The company which was incorporated in April 1962 as Precision Bearings (India) is a leading manufacturer in its area of operation. 

 
The company which started with technical collaboration with Norma Hoffman, US has entered into a technical-cum-financial collaboration with FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer and its associate company GUJ Jaegr in 1966-67. FAG, Germany, has a 51% stake in the company. 

 
Apart from Ball and Roller(both Cylindrical and Spherical) bearings its product range also includes taper roller bearings, needle roller bearings. In the Spherical roller bearing segment the company is the market leader with around 56% of market share and the company is also has an significant marketshare of around 35% and 19% in the cylindrical roller bearing and ball bearing segment respectively. 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 and Roller Bearings.The installed capacity of Ball and Roller Bearings has been increased by 50000(Nos). 

 
Subject 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 Subject and 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. The company which was incorporated in Nov.26, 2001 and commenced production.

During the year 2004, the company has increased its installed capacity of Ball and 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. Despite sluggish demand in Two Wheeler Industry the Company has realised sales growth of 18% (2006: 32.3%). 
 
 The Profit Before Tax (PBT) was higher by 13% (2006: 61.5%). 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS: 

 
Indian Bearing market size is estimated at Rs. 54 billion. Approximately 45% of this demand is met through imports and the
balance is met through indigenous products. In domestic market (without Imports), the sales of the organised bearing industry in India are estimated at Rs. 24.0 billion. The bearing industry recorded a growth of 7% during the year 2007 in terms of sales value. Subject total sales during the year 2007 shot up by 17%. Subject's share in the total market is around 13%. 

 
 The fortunes of the bearing industry in India are linked to the growth of the automotive industry. Based on declared figures, 2007 was not an impressive year. While the Passenger Vehicle and Light Commercial Vehicle sales continued to remain buoyant, the overall automotive industry as such hardly grew. The growth of Passenger Vehicles including Utility Vehicles was 13.6% during 2007. While the growth in Light Commercial Vehicle was 17.2%, the overall growth in commercial vehicle industry was at 9.7%. The two wheeler industries registered a negative growth of 2.6%. The tractor industry that bounced back in the previous year too showed a negative trend. The demand from Railways - another important market segment - remained flat 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. The growth of Indian middle class with increasing purchasing power along with strong growth of economy over a past few years will undoubtedly accelerate demand from the automotive industry and other sectors like steel, power and heavy engineering, thus providing a favourable market environment for the bearing industry. 

 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: 

 

 Opportunities: 
 
 The last four years have witnessed impressive rates of industrial growth. In 2006-07 the industrial growth was a splendid 11.5%, while the rate of growth of manufacturing was even higher at 12.5%. Though growth of manufacturing has slightly decreased in FY 07 on account of slackening of consumer durables sector, the smart growth in capital goods is suggestive of significant addition to industrial capacity. 

 
 Indian economy seems to grow at around 9% in the FY 08. All economic indicators show that the buoyancy in overall growth trend is expected to continue in the coming year. Demand outlook for the year 2008 is quite positive. Subject with its uncompromising commitment to global standards of excellence and vast experience in Indian market is 'future ready'. 

 

Threats: 
 
 Over the last few years, there has been sharp increase in the prices of steel which forms the basic material for bearing. The overall margins of bearing manufacturers are under severe pressure. 

 
 The peak customs duty on imports in India has progressively declined over a decade. There is a likelihood of government slashing peak customs duty rates further in 2008 to fall in line with Asian levels. The cut in duty will make imports cheaper and resultant increase in import volumes especially from China and Eastern Europe will intensify of competition for domestic bearing industry. 

 
 India has been globally acknowledged as a high growth economy. The highly favourable economic outlook has attracted many new global bearing players to participate in the fast growing Indian market. Besides, most of the existing leading domestic players are making investments to enhance the production capacities and benefit from the demand buoyancy. 

 
 The industry has to be on guard against the menace of counterfeit (i.e. spurious bearings) which has-increased over the last few years, in spite of serious efforts taken by industry to check it. 

 
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: 
 
There has been marked change in the way the Indian economy is viewed, both within the country and in other countries of the world. This is largely due to the sustained, well directed efforts of the government that have resulted in globally acclaimed rates of economic growth, increased global competitiveness of Indian industries, strong macro fundamentals and a highly favourable economic outlook. In the face of the huge opportunities provided by the automobile sector, capital goods industry and sizzling Indian economy, the Company expects build up of demand from various industries, which will provide growth to the bearing industry. 

 

FINANCE: 
 
RISK AND CONCERNS: 

 
 While the overall demand outlook for the year 2008 remains good, the Company expects that there will be risk on its margins on account of intense competition from the unorganized sector in the domestic industry and flow of cheap imports of bearings from China and other low cost countries. To dilute this risk besides any cyclic fluctuations in bearing demand from Automotive or various other industries, the Company will focus on technologically advanced and more profitable products/market segments. 


 The Company will continue to work in the areas of higher productivity, better efficiency and cost reductions in order to control costs. 

 
 INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY: 


  The Company has an adequate Internal Audit System that cultivates reliable financial reporting, safeguard assets, encourage adherence to Management Policies as well as Schaeffler Group Guidelines and Specifications as far as they are applicable and promote ethical conduct. The strong Internal Control Systems have been designed in such a way that, not only does it prevent fraud and misuse of the Company's resources but also protect shareholders' interest. 

 
 The Company has appointed an Audit Committee, which on regular intervals, in co-ordination with Internal and Statutory Auditors review the adequacy of Internal Control System within the Company. 

 
 The Company has an independent Internal Audit Department. The internal audit procedures constantly monitor the controls and any feedback directly reported to the management of the Company. All audit findings are reported in a structured manner with suggestions and recommendations from the audit department in consideration of 'Internal' as well as 'Schaeffler Group' guidelines and procedures. All transactions are authorised as per the Schaeffler Group's Approval and Signature Guidelines, which are being recorded and reported in an organised manner. 

 
 Based upon the recommendations of Audit Committee, an Annual Audit Plan (AAP) is prepared by the Internal Audit Department, which is reviewed periodically by the top management and the Audit Committee. 

 
 FINANCE: 

 
 The year 2007 has been extremely challenging specially for the Bearing Industry, which has recorded a growth of 7% much lower than expected (2006: 18%). With this at one side where industry was working hard to maintain the growth rate, it was tough to snatch the desired margin in the highly competitive market. Even in such a situation the Company was able to register growth and crossed the turnover of Rs. 6400.000 Millions but with comparative fewer margins, which resulted in profit before tax growth of 14%.
