The main customer segments include households, commercial establishments, public-sector undertakings, government departments and defence establishments. The company markets its products under the Yamaha brand. 
 
It has started exporting sets to its collaborators in Japan. It plans to diversify its product range by introducing new models and launching multi-purpose engines for the semi-rural and rural areas. It also intends to deal in various electrical equipments like inverters, to cater to the middle-class in the domestic market.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT (MDA) 

 
Industry structure and developments: 

 
The Company is engaged in the production of Portable Gensets, Multi Purpose Engines, Pumpsets, Sprayers, inverters and wind energy. In addition to this the Company is engaged in trading of imported gensets and electrical items. 

 
While the diesel gensets are popular among rural/industrial consumers, urban consumers prefer petrol/kerosene based portable gensets and inverters. 

 

In the recent years inverter because of its advantages of easy, automatic, noise less operation and relatively low running cost is cutting sales of petrol/kerosene based portable gensets. Portable gensets industry is also facing stiff competition from cheaper Chinese products. 

 
Multi purpose engines manufactured by the Company are useful particularly to small / medium scale farmers having small land holdings. The products are extremely compact, light weight, portable and efficient and are becoming popular in the farming community because of their reliability, low maintenance and low running costs. 
 
There are number of branded/unbranded players of electrical appliances having cut throat competition among themselves. 
 
Despite of cheaper cost of production, wind energy is not very much popular in the Country and the industry is passing through initial years of its evolution.

The lineage of the Yash Birla group is from Mr. Rameshwar Das, Grandfather of Mr.Ashok Birla. The sudden demise of Mr.Ashok Birla, in 1990, plunged his son Yashovardhan into the corporate jungle. But the circumstances that lead him to take up the mantle when he was only 23 years old, have helped Yash and his Group to emerge stronger than ever before. Yash, as he is often called, not only nursed back sick companies to health but moved on to give the Group a dynamic strategy. He integrated operations of various companies, moved out of unrelated areas, and expanded operations in related areas. He gave the Group a dream, a global vision and an integrated approach.

The Yash Birla Group consists of a number of companies spread all over India. Under the charismatic leadership of the Chairman, successful forays have been made into many areas like Generators, Multipurpose Engines, Chemicals, Yarns, Pipes, Consumer Durables, Precision Cutting Tools etc. After achieving a combined turnover of Rs.15000 Millions, the Group is now set to make a mark in the IT world as its latest diversification.

The Yashovardhan Birla group is a part of the famous house of Birla. Birlas have been a significant part of Indian public life since the freedom struggle. Post independence they played a significant part in scripting an industrial development of the country. Chemistry of the success of Birlas can be attributed to a successful marriage between tradition and professional needs in tune with time.

Yashovardhan Birla group has various industries spread all over India. Under the dynamic leadership of Yashovardhan Birla, the company made successful forays into many areas like generator sets, multipurpose engines, chemicals, yarns, pipes, consumer durable, precision cutting tools etc. The group’s combined turnover is Rs.1500 crores. Over the years the group has identified new pastures to start operations. The latest in the menu of diversification is Information Technology. The strategy of the group is consolidation in tools, chemicals and information technology and consumer durable. With an eye on markets overseas and modern technology, the group has established tie-ups with the market leaders like the Yamaha Motor Company (Japan), Oswald Forst (Germany), Samputensili (Italy), Klingelnberg Solne (Germany Kenametal Inc. (USA), Besmer (Germany) and Fonderia Peruchini Spa (Italy). Needless to say, the group has reaped benefits from such ventures. In 1986, the group gave India the first portable diesel generator set. Today, the soft purr of the genset is audible in every nook and corner of the country making it India’s largest power solution provider. Birla Ecogen is a product manufactured by Birla Power Solutions Limited in collaboration with Yamaha Motor Co. Limited Japan. Birla Ecogen is an advanced genset. As a group committed to social responsibilities, the product is designed to minimize the harmful effects on the environment. It is the most ecofriendly genset. Every Birla eco-friendly genset confirms to the strict pollution control norms of the Central Pollution Control Board, Ministry of Environment and EPA of USA. The gensets have been specially designed to cut down the emission like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons without sacrificing the efficiency. Birla Ecogen 4-stroke gensets incorporate new features such as, PR alternators for flicker free power, automatic fuel changeover system for convenience, oil alert system to prevent engine from seizure and side fuel tank for safety in case of accidental leakage of fuel. These gensets are UPS compatible and are effortless to start. Unlike most gensets the fuel tank is not located on top of the engine, but on the side which ensures that in event of any fuel leakage there is no explosion or accident. Birla Power Solutions Limited is the first company in India to have ISI marked engines and alternators for its entire range of gensets. Today it is certified both with ISO 9002 and ISO 14001. The company has a network of 850 dealers, which ensures after sales service and other demands of the customers.

Care for Gensets

  • Keep the genset on a level surface.
  • Switch off the genset before refueling and shifting.
  • Operate the genset at least 1 meter away from a building wall or any equipment, to allow good air circulation for effective cooling.
  • Do not put a dust cover on the genset while in poor cooling, overheating and malfunctioning.
  • Operate the genset away from inflammable objects.
  • While refueling, be sure that the engine is not running.
  • Set the fuel cock lever at the ‘OFF’ position before refueling.
  • Avoid spillage and quickly wipe off any spilt petrol.
  • While refueling, ensure that no dust or water gets mixed with the fuel.
  • After refueling, replace the fuel tank cap.
