SWOT

STRENGTH: Telecom cable manufacturer 



WEAKNESS: Market-savviness


OPPORTUNITY: Non-DoT market


THREAT: OFC would be a competitive market

Tamilnadu Telecommunications Ltd (TTL), which is the public limited company

promoted by TCIL and Tamilnadu Industrial Development Corporation Ltd, has done

well in the past two years primarily because of the steady growth in JFT and OFC

cables. In 2000-01, it grew from a total turnover of Rs 63.04 crore to Rs 113

crore. The bulk of its revenue has come from the JFT cables. The prime market

for its products has been DoT and in order to ensure that it continues to bag

the orders, TTL has also acquired the ISO 9002 certification and increased its

capacity. This, the company believes, will also help in fetching it more export

orders.

The company is diversifying into the manufacture of high value optical fiber

cables by entering into a joint venture with Fujikura Limited, Japan, which will

provide technological inputs for optical fiber cables.
