The company caters to OEM market, replacement market and export market. 

 
The company came out with an Rights Offer in April, 1991, to part-finance its modernisationa and technology upgradation projects. It has put up a full-fledged Research and Development unit in a separate new building. It's EOU (100%) unit set up in collaboration with FAG Kugelfishcer Georg Schaefer, Germany to produce Cylindrical roller bearings at Vadodara has commenced production in February 1997.  

 
The company is taking up an quality improvement programme from the year 2000 under which the company has spent Rs.341.400 Millions over the last two years and installed new machines and the rebuilt the other machines. 
 
The company has gone for expansion during the year 2002 in respect of Ball & Roller Bearings.The installed capacity of Ball & Roller Bearings has been increased by 50000(Nos). 

 
FAG India along with FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer AG (FAG AG) in association with the Chadha family has promoted an JV company in the name of FAG Roller Bearings Private Limited for the manufacture of taper roller bearings at a plant in Pune. Out of the total estimated investment the two FAG companies FAG India & FAG AG are contributing 51%(Jointly) of equity amounting to Rs.54.800 Millions and Rs.13.700 Millions respectively and the balance 49% (Rs.26.900 Millions) would be contributed by Chadha family.

During the year 2004, the company has increased its installed capacity of Ball & Roller Bearings by 1153000 (Nos). Ultimately, the total installed capacity stood as 26381000 (Nos).

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: 

 
The Company's sales have been consistently growing at a rate better than the growth of the bearing industry in India. The Company realised sales growth of 32.3% (2005: 25.5%) due to demand increase in all the segments owing to strong industrial growth.  

 
Gross Operating Profit increased by 51% (2005: 42.2%). Profit Before Tax (PBT) was higher by 61.5% (2005: 58.4%) and Profit After Tax (PAT) was higher by 54.2% (2005: 62.7%). 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS: 

 
Indian Bearing market size is estimated at Rs.41 billion. Approximately one third of this demand is catered through imports and the balance through indigenous production. The sales of the organised Bearing Industry in India are estimated at Rs.23 billion. The Bearing Industry experienced a significant growth of 18% during the year 2006. The Company's sales during the year 2006 shot up by 32.3%, much higher than the growth in the industry. FAG's share in the total bearing market is around 14%. 

 
The fortune of the Bearing Industry in India is linked mainly to the growth of the automotive industry. Based on declared figures, 2006 was consecutively a good year for the automotive industry, which recorded a growth of over 16%. This is up from 14.5% growth witnessed in 2005. The growth in Passenger Vehicle Industry including Utility Vehicles was 18.5% during 2006. This is in contrast to 7% growth witnessed in 2005, which was not so impressive. The overall growth in Commercial Vehicle Industry was very healthy at 32%. The growth of Two Wheeler Industry especially motorcycle, (which had been growing at a faster pace for the past few years) stabilized at around 16%. The Tractor Industry that faced one of the worst years in recent times has bounced back and is clearly on a revival path. The demand from Railways - another important market segment - remained steady during the year. 

 
OEM industries, such as two-wheeler, are facing price competition in their own markets and continue to exert price pressure on the local bearing suppliers. In face of the accelerated demand from the automotive industry and other sectors like steel, power & heavy engineering due to general economic revival, the market environment is favorable for the Bearing Industry. 

 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: 

 
Opportunities: 
 
Indian economy seems to grow at 9% in the FY 2007 supported by strong growth in Industry and in Service Sector. Due to the continued momentum in the economic growth (supported by over 10% growth in the industry), the demand outlook of Bearing Industry seems to be very positive. The Bearing Industry is expected to grow over 10%. The Company's focus on expansion in capacity would result in improvement in the cost of production and would also enable the Company to improve its market share even under the competitive market conditions. 
 
Threats: 
 
The Company with a brand of very high repute is prone to the menace of counterfeit and spurious manufacturers, which has increased over the years. The Company has been very conscious about such developments and has undertaken specific measures like 'Technology and Brand Safeguards with the help of detective and intelligence agencies, Quality Assurance, etc.' to overcome spurious activities. 

 
The customs duty is expected to reduce further, which may result in cheaper import of bearings and also put pressure on domestic Bearing Industry due to increase in competition from the international markets. Increase in prices of steel, which is the basic raw material may put pressure on cost. 

 
SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE: 

 
The business of the Company falls under a single segment i.e. 'Ball/Roller Bearings and related components' for the purpose of Accounting Standard AS-17. 

 
OUTLOOK: 
 
The continued momentum in the economic growth supported by strong industrial growth will undoubtedly unwrap opportunities of growth in the Bearing Industry. 

 
The Indian automotive sector is one of the fastest growing market. World majors are focusing on launching number of new utility vehicles and two wheelers in upcoming years. The Company expects continuous increase in demand from Automobile and other industries. The strong and consistent financial performance, quality consciousness and customer reliance unquestionably have been the areas of their strength, which sprout a sense to appear in the market as strong competitor to grab these growth opportunities. 

 

FINANCE: 
 
A phenomenal performance from all corners has made this year distinguished compared to previous years, wherein the Company has crossed the turnover of Rs. 5000 Millions. This has led to the Company emerging as a strong financial entity. 

 
Whereas, sales during the year is recorded up by 32.3% over 2005, due to judicious utitlisation of resources, they were able to achieve a remarkable increase in net profit by 54%. 

 
The Company has brought down the debt to nil, which has resulted in substantial improvement in the liquidity. The Company's continued focus on optimising its working capital has also supported the liquidity position. Due to optimization in utilisation of resources, the return on capital employed has improved to 46% (2005: 36%). 
 
HUMAN RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS: 

 
The Company recognises Human Resources as its biggest strength, which has resulted in getting acknowledgement that the Company is the right destination where with the growth of the organisation, value addition of individual employees is assured. This establishment has been contributing a lot to the State by generating new employment opportunities and in attracting talent. With the end of this year the employees' strength has reached 1157. 

 
During the course of last year, the Company conducted training programmes for its employees. The Company has a strong policy for reward and bonus to performing employees. The Company is also providing them a chance to explore their talents by encouraging and assisting them to appear in national level competitions. This has been proved in the 20th National Quality Circle Competition recently organised by NCQC at Kanpur wherein their 'FAG SAMRAT' Quality Circle has won the Award of 'Excellent'. 

 
Industrial relations during the year continued to be cordial and peaceful. The Directors place on record the excellent co-operation and contribution made by the employees at all levels of the organization to the continued growth of the Company. 

 
Information as per Section 217(2A) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with the Companies (Particular of Employees) Rules, 1975 forms part of this Report. The Managing Director is the only employee covered by these Rules and details of his remuneration are covered in the Annual Report.
