 Diversification

“Havells is not shy of investing in unrelated field. The acquisition

marks the beginning of our entry into the healthcare segment.
We have spent over Rs 20 cr for the acquisition and are investing
an equal amount in expanding the existing facilities in the
hospital. In the next phase, we are likely to go for more such
facilities”

position in the global lighting industry with a strong presence
in the developed markets of Europe and high growth Latin

which Havells can build on. Further, the management team
responsible for SLI Sylvania's turnaround will continue to
remain with the business and grow the combined organization"

"The management team is extremely excited about the

Transaction and believes that SLI Sylvania is well-poised
to effectively exploit the opportunities ahead with

 SWOT Analysis

distributor). • Slowdown in global markets will effect more
• Global presence (Latin America, UK, Europe) adversely now after Sylvania acquisition.
• Largest manufacturing capacity .
• R & D facilities.

SWOT

Opportunities
• Global opportunities.
• Acquisition of Chinese firms for low cost
manufacturing.
• Vertical integration into Havells retail outlets.
• Leveraging upon motor business in India.
Threats
• Unorganized market.
• Unrelated diversification
• Global slowdown effected business adversely as

• Delays in execution of power projects

26/8/2009 Strategic Management 21

 Future…
• Plans for acquisition of Chinese firms.

• Opened a representative office in Shanghai in a bid to penetrate

into the fast growing Chinese electrical equipment market.

• Tremendous focus on global market.

• Low market share globally, thus miles to go ahead.

But the Question…………………

Is the mighty falling into an unfocussed business or is sensibly

venturing into unrelated diversification?

Is still unanswered……..
