REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE:

 

Despite  the  tough working conditions during the last six  months  due  to fire/blast  at IOCL's depot adjoining the Jaipur manufacturing unit,  Genus has  been able to achieve new milestones in both its top and bottom  lines. Income  from operations shot up by 16% to Rs.6632.297 millions during the  year 2009-10 from Rs.5707.783 millions in preceding year 2008-09. The profit  before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (PBITDA) for the year  2009-10 registered a growth at 3% to Rs.963.715 millions from Rs.935.639 millions in  2008-09. The profit after tax (PAT) for the year 2009-10 surged by around 6%  to Rs.514.586 millions from Rs.486.309 millions in previous year 2008-09. The  earning per  share (EPS) (before the extraordinary items) for the year ended  March 31, 2010 amounted to Rs.34.48 against Rs.32.55 in previous year 2008-09.

 

During  the  year, the Company has written off book  debts  of about Rs.294.787 millions, which represent various deductions made by indenting agencies, pursuant to the terms of supplies.

The total  loss of  which  came  to Rs.250.725 millions disclosed  under  extraordinary  items. Production  at Jaipur unit consequently suffered for almost 6  months.  The assets  of  the  Company were insured except Loss of  Profit  ('LOP').  The Company  has filed a claim of Rs.363.668 millions for the said losses with  the insurance  company and it is expected to be settled very soon. The  Company is  also  going  to lodge a claim for its Loss of  Profit  ('LOP')  against Indian Oil Corporation Limited under their third party insurance coverage.

EXPORTS:

 

During  the  year, export of the Company was  at  Rs.  60.514 millions

 

As  per  worldwide  market survey reports, there  are  around  1.7  Billion electricity  meters  installed  in the world. It is estimated  75%  of  the installed  base still consists of Electromechanical meters, while only  25% of  them  are  static  (electronic) type. The  growth  of  the  Electricity Metering  industry  has traditionally been driven by new  construction  and replacement  of  old  meters.  More and more  countries  are  planning  and enforcing    regulations   to   ensure   replacement   of   all    existing Electromechanical  meters  and new installation meters  are  Electronic  in nature  for reasons such as tamper prevention, data reading,  inclusion  of communication  features etc. As a result there lies a huge  requirement  of Electronic electricity meters worldwide. As per an estimate, the demand  of electronic  electricity meters will be for 125 Million or more every  year. Their company is formulating an Export Strategy to tap this vast  opportunity thereby increasing its overseas customer base.

 

Today, the world is moving towards advanced metering such as AMR (Automated Meter  Reading),  AMI (Automated Metering Infrastructure),  AMM  (Automated Meter  Management). These require meters based on advanced  technology  and usage  of different types of communication modems that permit utilities  to read electronic meters over long distance. You would be happy to know  that the  company has developed this capability and is geared up to  participate in international tenders for such meters.

 

Their company through its overseas alliance is continuing its focus in Brazil for  export of its electronic meters. SAARC and Middle East  Countries  too are in the process of becoming large consumers of these electronic meters.

 

Their  company has successfully developed STS compliant Keypad based  prepaid meters,  which are in great demand in African countries. These meters  have already been exported to an African country. Majority of African  countries are  using Prepaid Meters and through this newly developed  Keypad  Prepaid Meters, the Company is confident of tapping the market in African countries aggressively in near future.

 

Genus  with a vision to truly go global in Power Backup Solutions  ventured deeper  into  developing nations last year by spreading its  wings  through Africa,  Middle  East,  SAARC countries and even USA.  The  power  back  up solutions  comprising  Inverters, UPS, and Solar Products  have  been  well accepted  by  most emerging nations as a cost effective solution  to  their power  crisis.  With global warming triggering a growing demand  for  solar products,  the  company  is also tapping US, UK and  European  markets.  At present  the  majority of International business is to Western,  Eastern  and Central  Africa,  SAARC  nations and the United  States  of  America.  With continuous  new  developments and additions in its UPS /  Inverter  product portfolio,  the company is expecting a high growth in this division in  the coming years.

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC REVIEW:

 

Last decade was one of the badly hit periods for western economy.  However, India,  being  a  cost effective and labour  intensive  economy,  witnessed stability  in  its  economic growth. India's  strong  economic  growth  has primarily  been  driven by a strong performance of  its  manufacturing  and service sectors and local consumption base coupled with higher spending  by the  governments.  During  the time of the grave  recession  in  the  World

economy, the Indian government announced the stimulus packages that  worked a lot to prop up economic growth of the country.

 

India,  an  emerging economy, seems to have recovered from  the  impact  of global  shock. India's GDP for 2009-10 expanded at  a  better-than-expected 7.4  per cent as compared to 6.7 per cent recorded in 2008- 09. The RBI  is optimistic  on GDP growth with its 8 per cent G DP growth forecast for  the year  2010-11  based on an assumption of a normal monsoon  and  sustainable good  performance  of the industry and services sectors. According  to  the latest IMF projection, India will grow at 8.8 percent during the year 2010-11. The economic survey expects India's GDP to return to 9% in 2011-2012.

 

It  has been realized that in order to give a fillip to overall  industrial growth, there is a need to develop infrastructure to complement and sustain the  economic  growth momentum in India and this is also reflected  in  the recent budgets and announcements of the Union government.

 

POWER SECTOR: REVIEW AND OUTLOOK:       

 

Electricity  is  the  vital  requirement for  all  infrastructure  and  other sectors,  so it is necessary for it to grow up. In the  present  globalized competitive environment, electricity is very essential to achieve economic, social  and  environmental objectives of sustainable economic  as  well  as social development. Increased power consumption is one of the indicators of increasing living standard and development of the mankind.

 

At present, India has an installed power capacity of approximately 1,59,000 MW, which is approximately 4% of the global capacity. The per capita  power consumption  (per year) in India is about 720 KWh (or units), which is  far away  from  the global per capita consumption of power of about  2,340  KWh (Units).  However,  the Central Government aims at 1,000 units  per  capita consumption per year by 2012.

 

In the year 2009-10, Indian power sector performed exceptionally well  with an  aggregate  capacity addition of 9585 MW or 66 per cent  of  its  target level  of  14507 MW. According to India's  Central  Electricity  Authority, during  the  year  2009-10, though the  total  ex-bus  energy  availability increased by 8% over the previous year and the peak met increased by  7.5%, the shortage conditions prevailed in the

 

POWER INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR: REVIEW AND OUTLOOK:

 

It has been well-accepted that appropriate and efficient power infrastructure is  prerequisite  for steady growth of the power  sector.  The  electricity infrastructure mainly consists of three sections- generation,  transmission and  distribution.  Each section has to be perfect and  efficient  to  make whole electricity system perfect and viable.

 

Despite  various  reform  measures  undertaken  in  Power  Transmission   and Distribution ('T and D') sector, the important parts in the electricity  supply system  are  some what weak in the country. Over the  years,  T and D  sectors' functional  and  commercial  viability have  been  impacted  negatively  on account  of  high  Aggregate  Technical  and  Commercial  ('AT and C')  losses, inadequate  metering, poor recovery of dues and decrepit T & D  networks.  As per the report of the Thirteenth Finance Commission, the net loss of  State Transmission  and  Distribution (T and D) utilities is a  staggering  Rs.273.17 billion  (BE  2008-09) , an increase of 48.66% over the 2005-06  figure  of Rs.183.17  billion.  The  report has projected  the  State  T and D  utilities' aggregate losses at 2008 tariff levels, to be highly shocking at Rs.1 16.09 billion,  which, if saved, can facilitate capacity addition of 29022 MW  at Rs.40 million per MW. As of now, pilferage, wastage and loss of electricity are  the  main constraint instead of generation and  supply  of  electricity, which need to be resolved immediately to get a better performance from this sector.

 

Moreover in India, the transmission requirement is getting bigger and  also getting   more  complex  day-by-day  mainly  on  account  of  trading   and development of merchant power. The intra-state transmission  infrastructure

also  continues  to  be  a worrisome. Although  the  sector  has  witnessed moderate  growth as a result of the government's  Restructured  Accelerated Power  Development  and Reform Programme and higher  budgetary  allocation, still there is need to do a lot to meet the consistently rising requirement of the power sector in India.

 

The government's ambitious mission of 'Power for all by 2012' and target of power  capacity addition to about 79,000 MW during the 11th five-year  Plan (2007-12)  and  approximate  1,38,000 MW during the 12th  Plan  are  almost impractical without having proactive action plan for T and D infrastructure and continual focus on that.

 

The  necessity  of  power  sector's  reform  has  been  recognized  by  the governments  and  private sector. The efforts are being  reflected  in  the recent   budgets,  power  reform  policies,  regulations   programmes   and

announcements of the Union government and also in the recent IIP numbers of India.

 

POWER SECTOR REFORMS: REVIEW and OUTLOOK:

 

Electricity  is  the  key to accelerating economic  growth,  generation  of employment,  elimination  of poverty and overall  development  of  society. Indian  power sector has been greatly affected by wide gap  between  demand

and  supply  of  electricity,  huge  Transmission  and  Distribution  losses, Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses and poor financial health of  State Electricity Boards. Moreover, power sector was primarily dominated by State

Electricity  Boards/Discoms  and  other public  sector  players,  with  the results  there  was  little competition and  deregulation.  Therefore,  the Government/ministry of power has taken several steps and initiated  several reforms, some of which are described below.

 

Electricity Act 2003 has been enacted and came into force with effect  from 15.06.2003.  It is a multi-faceted legislation with multiple features.  The objective  is  to introduce competition, protect consumers'  interests  and provide  power for all. The Act provides for National  Electricity  Policy, rural  electrification, open access in transmission, phased open access  in distribution,  mandatory SERCs, license free generation  and  distribution,

power  trading, mandatory metering and stringent measures to prevent  theft of electricity.

 

The Indian Electricity Act, 2003, was amended by the government in 2007  to provide  access  to electricity to all areas including villages  and  hamlets through  rural electricity infrastructure and electrification  of  households through  the joint effort of the concerned state government and  the  central government.

 

Re-structured Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme  ('R-APDRP') was  approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in  its  meeting held  on 31.07.2008 as a Central Sector Scheme. The focus of the  programme is  on  actual, demonstrable performance in terms of  sustained  AT and C  loss reduction. The total five-year allocation of R-APDRP was fixed at about  Rs 51,0000 millions. The programme aims to cut aggregate technical and  commercial losses  made  by  power utilities to 15%. It has  been  realized  that  the establishment of reliable and automated systems for sustained collection of accurate base line data, and the adoption of Information Technology in  the areas  of energy accounting will be essential before taking up the  regular distribution   strengthening   projects.  Renovation,   modernization   and strengthening of 11 kV level substations, transformers/transformer centers, re-conductoring of lines at 11 kV level and below, load bifurcation, feeder separation,  load  balancing, HVDS (11kV), aerial bunched  conductoring  in dense areas, replacement of electromagnetic energy meters with tamper proof electronic  meters,  installation  of capacitor banks  and  mobile  service centres  etc.  has  been emphasized under this  programme.  Increasing  the allocation for APDRP by 160% to Rs 2,0800.000 millions in budget 2009-10 will boost the  capital  goods sector, with direct benefit going  to  companies  which manufacture transformers, electronic meters, cable and substations.

 

Rural  Electrification  Policy was notified by the  Central  Government  in 2006.  The  Policy  aims  at provision of  access  to  electricity  to  all households,  quality  and  reliable power supply at  reasonable  rates  and minimum  lifeline  consumption of 1 unit per household per day as  a  merit good by the year 2012.

 

Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana ('RGGVY'):

 

In  rural electrification policy notified under the Electricity Act,  2003, rural  electrification  is  viewed as the key  for  acceleration  of  rural development.   Provision   of  electricity  is  essential  to   cater   for requirements  of agriculture, village industries,  health-care,  education, and information technology. Therefore, the Ministry of Power has introduced an  ambitious scheme RGGVY in April 2005. The scheme aims  at  electrifying all un-electrified villages and provides access to electricity to all rural households. 

 

This  programme  has been brought under the ambit of Bharat  Nirman.  Under this  scheme, project could be financed with 90% capital subsidy for  rural electrification  infrastructure  through  creation  of  Rural   Electricity Distribution Backbone (REDB) with one 33/11 kV (or 66/11 kV) substation  in every  block  where it does not exist, Village  Electricity  Infrastructure (VEI) for electrification of all un-electrified villages / habitations  and provision of distribution transformer (s) of appropriate capacity in  every village  /  habitation and decentralized Distributed Generation  (DDG)  and Supply  System from conventional sources for Villages /  Habitations  where grid  supply is not cost effective and where Ministry  of  Non-Conventional Energy Sources would not be providing electricity through their programmes.

 

Under   the  scheme  about  67,000  villages  have  been  electrified   and electricity connections released to more than 8.200 millions BPL households.  The continuation of RGGVY in XI Plan was sanctioned on 3rd January 2009 with an outlay of Rs.28,0000 millions. Additional 332 projects costing Rs.16,5060 millions  have  been sanctioned during XI Plan. Cumulatively 567 projects  have  been sanctioned under the scheme for Rs.26,2390.000 millions for electrification of 0.118 millions villages  and  to  provide  free  connections  to  24.600 millions BPL households.  The  target  for the year 2010-11 is  for  electrification  of 15,000 unelectrified villages and offering electricity connection to around 4.600 millions BPL households.

 

For effective and quality implementation of the projects, the Ministry  has adopted  turnkey  mode  of  implementation,  threetier  quality  monitoring mechanism  and mile stone based project monitoring. States have been  asked to  provide  minimum  6  to  8  hours  of  electricity  to  the   villages. Establishment  of  franchisees  has  been  made  mandatory  for   effective distribution management.

 

The  Budget  2009-10  gave  a big boost to  this  programme  by  increasing allocation by 27% to Rs.7,0000 millions over the budget estimate in 2008-09.

 

INNOVATIONS, TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

 

In  the  present digital age, innovation in energy efficiency  and  advance technology  deployment  has  become very  essential,  especially  for  loss reduction and energy conservation strategy. This may include bifurcation of feeders,   replacement  of  deteriorated  conductors,  de-augmentation   of transformers,  load balancing of transformers, implementation of real  time monitoring, effective load management of the distribution system, extensive use  of  prepaid meter, HVDS systems, energy accounting  and  auditing  and extensive use of IT in all applications/systems. It is well recognized that without the help of innovations, improved technology and its extensive use, the power sector can not prop up growth of Indian economy at large. In  the recent  announcements,  programme  and  policies  for  power  sector,   the government  is found keen on absorbing the improved technology and  use  of IT, extensively.

 

In  fact,  the power distribution and generation utilities  in  India  have started  to  use IT and advanced technologies as a key tool  for  improving revenue  collection, minimizing AT and C losses, proper energy  accounting  and efficient  consumer  services.  Still, there is lot to  do  for  developing synergy between IT and the power sector where company like Genus  providing innovative  technologies  can  play  a  crucial  role  in  improving  power utilities' efficiency and productivity.
