Engineering stocks finished on a mixed note with Bharat Bijlee and Manugraph India leading the losses. Siemens has reportedly won an order worth approximately Rs 1.02 billion to supply a 400 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Substation to West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Company (WBSETCL). The scope of the order includes engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of the GIS Substation. The 400 kV GIS solution is being manufactured at the company's manufacturing plant at Aurangabad.

As the State Transmission Utility provider, Transmission Licensee and State Load Dispatch Centre, WBSETCL is responsible for transmitting electricity from generating sources to load centers through a transmission network spread across West Bengal. Siemens is one of the leading producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies; combined cycle turbines for power generation; and power transmission solutions.

Siemens recently announced its fourth quarter results of financial year 2015 (September ending fiscal). The segment wise performance of the company was mixed. While the healthcare, mobility and energy management segments delivered good results, the power and gas and building technologies segments were under pressure in 4QFY15. The metals technologies business was unable to generate revenues due to the division being sold of effective December 2014. Here is our detailed analysis of the results (Subscription Required).

According to a leading financial daily, Tata Motors' subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover has entered into an agreement with the Government of the Slovak Republic to build a new plant in the city of Nitra, western Slovakia. The company will be the first British carmaker to open a manufacturing facility in Slovakia.

As part of Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to deliver more lightweight vehicles, the plant will manufacture a range of all-new aluminum Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. Reportedly, the first cars will come off the production line in late 2018. The factory will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles and construction will commence in 2016.

Jaguar Land Rover has made significant progress in building its international manufacturing presence over the last year. It opened a new joint venture in China and commenced construction of its local manufacturing plant in Brazil at the end of 2014. The creation of new international plants allows Jaguar Land Rover to offer its customers even more exciting new models, protect against currency fluctuations and create a globally competitive business.
