VOLTAS CATCHES MARKET ATTENTION
Article Abstract:
The scrip of Voltas Ltd, manufacturer of air-conditioners and other products, has soared by 550 percent in the past 11 months due to an increase in its market capitalisation, the restructuring plans and the performance. The air-conditioning division recorded a sales growth of 30 percent - more than the industry average in the room air-conditioners market. Voltas Ltd holds 25 percent share in this market. It has also performed well in the industrial segment by securing the single largest air-conditioning order in a different product category. Reliance Industries Ltd has awarded a 1,350 tonnes package unit order to Voltas Ltd. While IPCL has placed an order for 8,000 tonnes capacity vapour absorption machines with Voltas Ltd, the Information Technology Park of Bangalore has placed an order for screw chillers of 4,500 tonnes capacity. Voltas Ltd will also be supplying a centrifugal chiller of 4,000 tonnes capacity to the Parliament library. The profitability of Voltas Ltd is likely to increase after its restructuring programme as it will net funds through the sale of the white goods division to Electrolux. (ag/kvr)
