General Performance Review


 
During 2005-06, the GDP grew at a robust rate of 8.4 and for the first quarter of the current year, (April-June'06) clocked a growth of 8.9%. The economy has been on an overall growth trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The services sector continued to play a prominent role in this growth by virtue of both its high share as well as rapid expansion. It grew at a healthy rate of over 10% and contributed 64% to the overall growth. The industry sector grew at a higher 8.79'0 with the manufacturing sector having put up a strong performance registering 9% growth. Agriculture, forestry & fishing sector, which grew by 3.9% during the period showed an improving trend. 


Infrastructure development has been the key in sustaining economic growth in the country. India has made considerable progress over the last few years and the Government has set a clear direction for improvement in infrastructure by taking concrete steps. In the power sector, it has already initiated setting up of ultra mega power projects of 4000 MW each with public-private partnership. Emphasis was also laid on modernization & up gradation of old power plants. Further, the Government has taken significant policy initiatives to improve conditions for attracting private investment and FDI for infrastructure projects. The Government's thrust on strengthening the Railway resulted in large investments being earmarked for modernization, expansion and technology upgradation. Addressing the need for more efficient airports, the Indian Government has begun an aggressive drive to modernize existing airports. The international airports in Delhi and Mumbai are being upgraded with private sector participation. To further facilitate fund flow, the FDI cap in the sector has been moved to 49%. 

 

Siemens with its strong portfolio in infrastructure covering Power plants, Transmission & Distribution, Airports and Railways, was in a good position to leverage the wide spectrum of opportunities in the present growing infrastructure segment. The Power Generation (PG) Division witnessed an exemplary performance with several breakthrough orders in domestic as well as export markets. Similar performance was witnessed in the Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) division with huge export orders and substantial growth in the High Voltage segment. The business volume of the power segment alone grew by 255%. The Transportation Systems business consolidated its market leadership amidst fierce competition from international players. The entry into the traction segment further strengthened the position of the transportation group in India


The Industry segment sustained a growth rate of 8.7% in 2005-06 with the overall index of industrial production (IIP) recording a growth of 8.1%. The IIP has also continued its impressive performance during the first five months (April-August) of 2006-07 by reporting year on year acceleration of 10.6%. This strong growth momentum continues to be dominated by the buoyant manufacturing and construction sectors. The growth in domestic and overseas demand has been a catalyst for investments, new projects, as-well as plans for modernization and capacity enhancement being announced. This has spurred the business confidence. The capital goods and consumer goods sector had a stellar performance in 2005-06 recording double-digit growth. Industries such as cement, coal, automobile, and metal also grew well. As a consequence, Siemens' Industrial businesses registered an impressive performance. 


The Healthcare market in India showed a positive annual growth of 16%. While the expansion and modernization of hospitals by both the public and private sector continued, the Government also sustained its efforts of extending healthcare facilities in rural and semi-urban centres in India. There was also increased demand for cutting edge equipments and technology in the industry. This in turn, had a positive impact on medical tourism in the country. These opportunities helped Siemens Medical Solutions maintain its leading position in the market. 


The Telecom sector in India continued to register a healthy growth. The continued modernization of India's public telecommunication infrastructure had a positive impact on the enterprise communications market. Further, the lower and mid-market segments of the enterprise market registered highest growth. In this encouraging market scenario, the enterprise communications businesses of Siemens strengthened its market leadership and gained substantial market share.

 
The Indian Software and services industry maintained its steady growth and witnessed increased spends by the companies. The Global Industry witnessed a gradual shift from cost reduction & regulatory compliance to revenue growth oriented initiatives. The year also witnessed the coming of age of the Indian IT multinationals with the traditionally India-centric, indigenous players beginning to build noticeable global presence. In this scenario, Siemens Information Systems Ltd., registered impressive performance across all its business parameters. 


To sum up, a GDP growth of 8.4%, multi-billion dollar FDI proposals, domestic companies going on aggressive overseas expansion and surging stock markets finally forced the world to acknowledge India's rise as an economic power on the rise. On the back of this commendable growth of the Indian economy, Siemens witnessed a remarkable performance. The year was also eventful for the company, which celebrated 50 years of its manufacturing presence in the country. During the year, Siemens announced the setting up of a Greenfield Steam Turbine factory at Vadodara. In addition to this, large investments were made for capacity expansion at existing factories and mergers & acquisitions that were completed during the year. 

 

Further reviews on each of Siemens' businesses are given separately in the following paragraphs:

 
Energy: 
Power Generation (PG) Division:

The power sector continued to remain favorable in 2005-06. New thermal power generation projects of approximately 6500 MW were finalized in the last fiscal. Overall, there was a capacity addition of 3,468 MW (utilities) & electricity generation grew by 5%. To fulfill its mission, 'Power for all by 2012', the Government continued its emphasis on enhancing power generating capacity through green-field projects and modernization of old power plants. Further, the industrial sectors such as steel, paper and cement have done exceptionally well, resulting in commensurate addition in industrial power plants. As a consequence, the power plant automation market also witnessed a substantial growth in the last fiscal. 


The Power Generation(PG) Division witnessed an exemplary performance in 2005-06, with healthy growth in all parameters. The Order value jumped by 598% and Sales increased by 184% over the last fiscal. The Division maintained its position as no. 2 supplier of turbines in the industrial sector. Apart from substantial improvement in service network, divisions's successes were driven by high rate of innovation, leading to local value creation and addition.

 
Amongst several breakthrough orders won by PG, the most significant order was from Torrent Group for setting up 1100 MW Sugen CCPP at Surat using 3 nos. advanced class gas turbine (SGT5-4000F). Other major orders were for 2x150MW STG sets from Bhushan Energy and for 2x24 MW STG sets from Dwarikesh Sugars. The orders in the Automation sector included the Burner management systems for 12 units of Neyveli Lignite Corporation, R&M of 2 units of UPRVUNL, Obra TPS in addition to the 5-year maintenance contract from Konaseema Gas Power. Exports orders from Bangladesh Power Development Board for Supply, installation & commissioning of SIMEX-G Generator Excitation system at 2x55 MW Ghorasal Thermal Power station and Ceylon Electricity Board for the Supply, installation & commissioning of the Distributed Control System at the Sapugaskanda Power Station were also important. 


PG commissioned several projects successfully including the 130 MW STG Set for JSW Steel and 57 MW STG for Essar Steel. PG also developed SST 200 low-end turbines for <8 MW market range and introduced RG3 based Brushless Excitation systems in India. The automation group also commissioned the 155 MW Bhander CCPP, 70 MW GSECL-Kutch Lignite Power plant, 3x200 MW NTPC Ramagundam Stage-I Excitation system, 38.5 MW Jaiprakash Industries captive power plant at Rewa and 120MW MAHAGENCO project, Uran. 


Outlook:

With Government's ambitious target of adding about 61GW in Xth plan, investments in new projects and modernization of existing power plants are expected to continue. The Government has already initiated setting up of ultra mega power projects of 4000 MW each with public-private partnership. Private sector players like TATAs, Reliance, Torrent, Essar have shown keen interest in developing large capacities in the private sector. PG Division has clearly identified its growth areas that include focusing on large utility projects, industrial sector power projects, targeting service market and enhancing exports to neighboring countries as well as offering instrumentation packages, wider product spectrum, upgrades and services. Further, with addition of the new Industrial turbine factory, the Division would be in a better position to take advantage of the market opportunities.

Siemens Transportation bags order for Mumbai Suburban Railways

 

Siemens Limited Transportation Systems Division (TS) has bagged a Rs. 4830 million order from the Ministry of Railways for supply of complete electrical systems for Mumbai suburban trains, making it the single biggest order for the company in recent times.

 

December 29, 2003, Mumbai: Siemens today announced the signing of a major order of Rs. 4830 million with the Ministry of Railways for the supply of complete electrical equipment including the traction package for Mumbai suburban trains. This comes in the wake of the Railways' drive to upgrade its train services and ease the congestion on Mumbai suburban rail network thereby provide greater relief to commuters.

 

After a competitive bidding process that involved four parties, Siemens Limiteds Transportation Systems Division (TS) won the mega order to be executed over a period of 36 months. The system will be supplied to Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai, which will build the complete trains for operation on both of Mumbai suburban arterial networks, the Central and Western Railway.

 

This order involves development, engineering, manufacturing, supply, and supervision of erection and commissioning of complete energy-saving electrical system on trains. The scope includes supply of Pantograph, Current Transformers (CTS), Potential Transformers (PTS), Vacuum Circuit Breakers, traction transformers, traction converters, motors, microprocessor-based controls and other auxiliary equipment including passenger information systems.

 

This equipment has state-of-the-art IGBT-based (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) three-phase technology with microprocessor-based controls, whereas, the entire system is based on Siemens' SIBASTM controls with self-diagnostic features. The System supplied will be suitable for operation on dual voltages, i.e. both the 1,500 V direct current (DC) system, which is currently in use, and the 25,000 V 50-cycles systems, which will replace it in the future.

Built on proprietary know-how and designs of field-proven technology of Siemens AG, these systems will be adapted to suit local environmental and climatic conditions and will have a high level of local value-added content, to be largely procured or locally manufactured. Offering multiple benefits, the system will not only reduce energy consumption by upto 30 percent, but will also decrease the overall maintenance cost resulting in a considerable saving for the Railways. Passenger comfort is considerably enhanced due to smooth acceleration and braking without jerks.

 

Comments Mr. J. Schubert, Managing Director, Siemens Ltd, "Over the past two years, the Government of India has taken some initiatives to improve the transportation infrastructure, particularly roads and highways. It is encouraging to see that the Government is now also increasing thrust on the rail transportation sector, which is in need of modernization, especially to ease the congestion, provide greater safety and enhance comfort for passengers." He further added, "This order is a strategic breakthrough for their transportation business in India, especially the traction segment which is a focus area. "


Explaining the importance of the order, Mr. V.B. Parulekar, Executive Vice President and head of Transportation Systems Division, says, "This is a major challenge for all involved to meet the stringent quality and delivery demands. With their longstanding experience in this segment, backed by the latest technology from Siemens AG, a world leader in Transportation systems, they are confident to make this project a successful and beneficial venture for the Railways. This order will provide a huge boost not only to their business, but will also benefit the ancillary industry in a larger way."


The Transportation Systems Division of Siemens Limited is a leading provider of electrical systems for the safety and traction segments for Indian Railways (IR). The Division's portfolio includes solutions for rail automation, railway electrification, light and heavy rail, locomotives, trains, turnkey projects and integrated services. Over the past few years, the Division has registered an impressive double-digit growth despite budgetary constraints on new investments faced by the Railways

 

It employs around 3811 persons in its set-ups.

Siemens to be Global Partner of Expo 2010 Shanghai China

Partnership to make the Expo vision – “Better City, Better Life” – a reality

München/ Shanghai, May 21, 2007

Siemens is the very first multinational company to independently become the Expo 2010 Global Sponsorship Partner. Under an agreement signed today in Shanghai with the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, the company will be – effective immediately – a “Global Partner for Innovative Infrastructure and Healthcare of Expo 2010 Shanghai China.” “Siemens will apply its know-how to develop and modernize the city’s infrastructure and to support the Expo with the latest technologies in the areas of rail transportation, building management and healthcare solutions,” said Dr. Klaus Wucherer, member of Siemens’ Corporate Executive Committee, at the signing ceremony.

“Ever since the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London – the world’s first international industrial exposition – Siemens has been actively involved in exposition projects. Altogether, we’ve participated in and provided valuable technological support for 16 world expositions. That’s all the more reason why we’re so pleased to be able to contribute their experience and worldwide knowledge once again and help make Expo 2010 the most interesting, the most successful and the most unforgettable world exposition of all times,” said Wucherer.

Expo 2010 – which will take place from May 1 to October 31, 2010 – is expected to attract over 70 million visitors from China and around the world. For the host city Shanghai – one of the world’s most dynamic urban centers – the exhibition will generate new opportunities for growth as well as major challenges. Siemens’ business portfolio and core competencies can provide everything that Shanghai needs for sustainable urban development and the infrastructure required for major events like Expo 2010 – solutions for energy, environmental protection, industrial automation, public infrastructure and healthcare.

“Expo 2010 is a milestone in their partnership. We’d like to express their sincerest thanks to China, the city of Shanghai and, most of all, to the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination for this opportunity to help make the Expo vision – Better City, Better Life – a reality,” said Dr. Richard Hausmann, President and CEO of Siemens China.

The partnership agreement was signed today by Dr. Klaus Wucherer, member of the Corporate Executive Committee of Siemens AG, Dr. Richard Hausmann, President and CEO of Siemens China, and Mr. Hong Hao, Director General of Shanghai World Expo Coordination. Mr. Hu Yanzhao, Vice Mayor of Shanghai Municipality, Madam Zhong Yanqun, Vice Chairman of Executive Committee of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, and other distinguished guests witnessed the signing at the ceremony.

Madam Zhong Yanqun emphasized that the successful preparation and organization of World Expo 2010 would not be possible without the support from all walks of life, especially from the business circle. The participation of Siemens further added to the number of enterprises that sponsor Expo 2010. Meanwhile, Siemens is the very first multinational company to independently become Expo 2010 Global Sponsorship Partner. This will encourage more multinational companies to participate in Expo 2010. The Shanghai Expo serves as an opportunity as well as a stage, for not only companies in China, but also companies all over the world that have strategic vision and outstanding performance.

“Siemens is linked with China and, in particular, Shanghai by more than 100 years of partnership and trust. As a reliable partner and responsible corporate citizen, it’s a great pleasure and a great honor for them to be a Global Sponsorship Partner of Expo 2010. This is a clear sign of their commitment to Expo 2010 and their partnership with China and Shanghai,” noted Houseman.

Since 2001, Siemens has been actively assisting and making a major contribution to the preparations for Shanghai’s Expo 2010. In July 2007, Siemens became the first multinational company to establish a dedicated organization for Expo activities.

Exelon Generation awards Siemens the “2006 Operational Excellence Award” for consistent, seamless support of its Nuclear and Power business units

Erlangen, May 18, 2007

Exelon Power and Exelon Nuclear, two business units of Exelon Generation, have honored Siemens Power Generation with the 2006 Operational Excellence Award for Siemens’ dedication to safety, emergency response, quality and service implementation. The award recognizes suppliers that demonstrate exceptional performance in support of Exelon's operations. Exelon Power serves the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Texas regions with fossil fuel and hydroelectric power generation. Exelon Nuclear operates the largest nuclear fleet in the U.S., and has the third largest commercial nuclear fleet in the world.

As the largest nuclear operator in the U.S., Exelon expects its suppliers to share its commitment to safety, on-schedule performance and seamless operational excellence.

Exelon honors suppliers that excel in key focus areas, including supplier diversity, safety, emergency response and operational excellence, by recognizing them with awards at their annual Exelon Supplier Summit. The 2006 Operational Excellence Award was presented to Siemens at the 2007 Exelon Supplier Summit held in Oak Brook, Illinois.

"From the Exelon Nuclear perspective, Siemens has achieved this honor through consistent and outstanding leadership, as well as an overwhelming sense of plant and equipment ownership. The integration of the emergent LP turbine blading work at Braidwood and the emergent generator repairs at Byron represent great leadership examples where Siemens was able to implement these challenges with a high degree of human performance, quality, and more importantly, safety,” commented Tyler Anthony, Exelon Energy Delivery vice president, Transmission and Substation, and former vice president of Outage and Planning Services at Exelon Nuclear.

He further stated, “Siemens stands out as a unique service supplier that is always in lock-step or one step ahead of Exelon in support of their common goals and plant operation. Remarkably, the Siemens leadership team has been able to seamlessly integrate a large and complex organization into a ‘one-stop-shop’ in support of Exelon Nuclear in order to achieve their operational goals for 2006.”

Mark Schiavoni, president of Exelon Power added, “Siemens has been very responsive and flexible to Exelon Power's needs during this past year. For one specific outage, Siemens implemented a risk-management tool that enabled Exelon to solve potential problems and put contingency actions into play yielding significant benefits. Siemens not only addressed the high profile issues, but also brought forward solutions to smaller problems, which contributed to their superb outage execution and performance."

“Exelon is an important alliance customer that has exhibited confidence in their service capabilities for many years, and it is a tremendous honor to receive this award from a company with such high standards,” said Craig Weeks, president of the Siemens Power Generation Operating Plant Service Division. “It demonstrates how the alignment of their goals can lead to an ongoing, successful partnership.”

Siemens signed a service alliance agreement with Exelon Nuclear in 2002 and with

Exelon Power in 2003. Siemens previously received the Exelon Safety Award from

Exelon Nuclear in 2005.
