This SBU is engaged in the business of EPABX, Telephone Instruments and
Telecommunication-Switching, Transmission and Access products. During the year,
the priority on legacy products and dependence on BSNL and MTNL as prime
customers, has been reduced with additional thrust on other customers such as
Railways, Indian Oil, Corporate System Integrators and Valued Added Service
Providers. The sales for the year were approximately 50 per cent from new markets
and new customers. Despite these efforts, the primary concern for this SBU remains
the category of market demand, which is steadily moving upwards towards mobile
communication. This SBU has de-grown by approximately 50 per cent as compared
with last year.
