Ratio Analysis of Vijai Electricals Ltd MBA Project

Transformers are classified into broad categories and classification according to Rating,  Core, Cooling, Voltage class. For our understanding, we consider only two types of transformers.

1)    Step-up Transformer and
2)    Step-down Transformer

Step-up Transformer: If the secondary voltage is more than the primary voltage, it is called step-up Transformer.
Step-down Transformer: If the secondary voltage is less than the primary voltage, it is called step-down transformer.
Transformers are among the most efficient machines 95% efficiency being common in lower capacity ranges, while an efficiency of the order of 99%is achievable in high capacity; transport constraints, handling facilities, etc. being the limiting factors. The lower limit is governed by the allowable no-load loss.

SUMMARY

Transformer industry has been in existence in India for the past  one century. The public sector gaint BHEL used has been a leading player in the industry in post independence era. Since 1970s the private sector industries have made great strides and made their presence felt.

VEL since establishment in the year 1973 has made leaps and bounds and today has grown into one of the most sophisticated and quality conscious companies in the field of transformer manufacturing in India as well as Asia. Today it has well integrated facilities for the manufacture of transformers from 5kva rating to 10000 MVA. The company’s enviable achievement in terms of sales, profitability and market is due to its steadfast commitment to quality even during tough times. The company has fully integrated facilities due to the backward integration projects undertaken by the company during the last one decade.

Due to the integration projects the company  could cut down on costs  without compromising on quality. The Gross Profit margin of nearly 25%  is one of the visible parameters of this achievement.

FINDINGS

1.    The performance of the company has been very good since the past three years. It
has turned the corner from being a loss making unit for three years to a highly profit making concern.

2.    The Current Ratio of the company is very high due to high receivables and inventory, which is due to the nature of business. The Quick ratio is well above the 1:1 level due to high receivables.
