Electrical machinery production falls 2.7 per cent

DR. M.S. KAPADIA ,  Friday, March 30, 2012, 11:29 Hrs  [IST]

As many as 27 out of 48 major electrical machinery items recorded year-over-year decline in production during the first three quarters of FY12, whilst around 21 recorded increase according to DIPP compilation for Index of Industrial Production (2004-05 base year). Overall, the composite production index of electrical machinery industry declined by 2.7per cent during the period, against 4.3 per cent in H1. The combined price realization in electrical machinery as measured by wholesale price index was around 2.8 per cent higher in January 2012, against 4 per cent over H1.

Air break switches/circuit breakers recorded 26 per cent increase during April-December 2012, over a similar rate in the corresponding period of 2010-11. Production index of gear boxes also speeded from 51 per cent to 59 per cent. Boilers (21 per cent), air & gas compressors (11 per cent), electric motor (excluding phase I) (16 per cent), air conditioners (packaged) (28 per cent), XLPE cables (15 per cent), I.C.Chips & transistors (15 per cent), heat exchangers (19 per cent), and mercury vapour lamps (17 per cent) also were among the products recording double digit growth during April-December. Furnaces and UPS/Inverter/Converter sank further in April- December, whereas DC motors (-59 per cent), aluminium conductor (-44 per cent), batter chargers (-53 per cent) and colour picture tubes (-47 per cent) declined steep decline during the period.
