Our Company was incorporated as 'Indowind Energy Private Limited' on
July 19, 1995 vide certificate of incorporation No. 18-32311 of 1995
issued
by the RoC, Tamil Nadu at Chennai. Thereafter, pursuant to the
provisions of
Section 43A of the Companies Act, our Company was converted into
Public
Limited Company on September 30, 1997.
Our Company has been promoted by Mr. K.V. Bala and Subuthi Finance
Limited with the main object of developing wind farms on a large
scale for
commercial exploitation, generating energy from Wind Mills, Wind
Turbines and
other Equipment and selling it to State Electric Boards and Corporate
clients.
Our Promoter Mr. K.V. Bala, a B.Tech, MBA having promoted Subuthi
Finance
identified wind energy generation as a sunrise sector and in this
endeavour,
promoted our Company for sale of 'Green Power' to Corporates and
SEBs. Our
Company commenced its commercial operation of generating power on
September,
1995 by setting up 225 KW Wind Electric Generator in Tamil Nadu. Our
Company
has been raising its generation capacity every year and the same has
since been
increased to 16.825 MW. Our Company generated 5.6 lac units of power
during
1995-96 with a PLF of 4.5%, which has been continuously increasing
and it
achieved a production of 283.75 lac units with a PLF of 23.76 %
during FY
2005-06.
We have purchased WEGs from reputed suppliers like NEPC-MICON,
VESTAS-RRB, AMTL-Wind World and AWT to avoid dependence on single
technology and single manufacturer. We offer 'Green Power' to our
customers that
include SEBs and Corporates. Other than the above we are also into
the business
of providing Operations and Maintenance services for windmills.
Recently we have
also ventured into turnkey projects for erection, installation and
maintenance of
windmills for corporates companies. We have worked continuously to
strengthen
our infrastructure and enhance our presence in this sector.
We have been selling the power generated to Tamil Nadu Electricity
Board (TNEB)
and various private corporate clients in Karnataka such as Hindustan
Coca Cola
Beverages Private Limited, Karnataka Distilleries Limited, Managalore
Distilleries
Limited, H&R Johnson India Limited, Delphi Automotive Systems Private
Limited and
Spicer India Limited. The electricity charges recovered for the
corporate clients in
Karnataka are more than the revenue generated from the sale to SEBs.
Since the
wheeling charges under the new policy are very exorbitant, we have
decided to sell
the power generated from the proposed 9 MW project to KPTCL where the
realisation
per unit is higher as compared to sale to private corporate clients.
For the year ended June 30, 2006, we achieved a turnover and
profitability of
Rs. 2603.41 lacs and Rs. 550.91 lacs respectively. Due to better cost
management
and higher PLF, our Company has been able to maintain a sustainable
growth. During
the period FY 2002 - 2006, our turnover and profitability has grown
at a CAGR of
28.81% and 22.31% respectively.
