Executive Summary Primary objective of this study is to understand business prospectus of Process Plant Equipment (includes heat exchangers & pressure vessels) division of Capital Goods Industry. HDOL is chosen based on its excellent capability to grow in such a competitive world and this business unit adds a steady stream of revenues to the business model through sustained demand from various industries like Water, Pulp and Paper, Fertilizers etc where HDOL is already present. This study shows that how to encash business opportunities by market research, appropriate product mix and new product developments. Developing niche products using the latest technology and supplying to new industry verticals is an integral part of growth strategy. HDOL is working towards gaining a strong foothold in catering to the Nuclear Energy, Oil & Gas and Power sectors. The Indian Capital Goods Industry has been witnessing a turnaround after a prolonged period of recession. Capital goods manufacturers have been experiencing excellent growth both in the top and bottom line. Their order books are in a very healthy state which indicates the beginnings of an investment cycle in India. This observation is also borne out by the upward trend seen in the BSE Capital Goods Index.
The
capital
goods
industry
needs to now strategize its future in order to maintain this momentum. The objectives of the study were to focus on the national as well as international competitiveness of these sectors in terms of benchmarking of costs, measuring cost effectiveness, productivity, marketing strategies, manpower development and R&D apart from looking at technology gaps and tariff protection required.
In today‟s scenario, just looking inward is no longer enough for survival. A presence in the export markets as a diversification strategy has become a must. The study has therefore looked at overseas business opportunities and tried to identify potential countries and projects. Competitive strategy involves positioning a business to maximize the value of the capabilities that distinguish it from its competitors. It follows that a central aspect of strategy formulation is perceptive competitor analysis. HDOL has adopted three prolonged approach in its quest to remain a top player in the global process plant equipment market. The initiatives centre on capacity augmentation, capability build up and enhancing the product portfolio through advanced technologies. This study reveals that the whole industry‟s growth will be increased due to investments in sectors like Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Power etc. and the companies are performing well due the fact of increased technological innovation and quality of the units. The stock price also got affected by the same making the Capital Goods sector favourable for the investors.

INTRODUCTION
1
1.1 Definition The term „strategy‟ is drawn from the armed forces. It is a strategic plan that interlocks all aspects of the corporate mission designed to overpower the enemy or the competitor. An appropriate strategy is considered to be essential to face adverse situations such as cut-throat competition. Strategy may imply general or specific programmes of action outlining how the resources are deployed to attain goals in a given set of conditions. If these conditions change, the strategy also changes. Strategies give direction for the achievement of objectives necessary through the deployment of resources. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as "the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives." Marketers use an assortment of strategies to guide how, when, and where product information is presented to consumers. Their goal is to persuade consumers to buy a particular brand or product. A marketing strategy is a plan or an approach for marketing your products and services. Successful marketing strategies create a desire for a product. A marketer, therefore, needs to understand consumer likes and dislikes. In addition, marketers must know what information will convince consumers to buy their product, and whom consumers perceive as a credible source of information. Some marketing strategies use fictional characters, celebrities, or experts (such as doctors) to sell products, while other strategies use specific statements or "health claims" that state the benefits of using a particular product or eating a particular food.
2
1.2 Purpose of Strategy A strategy is an operational tool to achieve the goals, and thus, the corporate mission. Strategies do not attempt to outline exactly how the enterprise is to accomplish its objectives. A company may view downsizing as a strategy in a competitive market to render cost-effective services. Thus, strategy provides a framework to guide thinking and action. Strategies are very much useful in organizations for guiding, planning and control. Strategy is a way of life both at the macro as well as micro levels for everyone, whether it is a nation or a company. To win over in a given complex situation, the organizations, even trans-nationals adopt strategies. They make changes, if necessary, even to their global strategies. An individual company may formulate its own strategy to bring out the desired results. The eventual success of the organization depends upon strategy formulation and implementation. The recently initiated moves such as globalization, privatization and liberalization are strategies to attain a globally competitive economy. Some marketing strategies are created for the purpose of capturing a certain segment of the market, but the majority of small business strategies are more generic in nature. Even so, it's important to understand what your strategy is trying to achieve.

1.3 FACTORS INFLUENCING MARKETING STRATEGY:
1.4 MARKETING STRATEGIES AND TARGET CUSTOMERS: The results of analyzing market segments lead the marketer to consider one of the following target marketing strategies.
Undifferentiated or Mass Marketing – Under this strategy the marketer attempts to appeal to one large market with a single marketing strategy. While this approach offers advantages in terms of lowering development and production costs, since only one product is marketed, there are few markets in which all customers seek the same benefits.
While this
approach was very popular in the early days of marketing (e.g., Ford Model-T), few companies now view this as a feasible strategy. 4
Differentiated or Segmentation Marketing – Marketers choosing this strategy try to appeal to multiple smaller markets with a unique marketing strategy for each market. bigger
markets
can
be
divided
The underlying concept is that
into
many
sub-markets
and
an
organization chooses different marketing strategies to reach each submarket it targets. Most large consumer products firms follow this strategy as they offer multiple products (e.g., running shoes, basketball shoes) within a larger product category (e.g., footwear).
Concentrated or Niche Marketing –This strategy combines mass and segmentation marketing by using a single marketing strategy to appeal to one or more very small markets.
It is primarily used by smaller
marketers who have identified small sub-segments of a larger segment that are not served well by larger firms that follow a segmentation marketing approach. In these situations a smaller company can do quite well marketing a single product to a narrowly defined target market.
Customized or Micro-Marketing - This newest target marketing strategy attempts to appeal to targeted customers with individualized marketing programs.
For
micro-marketing
segmentation
to
be
effective
the
marketer must, to some degree, allow customers to “build-their-own” products.
This approach requires extensive technical capability for
marketers to reach individual customers and allow customers to interact with the marketer. The Internet has been the catalyst for this target marketing strategy.
As more companies learn to utilize the Internet
micro-marketing is expected to flourish.
5
1.5 TYPES OF MARKETING STRATEGIES: Marketing strategies may differ depending on the unique situation of the individual business. However there are a number of ways of categorizing some generic strategies. A brief description of the most common categorizing schemes is presented below: Strategies based on market dominance - In this scheme, firms are classified based on their market share or dominance of an industry. Typically there are three types of market dominance strategies:
o
Leader
o
Challenger
o
Follower
Porter generic strategies - strategy on the dimensions of strategic scope and strategic strength. Strategic scope refers to the market penetration while strategic strength refers to the firm‟s sustainable competitive advantage. o
Product differentiation
o
Market segmentation
Innovation strategies - This deals with the firm's rate of the new product development and business model innovation. It asks whether the company is on the cutting edge of technology and business innovation. There are three types: Pioneers o
Close followers
o
Late followers
6
Growth strategies - In this scheme we ask the question, “How should the firm grow?” There are a number of different ways of answering that question, but the most common gives four answers: o
Horizontal integration
o
Vertical integration
o
Diversification
o
Intensification

14
3.2 Pressure Vessels : Vessels, tanks, and pipelines that carry, store, or receive fluids are called pressure vessels. A pressure vessel is defined as a container with a pressure differential between inside and outside. The inside pressure is usually higher than the outside, except for some isolated situations. The fluid inside the vessel may undergo a change in state as in the case of steam boilers, or may combine with other reagents as in the case of a chemical reactor. Pressure vessels often have a combination of high pressures together with high temperatures, and in some cases flammable fluids or highly radioactive materials. Because of such hazards it is imperative that the design be such that no leakage can occur. In addition these vessels have to be designed carefully to cope with the operating temperature and pressure. It should be borne in mind that the rupture of a pressure vessel has a potential to cause extensive physical injury and property damage. Plant safety and integrity are of fundamental concern in pressure vessel design. Pressure vessels are used in a number of industries; for example, the power generation industry for fossil and nuclear power, the petrochemical industry for storing and processing crude petroleum oil in tank farms as well as storing gasoline in service stations, and the chemical industry (in chemical reactors) to name but a few. Their use has expanded throughout the world. Pressure vessels and tanks are, in fact, essential to the chemical, petroleum, petrochemical and nuclear industries. It is in this class of equipment that the reactions, separations, and storage of raw materials occur. Generally speaking, pressurized equipment is required for a wide range of industrial plant for storage and manufacturing purposes.

3.3 Heat Exchangers : Heat exchangers transfer heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid through the combined mechanisms of conduction and forced convection. In most heat exchangers, a metal wall separates the two fluids. All heat exchangers are similar in their principle of operation; however, heat exchangers may differ in the specific fluids that are used in the heat transfer process, the layout of the metal tubes, and the configuration of the enclosure. Main types of heat exchangers : • Shell-and-tube heat exchangers • Air-cooled heat exchangers • Double-pipe heat exchangers • Plate-and-frame heat exchangers
17
At present HDOL manufactures, Shell and Tube heat exchangers only. However, HDOL opt for new products viz. Air cooled heat exchangers and Plate & Frame heat exchangers.
Basic arrangement of a shelland-tube heat exchanger
In shell-and-tube heat exchangers, one fluid, known as the "tube side" fluid, flows inside a set of parallel tubes known as the "tube bundle." These tubes are enclosed within a metal shell. The other fluid, known as the "shell side" fluid, flows inside the shell but over the outside of the tubes. Both the metal shell and the tubes are pressurized, and they must withstand the specified design pressures during the intended lifetime of the equipment.

Opportunities in Oil & Gas (India Brand & Equity Foundation) Growing energy demand of India and necessity to service that to ensure economic growth is not compromised, presents business opportunities in the complete value chain of oil and gas sector. Exploration for domestic production growth, development of discovered fields, transportation of crude oil, gas and products, refining to service the petroleum product domestic demand
and
exports,
retailing
infrastructure;
prospective
blocks
to
encourage all these sectors provide business and investment opportunities.
“Basic Statistics on Indian Petroleum & Natural Gas, 2008-09” – Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas The sales/consumption of petroleum products during 2008-09 were 133.400 million metric tonnes (including sales through private imports) which is 3.45% higher than the sales of 128.946 million metric tonnes during 200708. The total number of exploratory and development wells and metreage drilled in onshore and offshore areas during 2008-09 was 381 and 888 thousand metres respectively. The total refinery crude throughput during 2008-09 at 160.77 million metric tonnes is 2.99% higher than 156.10 million metric tonnes crude processed in 2007-08 and the prorate capacity utilisation in 2008-09 was 107.9% as compared to 104.8% in 2007- 08. The Oil and Gas Sector Overview in India – 2009 (KPMG) India today boasts of surplus refining capacity, with further large expansions planned. The major expansions are for the Vadinar refinery of Essar, the Indian Oil Corp oration (IOC) refinery at Paradeep and the planned refineries at Bina in Madhya Pradesh by BPCL and Bhatinda in Punjab by HPCL-Mittal Energy.
30
India is aiming to emerge as a refining hub even as global refining markets have tightened with the closure of small refineries in North America and Europe mainly due to challenges in investing in cleaner fuels and high compliance costs. In addition, permits for Greenfield refineries are hard to obtain in these countries due to environmental concerns. Therefore, capacity addition is primarily coming from emerging economies like India, China and some Middle Eastern countries. The Government of India has been providing tax incentives and fiscal incentives to new refineries.
FINAL REPORT ON THE INDIAN CAPITAL GOODS INDUSTRY (Department of Heavy Industries, Govt. of India) The process plant equipment industry has evolved primarily on the basis of the
requirement
to
set
up
core
process
industries
in
India
after
Independence. The demand today is also from these process industries being set up but the size of the plants have increased and are at times comparable, or larger than global capacities. The industry caters to a wide variety of process industries like oil & gas, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, metal industry, cement, paper, sugar, cryogenics, distilleries etc. Internationally the trend that is witnessed in the heavy engineering sector is that of a shift in base from Europe to Japan to now Korea, Taiwan, East European countries and China & India due to logistics and cost. Today in India there are a few companies who have made a mark in the export arena due to their manufacturing skills and quality. Today the manufacturing facilities are equipped with modern machinery and are producing very sophisticated
equipment such as
high pressure

exchangers, spiral heat exchangers, multiwall vessels, airfin coolers, multitubular reactors etc. The internationally renowned consultants in the process industries like Flour Daniel, Bechtel, Foster Wheel, LG, Daelim, Jacobs, Kvaerner, Mitsui Babcock, Linde, ABB Lummus, Technip, Jacobs, Stone & Webster, Udhe and Toyo Engineering have offices in India. They are increasingly using the Indian process plant manufacturers‟ expertise in engineering and manufacturing for outsourcing since they are in the process of creating global vendor databases for the purpose of expanding their low cost structure purchase options. When asked what should be the company‟s strategy to enhance market share, 47 percent said that they followed no strategy at all. Out of the remaining 53 percent companies who have or followed a strategy to enhance their market share, the majority felt that the top most priority in enhancing market share was by achieving high quality and service. The second priority they felt was aggressive marketing. Third was to reduce costs and lastly they felt increasing the product range may help them to increase their market share. However, surprisingly it was noted that an aggressive marketing strategy was followed only by 28 percent of the companies, 30 percent do not even collect competitors‟ information and the balance 42 percent have a basic understanding of marketing strategies and are aware of their competitors / own competitive advantage. Competitive pressures in the global manufacturing environment are forcing manufacturing organizations to re-engineer in order to become more competitive in the marketplace. Toward that end, management of these organizations

manufacturing performance, and the systems, processes and measures used in its evaluation. Competitor Analysis (Adapted from Michael E. Porter, Competitive Strategy, 1980, p. 49.) In formulating business strategy, managers must consider the strategies of the firm's competitors. While in highly fragmented commodity industries the moves of any single competitor may be less important, in concentrated industries competitor analysis becomes a vital part of strategic planning. Competitor analysis has two primary activities, 1) obtaining information about important competitors, and 2) using that information to predict competitor behaviour. The goal of competitor analysis is to understand:
with which competitors to compete,
competitors' strategies and planned actions,
how competitors might react to a firm's actions,
how to influence competitor behavior to the firm's own advantage.
Casual knowledge about competitors usually is insufficient in competitor analysis. Rather, competitors should be analyzed systematically; using organized competitor intelligence-gathering to compile a wide array of information so that well informed strategy decisions can be made. Michael Porter presented a framework for analyzing competitors. This framework is based on the following four key aspects of a competitor:
Competitor's objectives
Competitor's assumptions
Competitor's strategy
Competitor's capabilities
33
Objectives and assumptions are what drive the competitor, and strategy and capabilities are what the competitor is doing or is capable of doing. These components can be depicted as shown in the following diagram: Competitor Analysis Components What drives the competitor

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
35
This chapter describes the way in which the study is conducted in terms of methods of data collection Analyzing, Interpreting and Reporting Results. It also describes the motivation, scope and limitations of the study along with the objective of the study.
6.1 Research motivation India's economy is on the fulcrum of an ever-increasing growth curve. With robust growth of the Indian economy, the demand for commodities has been on the rise which has already enforced huge investment into various sectors and has resulted into heightened activity in the domestic sectors like Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals and Nuclear Power. In turn, Engineering Industry is also showing continuous upward trend in growth for last couple of years by catering the need of expansions and new projects of these sectors. This clearly indicates that a study is required for an untouched manufacturing sector of process plant equipments in India from global recession.
6.2 Problem Definition How different business sector‟s growth affects Process Plant Equipment manufactures growth. How this opportunity can be encased by correct product mix, diversification, and new product development. What are the areas of improvement to cater industry demand.
6.3 Research Objectives The specific objectives of the research were: 1. To identify business opportunities in various business sectors for process plant equipments 36
2. To understand organization buying behavior 3. Marketing Strategies to be adopted for heavy engineering company 4. Importance of detailed competitive analysis to develop future business plan 5. Importance of Correct product mix and New Product Development in process plant equipment industry
6.4 Scope of study India is flooding with expansion of existing plants and development of new projects in Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Power, Fertilizers, Metal etc. It is importance to tap these opportunities by proper market research, identifying area of interest, strengthening company‟s capabilities and developing marketing strategy. Scope of Study is limited to Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Ltd.
6.5 Hypotheses There are a set of hypothesis that has to be substantiated to bring justice to research topic and they are: H1:
Oil and Gas Sector is having better business prospectus than other business sectors with current workshop facility.
H2:
HDOL cannot become LEVEL-1 Company with current workshop facility.
H3:
Heat Exchangers are better than Pressure Vessels in terms of profitability.
37
6.6 Research Approach Both qualitative to better define our research problem and get a deeper insight into it and quantitative methods to produce data that can be statistically analyzed and whose results can be expressed numerically were used.
6.7 Type of research Exploratory research is a type of research design that has its primary objective the provision of insight and understanding of problem setting. The nature of research is exploratory based on sample that provides insight understanding and problem setting. It involves approaches such as informal discussion with HDOL officials in the initial stage. The research was also descriptive research i.e. to identify the cause of something that is happening or something happened because of that cause. The research will be a quantitative analytical research which will be descriptive in nature.
6.8 Sampling Technique : Broadly there are two methods of sampling were used: Judgmental sampling is a form of convenience sampling in which the population elements are selected based on the judgment of the researcher. Here, we have selected four major business sectors like Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, Fertilizers and Power. Other business sectors are also contributing in growth, but their contribution is very less, hence, not covered.
38
The sampling technique used here is a non random sampling technique called quota sampling i.e. the population is divided into subclasses and then picking up the data non-randomly. In the present case, we have selected Competitors as well as Business Sectors based on their revenue among the groups. The company showing the highest revenue in their respective field is taken.
6.9 Data Collection strategy Both primary and secondary data was collected. In Primary data collection, HDOL‟s status of enquiries, order booking, interview of HDOL official are evaluated. The secondary data was gathered through books, journals, articles, web-sites of Ministry of Petroleum, BSE, NSE and various companies website of different business sectors.
6.10 Data Analysis Strategy : The analysis of the available data will be based on the tools and techniques used in financial management and statistics. Mainly MS Office Excel Package would to use to carry out the hypothesis testing and descriptive statistics. The analysis will include the performance of the sample companies for last five years. The analysis will include both technical and fundamental analysis, which includes comparison of annual results of companies from different business sectors for selection of companies.
We have also done simple competitive
analysis of competitors.

Analysis & Interpretation for Hypothesis – 1 (H1)
40
Hypothesis – 1 : H1:
Oil and Gas Sector is having better business prospectus than other business sectors with current workshop facility.
7.1 Analysis : 7.1.1
Oil & Gas Sector :
Growing energy demand of India and necessity to service that to ensure economic growth is not compromised, presents business opportunities in the complete value chain of oil and gas sector. Exploration for domestic production growth, development of discovered fields, transportation of crude oil, gas and products, refining to service the petroleum product domestic demand
and
exports,
retailing
infrastructure;
prospective
blocks
to
encourage all these sectors provide business and investment opportunities. Indian companies are expanding refinery capacity and putting up green-field refinery projects. Global oil majors are seriously evaluating investments in India. Recently BP announced understanding for forming a joint venture with HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd.) for a grassroots refinery. RIL has also announced their interest in increasing refining capacity from 33 MMTPA to 50 MMTPA. India has ambitions to become the hub for petroleum products exports. Demand for petroleum products in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to be 41
around 25 to 27 million barrels per day (1.2-1.3 billion tonnes per year) in the year 2010. However, the refining capacity in the Asia Pacific region is expected to increase from the current 21.9 million barrels per day (1.09 billion tonnes per year) to a maximum of 25 million barrels per day in the year 2010 (Source : Industry Sources). The export potential coupled with the additional capacity additions and new refineries provide a unique opportunity for potential investors. The opportunity exists in the form of investment in capacity additions to the existing refineries and forming consortium with private and NOCs to set up new refineries.

Outlook for the Exploration & Production Exploration activity, prior to NELP (The New Exploration Licensing Policy), was dominated by public sector firms such as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC) and Oil India Ltd. (OIL). The sector received a major boost in 1974, when the massive Mumbai High fields were discovered off India's west coast. Even after three decades, these fields continue to be the mainstay of India's indigenous production. Realizing that these fields would gradually deplete over time and no major discoveries were being brought into production, the Government introduced the NELP, with an aim of encouraging private sector participation in the oil and gas sector. Recent rounds of NELP have proved attractive in gaining the interest of Indian private sector and foreign players, with the private sector giant, RIL, winning the maximum number of blocks after the state-owned ONGC. A number of foreign players such as Cairn, BHP Billiton etc have also participated in the bidding rounds, forming consortiums with domestic and other foreign players. However, some of the super-majors, such as ExxonMobil, Shell etc. continued to watch from the sidelines, rather than mark their presence in the bidding rounds.

Outlook for the Refining Sector India is aiming to emerge as a refining hub even as global refining markets have tightened with the closure of small refineries in North America and Europe mainly due to challenges in investing in cleaner fuels and high compliance costs. In addition, permits for Greenfield refineries are hard to obtain in these countries due to environmental concerns. Therefore, capacity addition is primarily coming from emerging economies like India, China and some Middle Eastern countries.

Petrochemicals Sector :
The petrochemical industry of India is less than 40 years old. Petrochemicals cover basic chemicals like Ethylene, Propylene, Benzene and Xylene. The other major components are the intermediates like MEG, PAN and LAB etc, Synthetic fibres like Nylon, PSF and PFY, Polymers like LDPE/HDPE, PVC, Polyester and PET etc and Synthetic rubber like SBR, PBR. The sector has a significant growth potential. Although the current per capita consumption of petrochemicals products is low, the demand for the same is growing: The major players in this field include Reliance, Indian Petrochemicals Limited (IPCL), National Organic Chemical Industry Ltd (NOCIL) and Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) etc.
47
The Petrochemical industry is seen to hold good growth potential in the medium-term
as
domestic
per

consumption
of
petrochemical
derivatives is fraction of world levels, indicating significant potential for future growth in India. Demand growth in India is fuelled by several factors :

7.1.3
Fertilizer Sector :
The Indian fertilizer industry has emerged as the fourth largest producer of fertilizers in the world after China, USA and Russia. Nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers are produced indigenously, while requests for potassic fertilizers are met through imports. India‟s requirements for 2007-08 were 26 MM Tons urea going up to 29 MM Tons in 2008-09 against a production of 20 MM Tons
The requirement for 2011-12 is around 35.5 MM Tons for which availability should be approx. 39 MM Tons and thus under the present production scenario the import will rise to 19 MM Tons
The demand-supply gap is expected to grow further and may worsen in view of the fact that 16 out of the 29 urea units are over 20 years
Immediate need to install 13-15 MM Tons urea capacity by 2011-12 equivalent to 11 to 13 Ammonia Plants of 2200 MTPD each

7.1.4
Power Sector :
India has been one of the fastest growing economies in emerging markets. Indian economy has posted more than 9% growth for three years consecutively and has seen a decade of more than 7% growth. One of the key factors behind any growing country is the energy requirement and supply in that country. India's per capita consumption of energy is extremely low as compared to other countries and the world average. For example, the Total Primary Energy Consumption (TPES) in India is just 0.51 tonnes of oil equivalent, while the world average is more than three times this figure, as the table below indicates. Similarly, the per-capita electricity consumption stands at just 503 Kilowatt-Hour (KwH) per year, less than one-fifth that of the world average of 3 2659 KwH and a massive 13515 KwH in the United States. These figures illustrate the fact that there is a massive potential in India for the growth of energy consumption, should the supply rise to meet the demand as it increases.

7.2 Interpretation : Looking to growth pattern of various sectors discussed above, Oil & Gas sector dominates others sectors. There are many big players like ONGC, IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, RIL etc. Also, it should be noted that Exploration & Refining supplies feed/raw material for other sectors like Naphtha to Petrochemicals/Fertilizers/Power sectors and Natural Gas to Fertilizers/Power. Further, existing refining capacity is 177.97 MMTPA and new projects are coming with refining capacity of 62.99 MMTPA, means this sector is growing by 64.6%, hence, it proves heavy investment in this sector. It is proved that Oil & Gas sector is one the driving force of economy. Petrochemicals Sector is also emerging sector. Few expansion projects like OPaL, OMPL are under progress and there will be good requirement of process plant equipments. There are no major investments in Fertilizers & Power Sector. Looking to HDOL product range, it is clear that Oil & Gas Sector is full of opportunities and we can supply variety of high value equipment. Analysis of enquiry received and orders booked by HDOL also shows that Oil & Gas Sector contributes more than other sectors. Hence, the hypothesis that Oil and Gas Sector is having better business prospectus than other business sectors with current workshop facility is proved correct.

8.2 Interpretation : As reviewed and analyzed above, HDOL is having very good design capabilities, machineries, space, infrastructure etc. among LEVEL-2 & 3 companies. HDOL stands at LEVEL-2 at present. HDOL management aims to compete LEVEL-1 companies for critical high value equipment. HDOL is lacking behind from top companies in many respects like technological tieups, machineries, skilled man power, certifications and accreditations, proven track record, welding capabilities, sea front, global presence, automation in fabrication & welding techniques etc. Lost order analysis also reveals that small and medium category suppliers giving stiff competition and to secure order, HDOL has to squeeze margins. SWOT analysis also indicates lots of scope of improvement to come out this situation. To enjoy comfortable situation and exploit niche market, HDOL has to raise its capabilities comparable to LEVEL-1 companies, where HDOL can secure orders with good margins. Above analysis proves that HDOL cannot become LEVEL-1 Company unless it expands his wings across every area discussed. Hence, the hypothesis that HDOL cannot become LEVEL-1 companies with current workshop facility is proved correct.

Hypothesis – 3 : H3:
Heat Exchangers are better than Pressure Vessels in terms of profitability.
9.1 Analysis : Overview of both Heat Exchangers and Pressure Vessels is already given in chapter “Product Portfolio”. We are repeating few thing herebelow : MAJOR PRESSURE VESSEL PARTS : Shell, Heads, Saddle/Skirt/Leg/Bracket Support, Process Connections, Hardware, Internals (if required) etc. MAJOR HEAT EXCHANGER PARTS : Shell, Heads, Tubes, Tubesheets, Girth Flanges, Forgings, Cover, Baffles, Saddle/Skirt/Bracket Support, Process Connections, Hardware etc. MAJOR RAW MATERIAL FORMS FOR VARIOUS PARTS : PART / COMPONENT

KEY FACTS ABOUT HEAT EXCHANGERS:
Minimum HOLDs compared to pressure vessels
(so manufacturing
activities can be started quickly)
Tubes are required before approx. 2 months of job completion so interest burden of tube cost (44% of total cost) is less. In case of pressure vessels, major cost contributor is plate which is necessary to start work which we need at early stage of manufacturing
HDOL is having capability of Thermal as well as Mechanical design of heat exchanger, so economical design with optimization can be done by playing various technical parameters
Basically heat exchanger is having two sub-assemblies viz. Main Shell & Tube Bundle. Both sub-assemblies can be fabricated separately so overall cycle time of manufacturing is less compared to pressure vessels
If we compare Price v/s Weight (like Rs. / kg) then heat exchanger is having high value compared to vessels
Compact in construction, hence requires less space and handling capacity
Variety of construction options like Screw-Plug type, Helix heat exchanger, Plate-Frame type, Air Cooled type etc. These options contributes value addition
71
Interpretation : HDOL is having all capabilities right from design to dispatch. It should also be noted that market requirement of both the product is not controlled by us. We can only choose market mix to be adopted depending capacity utilization. If spare capacity is available, then opportunity for pressure vessels can be materialized. Above analysis reveal many advantages of heat exchangers which prove it superior to pressure vessels. Heat Exchangers are having different kind of construction models, which can make product mix rich. If we consider unit time period (say a year), then it is sure that HDOL can manufacture more nos. of heat exchangers compared to pressure vessels of similar weight. Price ranges for pressure vessels from Rs.100/kg to Rs.125/kg and for heat exchanger from Rs.200/kg to Rs. 225/kg. So, above analysis proves that heat exchangers generate more revenue than pressure vessels. Hence, the hypothesis that Heat Exchangers are better than Pressure Vessels in terms of profitability is proved correct.

Recommendations & Conclusion
73
An attempt is made to identify the factors that influence Process Plant Equipment manufacturers in terms of business opportunities from various business sectors, future prospectus, product mix, high technology products and awareness of technological developments in market. The major findings of the study are listed below:
10.1
Major Findings & Conclusion :
Process Plant equipment sector is a highly capital as well as labour intensive sector with a strong engineering orientation where the products are mostly custom built. The industry at present is equipped with modern machinery in addition to competent engineers with management skills, skilled technicians and qualified welders. Looking to growth pattern of various sectors discussed, Oil & Gas sector dominates others sectors and this sector is growing by 64.6%, hence, it proves heavy investment in this sector. Looking to HDOL product range, it is proved that Oil & Gas Sector is full of opportunities and we can supply variety of high value equipment, hence, it is having better business prospectus than other sectors. Petrochemicals Sector is also emerging sector with few new projects. HDOL management aims to compete with LEVEL-1 companies for critical high value equipment. To reach at LEVEL-1, improvement and enhancement are required in areas like technological tie-ups, machineries, skilled man power, certifications and accreditations, proven track record, welding capabilities, new workshop having facility jetty near by and penetration in export market. Hence, it is proved that with current workshop facility, HDOL cannot become LEVEL-1 company. There is huge requirement of heat exchangers and pressure vessels in oil & gas sector globally. There are huge oil refineries in gulf countries, so efforts are required for market penetration.
74
Better product mix is always necessary for overall growth of the company. Though market requirements are not governed by us, efforts must be made to tap business opportunities for heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are having many plus points; hence, it is having good profitability compared to Pressure Vessels.
