Change in Financial Year

 

The Directors have taken a decision to revert to the earlier practice of closing the financial year to end on 31st March which is, also in line with the financial year of The Tata Power Company Limited, the holding company. With this change, the Accounts for the financial year 2006-07 are presented for a period of 6 months commencing from 1st October 2006 to 31st March 2007.

Property Development

This activity consists of development of part of the property at Andheri with the assistance of THDC Limited.

 

Operations

 

The Strategic Electronic LoB secured an order for Unattended Ground Sensors from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and was partially executed during the period under review. This LoB continues to focus on securing orders for Surveillance Systems and Solutions for defence and Homeland Security including specialized applications such as Automatic Weather Monitoring and Data Acquisition using radio links, etc.

 

The ENMS LoB made further progress on execution of the Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL) project for City Distribution management System. In order to broaden the market reach, this LoB has developed SCADA applications for Light House Management in Shipping Industry, Hydro Power Plants and the Rural Load Management.

 

The Traction Electronics LoB received a major order for supply of Power Converter for 3 Phase AC Locomotives of Indian Railways. During the period under review, the LoB also supplied and successfully commissioned six power converters, against an earlier order. The operational performances of these converters have been found to be superior to that of similar converters supplied by alternate suppliers to the Railways. This LoB has added to its offerings, converters for use in AC coaches and diesel locomotives to expand the served market.

 

The Drives LoB continues to face intense price competition from the Multinationals. During the period under review, it received a major order for supply of MV Drives with a customized solution from a Indian engineering company.

 

During the period under review, the Building Mangement System LoB has launched systems for Integrated Building Management for the Indian realty sector such as IT parks, Hotels, Corporate Houses, etc. The Company along with its technology partner, Yamatake Corporation of Japan conducted seminars in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai which were well received by Users, Consultants and Contractors.

 

Outlook

 

The Capital investment in the industries served by ISD continuous to show decent growth and it is expected that this growth will sustain for the foreseeable period.

 

In view of the increased internal security concerns, the need for Surveillance and Detection Systems for key establishments such as Airports, Railways, Defence, etc has been growing. The Strategic Electronics LoB is well poised to utilize these growth opportunities.

 

With continued emphasis on reduction of Power losses, automatic billing etc., the need for Energy Network Management systems in steadily growing. With increased product portfolio, the ENMS LoB will continue to see a reasonable growth in the years ahead.

 

With the growth of Indian economy the Indian Railways is witnessing a greater demand for movement of people and goods which in turn will lead to the increased demand for AC and Diesel locomotives. This increased demand augurs well for the Traction LoB which has been successful in supplying equipment to Railways.

 

With the realty sector growing faster than the industrial sector, the demand for the Building Management system is growing at a much faster pace. The growth is opening up a large market for Integrated Business Management Systems. The LoB is gearing up to secure a sizeable share of this market with the support of its technology partner.

 

The ISD continues to make progress towards implementation of initiatives for growth and operational excellence. The initiatives include enhancement of product portfolio through alliances to enlarge the served and adjacent markets, strengthening of controls and improvements in business progresses. These actions will result in larger addressed market, efficient working capital management, cost reduction and customer satisfaction.
