will amount to Rs.38,13,400/- plus dividend distribution tax of Rs. 6,48,087/-.
3. Operational Highlights:
The Company earned operational income of Rs. 10043.41 lacs compared to Rs. 7274.28 lacs for the previous year, depicting
a growth of 38.06%. The other income is Rs.227.17 lacs compared to Rs. 154.44 lacs in the previous year.
The total revenue for the year is Rs.10270.58 lacs against Rs. 7428.73 lacs in the previous year. Profit after tax is Rs. 418.35
lacs as compared to previous year figure of Rs.129.22 lacs, witness a spur of 223.75%.
During the period under review, Global economic activity showed signs of stabilization. In emerging market economies,
domestic demand remained subdued while demand from advanced economies helped their exports. The improvement in
growth and employment prospects in the United States of America led to outward capital flows from emerging market economies.
In 2013-14, like most emerging market economies, India faced capital outflows and intense exchange rate pressures coupled
with persisting high inflation and increased interest rates. On account of several measures, the current account deficit however
came into control and also recouped foreign exchange reserve.
Under the above challenging scenario, your Company has expanded its horizon on export front and successfully developed
market for its renewable energy transformers. This has resulted in better contribution and improved profitability.

Annexure-1 to the Director’s Report 2013-14
Management Discussion and Analysis
a) Industry Overview
Indian economy continued to remain sluggish during the whole year of 2013-14. The Infrastructure sector was one of the
worst affected segments of the Indian economy and within infrastructure, power sector was the most badly affected.
The sector faced plethora of problems. Many thermal power projects were delayed due to fuel problems. Hydropower
projects were facing problems due to issues relating to land acquisition and protests by the locals. Many projects
which were competed remained idle due to non-availability of natural gas. Prevailing tight liquidity condition only
aggravated the situation.
Transformers are an indispensable component of an alternate current (AC) electrical system for electricity generation,
transmission or distribution. In addition, the demand for transformers increases proportionately with the amplification
of power generation, transmission or distribution networks in the country.
For power and distribution transformer industry, situation further deteriorated as the domestic demand remained
depressed. Prevailing uncertainty in the power sector is doing no good to the Industry. In fact, number of companies
reported negative bottom line during the year. Most of the companies were impacted by rising costs and dwindling
sales. Also finance costs of almost all the companies have gone up sharply.
b) Opportunities
Power sector development programme in India has now gained momentum. Policy makers have realized that economic
development of the country will be seriously jeopardized if due attention is not given to the power sector to ensure that
sufficient and good quality electrical energy is made available to consumers at affordable price. As the power consumption
increases, there is a need to transfer large amounts of power from generators to consumers. In India, there will be a
significant growth in the T&D systems as the per capita power consumption increases to global levels and the per capita
GDP moves closer the developed nations.
Ministry of Power, Government of India had envisaged a capacity addition of 86,500 MW in the 12th plan period. A
corresponding plan for new investment and R&D is also conceived for the Transmission and Distribution segments in
line with the National Electricity Plan and the Integrated Energy Policy.
Although large power project are spilling over and delayed, relatively number of small and medium sized power
projects and subs-stations will be completed in the near future which indicates a prosper in demand for transformers.
IEEMA (Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association) along with government framed a policy to limit the
imports of transformers from China and Korea along with changing government policies on import duty for CRGO steel
is likely to further promote the domestic transformers industry in India.
Moreover, ageing transformers is creating potential for a booming replacement market. This demand is expected to be
sustained by the growth in industrial demand.
c) Threats
Owing to cost advantage, Indian transformer industry continues to face tough competition from the Chinese manufacturers.
Reliance on import for raw materials, specifically CRGO, is a major handicap for Indian transformer manufacturers in
achieving faster turnaround time as well as lower production costs.
d) Segment wise performance
Power transformer forms the largest chunk of transformer market by value and account for about 60-70% of the total
transformer industry. Distribution transformers would account for the remaining 30-40% of the total value of the
transformer industry.
Your Company is engaged in manufacturing of Distribution Transformers ranging from 5 KVA to 3000 KVA and Power
Transformers ranging from 3000 KVA to 25,000 KVA. The Company also manufactures solar and windmill transformers
for renewable energy sector.
e) Outlook
The Indian power and distribution transformer markets are highly dependent on investments planned by the Government
of India for the T&D segment and reform programs of the Central Government. These programs, when fully implemented
as scheduled, are expected to drive the demand for both power and distribution transformers.
It is expected that the newly led government at centre will provide an environment conducive for growth & investments,
with major reforms in infrastructure & renewable energy sector. With the continuous support from the government to
promote the power transformer industry through investments, tax benefits, subsidies etc. will help the industry to grow
over the coming years.
Growing Indian economy, growth in electricity consumption, growing industrial demand, expanding export market,
large scale generation capacity addition, setting up of national grid, rapid expansion of urban and rural distribution
infrastructure will remain key drivers of the transformer market in India.
In the present scenario, your Company will endeavor to focus on updating its technical capabilities to develop transformers
of latest technology and design and in turn strengthen its market share and improvise its profitability.

TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014
f) Internal control system
Internal controls and systems have found to be adequate. These are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee and
efforts are made to improve further, wherever possible.
g) Human resources and Safety
Your Company continued its activities during the year in a cordial atmosphere with utmost co-operation amongst
employees and the management. The management is committed to promote safety, occupational health and proper
environment is design, planning, training and completion of all tasks. Trainings are imparted to workmen in various
new techniques and systems.
