LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

The company was incorporated on 30th July 1949 at Chennai in Tamilnadu having Company Registration Number 951.

 

 

 

OPERATIONS

During the year under review, the Auto industry sustained the pace of growth of the earlier years and production of vehicles increased appreciably. Consequent to this, the Company was able to achieve significant improvement in the volume of sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers. The gains from this increase were, however, nullified by the stagnation in the After Market where there was no resurgence of demand, which continued to be low. As a result, the Company suffered a significant fall in its After Market sales and there was no improvement in the volume of total sales over the previous year.

 

The lack of improvement in the overall sales combined with the steep increase in cost of critical inputs had a severe impact on the profitability.

 

The Sales Turnover of the company for the year under review was Rs.2358.4 millions and profit before tax was Rs.21.7 millions.

 

The company has already taken several corrective steps aimed at cost reduction and has launched capex exercises for capacity build up and production increases.

 

OUTLOOK

The outlook for the current year is bright as there is no sign of any slackening in the pace of growth in the vehicles industry and some improvement in the After Market is also expected. The sustained investment for capex towards modernization, technology upgradation and quality improvements has placed the company in a favourable position to take full advantage of the increased demand in the O.E and Export segment. The company has also intensified its marketing operations to Improve after Market sales.

 

SUBSIDIARY and ASSOCIATES

During the year under review IP Pins and Liners performed well and has declared a Dividend of 30%.

 

IP Power Cylinder Systems Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of the company continued to suffer losses due to lack of export orders leading to complete erosion of its networth. Steps are being initiated to merge IP Power Cylinder Systems with the Company.

 

IP Rings Ltd., promoted by the company, also has performed well and had declared a dividend of 35% for the year ended 31st March 2006. Their Associate Company, Bimetal Bearings Limited, has declared a Dividend of 62.5% during the year under review.
