INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

The year 2011-12 has been a very significant year for the company. Hitachi Limited, Japan, a globally renowned 110 Billion US $ conglomerate invested to secure a majority position in your company through its Indian subsidiary Hitachi India Private Limited. This indeed is a tribute to the years of hard work and dedication of company employees. They have been truly recognized.

 

This change will transform the entire face and the future of the company. Many new product lines, Brand Equity support of Hitachi, depth of resources etc. will take the company to new heights.

 

Considering the fact that revenues from new HITACHI products have yet to start flowing, the company’s performance in 2011-12 over 2010-11 is truly remarkable. Net sales Billed, Earnings etc. have grown by more than 40% over 2010-11. The order book looks quite promising.

 

However, the state of Indian Economy is a major cause of worry. Slowdown in reforms, high interest and inflation rates etc. are hurting the capital investment sentiments very hard. Domestic as well as foreign investors are very nervous about making new investments.

 

Hopefully, the backlog of order and introduction of HITACHI Brand in Company’s operations will help the Company grow in 2012-13.

HITACHI HI-REL POWER ELECTRONICS' NEW MANUFACTURING FACILITY STARTS OPERATIONS

 

Tokyo, Japan and Ahmedabad, India, December 12, 2012 – Hitachi, Limited (President: Hiroaki Nakanishi, TSE: 6501, “Hitachi”) today announced that Hitachi Hi-Rel Power Electronics Private Limited (Managing Director: Piyush Shah, “Hitachi Hi-Rel”), a group company in the Republic of India (“India”), has established and started operations at a new manufacturing facility in the Sanand-II Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) Estate. With this new factory now operating alongside its existing Gandhinagar factory, Hitachi Hi-Rel intends to enhance the lineup of industrial power electronics for use in plants in fields such as power generation, steelmaking, and chemicals. The goal is to expand Hitachi Hi-Rel's revenue of the growing Indian infrastructure market.

 

India is currently seeing the construction of many large-scale plants such as power plants, steel works and petrochemical plants, spurred by its rapidly growing economy and plans for large-scale investments in renewable energy to realize a low-carbon society. These developments are expected to lead to expansion in demand for industrial power electronics such as medium and low voltage inverter drive systems, uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) and power conditioners for power generation. These products are required to ensure stable operations of large-scale factories, and to conserve energy.

 

In October 2011, Hitachi invested in Hi-Rel whereby Hi-Rel Electronics Private Limited became a subsidiary and changed its name to Hitachi Hi-Rel Power Electronics Private Limited Since the 1980s, Hi-Rel Electronics had expanded mission-critical businesses in India, including backup power and power stabilizer solutions in a broad range of fields, such as oil refining, petrochemicals, power generation, steelmaking and metals.
Hitachi Hi-Rel's Gandhinagar factory manufacturers power electronics such as Industrial UPS, battery chargers and inverters for railway applications. Furthermore, since October, 2012, the factory has added grid-connected solar power inverters to the production lineup to address demand in the renewable energy field.

 

Having started operations, the Sanand factory will produce industrial power electronics products such as medium-voltage and low voltage inverter drives steel automation drives and industrial automation products to increase its lineup of offerings. This will enable Hitachi Hi-Rel to manufacture cost competitive products with “best-in-class” quality with Hitachi manufacturing know-how. By increasing production capacity through the start of operations at the new factory, Hitachi Hi-Rel seeks to increase its revenue of the Indian market. At the same time, Hitachi Hi-Rel will strive to expand business with a view to exporting products to regions that hold potential markets for social infrastructure systems; namely, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa among others. Through these and other measures, Hitachi Hi-Rel aims to generate revenues of 8 billion Indian Rupees (about 12 billion yen*) in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.

 

* At the exchange rate of 1.5 yen per Indian Rupee.

 

Hitachi is focusing on accelerating the global development of the Social Innovation Business, which is made up of social infrastructure supported by highly reliable and highly efficient information and telecommunications technology.

 

Hitachi has identified India as a fifth key overseas management area, and will strive to further expand business centred on the Social Innovation Business in the country.
