CFLs: 
 
Burgeoning electricity bills, increased awareness amongst the consumers, promotional schemes, environment protection movements, lackluster variety and performance of local and Chinese brands has set the stage for Indians to shift to Branded energy saving Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). Havells is already one of the largest manufacturers of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) in India with installed capacity of 2.2 millions CFLs per month at two state of art manufacturing plants at Faridabad and Haridwar. 

The worldwide demand for CFLs is about to explode as the world is waking up to the global warming issues and many countries are contemplating a defined time period for phasing out GLS lamps and banning them which will result in demand shifting in favour of more energy efficient products like LEDs and CFLs. The Company has made a comprehensive plan of expanding its manufacturing facility multifold in a new location at Neemrana to create a possibility to grab the opportunity that will be generated in terms of CFL demand worldwide which shall be catered through Havells and Sylvania's marketing and distribution network all across the globe.

Fans: 
 
Havells has captured a high premium position in the fan segment, by providing the market with innovative designs, premium finishes and energy efficient performance. The Company is expanding at the rate of 60% plus in fans every year. The fully integrated state of art manufacturing plant set up last year at Haridwar, is being further augmented to expand capacity to cater to the fast growth of Havells market.

Industry Overview: 

The impressive growth of the industrial sector, propelled by robust growth in manufacturing has continued unabated during the current year so far.

Year-on-year industrial growth of 10.6 percent in the first nine months of 2006-07 was the highest recorded since 1995-96. In seven of the eight months of the year 2006-07, the year-on-year growth of the manufacturing sector was in double-digits. 

In the year until November, the year-on-year growth of the overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP), which measures the absolute level and percentage growth of industrial production as well as its three subsectors, viz. mining, electricity and manufacturing, in April-November 2006 was higher than that in comparable period of the previous year. 

The micro and small enterprises (MSEs) constitute an important segment of the Indian economy. The process of economic liberalization and market reforms, while exposing the Indian MSEs to increasing levels of domestic and global competition, has also opened up attractive possibilities of access to larger markets and of stronger and deeper linkages of MSEs with larger enterprises. Improved manufacturing techniques and management processes can be sourced and adopted with greater ease. 

Spurred by high growth rates of over 200/o in 65 segments, India's manufacturing sector has clocked a growth of 13% in the first nine months of the 2006-07 (April-December 2006). The sectors which have recorded excellent growth during the period April, December 2006 over the April-December 2005 are electrical equipment & machinery (25%), electric motors-rotative (24%), circuit breakers (29%) switchgears (37%), power transformer (220/0) distribution transformers (26%), power cables (41%), hydro electric power (24%), construction equipment (22%), energy meters (15%). 

 
India has recently emerged as an' important manufacturing hub for a number of industrial products and is poised for major expansion in some manufacturing segments as revealed in the recent trends. The growth in manufacturing has exceeded 12% during April- September 2006. 

Manufacturing industry and consumer durables industry in particular has paid increasing attention to concentrate on high-end and superior technology products which have paid rich dividends. 

The increasing demand for sophisticated lifestyle products from a steadily growing middle income group in the country has encouraged production of superior better quality products pertaining to home appliances, precision instruments, a host of engineering items, Automobiles, auto component, steel products, FMCG products etc. 
 
With strong demand over the past few years Indian companies are enhancing their global services delivery capabilities through a combination of greenfield initiatives, cross-border mergers & acquisitions, partnerships and alliances with local players. This is enabling them to execute end-to-end delivery of new services. 

The robust growth of manufacturing sector is set to fuel the growth as the Company serves this a slew of products. However, their growth is further consolidated by constructive developments in the power sector, the construction and real estate and outsourcing in manufacturing. 

Corporate Review: 

The Company showed excellent results and make its maiden foreign acquisition during the year. The details of the performance are provided later in the report. 

Notwithstanding the intense competitive pressure, the Company maintained its leadership position in most of its business domestically and strengthened its presence in select international markets. During the year, the Company had to cope with increasing customer expectations, global competition and the pressure on margins. The Company had to address the challenges of talent augmentation resource optimization and value creation. 

Outlook: 
 
As the country enters into the first year of the Eleventh Plan, the sustained growth of the industrial sector is crucially dependent on removing the infrastructural impediments, especially, in the power sector.

Capacity additions through investment is critical for accelerating growth in industry. The investment scenario looks quite optimistic, particularly with rising domestic savings rates and FDI inflows. Sustained economic growth, fiscal consolidation and an enabling policy environment will continue to provide incentive to capacity addition in industry and sustaining its high growth. 

The Commonwealth Games, will be held in the year 2010 in Delhi and, around one million foreign tourists are expected to visit India. The Government has framed a master plan for Delhi for its modernization with better infrastructure facilities. This will result in growth of aviation, hotel, real estate, industries. This will definitely results into business generation for the Company for its each segment. 

The government has rightly emphasized the need to address India's huge infrastructure needs. Shortages of electricity and clean water are widespread, while inadequate roads, ports, and airports are increasingly constraining the booming economy. Given the limited ability of India's public sector to increase spending, a successful approach will require an expansion of public private partnerships. Progress has already been achieved in some areas, notably in the development of model concession agreements for roads (which have attracted significant private participation) and the recent awarding of private contracts to modernize Delhi and Mumbai airports. Further progress will depend on advances in creating a regulatory environment across all sectors that is conducive to private participation. 

Financial Management: 

 
Management of funds is considered very important and vital to the Company's Growth. The financial system takes care of the management of the funds.

Senior management reviews the requirement of funds periodically.

Operational and Finance Team monitors the manufacturing operations and implementations of the projects and ensures that budgetary provisions are strictly adhered to. 

The Company's Financial Management has held it in good stead over the years and has given it the unbeatable reputation of being the profitable Electrical manufacturing company in the Country for its size of operation. 
 
The Company had initiated moves in its right earnest for repaying and swapping the high interest borrowings with low interest rate funds.

Currently the total borrowings of Rs.561 million comprising term loans of Rs.406 million and working capital and other loan of Rs.155 million.
