LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated on 10th October, 1922 at Faridabad in Haryana as a private limited company under the name "The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (India) Limited" having Company Registration Number 8578.

 

In 1961, the company was converted into a public limited liability company and the name was changed to the present.

 

In 1993, a joint venture South Asia Tyres was effected with RPG-Ceat to manufacture steel radial passenger tyres, truck tyres and bias earthmover tyres, earlier imported. Goodyear’s product profile includes ultra large earthmover tyres, which are import substitutes, power tread passenger radial tyres, light and medium commercial truck tyres, farm tyres, automotive tyres, etc, which are marketed under the Goodyear brand.

 

The Company undertook modernisation and expansion of its units to increase productivity. It was accredited with ISO 9002 certification by National Quality Assurance, UK, in 1994. BEML, Coal India, etc, procure their requirement of earthmover tyres from Goodyear. While it previously catered only to Ambassador, Padmini and Premier.

 

In 1999, it launched India’s first 13 inch tubeless as well as tube type H-rated, the Eagle NCT3 which will cater to all the mid-size cars such as Ford Ikon, Honda City, Opel Corsa, Mitsubishi Lancer, Fiat Siena, Maruti Esteem and Baleno etc.

 

Subject has introduced three new products for truck and light truck segments.  They are the Power 200, the Power Torq+ and the Power Max+ targeted at the medium, commercial and light truck segments, respectively.  The new tyres were created with the state-of-the-art computer modelling techniques to reduce tread wear. 

 

The company explored new markets beyond the borders and expanded the areas of its marketing influence in Asia.

 

It is also trading in Automotive Tyres, Flaps, Automotive Tubes, Rubber  Dock Fenders, Transmission Belting, Industrial  V  Belts, Fan Belts and other rubber products.

 

The company's product range includes ultra large earthmover tyres, power tread passenger radial tyres, light and medium commercial truck tyres, farm tyres, automotive tyres, etc. which are marketed under the Goodyear brand. 

 

A Tyre Tube Plant was erected in Haryana on approximately a 70-acre plot of land in Ballabgarh on Delhi-Agra Road.

 

The company has been accredited with ISO 9002 Certification by National Quality Assurance, UK in 1994.

 

During 2005, the company launched a new Rear Farm Tyre 'Sampurna' which was ver well accepted in the Market. During the year under report the companies production capacity of Automotive Tyre stood at 1264 Nos.

Against the current year's profit, which includes a one time income of Rs.96.100 Millions. an amount of Rs.10.900 Millions has been provided towards Fringe Benefit Tax and Rs. 95.100 Millions towards Deferred Tax Minimum Alternate Tax provided for the year under review is Rs.60.400 Millions. Considering reasonable certainty of set off against future tax liability. an asset aggregating to Rs.62.700 Millions has been recorded as minimum alternate tax credit during the year as available under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 

 
During the year, the net sales and other income increased from Rs.6801.500 Millions in the previous year to Rs.8436.400 Millions. The export sales stood at 576.200 Millions. 

 
The depreciation for the year is inclusive of the accelerated depreciation amounting to Rs.10.300 Millions in respect of a category of equipment due for replacement. 

OPERATIONS: 
 
Supply of farm tyres to replacement and original equipment segments, wherein the company holds a key position, continued to be the area of focus of the Company. In order to meet the increased demand for farm tyres, the working period at the Ballabgarh plant was increased. The Company continued to follow its philosophy to provide the high quality products at the lowest cost, coupled with excellent customer services.

Every effort was made under Six Sigma Umbrella to achieve possible savings/ cost reduction. Savings achieved in energy consumption appear in the Annexure to the Directors' Report. 

FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS: 

As reported earlier, the Company had been considering various options to reduce the interest expenses and the foreign exchange risk exposure, and, it is heartening to report that out of the External Commercial Term Loan ('ECB') of US$ 21 Million availed from the Parent Company. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA ('GTR'), the Company repaid US$8.4 Million during the year under review and has also obtained requisite approvals to prepay the balance outstanding portion of US$12.6 Million during the current year. 

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company has agreed to pay GTR a fee for use of their trade name and trademarks @ 1% on domestic sales and 2% on export sales and, accordingly, an amount of Rs.15.200 Millions has been provided in the accounts for the year under review in terms of the agreement entered into with GTR. During the year under review, the Company has also disposed of its investment in 1,13,40,000 equity shares of Goodyear South Asia Tyres Private Limited to a subsidiary of GTR. 

As at the end of December 2006, an amount of Rs. 0.316 Millions of matured deposits remained unclaimed. 

FUTURE OUTLOOK: 

With the economic growth likely to sustain at over 9% and the thrust being placed by the Government on the growth of agriculture and development of infrastructure, the automobile sector/tyre industry are poised for an impressive growth. With the Government's plan to boost farm credit as well as other measures initiated for an estimated 4% growth in the agriculture sector, the Company is increasing its focus on production of farm tyres.

The Company's products are well accepted in the market. 

The market is witnessing continuous upward trend in the prices of raw materials as well as fierce competition. In such an environment, Six Sigma is perceived as an important tool to improve processes or operations to maximize gain/reduce cost. 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

Industry Structure & Developments: 

The growth of the tyre industry depends on various factors including overall GDP growth, agricultural and industrial production, growth in vehicle demand and infrastructure development. The economy is estimated to sustain a growth of over 9%. Despite the fierce competition within the tyre industry, the growth in the economy provides a boost to the automobile and tyre industries. 

Opportunities & Threats: 

As a subsidiary of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, USA, the Company enjoys unstinted support from its parent Company, in all the areas of its operations. This support along with a committed team of associates throughout the Company and a well established dealer network equip the Company to capitalize on the future opportunities and overcome the market challenges. The Government is continuing to emphasize on development of the infrastructure and the agricultural sector which should translate to a growth in the automobile sector and the tyre industry. The Company's activities are increasingly focused on the farm segment. The growth of the farm tyre segment is linked to the agricultural sector which, in turn, is dependent on the monsoon. The trend of rising prices of raw materials, and other inputs, cheaper import of tyres and volatile crude prices are areas of concern for the Indian tyre industry. 

Outlook: 
 
The thrust being placed by the Government on the development of infrastructure, agriculture and manufacturing sectors should result in an impressive growth in the tyre sector too. Companies are now placing a greater emphasis on product innovation, technology, process improvement and operational efficiency to combat the rising trend witnessed in the prices of raw materials and other inputs, which continues to be an area of concern. In this prevailing environment, the Company continues to follow its philosophy to provide the highest quality products to its customers.

The continuous review of activities in different areas of operations, under the umbrella of the Six Sigma system, is an integral part of the Company's strategy to maximize gains and reduce costs in order to meet the market challenges. 

Risks and concerns: 

The local taxes and duties levied by the Governmental authorities have a direct impact on the Company's operations and profitability as its products are largely intended for sale in the domestic market. 

Approximately 22% of sales turnover of the Company was attributable to the sale of products, procured from GSATPL, primarily to wholesale dealers in the replacement market, pursuant to the off-take agreement with the said company. This off-take agreement is on a non-exclusive basis and can be terminated by either party after giving four months' notice. 

As in the past, the Company has obtained insurance coverage for its assets- However, no cover for the foreign exchange risk was obtained by the Company for the outstanding External Commercial term loan (`ECB') and other foreign exchange exposures. Efforts are being made to reduce the foreign exchange risk exposure by prepaying the entire outstanding ECB of US $ 12.6 Million during the year 2007, for which the Company has already received the requisite approval. Certain demands/disputes raised against the Company, pending final adjudication, are the other areas of concern. The Company has blocked certain funds in order to secure a few of these demands in terms of the Court order(s).

Goodyear India Limited

Goodyear's presence in India is over 80 years old, with two plants, one each in Ballabgarh and Aurangabad.

A chronology of Goodyear's continued success in India is as follows:

1922: Goodyear tyre and Rubber company Akron, Ohio entered the Indian Market.

1961: Goodyear India's own manufacturing facility was inaugurated in Ballabgarh, 32 kms from India’s capital New Delhi .The plant had an investment of US $12million and was commissioned within 12 months.

1965: The Ballabgarh plant was expanded which increased the plant production by 35%

1969-70: The production increased by nearly 100%

1993: Goodyear formed a 50-50 joint venture with South- Asian Tyres Limited (SATL) at Aurangabad to manufacture state-of-art radial tyres for car and light truck and bias construction tyres for graders and earthmovers.

1996: The first tyre GPS2 radial Passenger was rolled out from Aurangabad plant

1998: SATL becomes a fully owned Goodyear Company

1999: A significant investment of 9.3 MM USD was made in the farm tyre manufacturing process.

2002: Goodyear becomes the first tyre manufacturer to roll out tubeless tyres on Indian roads.

In the passenger car segment, Goodyear supplies tyres to many of the leading Original Equipment Manufacturers in India. These include Maruti, Telco, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ford, Fiat and many more.

Goodyear India has been a pioneer in introducing tubeless radial tyres in the passenger car segment.

In the farm segment Goodyear tyres are supplied to all the major Tractor manufacturers like PTL, ITL, TAFE, Eicher and Escorts. Similarly, for buses and trucks, vehicles rolling out of the assembly line of the leading OEMs like TELCO, Ashok Leyland, and Swaraj Mazda are often seen with Goodyear tyres.

Goodyear commands a major market share in the Off The Road (OTR) segment by being a major supplier to Coal India Limited, Escorts, L&T, TISCO and major steel plants of the country.

Spreading its wings outside the geographical boundaries of the country Goodyear India exports tyres to other countries, both in the and beyond. These include Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Australia, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Philippines.
