Three digit growth has helped CMC to secure a place in Top 5 club.

A wild card entry in the Top five Integrator’s club, CMC Ltd, has made its entry by virtue of its three-digit growth. The only public sector in the club, CMC has grown by 107 percent and registered a revenue of Rs 114 crore.

South is a high revenue generating area for the company, as it contributes around 32 percent of the revenue. Being a public sector organization, CMC’s 50 percent revenue comes from public sector and defense units. The company also has a good NI team of around 200 people.

CMC believes in providing products according to the requirements of the customer, so the company has tied up with leading players like Cisco for routers and LAN switches; Enterasys for LAN switches; Nordx/CDT for modems, hubs, etc; AMP for structured cabling; D-Link for routers, LAN switches, etc; and RAD for multiplexers, radio and modems.

On the campus front, CMC implemented LAN project for Andhra Bank based on Gigabit technology. The company is also very active on the WAN front and has bagged RBI Infinet VSAT project, HUDCO, LG Polymers and ERNET. The company has also bagged a lot of ISP projects of BSNL in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Pune and Gujarat. On the VoIP front, the company has implemented a project for GAIL worth Rs 8.71 crores based on Cisco’s backbone. The most prestigious, of all, is the RBI Infinet where connectivity was provided to 37 locations and DoT WAN connectivity was provided to 25 locations. To address specific market requirements, CMC is establishing application specific development centers.

If the disinvesment process of CMC moves according to the plan, it seems that the company will do well in the coming years, as the company has received bids from HP, Wipro, TCS and others. Any bidder will feel happy knowing the fact that the company will get an easy entry in the defense and government sectors where CMC has a strong foothold.
