Electrical machinery declines 10 pc in FY12

Dr. M.S. KAPADIA ,  Monday, June 25, 2012, 11:54 Hrs  [IST]

The composite production index of electrical machinery declined 10.5 per cent during FY12, against a 27 per cent increase in FY11 and 14 per cent in FY10. The rot in the industry comes out starker when the drop is juxtaposed against 7 per cent increase during FY09 when the world and Indian economy had gone under due to financial and economic crisis. Among 48 major electrical machineries whose production is monitored by DIPP, as many as 28 recorded year-onyear declines during FY12, against 6 in the previous year and 26 during FY09. The combined price realization of electrical machinery as measured by wholesale price index was around 3 per cent higher over the fiscal, against stagnation in FY11 and nominal erosion two years back.

Among the 28 electrical machineries showing decline during the fiscal, H.T. insulators and transformers (PDT & special types) both showed 12 per cent drop in production, against 12 per cent and 8 per cent increase, respectively during FY11. Transformers (Small) showed 65 per cent drop, against threefold rise in FY11. Production index of room air conditioners showed 30 per cent decline, but the feat was over 61- 64 per cent increase in the preceding two years. Rubber insulated cable dropped 38 per cent, against stagnation in FY11 and 29 per cent reduction in FY10. Solar power system index declined 26 per cent, against 49 per cent shoot-up in FY11, preceded by 9 per cent erosion in FY10. The output index for the industry had escalated 40+ per cent in during FY08 and FY09. Relays, fuses and switchgears showed consistent decline over the 11th Plan period covering FY08 to FY12. Other electrical machineries with three or more years of decline during the Plan included furnace, lifts & elevators, DC motors, electric welding machines, transformers, colour picture tubes, printed circuit boards and stabilizers.

Electrical machineries recording 15 per cent or more increase during FY12 included boilers (20 per cent), which also was consistent good performer during the XI Plan. UPS/Inverter/Converter output was also up 20 per cent, over 26 per cent during FY11 and 18 per cent two years back. Its growth rate also, like turbines, power capacitors and washing machines remained in the positive zone over the plan period. Production index of cooling towers shot up 51 per cent, against 2 per cent rise in FY11 and 23 per cent drop in FY10. Earlier, cooling towers output index had increased 33 per cent in FY08 and 45 per cent in FY09. IC Chips & Transistors showed 17 per cent increase in FY12, over 43 per cent during FY11, but drops in earlier two years.

Among electrical machineries with three or more years of positive growth (including FY12) were air & gas compressors, air conditioners, electric motors phase one, air break switches & circuit breakers, aluminium conductors, electrical switchboard, rubber insulated cable, and XLPE cables.
