LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Subject, previously known as Easun Reyrolle Relays and Devices was incorporated in 1974 at Hosur and commenced production in 1980. The company was promoted by the late K Easwaran, Hari Easwaran and associates with equity participation from Reyrolle Parsons (a division of Reyrolle), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rolls Royce Engineering, UK. The company is headed by chairman Hari Easwaran. The promoters have interests in Easun Engineering, Easun Products of India, Easun Investments, etc. It is having factories in Hosur (Tamil Nadu) and in Bangalore. In October'95, the company came out with a Rs.71 millions rights issue (premium: Rs.100) to finance the modernisation and expansion of production capacity, for an R and D unit, for the manufacture of microprocessor-based relays and for long-term working capital. The company's product range includes relays and control panels. It is setting up a unit to manufacture microprocessor-based relays. The major customers of the company include BHEL, ABB, Siemens, S and S Power Switchgear, etc. The company has technical collaboration with Rolls Royce, UK (since May '75), to manufacture relays, relay test sets and relay tool kits. It entered into a licensing arrangement with Rolls Royce in Feb.'95 to exclusively manufacture microprocessor-based relays. Products manufactured by the company are being bought back by Reyrolle, UK. The company commissioned 2 225-MW wind energy turbines in Sep.'94, in Tamilnadu. It has taken steps to modernise the existing plant and machinery to improve productivity. It also proposes to strengthen the R and D wing and widen its product range. After its incorporation, the company had to delay commencement of operations due to delay in obtaining industrial licence.

Management Discussions and Analysis

 

Industry Environment and outlook for the future:

During the year 2010 - 11 electrical equipment industry has experienced sustained growth momentum with a growth rate of approximately 14%. The overall outlook for the industry future continues to be healthy.

 

While the general picture is thus fairly rosy, there are a number of factors that continue to cause concern; addressed in a focused manner, can brighten the picture even further. The large gap between the budgeted capacity addition during the fifth plan and the reality till date indicates that the shortfall in the planned capacity addition will be substantial. Same is the case with respect to investments in transmission and distribution sector through RAPDRP Schemes as well as other initiatives. 2011-12 being the last year of the fifth-five-year-plan is expected to see the usual last minute efforts to reduce this gap resulting in increased opportunities. However, what is required is sustained level of high investment in these areas if India were to address its power needs efficiently and eliminate the scourge of power shortages in the near future.

 

International markets for power system equipment which the Company is addressing also show sustained growth, with the utilities in USA increasing their spend under various government initiatives and various countries in Europe particularly Eastern Europe and Russia drawing up plans for substantial increase in their investments in modernization of power sector. Green initiatives across the Western Europe are also a cause for optimism. African market, in the long term has a huge potential for growth.

 

Thus the overall outlook for various products, systems, solutions and projects in which the company is engaged in remains healthy. However, substantial capacity additions and fairly large gap between the plans and achievements with respect to capacity additions and other investments in this sector, particularly in India, would also mean continued pressure on margins.

 

Overall Company strategy:

Since its inception as a joint venture, the company had an arrangement of receiving its technology from its JV partner and addressing primarily the Indian market. Since 2003 the company started branching out into lines of business other than those of its JV and developing its own technology for these business lines.

 

Exit of its the then JV partner from the company in 2006 gave the company the freedom and an opportunity to grow in the global markets and at the same time the challenge of self reliance in the field of technology was posed. The company accepted this challenge of ensuring that all its product lines offer the state-of-the-art-technology acceptable across the global markets and consequently the opportunity of being able to address the global markets for its rapid and sustained growth.

 

Towards this the company has invested significantly in acquiring and strengthening high technology companies in Canada and in Germany and in establishing significant R and D facilities in India. This strategy has now enabled the company to be able to offer, starting from the year 2011-12, an array of new products and technologies in the global markets, which will propel the growth of the company in the future.

 

In parallel, the company has put in place a strategy of backward integration to capture the value chain in the manufacturing activity through significant investments in world class manufacturing facilities – mainly in India for basic manufacturing and in other countries in local manufacturing as appropriate. This will not only allow them to offer competitive products across the global markets but will also help in improving margins.

 

The twin strategies of ownership of state-of-the-art-technology and the related IPs in all its core activities and capturing significant parts of the value chain will be the foundation of the company’s march towards sustained and rapid growth in the future.

 

Operations:

During the year 2010-11, the Indian operations of the Company have grown satisfactorily both in terms of sales as well as profits. Sales have shown a growth of 24% which is ahead of the market growth and the profits from ordinary operations (without considering the exceptional items) at EBIDTA level have grown by 50% over the year 2009 -10. The growth of order book is also generally satisfactory though the Company has consciously stayed away from low profitability opportunities particularly in the area of Turnkey projects. Considering the healthy order book and the expected growth of the industry in the coming year, the company expects to grow significantly during the year 2011-12.

 

The Company’s international operations continue to gain strengths as the Company is gradually moving from investment phase into market realization phase. Thus the Company’s Canadian operations at ERL Phase have shown a 20% increase in order input, its international sales and marketing operations at ERLMINT has doubled its Order intake and Switchcraft Europe GmbH in Germany has seen the first orders from the European markets. As these subsidiaries in Canada and Germany complete their new product introduction, which have been somewhat delayed, during 2011-12 the international operations are expected to show considerable growth during 2011-12 and sustained growth at higher levels thereafter.

 

In order to counter the pressures on the margins and to be able to cater to the expected growth in global demand through its various international operations, the Company has initiated major investments in manufacturing and backward integration with a new manufacturing base at Harohalli, near Bangalore. The first phase of the investment is likely to be completed and the commercial production of the same will be commenced during the second half of the current financial year. This coupled with growth of the business and various other actions being taken by the Company to reduce costs, would address the issues concerning the pressure on the margins and the results from the same can be expected from the year 2012-13 onwards.
