Global/Indian Economy and Major Economic Indicators:
The global recovery rate from the last years down has slowed down during the end of this financial year. The
highest growth rate is of China, around 10% followed by India with a growth rate of 8.5%. The Indian
economy, which had exhibited a sharp recovery in the second half of 2009-10, witnessed further
consolidation of growth in the first quarter of 2010-11. With a normal monsoon, lead data on the kharif
sowing and production estimates suggest an above trend rate of growth in the agriculture sector in
2010-11. Industrial growth remains robust, although, with greater volatility. Going forward, while the
growth rates in the services sector and agriculture are likely to remain elevated, sustainability of the
recent buoyancy in the industrial sector would require alleviation of supply constraints, particularly in
the infrastructure sector and sustained momentum in private demand.
Details of important economic indicators are as under:
GDP Growth Rate: Real GDP growth was placed at 8.8 per cent during the first quarter of 2010-11,
which is the highest quarterly growth recorded so far since the third quarter of 2007-08. The estimated
growth rate the current FY is 8.5% while for the next FY is 9%.
Growth rate of Agriculture: Agriculture and allied activities witnessed a strong pick-up over the
previous four quarters, led by higher growth in allied activities. The estimated growth rate in agriculture
during the current FY is 4.6% while for the next FY is 3.2%.
Growth Rate of Service Sector: The services sector growth recorded further acceleration in Q1
2010-11 relative to both the previous quarter and the corresponding quarter of last year. Growth in the
„trade, hotels, restaurants, transport, storage and communication‟ segment has been robust in recent
quarters. The estimated growth rate in services during the current FY is 9.2% while for the next FY is
9.5%.
Index of Industrial Production: Growth in industrial output has exhibited volatility in the recent
period, notwithstanding double-digit growth during October 2009 to July 2010 (except June 2010). IIP
recorded a lower growth of 5.6 per cent in August 2010 compared with 10.6 per cent in August 2009,
mainly on account of negative growth in capital goods and consumer nondurables. The estimated growth
rate in IIP during the current FY is 9% while for the next FY is 9.1%.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure sector comprising six core industries (accounting for 26.6 per cent of
the total weight in IIP) recorded a growth of 4.0 per cent during April- September 2010-11, which
represents some moderation as compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year (4.5 per
cent). The growth in the infrastructure sector during the period was led by crude oil, petroleum refinery
and finished steel, while there was lower growth in cement, electricity and coal production as compared
to April-September 2009-10.
Growth rate of Imports and Exports:
Exports: India‟s exports, which exhibited a robust recovery in the last quarter of 2009-10, continued to
record high growth during the current financial year.
Imports: Reflecting the demand associated with robust domestic growth, imports increased at a higher
pace, though with some volatility during the year so far. Oil imports registered a growth of 54.8 per cent
during the first quarter of 2010-11.
 Exchange Rates against currencies of major trading partners: The real effective exchange rate
(REER) index for 6-currency had exhibited significant appreciation in 2009-10. During 2010-11 so far
(April-October 22, 2010), the 6-currency REER has recorded higher appreciation as compared with
36-currency REER. The 36-currency REER covers around 90 per cent of India‟s foreign trade.
Inflation Indices:
Wholesale Price Inflation: WPI inflation increased at a faster pace since November 2009 to reach 11.0
per cent (year-on-year) by April 2010 and remained elevated in the first quarter of 2010-11. Consumer
Price Inflation: Inflation, as measured by various consumer price indices, continued to moderate in
2010-11 so far. Available measures of inflation, as measured by various CPIs indicate that it remained in
the range of 9.1-9.8 per cent in September 2010. The divergence between WPI and CPI inflation also
reduced in recent months.
Future Outlook:
Power Sector: Power Sector is witnessing a lot of vibrancy and action on all fronts providing offering growth
opportunities for all stakeholders.An accelerated growth of power sector is imperative for overall growth and
development of Indian economy
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
➢ Good corporate image
➢ Complete range of products for transmission and distribution
➢ Established Brand Name.
 Considered to be having design ability.
Weakness
➢ The procurement process in the company is cumbersome and subject to auditing
➢ Low exposure to the needs and dynamics of distribution business
➢ Role clarity on the requirement of being an equipment supplier or a solution provider
➢ Acceptance of customers to execute low value high volumes jobs
Opportunities
➢ Huge investment leading to greater demand of goods and services
➢ Demand leading to industry operating at full and over capacity
➢ Better price realizations
➢ Early birds to learn faster and achieve repeat orders
➢ Formation of business groups and tie ups for joint bidding
➢ Healthier working environment and increased private sector participation in operation of
distribution circles also.

Threats:
➢ Purchased preference maybe extended to distribution sector
➢ Increased in number of small contractors leading to price wars
➢ Emergence of new players in the market.
➢ Political pulls and pressures may jeopardize the hole process, raising alarm about the
privatization and being anti-people.

Looking Beyond the Numbers:

When we are scrutinizing the Auditor‟s report, Notes to account, significant accounting policies and
various schedules and annexures to look beyond the numbers, we need to analyze that to what extent the
company‟s revenues are tied to one product and one customer, what percentage of company‟s business is
generated from overseas, its competition, future prospects and legal and regulatory environment.
From company‟s primary business segments, we can find that the major part of the total revenue is
obtained by the power sector of the company. Around 78.54%of the total revenue is generated from the
power sector. As it can be seen that the major portion of the revenues is generated from power sector, the
major customers for the company is basically the power generating companies. They manufacture
products and systems for thermal, nuclear, gas and hydro-based utility and captive power plants.
Now, if we look at the revenues generated by the industry sector, we will find a part of the total revenue
generated by the industry sector is through inter segment. It means that the variety of electrical,
electronic and mechanical equipments manufactured by the industry segment is also utilized by the
various other segments of the company. But of course, the percent of this inter segment revenue is very
small as compared to the total revenue generated by the company.
From company‟s secondary geographical segments, we can see that a portion of the total revenue
generated is generated overseas. Around 4.92% of total revenue is generated overseas. Although the
revenues within India has increased by 23.77%, the revenues from outside India decreased by 7.48%
from last year.
In India, although the energy demand is growing at a rate more than 7%, there is a vast demand supply
gap. This gap provides not only market for future but also great competitive environment. Company is
 also taking all necessary initiatives to quickly capture emerging growth opportunities in nuclear power,
transmission, transportation and renewable energy as these are expected to be the growth engines in the
future.
To expand international footprint, BHEL would be consolidating its presence in existing international
markets and also tapping opportunities in new markets. Focus would be on EPC opportunities,
augmentation of EPC capabilities and gearing-up the organization accordingly.
It is also planning to further increase investments in R&D efforts and strengthen engineering and
technology character of the organization.

9. From the point of view of investor:

Market ratios:
With EPS increasing from Rs. 68 to Rs. 88 in 5 years with a dip in 2008 (because of an increase in common
shares outstanding) because of the rise in net income and marginal increase in dividend payout is attractive to
investors. However, decrease in cash flow per share is a deterrent with an uneven cash flow over the 5 years.

From the point of view of short trem lenders:

Liquidity ratios:
Almost 44% of the assets are tied up in debtors. Also, deposits from contractors and advances from customers
amount to almost 44% of the liabilities of the firm. Though the firm has a 33% of reserves and surplus, its
liquidity is tight which is evident from its quick ratio (0.62) and cash flow from operations ratio (0.05%). Its
large debtors is also evident from its average no of days recievables outstanding standing at 186.85 in 2010.
Also, because of the large amounts from contractors and customers in the form of advances, its payment period
is 145 days. Both of these figures have increased over the last years. This is severe deterant to short term
lenders. To add to it, its cash flow from operations ratio stands at 0.05% which has also dipped since 2006.
