INTRODUCTION
Although Indian LED lighting market is at a nascent stage, it offers innumerable opportunities
for growth over the next few decades. As India represents one of the biggest lighting markets, it
offers a lucrative option for LED manufacturers to set up their facilities in the region. Skilled
labour, ease of doing business and demographic advantages provides a sustainable environment
for the LED industry.
Due to growing urbanization rates and increasing number of government initiatives that
encourage the use of LED lights. The government's support through various regulations that
promote the investments in energy efficient lighting technologies have expanded the applications
of LED lights across various industrial, commercial and residential sectors. A rapidly growing
automotive industry also provides productive opportunities for the use of LEDs in head lamps,
rear lamps, turn signal and brake light
According to 6Wresearch, India LED Lighting market is projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2021
and TechSci Research report, the LED lighting market in India is projected to register a
CAGR of over 30%, during 2016-2021,CAGR of over 30%, during 2016-2021,
With the increasing awareness of the importance of quality wiring at buildings, there will be a
significant increase in the demand for electrical wiring from the organized sector in the coming
years. Moreover, factors such as intense competition from the organized vendors will also
compel several unorganized suppliers to exit the market. As a result, this market segment will
continue to dominate the market throughout the predicted period.
One of the primary focus area of the development plan is railways, In addition, the government
has earmarked to develop 100 smart cities across the country. Highway projects which include
government flagship National Highways Building Project (NHDP), The Digital India campaign
that areindication of the growth of the industry.
Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the electric wire and cable market in
India will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of almost 16% by 2020.

CHAPTER 2
CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW
MANUFACTURING PLANTS
Powerful trends are shaping up industry for the 21st century. Because of rapid spread of
advanced technologies complexity of work is increasing - almost daily. With the state of the art
equipments and manufacturing facilities, QRG group is helping to boost safety in workplaces
from the factory to the offices, domestic buildings to commercial plazas. All the manufacturing
units are ably supervised and controlled by technocrats and industry specialists. The group has
well managed, well equipped tool rooms with machines like CCV Line, CNC Machines, EDM
Wire Cut, Spark Erosion Machines, Lathes and Surface Grinders.
Our strategic alliances with some of the leading technology corporations in the world of
electrical engineering, ensure constant access to the latest developments in the international
markets, which are then adapted to the tough tropical conditions. Our manufacturing units are
fully equipped with the latest and most sophisticated facilities in India. And in the hands of our
highly qualified technical experts, this results in some of the most advanced product
development in the country
Jalandhar Products manufactured: MCBs, ELCBs, DBs, Wires and Industrial Switchgear
CSR is a concept with many definitions and practices. The way it is understood and implemented
differs greatly for each company and country. Moreover, CSR is a very broad concept that
addresses many and various topics such as human rights, corporate governance, health and
safety, environmental effects, working conditions and contribution to economic development.
Whatever the definition is, the purpose of CSR is to drive change towards sustainability
The Havells mid-day meal program for school going children is our flagship CSR activity and
was introduced in 2005 with the stated aim of improving the health and nutrition levels of
students in government school and improving their attendance and learning outcomes. The
program began with coverage of 1,500 students. In 2015, ten years since inception, the Havells
Mid-Day meal scheme caters to over 57,000 students from 672 schools every day in the Alwar
region of Rajasthan.
SANITATION PROGRAM
Open defecation is one of the biggest challenges faced by the country. In 2014, we started
building bio-toilets in the schools where we served mid-day meal. So far we have built over 1200
bio-toilets in over 150 government schools. While building toilets is one thrust of making India
open defecation free, we realized that just building the required infrastructure does not guarantee
use or implementation of healthy practices. Not only it is important to generate awareness about
hygiene and proper sanitation practices to help make the endeavor sustainable but also a change
of perception and behavior amongst the target masses for a better and brighter future was equally
important. Havells envisioned WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Program in almost 100
Government Schools of Alwar where the eco friendly bio toilets have already been constructed.
ENVIRONMENT
Apart from this Havells has been focusing on tree plantation nearby its manufacturing plants. We
have planted over 10,000 trees in and around our plants in Alwar, Rajasthan and Baddi,
Himachal Pradesh.
PROMOTING EDUCATION
Havells also facilitates education by providing need and merit based scholarships to children at
the Ashoka University at Sonipat.
The essence of quality at QRG is closely wrapped in the way we think, plan and work. It finds its
true expression when we extend beyond ourselves to exceed our customers expectations. To
deliver products that is safer, faster and simply better. Each time, every time. Building customer
confidence through teamwork is a top priority to provide a wide variety of products and services.
Realizing and respecting the basic needs of customers to feel more secure, we've committed
ourselves to make our products better, safer and smarter than what he or she is looking for. That's
a passion that began 30 years ago and that's how it continues to be even today. Our customers
rely on us and it is our responsibility to give them the very best. All our products are as per IEC
standards

SAFETY MATTER
Protection against Electrical Shocks and fire:
With the ever increasing of the usage of electricity in our daily lives , the risk of electrical shocks
and hazards related to electrical fire to overcrowded wiring and leakage due to installation
failure. Poorly insulated apparatus, faulty wires or the incorrect use of an electrical device cause
current to flow through the wrong face (i.e. through the insulation) to the earth. This current is
called the "Leakage Current". Leakage current in an electrical system is responsible for two
major risks.
Electrocution is the passage through human body, which is dangerous .The flow of current
through human body, affects two vital functions
Breathing
Heart Beat
Electrocution can lead to muscle contraction causing respiratory paralysis, cardiac fibrillation
and immediate cardiac arrest resulting in death depending upon the magnitude of the leakage
current and the contract voltage.
Risk of fire
Poorly insulated wiring or loose connections are enough to create fire hazards a portion of the
current which normally flows in the conductor can find a way back to the earth through these
"leaks" and through materials with varying degrees of conductivity. These materials are not
intended to conduct current, and may get heated up to such a degree that they will set fire to
whatever they are in contact with (insulation, wood etc.). This is the start of fire.
Solution
Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers installed in the circuit senses these leakage currents and isolates
the faulty circuit thereby ensuring safety against the hazards of earth leakage. It is mandatory to
install an ELCB in the incoming circuit for all installations except those specified by the section
30 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910.
Theoretical Framework
The term Consumer Behavior refers to the study of how individuals make decisions to
spend their available resources on consumption related items. Studying customers provide clues
for developing new products, product features, prices, channels, messages, and other marketing-
mix elements.
Definition: -
Consumer Behavior is the process and physical activity individuals engage in when
evaluating, acquiring, using, and disposing of goods and services.:Louden-Dellabitta
Consumer Behavior refers to the behavior that consumers display in searching for,
purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products and services that they expect will satisfy
their needs. Study of Consumer Behavior is the study of how individuals make decisions to
spend their available resources like time, money and effort on consumption related items. :
