LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Company Profile:

 

The 1940s era heralded the end of princely patronage for enterprise, Mr. Shantanurao Kirloskar, the eldest son of the founder of Kirloskar Group travelled to Pune to initiate a new aspect of group's activities - diesel engines.  Mr. Shantanurao had to face the tangle of red tape and public resistance for acquisition of land for industrial purposes.  He had to convince that factories have a longer life than humans and he managed to get a place for the subject, twelve months after signing an agreement with Associated British Oil Engines Export Limited, UK. The company was inaugurated in 1946.

 

Incorporated in January 1978 as private limited company, Prashant Khosla Pneumatics (PKPL) became a public limited company in October 1980. The company was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Delhi based K. G. Khosla Compressors, a pioneer in the air compressor industry.

 

Subject, the Pune based Kirloskar Group Company, acquired PKPL in 1994, as per the BIFR-approved rehabilitation package. The company reverse merged with Prashant Khosla Pneumatics, which enabled the company to make tax saving, which would otherwise have been difficult. After the reverse merger, the company's name was changed to the present.

 

The company has two manufacturing units in Nashik, Maharashtra. One is a 100% EOU and the other caters to the domestic market. The company started off with the manufacture of air and gas compressor and their accessories. In 1990, it diversified into the manufacture of diesel gensets in technical collaboration with Man B and W Diesel, Germany.

 

Recession set in soon after the company started manufacturing diesel gensets in 1990. The problems intensified and the company was referred to the BIFR. The problems were caused mainly due to the investments the company had made in the building and plant & machinery, which it could not commercialise.

 

In 1996-97, Kirloskar Filters was merged with the company and transferred to a new company, Kirloskar Knecht Filters, which is a joint venture promoted in technical and financial collaboration with Knecht Filterwerke GmbH, Germany. The company has also joined hands with Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Japan for the manufacture of textile machinery.

 

During the year 1999-2000, the company shifted the small engines business unit from its’ factory at Khadki to Fursungi, on the outskirts of Pune.

 

The company received order worth Rs. 643.0 millions from the shipyard making vessels from Indian Navy and Coast Guard as the companies 1600 HP to 7200 HP were well accepted by them. The new plant at Fursungi received the ISO 9001 certification in the first year of its operations. The company terminated its agreement with  Mahle Filtersystemse GmbH from May, 2002 and accordingly the company sold its shareholding in KMFSPL to MAHLE and the management of KMFSPL rest with MAHLE.             

 

The engines developed by the company is according to Tier II norms and its engines were approved by the Emission Protection Agency of United States.

 

Director’s Report -

 

Management Discussion and Analysis:

 
The operations of the Company comprise of Engines and Auto Components. This business segmentation forms the basis for review of operational performance.

 
Industry Overview: 


During the year under review, the growth in the Indian economy continued. Some sectors like services and construction grew more than the average economic growth. As a result, the capital goods sector continued to grow steadily. 


The Central and State Governments continued to give priority to agriculture, road construction, housing and other infrastructure development. The effect of such investments was noticeable in the economy.

 
This vibrant economic scenario generated good demand for power. As supply from the grid was inadequate and with frequent interruptions, users were required to rely on standby powerfrom generating sets. The rising living standard in semi-urban and rural areas is also resulting in demand for generating sets. The telecom industry's need for power increased remarkably and the industry will continue to require standby generating sets. The demand for construction and material handling machinery and automobile components will also continue to be robust. 
 
The demand for irrigation pumpsets was stagnant in last two years. However, the year under review saw the demand grow by 12%. The portable and compact pumpsets at affordable prices are driving the growth of the sector. New product development targeted at this growing segment is nearly complete and launch of these new products is scheduled in near future.

 
The revised emission and noise regulation issued by Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways concerning diesel engine driven Construction Equipment Vehicles is scheduled to come in effect starting 1 October 2007. The industry is required to complete the development of engines and obtain certification for its products by conducting tests of engines as fitted on Construction Equipment Vehicles. 


The overall demand from all sectors of economy in which the Company operates, continues to grow robustly. However, one needs to be watchful of the impact of the rising interest rates.

 
Company Performance: 


During the year under review the Company achieved sales of Rs.18,830 Million (Rs.13,953 million) resulting in increase in sales by 35% over the previous year.

 
The profit before tax is Rs.2,395 million (Rs.2,460 million) after providing for depreciation of Rs.318 million (Rs.280 million). Analysis for both segments, Engines and Auto Components is presented below.

  
Segment-wise Operational Performance Engines:

 
The sales of engines registered an increase of 45% at Rs.16,500 million in the year under review (Rs.11,412 million), crossing the Rs.15 billion mark for the first time.

 
In the agricultural sector, the engines are used in the farm machinery and farm tractors. In the lower end of the range, there is competition from domestic players and from Chinese imports, while in the upper end of the range, the Company faces competition from the domestic players. The Company continues to expand its market share by in-depth and effective marketing activities in the potential villages, and offer products for each user segment while improving distribution network in depth, as well as quality and service. The Company's sales grew in line with the market at 12%.

 
The Company introduced two new engines and pumpsets in this market. These were very successful and captured share of 19% in the very first year of the market introduction.

 
 
Affordable, compact and portable pumpsets drive the growth in this market. Thus, two years ago the Company had started the design of less material intensive products to meet the price levels desired by farmers. These products are being tested in field for market launch in near future. 


 
The Farm Tractor market grew by 8% in the year under review. However, the market share of the Company's principal customer, Punjab Tractors Limited, stagnated. As the supply of engines to other tractor manufacturers has also started in previous year, sales to this segment are expected to grow in coming years. 

 

The Company is the leading player in the Power Generation segment with the widest range in the industry - 3 to 6300 kVA. The growing economy is pushing up the demand for power but the grid is already starved of power. Thus, there is growing dependence on standby power from Diesel Generating Sets. As a result, the Power Generation market experienced high growth in the year under review mainly due to demand from manufacturing, telecommunication, retail, Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES), and services sector, resulting in an increase in sales to the power generation segment by over 66% as compared to the previous year. 
 
The 'Kirloskar Green' brand under which gensets are marketed continues to be the most preferred brand in India, and is also selling in selected countries. In the year under review, the Company introduced 'Kirloskar Green' generating sets in 3 potential countries. The exports of generating sets also grew in the year under review. 
 
Due to its intense marketing and sales efforts, the Company sold 7 generating sets in 1600 to 6300 kVA range in the year under review, and the Company has a healthy order board for these.

 
 The engines are also used for industrial and construction machinery. The Directors assess that the manufacture of the Construction and Material Handling Equipment has good growth prospects in the country. The exports of these equipments by OEM customers have also started. In the year under review, there was robust demand from this sector. While the market grew by about 40%, the Company's sales to this sector grew by 52%. 
 
The Company is an established supplier to the Indian Armed Forces for decades and the sales to the Armed Forces continue to register steady increase


The engines in the output range 2400 to 11000 hp are sold for marine propulsion and marine power generation applications in addition to land based power-generating sets in 1600 to 6300 kVA. The Company has healthy order board from marine sector as a result of the order worth Rs. 2,500 million received in the year under review. This order is to be executed in 3 years. 


The Company manufactured for the first time, a 20 cylinder, model PA6STC engine for Offshore Vessel of Indian Coast Guard. The engine delivers 11,000 hp and the first ship set consisting of 2 engines was delivered to the shipyard ahead of schedule.

 
Another engine model manufactured with the latest technology, 12 cylinder, model PA6STC was successfully tested in presence of representatives of Indian Navy, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkatta and DCN, France. This is the first of the 16 engines on order, and stringent tests included recording of structure borne and airborne noise at various poweroutputs and speeds.

  
 A significant breakthrough was achieved by the Company in securing orders for standby diesel generating sets for Nuclear Power Plants being installed by Nuclear Power Corporation Limited This breakthrough is expected to provide growing business in coming years due to the Nuclear Power programme of the Government of India. 
 
The implementation of the world class Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution at Service Dealers and field service personnel has now reached large percentage of Indian population of the engines. The CRM has started resulting in increased satisfaction of customers with the Company's products and services, which in turn will lead to sustainable long-term market leadership.

 
Coupled with the CRM initiative, the Company made specific efforts to improve spare parts availability and also took focussed programmes to improve service network and customer contact. Due to these efforts, the sales on engine spare parts grew by 28% as compared to the previous year. 


 Auto Components: 


The buoyant automobile market, especially commercial vehicle and car markets, grew robustly in the year under review. However, the 'after-market' continues to stagnate. Thus, the Company's sales to OEM market increased by 37% as compared to industry growth of 15% and sales to 'after-market' reduced due to reduced overhauling activity of heavy and light commercial vehicles. The overall growth in sales was 17% at Rs.1,292 million over the previous year (Rs.1,103 million).

 

It is noteworthy that seven leading Automotive OEM customers have increased purchases from the Company due to superior service, near zero defects, and quicker product development. Additionally, the Company has secured orders for four new vehicles. 


The sales of engine valves registered a growth of 17% in the year under review. Three new OEM customers were also secured in the year. 


Other Businesses: 


The Company is also in the business of trading in oil and power generation and was in the business of manufacture of grey iron castings for part of the year under review.

 
The oil trading business caters to engine and furnace users who require fuel oil and also lubricants. The volatile oil prices in the year impacted this business, and it registered a decrease of 9% in the year under review.The casting business is in need of new technology and has synergy with the business of Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited Thus, effective 1 January 2007, the Company exited gray iron casting business by selling it to Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Limited for a consideration in cash of Rs.210 million. 


The Power business is being de-emphasized for last few years, as it is not viable. Investments in Engines Segment On 26 March 2007, the Company executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Government of Maharashtra to set up an engine manufacturing plant and Export Oriented Unit (EoU) for generating sets at MIDC Kagal in Kolhapur district. The capacity of the plants will be 100,000 engines and 12,000 generating sets per year. This capacity addition to the engine manufacturing capacity of 80,000 engines per year at Khadki, Pune will result in total capacity to manufacture 180,000 engines in 20 to 720 hp range. The Company expects to fully utilise the engine and generating set manufacturing capacity in 3 to 4 years.

  
The total investment of Rs.5,500 million at Kagal is funded from internal accruals and debt.  

 
Research and Engineering:

  
The Company keeps the engines up to the mark by meeting emission norms required for domestic and export markets. Starting January 2007, new emission norms are applicable for the power generation engines in Europe. The Company has successfully upgraded selectfamilies of engines to the required emission standards and will continue to export to Europe.

 
The revised emission and noise regulation by Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways concerning diesel engine driven Construction Equipment Vehicles is scheduled to come in effect starting 1 October 2007. The Company is well prepared to obtain the required certification in time.

 
To meet requirements of new high performance diesel engines and 'lead free' legislative norms coming up in different parts of world, new bearing materials are to be developed. The required infrastructure for development of such materials is being put in place and will be operational soon.

 
The Company has been selected as design partner for a new engine valve development initiated by one of the big three automobile manufacturers in the world. This partnership starts from engine's conceptual design stage. 

 

Exports: 
 
In the year under review, there was growth of 8% at Rs.1,390 million (Rs.1,286 million) in exports of the Company. The dip in export growth was due to certain Institutional Orders not materialising in time. The Company believes that growth momentum in exports established by the Cumulated Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 32% over last 3 years will continue. 

 
While the Institutional Orders were delayed, the Company's initiative to increase exports by developing OEM customers continues and the growth in sales to OEM customers was 88% in the year under review over the previous year. In the coming years, sales to OEMs will form a larger share of exports. 

 
The sales through distributors in the traditional markets of the Company grew by 8% in the year under review as compared to the previous year. 

 
The Company sees good opportunities for growth in sales of Kirloskar GREEN branded generating sets. These products are now selling in 42 countries. Telecom segment is one of the targets of the Company to sell generating sets. The sales have already started to customers in South East Asia, Africa and the Indian Sub-Continent. An Export Oriented Unit (EoU) with capacity to manufacture 12,000 generating sets per year is being set up to cater to the growing sales. 

 
While sale of engines to OEM Customers and sales of generating sets increase, the essential and time-consuming activity of creating after - sales service network in chosen overseas markets continues. In the year under review, the Company strengthened its presence in South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates. 

 
The Auto component business recorded a growth of 40% over the previous year and increased its presence in the after market segment in Middle EastAsia and Europe. 

 

To meet the growing demand for engine valves, the Company is setting up Export Oriented Unit (EoU). It expects to start invoicing from the EoU in the current year. 

 
The Company has created a Strategic Business Unit for Exports to have a focused attention on this important growth market. 

 
The Board is confident that growth in exports will continue in the coming years.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

Incorporated in Jun.'78 as a private limited company, Prashant Khosla Pneumatics (PKPL) became a public limited company in Oct.'80. The company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Delhi-based K G Khosla Compressors, a pioneer in the air-compressor industry.  


 Kirloskar Oil Engines (KOEL), the Pune-based Kirloskar group company, acquired PKPL in 1994, as per the BIFR-approved rehabilitation package. KOEL reverse-merged with Prashant Khosla Pneumatics, which enabled KOEL to make tax savings, which would otherwise have been difficult. After the reverse merger, the name of the company was changed to Kirloskar Oil Engines.

 
The company has two manufacturing units in Nashik, Maharashtra. One is a 100% EOU and the other caters to the domestic market. The company started off with the manufacture of air- and gas-compressors and their accessories. In 1990, it diversified into the manufacture of diesel gensets in technical collaboration with Man B and W Diesel, Germany. 

 
Recession set in soon after the company started manufacturing diesel gensets in 1990. The problems intensified and the company was referred to the BIFR. The problems were caused mainly due to the investments the company had made in the building and plant and machinery, which it could not commercialise.

 
In 1996-97, Kirloskar Filters was merged with the company and transferred to a new company, Kirloskar Knecht Filters, which is joint venture promoted in technical and financial collaboration with Knecht Filterwerke Gmbh Germany. KOEL has also joined hands with Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Japan for the manufacture of textile machinery. During 1999-2000, the company shifted the small engines business unit from the its factory at Khadki to Fursungi, on the outskirts of Pune


 The company received orders worth Rs.634 Million from the shipyard making vessels from Indian Navy and Coast Guard as the companies 1600 HP to 7200 HP were well accepted by them.The new plant at Fursungi received the ISO 9001 certification in the first year of its operations. The company terminated its agreement with Mahle Filtersysteme GmbH from May 2002 and accordingly the company will sell its shareholding in KMFSPL to MAHLE and the management of KMFSPL will rest with MAHLE. 


The engines developed by the Company is according to Tier II norms and its engines were approved by the Emission Protection Agency of United States. 

 
During 2003-04, the Company obtained license to trade in Power.
