The company’s decision to cut a third of its jobs at its Belgium operations augurs well. The shift in the manufacturing unit from high-cost Belgium to low-cost Hungary and Ireland in the European Union should support international margins, said BoA-ML in its latest report. This move benefits the company as hourly compensation rates in Hungary and Ireland are 84 percent and 30 percent lower than Belgium (see chart).

This is in line with the managements plan to relocate its operations to low cost countries and restructure its European operations in the next three years.

The company’s margins, which bottomed out during the March 2012 quarter, are also expected to improve during the financial year 2013/14 due to execution of improved quality of orders in international power backed by higher inflows from Americas and execution of EU wind offshore projects.

For the year ended March 2012, the company reported a 58 percent fall in net profit to Rs 367.6 crore on a 12.4 percent jump in net sales.
