MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY

The initiative taken by the Government to restructure the power industry and the focus on Accelerated Power Development 6 Reform Programme (APDRP) by the Ministry of Power has resulted in significant developments and growth of the transformer industry in India. The Government's ambitious plan for capacity addition of 78,000 MW during the current Plan period could witness a big boost in demand for transformers. The transformer industry in general is going through a boom phase, The Company put in an excellent performance and gross sales increased by 68.52% to Rs.1879.300 Millions in 2006-07 from Rs.1115.200 Millions [2005-06]. The net sales increased by 67.56% to Rs.1553.700 Millions in 2006-07 from Rs.927.200 Millions [2005- 06]. The net profit increased by 136.97% to Rs.262.100 Millions in 2006-07 from Rs.110.600 Millions [2005-06]. The Company's product mix, strategies and control over costs has resulted in higher realization per MVA viz. Rs.0.676 Millions/ MVA in 2006-07 as against Rs.0.503 Millions/ MVA [2005-06].

 


OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND RISKS

The Company is a prominent player in the transformer industry in South India and has currently expanded its manufacturing capacity from 2450 MVA to 3350 MVA. With the commissioning of the OVDT and Kancheepuram Plant, the Company will have an installed capacity of 7450 MVA.

 

Their results of operations could potentially be affected by the following factors:

* Their ability to successfully commission the Expansion Project at the scheduled time;

* Their ability to manufacture the transformers as per the requirement of their clients;

* Their ability to continuously operate and maintain their manufacturing facilities optimally;

* Their ability to continue to source raw material at competitive rates for their existing and new transformer manufacturing plants;

* Their ability to manufacture transformers using the latest technologies in terms of modern Materials, components and processes.

 

There has been a spate of expansions by various companies in the transformer industry for manufacturing different types of transformers. Hence there is a possibility of lower margins in view of the competition. The increase in cost of inputs like CRGO steel, copper, bushings etc. is a cause for concern.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

The Government's initiative to restructure the power sector has given a substantial boost to the transformer industry. The importance attached to the Power Sector by the Government and the mega power and infrastructure projects is expected to generate substantial demand for the Company's products.

 

The Company had embarked on an Expansion Plan and three Projects were taken up for implementation, namely:

 

1. Relocation and Modernization of Saidapet plant into a new Distribution Transformer Plant of 750 MVA /annum at Thirumazhisai

 

2. Setting up of Dry Type Transformer Plant at Thirumazhisai.

 

3. Setting up a new Power Transformer Plant with a Capacity of 4000 MVA/ Annum up to and Including 400 KV class of transformers at Illuppapattu Village, Kancheepuram.

 

Production is in full swing at the Distribution Transformer Plant. The Dry Type Transformer Plant is expected to commence trial production in June 2007.

 

The work of setting up a new Power Transformer Plant with a Capacity of 4000 MVA/ Annum up to and including 400 KV class of transformers at Illuppapattu Village, Kancheepuram is progressing satisfactorily and is expected to be completed by October, 2007.

 

The present order book of the Company stands at Rs. 1720.000 Millions.

 

The Company has started receiving export enquiries and is confident of meeting the requirement of various range of its transformers for its export customers in the near future.
