Dear Fellow Shareholders, I am glad to present you the Annual Report for the year 2011 -12. As you would see, during the year under review, your Company has achieved turnover of Rs.871.74 crores up from turnover of Rs.823.87 crores in 2010-11, with profit after tax of Rs.9.57 crores as against Rs. 2.11 crores in 2010-11. The overall growth was possible on account of concerted efforts at reducing non productive costs and continuous monitoring and improvement of efficiencies of the operating processes and procedures. We continue to put in efforts to shore up our efficiencies, by improving Inventory Management, reducing procurement prices for raw materials, improving turnaround time for order booking, improving quality policies and practices and by optimizing generally all other costs, so as to be competitive. Power supply continues to be a basic issue for India today. With large deficit continuing, the Country has ambitious plans to produce more and more power. This includes Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution. All these areas are being progressively liberalized for private investment. Power sector will be our major customer for Transformers and allied products. We are progressively going for both higher capacity and higher kV class ratings in Power Transformers. Nuclear Power sector is on the rise in India and India now envisages increasing the contribution of nuclear power to overall electricity generation capacity. As you are aware we are manufacturing special Motors for Nuclear Power Corporation of India. We would also benefit from the huge investment that is going to be made in Infrastructural sector. We have also been increasing supply of propulsion systems for the Electric Cars made by Mahindra Reva. We have initiated several measures across board - cutting costs, reducing overheads and taking an overall disciplined approach, rationalizing and streamlining operations to enhance efficiency. The sales organization has been recast to enhance the Company''s reach and our product lines are being aligned for market demand and profitability. We are laying more stress on performance today than ever before and likewise we are more proactive now than before. We are trying to reach the customers in every nook and corner of the Country and for the purpose expanding our reach and service network. We are also looking at increasing our presence in foreign markets. With the implementation of SAP across all our manufacturing units we have benefitted from the synergies of a common platform for a smooth operation across the organization. We are more confident today to take the future. We are well poised and prepared to shape our future by-coordinated strategy. By our technology and well spread coordinated team work we will meet our customer aspirations as the markets evolve having challenging demands on us. The global business scenario is hazy but having focused on high growth areas and extending the portfolio of our customers and by exploiting our strengths and by diversifying we will be strengthening our position in the market place. I am sure with the efforts being put in your Company will take its rightful place in the Industry. Your Company continues to be led by strong and motivated human resources. The Company believes in training and development of its employees for improving their skills, keeping them abreast of the evolving international technologies, to meet the emerging challenges in the market place and rising customer expectations. We are focused on development of managerial skills to ensure availability of top class talent to meet the ambitious growth and expansion plans of the Company.
