Subject has a market share of
80% in diesel fuel injection pumps. It
is the domestic leader in spark plugs with a market share of around 85%.
Motor Industries Company Ltd.(MICO),
incorporated in 1951 as a subsidiary of Robert Bosch AG, Germany is India's
largest auto-ancillary company. This ISO 9001 certified company which was
initially incorporated to manufacture spark plugs for petrol engines and fuel
injection equipment for diesel engines the company produces wide ranges of auto
ancillary products which includes delivery valve nozzles, nozzle holders,
filters, filter inserts, glow plugs, glow indicators, glow resistors, starter
motors, etc. It is one of the world largest manufacturer of diesel fuel
injection equipment. It is also dealing in industrial equipment,
auto-electrical, gear pumps for tractor applications, electric power tools,
packaging machines, security technology products and Blaupunkt car multimedia
systems. Robert Bosch, Germany, holds a majority 56.99% stake in the
company.
In 1985, MICO introduced the bi-metal electrode spark plug for petrol
engines. It also took steps to develop a manufacturing programme to produce
59,500 multi-cylinder fuel injection pumps. The company diversified into
starter motors and alternators. It set up the Bosch Global Development Centre
to design and develop small single-cylinder pumps for the entire Bosch group.
MICO has launched products like fog lamps, halogen lamps, stop lamps, tail
lamps and horns. The company has designed and developed fuel injection systems
with emphasis on reduction in both emission and fuel consumption.
The company has expanded its product mix in India with an investment of about
Rs 500 cr. The company had set up a manufacturing base for fuel injection
equipment with an investment of over Rs 200 cr. The Government of Karnataka has
extended a package of incentive for the proposed expansion/diversification
project.
It entered into a MOU with the Rajasthan Govt. to set up facilities near
Jaipur to manufacture auto ancillaries/components including fuel injection
equipment. The Jaipur plant was inaugrated and the civil work for the
Application Development Center is nearing completion. For the ninth year in
succession the MICO Vocational Center at Bangalore was adjudged the best
establishment in the All India Skills Competition. It intorduced three
contemporary models of Car Audio Systems belonging to Blaupunkt 99 range.
MICO made a buyback of shares in February 2002 of 200,000 equity shares
of Rs.2500 per share. It had concluded the first tranche of share buyback in
May 2000 at Rs 4,200 per share. In Nov.'2000, it obtained approval to buy back
another two lakh shares, representing 5.55% of its capital at Rs 3,800 per
share. The company has drawn up a total outlay of Rs 760.00 millions for the
buyback, to be financed out of the free reserves.
The Bangalore, Nashik and Naganathapura plants were re-certified for QS
9000. The car radio assembly line at the Naganathapura plant achieved the QS
9000 certification. With a view to intensifying customer orientation, a new
initiative called BeQIK has been introduced as in Bosch. BeQIK is the Bosch
global guiding principle providing the overall vision for change within Bosch
worldwide.
During 2001-02 the Nashik Plant successfully commissioned the shifting of
production facilities from Robert Bosch in Brazil,Turkey & France for the
manufacture of Nozzles and Nozzle Holder Assemblies. The installed capacities
of Fuel injection Equipment were increased to 2131000 Pcs in 2002. To cater to
the Indian market, 'Terra-25' a vertical form, fill and seal machine was
introduced by Packaging Machinery division. The Mobile Communication Division has
launched 'Velocity' range of car audio accessories such as speakers,woofers
& MP3 players.
Business Situation:
The Company had a second consecutive successful year wit] growth in sales
volumes in almost all segments: both automotive and non-automotive.
The Indian automobile market continued to grow in the year 2004, driven
by the overall improvement in the economy, increased purchasing power,
continued easy availability of finance, higher spending on infrastructure
projects, etc., resulting in a substantial increase in the demand for MICO
products. In addition, the Company secured new projects and gained market share
to post an impressive overall 36% growing in OE sales. This growing in the OE
segment was complemented by healthy growth rates in the other businesses like
Power Tools, Car Multimedia, Security Technology, Packaging Machines and
Special Purpose Machines. However, the automotive after market business of the
Company faced a challenging market environment due to severe competition from local
players and continuing grey imports and declining part replacement frequencies.
Despite this environment the Company retained its leading market position in
the after market segment.
MICO established itself as a reliable partner in the international
production network of Bosch with its high quality and productivity. This gave a
good platform for further growth in its exports to Germany, France, Austria,
the Czech Republic, UK and USA with exports constituting 17% of total
sales.
As in the previous year, the volume growth in 2004 in production could be
met through improvements in productivity. Stringent control over costs, working
capital and capital expenditure, focus on cost reduction and value engineering
measures continued to partly neutralize the increasing cost of raw materials
like steel and aluminium. These measures resulted in a significant positive
impact on the operating results enabling the Company to post an increase in
operating profit from 19.5% of sales in 2003 to 21.8% in 2004.
The introduction of Bharat Stage II emission norms (equivalent of Euro II
norms) all over India from 2005 will significantly affect the demand for
In-line Pumps, leading to surplus manpower and fixed assets. As a part of the
ongoing exercise for restructuring the operations, a further provision of
Rs.250 millions. has been made in the year under report.
After a detailed analysis and review, the Company has taken strategic
decisions to prepare for the future and to secure its leadership position in
the automobile components market.
The latest in Diesel Fuel Injection technology, the Common Rail System,
is emerging as a preferred solution for auto industry in India to achieve as a
further step, the Bharat Stage III emission norms (equivalent of Euro III
norms). In order to lead the technological change in the market and to
strengthen its market position, the Company will set up manufacturing
facilities for the Common Rail System in India apart from reinforcing the
application and testing facilities for these products. Efforts are under way to
set up facilities that will meet the local demand as also supplement the Bosch
manufacturing capacities worldwide to supply parts for the overseas
markets.
Start of production of various components is scheduled over the period
2005 to 2007. A total investment of Rs. 5,500 millions. has been earmarked
towards this objective: The High Pressure Pump for the system will be produced
in Bangalore supported by Injectors' production in Nashik. The first Common
Rail System is expected to roll out in early 2006.
The Common Rail System which has turned out to be a success story for
Bosch will contribute to making diesel cars cleaner, economical, more quiet and
sportier than ever. This technological expertise and global experience at Bosch
will help the Company to gain a leading position in the Common Rail diesel
market in India. The Company has offered this system to all manufacturers in
India and has already secured some major projects, the details of which cannot
be disclosed at this stage due to confidentiality agreements with
customers.
As a result of planned increases in investments during the years 2005-07
for manufacture of Common Rail Systems and due to the change in product mix
comprising increase in volume of Distributor Pump and significant fall in
demand for In-line Pumps, the net profits for the years 2005 and 2006 is
expected to decline from the 2004 levels.
The Power Tools division of the Company took up several new marketing
initiatives. The Accident Relief Kit launched for the Railways has been
received well. The product range was further improved with the launch of the
Lawn and Garden Tools. The first Bosch Power Tools Shoppe in India became
operational in Secunderabad. This is the first of its kind outside
Europe.
The Packaging Machinery division plans, designs, manufactures and
installs complete packaging lines which enables to offer to the customers in

During the year, the Company embarked on a new journey - to drive its
growth in the future and to deliver value for all its customers with aggressive
support from Bosch. In this journey, Bosch will be an even more active partner
to harness its technology, global expertise, innovation and leadership. The
Company will in turn support Bosch through its skilled and trained manpower,
good manufacturing know-how and long standing presence in the Indian market,
established over the past 53 years. These efforts will translate into further
business growth opportunities as well as transform the Company into a Research
and Development Competence Center and a manufacturing hub for the Bosch
Group.
The Company has an integrated information system and good IT
infrastructure to cater to all locations through a secure and reliable
international corporate network. Regular checks and information security audit
in line with international standard practices ensure business continuity,
protection of Bosch and MICO proprietary information and addresses emergency
situations.
The implementation of SAP R3 project: 'SPECTRA' (Speed, Efficiency &
Transparency), was commenced during the year for optimizing planning and
operational efficiencies as also to adopt some of the best practices of Bosch.
MICO Engineers specialized on SAP R3 are currently receiving the required
training at the Bosch overseas offices and in India. The roll out of the SAP
Project estimated in 2006 will address the requirements of users in Corporate
Office, four manufacturing plants, Sales Offices and warehouses spread across
the country.
Effective 1st January 2005, the Company acquired from Robert Bosch India
Ltd., the business activities relating to Petrol Injection Systems consisting
primarily of system application, development and manufacture of Electronic
Control Units as well as the trading activity involving import and sale to
Indian OE customers of components such as Electronic Control Units, Fuel
Filters, Fuel Pumps, Temperature Sensors, Pressure Sensors, Valves, etc., as a
going concern for an aggregate value of Rs.115 millions.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS:
India's GDP growth for fiscal year 2004-05 is estimated around 6%, on top
of a robust growth of 8.2% in the previous year. A weak monsoon in 2004 led to
negative agricultural growth (-2%), as against an above average 9.1% in the previous
year. As agriculture constitutes 22% of total GDP, this had an adverse impact
on the GDP growth. Nevertheless, the growth rates in Industrial sector and
Services sector are estimated at a good 7% and 9%, respectively, thanks to
strong fundamentals of the economy. Governmental spending on infrastructure
projects continues to be a major factor for growth.
The automobile sector continues to grow at a fast pace. While car sales
were 28% higher in 2004 than in the previous year, commercial vehicles sales
grew at 29% despite the high price of crude oil, firmer interest rates or lower
farm income. Diesel consumption increased at a steady pace of 4.5%. On the
other hand, easy availability of credit, good industrial activity and adding of
nearly 6,000 KMs of express-ways (Golden Quadrilateral) to the road network
have had a positive impact on the demand for the commercial vehicles. Large
capacities built by OEMs in the past are coming in handy now as they have been
able to fully meet the increasing demand for commercial vehicles. Cars and
multi-utility vehicles crossed the mark of one million for the first time in
calendar year 2004. The launch of large number of new international models
appear to be another factor which is boosting the car sales. Two wheelers also
are selling at higher rate of 12%. After recovery from a long downward slide,
the tractor industry is showing signs of a good growth. However, there still
exists a large un-utilized capacity in this segment.
India is the largest producer of tractors, second largest producer of 2/3
wheelers in the world today.
The growth rate in different segments of the automobile sector in the
last three years is shown below: 2002 2003 2004
Commercial Vehicles 24% 37% 31%
Tractors -3.5% -2.0% 40%
Cars & Multi-utility
Vehicles 2.9% 25% 29%

OPERATIONS:
The year 2004 was another year with many important milestones in
MICO:
* The company recorded highest ever sales since its inception yet
again.
* Most of our Diesel Fuel Injection equipments recorded double digit
growth, thanks to the high demand from our OEM customers. Inline and
Distributor Pumps recorded the highest ever production.
* The Auto Electrical business recorded a significant growth and improved
its market share further.
* Non-automotive businesses such as Power Tools, Blaupunkt Car Audio,
Security Systems, and Packaging Machinery also showed impressive growth.
* Exports crossed Rs.3,950 millions. the highest volume so far. Exports
are largely to Bosch divisions worldwide. Export of Single cylinder pumps
crossed Rs.1,000 millions.
* The quality performance could be significantly improved.
* The company achieved a substantial cost reduction in operating costs
despite rising prices of steel, oil and other inputs.
The successful transfer of product lines and the corresponding business
from other plants of Bosch to MICO has been a major factor in boosting the
exports.
The automotive aftermarket is the only area where sales have remained
more or less at the same level as last year. The reasons for this have already
been discussed in the Directors' Report.
The Spark Plug business, which is suffering from falling demand in export
markets due to progressively longer life of the new types and onslaught of
spurious/ grey imports in the domestic market, achieved major savings by
removing the excess manufacturing capacity and the attendant structural costs.
However, it is yet to return to achieving profitability. Good growth of 2 and 3
wheelers as well as cars in India is expected to give a boost to this business
in the near future.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The company's financial reflect the healthy trend seen all around in the
Indian automotive industry. Higher volumes in the OE segment stretched plant
capacities to the full extent. This had a positive effect on the bottom line.
Higher production and sales were managed through improved productivity and
higher capacity utilization. In Nashik and Jaipur plants, the demand beyond the
manufacturing capacity was met by importing balancing components. As imports
have longer lead time, this resulted in higher levels of inventory when
compared to the previous year. However, the inventory turnover ratio (measured
in number of days' coverage) has been maintained at the previous year level of
39 days.
With a view to ensure high level of quality of products, significant
investment was made during the year in testing equipment. Further, to meet the
increasing demand for Injectors, Distributor Pumps and Single Cylinder Pumps,
investment was made to increase manufacturing capacity of these products. In
all, Rs.1,300 Mio. was invested in the respective plants during the year. The
breakup of these investments is as under:
Quality 21%Capacity 26%Environment 7%R&D 5%Services 24%Others
17%
Project start up costs and lead time for start of production has been
kept to the minimum. Net surplus of the year has been prudently invested in
financial instruments with high safety and liquidity with reasonable
return.
In addition to its ongoing technical
collaborations for the manufacture of fuel injection equipments, spark plugs,
auto electricals, etc., the company has entered into technical collaborations
for the following products :
It’s exports are mainly to
Bosch Group companies worldwide and has access to Bosch's sales network. It has opened a representative office at
Bangkok, for developing the South East Asian market.
The company imports its
requirements from Germany, Japan and U.S.A.
