 SALE OF BUSINESSES :

 

The Company has constantly faced the challenge of achieving growth in terms of revenue and profitability due to diverse portfolio, limited offerings and lack of critical mass. Despite having core competencies, execution of prestigious projects and references built over the years by Traction Electronics, Industrial Drives, and Supervisory

Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) consisting of Industrial Supervisory Control Data Acquisition System (ISCADA)and Power Sector Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (PS - SCADA) businesses (“Businesses”), these businesses were facing major challenges in achieving sustained viability in the future. The Board of Directors of your Company at its meeting held on 29th April, 2010, approved the transfer of these Businesses as a “going concern” on a slump sale basis to Crompton Greaves Limited (“CGL”) for a total consideration not exceeding Rs. 920.000 Millions, subject to necessary statutory consents and approval by the Members.

 

On 14th June, 2010, the Members approved through postal ballot, the sale of these Businesses to CGL by passingan ordinary resolution pursuant to sections 293(1)(a) and 192A of the Companies Act, 1956, read with the

Companies (Passing of Resolution by Postal Ballot), Rules, 2001. The votes cast assenting to the Ordinary Resolutionwere 1,16,19,913 shares (99.96%) of the total valid votes polled. On 28th July, 2010 i.e. the Closing Date, the Businesses were transferred as a going concern to CGL on slump sale basis for a consideration of Rs. 810.000 Millions.The additional Rs. 110.000 Millions has not been received as the financial parameters to be met by 30th September,2010 were not achieved.

 

While your Company transferred the Traction Electronics, Industrial Drives and the I – SCADA businesses to CGL on 28th July 2010, the PS - SCADA business shall be transferred at a later date after obtaining the requisite clearances from relevant Government / Public Sector Authorities. Pending this transfer, the Company received the entire amount of consideration i.e. Rs. 810.000 Millions

 

Following the sale of these businesses, the Company intends to focus on building its position in Strategic Electronics, Network Systems (Tatanet) and pursue further synergistic opportunities in related areas.

year 2009-10 are attached. The revenue of TNSL for the year ended 31st March, 2010 was Rs. 289.975 Millions

[Rs. 252.368 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2009.

 

 

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

 

There is consistent focus on development of Human Resources (HR). HR plans have been defined with appropriate measurement indicators keeping in mind both long term goals and short term requirements. Employees’ voices are captured through ‘Open Houses’, the forum through which employees are encouraged to voice their concerns, suggest innovative ideas and also seek answers from the top management on issues of common interest. The Company constantly reviews facilities and benefits to enhance overall employee well being. Employee Satisfaction / Engagement Surveys are carried out through external agency to formally assess the voice of employees. Action plans have been prepared and are being implemented to increase employee engagement.

 

Since the Company is in the high tech and high visibility areas of telecommunication (Tatanet Division) and Electronic Security and Surveillance (Strategic Electronics Division), maintaining the talent pool and competence building for the core areas of strength and the challenge of attracting and retaining talent continues. The Company has initiated measures like employee referral scheme, competency mapping, providing growth opportunities to existing employees and strengthening the Performance Management System (PMS) to include assessment on Tata Leadership Practices, training need assessment, identification of high potential employees and development plan for employees. Recruitment cycle time has been reduced and the attrition rates have been kept at a manageable level. The PMS recognizes individual and segment wise contribution through performance linked pay, thereby motivating employees’ ownership and responsibility. RACE (Reward and Recognition for Achievement and Contribution towards Excellence), a comprehensive reward and recognition scheme, has been put in place for motivation of employees for excellence in performance. In Tatanet Division, ‘UNWIND’, a monthly informal gathering on the last Friday of each month, has been successfully serving as a forum to foster teamwork in an informal manner. The Company maintained cordial industrial relations during the period under review. The total manpower employed during the period was 336, after the transfer of the employees of the Businesses hived off to CGL.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Strategic Electronics (SE) :

 

The Strategic Electronics business of the Company (SE) has been active in the homeland security, defence, industrial process viewing and meteorology fields and has made several strides by way of securing some prestigious orders and their successful and timely execution.

 

The Company is addressing the growing market of the homeland security and surveillance activity, particularly for the Indian Railway security related tenders and is getting qualified for all the major tenders being floated by various zonal Railways.

 

The Company, while addressing industrial process viewing business, has focused on industries in oil and gas, petrochem and refinery, power sector and steel sector. The Company has established itself with prestigious references and is on the approved list of all the major consultants, OEMs and EPC contractors.

 

In the upcoming area of meteorology, the effort to work in the Automated Weather Station (AWS), the hydrograph projects, etc. are being pursued with suitable collaborators.

 

The Company expects homeland security / defence, industrial process viewing and meteorology market to grow many folds in the coming years. Based on the successful track record in executing the defence and security electronics orders so far and the appropriate technology tie-ups by the Company, it is expected to be a major line of business and is likely to contribute significantly to the growth and profitability of the Company in the years ahead.

 

Financial Highlights:

 

During the period under review, automation and control system achieved revenue of Rs.595.291 Millions (12 Months) as against Rs. 1782.715 Millions in the previous year (18 months), with an operating loss of Rs.155.914 Millions  (12 Months) as against operating profit Rs. 124.419 Millions in the previous year (18 months).

 

Opportunities and Threats :

 

Though the security and surveillance market has been projected to be very large and growing, the predictability of

the business will remain questionable at best, due to difference in perception about adequate level of security required. This also opens up an opportunity for the Company to play a consultative role for the customers, based on its vast experience of implementing large integrated security solutions for various critical installations.

 

Following are the threats to the business:

 

• Stiff competition from local un-organised sector in the physical security market is putting pressure on margins.

 

• Long decision making cycle time on the part of the customers.

 

• Technology partners may become competitors in the future.

 

• The investment in security and safety gets the least priority from the customers in India. However, this trend is seen to be changing quickly in the recent times.

 

Outlook :

 

The Indian Railways (all the 16 zonal railways) have been the pioneers in implementing integrated security and surveillance solutions for various stations in India to protect lives and assets. A capital expenditure budget of Rs. 7500.000 Millions has been approved by the Indian Railways for this purpose. SE business of the Company is well poised to address all these tenders of the Indian Railways. The Company expects limited competition due to stiff qualifying criteria. Besides the Railway tenders, following are the other segments which would bring impetus to SE growth:

 

• Integrated security solutions for establishments like ordnance depots, factories, etc.

 

• New airports and upgradation of existing ones.

 

• Coast Guard’s significant modernization program.

 

• Various security needs recommended by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to protect various critical installations.

 

• City monitoring and surveillance.

 

• Various scanning solutions for passenger scanning, vehicle scanning at various entry and exit points like airports, ports, octroi check posts, city entry points, bridges, etc.

 

• Integrated security solutions for industries, particularly petrochemical, power, steel and various core sectors, will

be driven by overall growth projected for these sectors.

 

Besides the above, budget allocations of Rs. 9000.000 Millions for modernization plan of the Indian Meteorology Department (IMD) including airport modernization will open up opportunities for the meteorology applications. All the above is expected to put Strategic Electronics on a growth path over the next few years.

 

 

 

 

 

Risks and Concerns:

 

SE primarily serves the requirements for capital goods and also security aspects of the business, which at times is assigned a lower priority by customers. It also requires long gestation period even to acquire order and then to     finally execute and hand over the project. Cash flow and profitability uncertainty are inbuilt in this type of business.

The projects from Government departments and other public sectors, who are the biggest customers, carry risk of

policy changes.

 

Tatanet Network Systems (Tatanet)

 

Tatanet is a leading VSAT service provider in the country. Over the years, it has developed expertise in sitcom services, implementation, operation and maintenance of IT and communication related projects on a turnkey basis and IT and communication infrastructure management services. In IT and communication infrastructure management services, Tatanet provides Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and End User Experience (EUE) management services, managed network services, managed data centre services, design and consultancy services and data security services.

It also provides management of network connectivity services and internet services over VSATs for corporates, across industry verticals such as Banking and Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), oil and gas, manufacturing and distribution, education, media, Government and defence. In VSAT services, the product and services offerings are bandwidth on committed information rate basis, bandwidthon-demand, interactive distance learning, IP multicast and digital streaming.

In project implementation on a turnkey basis, Tatanet provides implementation of satellite communication systems

and other communication network design and implementation services to customers in the Government, Public

Sector and large corporates.

 

Financial Highlights

 

During the period under review, Tatanet achieved revenue of Rs.799.263 Millions (12 Months) as against Rs. 1.623 Millions in the previous year (18 months) with an operating profit of Rs.132.897 Millions (12 Months) and Rs. 0.144 Millions in the previous year (18 months).

 

Industry structure and development

Key drivers of VSAT growth in India have been banking, financial services, insurance, Common Service Center programs (CSC), telecom, energy, education and health sectors.

Along with these, internet over VSAT, interactive distance education, telemedicine, digital signage / cinema, etc. are expected to drive VSAT growth in the next 2-3 years.

The extended C (Ex-C) band remains the preferred choice for critical interactive applications like stock broking and commodity trading, as this band is immune to rain conditions or rain fade. On the other hand, Ku band is the

preferred technology for ATM, e-Governance and other applications requiring lower initial investment in the cost of equipment at the customer end. Tatanet offers both these to the customers.

It is expected that extensive use of VSATs will continue in defence applications and the oil and gas segment due to connectivity requirements in remote locations, tough terrain and harsh conditions and also since VSAT provides near 100% implementation feasibility and very high uptime as compared to terrestrial networks, VSAT as means of connectivity is preferred where availability and uptime of the terrestrial network is doubtful. Therefore, VSAT is projected to co-exist with Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPN) over terrestrial.

Tatanet’s focus shall continue to be on increasing the recurring revenue through sale of VSAT services and through sale of Managed Services (MS). During the year, it has inaugurated its compact but state-of-the-art data center with tier three standards and a dedicated Video Network Operations Center (NOC) with an in-house studio. Tatanet has entered in to a strategic partnership with Compuware Corporation based in USA to deliver application performance monitoring and EUE management services in India.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

Though the managed services market is at least 10 times bigger than the VSAT business and has a promising growth

potential, being a new entrant in managed service business, Tatanet is gearing up to quickly establish itself in the

market. With some of the large system integrators and IT players already well entrenched in the market, Tatanet

faces a challenge to find its appropriate place and start increasing the revenue and profits. Tatanet intends to

differentiate in the market through its unique offering like APM and EUE services. This is not only expected to make

Tatanet the first choice of the customer amongst even some of the established players but also to create a new

market in the managed services space. Tatanet also aims to leverage its existing customer base and other Tata

companies for offering these services. Besides this, to meet with the stringent qualification criteria to participate in

IT and communication services tenders, it has already completed the ISO 20000 and 27001 certifications.

It will provide unified monitoring dashboards to its customers through ‘Nirikshan’ toolkit, comprising a mix of

in-house and industry-leading Network Management Software (NMS) and APM tools.

 

Following are the threats in the VSAT business:

• The increasing penetration of networking services based on competing technologies to be launched by terrestrial

telecom operators, need to be addressed by launching new innovative products and solutions from time to

time by Tatanet

• Pricing pressures in the market poses an additional challenge in maintaining revenue and profit growth. This is

being countered by Tatanet through increased focus on operational excellence and increasing the efficiency of

the network. Availability of bandwidth also may continue to pose a challenge. Measures have been taken to optimize the

existing bandwidth and advance planning for procurement of additional bandwidth, which should support

bandwidth requirement to address future customer needs at least for the next 3 years.

In the turnkey project implementation operations and maintenance business, efforts are being made to offer Tatanet’s

skill sets outside the country and create new markets for the division.

Segment wise performance

Tatanet division’s total reported VSAT installed base is 13,904. Tatanet has maintained its market share of 10.30%

(10.24% as of 2009) of the total VSAT installed base. Further, out of Tatanet’s total installed base, 10,880 VSATs are

operating on Ku- band, while the remaining 3,204 VSATs are on the Ex-C band.

Tatanet has made major inroads in managed services for distance education and video collaboration bagging major

order of Team Lease (IIJT). Other major orders bagged are Prizm Payments, Euronet and C-Edge in BFSI segment and

Beltron in Government segment. Tatanet is in the final stages of completing the implementation of one of the

largest satellite communication based networks for the Ministry of Defence.

In response to the increasing demand in the market for outsourced IT and communication infrastructure management

services, Tatanet has started rebranding and product development in the Managed Services (MS) portfolio, thus

aiming to become a holistic solutions provider and a one-stop-shop for the customer. The NOC for managed services

has been established and the managed services business is poised to see favorable growth.

 

 

 

 

Outlook

 

The total VSAT base in India is set to grow by 20% during 2010-11 to around 1,34,700 from 1,12,857, adding about 22,000 VSATs in 2010-11. Reflecting the macro economic environment, the current industry trends and outlook, Tatanet will continue to focus on growth opportunities in the manufacturing, BFSI, energy and telecom sectors, and enhance efforts towards building business in education and infrastructure along with e-governance segments, where the high volume CSC market is poised to remain strong.

The MS market is growing at a CAGR of 24%. With over a decade of experience in managing application performance over WAN, Tatanet is set to build and develop its MS business by working closely with alliance partners, leveraging channel strength for reach, increasing marketing efforts and widening the bouquet of offerings to suit the networking needs of large and medium enterprises.

 

Risks and Concerns:

 

With terrestrial Telecom players getting aggressive with its reach of copper / fiber optic cable connectivity in tier-2

and 3 cities, VSAT has transformed from being the only available means for connectivity, to its present complimentary role in supporting the more prevalent terrestrial solutions. Telecom players offer VSAT connectivity solutions to its customers based in unserved geographies when their conventional terrestrial or line of sight radio connections are not feasible. Risks related to falling prices of VSATs have been adequately factored in the strategic business plans.

There is dependence on a few enterprise customers for which various sales and marketing initiatives have been

taken to defend and grow contracted business.
