Management

“in FY22 and CAGR growing about 18% in 5 years.”
Management
opening
“Last two years, I think there has been historical high, in volume as well as profitability, but then if you look at the current oil prices being so high, there may be resistance from the customers to accept the price, therefore there will be pressure on the margins.”
Participant

“Would you say one category is more profitable meaningfully and how should we look at the mix going forward and what to?”
Management
opening
“As far as margins that you can expect because there is so much volatility in oil price.”
Management
opening
“Yes, I think if you look at percentage the auto oil would be high, but in absolute basis the transformer oils will be higher.”
Management

“So the margin pressure will be there when the prices are high and when the customer push for lower prices because if the overall oil price being high, the cost for the customers also really high.”

“Cables also I think we are actually putting up line to increase our manufacturing capacity for our elastomeric cables but at the current prices that we have, our capacity will be about 30-40% more than current business”

If we look at our first quarter and also the earning call transcript we indicated that first quarter was a very high profitability, the reason being that we had a high selling price and also as you buy materials your weighted average cost in the system also kind of increases slowly, so therefore you have a very high number in the first quarter, however, the cost will actually go up and if you see the crude oil is already around $105-110, so you will see pressure on margins on this.

From the management here, I am Ramesh and I am joined by Sanjay Lad. I’m sure you must have seen this corporate presentation which we have posted on the website. It is the same presentation, I will take you with some of the slides to give you an introduction of the business divisions in which we are in. So largely we are into 3 divisions Conductor, Oils and Cable division. Conductor Division: We are one of the largest global manufacturers of conductors and in India we are the largest manufacturers.

Will you take a subcontract, as you said you are on EPC that you take a complete turn key contract for laying the lines?
Management
So that is also one part of our business which is EPC as well as the supply conductors. Wherever it is reconductoring of the lines, we take EPC. That is something that if you look at EPC and other premium products that we are talking about it accounts to about half of our total sale there. These collectively we call as the premium products.
