Tyre Bead Wire

Tyre Bead Wire is a high carbon bronze coated steel wire used in all tyres. The main function of bead wire is to hold the tyre on the rim and to resist the action of the inflated pressure, which constantly tries to force it off. The bead is the crucial link through which the vehicle load is transferred from rim to the tyre. It significantly affects the safety, strength, and the durability of tyres


Following basic properties are required in the making of tyre bead wire :

  • Consistency in physical properties
  • Combination of high tensile and ductility,
  • Uniform and appropriate bronze coating,
  • Strong adhesion of wire to the rubber,
  • Uniform winding and proper coil dimensions

 

Product Range


Following sizes of bead wire are being regularly manufactured by us

·       0.89 MM NT / HT

Director’s Report:

 

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS/OPERATIONS: 


 
 In line with the goal of becoming the leader in the country and global supplier of bead wire, the installed capacity of tyre bead wire unit increased from 25000 MT to 30000 MT .The overall sales turnover of the Company has increased by 10.04% i.e. from Rs. 1037.400 millions to Rs. 1141.600 millions. Profit before depreciation and tax also increased from Rs. 89.047 millions to Rs. 109.795 millions thereby recording an increase of 23.30% from last year. Net profit after current tax and deferred tax also rose to Rs. 59.612 millions as against Rs. 45.657 millions in last year. This was possible because of improved sales and Company's efforts to save cost of consumables, power and selling and general administration overheads.

 
 
 PROSPECTS: 
 
 The Indian economy continued to showcase buoyancy in its growth parameters, in the presence of a strong backing from a robust industrial growth rate achieved last year. This was reflected by a positively accelerated GDP from 7.5 per cent in 2004-05 to 8.1 per cent in 2005-06


 
 The business prospects of the Company move according to the growth and performance of the Automobile and Tyre industries. The Indian automobile industry exhibited a growth of 20% during FY'05 and has continued to grow at around 16% during last financial year while the Indian tyre industry is growing at 10-12% every year. Additionally, the export of automobiles and tyres, which has recorded a remarkable increase during the last few years, provides their Company a further opportunity for growth .The Indian Road network which is already the second largest in the world with over 3.3 million kilometers, is being further enhanced, which will multiply the tyre consumption thereby increasing the demand for tyre bead wire proportionately

 
 
 While there are many positives as they enter FY07, given the current volatile situation of steel prices, there is some uncertainty about raw material availability and prices and its impact on margins. However their Company has made adequate arrangements for its raw material requirements and has the financial capability to import additional requirement should the need arise.

 
 
 P.C. UNIT:

 
 
 Company’s directors are discussing the long-term prospects of P.C. Wire business and it is being deliberated that P.C. wire business does not fall in line with philosophy and culture of the Company any more. It also takes away valuable management time, which may otherwise be used for the speedy growth of bead wire business. A final view and decision will be taken in the next Financial year but slowing down of business will have an adverse effect on the top line in the coming year though this will have overall positive effect on the bottom line due to more focused efforts.

 
 
 WIND MILL PROJECT:

 
 
 During the year, the Company has purchased four additional wind mills with a total capacity of 1 M.W. from Steel Tubes of India Limited at a cost of Rs. 10.000 millions to further reduce their cost of energy. Investment made in FY05 in one wind mill of 1.25 M.W. has contributed Rs. 8.157 millions as total gross earning through power generation in FY 06


 

 

 DIVIDEND: 
 
 The Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend @ 20% (Rs. 2.00 per Equity Share of Rs. 10 each) for the financial year 2005-2006, which if approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, will be paid to the shareholders whose name appears in the Register of Members as on 10th July 2006.

 
 

 

 

UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS FROM PREFERENTIAL ALLOTMENT:

 
 
 The Company has received Rs.61.322 millions on 31st March 2005, through preferential allotment of 6, 01,200 shares Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.92/- per share. Last year part of proceeds amounting to Rs. 28.750 millions have been utilized to repay part of term loan and the balance was used in the expansion project completed during the year.

 
 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 


 
 1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 
 
 Subject started making tyre bead wire 10 years back that time six more companies were in the business and one more Company entered business after us. Over these years, the Indian tyre bead wire industry has consolidated, while many strong players decided to quit the business, their Company has come to occupy prominent position in the industry which today has only three major players in the Country. Their Company comes in at second position with a domestic market share of 35%. As domestic market share increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to grow at a rate faster than the market rate of about 10-12%. With a view to enhancing their growth prospects, the Company has, over the years, been working towards building an export market.

 
 
 They are happy to report that they have now secured ten international approvals including that from Pirelli, Europe. They would now be supplying to three of the world's top five tyre manufacturers -Bridgestone, Goodyear and Pirelli. They will continue to gain inroads into the remaining to namely German Continental and French Michelin. 
 
 It has been understood during their interaction with multinational tyre companies, that they like to buy from fewer suppliers who have big capacity and technical capabilities. They also want their supplier to supply material to multi locations.

 
 
 As their vision is 'to become a favoured supplier of head wire to global tyre companies' they have to align their efforts in-line with the customer requirements, and to achieve this they need to continuously built their capabilities to supply them at multi locations, which may require us to have facilities overseas as well.

 
 
 2. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:

 
 
 The fate of tyre bead wire industry is linked to the tyre industry, which in turn is linked to the automobile industry, driven by a robust demand, the tyre industry is growing at a rate of about 12% annually. Major demand (60%) of tyres in India comes from replacement market while OEMs and export account for the balance (40%).

 
 
 In the last few years, they have seen some of the Indian tyre companies acquiring businesses overseas and their strong relationship with them will get us more exports.

 
 
 Budget 2006 has been rewarding for tyre industry by way of reduction in custom duties on inputs and increase in duties on imported tyres. And with the government's emphasis on development of infrastructure, particularly roads, the demand for their product is bound to increase in proportion to the increase in tyre production and their Company is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.

 
 
 3. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE v/s OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 
 
 Financial year 2005-06 brought new opportunities of growth for the Company. Simultaneously, operational efficiencies have shown encouraging improvement. This resulted in an improvement in operating margins by 24%, in PBT by 21% and PAT by 31%.

 
 
 The raw material consumption to sales has come down to 64% due to production of more value added product and reduction in wastages. The increase in excise duty is due to increase in the rate by 4% during the year. The manufacturing expenses to sales have increased by 1% due to increase in cost of consumables and energy. The employee cost has increased by 30% on account of higher salaries and increase in the no. of employees for expansion The increase in interest and financial charges is due to interest on term loan for expansion of installed capacity. The increase in depreciation cost is due to increase in gross block by Rs.75.800 millions during the year.
