 These joint ventures have brought to life two special purpose companies
 with equity participation from Hitachi as explained below.
 
 Hitachi Power Europe GmbH, Germany – BGR Boilers Private Limited
 
 Your Company has signed a Joint Venture agreement with Hitachi Power
 Europe GmbH, Germany for the business of design, engineering and
 manufacture of Super Critical Steam Generator of 600 MW, 800 MW, 1000
 MW and 1100 MW rating and the new JV Company “BGR Boilers Private
 Limited” will establish manufacturing facilities as a Special Purpose
 Vehicle. Hitachi Power Europe will contribute 30% of the equity share
 capital of the new JV Company. During FY 2010-11, your Company invested
 Rs. 36.05 Crore in the share capital of JV Company and holds 70% of the
 equity capital.

 Japan for the business of design, engineering and manufacture of
 Supercritical Steam Turbine and Generators of 660 MW, 800 MW and 1000

 INDIAN POWER SECTOR SCENARIO
 
 The Indian economy has emerged rapidly from the global slowdown of
 2007-2009 and remains one of the fast growing economies of the world.
 The GDP growth is well over 8% and the growth momentum is maintained.
 The Government of India and State and Central utilities continue to
 accord primacy to capacity addition in power generation. In view of
 environmental consideration and need for higher efficiency, there has
 been marked preference for supercritical technology based power
 equipment viz., Boiler, Turbine and Generator of large unit sizes
 during the year under review. The capacity addition target for the 12th
 Five year plan is well over 100,000 MW. Of this, it is estimated that
 about 80,000 MW would be coal based thermal power plants utilizing
 supercritical technology. The Government policy on power sector
 investment encourages manufacturing capacity build-up within the
 country. During the year, the investment interest in power sector by
 private sector industries has witnessed a positive trend. A number of
 IPP projects currently planned on merchant power plant basis auger well
 for the power sector development in India. Your Company is now
 targeting projects for an aggregate capacity of 40,000 MW and
 anticipates to be successful to secure sizeable market share.
 
 During the year under review, there has been a slow down and delays in
 award of contracts for large power projects by State and Central
 utilities on account of variety of reasons including coal linkage,
 environmental clearance, land acquisition etc.
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK, THE YEAR AHEAD
 
 The growth trajectory of Indian economy makes it imperative for the
 public and private sector utilities to make investment in generation,
 transmission and distribution of power. The capacity addition programme
 of 12th Five Year Plan and investment plans by private parties in power
 sector offer robust growth opportunities for your Company. Your
 Company’s strategic initiative to set up manufacturing facilities to
 manufacture Super Critical Boiler, Turbine and Generator would provide
 competitive edge in terms of cost, price and delivery. EPC and BOP
 contracting business of the Company faces intense competition from
 domestic players.  Your Company’s position of pre-eminence in the
 industry, despite intense competition and cost pressures, is expected
 to reinforce your Company’s ability to overcome these challenges. With
 robust demand for power in the foreseeable future and the resulting
 opportunities for power generation equipment and EPC business, your
 Company’s power projects division is well positioned to sustain the
 growth momentum in the mid-term and in the long-term as well. The
 proven execution capabilities, competencies and the capacity to offer
 the entire range of services and equipment viz., design, engineering,
 project execution, construction, manufacturing and supply of Steam
 Generator, Steam Turbine and Generator, BOP equipment and civil works
 would continue to facilitate your Company to achieve improved order
 booking, revenue and Profitability.
