Dear Shareholders,
 
 India has weathered the global crisis relatively well, and even as high
 inflation remains a major concern, India''s economy is expected to grow
 at 8% this year in comparison to 8.5% during 2010-11.
 
 On the global front, the sovereign debt problems that have beset the
 euro area over the past year now threaten larger economies in the
 region. In the US, concerns over a sovereign default loom over
 financial markets, with potentially disruptive consequences for global
 capital flows. Japan is dealing with the challenges of recovering from
 the impact of the tsunami amidst deeper recessionary tendencies. In
 striking contrast to advanced economies, emerging market economies
 (EMEs) have generally been dealing with rising inflation, caused by a
 combination of elevated commodity prices and robust domestic demand.
 The IMF, in its June, 2011 Update of World Economic Outlook (WEO),
 revised downwards its estimates for global growth in 2011 to 4.3 per
 cent from its April 2011 estimate of 4.4 per cent. More importantly,
 according to the IMF, downside risks to global growth have increased on
 account of continuing sluggishness in major advanced economies due to
 the weak labour and housing markets, and lingering sovereign debt
 concerns.  Globally, while growth is set to decelerate, inflation is
 expected to edge up in 2011 reflecting higher commodity prices and
 strong demand in EMEs. Although prices of cotton, rubber and metals
 have softened in the recent period, crude oil prices continue to be
 volatile and the outlook on this front remains uncertain. The IMF''s
 projection is that consumer price inflation is likely to increase from
 1.6 per cent in 2010 to 2.6 per cent in 2011 in advanced economies, and
 from 6.1 per cent to 6.9 per cent in emerging and developing economies.
 
 Business Overview 2010-11
 
 Year 2010-11 was satisfactory for your company, where Company achieved
 top line growth of 29% compared with previous year. However,
 profitability continued to be under tremendous pressure due to
 oversupply in the industry, leading to cut-throat competition, lower
 capacity utilizations and immense pressure on pricing and margins.
 
 On the industry front, during the second half of the financial year
 2010-11, there was improvement in the demand scenario of the Industry
 which has resulted in the significant growth of turnover compared to
 previous year. In the medium and low voltage power cable field, the
 growth is fuelled by the boom in the power, industrial, realty and
 construction sectors.
 
 Operational highlights
 
 During the year 2010-11, Company completed expansion at its Chopanki
 Plant for manufacturing of Extra High Voltage (EHV) Cables ranging from
 66kV to 220kV. With the manufacturing of EHV Cables, your Company will
 be only the third Indian Company to manufacture EHV Cables up to 220kV.
 During the year under review, your Company achieved EHV Cable sales of
 Rs. 1400.00 lacs. However, the key highlights that transpired for your
 company in the year under review was the receipt of order worth Rs. 75
 Crores for EHV Cables.
 
 In addition, in line with the spurt in economic and industrial output
 in the year under review, your company recorded good sales in the power
 and utilities vertical, thereby further strengthening its leadership
 positioning in the power sector, along with strong orders from the
 industrial segment. I am confident that this development will help your
 company further strengthen its leadership positioning in the power
 sector and enhance presence in the industrial segment.
 
 Technical Collaboration
 
 Your Company joined hands with M/s Brugg Kabel AG, a company having
 over 100 years of experience and expertise in manufacturing EHV ranging
 from 66Kv to 550 KV in the previous year and entered into Technical
 Collaboration for manufacturing of EHV Cables up to 220kV. This
 technical Collaboration will entail complete know-how transfer,
 including designing, manufacturing, testing techniques, training of its
 manufacturing/design personnel in manufacturing of cables, etc. This
 technology will enable KEI to establish a stronghold in the EHV cable
 segment and enable it to secure contracts in the power segment from
 both the government and private sector.
 
 Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
 
 Your Company has marked its presence into Engineering, Procurement and
 Construction (EPC) space by bagging various prestigious orders
 primarily in the State of Madhya Pradesh. This EPC contract is on
 turn-key basis for survey, supply of materials, erection, testing &
 commissioning of 33kV & 11kV substation and distribution lines in power
 distribution segment, which was awarded by MP State Power Distribution
 Companies. This EPC contract has been awarded to the company under
 RAPDRP Scheme, Feeder Separation Scheme & Rajeev Gandhi Gramin
 Vidyutikaran Yojna (RGGVY).
 
 Strengthening EHV Cable segment
 
 The fastest growing segment is that of high voltage cables which is
 projected to be double in the next three years.  Presently, most of the
 demand for 132 KV, 220 KV and 400 KV XLPE cables are met through
 import. In addition to the projected growth in power generation and
 transmission, the rapid pace of urbanization is also expected to
 contribute to enhanced demand for underground high voltage cable
 installations in place of overhead lines. The Extra High Voltage cables
 segment enjoys both excellent demand prospects and is also marked by
 higher margins in comparison to MV and LV Cables.
 
 It is against this background that our full technical collaboration
 with Brugg assumes importance as it will also enable us to entrench our
 positioning in the EHV space by virtue of our ability to provide
 invaluable design and process solutions to our customers in executing
 EHV turnkey contracts. This Collaboration will enable KEI''s positioning
 amongst the top three companies addressing the 220 kV EHV space, boost
 our preparedness and pre-qualification to participate in large utility
 tenders and also give a firm impetus to our turnkey EPC business, which
 consumes significant portion of EHV cables.
 
 We believe that, going forward, with Company''s clear focus on this
 segment, coupled with its proactive and strategic initiatives and
 strengths to grow its presence in this space, almost 10% of your
 company''s revenues in FY12 will accrue from this segment.
 
 Retail – domestic house wires
 
 During the last three years the domestic house wires segment has shown
 tremendous growth. The encouraging results clearly reinforce your
 company''s excellent product and quality offering, endorse its cables''
 specialist positioning and also vindicate the myriad 360 degree brand
 communication and distribution & dealer enhancement initiatives
 undertaken over the last few years. During the year under review,
 Company appointed additional 130 number of dealer / distributor across
 Pan-India. Having reached so far, your company is all set to increase
 house wire sales contribution to over Rs. 200 crore in the coming
 fiscal by further augmenting distribution network and strengthening
 brand building activities.
 
 Exports
 
 With the complete meltdown witnessed in the company''s key markets of
 presence in Middle East and Africa, a sharp revenue erosion was
 witnessed in the previous year. With the global recovery underway and a
 definite spurt in demand, the export market is expected to slowly and
 steadily improve in the next year. The Company has achieved Export
 Sales of Rs. 10344.71 lacs during financial year 2010-11 as compared to
 Rs. 9362.60 lacs during previous year, showing a growth of 10%. Your
 Company has been awarded Trading House” status based on its export
 performance. With the global recovery underway and a definite spurt in
 demand, I expect improved performance of KEI in this segment.

 Strategic direction & outlook
 
 As I look ahead at 2011-12, the future looks bright and promising. As
 mentioned earlier in my letter, the demand for cables has already
 picked up and is expected to get a positive impetus. I see a positive
 scenario for your company in view of the overall macro-economic
