LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

HISTORY

 

RPG Telecom, formerly Karnataka Telecables, was jointly promoted by KSIIDC (Karnataka State Industrial Investment & Development Corporation) and Asian Cables Corporation (ACCL). It later changed its name to RPG Cables (RPGCL) on 21 Sep.'92.


RPGCL, a major player in the jelly-filled cable industry, set up a project with an installed capacity to manufacture 0.625 Million sophisticated equipments for Maillerfer, Switzerland; ETS Pourtier Pere Fils, France; DCM International, US; and Dussek Cambel, UK. The project was completed in 1987. It entered into a technical collaboration with Pheeps Dodage International Corporation (PDPC), US, for technical know-how to manufacture telephone cables. The plant was commissioned in Mar.'87 and commercial production commenced in 1987. The DoT successfully completed manufacturing processes in 1986-87 and quality assurance programmes in 1987-88 (15 months). 

 
RPGCL promoted a joint venture - Sprint RPG India - which, in technical and financial collaboration with Sprint Mail, US, has launched E-mail services in eight major cities in India. It has entered into a tie-up with BICC, UK, to manufacture optical fibre cables in Mysore (inst. cap. : 40,000 fibre kmpa).In 2000-01 the company bagged orders from MTNL & BSNL. 

 
In the OFC segment the prospects looks promising where the company has already has expanded its capacity to 444,000 FKM. The Power Cables division has expanded its capacities at the new plant at Silvassa from 2000 Km to 3000 Km. The company restructured its business into SBU's and in each sector viz Telecom Cables,(JFC) Power Cables(HT & LT cables) and a new business called Telenet Solutions which will undertake all activity relating to laying of cables, erecting towers and providing turnkey solutions for setting up communicating networks. 
 
RPGCL has expanded the installed capacity of Jelly Filled Telephone Cables, Optical Fibre Cables & Power Cables during the year 2002-03 by 2637000 CKM, 235000 FKM & 34680 KM respectively. 

 
The company has expanded the installed capacity of Power Cables during the year 2003-04 by 600 KM and with this expansion the total capacity of Power Cables has risen to 41016 KM.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: 

 
Despite non-availability of working capital throughout the year under report, the Company has achieved a marked improvement in performance. The turnover increased by 58.52% and the Gross Profit has been positive after several years. In view of substantial write back, on account of Financial Restructuring, the Company has reported a Net Profit of Rs. 17.700 Millions as against a loss of Rs. 395.400Millions for the previous year. 

 
FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING: 

 
The Company has entered into a One-time Settlement (OTS) with majority of its lenders. Deutsche Bank, Mumbai have granted financial credit facility to the tune of Rs. 1034.700 Millions to finance the OTS payment to the lenders. Deutsche Bank, Hong Kong has subscribed to 500 fully convertible debentures of Rs. 5,65,000/- each aggregating to Rs. 282.500 Millions. The debentures will be converted into 61,01,511 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a price of Rs. 46.30 per share. In addition, the promoters of the Company have subscribed to 10,00,000 equity shares at a price of Rs. 46.30 per share and also 33,33,500 optionally convertible warrants of Rs. 46.30 each giving option to the allottees to apply for 33,33,500 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a price of Rs. 46.30 per share. 
 
The funds have been utilized to make payment to the lenders as well as for the working capital requirements, which will enable the Company to grow the business. 

 
With the financial restructuring, the debt burden of the Company has come down to about Rs. 2000 Millions resulting in substantial savings on interest cost to the Company. 

 

COMPANIES (DISCLOSURE OF PARTICULARS IN THE REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS) RULES, 1988: 
 
The information relating to energy conservation, technology absorption, foreign Exchange earnings and outgo as required to be disclosed under Companies (Disclosure of Particulars in the Report of Board of Directors) Rules, 1988 is given in the Annexure to this Report. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE 

 
The Company today operates in two segments viz., Power Cables and Telecommunication Cables. The respective industry scenario are as under: 

 
Power Cables 

 
The demand for Power Cables still continues to be strong. The Company could only partially capitalize on this demand due to working capital constraints. With the completion of financial restructuring and consequently more funds being available to the Company for its working capital requirements, the Company expects to further improve its performance in the current year. 

 
Telecom Cables 

 
There is a steady improvement in the off-take of both Jelly Filled and Optical Fibre Telecom Cables, due to the expansion in the networks of the State owned Telecom companies, as well as the private operators. 

 
The above trends are likely to continue in the near future, resulting in substantive growth, particularly for Power Cables.
