LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Performance:

 

Their Company’s turnover for the year under review has grown over previous year to Rs. 3310 Millions. The prices of the major raw materials, particularly natural rubber and petroleum-based inputs have gone up substantially, during the year, which adversely impacted the profitability of the Company. The price increases obtained by the company, from the OE business segment, could off set only a portion of the input cost increase, severely impacting the bottom line, in view of the size of this business segment. In spite of growth in revenues and your Company’s sustained cost reduction measures,

 

Expansion:

 

Their Company has expanded its production capacity, substantially, from 8.000 millions number of  tyres and tubes each, to 11.000 millions number of tyres and tubes each, during the year under review.

 

Their Company’s outlay on capital expenditure during 2005-2006 amounts to Rs. 21.000 millions, funded by borrowing and internal accruals.

 

Their Company is planning to expand the capacity further augment the capacity. Their Company continues to examine, new profitable opportunities, within the tyre industry. The extent of expansion , the investment and the means of finances are being worked out.

 

Management Discussion And Analysis Report

 

Industry Structure and Developments:

 

In 2005-06, the two wheeler sales and production went up by nearly 16% which is almost same as that of last year. This has resulted in growth in demand from the After Market also.

 

Discussion and Analysis:

 

Increase in prices of Natural Rubber in particular, and increase in other petroleum based inputs, resulted in shrinkage of intense competition, the cost increased could only be passed on partly to the customers.

 

Outlook:

 

Input costs have gone up and are expected to remain high. The industry may have to increase prices to maintain profitability.

 

On the positive side, it is predicted that there will be a volume growth of 12% to 14% in 2006-07. The Company is also making vigorous efforts to increase exports. These opportunities will partially offset the impact of the cost increases that have happened. They are optimistic of growing our business n the Indian After Market as well as getting an increased share  of business with all key OEM customers
