Optical fiber and optical fiber cable volumes were at 4.5m fkm and 1.8m fkm down 7% and 23% as
compared to the previous quarter. The decline this quarter was primarily on account of lower offtake in
the first quarter for telcos and Government projects in the country. On a y-o-y basis, optical fiber
volumes increased by 15%, while optical fiber cable sales were flat.
Previously announced optical fiber cable capacity expansion from 8m fkm to 15m fkm continues to
progress well and we expect to complete the expansion during Q4 FY16.
Conductor volumes returned to a more normalized range and were at 30,347MT an increase of 11%

Playing an integral role in Govt. of Indias Digital India initiative with products,
network installation and managed services capabilities
Overall revenue growth of 73% and EBITDA growth of 67% on a YoY basis
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
Pune, India July 23, 2015: Sterlite Technologies Limited Sterlite [BSE: 532374, NSE:STRTECH], a leading
global provider of solutions for the high-speed data transmission and power transmission networks, today
announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015
Industry & Business Highlights
Sterlite Technologies is integrated with Government of Indias Digital India vision of enabling digital
infrastructure as a utility to every citizen. Sterlite today has become a preferred partner to deliver high
speed data based end to end networks with a comprehensive suite of products, network design,
installation and managed services.
Sterlite is building an intrusion proof communication network for the Indian Army in Jammu & Kashmir
under the NFS Project and is deploying highly specialized optical fiber and cable for this network
creation. The NFS installation has witness an increased pace of deployment over the last quarter. Sterlite
has also pioneered last mile connectivity in dense urban centers by connecting more than 160,000
homes in 6 cities with FTTH network capable of handling upto 100 Mbps of speed.
Optical fiber remains as the most viable medium for high speed data communication and even wireless
access will need to have fiber based backhaul networks. While countries like China have installed about
900 Million Kms, US with around 500 million Kms of fiber to enable the data transmission, India today
has only 80 Million Kms. We expect that there will be a large demand of optical fiber over the next
decade in Indias effort towards matching global standards of communication. Keeping these trends in
mind, over the last few years, we have invested in plant capacities. The fiber capacity has been
increased to 20 million km per annum from 12 million. The optical fiber cables capacity is being
doubled to 15 million km per annum with an investment of Rs. 150 Crores in the current fiscal. We
expect to complete this capacity expansion by Q4 of this financial year
The optical fiber and cable infrastructure within the country is growing to keep pace with the demand
while challenges, among them, robust installation continues to be problem areas for service providers.
Sterlite has been focusing on the telecommunications needs of the country and has been investing
in further building research capabilities in products, design & engineering at the state of the art
Center of Excellence. The newly developed "Yogaflex" micromodule cable family and "OH-LITE
NOVA" optical fiber offer superior mechanical flexibility, ease of installation and resistance to extreme
situations of turns, bends and stresses during installation. These innovative designs will play an
important role in the long-distance, metropolitan as well as the upcoming Fiber to the Home markets in
concurrence with the needs of the country
Power industry witnessing revival with increased focus on national projects such as 24x7 Power for All
and thrust on renewable power generation will need T&D capacity to increase manifold. Sterlite Power
business has built unique capabilities that are built on a combination of high specification products
and strong engineering and project management capabilities
Power business has successfully executed two challenging re-conductoring projects in urban areas, in
a very compressed time frame and across congested residential colonies. The business continues to
witness very good demand for such integrated offerings from utility providers.
Revenues for Q1 FY16 were Rs 975 crore, higher by 73% compared to Revenues of Rs 564 crore in the
same quarter last year nearly 25% of the revenues were from export markets
EBITDA grew by 67% from Rs. 71 crore in Q1FY15 to Rs. 119 crore in the current quarter.
PAT was higher by 122% from Rs. 9 crore in Q1 last year to Rs. 20 crore in Q1FY16
The total order book as of 30th June was at Rs 4,205 crores with the Telecom order book at Rs 2,087
crores and Power at 2,118 crores. Nearly 80% of the order book is domestic focused reflecting the
underlying growth on account of the communication and power infrastructure being built out in India.
In May, 2015 the Company announced that it would demerge its power businesses into a separate
undertaking. The Demerger proceedings are underway and expected to close in Q4 2016 subject to
approvals by the High Court, SEBI, shareholders and creditors of STL and other relevant regulatory
authorities.
Revenues from the Telecom products and solutions business for the quarter were Rs. 424 Crores with
EBITDA of Rs 101 Crores.
Optical Fibre (OF) Volumes were 4.5 million fiber Kilometers while volumes of Optical Fibre Cables (OFC)
were 1.8 million fiber Kilometers with the fibre-to-cabling mix at 40% during the quarter.
Revenues from the Power products & solutions business revenue were Rs. 537 Crores for Q1 FY16, with
EBITDA of Rs. 18 Crores.
Volumes for the conductors for the quarter were 30,347MT compared to 8,794 MT for Q1 FY15.
Revenues for the power transmission business were Rs.88 Cr for Q1 FY16, with EBITDA of 82 Cr. The
increase is on account of progressive commissioning of elements in the BDTCL and JTCL projects.
Post the end of the quarter, the Company has been awarded the Maheshwaram project in Telangana, a
765KV line that is expected to generate Rs55 crores of levelised tariff.
Commenting on the results, Pravin Agarwal, Vice Chairman, Sterlite Technologies Ltd., said, We had a strong
quarter of topline and bottom line growth across our telecom and power verticals during a transformational
time in our business. The telecom business continues to witness strong traction on the back of scaling up of
connectivity infrastructure both domestically and overseas. The quality of growth is heartening given the profile
of customers who appreciate the integrated business model as well as the evolving and pioneering product
portfolio. We are confident of scaling greater heights as the data opportunity unfolds further across the country
and the region. And through it all, we shall continue to remain focused on building sustainable value for all
stakeholders.
