The company’s exports to Yazaki Corporation increased form Rs. 66 million to Rs. 123 million with the addition of new customer programs.  The company has received orders for new customer program and suppliers would commence the current financial year.

 

Industry Structure and development 

 

Industry scenario

 

2004-05 was a year of continued growth and built on the growth of the past two years. Demand growth was very strong across all segments, and this has created a very positive feeling across the industry.

 

The growth drivers continue to be higher industrial activity, lower interest rates, improved credit facilities and a strong agricultural growth. Launch of several new models also strengthened the demand for vehicles.

 

In 2004-05 production in the passenger vehicles witnessed a growth of 20 % while commercial vehicles witnessed a growth of 36 %. Tractor production increased by 26 % and is showing a strong growth charter after the growth in 2002-03 which was after recording decline for four continuous years. Two wheelers production witnessed a growth of 16 % supported by lower interest rates and a spate of new launches.

 

 

The industry is increasingly upgrading its products to global quality and standards. The gap between a global launch and launch in India is also reducing. However emission norms implementation did hit a major hitch with the pullback of Euro Ii implementation in six Northern states. More industry than the action, the delayed implementation of the decision just few days before the deadline has hit supply chain and planning schedules, especially in the commercial vehicles industry.

 

India is attracting attention as a global sourcing location. Specifically, Hyundia, Suzuki, Ford and Tata Motors are increasing their export production significantly. The company hopes and believes that this situation would change in the current year and investments in roads ports and airport would again be on the governments agenda. A positive note is the investments in rural development and agriculture which would deepen the overall economic growth.

 

The company also believes that the Government and needs to dialogue continuously to ensure that the country’s interest would be protected while dealing with the realities of a multi – lateral world and FATs.

 

Overall the company believes that  the automotive sector would continue to show growth and have strong long term potential.

 

Status of initiatives

 

During the year company increased its production capacity by 75000 Manhour p. m. by setting up a new factory building at the same location. The company underwent  its first assessment with TBEM and scored 207 in its first assessment.

 

Opportunities and Threats for the Company

 

The company believes that it has great growth opportunity both in the domestic market and also with exports. In the domestic market. The company is the largest suppliers to automakers who are in an aggressive growth curve in the Indian market. The customer is well placed to win the business for all new programs of General Motors, Tata Motors, Honda Siel and Toyota Kirloskar.

 

Claims not acknowledgments as debts :

The company has received a demand notice from the Ventral Excise department for Rs. 3052 thousand against which an appeal has been field.

Bills discounted with bank outstanding as on March 31, 2005 : Rs. 174.819 millions

 

Excise Duty  

 

In January, 2005, the central excise authorities had detected certain significant regulatory lapses in the manner in which goods manufactured in the Export oriented Unit of the company were cleared to domestic customers and the consequent shortfall in payments of excise duties on such clearances.

 

Consequent to this the company has paid the deficient duties of Rs. 116.072 millions. these payments have been provided for in the accounts of the company for the year ended march 2005. However no provision has been made in the accounts for any penalties that may be levied due to regulatory lapses since the authorities have so far not made any demand for the same and the same are not ascertainable on a reasonably accurate basis. The penalties could be levied under the provisions of the Central Excise Act , 1944, the Customs Act, 1962. and the Foreign Trade Development and Regulation Act, 1992.

 

NFE Calculations

 

Vide letter dated 15th July 2002, the SEEPZ authorities has laid down condition on the company to achieve an average Net Foreign Exchange Earning as a percentage of Exports of 2 % over the period of five years form the date of commencement of commercial productions.

 

The company has entered into an agreement for import of capital goods of Rs. 136.031 millions on CIF basis and is requirement to achieve an export turnover of Rs. 675.023 millions during the same period failing which the company may be liable for penal action. The company has also been permitted to purchase indigenous capital goods, components and raw material without payment of Central Excise Duty, wherever applicable and import raw material, components and consumable free of import duty.

 

The excess of foreign exchange outflow over foreign exchange earnings of Rs. 241.310 millions as at the end of the current year is in excess of the projections by Rs. 208.460 millions. the company excepts to make up the shortfall in the future years. In the opinion over the period of the agreement.

 

Going Concern

 

The company has incurred a loss of Rs. 144.898 millions during the year and as at that date the accumulated losses amount to Rs. 433.611 millions resulting in a substantial erosion of the company net worth. However the account have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assurance of the continuance of the existing business and ongoing financial support form the shareholders of the company to the company.
