BUSINESS OVERVIEW: 

 

The Company is a leading manufacturer of Auto Suspension Springs and is one of the leading market players in springs for other Industrial Application. Business from the Auto Suspension Springs accounted for more than 63% of the turnover. With most of the economic indicators of the Country recording a growth of 8.4% during 200506, the Automotive Industry, however, witnessed a difficult year as growth off domestic sales in all categories of vehicles slowed down to 8.5% from 18.6% in the previous year 2004-05. Amidst this situation, although the Company's sales grew by 13.2%, the growth in Auto Components sector has been only 6.7% as compared to the industry sales growth of 7.1%. 

 
The Company, with its record performance of 1.89 million Heavy Coil Springs, now contributes over 35% of the 3 & 4-wheeler Vehicles springs sales. 

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT: 

 
The growth rate of the passenger vehicle industry started to slow down from the previous year because of the ever increasing base. The industry grew by only 7.5% for the current year in comparison to 17.6% for the year 2004-05. 


Similarly, the growth rate of the commercial vehicle industry also slowed down, the industry growing by only 4.5% when compared with the previous year of 23.03%. 

 
The Door Checker Hinges Industry in Canada and UK, to whom the Company exports springs, has grown significantly during the current year. Although the requirement of the springs is in huge numbers, the Company has only been able to supply less than 30% of the required demand. As there is a high opportunity in this segment, the same needs to be structured for future analysis. 

 
COMPANY PERFORMANCE:  

 
Existing Products: 

 
The Company has a strong presence in the Mini & Compact Passenger Cars segment as its main customer, Maruti Udyog Limited, has 4 models in this segment with those compared to competition. Due to this reason, the Company has a market share of approx. 36% in the Auto Suspension Springs market in India. The strong growth in the Mid-size/Executive and Premium/Luxury Passenger Cars segments continue, but the total volumes were not so high, so the Company with its growth of 13.2% continued to maintain the above market share. 

 
Although the growth in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles segment has reduced to 4.5% as compared to the previous year growth of more than 23%, the Company's growth rose significantly to enable it to achieve a higher Market share of almost 80%. 

 
The Company is in the process of further ramping up its coiling, grinding and prestressing Capacity to enable a substantial growth in its Export Sales in the coming years and increase its Market Share from the present 30%. 

 
New Product Development: 

 
The Company is in the process of developing suspension springs for new vehicles under development by Tata Motors Limited 

 
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW: 

 
As per current indications, the outlook for the year 2006-07 looks very positive. Although the growth of the Passenger Car Industry may slowdown to 10-150/0, the market share of MUL, the Company's main customer is increasing. The Company can expect a growth of around 20-25% in the Auto Suspension Springs business due to ramping up its capacity for Heavy Coil Springs. 

 
Growth in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle segment is expected to be low as the growth is expected to be significant in the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). The Company, however, is striving to increase its market share and could expect a growth of 2-5% in this segment. 

 
Although there wag high demand in the requirement of springs for the Export market to Canada and UK for Door Checker Hinge Springs, the Company had to re-organise its processing systems, and therefore, its Export Sales marginally reduced compared to the previous year. However, with the modified processing systems now in place and also ramping up of its processing Capacity, the Company expects to increase its Export Sales substantially.
