OPERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
In the year under review, your Company faced stiff challenges in
getting orders due to competition. Additionally, excess capacity
created in the last few years resulted in significant pricing
pressures. However, your Company was successful in getting noteworthy
orders from private power producers including an order for a 400kV
transformer, first in the history of your Company in addition to
receiving large orders for dry type transformers. As a result, the
current order backlog stands at Rs.132 crores.
Your Companys performance for the year was impacted significantly due
to low production levels primarily due to customers project delays and
site readiness. In addition, delays in funding of customer projects
resulted in postponement of deliveries. Your Company is gearing up for
growth and consequently is incurring higher fixed costs, resulting in
loss tor the year under review.
Your company has taken several steps to improve product quality and
reduce material content ensuring compliant designs resulting in better
performance of the transformer. Your Directors expect that the change
in the brand of the product to PROLEC-GE will enable better product
recognition and acceptance which will result in additional orders.
