PVP Ventures plans major investments in power

PVP Ventures Ltd is set for major investments in the power sector with the proposed merger of Malaxmi Energy Ventures with itself. According to information provided by the Company to the stock exchanges, the PVP Ventures' board will consider and accept the valuation report for the merger by PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd.

Mr Prasad V Potluri, Chairman and Managing Director, PVP Group, told that with the merger, PVP Ventures will emerge a large player in the independent power projects arena. For PVP Ventures, power project development and generation will emerge as a major investment area other than real estate development where it has large projects.

Malaxmi Energy has a significant stake in two major power projects - 50 per cent in Navabharat Power Pvt. Ltd and 26 per cent in Simhapuri Energy Pvt. Ltd - which are in advanced stages of implementation with confirmed coal linkages. With the merger of Malaxmi Energy with PVP Ventures, the power projects would come under a subsidiary PVP Malaxmi Energy Ventures, he said.

Assets: Navabharat Power is a special purpose vehicle promoted by Malaxmi and Navabharat Ventures which is setting up a 2,250 MW coal-based power project in Dhenkanal district, Orissa. It has been allotted coal linkages and coal blocks. The clearances and approvals for the power project are also in place, he said.

Simhapuri Energy is a joint venture between Malaxmi and Madhucon Projects for a 540 MW (270 MW x 2) power project at Krishnapatnam, Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. The financial closure for the first phase has been achieved.

Malaxmi Energy, promoted by the technocrat Mr Yarlagadda Harish Chandra Prasad, gives PVP Vent not just the assets but also an expert management team with experience in power project development, Mr Potluri said.

Future Plans: Over the next 12-18 months, PVP Malaxmi Energy would look at setting up power projects of capacity of 8,000 MW, which would be implemented in the next 5-7 years. The Company's investments in these projects would be around Rs 4,000 crore.

On the funding, Mr. Potluri said over Rs 2,000 crore revenue from realty projects over the next five years would be utilised for investments in the power projects. This money would be PVP Ventures' share of revenue from a 70-acre township it is implementing in Chennai jointly with Arihant and Unitech. Also, funds would be sourced by the SPVs for the power project and through strategic financing.

According to PVP Ventures officials, the Chennai township project (coming up on the former Binny Mills' lands at Perambur) is going through the process of approvals and the Company is looking at a launch around Diwali. In the pipeline is a 1,300-acre residential project in Hyderabad, near the international airport. The Company also has lands in Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam, where more developments are planned.

THE MAN AND HIS LEGACY A portrait of PSG Govindasamy Naidu

Great legacies have mostly had humble beginnings. But, they have all been ignited by a grand dream. One such simple dream that has enriched generations in this entire region is the legacy of the PSG family and its institutions. Coimbatore today is known nationally for its industries and educational institutions, which were founded and patronised by its enterprising people. If one were to go into the past to study the origin of the early industries and educational institutions, the PSG legacy will weave a beautiful story. The founder The P.S.G. family, belonging to the Kammavar sect of the Naidu community, traces its history to Periya Veedu Venkatarama Naidu in the later part of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th centuries. The letter `P' in P.S.G. is derived from Periya Veedu, `S' after Sama Naidu, the third son of Venkatarama Naidu, and `G' after Govindadamy Naidu, the second son of Sama Naidu.

D.Balasundaram The machine man Architects of Coimbatore

The first indigenous motor in the country was produced in Coimbatore in 1939 , thanks to an engineer who was working in the National Engineering Works of G.D.Naidu. An electrical engineer from Sheffield University, England, D. Balasundaram had training in a major industrial unit there that had 12,000 employees manufacturing components for power stations. He is said to have used the “copper rotor welding” technology to design this motor. Born in 1913 at Avarampalayam ,Coimbatore, he first established Coimbatore Engineering and Trading Company to manufacture components for textile machinery. When his Textool Company was born, the first ring frame was produced. According to historian C.R.Elangovan, this was an achievement because it was a period immediately after the Second World War when everything was scarce and there were too many restrictions too. Besides, everything had to be imported for which also there were a number of controls, licences and practical proble...

G.K. Devarajulu The textile city Architect of Coimbatore

The brothers who contributed substantially to the industrialisation of Coimbatore are G.K. Devarajulu and G.K. Sundaram . The sons of cotton merchant G.Kuppusamy Naidu, who also had a ginning unit, both evinced immense capability. Devarajulu, born in 1911, was a man with appetite for risks.     He set up the Lakshmi Mills at the age of just 21. As the machinery for the cotton units were imported from Europe under the impression that those from Japan were substandard, Devarajulu visited the factory in Japan to study whether the machinery would suit Indian requirements. Consequently all the machinery for his unit were imported from Japan. He also introduced the administrative system he found good in Japanese units. When Devarajulu and Mr. Sundaram joined Textool as shareholders in 1940, the company produced its first ring frame. Devarajulu joined hands with R.Venkataswamy Naidu of Peelamedu to set up the South India Viscose for which he imported m...
