HUMAN RESOURCE 
 
 The company continuously encourages its employees to enhance their efficiency and productivity to meet the global challenges and competition. The company provides regular training to its employees, reviews and evolves polices from time to time. 

 

Industry Structure and development 
 
 India's macroeconomic performance turned out to be stronger than anticipated with real GDP growth at 6.9% in 2004-05. Likewise, the Automobile Industry performance in the year 2004-05 showed encouraging results for all segments of the automobile Industry. The industry registered a growth of around 16% in number over the year 2003-04. There are certain key factors behind these upswings like, sales incentives, introduction of new models as well as variants coupled with easy availability of comfortable repayment options continued to drive demand and sales of automobile industry during the year 2004-05. 
 
 The overall domestic market, including domestic light passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two-wheeler market, is expected to grow at a modest rate of 10 per cent annually over the next decade. India is increasingly becoming a sourcing base both for international auto majors for exporting completely built units as well as for outsourcing components. 
 
 According to a report by the Associate Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham), the Global auto component industry is likely to grow to about $1.9 trillion by 2015 and of this, about 40 per cent is likely to be sourced from the low cost countries (LCCs) such as India. 
 
 The performance of the company is directly linked with the growth of the Automotive sector. The company is having a good opportunity in view of the present estimates for future development of the industry. 
 
 Opportunities and threats 
 
 a) Opportunities 
 
 The major strength of the Indian auto component industry is skill in areas such as engineering, education, labour, re-designing manufacturing process, designing to lower costs. India's advance tooling and machining industry has enabled localization of capital equipment and reduced capital costs. The Indian auto component industry has the opportunity to grab the world global auto component industry with its existing infrastructure at a lower cost with better quality and lessor delivery time for supplies to the customers. The company is committed to supply quality products to its customers not only to compete in the existing Indian market but also looking for destinations across the world especially in ASEAN and European Countries. 
 
 The present policy of the Indian government also encourages the auto component industry. There are many positives in the current union budget also for the automotive industry, the reduction of corporate tax, the continuation of the benefit for R & D, the reduction in duty for electric vehicle parts. 
 
 The Company, PT Minda Automotive Asean was established in Indonesia to manufacture automotive parts such as switches, lamps and horns. The company has also subscribed for its equity shares. The commercial production of this unit will likely to be commenced in November 2005. 
 
 b) Threats 
 
 There are certain weaknesses that Indian manufacturing industry is confronting including lack of scale of operation, inadequate and poor quality of infrastructure, These weaknesses are either directly or indirectly affecting the performance of the Indian Auto Component Industry. The company may have to face a stiff competition, cost reduction pressure from customers, price reduction. 
 
 Segment-wise performance 
 
 The company is engaged in the manufacturing of automotive parts such as Switches and Lighting. During the year a unit engaged in the manufacturing of 2W Horns has been hived off. All these products are carrying similar risk and returns. Hence, there is no separate reportable segment. 
 
 The exports sales of the company during the year 2004-05 was Rs.58.190 Millions as against Rs.43.344 Millions during previous year registering a growth of over 34%. The company is committed to enhance its exports sales and have already tied-up with some of the major OEMs like Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany, Piaggio, Italy and PMTC, France etc. 
 
 Outlook 
 
 Their team at Minda Industries Ltd. is committed to make the company a world-class company by applying various tools and techniques like 5-S, 5-Whys, QC Tools, TPM, SMED, Kanban, Poka-Yoke etc. 
 
 The company has been awarded as superior performance in Quality and Delivery in Electrical Category by one of their esteemed customer M/s. Bajaj Auto Ltd. in a Vendor Convention held in Dubai on May 01, 2005. It is another landmark, which will improve the image of the company among existing and prospective customers worldwide. 
 
 Risk and Concerns 
 
 The company's performance and growth is directly linked with the growth of the Automobile Industry i.e. Original Equipment Manufacturers to whom the company is also supplying its products. Presently Automobile industry is under pressure due to opening up of the Indian economy for automobile manufacturers and disintegration of Global Barriers. All major automobile manufacturers are establishing their place of business in India either directly or through joint venture agreements with Indian Corporate(s). 
 
 Consequently, there is a pressure on Indian Automobile Industry from all corners like sales & margin, stringency in regulation driving technology, shift in Global markets. This pressure ultimately shifts to the auto component manufacturers and will face a stiff competition all around.
