The Company's business is organized into three major Groups: 

 Revenue % 

 Material Handling Group 27Construction Equipment Group 49Power Systems Group 24 

 The emphasis on infrastructure development has been continuing and this has led to a number of large sized projects coming up all over the country in the field of power, steel, oil, coal, communication; roads and highways. There has been greater participation by private sector companies resulting in additional potential for business and increased order intake. The market for Construction Equipment, Material Handing Equipment and Power Systems promises a bright prospect. The Company is poised to consolidate its leadership position to be in consonance with the growth of India's core infrastructure sectors. 

 
 SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE 

 MATERIAL HANDLING GROUP 

 The Material Handling Group has contributed 27% of the Company's revenue. With the increased investments in the infrastructure sector, this Business Group has shown encouraging results with healthy order book position and introduction and supply of new product Electric Level Luffing Crane. Despite adverse impact on costs of raw materials, margins have been maintained. Implementation of ERP systems and outsourcing coupled with product updation have resulted in maintaining its market leadership. 

 
 The Group has secured a major contract for supply of mobile cranes for upcoming Reliance Petroleum Refinery in Jamnagar


 This Business Group has undertaken initiatives for exploring opportunities of growing crane market in Middle East and South East Asia


 To be able to provide to customers world-class services, major thrust is on to secure Operation and Maintenance Contract, Annual Maintenance Contract, major overhaul. 


CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP 

The Group accounted for 49% of Company's revenue during the year under review. With significant increase in investment in infrastructure sector in general and Mining activities in particular, the Group's sales registered a growth of 47%. 

 

In the Mining sector, Tata Steel continued to repose their confidence on TIL by placing orders for their requirement of equipment for the Phase III of the South Eastern Block Project at West Bokaro along with Maintenance and Repair Contract (MARC). With increased spending by government Coal Companies, the Company was able to secure a large order from Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. for Dumpers. 
 
Development of roads and highways also witnessed accelerated investment. TIL was able to secure major orders rom Road contractors like SOMA, KMC, Punj Llyod, Madhucon. 

 
TIL had reached yet another milestone in its journey to become total solutions provider when its first Rental Store was launched in 2005. The rental market in India is poised for a huge growth and TIL is geared to capture a sizeable market share. Efforts will further be made to differentiate Company's rental service from competitors and in the process develop strong brand equity. 

 TIL's latest service solution, 365 Days Service, is already being viewed as a path breaking approach in product support service in the country and has been greatly appreciated by customers and their principal. This is expected to result in enhanced customer satisfaction and lead to increased sales and more customer support agreements. 
 
 POWER SYSTEMS GROUP 

 With the power shortages continuing and new gas connections being available in the National Capital Region (NCR) there was a significant growth in demand for Gensets. The sales revenue grew by 48% during the current year. TIL secured turnkey orders from the Real Estate sector and the Manufacturing sector for 21 MW of Gas Gensets. Focus on the construction sector resulted in significantly higher market share for TIL Diesel Gensets. During the year, TIL built a segmented sales approach to provide tailor-made solutions to the customers. 
 
 TIL is further being recognized for innovative customer service solutions. A perfect testament to this is the installation of the Gas Gensets at DLF's Infinity Building, Cyber City, Gurgaon. TIL was awarded a contract by DLF in preference to foreign bidders for supply of 7 CAT Gas Gensets for continuous pollution-free power. TIL is operating and maintaining these Gensets for uninterrupted power supply (24 X 365) and the engine exhaust and the hot water is being recycled to generate over 3000 Tons of air-conditioning during summer (and heating during winter). This economic and eco friendly power solution is the first in India and a validation of TIL's continuous efforts to provide real value and total solutions to customers. 


 
The product support capabilities of the Company have been recognized by ONGC. ONGC has entrusted TIL with the task of rehabilitation of their power packs for the land electric drill rigs. 


OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS 

 India is now among the fastest growing economies in the world, with a current GDP growth at 7-8%. In PPP (purchasing power parity) terms, the growth puts India amongst the top four in the world. As India emerges as one of the largest economies in the world, the Government plans to invest $200 billion on infrastructure projects over the next 5 years. Projects like the Golden Quadrilateral, modernization of ports, highways and airports are part of the development plan. India has also been rated as the second most attractive FDI destination by AT Kearney and UNCTAD and has also been identified as a key market by their principals. 

 
The sustained month-end dollar demand amid reduced foreign funds inflows over the last months has weakened the rupee. The economic outlook is a little uncertain due to the rise of crude oil prices. The rise and focus on Infrastructural development, has attracted global players in the market and hence stiffer competition. The Company is conscious of the situation and appropriate actions are in place to enhance market share for Caterpillar products and products manufactured in-house, by using state of the art technology and providing world-class after sales service. 


 RISKS & CONCERNS 

 The heavy engineering industry is raw material intensive and is subject to price fluctuation. Any increase in price of raw materials will have adverse impact on the margin. Further, any increase on interest rate may adverse, affect profitability. Depreciation of the Rupee is an added worry. High rate of mobility of talent is a common problem in most businesses. The Company is addressing these in a structured manner. 


 RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK 

The Company has created a Risk Management Framework to anticipate and address risks in a comprehensive manner. A Risk Register has been created which captures risks identified by the management. For each of the risks, mitigation actions are specified. CEO & CFO will periodically review the risk mitigation process and report to the Board. The emphasis is to incorporate risk management into the culture, language and operations of the business. 
 
 -SIGMA 
TIL adopted 6-Sigma which has the power to provide an energetic new direction and raise business success to unprecedented levels. Launched in 2002, TIL is already witnessing growth benefits, cost savings, efficiencies and quality improvements achieved through their 6-Sigma initiative. 


 TIL's 6-Sigma project, Speedier Service Support was awarded President's Gold award among the Asia Pacific Dealers of Caterpillar. This is a testament to the fact that 6-Sigma is the way TIL does business ; 6-Sigma is embedded in TIL.
