During the year Company disposed its surplus land at Thane, Mumbai which helped improve the net profit to Rs. 1610.000 Million, a growth of 141.1% over FY14. On a standalone basis, the net revenue from operations increased to Rs. 65920.000 Million and the net profit increased to Rs. 1110.000 Million.

 

The Company secured orders of Rs. 82230.000 Million in FY15. The closing order book position on March 31, 2015 is at Rs. 95080.000 Million. The Company is also expecting to receive significant orders in the near future as it has a good L1 pipeline.

 

The transmission business continues to perform well both in terms of revenue and profitability. However, the overall profitability of the Company was affected due to time and cost overruns associated with project closures in Railways, Water and Distribution businesses. The profitability was also negatively impacted due to adverse movement in currencies. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SAE Towers, also reported negative profitability this year as a result of lower order intake in Mexico and lack of clearances in Brazil leading to higher inventories and lower production. This resulted in under absorption of fixed costs. The Cables business, however, has shown signs of turning around with topline growth of 43.7% over FY14. This was achieved due to higher capacity utilisation as a result of increase in demand. The Cables business has received type test approval for its 220 kV Cables from KEMA, Netherlands which has enabled the Company to commence sale of this product.

 

Evaluation of performance

 

Making recommendations to the Board on appropriate performance criteria for the Directors. Formulate criteria and framework for evaluation of every Director’s performance. Identifying familiarization and training programs for the Board to ensure that Non-Executive Directors are provided adequate information regarding the operations of the business, the industry and their duties and legal responsibilities.

 

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The key highlights for the Company’s various businesses are as follows:

 

Power Transmission and Distribution

 

– This is the Company’s largest business vertical which provides end-to-end solutions for power evacuation from generating stations to consumer distribution points.

 

The Company secured orders worth Rs. 68120.000 Million during the year across India, MENA, Africa, SAARC and the Americas. The orders include the single largest order in transmission business from Saudi Electricity Company, Saudi Arabia and the largest ever order in domestic business from Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited, Karnataka.

 

The Company has implemented a business transformation exercise to keep pace with the global growth in the business and the changing client requirements. As a result of this, the Company has:

 

o Defined and documented its proprietary ‘KEC way’ of project execution (more than 90% of the processes are internal best practices selected for horizontal deployment)

 

o Achieved associated savings in project cost due to wastage reduction;

 

o Developed a mindset to complete projects on time with focus on working capital.

 

The impact of above will be felt in the coming years. The Company is also focusing on significant cost savings in supply chain – procurement and logistics, especially in the transmission business.

 

The successful implementation of the transformation exercise has led to a reduction in the execution cycle for Transmission and Distribution projects and the Company has also successfully completed a few projects ahead of the contracted schedule. The performance was acknowledged with two prestigious awards from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) namely; Best Transmission Line Contractors (large players) and Special Prize for helping PGCIL in restoring Power to New Delhi during last year black out.

 

During the year the Company has completed the prestigious Haldia River Crossing project in West Bengal. The project included construction of two of the tallest (775 feet) and heaviest towers (each weighing more than 1790 MT) on the Hoogly River. This project reaffirms the Company’s capability to execute challenging projects in difficult terrains and adverse weather conditions.

 

The Company also expanded its domestic presence in Substation business by securing large and prestigious orders for the establishment of various Gas Insulated Substations (GIS). A 765 kV GIS in Thiruvalam, Tamil Nadu constructed by KEC has been commissioned by PGCIL during the year, this is the second GIS Sub Station in India

 

The Company has also expanded its strong global EPC expertise in the Americas through its wholly owned subsidiary SAE Towers by securing five transmission EPC projects in Brazil.

 

Cables – The cables business has seen excellent order inflows during the year. It secured orders of Rs. 11560.000 Million in FY15, a growth of 35.2 percent over the previous year. In EHV segment, KEC manufactures cables up to 220 kV although the production line is capable of manufacturing cables up to 400 kV. Recently, they manufactured a 220 kV, 2000 mm2 cable which is largest ever in India. With the 220 kV KEMA type test certificate they are well positioned to cater to the increasing demand not only domestic but also the international markets.

 

Railways – The Company has secured two orders of Rs. 2460.000 Million for Over Head Electrification (OHE) from the Central Organization of Railway Electrification, India. The Company is also targeting projects related to Metro and Dedicated Freight Corridors in partnerships with other qualified players.

 

Water – This year the Company’s focus has been on technology projects like waste water treatment (WWT), presently four waste water treatment projects are under execution. The Company is expecting to complete the balance water resource management (WRM) projects during the current financial year.

 

 

Sale of Surplus Assets During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company has consummated the transaction for sale of its surplus land at Thane near Mumbai for a total consideration of Rs. 2123.500 Million. Further the Company has entered into agreement for sale of its telecom assets in the states of Chhattisgarh, Meghalaya and Mizoram. The consideration is envisaged at around Rs. 810.00 Million subject to fulfilment of certain conditions by the Company. The transaction is expected to be concluded in next few months after receipt of the required approvals.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Economy and Power Sector Review

 

  1. Global Economic Scenario

 

Global growth has been less than moderate. Many advance economies are battling legacies of global financial crisis and high unemployment barring a few like the US and the UK who are of late witnessing improved growth. On the other hand, emerging economies are faced with daunting challenges like increased market risks and enhanced geopolitical risks. Their growth, which was mainly fuelled by strong external demand from advanced economies is an area of concern in the current scenario. However, this is expected to be offset by the decline in oil prices which is benefiting the emerging economies. Furthermore, there is an need for structural reforms in many economies, advanced and emerging market alike in areas including investment in public infrastructure etc. to boost investment prospects.

 

Global growth in 2015 and 2016 is projected at 3.5 and 3.8 percent respectively. In emerging markets and developing economies, growth is projected at 4.3 percent in 2015 and expected to increase to 4.7 percent in 2016 (World Economic Outlook, IMF, April, 2015 and January, 2015 updates). Although, the decline in oil prices is expected to give an impetus to global growth, uncertainty pertaining to the price path is a risk reflecting an altogether new dimension to global growth prospects.

 

  1. Indian Economic Scenario

 

India’s outlook for growth is gradually improving; there is renewal of confidence due to pick-up in industrial and investment activity. Reforms in the area of policy are also regaining momentum. Government’s initiative of ‘Make in India’ and enhanced focus on manufacturing are further expected to boost India’s growth prospects.

 

Indian economy is expected to grow at a high rate of around 8.1 to 8.5 percent in FY16, it grew at 7.4 percent in FY15 (E) and 6.9 percent in FY14 (Source: Economic Survey Highlights). This reiterates the fact that the economy is progressing and is moving beyond economic slowdown, persistent inflation, elevated fiscal deficit, slack in domestic demand, external account imbalances and fluctuating value of the Rupee.

 

  1. Power Sector Review

 

Globally, emphasis on grid integration, migration to higher voltages, enhanced focus on clean and green energy etc. signify that power sector is transforming and evolving towards better quality outlook the world over. transmission and distribution networks are also expanding and quality of power is definitely gaining momentum. However, power is a scarce commodity and a large part of the globe still faces shortage of power. With rapid urbanization and industrialisation, the demand for power is growing day by day necessitating substantial investments in Power Generation and Transmission and Distribution infrastructure. Total investment needed for T&D during 2014-2035 is estimated at USD 6.8 trillion; USD 1.8 trillion for Power Transmission and USD 5.0 trillion for Power Distribution. (Source: International Energy Agency (IEA) - World Energy Outlook 2014)

 

Industry Outlook and Opportunities across Businesses and Related Geographies

 

This section highlights the industry outlook and opportunities in each of the Company’s Business – Power Transmission and Distribution, Cables, Railways, Water and Renewable (Solar).

 

Power Transmission and Distribution Business - Outlook and Opportunities

 

This is the largest business vertical of the Company. With around 7 decades of experience, KEC has global leadership position in the power transmission EPC space and is rapidly growing in power distribution space mainly in the domestic market. Globally, T&D investment is expected to be around USD 6.8 trillion between 2014 and 2035 largely led by Asia, America, Europe and Africa (Source: IEA). The Company’s T&D business is spread across various regions. Region-wise outlook and opportunities in this business are as follows:

 

I) South Asia (India)

 

With around 2,72,503 MW of installed generation capacity, 3,16,281 ckm of installed transmission capacity and 6,08,245 MVA of substation transformation capacity, the Indian power sector has achieved remarkable growth over the years.

 

However, India still faces perennial shortage of power and around 25 percent of India’s population is still without access to electricity. India’s burgeoning population, rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, emphasis on 24X7 power across the country by 2019, focus on infrastructure development combined with proposed establishment of smart cities imply high growth in electricity demand which necessitates continuous and efficient supply of electricity.

 

Elaborating more on capacity additions, the 12th and 13th plan envisage around 88,537 MW and 93,400 MW of generation capacity addition; 1,09,440 ckm and 1,30,000 ckm of transmission capacity addition and 2,70,000 MVA and 3,00,000 MVA of substation capacity addition respectively. This requires an investment of Rs. 1800000.000 Million and Rs. 3062350.000 Million during the 12th plan for transmission and distribution capacity addition respectively. The T&D sector in particular suffers from substantial underinvestment as compared to the generation sector. Evacuation of power is a major concern in India which has to be addressed at the earliest. Ensuring energy security is vital for India’s growth and development. Adequate funds have to be infused to strengthen the T&D network in India.

 

The growth in intra-state power transmission networks, which falls under the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) and their transmission utilities (STUs) has not been able to match the interstate capacity addition due to financial constraints. However, the Government of India (GoI) cleared the restructuring programme for SEBs. Some of the SEBs are in the process of restructuring their debt, a move which is likely to expedite progress of this sector and provide opportunities for power and its ancillary industries.

 

Further, the industry continues to be grappled with numerous issues like fuel linkages for generation capacity additions, land acquisition, Right of Way, statutory clearances, poor financial health of SEBs and funding constraints which hamper the progress. Concurrently, the competitive intensity is increasing on both market side as well as supply side (fuel, logistics, finances\ and manpower).’

 

Conscious about the challenges as well as about the fact that power sector development is necessary for sustained economic development, the Indian Government has embarked on numerous initiatives and mechanisms to expedite the progress of this sector. The Government is also encouraging Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in the T&D sector. They are incrementally seeing projects being awarded through competitive bidding processes on BOO/BOOT/ BOOM model.

 

II) South Asia Region (SAARC excluding India)

 

The Company’s presence in South Asia region is increasing. The region faces energy scarcity and hence prospective investment opportunities are expected to benefit the Company. The Company has strong local presence and execution experience in the region and is currently executing projects in Bhutan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. During the year, it has secured good orders from Bangladesh. Further, India’s cross border electricity transmission interconnections with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan are also being expanded to facilitate power trade between the countries.

 

III) The MENA Region

 

Power demand in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is set to grow, mainly on account of strong economic and demographic growth associated with rapid urbanisation and strong industrial growth in the region. The region is also diversifying fuel sources and investing in renewables/nuclear sources.

 

IV) Rest of Africa Region excluding North Africa Region

 

Due to the energy deficiency experienced by this region, it has significant growth potential. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the average electricity consumption per capita is 535 kWh. Further, around 68 percent of its population is still without access to electricity (Source: IEA). The continent has under-exploited energy resources and under-served demand as compared to the rest of the world.

 

Numerous multilateral funding agencies are dispensing funds for new projects in this region. Further, various cross-border transmission line interconnections are also expected which will improve power transmission infrastructure thereby leading to efficient energy exchange among the countries.

 

V) Central Asia Region

 

On account of its growing industrialisation, Central Asia continues to be a high growth market with increasing demand for electricity. Many countries in this region are facing electricity supply issues due to financial constraints. However, multilateral institutions have come to their rescue and are supporting and funding several initiatives to expand and upgrade the region’s Soviet-era power infrastructure.

 

VI) North America and Latin America Region

 

North America: The North America transmission system needs investment to build new lines as well as upgrade and refurbish the existing network as existing transmission grid is ageing due to under-investment in transmission infrastructure as well as complying with potential upgrades to regulations, with a ruling expected by mid-2015.

 

As coal-fired power plants go offline under U.S. EPA’s Clean Power Plan, building new power lines to evacuate renewable energy is expected to drive investment over next five years.

 

Around 2,60,000 kms of additional transmission lines are planned to be added between 2014 to 2035 (Source: IEA). Over this period, the expected investment in transmission line infrastructure is estimated to the tune of USD 324 billion.

 

Besides, with the new federally proposed Clean Power Plan in the US, many states have issued the Renewable Portfolio Standards regulation. This directive mandates electricity suppliers to produce a specified portion of their electricity from renewable energy sources.

 

In Canada, new generation sources in Alberta and new hydroelectric generation expansion continue to contribute for an increase in demand of transmission lines.

 

Latin America: Between 2014 to 2035 an estimated investment of USD 128 billion is planned to be made on transmission line in this region. Brazil, the largest market in Latin America, covers nearly half of the continent of South America. Brazil’s Government plans to build about 2,28,000 kms of transmission lines between 2014 and 2035 (Source: IEA). In Mexico, the state-owned Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) owns and operates transmission lines. Significant transmission line infrastructure is expected to be built in Mexico over the years to come.

 

VII) Southeast Asian Region

 

The region’s energy demand has expanded approximately 2.5 times since 1990. Major demand drivers include growth of Industry, Buildings and Transport sectors. However, the region’s per capita energy use is still low and 1/4th of its population is without access to electricity. The region is projected to require an additional 2,40,000 kms of transmission lines and 37,35,000 kms of distribution lines to connect end-users between 2014 and 2035. Its investment needs are expected to be around USD 544 billion for T&D infrastructure (Source: IEA). Many countries in this region have formulated plans to increase their power generation capacity and grid expansion.

 

Cables Business – Outlook

 

The Company manufactures power cables and telecom cables, with the former constituting a significant part of its cables business. A significant portion of their cables are also exported to numerous developed and developing countries.

 

Power Cables

 

Domestic demand for these cables is inextricably linked to the infrastructure growth. Government’s thrust on strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution systems and increasing share of Renewables is expected to result in increase in demand for Power Cables. The demand is also expected to get a boost on account of the proposed smart cities and mass transportation projects where higher proportion of EHV and HT cables are majorly used.

 

Telecom Cables

 

The Optic Fibre Cables requirement is expected to grow on the back of 3G, 4G network installations along with Government of India driven National Optic Fibre Network (NOFN) programme.
