Company's objectives, expectations or predictions may be forward looking
within the meaning of applicable securities, laws and regulations. Actual
results may differ materially from those expressed in the statement.
Important factors that could influence the Company's operations include
overall global economic conditions, domestic manufacturing and service
sector growth, foreign exchange stability, stable credit environment,
Government policies, economic development, political factors and such other
factors beyond the control of the Company.
Business Overview:
The company is engaged in the business of the manufacturing Cables of
various sizes for the Telecom Sector and the company also trades in cable
accessories.
During the previous year the Company had acquired 100% shareholding of its
erstwhile subsidiary - M/s Shilpi Cabletronics Ltd. Thereafter Shilpi
Cabletronics Ltd has now been merged with the Company with the approval of
the High Court along with its business and manufacturing plant at Bhwadi,
Rajasthan.
Accordingly, apart from manufacturing and trading of telecom cables from
its Chopaki Plant at Rajasthan; the Company is now engaged manufacturing
and trading of automobiles, telecom and other cables and accessories from
its Bhiwadi Plant.
Despite the worldwide economic challenges,your Company remained steadfast
in delivering excellent performance during last financial year. Your Board
hopes that with the support from the Telecom & Automotive market, your
Company will accelerate the process to forge ahead towards the goal of
being a top-class company in this sector.
Industry Structure, Developments & Outlook:
The Indian cable market has been witnessing growth owing to the increasing
subscriber base. With over 900 million users, the Indian telecom market is
the second largest in the world. An expanding subscriber base and broad
band growth have led to telecom operators adopting new technologies to
increase the capacity of existing networks and offer improved quality of
service (QoS).
Active infrastructure in a telecom network comprises components such as
radio frequency (RF) feeder cables, base transceiver stations (BTSs),
switches and antennas. RF feeder cables are used for connecting BTSs to
antennas, and given the large number of BTSs deployed in the country; there
exists a large market for this component.
As far as telecom cable sector is concerned;the key components that will
drive the demand of feeder cables in India in future are:
* Strong subscriber base and healthy growth estimates based on expansion of
mobile telephony in rural India;
* Demand for cell sites is expected to increase with each operator vying
for geographical expansion of their network; Mobile Number Portability
(MNP)
* 3G services
* Replacement of existing cables
Sharing of active infrastructure will also allow operators to share key
electronic components such as antennae, radio access networks, transmission
system and backhaul. Globally, sharing of active infrastructure elements
has been in commercial operation by 2G and 3G players.
Opportunities & Threats:
Opportunities in the Indian market: In India we have been focusing on the
increasing distribution network and product basket. With large population,
increasing urbanization and disposable income, the industry in which we
operate provide sustainable growth on a longerterm basis.
Opportunities in the international market: Robust growth of emerging
economies provides large opportunities to the company. We are a well
established Company in these economies and will continue to focus on the
growth, new product launches and increasing distribution strength. In other
mature economies, the market trend is changing favorably. The strategy of
the company is to get higher profitability and stable cash flow generations
in these markets.
Threats:-
Slow down: A slowdown of the World Economy mainly European economy is quite
possible for the short term due to current global developments. Due to the
strong linkage of the manufacturing industry to the economy, such an event
would adversely impact growth in the short term for the Company.
Competition: Competition whether domestic or international has always been
taken as a challenge. Transforming challenges into opportunities has been a
practice at our company.
Foreign Exchange: The business includes foreign currency risk due to
outsourcing from low cost countries and selling in other geographies. As it
has been the market practice followed by other major competitors and all
companies working on a global platform,the market absorption of the change
is natural.
Risk Management & Internal Control system:
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks across its entire range of
business operations. To ensure its long-term success, risks are regularly
identified, analysed and appropriately mitigated. The company's products
are used primarily by the power utilities, infrastructure, real
estate,automobile and industrial segment. Any slowdown in these sectors can
largely impact the demand for the company's products.
The Company is also exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates and
commodity prices across its various business segments. Further, the Company
also has exposures to other foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities. In many cases, such exposures are partly off-set by suitable
pass-through clauses built into contracts with customers.
The Company's Internal Control Process has been designed to achieve its
objectives to permissible limits through the effective function and
combination of its basic elements.
Human Resource:
The company places due importance on its human capital assets and invests
in building and nurturing a strong talented pool to gain strategic edge and
achieve operational excellence in all its goals. As a part of ongoing HR
initiatives, skill mapping and matching is carried out; assessment of
training and development is also carried out at the time of performance
appraisals. Adequate training, mentoring programmes are designed to bridge
gaps, if any. Clear objectives and goals are determined to bring
objectivity to performance and overall goal achievement. During the year,
industrial relations continued to be cordial, with a strong spirit of
bonhomie and camaraderie prevailing among the rank and file of employees.
Product wise Performance:
The company sold cables wire and accessories of Rs 46028.81 Lacs during
financial year 2011-12.
