Wind Energy Generation:

 

The company has been promoting Green Power through Wind Energy. They totally have commissioned capacity of 2.365 MW. The company has successfully registered the VER project with APX Registry. The company has also sold the first VERs to First Climate, Germany. Next issuance is being planned in the next financial year i.e. 2011-2012 to get some volume.

 

Monsoon was not good but due to north east monsoon and some extended monsoon would give some better generation. Wind Energy division had streamlined the process and had made efforts to put the machines running so that they have better Plant Load Factor (PLF).

 

They continue to face the problem of realization of funds from the government. All the power generated is being sold to the Government and hence they need to wait for the payment which is getting delayed. This is having serious repercussions on the payments to be made for various term loans.

 

The Revenue from Operations of the division increased to Rs. 12.176 Millions in comparison to Rs. 6.462 Millions in the previous year registering a robust increase of 88%.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

 

Industry Structure. Developments. Opportunities. Threats. Risks and Concerns and Future Outlook:

 

The Company is a diversified organization mainly into Transportation, Trading, Manufacturing, renting of immovable properties and generation of wind Energy.

 

Transportation and Logistics industry:

 

The Rs 4,000 billion Indian logistics industry, growing at an average growth rate of 20% annually, is driven by robust economic growth, rising export and import, government infrastructure investment and logistics outsourcing. Logistics cost accounts for nearly 13% of GDP, higher than that in the US (10%), Europe (11%) and Japan (10%). Besides, logistics (transportation, warehousing, inventory management and value-added services like packaging) represent one of the highest production costs - transportation 35%, inventories 25% - making it imperative for companies to work with specialised solution providers to enhance competitiveness.

 

Industry characteristics

 

The Indian logistics sector is fragmented. Two-thirds of the total trucks are owned and operated by transporters with fleets smaller than five trucks. The result is intense competition, low freight rates and thin profitability. The logistics cost in India is still high compared with developed markets owing to a non-conducive policy environment, extensive industry fragmentation and infrastructure inadequacy The sector employs (directly and indirectly) about 40 million people. The sector is seeing increased productivity through growing investments in GPS tracking, radio frequency identification, online analytics and new supply chain tools. The entry of global logistics players in India is helping local companies benchmark with global standards.

 

Road transportation:

 

Railways has remained a dominant mode of transport in India over the past few decades, but recently roadways have gained a significant share (more than 60% - inland transportation), while railways has lost its market share due to many reasons:

 

Industry overview

 

Over the last two decades, economic globalisation, trade liberalisation and competition have enhanced transportation needs to the point that now competent logistics management - activities relating to the procurement, transport, transhipment and storage of goods - is not just an economic support, but also recognised as an economy driver.

 

The Company has two different kind of contracts viz, "Logistic Contracts and own trucks contract. Under the logistic contract, the Company enters into contract with its client for providing logistic support to various destinations by hiring trucks from the market and ensures transportation of goods to the designated destinations of its client. Under the contract for deployment of own trucks, the Company deploys its own trucks/ vehicles with its client round the clock. The Company expects 15-20% growth in both contracts.

 

During the year, the Company continued to get / renewed transportation Contracts from valued customers to cater needs of its valued clients. The Revenue from Transport Operations decreased from Rs. 378.462 Millions in the previous year to Rs 358.774 Millions in the current year registering a slight decrease by 5.20 %. due to increased cost of oil and spare parts and other overheads. The Company has already restructured its transport activities for optimum utilization of its fleet of commercial vehicles and is hopeful to come out with robust results in the days to come.

The Automotive Industry in India is one of the fastest growing industries in India.

How ever due to sudden slow down of the world economy and increased cost of oil and oil products, The Automotive Industry has been worst hit. Most of Companies worldwide either cut down their production or restructured their production planning. India has also been hit economically with the slow down. Till such time, these signal becomes clearer, the Company will trade on cautious path in the days to come.

Wind Energy Generation

 

The Wind power programme in India was initiated towards the end of the Sixth Plan, in 1983-84. A market-oriented strategy was adopted from inception, which has led to the successful commercial development of the technology. The broad based National programme includes wind resource assessment activities; research and development support; implementation of demonstration projects to create awareness and opening up of new sites; involvement of utilities and industry; development of infrastructure capability and capacity for manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of wind electric generators; and policy support. The programme aims at catalyzing commercialisation of wind power generation in the country. The Wind Resources Assessment Programme is being implemented through the State Nodal Agencies, Field Research Unit of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM-FRU) and Center for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET).

 

Wind in India are influenced by the strong south-west summer monsoon, which starts in May-June, when cool, humid air moves towards the land and the weaker north-east winter monsoon, which starts in October, when cool, dry sir moves towards the ocean. During the period march to August, the winds are uniformly strong over the whole Indian Peninsula, except the eastern peninsular coast. Wind speeds during the period November to march are relatively weak, though higher winds are available during a part of the period on the Tamil Nadu coastline.

 

A notable feature of the Indian programme has been the interest among private investors/developers in setting up of commercial wind power projects. The gross potential is 48,561 MW (source C-wet) and a total of about 11,807.00 MW of commercial projects have been established until March 31, 2010.

 

The company has been promoting Green Power through Wind Energy. They totally have commissioned capacity of 2.365 MW. The company has successfully registered the VER project with APX Registry. The company has also sold the first VERs to First Climate, Germany. Next issuance is being planned in the next financial year i.e., 2011-2012 to get some volume.

 

Monsoon was not good but due to the north east monsoon and some extended monsoon would give some better generation. Wind Energy division had streamlined the process and had made efforts to put the machines running so that they have better Plant Load Factor (PLF).

 

They continue to face the problem of realization of funds from the government. All the power generated is being sold to the Government and hence they need to wait for the payment which is getting delayed. This is having serious repercussions on the payments to be made for various term loans.

 

The Revenue from Operations of the division increased to Rs. 12.176 Millions in comparison to Rs. 6.462 Millions in the previous year registering a robust increase of 88%.
