under review.
GENERAL & CORPORATE MATTERS

Your Company's performance during the year under review has improved substantially, particularly the operating performance has recorded

significant improvement during the year compared to the previous year.


The gross total income for the year registered an impressive growth at Rs.160.76 Crores compared to Rs.115.70 Crores in previous year led
by volume growth in both Jelly Filled Telephone Cables (JFTC) and Optical Fibre Cables (OFC). The Company achieved significant
improvement in its sale of JFTC to private operators for rollout of their wireline networks. The OFC volume improved due to increased demand
from both BSNL and private operators mainly for their broadband requirements.
The outlook for JFTC would depend much on the order flow from BSNL/MTNL and wireline rollout plans of the private operators.
However, due to poor demand scenario, and existence of huge idle capacities for JFTC, operating margins for JFTC are likely to remain under
pressure. The profit and operating margins for OFC are expected to be stable during the current year on likely improved scenario for the OFC
business.
Your Company is taking steps to add further products in its portfolio with an eye on future like Ribbon Fibre Cable and Fibre-To-The-Home
(FTTH) network equipments. The Company is jointly participating with world renowned Fujikura Ltd. for the Expression of Interest floated by
MTNL/BSNL for FTTH Access Network Technology. The Company is gearing up its facilities in order to achieve the desired results in terms
of product quality and productivity.

Management Discussion
and Analysis
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Company is in the business of manufacture and sale of telecom cables comprising of Jelly Filled Telephone Cables (JFTC), Optical Fibre
Cables (OFC) including Fibre Ribbon.
JFTC made its foray as a substitute for the dry core paper cables. The capacities were built up since the mid-nineties leading to installed
capacity of approx. 1650 Lac Conductor Kilometers (LCKM) with around 1000-1100 LCKM being operational today. However, as a result of
the increasing preference for deployment of wireless networks and popularity of mobile services, the JFTC industry has shrunk at 120 LCKM
per annum level resulting in abysmally low capacity utilisation by nearly 40 companies that manufacture JFTC.
OFC has increasingly enabled the deployment of large backbone networks across the country in view of its higher capacity to transmit voice
and data. The preference of deploying OFC in intercity and subscriber access networks has also enabled the OFC sector to grow in India.
There are nearly 20 OFC manufacturers having an installed capacity of around 7 million fibre kilometers (FKMs) with current size of the
domestic market being estimated at approx. 2.25 million FKM p.a.
PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS & BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Jelly Filled Telephone Cables


The Company achieved a sales volume of 19.70 LCKM of JFTC compared to 15.19 LCKM in the previous year reflecting an increase of
almost 30%. The turnover value reached Rs.12137.98 lacs compared to Rs.8660.87 lacs in the previous year amid continuously spiralling
copper prices. The improvement in turnover was primarily due to the supply of JFTC to BSNL against the annual tender floated in previous
year and increased demand from private operators.
The demand for JFTC is expected to be driven mainly by new wireline connections, regular replacement of old copper cables and replacement
of old wirelines to make them broadband enabled, and some quantum of exports. The overall outlook for JFTC appears uncertain for the
current year depending upon the order flow from BSNL/MTNL and the wireline rollout plans of the private operators. Even after the reported
restructuring of JFTC plants by certain JFTC manufacturers, the idle capacities are huge. The export market also does not have significant
upside potential. Given the poor demand scenario and the existence of large idle capacities, the Company is making all out efforts for
increasing operational efficiency, cost control and development of newer market.
Optical Fibre Cables
The OFC turnover of 5769 KM valued at Rs.2537.26 lacs during the year represented a significant increase over the previous year turnover
of 4809 KM valued at Rs.1153.64 lacs. The total turnover in terms of fibre kilometer during the year reached at 221258 fkm (including the
Fibre Ribbon) compared to 71640 fkm during the previous year.
The demand for OFC in current year is expected to grow mainly driven by the rollout of broadband networks, interconnection of mobile
networks using OFC, and laying of national long distance networks. In the backdrop of significant over capacity, the OFC prices are expected
to be stable.
The increased off take of OFC is also fuelled by the growing demand from private operators for their national long distance services. With
the increase in telecom traffic, the mobile networks would require increased OFC to inter connect. There is an increasing adoption of fibrebased networks by the cable TV operators to offer Ethernet Local area network and also by the large government owned utilities and the
infrastructure providers. The rollout of Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) Networks expected to begin in current year could provide another fillip to
the OFC demand.
Subsequent to the abolition of customs duty on OFC last year, the domestic OFC prices have become competitive with the imports.
However, due to insignificant market share of India in the world OFC trade and the improvement in global demand of OFC, the threat from
imports does not appear significant.
The Company had to discontinue the sale of Ericsson make Fusion Splicer Equipments during the year owing to discontinuation of the
particular model by Ericsson, which had contributed significantly to the profitability in previous year. The Company has successfully added
Fibre Ribbon in its product portfolio strengthening its competitive edge by achieving a turnover of 2293 KM valued at Rs.138.87 lacs in the
first full year of operations. The Company is taking steps to add further products in its portfolio both with a view to integrate its operations
and also to better its capacity utilization including tie-up with Fujikura Ltd. to collaborate in the Expression of Interest for FTTH Access Network
Technology floated by MTNL/BSNL.
Overall Review
The year 2005-06 has been a come back year of sorts for the telephone cable industry after a gap of 4 years. Plagued by huge capacities,
the industry witnessed revival of demand. The decline in domestic as well as international bandwidth prices is driving subscriber growth, which
is expected to encourage enhanced capital outlay for access network expansion. The growing triple play demand from Broadband subscribers
for telephony, internet access and broadcast television has endured the scope of fixed line telephony. However the Broadband connections
at a level of 13.10 lacs as at 31st March, 2006 are way below the target set by the Government leaving a huge demand gap to fill. The
teledensity has steadfastly reached at 12.73 at the end of March, 2006, but which has still higher potential in view of the huge untapped rural
market in the country. Coupled with one of the lowest tariffs in the Country, ONE INDIA Plan becoming a reality still holds out scope for the
industry. However, price levels are expected to be range bound in view of the large idle capacities in the telephone cable industry.

VINDHYATELELINKS LIMITED
FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Gross turnover increased by almost 47% to Rs.15381.66 lacs in 2005-06 compared to Rs.10449.61 lacs in the previous year mainly
due to increase in turnover of JFTC to private operators coupled with copper led higher prices and of OFC to BSNL as well as private
operators.

The aggregate other income decreased to Rs.694.01 lacs during the year 2005-06 as against Rs.1120.08 lacs in the previous year mainly
because of lower one time credit of Rs.99 89 lacs in 2005-06 compared to the credit of Rs.332.77 lacs during the previous year resulting
from prepayment of certain deferred sales tax loans/liabilities and also due to lower interest income compared to the previous year
consequent to deployment of funds for the working capital requirements.

The Company achieved a gross profit before depreciation at Rs.606.51 lacs during the year as against the gross profit of Rs.440.41 lacs
in the previous year even after significant reduction in other income during the year as enumerated above. The sale of Fusion Splicer
Equipments was discontinued due to discontinuation of particular model by Ericsson during the year which had contributed significantly
to the profitability in the previous year. This signifies better operating performance due to increased business volumes and better price
realisations during the current year

The financial expenses increased due to availment of foreign currency loan (Buyer's credit and FCNRB loan) in the current year and
higher bank charges on account of increased imports of raw materials during the year.

The additions to the fixed assets of Rs.202.70 lacs (including Rs.56.81 lacs capital work in progress) during the year mainly consist of
capital expenditure incurred for modernisation and upgradation, installation of balancing equipments and new testing facilities and certain
additions to the furniture and office equipments/vehicles.

The inventory value increased to Rs.2309.64 lacs as on 31st March, 2006 from Rs.1745.30 lacs as at the end of the previous year due
to increase in raw material inventory and higher work in progress. On the expectations of duty cut on raw materials in the Finance
Budget, 2005, the Company had maintained lower levels of inventory as at 31st March, 2005.

The Debtors level at Rs.3057.26 lacs as at 31st March, 2006 as compared to Rs.1570.61 lacs as at 31st March, 2005 has increased

substantially in view of comparatively higher sales during last quarter of the financial year.
RISKS AND CONCERNS

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks. Some risks are general to our industry while others are specific. Over time, the Company
has countered the risks with relevant, appropriate and commensurate management. Some of the major risks to which the Company is
exposed and the Company's policy to reduce the adverse impacts of the same are:
Technological Risk:
Across the world, Foam skin insulated cable are steadily replacing Solid Polyethylene (PE) insulated cables. While being cost effective, the
foam skin cable retains all its technical characteristics and, as such has become acceptable in many countries all over the world. Although
the major buyers of JFTC in India currently purchase solid PE insulated cable but with its inherent technical and economic advantages, foam
skin cable may be a product of the future. The Company has sufficient capacity of foam skin cable and has also executed orders for such
cable.
Foreign Exchange Exposure Risk:
The Company is exposed to transactions in foreign currency due to imports. As a matter of prudent foreign exchange management, all foreign
currency exposures are closely monitored for risk in exchange rate fluctuations and forward covers are taken, where deemed appropriate.
Regulatory Risk:
Telecommunication is a regulated industry and regulatory changes affect both our customers and us. However, the Government's ambitious
targets for telecommunication expansion should see favourable regulatory environment in India. The Company has reduced costs and
improved efficiency and has thus established better flexibility to cost effectively accommodate fluctuations in demand.
Litigation Risk:
We are party to various Law Suits in the normal course of our business. We, however, do not expect any significant liability arising against
the Company as legally advised. The Company has been addressing the litigations on the legal advise of experts.
Customer Concentration Risk:
The customer base in telecommunication cable industry is relatively concentrated. The Company's major customer over the years has been
BSNL. The Company has, however, been able to retain and expand customers in Private Sector.
Competition Risk:
As a result of low capacity utilisation in the industry, the company faces stiff competition from other players in the industry. The Company,
has over the years established its name in the market because of its quality product and customer support.
Raw Material Price Fluctuation Risk:

The prices of certain raw materials based on metals and polyethylene fluctuate according to the international trends in supply and demand.
In order to minimise the impact of risks on account of such price volatility, an effective research based purchase policy has been put in place.

*As the Parent Company has written off the entire value of investments in the said Joint Venture since the Joint Venture has
wound up the operations during the year, the accounts of said Joint Venture has not been consolidated.
(v) The Parent Company has a joint venture (with other joint venture partners) in a company called "Optic Fibre Goa Ltd" (OFGL)
The latter Company is also subsidiary of the Company since the Parent Company holds 55% of the share capital in the said
company. The Board of Directors of OFGL in its meeting held on 18th April, 2006 has decided to merge the Company with one
of its promoter company w.e.f. April 1, 2005 and has initiated the process of getting requisite approvals. However, in view of
long term and strategic investment in the aforesaid subsidiary, the control has not been considered temporary in nature in the
said company and the same has been consolidated as subsidiary.
(vi) The Parent Company by itself or alongwith its three subsidiaries hold more than 20% of the voting power of two other
companies. In the opinion of the management, the Parent Company does not have any "Significant Influence" in the said two
companies as defined in Accounting Standards '18' "Related Party Disclosures" and '23' "Accounting for investments in
associates in Consolidated Financial Statement". The Parent Company has also sought legal opinion regarding this and
therefore, has not considered the above investees as a "Related Party" under AS 18 and not consolidated the accounts of the
