GROWTH PLANS IN EXISTING BUSINESS: 

HT CABLES-132 KV PROJECT: 

The Company its setting up a Green Field Project to manufacture HT Power Cables in 11 KV to 132KV range, 2000 Kms at an estimated cost of Rs. 300.000 millions. The project has been designed on CCV line Technology which is being procured from Scholz, Germany and the Testing lines from China. The project is located on a 16 acre premises near existing plant. The plant is expected to be in operations before March 31, 2008. 
 
LT CABLES-15000 KMS EXPANSION PROJECT: 

The Company's existing LT Power Cables facility can manufacture upto 5500 kms per annum. With the grown demand of Specialty Cables such as Aerial Bunch Cables and Fire Retardant Cables, the Company is proposing to invest Rs. 380.000 millions in setting up a very large LT cables facility at the existing site. The proposed expansion will go on stream in three phases by June 2008. 

 
STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS: 

EPC CONTRACTS-TURNKEY PROJECTS: 

The Company started a Turnkey Project - EPC Contracts business in August 2006. On completion of one year the division has grown to about 500 persons team with three large ongoing projects from Electrifications under RGGY Scheme in Baroda. Anand and Bhavnagar Districts of Gujarat, with another 9 projects lined up, the EPC Business of the Company is expected to grow substantially. The Company has committed Rs. 250 million for this division, 
 

TRANSFORMER BUSINESS: 

The Company has made rapid strides in Power Infrastructure Business and has leadership position in Cables and Conductors segment along with the turnkey business. Its long term vision of being an integrated power infrastructure meant an investment in Transformers business. The Company acquired Western Transformers in March 2007 and Apex Electrical Limited., in June 2007. The combined capacity of Apex and Western along with the group companies of Apex comes to 12,500 MVA making capacities in the top 5 Transformer manufacturers in the country. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 

 

Introduction: 
The objective of this report is to present the Management's perception of various developments in the business environment, challenges and opportunities before the Company as well as to provide an analysis of the Company's performance. This report also summarizes the Company's internal control measures and significant initiatives taken by the Company to respond to such opportunities and challenges. It should be read in conjunction with the Directors' Report to the members, Financial Statements and Notes forming part thereof. 

 
Macro Economic Scenario: 

Indian economy continued to perform well with real GDP growth of 8% in 2005-06 and remained one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

 

Many of the economic parameters remain strong and positive. Industrial growth has been sustained at 9%. Total exports from the country have crossed the US$100 billion mark. However inflation, primarily due to the impact of soaring oil prices, has also been keeping pace despite efforts put in by the Government to contain the same. 
 
There is also tremendous interest in India the world over, as a destination of 'choice' for Investment and trade. The strong economic fundamentals, the growing purchasing power are the two factors which are contributing towards this attractiveness. However there is one uniform concern expressed at every forum, namely the lack of adequate and sustained investment in improving the crumbling infrastructure including ports, power, roads, civic amenities etc. The political compulsions did impose restrains on the government and contributed in a major way to the failure of decisive action. Unfortunately, the situation does not seem to be any different in the years to come. It is very obvious that only time-bound substantial investment by the central and State Governments along with active Public private Partnerships will help to correct this situation and provide the underlay to sustain the economic and social growth. 

 
Investment Argument: 

Investments to drive demand growth: 

US$100 bn investment coming in power generation, transmission, distribution, rural electrification, upgrading of existing distribution networks, industrial capacity expansion, housing, and construction would drive demand growth for power cables in India, Further any increase in investments incurred in distribution would increase cables demand significantly. They believe that the industry is poised for demand growth on the back of improved investment scenario in the country. 

 
All capacities operating at near optimal operating rates: 

While cables are sold in kilometers, its production is limited to the metal drawing capacity of the plant~ They understand that most of the plants in the country are operating at nearly optimal capacity utilization levels (80-85%), which limits the players' ability 'to cater to huge demand growth. 

 

Industry Background: 

Capital formation is 'driving demand for various products one of them being cables. Cables are required in almost every new construction be it a house, factory, power plant, IT park, etc. Beyond this, demand from power sector for laying new and upgrading existing power distribution network across the country would drive demand growth for cables. 

 
Types of Cables: 

Cables are of two types conductors and cables. Conductors are bare open non-insulated cables, which are used to wheel high-tension power. Then come power cables, which are further segregated into high-tension, medium-tension, and low-tension cables. Broad categories of cables are: 

 

Products: 

·         XLPE insulated cables:     Voltage grade: From 1 KV up to 66 KV 

·         PVC insulated cables:      LT Power Cables up to 1.1 KV Power Cable up to 11 KV and Control Cable 

·         Rubber insulated cables:  TRS Flexible Cables, Welding Cables, and HT Cables and Collery Cables 

Speciality Cables: 

Fire Resistance Low Smoke Cables (FRLS) Industry Flexible Multicore Round Cables, Mining and Shielding Cables 
 
Demand Drivers:

Rising Demand for cables comes from the following sectors: 

·          Across the board increase in investment to drive demand for cables:  

·         Industrial capex (on construction of new plants and factories) 

·         Power generation, transmission, and distribution  APDRP and upgradation of existing networks

·         Housing

·         Construction of IT/ITES complexes, malls, multiplexes, etc.

 

They deal with each of the major consuming sectors in detail. 

 

Industrial investment: 

Increasing capacity utilization levels and aggressive capex plans by all major companies shall drive demand for cables:

 

Industrial investment coming in form of factories and buildings and other electrical equipments and machinery would require power cables be it high-tension or medium-tension or low-tension. This would drive demand for power cables in industrial sector, going forward. 

 
Industrial capex is picking up on the back of increasing industrial production with revival in economy. 
 
They have seen various companies operating on optimal capacity utilization. 

 
Rising industrial production coupled with positive outlook for manufacturing sector going forward and companies operating at optimal capacity utilization levels, would drive capex plans in industrial sector.

 

Various companies have already announced ambitious expansion plans and many would follow suit. 
 
Rising Investment plans of corporates would drive demand for power cables from industrial sector. 
 
High power generation targets in 11th plan: 

 
Planning commission and Kohli Committee have pegged aggressive investment targets in power generation in 10th and 11th plans. 


From the table above, total investment in power generation in 11th plan is pegged at around Rs 2,488 bn. 

 

To result in higher demand for power cables: 

In power generation high-tension cables and control and instrumentation cables are required. Cables account for nearly 3-3 1/2 percent of total project cost- This means, for every mega watt of generation capacity added, demand for power cables would be around Rs 1.2 to 1.4 mn. 


They have assumed that 2% of the project cost is cables, which translates into cable demand of Rs 27.4 bn: 
 
Therefore, if India has to add nearly 62,000 MW of power generation capacity in 11th plan, then cables demand would be Rs 74.7 bn. They have assume a demand of cables to be 1% which is a demand of Rs 27.4 bn. 
 
Investment in transmission to increase at a faster pace: 

Investment in transmission is pegged at Rs 695 bn in 11th plan: 

Investment in transmission is required for evacuating power, from the power plant to the grid and also for augmenting inter regional grid network in the country. Beyond this, regional and state level grid network are also being built. 

 

Table: Investment in transmission in India: 

 

10th Plan 11th Plan  Total 

Centre 241 283 496 State 260 300 560 Private 97 112 209 Total 571 695 1,265 

 
... Boosting demand growth of cables: 

 
Demand for cables from transmission sector is expected to be around Rs 25.3 bn: 

 

In transmission, major chunk of demand is for transmission towers and conductors. Cables requirement is pegged at around 3-3 Y2 percent,. Kohli Committee Report has pegged -investment - in transmission at around Rs 700 bn. They understand that this investment plans are again quite conservative, because the thumb rule for investment in transmission is Rs 20.000 millions for every mega watt of capacity added. So, if 62,000 MW of power generation   capacity is added, then investment in transmission could be around Rs 1,244 bn. Accordingly, demand for cables would increase commensurately. They have assumed demand of cables at 2% of investment, which is Rs 25.3 bn. 

 
Distribution to attract highest investment: 

Distribution and rural electrification would generate investment of Rs 1100 bn, and further demand coming from APDRP is a major demand driver: 

 
Distribution is the backbone of all power sector reforms in the country.

 

This has been a neglected area and here again the investment is pegged at around Rs 500 bn in 11th plan. 
 
They expect this investment to pickup rapidly with proper implementation of The Electricity Act, which would result in setting up of new networks and replacement of existing networks. 

 
To result in demand for cables: 

 

Distribution is the largest consumer of power cables, as distribution is the only place where huge quantum of cables is consumed. The share of power cables in total outlay is around 30-40%. They have assumed cables demand to be Rs 12.5% of distribution spending, which is equal to Rs 137.5 bn. 

 

Ambitious capex plans make railways a major spender: 

Railways plans to invest Rs 1,170 bn in modernization, safety, and new lines, which includes investment in signaling, which would result in demand for cables: 

 
Indian Railways have embarked on aggressive plans to expand and modernize its network. Indian railway plans to lay railway line costing around Rs 780 bn. Also a sum of Rs 220 bn has been allocated for freight corridor.

 

Further an amount of Rs 170 bn has been allocated to Special Railway Safety Fund (SRSF) for upgrading rolling stock, signaling and fault locating cables, etc. 

 
30-40% of signaling capex is spend on cables. Also nearly 10-15% of SRSF would be allocated for signaling. Also in normal projects nearly 10% of the project cost would be signaling. This translates into demand for cables of around Rs 117 bn. 

 
Real estate boom makes cables sector bloom: 

US$10 bn real estate and housing sector is growing at a around 20-25%. Going forward, they expect real estate sector to continue its growth on the back of rising demand for residential property from increasing number of nuclear families and easy availability of housing loans. 

 
IT and ITES sectors are growing, which is resulting in development of IT parks and development centers. This is giving further boost to Capital formation in service sector infrastructure.  

 
Real estate projects require medium tension and electrical cables, and with construction activity on an upturn, demand for cables would rise: 

 
In real estate, low-tension cables called housing wires are used extensively, Consumption of housing wires is around 2-2.5% of total Cost of the project. With housing sector growing, they expect demand for housing wires to grow. Thereafter, the demand for cabling and LAN cables would grow in commercial buildings and TV cables in case of housing complexes. These all factors would drive demand for cables. They have assumed that the demand from this segment would be 1% of investments, which is Rs 2.3 bn.
