Havells India is aiming to double revenues from its switchgear business to Rs 1,800 crore in the next three years, as it expands switchgear operations in the country. To cater to both domestic and international markets, the company has expanded its switchgear manufacturing operations by setting up a new plant at Sahibabad Industrial Area at Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Last month the new plant became operational which entailed investment of close to Rs 50 crore.
Due to better efficiencies in the systems backed by large scale automated operations and focus on the high end switchgear, this new factory will give the company an incisive edge over the competition. Havells derives half its revenue from Germany's SLI Sylvania that it acquired in 2007.
Since the domestic market is growing very fast in China, the company is scouting for a joint venture partner to boost sales and set up a manufacturing facility there. Havells has lately started shipping its products to China. The company has got 12 plants in India and six overseas.
Recently, Havells India was planning to enter into small home appliances business. From July this year, the company will start selling small home and kitchen appliances, hoping to profit from Rs 5,200 crore market currently dominated by Philips, Panasonic, Morphy Richards and Baja.
Havells India is a billion dollar organization and India’s one of the largest and fastest growing electrical and power distribution equipment manufacturer.
