The Company started its Overseas Marketing office in Dubai catering to the markets of Africa and Middle East, which has also resulted in increased turnover from this region. 

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES 
 
Cables are the crucial infrastructure backbone of an economy, the critical elements that wire up the length and breadth of the country. Thus, the opportunities prevailing in this sector are as follows: 

 
 * The government's ambitious targets of 200000 MW generation capacities by 2012 from 114000 MW are providing a compelling growth environment for the cable sector. 

 
 * A recent report prepared by the power ministry sees 1:1 correlation between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and addition of power generation capacity in the initial years of the Eleventh Plan, which starts in 2007. 

 
 * After mega thermal power projects, it is now the turn of large transmission on projects worth approximately Rs.200000 mn which are being thrown open to private bidders on BOOT (Build, Operate, Own and Transfer) basis. 
 
 * Besides core infrastructure companies, power transmission EPC companies and power ancillary companies like subject will benefit from the demand. 

 
 * The power deficit in the northern and western regions is currently around 18 to 20 per cent, in contrast to the surplus situation in the eastern and north-eastern region at 26 and 5 per cent. This disparity has lead the government to increase its focus on up gradation and expansion of inter- regional transmission capacity. The ramp up of inter-regional transmission capacity from 11,500 MW to 37,150 MW by 2012 would also provide a fat order book for cable companies. 

 


INDUSTRIAL CAPEX 

 
Demand from local industry expansion is currently estimated at around Rs.80000 mn with a growth potential of 15-20 per cent per annum and expected to generate huge demand over 5-7 years. 

 


REALTY SECTOR  

 
India's dynamic real estate sector is emerging as one of the fastest growing sectors with the potential to grow from current USD 12 bn to over USD 45-50 bn in next 5 years. This augurs well for the cable industry as cabling is an intrinsic part of any realty structure. The realty sector predominantly uses the LT cables and house wires for wiring purpose which form 2-2.5 per cent of the project cost. It is estimated that demand for power cables from this sector will touch nearly Rs 34 bn over a 5 year period. 

 


EXPORTS 
 
 * Industry estimates suggest that Africa and West Asia regions would spend about USD 20 mn in the next 4 years on power transmission and distribution infrastructure. 

 
 * Countries in the Gulf region have laid heavy emphasis on infrastructure.

 

The implementation of the Gulf Electricity interconnection grid will also provide opportunities to power cabling and EPC companies.

 
 * It is estimated that OPEC member countries have committed a total of USD 58 bn to various refinery projects over 2005-2011, which translates into power cable demand of approximately USD 1 bn. 

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CABLES  

 

A well known fact - that in economic term, 1 MW of power entails an investment of approximately Rs.30-40 mn, of which cables form 2-3 per cent.

 

Power transmission generates demand for HT cables - an estimated 3.5 per cent of the total capex. In addition to this, industrial expansion and power co-generation also generates demand for cables which form 2-2.5 per cent of the total capex. 

 


FUTURE OUTLOOK

 
The anticipated investments in Infrastructure, Power and Industrial Sectors, it is expected that the demand for Company's product will continue to be Robust. The results of HT Power facility, which has been commissioned, will be reflected in the first full year of production i.e. 2007. The company is also undertaking expansion of its Silvassa Unit for House Wire for the Retail Segment. Keeping in view benefits expected from HT facilities and expansion in LT Power Cables and ongoing expansion in House Wire / Flexible Wire facility at Silvassa, it is expected that barring unforeseen circumstances there will be substantial increase in sales and profit of the Company during the year 2007-08. 

 

COMPETITIVE STRATEGY


The company stands to gain over its competitors due to the following:

 
 * Subject has a strong brand name in the institutional segment. Its sells 70 per cent of its products to institutions. 

 
 * The company services esteemed clientele and it has been accredited with approvals from blue-chip companies nationally as well as internationally.
