nationwide, it had to ensure multiple connectivity options. And the initiative has paid off very well.

 

Subject was founded in 1981 and began computerization five years ago by deploying LANs at various locations with CAT 5 structured cabling. RF links were deployed in a couple of years between its offices in Mumbai and Thane to share information.

 

The RF links connect the HO (Head Office) to two locations in Mumbai, the Mumbai branch office and the Onida Infotech building. Bandwidth of the RF links is 1.5 Mbps and they are backed up with dialup links. The RF equipment includes wireless transceivers and wireless modems from Wi-LAN.

 

The Company uses HCL Infinet’s network to support a 64 Mbps leased line which connect to 20 branch offices nationwide. Each link is backed up with 128K ISDN links. The company also uses the service provider’s VPN for security. A firewall sits between the mail server at the HO and the Internet.  A 128K DSL and a back up 64K DSL link help make the connection.

 

The Company earlier had a PAMA link between the HO and the New Delhi office. It has recently migrated the link to a VPN. The bandwidth is 32 Kbps and will soon be doubled due to expected higher data traffic.

 

Financial performance

 

MIRC had another successful year with a growth of 12.64 % in the overall turnover of Rs. 13432.100 millions from Rs. 11925.100 millions fro the year ended 31st March, 2006. Profit before tax registered a growth of 24.69 % at Rs. 506.100 million from Rs. 405.900 millions, while profit after tax stood at Rs. 327.900 millions up from Rs. 277.800 millions an increase of 18.02%.    

 

 

Merger of Onida Savak Ltd. with the company:

 
 
As a strategic consolidation initiative, the Board of Directors of the  company considered the proposal to amalgamate Onida Savak Ltd. (OSL) with the  company in return for synergic benefits. This merger was approved by the members at the extra-ordinary general meeting held on 3rd June 2005. Since OSL was classified as a sick company under the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA), a relevant petition was filed before the Appellate Authority for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction/Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction. The Board by its order approved the Scheme with effect from its transfer date i.e. 31st March 2005 and the accounts being presented incorporate the impact of the amalgamation. 
 

Sale of Onida Infotech division

 

The Company’s Management decided to sell the Onida Infotech Division on a going concern basis and concentrate on its core business. The Onida Infotech Division had been engaged in the designing, developing, marketing and supporting of software in the field of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and relevant extensions. In pursuance with a resolution passed through postal ballot by the shareholders and the scrutiniser’s report dated 12 November 2003, the Company approved the sale of the Onida Infotech Division.

 

During the year under review, the said division was sold together with employees, directly relevant to the business with a continuity of service and full protection of the existing terms and conditions.
