MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS: 

BHEL has been actively pursuing an M&A strategy within the Navaratna guidelines. The company is looking at companies which offer access to new technologies and/or markets and also at opportunities to rapidly ramp up capacities to take advantage of the huge growth potential in its target markets. The company had modified the articles of association to equip itself to address such opportunities. A high level committee has been tormed to appraise the Board on the subject. 

The company has provided management support to BPCL (Bharat Pumps & Compressors Limited) and also discussing with GOI on takeover of BHPV (Bharat Heavy Plates & Vessels). 

Power Sector: 

The Indian economy witnessed robust growth during 200607 for the fourth year in succession. According to the advance estimates by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is expected to accelerate from 9.0 per cent in 2005-06 to 9.2 per cent in 2006-07. The acceleration in growth during 2006-07 was driven by the continued momentum in the services and manufacturing sectors. 

To ensure that Indian economy marches at an accelerated pace and is not hindered by infrastructural constraints especially from the power sector, the Government has accorded a high priority to the development of infrastructure including power sector in the country and capacity addition in generation, distribution reforms and rural electrification are the top most priorities of the Government of India. 

 
The country is planning to add 78,000 MW in XI Plan and over 85,000 MW in XII plan period. This is going to provide continued growth opportunities for the company as power equipment is the major business of BHEL, As per the Report of the Expert Committee on Integrated Energy Policy, the projected requirement of installed capacity may go up to 9,60,000 MW by 2031-32 under a 9% GDP scenario. 

 All segments of power sector are experiencing positive movements. While Coal is likely to continue to be the dominant fuel for the next 20-25 years, Ministry of Power is also working on strategies to improve hydro- thermal mix and developing hydro power at a faster pace, The Nuclear energy generation is also likely to get a boost after signing of the Indo-US Nuclear Agreement. 

T&D is now receiving a greater focus than ever before, as this sector has traditionally lagged behind the generation sector. Open access policy articulated in the Electricity Act would facilitate development of secure and economic national and regional grids, and also build in redundancy levels and margins based on international standards and practices. 

The emergence of Services sector, both in Generation and T&D areas, would provide a number of opportunities for BHEL in EPC, R&M, O&M, Overhauling, Power Plant Improvement Services etc. 

Industry Sector: 

Industrial production continued its growth momentum during April-February 2006-07, with growth accelerating to 11.1 per cent from 8.1 per cent an year ago. Growth during April-February 2006-07 was the highest since 1995-96. The manufacturing sector remained the key driver of industrial growth.

The robust performance of the manufacturing sector was largely led by 'Machinery and Equipments', 'Basic metal and alloy industries' etc. 

The envisaged healthy GDP growth will promote growth in industry sector with increased activity in infrastructure sectors such as, Oil & Gas, Steel, Petrochemicals, refineries etc. These developments provide ample opportunities for capital equipment manufacturers like BHEL.  

K. POSITIONING FOR THE FUTURE: 

* BHEL has crafted a 'Strategic Plan 2012' that will enable it's turnover to grow from US $4 billion to 10 billion by 2011-12. The plan focuses on ensuring a sustainable profitable growth for the company over the next five years. The growth plans for the company in the next five years are expected to be driven by capacity and capability enhancement that will leverage the company's efforts in its core area of power, supported by industry, transportation, transmission, exports and spares & services businesses.  

* The company is taking long strides to become a major global player by further enhancing its presence in international markets and it has identified overseas business as one of its future thrust areas. The company is looking at exports as one of the key growth-drivers and is targeting a six-fold increase in physical exports from the current levels. Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) route would be pursued to avail inorganic growth opportunities in order to enlarge the company's operations both in domestic as well as export markets. 

 * With the establishment of 10,000 MW p.a. manufacturing capacity by the end of 2007, BHEL has factored into its plan an enhancement to 15,000 MW p.a. by Dec 2009 at an investment of around Rs. 32000 Millions. Having already tied up technology to produce higher rating super-critical thermal sets, this will further strengthen the position of the company in the domestic market. 

* Subject has put in place necessary technology tie-ups for next generation thermal power plants base on supercritical technologies in the range of 800-1000 MW unit ratings having higher efficiencies and reduced emissions.

Subject is also ready with introduction of Advanced class Gas Turbines as Power projects based on higher rating large size Gas Turbines are expected in the market place. Further, introduction of higher rating hydro turbine generator sets have also been planned. 

* Spares & services business is expected to be the next growth opportunity for the company where revenues are expected to increase four-fold from present levels. The marketing activities of spares & services have already been consolidated and systems capability is being strengthened to address various market segments. BHEL is well positioned to undertake Renovation & Modernisation in view of the fact that it has supplied nearly 65% of India's total installed power generating capacity. Another significant advantage for BHEL is its established service network, spread across the country, Proximity of service centers, which helps in reducing plant downtime, is a major structural advantage.  

* The engineering & technology character of the organization shall be enhanced with focus on innovation and R&D, where R&D spend will be increased by at least six times. 

 * In order to retain competitiveness, various capability-building initiatives like Design-to-cost, Purchase and Supply Management, Lean Manufacturing taken up at Bhopal and Hyderabad plants will be put in place across the company. 

* The business model being adopted will give BHEL the ability to cope with complexities, risks and continual change while defending market share in the core business of power sector.
