LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

Subject was incorporated on 29th January 1979 at Pune in Maharashtra having Company Registration Number 20959.

 

The company was originally incorporated under the name and style of Ellora Engineering Company Private Limited and was converted into public limited company in 1992. The name of the company was changed to present in the same year. It commenced commercial production in 1981.

 

The company has commercialised its metal forms division’s 1000 tons press out of the total 3500 tons press capacity in 1998-99.

 

The company has completed a small project in 1995-96, at a cost of Rs. 40 milions for manufacturing machined components and axle tube assemblies.  This project is undertaken with an object to supply to Telco and Export Market.

 

The company has undertaken a second expansion project in 1997-98, at a capital outlay of Rs. 180 millions at the land adjacent to existing site of the company at Koregaon Bhima.

 

The company has commercialised its metal forms division’s 1000 tons press out of the total 3500 ton press capacity in 1998-99.  The company has also started commercial production from its warm forging plant and cold forging plant in 1999-2000 and 2000-01, respectively. 

 

The development of warm and cold forgings has enabled the company to get into manufacture of tulip for the CV joint assembly and all four stroke items for 2 wheelers.

 

Subject is the first company of its kind in the country to use press forging technology to manufacture precision closed die forgings in the small weight range (upto a maximum of 8 kg).  Its products include complex profile items, extrusion forgings, besides shafting and gear items.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Industry Structure and Developments :- 

India's economic fundamentals have been strongly established over the last many years and the world has bought the INDIA GROWTH STORY for the many years to come. 

 
Very recently, world's largest rating agency Standard and Poors has upgraded India's rating to Investment Grade. This is in addition to that of Moody's and Fitch's who had earlier upgraded India's rating to Investment Grade This is the reflection of the country's economic prospects. 

 
The Indian automotive industry has grown at a staggering pace over the last few years. The US$ 6.8 billion industry has registered a CAGR of 17% between 1998-2003 and is projected by ACMA (Auto Components Manufacturers Association of India) to grow at a 15% CAGR till fiscal 2012. 

 
The opening up of the sector over the last decade has caught the attention of global auto majors as the only market rivaling China in terms of potential market size and growth opportunity. As the automobile industry has grown and matured, the Indian auto components industry has also grown tremendously, and is rapidly achieving global competitiveness both in terms of cost and quality. Infact, industry observers think that while Indian automobile market will grow at a measured pace, the auto components industry is poised for a take-off and is one of the handful of industries where India has a distinct competitive advantage. 

 
As these companies developed and stabilized their Indian operations, they realized the cost advantage of manufacturing components in India - typically lower by about 30%. They began to explore the possibility of exporting back these low cost, high quality components to their global factories and thus reduce their overall costs. 

Opportunities and Threats 

Currently, the Company is supplying its various products to almost all major two wheelers as well as four wheelers manufacturers in India. There are many Forging Companies who are trying to be more competitive than Kalyani Forge. Automobile OEMs are likely to take advantage of this by way of not fully compensating steel price increase and conversion cost increase, which has been happening for the last one year too frequently.

 

However, Company is confident of managing this since they are into manufacture of critical components like connecting rod and they have also forayed into precision machining, which was their handicap few years back.

 

Also the Company is diversifying into non-automotive segments like defence projects, valves, mining products and railway products, in which volumes would be less, but there are good margins. 

 
In addition, Company is seeking lot of export opportunities and with export as a thrust area, the Company would be able to survive and grow amidst intense competition. 

 

Segment: 
Company has only one segment viz. Forging. 

 

Outlook:- 

Company has finalized its business plan for Financial Year 2007-08, which is likely to scale up the gross turnover to about Rs. 3000.000 millions. 

 

The Company has added many machine lines in its 3rd Unit at Sanaswadi, Pune like machining line for Cummins connecting rod, machining line for nozzle rings for Turbocam USA and Taylor and Whitely UK, machining line for supplying gear blanks to VCST Belgium and machining line for supplying fracture-split connecting rod for MAN Trucks of Force Motors. 

 
The Company has plan to set up fracture-split connecting rod machining line catering to two more Companies for export. The supplies after PPAP lot would start during the III and IV Quarter of the F.Y. 2007-08. Company is already delivering machined connecting rods to Cummins USA, which will reach a level of 2250 Nos. per month from July, 2007 onwards.
