Strategic Direction

· Videocon Industries Limited (VIL) manufactures and markets consumer electronics products and home appliances, as well as manufacturing components and exploring for oil and gas. Within consumer electronics, it has a range of brands that make it one of the largest NBOs in India. Videocon competes in analogue and digital TVs, home cinema and hi-fi systems, and DVD and portable media players.

· The Videocon Group has global ambitions, acquiring companies abroad. At the same time, diversification is high on its agenda, with forays into steel production and telecoms on the cards.

· In July 2006, Videocon Industries Ltd was given the go-ahead to merge EKL Appliances (the erstwhile Electrolux Kelvinator Ltd) into the parent company. Net sales for the year ended September 2007 were expected to grow by 17% over their 2006 level, although profitability was under threat.

· VIL is looking to rationalise its costs and improve its profitability, in order to remain competitive in the Indian market. The company is looking to improve its productive efficiency by introducing better control processes and managing its inventories better towards this end.

· VIL will reduce its dependence upon the consumer electronics and home appliance business, and thereby insulate the company from the ups and downs of a competitive market in which imports are hurting profitability. It is likely to remain a large business group in India, but its position in consumer electronics may weaken in the future.
