overhang of slow recovery. As in the last two to three years the domestic market for generators continued to be sluggish in Fiscal 2020. The global scenario offered no cause for cheer as it continued to encounter challenges including volatility, Eurozone instability, depression in crude oil and volatile commodity prices & currency depreciation in emerging markets. However, to sustain & derisk business, the company continued to focus on overseas market s , offered machines for new applications, invested in automation and enhancement of facilities to meet international quality standards. These initiative as also global market development efforts involved significant costs which have been incurred. In addition, as an Indian manufacturer, it faces significant competition from global peers in the overseas markets which brings certain level of pricing competitiveness.Though some of the above initiatives will contribute to the sustainability and growth of the business in the future, some of the above factors affected the company in cost, realizations and profits.
2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement:
Increased focus has been initiated to improve overseas markets which is the mainstay of company's turnover considering the state of the domestic market. The overseas wholly owned subsidiaries are performing well in the market and ultimately it will enable the Company to be in a position to gain a good market share in overseas operations also improve its financial positions. Certain measures have been initiated towards cost rationalization & control. Steps are ongoing to make generators for newer applications and markets thus expanding Revenue and margins.
3. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms:
Subject however, to the severity of the effect of the ongoing pandemic, the steps initiated as above are expected to increase sales, improve capacity utilization, realizations and profitability in the range of at least 10%-15% year on year. It is also expected that new markets will provide better opportunities for better margins.
