Data storage device manufacturer Moser Baer takes the #2 position based on the performance in the year ended March 2002. The Delhi-based company is a prominent global player in the data storage sector, manufacturing a range of recordable and re-writable compact disks (CDs) and digital versatile disks (DVDs), and floppy diskettes among others. Continuous investment in increasing capacity has resulted in the company becoming one of the world’s top 10 disc manufacturers. Moser Baer currently has an installed capacity of 800 million units per annum, which is slated to touch 1.4 billion units per annum by 2004. Moser’s performance was outstanding in fiscal 2002 with revenues growing 103% to Rs 680.56 crore and net profit growing 62% to Rs 223.76 crore. Moser is ranked at #6 in sales, #5 in profits, #1 in sales growth and #8 in profit growth. The company’s gross block grew 52% to Rs 815.43 crore as the company invested in expanding capacity to manufacture CDs and DVDs. Moser’s ROCE stood at just 19%, largely due to investments in additional capacities that are yet to go on stream. The company is ranked at #5 in gross block, #10 in gross block growth and #23 in ROCE. The company is expected to reap the benefits of its global size of operations and continue to report an impressive performance.
