Timeline and Development

On 11 May 1987, Himachal Futuristic Communications Ltd was formed.

To manufacture 1+1 and 1+7 Analog Subscriber Carrier Systems, the HFCL entered into a technical partnership agreement with Seiscor Technologies Inc USA.

In addition, Philips Kommunikation Industries AG of Germany signed a Memorandum of Understanding to manufacture the Digital Subscriber Carrier System.

In 1991, the business established two new companies, Himachal Telematics Ltd in Solan to produce digital microwave radio transmission equipment and fax machines, and Microwave Communication Ltd in Delhi to establish a radio paging network in several of the country's major cities.

In 1993-94, the company acquired Kaldev Trader & Investment Ltd and Coubndge Construction (Delhi) Ltd.

In the same year, HFCL also signed deals with telecom behemoths such as Korea's Kong Song Communication & Electronics Co Ltd to manufacture radio pagers and satellite video receivers.

In the 1995-96 fiscal year, Himachal Telematics Ltd was amalgamated with the HFCL corporation.

In 1997, the business was awarded a contract to build an information superhighway for Essar Commvision Ltd's basic telephone project in the Punjab circle.

In 1996-97, the company's Optical Fibre Cable Plant in Goa began commercial production.

In 1998, the company joined the information technology market by providing software solutions to the telecommunications industry.

During the fiscal year 1998-99, the business got Purchase Orders for STM-1 Optical Line Terminal Equipment worth Rs 22 crore and an advance Purchase Order for STM-16 Systems worth Rs 100 crore.

In 1999, the company entered the software export market and built a state-of-the-art facility in Delhi to support it. Reliance WorldTel awarded HFCL a contract to build an Internet backbone in Tamil Nadu.

From 1999 to 2000, the business launched two joint ventures, Consolidated Futuristic Solutions Ltd and Excel Net commerce Ltd, in software and B2B E-commerce, respectively, with the Kerry Packer Group of Australia.

During 2000-01, the business formed two subsidiaries: HFCL Infotel Ltd and Consolidated Futuristic Solutions Ltd.

During the fiscal year 2001-02, the business paid Rs 55 crore for 74% of HTL Ltd, a public sector initiative that manufactures the country's largest switching equipment.

With effect from 16 October 2001, HTL Ltd became a subsidiary of the corporation.

In addition, the firm sold a portion of its stock in Consolidated Futuristic Solutions Ltd. As a result, Consolidated Futuristic Solutions Ltd ceased to be a subsidiary of the company on 6 December 2001.

From 1 September 2002, HFCL Infotel Ltd amalgamated with the Investment Trust of India Ltd, a Chennai-based firm, and was renamed HFCL Infotel Ltd.

With effect from 31 March 2003, the owned subsidiary firm HFCL Trade-Invest Ltd amalgamated with the company during the fiscal year 2002-03.

From 30 September 2003, the Company's subsidiary, the Investment Trust of India Ltd, ceased to exist.

During the 2003-04 fiscal year, the company's cable business joined the cable TV market and quickly became a dominating player.

During the fiscal year 2004-05, the business executed the largest ever WLL CorDect order of 200 Klines and 60% of MTNL's CDMA Infrastructure order.

With effect from 11 July 2006, Moneta Finance (P) Ltd has become the company's completely owned subsidiary.

HFCL requested the delisting of its GDRs from the London Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2014.

Following the departure of the Depository, Bank of New York (BNY Mellon), the GDRs were delisted from the London Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, respectively, on 21 March 2014, and 23 December 2013, respectively.

Due to a lack of liquidity, with almost no trading and investors' dwindling interest in depositary receipts, HFCL has not selected a Successor Depository and has terminated the Deposit Agreement.

HFCL enhanced its success in its manufacturing and turnkey business divisions for the year ending 31 March 2015.

In the financial year ending 31 March 2016, HFCL had its highest ever revenue of Rs 2570 crore. It performed admirably across all business sectors.

With shipments to over 25 countries in FY 2016, the firm has established itself as a global provider of OFC goods (16 countries in FY 2015).

Despite fierce market rivalry from domestic and international competitors, HFCL earned its highest-ever export revenue of Rs 75.27 crore in FY 2016 (Rs 34.88 crore in FY 2015).

During FY 2015 and FY 2016, the business competed in four significant contracts announced by BSNL to establish a nationwide defence Telecom network, totalling around Rs 5000 crore.
