NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

The company is engaged in the manufacturing, laying, selling of Power Cables and Capacitors.

 

 

GENERAL AND CORPORATE MATTERS

 

Despite subdued market scenario in the Power Sector, the Company has been able to achieve gross revenue of Rs.6866.100 Millions in the current fiscal as compared to Rs.6925.400 Millions for the previous year. However, the magnitude of loss suffered for the year is higher at Rs.400.600 Millions as compared to Rs.46.200 Millions for the previous fiscal.

 

During the year, the operations of the Company have been severely impacted due to increased finance cost arising from extended debtors cycle in the industry, the slow-down in the power transmission segment adversely affecting the EHV cable demand which is the Company’s key product coupled with predatory pricing strategy adopted by certain overseas players leading to severe pressure on margins. Many of the power infrastructural projects have been temporarily stalled due to the policy impasse on substantive issues of environmental clearances, Rights of-the-Way permissions, coal linkages/allocation and revision in power purchase agreement, etc. This has caused unanticipated deferment in their delivery schedule for the Company’s products leading to higher inventory of finished goods and payment hold up intensifying liquidity pressure on the Company. In addition to the above, apart from the other key imported raw-materials, the prices of bulk raw-materials such as Copper and Alumunium though indigenously sourced, are linked with the foreign exchange rates. The depreciation of the rupee has therefore severely affected the margins as the industry mainly operates on firm price contracts.

 

Under the present business environment, the Company has decided to re-structure its business strategy by broadening its market base. To de-risk itself from aberrations of a polarized Extra High Voltage (EHV) market segment, in which the Company is a formidable player and equipped with best-in-class VCV technology, it has expanded its capacity in the Medium Voltage (MV) and Light Duty cable verticals. The overall increase in the manufacturing capacity in the MV & Light Duty cable verticals would transform the Company into a competitive manufacturing base. The Company is focusing on products and customers from where better margins are available.

 

The Company has also ventured into execution of turnkey projects for capacitors banks where the margins are reasonably remunerative. Constant efforts are being made by the Company to enhance productivity with a view to gain competitive edge. In a parallel effort, the Company is continuously upgrading and modernizing the production facilities with a special focus on production cost reduction, optimization of raw material consumption and rationalization of manpower.

 

The Company’s strength lies in its technological primacy, advanced manufacturing facilities, high-end products, brand equity and skilled & talented manpower. Therefore, once the power & other infrastructural segment recovers from the present slump, the Company would emerge stronger.
