Overall Review: 

 

Subject is a 70-year-old diversified Company, with interests in Lighting, Luminaires, Appliances, Fans, and Engineering and Projects. In the financial year 2007-08, the net turnover of the Company has increased to Rs.14030 millions as against Rs.11130 millions last year, registering a growth of 26.06%. The costs of inputs in key raw materials like Steel, Copper, Plastic and Aluminum continued to escalate, thereby affecting the material costs adversely. The industry continued to witness intense competition for market share and significant pressures on margins and profits. With the dereservation of some of the items, which were earlier reserved for exclusive manufacture in the small scale sector, the entry of giant multi-national players in the manufacture of products in which the Company deals will further intensify the competition and may squeeze the margins and profits. 


As in the past, during the current year also the Company continued its focus on enhancing revenue growth through introduction of new products, expansion of the dealer and retailer network along with good brand building efforts. The various actions that the Company had taken for effective cost control, value engineering, competitive sourcing and improving credit discipline including introduction of channel finance continue and are giving good results. India continues to be a high growth economy with exciting opportunities for all and the Company has also geared to reap the benefits of industrial growth.
