Wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy, which returned to the black in Q4 FY11, is targeting to increase its total revenues by around 44% to up to Rs 26,000 crore in FY12, a senior executive has said.
"Our revenues were around Rs 18,000 crore in FY11 and we are targeting them to grow to Rs 24,000 crore to Rs 26,000 crore range in the next financial year," Suzlon Chief Financial Officer Robin Banerjee told PTI.
For FY12, the Pune-headquartered firm is targeting an earnings before interest and taxes to be in 7-8% of the total sales, he added.
Banerjee said the company, which had an order book of Rs 30,100 crore as of May 13, will be concentrating on its established business areas in India, China, Brazil, South Africa and Latin American countries for achieving growth.
Though the company does not have any immediate plan of foraying into any newer market beyond the 32 countries it is already present in, it is looking at having a presence in the Uruguay and Peru, he said.
The company has no capital expenditure-intensive project lined-up for FY12 and will not be going for any fund raising either, he said.
Suzlon's debt-to-equity ratio improved to 1.36:1 in Q4 FY11 as compared to 1.50:1 in the same period previous year.
For the three months ended March 31, Suzlon posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 431.59 crore as compared to a net loss of Rs 188.47 crore in the corresponding period last year. On a yearly basis, its net loss increased to Rs 1,103.43 crore in FY11 from the previous fiscal's Rs 982.56 crore.
