STARLITE COMPONENTS LTD (517548) - STOCK OF THE WEEK
Dear Investor friends Today I am expressing my view on one Electric component/LED/CFL industry stock.
STARLITE COMPONENTS LTD (517548)
Starlite
Components incorporated in 1991, now it is one of the largest manufacturers of
CFLs in India. During this period the industry, technology and market has
evolved and Starlite has been evolving with it. The last 3 years have laid a
strong foundation and now the company is looking at expanding its product
range, increasing penetration in the market and strengthening the bottom line
of the company. It has a production capacity of about 40 millions lamps per annum. These
includes state of the art, fully automatic lines for the production of T3 and
T4 lamps from FALMA and GE Hungary.
The lighting
industry has shown a very quick shift from fluorescent lighting to LED (Solid
State) lighting. As Starlite was waiting for this opportunity, it plans to make
the most of it and capture a significant share of the market. The Indian
lighting industry continues to show strong signs of growth. It has been growing
at a CAGR of 59%, growing from Rs. 8,500 Cr in 2010 to Rs. 13,500 Cr in 2013.lt
is expected to cross Rs. 21,600 Cr. in the year 2020.
PRODUCTS
Following are
the few products of the company.
The government
initiatives are increasing and the opportunities are opening for the industry
faster than most projections had anticipated. However, the percentage usage of
lighting continues to be a high 18% of the total power consumption in our
country (much higher than the developed countries, which account for 12-15%) so
with the current Government the demand for LED products is expected to continue
and Starlite is gearing up to make the most of this opportunity.
CUSTOMERS
Starlite has
also added new customers to its portfolio &now has a strong and diverse
customer base, which is a very positive sign for the Company from stability

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
The Indian Lighting industry is progressing faster than expected in the
adoption of energy efficient lighting products to reduce India’s lighting power
consumption & bring it closer to that of more developed countries. There is
tremendous demand of domestic capacity for LED manufacturing &testing. The
government should make the required funding and infrastructure available so
that we can capitalize on such an opportunity. This could give a fundamentally
strong and positive boost to the country’s economy.

increasing its manufacturing capacities and product base to meet the increasing
demand from various sectors & customers. The Company is targeting some
