The capacity is expected to rise from 18 million fibre km (FKm) to 24 million Fkm in the first phase by the end of December. In the second phase, the company plans to move from 24 million Fkm to 33 million Fkm by March or April next year.
\"We have decided to remove the hold and pause. So the first phase going from 18-24 million fibre km may happen by end of December itself and then 24-33 million fibre km may take a little longer, may be March or April. But in a modular fashion, we will bring on the capacity as fast as possible,\" Agarwal told .
The expansion plans have been galvanised by demand recovery in company's major markets, reflected in its order book which increased to Rs 10,705 crore in July-September quarter.
The company is also enthused by the potential order funnel, Agarwal said, adding that the ongoing discussion with customers and new fibre build-outs planned in Europe strengthen the case for capacity augmentation.
\"The way most customers are moving forward is they are doing fibre-to-home, fibre to cell site and fibre to enterprise simultaneously,\" he said.
Moreover, the company has already hit 90 per cent of its capacity utilisation, making expansion imminent.
\"So we have decided to now remove the pause and hold on investment plans...we have decided to fast track that currently, so this investment to go from 18-33 million fibre km, we are initiating now. We are trying that between March and June of next year that capacity comes up fully, in a modular fashion,\" he said.
While STL had initially anticipated an investment of about Rs 300 crore for the expansion, it now believes that it may be able to complete it a lower cost.
\"We think we will be able to do it at slightly lower cost right now. We have re-engineered a lot of things...may be Rs 260 crore odd or so...All that work had been going on in the background, while we had paused this entire thing. A large part of this will get deployed over the next 6-7 months,\" Agarwal said.
With its portfolio spanning optical fibre and cables, network design and deployment as well as network software, Pune-based STL positions itself as an integrated solutions provider for global data<\/a> networks, with optical preform, fibre and cable manufacturing facilities in India, Italy, China and Brazil.
Asked how the company would undertake expansion across its different units, Agarwal said the modalities are still being worked out.
\"We will have to work it out. From what I understand, Europe will happen a bit earlier because we are seeing great deal of activity and we are fast tracking Europe earlier, and India will follow. It is just a matter of 2-3 months, so wherever we can do it faster...,\" he said.
STL posted over 63 per cent year-on-year decline in its consolidated net profit for the second quarter ended September 2020 at Rs 58.5 crore, hit by lower revenue and higher mix of services business.
However, profit and revenue in September quarter were substantially higher sequentially, and the company exuded confidence that the sequential growth logged would continue for the next two quarters as well.
The net profit was nine-fold higher than Rs 6 crore reported in April-June. Revenue also rose over 32 per cent from June quarter.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":78858856,"title":"Motorola aims to grow 'faster than industry' in India","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/motorola-aims-to-grow-faster-than-industry-in-india\/78858856","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"78858313","title":"data","entity_type":"IMAGES","seopath":"tech\/information-tech\/sterlite-tech-to-fast-track-capacity-augmentation-mulls-expansion-in-two-phases\/data","category_name":"Sterlite Tech to fast track capacity augmentation, mulls expansion in two phases","synopsis":"Representative image","thumb":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/thumb\/img-size-122974\/78858313.cms?width=150&height=112","link":"\/image\/tech\/information-tech\/sterlite-tech-to-fast-track-capacity-augmentation-mulls-expansion-in-two-phases\/data\/78858313"}],"seoschemas":false,"msid":78858879,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Sterlite Tech to fast track capacity augmentation, mulls expansion in two phases","synopsis":"Sterlite Technologies Ltd (STL) Group CEO Anand Agarwal said the company has decided to lift the \"pause and hold\" on expansion to move full throttle ahead.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/sterlite-tech-to-fast-track-capacity-augmentation-mulls-expansion-in-two-phases","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"analytics":{"comments":0,"views":1055,"shares":0,"engagementtimems":5270000},"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2020-10-25 18:08:52","lastupd":"2020-10-25 18:10:09","breadcrumbTags":["Sterlite Technologies","data network","Sterlite Tech","data","Industry","expansion","capacity"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/sterlite-tech-to-fast-track-capacity-augmentation-mulls-expansion-in-two-phases"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2020-10-25" data-index="article_1">

斯特里特锌白铜科技快速跟踪能力增强,考虑在两个阶段的扩张
斯特里特锌白铜科技有限公司(STL)集团首席执行长阿南德•阿加瓦尔表示,该公司已决定取消“暂停并持有”的扩张将满负荷运转。
数据网络解决方案提供商斯特里特锌白铜技术已经决定“快车道”的计划增加光纤电缆吗能力,受需求和订单漏斗,看起来承办扩张在两个阶段,可能降低成本,公司的一名高级官员说。斯特里特锌白铜科技有限公司(STL)集团首席执行长阿南德•阿加瓦尔表示,该公司已决定取消“暂停并持有”的扩张将满负荷运转。
产能预计将从1800万纤维公里(FKm)上升到2400万年第一阶段FKm 12月底。在第二阶段,该公司计划从3300万年2400万Fkm Fkm明年3月或4月。
“我们已经决定删除,暂停。所以第一阶段从18 - 24百万公里纤维会发生12月底本身,然后33百万公里纤维可能会花一点时间,可能3月或4月。但以模块化的方式,我们将尽可能快的能力,”阿加沃说。
需求复苏的扩张计划已经刺激了公司的主要市场,反映在它的订单在7 - 9月一季增加到10705卢比。
该公司还热情的潜在订单漏斗,阿格沃尔说,正在进行的讨论与客户和新的纤维扩建项目计划在欧洲加强的能力增强。
“大多数客户的前进方式是他们做fibre-to-home,纤维细胞网站和纤维企业同时,”他说。
此外,该公司已触及90%的产能利用率,使扩张迫在眉睫。
“现在我们决定删除停下来抓住投资计划……快速通道,目前我们已经决定,所以这项投资从纤维像18岁到33岁这样的百万公里,我们现在开始。我们正在努力,明年3月和6月之间能力完全出现,以模块化的方式,”他说。
虽然STL最初预期的投资约为300卢比的扩张,现在认为它可以完成一个较低的成本。
“我们认为我们能够做到现在以略低的成本。我们已经完成了很多事情……可能会奇怪260卢比左右……所有工作已经进行的背景下,虽然我们已经停顿了一下整个事情。很大一部分的将部署在未来6 - 7个月,”阿加沃说。
其投资组合生成光纤和电缆,网络设计和部署以及网络软件,浦STL职位本身作为全球综合解决方案提供商数据与光学网络,粗加工、纤维和电缆生产设备在印度、意大利、中国和巴西。
询问该公司将在其不同的单位进行扩张,阿格沃尔说,形式仍在制定当中。
“我们将不得不工作。据我所知,欧洲会发生早一点,因为我们看到大量的活动和快速跟踪欧洲之前,和印度将效仿。它只是一个2 - 3个月,所以无论我们可以更快…,”他说。
STL发布对其合并净利润同比下降63%的第二季度结束2020年9月在58.5卢比,受到较低的收入和更高的服务业务。
然而,在9月季度利润和收入更高的顺序,和该公司显得自信满满,顺序增长记录将继续在接下来的两个季度。
净利润是9倍高于6卢比在4 - 6月。从6月季度收入也上涨超过32%。
