OPERATIONS

A. PERFORMANCE

1. The Net Sales of the Company for the year ended on 31st March, 2016 was marginally lower at Rs. 212.43 crores as compared to Rs. 234.79 crores of the previous year.

2. Despite orders worth more than Rs. 700 crores in hand, the sales remained lower as the Company not being able to execute its orders due to paucity of funds to pay to the banks in time, resulting in devolvement of Letters of Credit, further restricting the availability of Non Fund Based facilities from banks, which forms an integral part of business terms of your Company.

The substantial reduction in the material cost was due to the close monitoring of the execution of orders resulting in higher contribution.

4. The Employee benefits expenses were Rs. 3081 Lacs as compared to Rs. 3278 Lacs during previous year, mainly on account of rationalization of manpower.

5. Reduction in material consumption coupled with lower overheads resulted in your Company achieving a positive EBITDA after a gap of two years. The EBITDA stood at Rs. 0.89 crores compared to - Rs. 29.72 crores during the previous year.

7. The other income stood at Rs. 384 Lacs during the year as compared to Rs. 311 Lacs during the year ended on 31st March, 2015, mainly due to higher dividend received from the Joint Venture, Jyoti Sohar Switchgear LLC (JSSL) and interest received on Income Tax refunds.

8. The lower material cost and overheads resulted in containing the net loss for the year at Rs. 82.80 crores as compared to Rs. 113.54 crores for the previous year.

9. The cash losses of the last few years have eroded the working capital. During the year, there was a net increase in Current Liabilities by Rs. 68.24 crores. On the other hand, there was a reduction in Current Assets by Rs. 35.62 crores.

B. CURRENT OUTLOOK

The infrastructure industry, particularly in water and power segments, has not recovered as expected, resulting in delay in completion of projects and the recovery of dues, further adding to an already depleted financial position. The Company is optimistic of improvement in these sectors, which will help in speedy execution of projects and resultant collection of its dues.

The Hon’ble BIFR, in the hearing held on 5th October, 2015, declared the Company, a Sick Industrial Company in terms of Section 3(1)(o) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and appointed the Lead Bank, Central Bank of India as Operating Agency (OA) under section 17(3) of the Act to examine the viability of the Company and for formulating a Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) for revival of the Company with a Cut Off Date of 31st March, 2016.

As per the directions of the Hon’ble BIFR, the Company has submitted the DRS to the OA, other consortium member banks/lenders and Hon’ble BIFR. Company’s Techno Economic Viability Study (TEV), carried out by a leading agency has been submitted to the Banks. The DRS is presently under consideration of the Banks.

The Company is very positive about its viability, in line with the DRS proposal and TEV submitted to the lenders. The Company’s ability to continue to execute its orders, despite adversities, adds confidence that Company’s financials will show a marked improvement once the DRS proposal is accepted and implemented by the lenders and the Hon’ble BIFR.

Your Company continues to strive for collection of over dues, better price and collection terms in sales orders, containing material cost, rationalization of manpower and control of overheads with bare minimum spending on capital expenditure. Your Directors are happy to report that the efforts are paying off and your Company has achieved a sales turnover of Rs. 72 crores during the first quarter of the current year (Rs. 53.64 crores during first quarter of 2015-16) and it is expected that the progression will continue during the year.

The division was caught in a vicious circle of recovery and progress, which were interlinked. The challenges were multifold to pass through the year smoothly. However, against all odds the division remained the major contributor in sales of about 54% of the Company’s turnover. The division has also managed to move into the next financial year with a pending order position of more than Rs. 600 crores.

Continuing its presence in the Irrigation Sector, the division has received a major order from M/s DRN Infrastructure for Tubchi Bableshwar Lift Irrigation Scheme under Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Limited for supply of 5 Nos.

OPERATIONS

A. PERFORMANCE

1. The Net Sales of the Company for the year ended on 31st March, 2015 marginally improved to Rs, 234.79 crores as compared to Rs, 231.78 crores of the previous year. The sales remained lower on account of following reasons:- a) The continued slowdown in the economy in general and particularly in irrigation and water management projects resulted in stagnation of top-line performance. Despite comfortable order book position, the Company could not execute various orders.

b) The slowdown in the infrastructure industry segment also affected Company's end customers. Non recovery of dues from such customers forced the Company to curtail further execution of orders.

c) The cash crunch faced due to above reasons resulted in Company not being able to make the payment to banks for Letter of Credit facilities. This affected further LCs to be opened in favor of materials suppliers, which in turn, affected production and consequent sales.

d) External factors such as forest land issue, environmental issue, evacuation, preparation of site, etc. have affected planned execution by construction companies, which are our major partners in EPC contracts. This, in turn, affected Company's scheduled production and supplies in such cases.

2. The loss during the year was lower at Rs, 113.54 crores as compared to previous year's loss of Rs, 128.39 crores. The main reasons for the losses are- a) The material costs have been higher due to pressure in material prices and increased costs due to delay in execution of various projects, discounts demanded by customers in product sales, certain strategic orders taken at lower margin for future sustainability of order flow, etc.

b) The Company was able to reduce Employees benefits expense and other expenses, but the lower sales and high material costs resulted in lower contribution, which could not absorb these expenses fully.

c) The difficult market situation in the EPC Contracts continues to affect the operations and profitability of the Company. Many customers have postponed further capital expenditure in various projects and/or kept further implementation in abeyance and some receivables have become doubtful. As a precaution, the Company has provided for such bad and doubtful receivables and advances in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

OPERATIONS

A. PERFORMANCE

1. The Net Sales of the Company for the year ended on 31st March, 2014 have been Rs. 231.78 crores as compared to Rs. 410.43 crores of the previous year. The sales are lower on account of following reasons:- a) The slowdown in the economy in general, water and power segments in particular, have taken the toll on the top-line performance of the Company and despite comfortable order book position, the Company could not execute various orders.

b) The process of CDR approval and implementation was completed by December, 2013. During the intervening period, the LC facilities from various banks were not available regularly due to LC devolvements. This affected further LCs to be opened in favour of materials suppliers during April to November, which also affected production and sales.

c) Certain projects, both in irrigation and hydro-generating power segments, where the availability of funds with the end customers was inadequate due to their own problems. The Company curtailed further execution on such orders till outstanding of such customers started being cleared and there was indication about future payments likely to be regular from those customers.

d) Some of the projects, there were external factors such as forest land issue, evacuation, preparation of site, which have affected planned execution and resulted in mismatch of execution in synchronisation with construction companies, which are our major partners in EPC contracts.

2. The loss during the year amounted to Rs. 128.39 crores as compared to previous year loss of Rs. 36.70 crores. Following are the main reasons for such higher losses-

a) The Company''s sales were lower at Rs. 231.78 crores as compared to Rs. 410.43 crores. This lower level of activity resulted in lower absorption of overheads.

b) The material costs have been relatively higher on account of inter-play of various factors such as price negotiation during order finalisation in projects, discounts demanded by customers in product sales, certain strategic orders taken at lower margin for future sustainability of order flow, inflationary pressure in material prices along with increased costs due to delay in execution of various projects, etc.

c) Even though the Company rationalised the manpower at all levels and took further measures to control the employees'' cost, it continued to be higher as compared to the level of activity. This year, the Company has taken further measures on rationalisation of manpower and to control the employees'' cost in other manners, which should result in reduction in losses.

d) The finance cost continued to be very high due to liquidity constraints faced by the Company. The collection from receivables continued to be very challenging affair during the entire year. Further, under CDR Package, many LC devolvements were converted into Working Capital Term Loans with a moratorium of 2 years and thereafter repayment of 5 years. Moreover, all the other Term Loans were also rescheduled with 2-year moratorium and thereafter 6 to 8 years repayment. The Company was also granted additional amounts for need based working capital and fresh term loans for absolutely necessary capital expenditure. This also resulted in higher finance costs.

e) The difficult market situation in the EPC Contracts, have affected the profitability and liquidity of the Company. Secondly, many customers have postponed further capital expenditure in various projects and/or kept in abeyance further implementation. In pursuant to this, the Company has provided for bad and doubtful receivables and advances in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

B. CURRENT OUTLOOK

The Management has already taken various measures for the revival of the Company. The following are some of these measures:- a) As indicated earlier, rationalisation of manpower along with other measures taken in the financial year 2013-14 and in the current year have yielded considerable impact on reduction of overall employees'' cost.

b) The Company has also reduced substantially the expenses in the areas of traveling and conveyance, publicity and other sales promotion expenses, transportation cost of materials from suppliers and to the customers, stationery, printing, expenses on professionals and consultants, insurance and other site expenses, etc. This reduction will give sustainable long term benefit to the Company.

c) The Company has geared up its collection drive. All out efforts are on to collect old receivables, as well as close monitoring at all levels are being done to realise on the current receivables. It is satisfactory to mention that such intensive efforts have improved collection flow and particularly a delayed collection of Karnataka State to the extent of about Rs. 25 crores from a single party. Since these collections have been more forthcoming in last quarter of the year under review, it will have better impact realised in the current year. The Management continues to place highest priority on collections, it is expected that the current year should see better liquidity and easing of operations. With efficient cash flow management and removal of mismatch among the requirements, there would be pockets of liquidity surplus which would be utilised for reduction in finance costs.

d) The Company has stopped taking strategic orders of low margin. Besides, it has now focused on those new orders, where margins are reasonably high and the cash flows are positive even at execution stage.

e) The Management has also cut down all capital expenditure barring absolutely necessary expenditure for operational requirements.

CORPORATE DEBT RESTRUCTURING (CDR)

The slowdown in the economy in general, water and power segments in particular, in last couple of years have affected Company''s operations significantly. The impact on cash flow has been substantial due to delayed collections from most of the customers in these areas. The Company could not meet its commitments with bankers and suppliers and, therefore, there had been delays in clearing of LCs, interest and bank installments, etc. To overcome this situation on a long term basis, the Company opted for debt restructuring exercise, under Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Mechanism as per RBI guidelines, with very well support of bankers, which was finally approved by CDR Empowered Group (EG), vide their Letter of Approval dated 28th September, 2013. As per the Package, with effect from 1st April, 2013, the Company will get the following benefits:- a) Conversion of outstanding LC devolvement into Working Capital Term Loans with 2-year moratorium and thereafter 5-year repayment period.

b) Re-schedulement of all existing term loans with 2-year moratorium and thereafter 6-year to 8-year repayment period.

c) Granting of fresh term loans for capital expenditure and retention receivables, with 2-year moratorium and thereafter 8-year repayment period.

d) Funding of interest on various term loans for the 18 months period from 01-04-2013 to 30-09- 2014, to be repaid over a period of 3.5 years.

e) Reduction of interest rates on working capital and term loans with effect from 01-04-2013.

f) Flexibility in calculation of drawing power for 2 years i.e. FY2013-14 and FY2014-15.

Your Directors would like to place their grateful acknowledgment of support given by all the banks and CDR Cell for giving such comprehensive restructuring package at very crucial time of the Company.

It is believed that the Company would be able to withstand the pressure of difficult market situation and will be able to revive and come out of the financial difficulties on the implementation of the package so finalised.

REGISTRATION WITH THE BOARD FOR INDUSTRIAL AND FINANCIAL RECONSTRUCTION (BIFR)

As per the Audited Financial Statements for 2013-14, the accumulated losses of the Company as on 31st March, 2014, have exceeded its entire net worth as on the same date, as such the Company has become a sick industrial company and is obligated to make the necessary reference with the Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) in terms of the provisions of Section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA), for determination of measures for its rehabilitation. The Company is in the process of making the necessary statutory compliances.

DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE

A. ENGINEERED PUMPS & PROJECTS DIVISION

During the year under review, Engineered Pumps & Projects Division (EPPD) business remained stagnant in view of difficult market situation and poor economy. Even though the division had orders, which would have ensured growth, strategically the project execution was delayed due to non-availability of budgets and funds with customers. In view of the economic slowdown, the

infrastructure companies, who are the main customers of EPPD were also going through a very difficult phase. During the end of the year, the division has a carry forward order book of Rs. 423 crores.

The division has received two orders from NTPC Limited during the year. The division received an order for CW system of 1 x 500 MW from NTPC, Vindhyachal on its own qualification and merits. This is the first time the division has got qualified on its own for a 500 MW project based on its successful commissioning of 3 x 500 MW NTPC Aravali Project. Similarly, the division has also received an order for Raw Water System for 2 x 660 MW for NTPC Solapur Project.

During the year, the division has for the first time received an order for Sewage Treatment Plant from Delhi Jal Board through JITF Water Infrastructure Ltd. With this order, the division will also get qualified for Sewage Treatment Plants upto 70 MGD. The other important order the division has received, was for Koppal-2 Lift Irrigation Scheme from G. Shankar-IVRCL JV for Krishna Bhagya Jal Nigam Limited valued at Rs. 95 crores. This project calls for supply of Metal Volute Pumps with Synchronous Motors of about 5 MW each along with all other electro-mechanical and instrumentation work which includes erection, testing and commissioning and operation and maintenance for 5 years. For this project, the division got qualified for Metal Volute Pumps on its own merit.

The division has successfully supplied, erected, tested and commissioned Gadhadha NC-1A Lift Irrigation Scheme for Gujarat Water Infrastructure Ltd. (GWIL), which includes civil, electro- mechanical including 66kV switchyard in a record time of 9 months. The project was awarded to the division in the month of August 2012 and was commissioned in May 2013.

For other NC projects of GWIL, the division has supplied Horizontal Split Case pumps and motors through Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. and Larsen & Toubro Ltd. in record time. The total number of pumps and motors supplied were 41 Nos.

More than Rs. 500 crores worth orders are under discussion and negotiation with various customers, where the division is well placed. The division expects to finalise these orders during the first half of next financial year.

The division is hopeful that the infrastructure business will get a boost after the upcoming General Elections in the next financial year and the division is geared up for taking up the challenges of future.

The division is now concentrating for closing and handing over of various ongoing projects, to realise its payment from customers.

B. HYDEL

The Hydro Power business continues to grow at a very slow pace, due to major environmental issues and lack of financial support. Even though the division has a pending carry forward order of Rs. 74 crores for the next financial year, the growth is not being achieved, since most of these orders are under hold for either environmental or financial reasons. The division is also been very selective and careful in taking up new jobs for execution.

During the year, the model testing of Low Head Kaplan Turbine was carried out successfully by NTPC Limited, which was developed for Jyoti Limited in technical collaboration with CKD Blansko Engineering, a.s. (CBE) of Czech Republic for NTPC Singrauli 2 x 4 MW project.

The division has already supplied turbines and generators for six different projects in Indonesia, out of which three projects are being successfully commissioned including Karai-13 (2 x 4.2 MW), which was commissioned during the year under review. The division is actively pursuing to increase its base in Indonesia for future business.

The division has successfully manufactured and supplied the largest ever draft tube for a 40 MW hydro turbine under technical guidance from CKD Blansko Engineering, a.s. (CBE) of Czech Republic for 2 x 40 MW Koyna Hydro Power Station. With this, the division has entered into large hydro sector. All other stationary components of the turbine are under manufacturing.

The division is hopeful to revive their business and ensure growth in the subsequent years as major post election policies are expected to increase the share of hydro power generation.

C. ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES

During the year, the division was concentrating on developmental activities in view of low business volumes mainly due to slow down in the infrastructure business and the economy. Even during this year, the wind energy business was at a very low profile and hence, the division could not sell the wind energy generators, which is their star product. The business of Arno has also substantially gone down in view of lower budgets. The reduced business volume resulted into increased discounts in the market and the division was not able to absorb such heavy discounts. As a part of cost reduction, the division was concentrating on development of lower frame motors with higher output and creating infrastructure for manufacturing HT and LT motors with die-cast motors upto 700 KW. The division has also increased its type testing capability by successful commissioning of Dynamo meter for type test and temperature rise test of horizontal and vertical motors upto 2400 KW.

During the year, the division has manufactured 71 Nos. of HT motors and 13 Nos. of Hydro Generators. The division has received an order for 16 Nos. of HT motors from Western Coalfields, Nagpur under stiff competition. The division further expects good order book position in the next financial year post, General Elections.

D. SWITCHGEAR

During the year under review, the Switchgear Division has achieved Sales of Rs. 6037 Lakhs and has received orders worth Rs. 7182 Lakhs.

Some of the milestones achieved by the Division during the financial year 2013-14 are enumerated below:- 1. The Company has received orders from GETCO for supply of VCB panels worth Rs. 2300 lakhs.

2. The Company has completed development of 11KV-SF6 Ring Main Unit (RMU) and complete type-testing of the RMU was done at CESI, Italy. The Company has received its first break through order from MGVCL – GEB DISCOM worth Rs. 440 lakhs for supply of 100 (Nos.) RMU. The Company has also received orders from various customers, such as DGVCL Surat, IOCL Baugaigaon, Monte Carlo- A/c UGVCL, etc.

3. The Company has further received prestigious orders aggregating to Rs. 1303 Lakhs from BPCL, CPCL, Oil India, Department of Atomic Energy, DPDC-Bangladesh.

During the year, the Company has re-certified various products as a continuous product certification process. In accordance with the latest IEC-62271-200 requirement and IAC classification certification, the Company has for the first time type-tested Internal Arc Test at 25 KA for 1 sec at PEHLA Germany, which was successful.

High End Numerical Relays of Protecta Hungary were installed at various important customers of India in their Transmission Network such as PSPTCL (Punjab), UPTCL (U.P.), BSES (Delhi), CSPTCL (Chhatisgarh), JKPDCL (J&K) and the performance of installed Relays is very good.

As R-APDRP projects are funded by the Government of India and huge requirement of RMU is projected in the next five years, there will be a good flow of orders for RMU and huge growth in

RMU Business is expected. For other Medium Voltage Switchgear Products also with the continuous thrust the requirement is bound to grow in power sector. The position of the order book is expected to further perk up post the General Elections.

EXPORTS

During the year under review, the Company has total exports valued at Rs. 1132.76 lakhs. The Company''s major exports are to Sultanate of Oman for Switchgear and Indonesia for Hydel Turbines.

OPERATIONS

The year under review has not been encouraging for Companies engaged in infrastructure business, your Company not being an exception. This sector was starved of funds and policy support from Central Government and uncertainties at State Government levels due to which many projects were delayed, shelved or ran aground. Added to this, many projects faced legal battles from NGOs or others on environmental clearances. Your Company was thus faced with the piquant situation of existing orders being put on hold by customers and order booking getting dried up or facing stiff erosion in margin. Your Company has thus achieved sales of Rs. 410.43 crores during the year 2012-13 as compared to the sales of Rs. 501.18 crores achieved during the previous year leading to a loss of Rs. 36.70 crores during the current year as compared to the profit of Rs. 7.44 crores achieved during the previous year. The profitability of the Company was eroded on account of lower sales which could not cover the overheads fully.

The Company has taken proactive steps to arrest the downward slide. In line with the reduced turnover, the Company has taken steps to reduce overheads substantially by concentrating its attention on manpower, material, financial costs and other administrative expenses to improve profitability. This will improve bottom line of the Company. The Company has decided to balance the uncertainties of project based divisions like Irrigation, Power and Hydel by judiciously concentrating on faster turnover in products based divisions like Switchgear, Rotating Electrical Machines and Standard and Heavy Pumps which have shorter cycle of order receipt to collection. These divisions would thus offset the uncertainties faced by project based divisions when the market and policy are sluggish.

Inspite of above, we are happy to report that the Company has order book of Rs. 603 crores as on 1st April, 2013 and the Company is favourably placed in orders to the tune of Rs. 1000 crores which should fructify soon. Thus, the Company which is in the core sectors of Water and Power has bright future inspite of this temporary setback.

FINANCE

During the year under review, the Company faced unprecedented liquidity crunch due to lower level of collections from customers. Despite intensive efforts and forming of task force to collect the receivables, the market condition did not allow improvement in cash flows from collections and, therefore, the Company had to resort to large borrowings. The Company got excellent support from its lending Banks, by way of increase in normal banking arrangements, to meet challenges on cash flows. Further to this, the Banks additionally supported the Company by way of buyer''s credits against import of materials, which buyer''s credits were availed at much lower finance costs. Despite this support, the liquidity strain affected the Company''s cash flow and resultantly it could not pay some portion of buyer''s credit and Government dues aggregating to Rs. 42.43 crores by 31st March, 2013.

In the current financial year 2013-14, the market situation continues to be very difficult in relation to cash inflows. It is also felt that the user business segment of water and power for the Company will continue to be affected for various reasons in near visibility.

The Company has, therefore, approached its bankers for restructuring plans, preferably under Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism, like revising repayment schedule of all existing loans, getting interest reduction on all types of Bank borrowings and other supportive measures so that the Company can withstand the liquidity strain as well as sustain its operations with necessary flexibility of cash flows.

DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE

ENGINEERED PUMPS & PROJECTS

During the year under review, Engineered Pumps & Projects Division (EPPD) did not focus on growth in view of the difficult market situation. The division was working more towards consolidating and maintaining its present market status. Unfortunately, even in the core sectors of Water Supply, Irrigation and Power there was no major thrust either by way of new projects or financing of existing projects. However, the division could survive on its own, in view of its order book position.

A very important milestone and landmark of the year was with the Power division of EPPD entering into an Agreement with M/s. Termomeccanica Pompe (TMP) of Italy for manufacturing and supply of Concrete Volute Pumps for large Thermal and Irrigation Projects. TMP is the leading manufacturer of Concrete Volute Pumps in Italy. They have supplied and commissioned more than 157 Nos. Concrete Volute Pumps. With this arrangement, your Company can qualify for quoting for large thermal power projects with single unit of 800 MW.

During the year, unfortunately, not even one power project was finalised by NTPC Limited – the largest thermal power producer in the country. However, in the last quarter of the financial year, major tenders were floated for 660 MW and 800 MW power projects by NTPC. In view of the recent collaboration with TMP and earlier collaboration with DMW Corporation of Japan, the division could successfully participate in these bids where earlier your Company was not getting qualified. The division is well placed in these tenders and is looking forward for a major market share in large rating thermal power plants.

During the year, the division has also received a major order from NTPL (a subsidiary of NLC) on a turnkey basis including civil, design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection & commissioning of electro-mechanical equipments. The order value is worth Rs. 38 crores. This project is for make up water system and is designed for sea water application.

During the year, the division could get 75% share of various orders finalised by the Government of Gujarat for Lift Irrigation and Water Supply. The division bagged five turnkey projects involving design, engineering, manufacturing and supply of electro-mechanical equipments valued at Rs. 85 crores. Similarly, the division has also supplied only pumps and motors for certain projects valued around Rs. 10 crores. In Gujarat alone, the division could successfully bag orders of around Rs. 90 crores and executed orders worth Rs. 65 crores during the same year. The number of large pump orders received from Gujarat State alone during the year under review for Irrigation & Water Supply contracts was 77 in nos.

The division has submitted tenders worth Rs. 1000 crores where they are well placed. Even though temporary slow down was experienced, the division has geared up during this lean period for a better future. The core sectors will definitely get its due attention from the Government and the division is all set to support this growth.

HYDEL

The Hydro Power generation is growing at a very slow pace mainly due to environmental and forest related issues and also lack of support from financial institutions. No major orders were finalised during the year by Government and private developers. Most of the Government projects have been delayed for more than a year.

The division has bagged the 6th project order from Indonesia for 2 x 1.5 MW Hydro Power Project. The division is focusing on further increasing its base in Indonesia.

The division already has a technical tie-up with CKD Blansko Engineering, a.s. of Czech Republic (100% subsidiary of Litostroj Power) for large turbines projects on case to case basis. During the year, the division has procured the complete design of low head turbine models with very high efficiency to improve upon its manufacturing range. This will help the division to quote for major tenders in Kaplan turbines.

The division has already submitted various tenders and many delayed tenders are in pipeline where the division is working actively. The total expected tenders where the division is well placed is approx. Rs. 600 crores. The division expects a very good future in the forthcoming years and presently has a strong order position on hand worth Rs. 100 crores.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES

During the year, even though the production levels were maintained similar to the previous year, the price realisation was not good enough to sustain. The Wind Energy Generators and Arno Converters which are the main products of this division, had a set back. The Wind Energy business during the year did not show any sign of improvement which affected generator business badly. The intake of Arno Converters by Indian Railways had also substantially gone down during the year. However, in the forthcoming year, the division expects a very good business for Arno Converters.

During this lean period, the division was getting prepared for its future. All the existing designs were reviewed by the division for improvement in terms of better output. The division has successfully implemented new range of machines with lower frame by using the most sophisticated and latest technology software of ANSYS from USA and Infolytica from Canada. Even the small motor division has gone for a major cost reduction by converting all its existing motors from Copper Wound Rotors to Die-Cast Rotors. This will help the division to compete in the market for lower ratings upto 1000 KW.

The type testing facility has also been created for testing both Horizontal and Vertical Motors upto 2500 KW in-house. However, load testing of the motors can be done with pumps even upto 6 MW with the newly installed captive generator set of 8 MW. The division is all geared up for growth and is ready to enter the market aggressively.

SWITCHGEAR

During the year under review, the division has registered all time high production of Rs. 7751 lacs (which includes sales of Rs. 7501 lacs), which is 35% higher in terms of value over the previous year 2011-12.

The Company has bagged various 11 kV VCB panel orders from GETCO worth approx. Rs. 2600 lacs. This includes largest order from GETCO for 540 nos. panel supply and buyback having worth Rs. 1350 lacs. Apart from above, GETCO has awarded an order for modification of 514 Nos. panel which were supplied by the Company. This order is a repeat order and under Human Safety aspect. As reported last year, the Company has developed SF6 Ring Main Unit (Jyoti Ring) with the design collaboration with M/s. Elmecon, U. K. based design house. This product has been tested at ERDA, Vadodara and CESI, Italy. CESI is an International testing laboratory and Jyoti Ring has passed all the type tests successfully in one shot.

During the year under review, the Company has made collaboration and tie-up with Hungary based European Company namely M/s. Protecta Ltd., for Numerical Relays and their sub-station Automation products, with a vision of establishing a manufacturing set-up in India for an Indian market in coming five years. Your Company will be the only Company in India who will supply this Protecta Numerical Relays which are suitable for Transmission, Distribution and Generation requirements.

Your Company has developed HT Automatic Power Factor Capacitor Panels and fully type tested as per latest standards. This product is useful for H.T. Capacitor Banks in Distribution, Generation and Transmission network up to 12 kV systems.

During the year under review, the Company has re-certified various products such as 33kV Indoor VCB panels, 33kV Outdoor VCBs as a continuous product certification process.

With the continuous thrust of the Government in the Power Sector, the requirement of Medium Voltage Switchgear is bound to grow in Power Sector and the division is expected to perform better in the years to come.

EXPORTS

During the year under review, the Company has total exports valued at Rs. 13.33 crores. The Company''s major exports are to Sultanate of Oman for Switchgear, Vietnam and Indonesia for Hydel Turbines. In the years to come, the Company is looking forward to enhance its export market in other countries.

PUBLIC DEPOSITS

Your Company has not accepted any deposits from the Public during the year under review.
