The year that was
Order book and sales grow by 2% and 6% respectively– Longer gestation orders resulting in significant increase in
average execution cycle– “Zero dates” delayed in certain large value projects
Margins dropped to 10.1% from 11.7%– Change in project mix– Under utilization of resources and certain specialized
equipment– Pricing pressures

L&T well positioned to exploit these opportunities
48
Electricals
Price cuts seem to have abated– Margins could improve if competitive pressures ease
Two new products to be introduced– Both these products won award for “Good Design” in the recent
Elecrama Exhibition
Ongoing cost cutting measures
49
Cement
Continued strong demand growth of 8-10%– Low interest rates would encourage investments in housing– Investments in roads and other infrastructure projects
Capacity addition slowing down– No major greenfield/brownfield capacity planned– Most upgradation efforts completed– Blended cement potential exists in the West
East is at saturation level and South is nearing saturation
Demand growth would help price stability
Continue cost saving measures to improve margins– Further savings expected in distribution costs– Continue with optimisation of operating costs
