Review of Operations
During the year under review, your Company has achieved a gross
turnover of Rs. 7295.39 Lakhs as compared to Rs. 7035.09 Lakhs during
the previous financial year. Inspite of slight increase in the
turnover, the Net Profit has come down to Rs. 323.47 lakhs from Rs.
673.23 lakhs. This was mainly due to the reduction in selling prices
of the products, increased competition and higher interest costs.
To achieve forward integration and to reduce the dependency on outside
suppliers for End Fittings, which is crucial for manufacture of
Insulators, the Company has set up a foundry in its manufacturing unit
no. 2 at Plot No. 8, IDA, Gaddapotharam Village, Jinnaram Mandal, Medak
District. The Management is working to bring this foundry into
operation by April, 2012. When the foundry becomes fully operational,
the company would be having all the facilities (end to end) under one
roof and any excess production from this foundry could also be sold,
which will give a contribution to the bottom line.
Surge Arrestors
As informed to the Members in the previous annual report, the Company
sold a small quantity of this product during the year under review.
The Company is expecting to increase the volume of this product during
the years to come.
Solid Core Insulators
Substation Equipments like Solid Core and Hollow Core insulators are
presently being manufactured by the other players in the market with
Porcelain material which has certain disadvantages like causing heavy
losses to the transmission sector, low level of resistance to bad
weather conditions, frequent maintenance, etc.
With a view to expand the operations in this area and to offer high
quality product, the Management is proposing to manufacture Solid Core
Insulators. The company has already completed feasibility study and the
in-house R&D is working on this Project with an aim to commence the
commercial production of Solid core Insulators during the current
financial year. Keeping in view the existing market for this product
and the advantages that the product is having, the Management is
confident that once the commercial production commences, it will
further improve the financial performance of the Company in the years
to come. After successful commencement of commercial production of this
product, the Company is planning to go for the production of hollow
core insulators, which may take one more year.
High Voltage Insulators
Your Management is happy to inform that with the objective to
manufacture high voltage insulators (which are more profitable), the
Company had entered into a Technical Collaboration Agreement with a
reputed foreign company (Technology Provider). This collaboration
consists of transfer of technological details for the manufacture of
Silicon Rubber Polymer Insulators from and above 400KV to 1100 KV of AC
and DC of all combinations of mechanical-strengths as may be required
by your Company. The Technology Provider will offer activation or
installation support, including assisting with the implementation of
any Licensor software, diagrams or technological upgradation, wherever
applicable. Once the remaining formalities are over, your Management is
of the opinion that the Company would be in a position to commence
commercial production of high voltage insulators and thereby increase
the profitability of the company.
Dividend
Keeping in view the funds requirement for reduction of interest costs,
expansion and diversifications plans of the Company, your Directors
have recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.20 (i.e. 5%) per equity share of
Rs. 4/- each for the year ended 31st March 2011. The payment of
