 1. INTRODUCTION

The Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation (KSEDC) popularly known as KELTRON,
was established in 1973 as the first Electronics Development Corporation in India in the state
government sector. The Keltron group of companies comprised of the holding company
KSEDC, and ten subsidiary and associate companies turning out more than hundred different
types of products. The products are distributed through a strong sales and distribution
network spanning the entire country. Keltron Controls, a division of KSEDC was set up in 1979
in Aroor to introduce the state-of-the-art technology in the field of Control and
Instrumentation (C&I) to the power and process industries in our country.

Keltron is one of the major pioneering Public Sector Companies in Kerala. Its ownership is
completely held by Government of Kerala. Keltron Controls Aroor (KCA) was started as its
Control and Instrumentation division. During early 2000 in order to utilize its idle capital and
infrastructure, Keltron Controls Aroor was restructured into four self-profit generating
Strategic Business Units (SBU`s). The activities of SBUs are supported by the Common Service
Groups (CSG`s) comprising of Finance, Materials, HR, Administration etc.

1.1 ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Electronics is one of the fastest growing segments of the Indian industry. Today, the
electronics industry is completely de-licensed with the exception of aerospace and defense
electronics. The electronic industry in India constitutes less than 1% of the global market! The
demand for these products however is growing rapidly and the investments are flowing-in to
augment them a fracturing capacity.

1.2 HISTORY OF ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY.

Among the manufacturing industries, the electronics industry occupies a key position in
modern science and technology. It plays vital role in the field of Atomic Energy,
Communication, Defense, Education, Entertainment and Space Technology. Until 1970s the
electronics industry was the most protected of all the Indian industries. At that point of time
countrys electronics policy strongly favored self-reliance and technology and capital imports
were strongly discouraged. This resulted in the electronics industry being highly under
developed till the late 1980s. The industry was considered very inefficient producing
outdated and low quality models at a very high cost. Policy reforms were initiated in the early
1990s with the liberalization of trade and industry sectors. With the change in the policy
regimes after liberalization, the industry experienced restructuring.

2.1 HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

The history of KELTRON Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. - is a saga of
innovation in electronics. From being a pioneer in 1973; to the role of a trend-setter, today
the Organization Keltron - has been the catalysis for the development of electronics industry
in Kerala. The tag line launching a state owned electronics enterprise, more than a quarter
century ago, read spearheading an electronics revolution in Kerala. It was indeed an
experiment by Government of Kerala (The Industries minister SrI. TV Thomas & the founder
Chairman & Managing Director Sri. KPP Nambiar) to transform the laid-back, picturesque
Kerala state known for its spices, natural beauty, Kathakali and Onam boat races, to an
arena for industrial and technological development based primarily on Electronics. That
was in fact how Keltron was born headed by the founder Chairman & Manging Director Sri.
KPP Nambiar in the capital city of Kerala State Thiruvananthapuram. Today he has an
unique position in the Indian Electronics scenario as the father of electronics in India.

Within five years of its inception, Keltron had set up a production centre in every district of
the state. More than 5,000 people were engaged directly or indirectly by Keltron for the
manufacture of electronic goods. The model of a state-owned electronics corporation was so
successful that several other states in India followed suit; launching their own electronics
development corporations.

A quarter century later, Keltron after having contributed significantly to the the state and
substantially to the Industrial community of the nation and to the exchequer, set about
transforming Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala, into one of the major electronics hubs of
the country. Today the city is home to techno-park, the internationally known technology
park, a long cherished dream come true of the founder Chairman & Managing Director Sri.
KPP Nambiar - where thousands of talented men and women participate in the development
of a burgeoning information technology industry. Thus Keltron has in effect triggered a
revolution that still keeps churning out its benefits to individuals and institutions in different
parts of the world, touching different walks of human life and continuing in its quest to
Innovate Products & Processes and Services that would add further value to the livelihood
areas of the country, supporting real time industrial growth.
Keltron has been making things happen since 1973 starting with spearheading an electronics
revolution in the country to being the most sustainable electronics corporation in the state
sector. Relitronics that was the word used by for the products and services of Keltron by
the visionary founder ie: Reliable Electronic products and services. A strong infra-structure,
enterprising team of enthusiastic in-mates, innovative operational methods, accent on quality
and customer-orientation are the core competencies of the organization which has made
things happen all these years. Large pool of Experienced Technical man power, expertise in
high quality manufacturing is the direct result of the highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team of
graduate engineers, project managers and a skilled workforce with a proven track record in
complex precision manufacturing. Now the visibility of Keltron is very much evident.

Currently Keltron employs a work force of 2000 of which 400 are engineers who possess
extensive hands-on experience in technology integration and adoption, high-Tech
manufacturing operations and in managing turn-key projects. Man power at space electronics
section has been specially trained at Indian space Research Organization (ISRO) in high
reliability soldering, harnessing and QC. Keltron also provides technical man power to major
organization like ONGC and VSSC and collaborators like Hitachi Japan. Country wide sales
network - Keltron has an all India Sales network in place with full-fledged Marketing offices in
Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Trivandrum to provide the
quickest possible service to customer.

Technology Support at the moment; Keltron has an arrangement with CDAC, the research and
development organization under the Government of India, which is located in the Keltron
House campus in Vellayambalam (Trivandrum), for technology development and adaptation.
An in-house research and development facility along with a full-fledged Knowledge Centre is
in the pipeline and will be implemented shortly. Strong Infrastructure and Manufacturing
Experience since its inception in 1973, Keltrons forte has always been high quality
manufacturing. During the past 30 years, Keltron has churned out a whole range of electronic
products, electro-mechanical and high precision modules and sub assemblies for different
industry segments. Over the years, Keltron has built up a strong infrastructure spread over 7,
00,000 sq ft of built-up area. Equipped with computer-based facility for system design &
engineering, and software development tools for embedded systems, Keltron today is fully
geared to offer integrated manufacturing solutions.

2.2 OWNERSHIP PATERN

Keltron is one of the major public sector companies in Kerala. Its ownership is completely
held by government of Kerala. Keltron Controls Aroor(KCA) was started as its Control and
Instrumentation division. But during the late 90`s because of the globalization of Indian
market and the change of energy sector reforms the control and instrumentation business in
India has become dull. In order to utilize its idle capital and infrastructure Keltron Controls
Aroor were restructured in four self-profit-generating strategic business units (SBU`s). The
activities of SBUs are supported by Common Service Groups (CSGs).

3. THE COMPANY PROFILE

3.1 INDRODUCTION KELTRON.

The Kerala state Electronics development corporation (KSEDC) popularly known as Keltron
was established in 1973 as the first Electronics Development corporation in India in the state
Government Sector. The Keltron group comprised of the holding company, KSEDC and ten
subsidiary and associate companies turning out more than hundred different types of
products. These products are marketed through a strong sales and distribution network
spanning the entire country. Eight branches located at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta,

house to design, engineer, configure, supply, install, commission, and maintains large
projects and provides customized solutions. A highly decentralized operating philosophy was
followed in restructuring the organization.

KELTRON CONTROLS
( THE CLASSIC ERA & MIGRATION TO MODERN ERA MANAGEMENT )
Keltron Controls, a division of KSEDC was set up in 1979 to introduce the-state-of-the-art-
technology in the field of Control and Instrumentation (C&I) to the power and process
industries in the country. Keltron Controls commenced its operation with the signing of
technical collaboration agreement with Controle Bailey, France for their sophisticated,
versatile electronic analogue control technology- the 9020 system. At that point of time
operations of the Division are focused on system design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Field
Erection & Commissioning and Project management of Thermal Power sector and Process
Control sector instrumentation systems. The divisions operations include manufacture of
panels and other C&I Systems and Instruments also. Thus the focus was entirely on C&I
business.

THE CLASSIC ERA.(1979 to 1999)

Ever since its inception, KELTRON CONTROLS has offered cost effective, State-of-the-art
Engineering solutions in Control & Instrumentation and Process Automation to Core sectors
like Power, Steel, Petrochemicals, Oil & Natural Gas, Fertilizers, Aluminium and Cement
Industries. The Division has brought-in the latest Control & Instrumentation Technology into
the country, covering such as Sensing Elements, Monitoring Hardware, Final Control Elements,
Actuators, and Control and Automation software.

With an Annual turn Over of Rs.600 Million and manpower base of over 600 personnel, Keltron
Controls specialized in system Engineering and Design, Manufacturing, Software Development,
Quality Controls, Erection & Commissioning and Customer support services (AMCs etc.). The
rich tradition of KELTRON in the field of Electronics gave KELTRON CONTROLS a leading edge
in Technology Assimilation, Reaserch and development. With its increasing capability to
undertake Turn-Key projects in Control, Instrumentation and Automation for varied
application; Keltron Controls was able to meet the challenges poised in front of them.

Keltron Controls has achieved many first time feats in India, like Total Power Plant
Automation at Vijayawada Thermal Power Station of AP State Electricity Board and the fully
automated Steel Melting Shop at Vizakhapatanam Steel Plant (VSP). With the signing of
Technical Collaborations with CONTROLE Bailey, France (1979), the Division successfully
introduced the popular Analog Control System in Indian Thermal Power Stations with a vision
to adapt sophisticated technologies to suit the Indian needs:

Analog Control Instrumentation Controle` Bailey, France

Edge-wise Indicators Camille Bauer, Swiss
Electronic Pressure & Differential Pressure Transmitters & Analizers ABB Kent
Tank Level Gauges Enraf B.V, Holland
Single Loop Controllers ABB Kent, UK.
Digital Distributed Control System ABB Kent, UK.

Subsequently emphasis was on technology assimilation, know-how studies and as a result

indigenization has contributed to the success of Keltron Controls in offering industry solutions
based on latest technology developed indigenously. Thus having blazed a trial of success in
the speedy implementation of various core sector projects, the manufacturing unit of Keltron
Controls Division set up amidst the lush greenery with the back drop of backwater in Aroor
near to Kochi, has been delivering complete solutions for total automation such as:

HIACS 3000 Digital Distributed Control System for Power Plant Applications
Multi Loop Digital Distributed Control System for Process Automation
9020 Analog Control system for Power Plants
S-9000 PC Based DCS for Power & Process industries.
SCADA Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition software for Power & Process Plants

Along with other complementing systems like Programmable Logic Controllers, Open loop
Logic System, Sequential Events recorders, Valve position Controllers and Multi-window Alarm
Annunciation Systems, and the unit ensured complete in-house solution towards total
automation solution integration.

Thus the division was sailing smooth with the classic and traditional industrial structuring of
well defined broad spectrum departments:

1. MARKETING: The division was equipped with well established marketing network
backed by qualified and experienced professionals assisting the customers in selecting
right products for specific applications in the core sectors.

2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: The project team provided the customers with single point
contact and co-ordinated with various departments and for the support services
required for the customers.
 3. SYSTEM DESIGN & ENGINEERING: The design team comprised of qualified and
experienced engineers specialized in process technologies to create optimum
engineering solutions. The Divisions Engineering capabilities had gained International
acceptance through associations with its collaborators for overseas contracts in
Singapore, Nigeria, Philippines.

4. SOFTWARE: A dedicated group of experienced application software engineers worked

to provide real-time software solutions on a variety of hardware platforms. This group
also provided software support services the collaborators for their overseas contracts
etc.

5. MANUFACTURING: The sophisticated manufacturing unit of Keltron controls covers a

floor area of 13,000 sq.meters spread over 18 acres of land in Aroor. This unit houses:

Fully equipped, air conditioned Electronic assembly shop for component

insertion, soldering, testing, calibration of PCBs, including computerized in-
circuit testers, cabinets wiring and system integration & testing.
Machine shop for precision machining of critical components

6. QUALITY ASSURANCE: Divisions Total Quality Management always ensured and

directed at constant improvement and development of products and servicesTotal
quality management efforts match the companies set standards of excellance to
ensure that the customers receive ZERO defect systems.

7. ERECTION & COMMISSIONING: In any Turn-Key project execution environment

Erection & Commissioning are two important overall functions. The division is
committed to comprehensive customer support at every stage of contract execution
up to the final responsive after sales service.

In fact the overall organization of Keltron Controls was fully focused on Control &
Instrumentation business till 1995. During late 1990s there was a marked change in the
foreign trade policies of Govt. of India and the flood gate in the name of open policy was
opened to all sectors and as a result the multinational giants like SIEMENS etc gate crashed
into India and established their supremacy in no time in hitherto protected Electronic
industry. Subsequently Keltron Controls faced draught situation in canvassing orders and had
to push forward with practically no C& I turn-key orders for considerable time frame! The
Spares business and AMCs helped the Unit to certain extend. The overseas giants applied
thump rule to dictated terms within the industry.

During the period Indian manufacturing industry experienced deep recession everywhere and
KELTRON too experience the heat of recession. In most of the areas idling of man power as
well as machine was evident. The next 5 to 7 years were a trial by fire for the manufacturing
industry. Every management pundits raked their brain to find a way out of this predicament.
Lot of brain storming was made. Keltron too were in search of a solution to tide over the
situation!

THE PRESENT (THE MODERN ERA 2003 TO PRESENT)

Over the years, the division has diversified into Information Technology (ITG) also by starting
the manufacture of computers in 1999. Subsequently, the division started manufacturing of
mechanical products for the disabled people (PPD). Of late, the Division has diversified its
operations into Defense field in close association with NPOL, Cochin and Bharat Electronics,
Bangalore as well as into shipping instrumentation in association with Cochin Shipyard Ltd

Evolution of Electronics as a business

The word Electronics has become a part of our day- to-day lives. It is hard to imagine a
life without the use of these electronic gadgets, which in general term comprise of
Radios, Televisions, Computers, Cell phones etc. Electronics, as it is defined by
engineering stalwarts is the branch of science that deals with the flow of CHARGES
through inductors, vacuum tubes, semiconductors, capacitors and numerous similar other
devices. Starting from the daily use devices like radios, television and other circuits, all
come under the broad terminology E L E C T R O N I C S.

During the early 1900, the marked leap in the world of scientific inventions was the
Electronic vacuum tube. After 1950`s, the science of electronics switched to Radio
Techniques due the invention of Radio. This was the result of the restricted use of the
science of electronics for radio appliances. Most definitely the encouragement must have
rooted from the use of military necessities in vogue, at that point of time. However,
since then the advance of electronics in various fields had attained an increased
momentum. All these inventions and advancements were the contributions of the
Americans and Europeans, to a greater extent.

1970s saw the development of new era of electronics as entertainment electronics as

Japanese found a way to come to the top of the world of electronics through
entertainment electronics. Japanese companies like Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba,
Matsushita and Hitachi became the industry leaders in this new electronics era. China as
well as some of the other South Eastern Countries, which later on became major player in
electronics world also started coming to the forefront during this period. The
advancement of world of electronics had varied effects on the world of technology as a
whole. The 1970s saw the use of more and more electronic devices in all fields of science.
Satellite communication and space research required more focus and attention of
electronic researches. The decade also marked the beginning of the drastic change of
philosophy to computer industry augmentation, making personal computers a reality. As
more focus turned to electronics, Robotics followed suit. Coupled with computers,
Robotics technologies were considered for precision and extensive use in factory and
manufacturing. The Japanese consolidated their position by innovations in advanced
entertainment electronics capturing the mass attention. Companies like SONY were
considered to be the ultimate in entertainment electronics and still enjoy the apex
position.

However during 1980s, the Americans and Europeans strived hard to regain their position
in electronics by the path breaking invention of SEMICONDUCTORS and other active and
passive components. The age of semiconductors form an integral part of modern
electronics devices and appliances. Consequently the electronics industry found a long
and happening path of history. This indeed had achieved due to the cascading effect of all
the inventions and hard work put in by pioneers in America and Japan and other countries
of Europe and Asia. In effect the industry has changed the way of life across the globe.
Moreover the total effect of the same was seen very predominantly in the explosion of
economy over national and international levels. From INDUCTION COIL generating the
electricity to WIRELESS APPLICATION PROGRAMMING revolutionizing the communication
arena, the industry has exploded many folds. To be very precise, this industry has made
electronic devices an integrated part of modern civil society.
