• € 50 million revenue target for Havells Sylvania

• Targets Rs.100 crores revenue from Domestic
Market

New Delhi, 21st December, 2009: Havells India Limited, a leading player
in the Lighting & Fixture segment, electrical and power equipment sector in
India is entering the Light-emitting-Diodes (LED) Market.

Havells Sylvania (Global Operations) has set a target of € 50 million

turnover from LED segment in next two years while Havells India would
target a revenue of Rs.100 crores by 2012 from the domestic market. The
Company has set-up a lighting R&D centre at its existing plant at
Neemrana, Rajasthan for the purpose. The LED product range of company
called Endura would include spotlights, downlights, commercial Lights and
street Lights

Mr. Anil Gupta, Joint Managing Director, Havells India Ltd., said, “
This LED thrust is an endeavor towards expanding our range of energy
savings products both in India and globally. While the LED lighting segment
is at a very nascent stage in India, we see ourselves leading the growth of
this highly potential segment of the lighting industry.” He further added
that the government’s focus on the complete electrification of the
households by 2012 would be a big trigger for the lighting industry in India.

LED Lightings consume 80 percent less energy than traditional

sources and is four times more energy efficient than regular
incandescent lamps. The longer lifetime and environment friendliness (as
it does not contain Mercury) makes LED a better choice over the traditional
lamps. LEDs are ideal for use in applications that are subject to frequent on‐
off cycling. The solid package of LED can be designed to focus its light while
incandescent and Fluorescent sources require external reflector for the
same.

The company is committed to developing energy savings devices

which at present include CFL’s, Lighting, Fans, Motors, Capacitors, Cables
and Digital Lighting Control Systems. Havells intends to have 80% of its
turnover from the energy savings products by 2012

In continuation of its drive towards developing energy efficient products,

Havells has put a Lighting Design Centre & Energy Management Cell at
Noida. The centre would advise as to how a unit can reduce its energy bill
without cutting down on light required.

The company had earlier consolidated its global CFL manufacturing

capacities at Neemrana plant and made it the global CFL hub.
