INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

PRESS RELEASE

 

May 20, 2013 Mumbai: The Board of Directors of Voltas Limited, a global air conditioning and engineering services provider of the Tata Group have today announced the Consolidated Audited Financial Results and Segment Report for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Quarter ended 31st March, 2013:

 

The consolidated Sales/Income from operations for the quarter ended 31st March, 2013 was Rs.15920.000 millions as compared to Rs.15730.000 millions in the corresponding quarter last year. Operating Profit for the quarter was Rs.780.000 millions as compared to Rs.1380.000 millions in the corresponding quarter last year. The Profit before tax (after exceptional items and additional charge of Rs 960.000 millions towards the onerous contract) was Rs. 140.000 millions for the current quarter as compared to Rs.1410.000 millions in the corresponding quarter last year. As a result, Net Profit after Minority interest for the current quarter was lower at Rs.90.000 millions as compared to Rs.1040.000 millions in the corresponding quarter last year.

 

Year Ended 31st March, 2013:

 

The consolidated Sales/Income from operations for the year 2012-13 was higher at Rs 55140.000 millions as compared to Rs 51750.000 millions in the previous year. However, due to difficult global economic conditions and uncertainties, coupled with high interest rates, inflation, increase in input costs, most of the businesses were adversely impacted and the Operating Profit was at Rs 2680.000 millions for the year under review as compared to Rs 3700.000 millions last year. After exceptional items including additional charge of Rs 960.000 millions on the onerous contract, Profit before tax was Rs 2800.000 millions and Net Profit (after Minority Interest) was Rs 2080.000 millions as compared to Rs 2190.000 millions and Rs 1620.000 millions, respectively in the previous year.

 

The Board has recommended dividend of Rs 1.60 per share of Re. 1/- each (160%) for the year ended 31st March, 2013.

 

Electro - Mechanical Projects and Services:

 

Segment's revenue was higher at Rs 32000.000 millions as compared to Rs 31830.000 millions last year. However, profitability of this segment, especially on account of overseas projects, was significantly impacted and lower at Rs 510.000 millions as compared to Rs 1720.000 millions last year.

 

As earlier reported, execution of Sidra Medical and Research Centre hospital project in Qatar (Onerous contract) has been facing several impediments and constraints arising from delay in designs, frequent changes in architectural/interior layouts, ceiling height restrictions and abortive engineering/ rework. The Company had, in line with the requirements of Accounting Standard (AS) 7, accounted for Rs 2770.000 millions in the previous year, based on a techno-commercial review by the Management taking cognizance of cost incurred and to be incurred, to complete this project based on information available at that time. However, considering the further elongated schedule of completion recently intimated by the Main Contractor, including certain subsequent developments, additional net cost overruns of Rs 960.000 millions have been accounted for on this Onerous contract in 2012-13. Nevertheless, the risk of uncertainties continues to exist on variations/ additional revenue claims and costs to come till the completion of the project due to the complex nature of the 'design and build' project.

 

Domestic Project Business:

 

The Domestic projects business also had its share of challenges primarily on account of external factors which has impacted both, turnover and profitability of this business. Despite the subdued investment climate, the domestic electro­mechanical projects business was able to secure orders at reasonable gross margins/ profit ability.

 

The Order Book of the Electro - Mechanical Projects and Services Segment stood at Rs.37190.000 millions as at 31st March, 2013 as compared to Rs. 42920.000 millions as at the end of the previous year.

 

Engineering Products and Services:

 

Both Textile Machinery and Mining & Construction businesses have performed well on the strength of fresh orders, new offerings and their customer-centric approach. The fate of this business is intertwined, and gets impacted, by changes in interest rates, availability of electricity and government policies. Revenues and Results of this segment were at Rs. 4310.000 millions and Rs. 840.000 millions respectively as compared to Rs. 4120.000 millions and Rs. 690.000 millions, respectively, last year.

 

Unitary Cooling Products for Comfort and Commercial use:

 

Despite intense competition / new players entering the market, unfavorable climatic conditions and subdued consumer sentiments, Voltas sustained its No. l market position in the Unitary Cooling Products business for most part of the year. Though the AC industry witnessed de-growth in sales volumes in 2012-13, the Segment's Revenue increased by 19% and was Rs.18360.000 millions for the year under review as compared to Rs.15390.000 millions last year. Profit was also higher at Rs.1730.000 millions as compared to Rs.1300.000 millions last year.

 

OPERATIONS

 

In terms of both domestic and global economic growth, momentum was slower than anticipated. The much awaited economic recovery was delayed, with an extensive bottoming-out phase. The Indian Rupee sank to new lows due to excessive volatility in exchange rates. Although there was some respite, interest rates and inflation continued to pose serious challenges for major parts of the year. Capital investments in Projects in India were at levels as low as at the year 2004, according to some reports. The pace of execution also posed enormous challenges, leading to cost overruns and margin dilution in projects. Dampened sentiment impacted consumer behavior, with the Room AC industry reporting ade-growth. Despite an overall depressed environment, the Consolidated Sales and Income from Operations for the financial year 2012-13 was higher by 7% at Rs. 55840.000 millions compared to Rs. 52190.000 millions in the previous year. Consolidated Profit after Tax and Minority Interest was also higher by 28% at Rs. 2080.000 millions, as against Rs. 1620.000 millions, last year.

 

The performance of electro-mechanical projects business, both in international and domestic geographies, was below par, also symptomatic of the endemic downtrend in the Projects industry. Execution of projects has been plagued by elongated schedules and delayed clearances. These problems were especially severe in the Company’s project for the Sidra Medical and Research Centre, under execution at Qatar. Revenue from variations is foreseen, and will be accounted in subsequent periods based on their realization. Nevertheless, the Company continues to deal objectively with the challenges faced, and frame a longer-term business strategy for future growth opportunities.

 

Similar adversity was faced by the Domestic Projects business, coupled with delayed payments, putting strain on working capital and cash flows. Several mitigation efforts are under way, including measures laid down in the previous year to reduce operational and administrative costs. The business has also adopted various IT initiatives and process changes to curb the dilution of margins that is now endemic across the Projects Industry landscape.

 

The Domestic Projects business continues its endeavour to extract synergies from the Water business and Rohini Industrial Electricals Limited (RIEL), under the integrated banner of the Domestic Projects Group (DPG). There have, however, been a number of challenges. The low-margin ‘legacy’ orders have again impacted RIEL’s performance. The Management has conservatively written down the value of investment in this business to the extent of Rs.170.000 millions. Nevertheless, the business continues to aggressively pursue profitable orders in its consolidated DPG identity.

 

The consolidated order book for the Projects Business stands at Rs. 37190.000 millions, yielding healthy visibility for the coming year.

 

The Engineering Products business too suffered its fair share of challenges. Most severe of all has been the ongoing ban on mining activities in several States in India, which deeply cut into the Mining and Construction Equipment business. Such problems have added impetus to the business’ efforts to seek greener pastures overseas. By leveraging its existing client relationships, the business has been successful in converting opportunities arising from overseas pursuits of existing customers. The ongoing Mozambique venture continues to be lucrative, providing a natural hedge against domestic setbacks. Strategically, the Company is investing substantially in expanding and reinforcing its credentials in product support, as well as its Operations and Maintenance capability.

 

The textile industry in India suffered the ill-effects of highly volatile cotton prices, combined with high inflation and interest rates, severe power shortages in South India and of course, the depressed global market. However, in the last few months of the year, the industry showed signs of revival, thanks to rising global and national demand for loom, coupled with the prospect of investment-friendly Governmental policy initiatives. Overall, the Textile Machinery business was well able to sustain its performance and even strengthen its presence in non-spinning segments.

 

In the Unitary Cooling business, the Company enjoyed the No.1 market position for most of the year, attributable largely to brand development and communications based on extensive market research. Along with substantial growth in both volume and market share of Room ACs, the business has benefited from better traction in Commercial Refrigeration products through sizable OEM orders. Growth in the Unitary Cooling business was achieved in the face of markedly more intense competition, as well as unfavorable climatic conditions and poor consumer sentiment. These factors did take a toll on the industry overall, which suffered aggregated sales volume de-growth of around 5%, according to GFK Report.

 

As part of its strategy to focus on core competencies, the Company has, during the year , hived off its subsidiary, Simto Investment Company Limited. In view of the transfer of the Materials Handling business to a JV with Kion in the previous year, the Company divested its investment in the JV to the Kion Group, thus exiting the business entirely.

 

TATA BUSINESS EXCELLENCE MODEL (TBEM)

 

In line with the decision taken at the Group level in respect of TBEM assessments, the Company is focusing on carrying out relevant integration activities and findings of past TBEM assessments are being reviewed. The intention is to participate in the TBEM External Assessments in a unified manner i.e. at Company level and not at individual Business Unit level, as hitherto in the past. In addition, the Company has undertaken several ‘Continual Improvement Projects’ with the objective of improving operational efficiencies in areas critical to the respective Business Units/Functions. The Company’s unified participation is proposed for the Group Level External Assessment to be held in the next financial year.

 

To support its Business Excellence journey, the Company continues to develop a pool of trained TBEM assessors, and also provides trained assessors for the Group-level TBEM Assessment Process. The Company currently has over 70 TBEM Champions, of whom more than 30 are certified in the most up-to-date TBEM Criteria. During the year, 13 assessors participated in the Group level TBEM assessments and their contribution won the formal recognition at the Group-level Business Excellence Convention held in December 2012.

 

IT INITIATIVES

 

The Management continued its drive to improve organizational efficiency and productivity by developing appropriate IT-based solutions. During the year, the focus was on automation of business processes, including Project Accounting, Payroll, HR and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

 

The Project Result Analysis process for Domestic Projects has yielded benefits in terms of better control over project costs, revenue and profitability. The integration of Payroll with the Human Capital Management (HCM) system for overseas employees helped in seamless payroll processing. CRM software was further refined for Unitary Products business, with expectations of quicker closure of dealer and franchisee payments and better customer service.

 

Due to increased emphasis on Compliance and Risk Mitigation, all SAP roles were redesigned and users were properly authorized through SAP’s Governance and Risk Compliance (GRC) Access Control tool. This has minimized the risks and conflicts within the SAP environment, with a suitable strategy for control and mitigation for each conflict identified.

 

In view of critical role of IT in all operations, many improvements were carried out to increase performance, reliability and security of underlying systems. These included: redesign and redeployment of the Disaster Recovery system for all crucial servers; clean-up of Master Data for Customers and Vendors; putting in place new policies and processes for network and end-user security and deployment of IDEA, a software tool to assist the Internal Audit Department for data analysis.

 

GLOBAL COMPACT AND CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT

 

The Company is a signatory to the UN Global Compact and continues its commitment to adhere to the principles of the Global Compact. The Communication on Progress (COP) for the financial year 2012-13 has been uploaded along with the Letter of Support, on the Global Compact website.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company continued to face difficult macroeconomic conditions both at home and abroad in the financial year 2012-13. The domestic situation remained discouraging, marked by liquidity crunch, high inflation and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, leading to low business confidence and deferral of capital investments. Accordingly, the pace of progress was slow, and consumer demand stayed muted. Despite signs of economic stabilization in the US and China, the Euro area continued to give cause for concern. Against this back drop, the Company’s performance was by and large in line with the expectations.

 

The Products business was more resilient in its quest to sustain performance and prepare for future growth opportunities. The Unitary Cooling business retained its leadership in market share through most of the year and increased its revenue by 16%, while sowing the seeds of future growth through its ‘All-weather’ brand positioning.

 

The Engineering Products segment also overcame various hurdles to sustain its performance, largely through timely introduction of new offerings and leveraging its customer-centric strengths. This business continues to expand its portfolio through new principals and products, as well as other strategic tie-ups to cater to the varied needs of more diverse customers.

 

The Domestic projects business, leveraging its diversified offerings and focusing on select opportunities in the Industry and Urban Infrastructure segments was able to grow their order book by 17.5% over last year. In addition, the Company also completed the execution of some large orders, such as the Chennai Airport and Kolkata International Airport, to the satisfaction of the Client.

 

However, the adverse environment did take a toll on the projects businesses, causing a drop in their performance, both in terms of profitability and order growth for overseas projects. Such setbacks were most strikingly evident in the International Business and notably in Qatar on the Sidra Medical and Research Centre project, given its design-and-build complexities and its completion schedule getting further extended.

 

While keeping up the efforts to improve the order inflow and develop new geographies, the Company adhered to its margin criteria. In order to contend with intensifying competition, the Management adopted a well thought out response strategy to leverage its track record, strengths and reputation built over the last four decades. New leadership is in place where required and business boundaries have been drawn in terms of both margin thresholds and geographies. With these measures, the Projects businesses are consolidating their interests and looking ahead at improving profitability.

 

Despite the disheartening economic climate, the Company kept alive its vision and direction towards ‘Engineering Solutions for a Greener Tomorrow’, which was framed on a foundation of Tata values. This was evidenced by the continued focus on developing ‘Star-rated’ energy-efficient room ACs, and the growing pursuit of projects designed for ‘Green Mark’ and ‘LEED’ certification. Water business is building up its strengths and resources as a potential provider of ‘green’ solutions in the water-conscious future.

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PROJECTS AND SERVICES

 

Domestic

 

The addressable market for domestic projects showed slow growth at 5%, testimony to the significantly more challenging environment facing the industry, marked by intensifying competition, low margins, rising input costs, uncertainty in cash flows and increasingly risk-averse clients who shied away from making new investments. Even finalized projects were prone to delays in awarding and execution.

 

In spite of the prevailing economic sluggishness, the Company’s domestic Projects business achieved order-book growth of around 17.5% by securing several large orders in IT/ITES industry and urban infrastructure and had a carry forward order book position of over Rs. 16000.000 millions at the year end. These included a fresh package for Tata Steel at Kalinganagar (value over Rs. 1820.000 millions) including a Raw Water Treatment plant of 96 MLD capacity (valued at Rs. 820.000 millions) and Chennai Metro Rail (Rs. 1250.000 millions), various projects for TCS valued at over Rs. 1000.000 millions and a modern automated solution for complete water management for Gujarat International Finance Tec-City.

 

The new orders came on the heels of successful completion of several projects during the year, including Chennai Airport (Rs. 1230.000 millions), Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Rs. 1470.000 millions), Tata Steel 3MT expansion project with overhead yard utility piping at Jamshedpur (Rs. 500.000 millions) and many projects in the IT/ ITES sector. Also noteworthy was the Company’s success in establishing its execution capabilities as a prominent player in water treatment, as it continues execution of water systems for Tata Steel Kalinganagar plant worth Rs. 1650.000 millions, SAIL Rourkela, an effluent treatment plant for Bokaro Steel and effluent treatment with zero liquid discharge for Matix Fertilisers.

 

In spite of successful job completions and new orders being received at reasonable margins, the unpredictable costs of inputs and other resources often lead to budget overruns, impacting profitability. Consequently, the Company took several steps to improve and protect the bottom line for future projects, by focusing on mid-sized and large MEP projects with definite timelines; unifying HVAC, Electrical and Water Management businesses; and improving penetration of Products.

 

On the Products front, the Company made several significant advances. These included:

  • Improved profitability and turnover compared to the previous year.
  • Improved penetration in the chiller package segment.
  • Introduction of ductable split units and scroll chiller package using micro-channel heat exchangers and R-410A refrigerant.
  • Development of energy-efficient water-cooled screw chillers with Variable Frequency Drive.
  • Development of solar-based Vapour Absorption Chillers.
  • AHRI, CE and EN 1886 certification to HVAC equipment.

 

Rohini Industrial Electricals Limited (RIEL) continues to experience challenges in improving profitability and has reported a loss in 2012-13. Given the external environment, the progress in execution of carried-forward orders was slow impacting its turnover and delaying the closure of unprofitable legacy orders. Nevertheless, with integration of RIEL with the larger Domestic Projects business of the Company, RIEL has built up a healthy order book position. RIEL has also reduced its overhead costs and is closely monitoring progress across various performance improvement measures.

 

INTERNATIONAL

 

The global economic recession continued its impact on the construction market in the Middle East. Business confidence remained depressed, with a lingering tendency to postpone investment decisions, with several targeted projects in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Abu Dhabi and Muscat, awaiting decisions.

 

Nevertheless, the Middle East construction market showed some signs of recovery in 2012-13 and in terms of construction contracts being awarded, the Construction markets in UAE, Qatar and KSA, have recorded improvements in value of awards as compared to the previous year.

 

Despite these positive trends, operating margins continued to dwindle across the industry, under pressure from intensifying competition for smaller slices of the pie. Further, construction and development firms faced constraints in the availability of credit. These proved to be barriers to entry into the emerging opportunities, leading them to turn to pursuing government projects instead, where capital requirements were more manageable. Compounding the difficulty were a host of other systemic challenges: intense and often illogical competition, rising input costs, increasingly risk-averse clients reluctant to make large-scale commitments, reluctance to grant mobilization advances, extended delays in project awarding and execution, and a tendency to dispute legitimate contractor claims and variations.

 

The Company’s international projects business therefore revisited its posture and instituted a new approach that stressed: immediate focus on execution of existing projects, to hasten their contractual and financial closure; not to bid for low margin jobs in congested segments; focus on the quality of the order book; claiming of entitlements; and partnering with competitors in strategic segments and projects.

 

In keeping with the new direction, the Company made significant progress towards completion of several projects in UAE and Qatar, such as the Rs. 8000.000 millions Central Market Redevelopment project in Abu Dhabi and a Rs. 3600.000 millions Utility Complex project in Riyadh. Following its pursuit of advantageous alliances, the Company formed a project specific JV at Qatar for execution of the prestigious North Gate Mall, valued at Rs. 3600.000 millions.

 

The Iconic Sidra Medical and Research Centre project in Qatar is well over 90% complete. There have been some delays in the project, in terms of achievement of the earlier targeted milestones, most of which would not be wholly attributable on part of the Company. Considering the revised elongated project schedule, the Management has reviewed the earlier estimates, verifying that Accounting Standards (AS-7) were met. In view of upward revision in the estimated costs, the Company has, during the year  made further provision in accordance with the requirements of AS-7. However, uncertainties exist due to the complex nature of the ‘design and build’ project, changes in design made by the client and delay in completion of the project. Further, the Company is closely monitoring the progress on this project. At the same time, the Company has lodged its claims for various contract entitlements, change requests including prolongation, disruption and acceleration claims which are /negotiations with the Client/Main Contractor. Revenue from the aforesaid claims/change requests, etc. would be recognized and accounted for once the amounts are certified and/or agreed upon by the Client/Main Contractor. In the interim, work proceeds with commitment, since by accomplishing a project of such iconic nature, the Company would strengthen its prospects when contracts are floated for the FIFA World Cup to be held in the year 2022. It would also add substantially to its credentials in the healthcare sector, a fast-growing opportunity area in the region.

 

For the third consecutive year, the Company won the coveted ‘MEP Middle East Contractor of the Year’ award, shared with consultant Atkins, for Abu Dhabi’s Yes Water World. It was a repeat of earlier victories, in the year 2011 for Dubai’s Etihad Towers, and 2010 for Abu Dhabi’s Ferrari World. The MEP awards, which are known as the industry’s most sought after tribute in the region, were in acknowledgement of the Company’s proven reliability, strengths and performance as seen in numerous iconic projects in the Middle East and elsewhere.

 

Taking a longer view, the Company’s Management adopted several institutional measures to leverage the strengths and reputation built over the last four decades in pursuit of growth. New leadership was put in place where required, operating structures and processes were reorganized, business boundaries were drawn in terms of both, margin thresholds and geographies and the practice of leveraging local JVs and partnerships was prioritized. With these measures, the International Projects business is consolidating its interests and looking ahead at improving its profitability.

 

The Company’s JV and subsidiaries made some notable strides. Universal Voltas LLC in Abu Dhabi delivered an operating profit of AED 24.559 million. The Olayan-Voltas JV effectively executed the Al Bustan project in KSA, delivering Saudi Riyals 11.667 million in profits in its second year. The JV will focus on entrenching its presence in KSA, so as to be poised to seize the significant business opportunities now emerging; Saudi Ensas delivered a turnaround profit of Saudi Riyals 0.317 million and looks forward to a strong order book and exciting opportunities on the horizon; Weather maker has a number of new product offerings under development to speed up its recovery in the Projects segment; Voltas Oman won a number of smaller orders, of up to OMR 3 million, whereby it has established its presence in the Omani MEP space. The Company is now recognized as a quality contractor and there is every expectation of securing further business with larger contract values.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLOOK

 

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PROJECTS AND SERVICES

 

Domestic

 

The investment downturn is likely to continue its adverse impact on the domestic electro-mechanical projects business, given that fewer investments were made in the financial year 2012-13 as compared to previous few years.

 

Nevertheless, the Company sees opportunities worth pursuing in certain areas. Principally, these are:

 

  • Metro-rail, airports and other infrastructure projects.
  • IT/ITES sectors, with the Company’s proven record of successes, as well as its base of satisfied clientele.

 

Water supply and sewerage are becoming increasingly crucial. Also, with the reuse and recycling of water in industrial and urban sectors being recommended in the National Water Policy of 2012, there is a growing focus on improving urban water supplies and sanitation, coupled with industry’s trend towards effluent recycling and reuse and zero liquid discharge. The Company’s Water Management Business is well placed to leverage its expertise in this domain, with attractive opportunities arising in water and sewerage projects with external funding (e.g. ADB, JICA or World Bank).

 

International

 

In the Middle East, government spending has shown a steady pattern of increase. Governments such as those of Oman, Qatar, KSA and the UAE, have outlined several small-to-large scale projects to realize their aspirations of building world-class social infrastructure in sectors such as education, health care, municipal services, power and utilities. Additionally, the upcoming FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar is likely to call for significant investment in sports infrastructure.

 

A key driver of such investment is the expected continuation of significant oil-based budget surpluses in many countries. These plans represent significant opportunities that the Company and its JVs/subsidiaries, are strategically and operationally gearing up to seize.

 

ENGINEERING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

Several upcoming governmental policy initiatives announced by Gujarat, Maharashtra and MP, and the reinstatement of the Textile Up gradation Fund, are positive prospects for increased investment in textile plant and machinery. The demand for yarn is on a growth trajectory in both export and domestic markets, which is expected to extend through the financial year 2013-14, stimulating capacity expansion of spinning mills and holding promise of good business for the Company’s textile machinery business.

 

The spinning industry is likely to benefit from the increasing per capita consumption of cloth and the permitting of FDI in the retail sector. Substantial growth can be anticipated, subject to the judicial settlement of certain environmental controls.

 

The Company’s entry into Mineral Beneficiation represents a good growth opportunity, given the growing demand for improving mineral grades and for recycling or conserving water. Further, the easing of the bans imposed on iron ore mining activity also augur well for the business.

 

The Company has tied up with Belaz, from Belarus, for dump trucks, with the prospect of good orders from Coal India Limited.

 

UNITARY COOLING PRODUCTS FOR COMFORT AND COMMERCIAL USE

 

Low market penetration (at 3.8%) has historically been the biggest opportunity area for India’s AC industry. Additionally, improving consumer sentiment will whip up some demand in the ‘second ownership’ and ‘replacement’ segments, encouraging a shift to Split ACs.

 

With growing consumer consciousness of energy efficiency, spurred by rising energy costs, 3 and 5 Star ACs are expected to contribute more than 75% of the total market. With its initial lead in Star-rated ACs, and constant R and D-based up gradation, the Company is at an advantageous position in this category.

 

New demand is arising in tier-2 and tier-3 towns, representing a substantial and growing opportunity. The Company accordingly intends to pursue channel expansion to a much larger number of touch points.

 

In Commercial Refrigeration, there is a growing need for quality products in retail, dairy, brewer and cold chain user segments. With its superior product development capabilities, strong brand and good relationships with leading manufacturers, the Company is well placed to enhance its leadership position.

 

ENGINEERING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

The businesses in this segment are vulnerable to investment slowdown, non-availability of electricity and government policy related changes. Further, the long term side effects of the mining ban along with continuing delays in environmental clearances pose serious threats to the mining and construction equipment business.
