BS Transcomm Ltd, a power and telecom transmission infrastructure turnkey solutions provider, is set to double installed capacity of 1,20,000 million tonnes per annum by September 2011.

The company had increased the capacity from 36,000 MTPA of tower manufacturing to 1,20,000 MTPA in 2010 along with a backward integration project to manufacture structural steel mill with capacity of 90,000 MTPA to meet material requirements.

“The manufacturing base, which entails an outlay of Rs 100 crore, is currently underway. The site works are in progress, machinery has been ordered. We expect to commission the expansion project by September, which will help us scale up and play a bigger role in the power and telecom infrastructure,” Mr Rajesh Agarwal, Managing Director of BS Transcomm, said.

Mr Agarwal told Business Line, “The company has an order book of over Rs 600 crore as on December 2010 which has to be implemented within one year. We have closed last year with revenues of Rs 522 crore and have logged Rs 600 crore in the first nine months and hope to close the current fiscal with revenues close to Rs 800 crore.”

The EPC business provides scope to further expand during the year, he said.

The company had earlier this year bagged a BOOM (build, own, operate and manage) project for the Sholapur to Raichur stretch of power lines to evacuate power from the Krishnapatnam ultra mega power project. This Rs 300-crore project was bagged through a consortium.

“A capacity of about 1,00,000 MTPA helps generate revenues of about Rs 500 crore. We expect the expanded capacity to help us scale up to revenues of Rs 1,300 crore,” he explained. “We have enough funds for immediate requirements. If we take up further expansion, including a transformer manufacturing facility, we will consider additional funds,” he said.
