Management Discussion and Analysis


Industrial Overview: 


India has emerged as the fastest growing and democratic free market. India now assumes centrestage in the global economy and it must focus its attention towards infrastructure, manufacturing and engineering capabilities. If India today has the twin objectives of becoming Developed Economy and Industrial Super Power by 2020, then the development of the country should be driven by technology and engineering. According to some experts, the share of US in the world GDP is expected to fall from 21% to 18% and that of India to rise from 6% to 11% by 2020, making India as the third leg in global economy after the US and China. 


 
Index of Industrial Production has grown by more than 10% as compared to 6% three years ago. The double digit robust growth has put the manufacturing sector back into focus, which had earlier shifted to IT sector and Pharmaceutical sector. 


The Indian economy has continued to record high growth rate in the current year and there is every reason to believe that 8% GDP growth rate is sustainable. The growth in infrastructure is continuing rapidly and the country's fiscal policies will ensure that there is no slow down in the economy. 

 
Electrotherm continues to grow at a fast pace: Second year in a row the company nearly doubled its turnover as compared to the previous year. Against turnover of Rs.1860.000 Millions last year, the company clocked an impressive figure of Rs.3450.000 Millions during the current year. The PBIDT jumped from Rs.170.000 Millions to Rs.450.000 Millions. 


The year gone by has been an important year for Electrotherm a year in which they faced unprecedented competition internationally. They met this challenge head on has successfully tackled this competition and protected its market share. 


The company is essentially an engineering and manufacturing company. The growth is being driven by the company's engineering and manufacturing capabilities. At Electrother m, the company has embarked on establishing a Waste Heat Power Plant of 30MW at Kutch. This will enable the company to establish an integrated steel and engineering company at Kutch


Future Plan


The last few years have been very challenging and of great significance for the company. The company has been undergoing major transformations in its market segments, business mix, revenue mix and profitability. The company has undertaken an elaborate exercise to re-engineer its revenue mix towards higher value added business with a view to improve shareholder value. 


From a single product and single market segment company, the company has matured into a diversified enterprise. 


The Engineering, Capital Equipment and Project Division: 


The engineering, capital equipment and project division will continue to focus on providing metallurgical solutions to the industry by making available to them superior products and technologies. The company expects that exports will become a major component of revenue in this segment. The existing scale of operations have demonstrated their project execution and management capabilities and their strong cash flows in this segment coupled with a huge reservoir of human and intellectual capital has created a unique opportunity for future growth. The company has signed an MOU with Beichen Hi Tech Industrial Park, Tianjin, China to set up an engineering unit in this industrial park. This will enable the company to make a foray into the fast growing Chinese steel and foundry market. 


Construction Steel Division: 


Last year the company entered the construction steel industry by setting up a steel unit in Kutch district of Gujarat. This venture provides a unique opportunity to the company by becoming a port based steel unit with an access to the ever growing market of Gujarat. The facility will enjoy fiscal incentives announced by the government. With backward integration of sponge iron and with the installation of Waste Heat Captive Power plant in the coming 24 months, the company will become one of the lowest cost construction steel producer in this part of the country. This division becomes the second segment in its revenue mix. 

 
Stainless Steel Division: 


The company pioneered the growth of stainless steel production in the country by introducing MRK (Metal refining Konverter) a few years ago and has now decided to enter stainless steel market by setting up modern facilities in their Kutch plant. The focus of the company will be to produce value added stainless steel bars, both for domestic and international markets. Proximity to Kandla Port will enable the company to make its mark in the overseas market where the appetite for stainless steel continues to grow. They will treat this as their third segment in their revenue mix. 


Structure and Alloy Steel Division: 


The demand for structural steel and alloy steel continues to grow on account of huge growth in infrastructure, power sector and automobile sector. With unprecedented growth taking place in transmission lines, power distribution, communication and automobiles, the company sees for itself a huge opportunity in this segment which will become its fourth revenue stream. 

 

Ductile Iron Pipe Division: 


Ductile Iron pipes advantages over normal cast iron pipes, HDPE pipes, welded pipes and concrete pipes due to its superior corrosion resistant properties and hygienic qualities. There is a huge demand for pipes in the country and internationally. The company has made a modest entry into this segment by setting up a state of tile art integrated plant. The entire plant and equipment has been made with in-house technology, which has ensured very low capital investment vis-a-vis its competitors. The company sees a huge growth opportunity in this revenue stream. 


Electric and Hybrid Electiric Vehicle Division: 


At Electrotherm they have set for ourselves a tremendous pace for innovation and development, from innovation to evolution, from steel to wheels. Electrotherm has innovated in all their endeavors to provide the utmost value to its customers. Electrotherm has completed a successful launch of its Electric Vehicles in the Gujarat market and in the current year will become a national player. Rising fuel costs has put a huge strain on their economy. Whereas the conventional vehicle manufacturers will try to introduce more fuel efficient engines, Electrotherm has taken a huge leap by launching vehicles which do not use liquid fuel. With their development of in house leading-edge technology and continuous product development activities, Electrotherm will strive to maintain leadership position in electric vehicles. They are confidant that this segment will witness rapid growth. This business becomes its sixth revenue stream. 

 
Five years ago, China hardly produced any electric two wheelers and within a short span their production has now reached a level of 10 million vehicles per annum. The rising fuel costs and the unacceptable pollution levels have created a huge opportunity for electric vehicles and the company is gearing up for selling this product all over the country and perhaps in the international market also. 


INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS: 


Two years ago, the company entered into a partnership agreement with HYL Technologies of Mexico, which is now apart of Techint Technologies, Milan, Italy. This has enabled the company to demonstrate its project engineering, project design and project implementation capabilities. The company alongwith its partners has bagged a prestigious order of US Dollar 30 Million in Middle East


The company has also been allotted land at Beichen Industrial Park, Tianjin, China to set up a manufacturing facility for production of Induction melting equipment, Induction Heating and Hardening equipment and Electric Vehicles including Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The company proposes to implement this project through a Wholly Owned Subsidiary.

Electrotherm believes in TQM (Total Quality Management) approach and therefore each and every component has to pass through stringent Quality Control procedure. At work in Electrotherm is a quality chain that binds all parts of their operations- from raw material sourcing to processing, from research and development to production, from stage wise quality inspection to delivery.

 

In fact, every time a customer sources a world class equipment from us, and they custom-design and deliver it to their satisfaction, that's not the end of the story for us. It's the beginning of a long and mutually rewarding industrial relationship. They continue to monitor the performance of the equipment through frequent client interactions and feedback. This enables us to continually upgrade their own abilities, and satisfy even the most demanding clients.

 

Electrotherm takes pride of being the only company in India where in all electronics cards are manufactured in-house under stringent quality control and supervision of well -qualified staff. Once the Generator/Power Pack is assembled, testing is carried out on no-load condition before dispatch to ensure satisfactory functioning of the equipment. This results in shorter duration for erection and commissioning.

 

To ensure that visualized Quality is built into its products, ET has a well equipped Quality Assurance department manned by Mechanical and Electronics Engineers.

 

ET's works regularly undergo Statutory & Independent inspections by LLOYDS, UDHE, SGS, INSPECTORATE GRIFFITH, EIL ( ENGINEERS (INDIA) LIMITED).

News Letter:

 

Transmitter to Steel

By Mukesh Bhandari,

Chairman & Managing Director

Electrotherm (India) Limited, 72, Palodia, Ahmedabad.

 

Objects and achievements giving satisfaction are unique in individuals. Mental faculty does not accept any level of achievement as a benchmark of satisfaction. The mind goes on searching for new avenues out of which satisfaction could be derived. This is a never ending process.., the way of life to any aspiring individual. This is the basic principle of development in any field; consider recycled paper or eco-friendly manure from food and agro waste, space shuttle or supersonic jet, the common factor is dissatisfaction or the urge to cross over to a new phase.

 

Engineer As A Tool

The society is not conscious about the role an individual plays in its development as a discipline. It looks towards the person as a tool whose contribution is not taken as that of an Engineer but as a man next door. Therefore, by and large the society considers an Engineer as a tool, which moulds and casts better living.

 

I am proud to be an engineer. I am proud to be an engineer because my mental faculty is a tool, which meets the needs of the society; the nation as a whole and above all, it gives me satisfaction to that extent.

 

Engineer Redefined

"Engineer", the term brings to mind a person who has acquired a degree in Engineering. The executive at the finance desk who crafts by sizing, exploring, addition, subtracting, scratching, scribbling and researching to arrive at most practical and balanced application of funds is also doing a sort of engineering. Similarly, a strategic planning done by a team, which may not comprise qualified engineers, is also doing a sort of engineering. A creative artist who designs the ads or s publicity material or an event manager is an engineer in effect.
