LOCAL AGENCY
FURTHER INFORMATION
HISTORY:
Subject was
incorporated on 18th January, 2001 at Bangalore in Karnataka having
Company Registration Number 28483.
The company was
incorporated with an Authorized Capital of Rs. 5.00 millions and increased the same
many times. Currently the Authorized Capital of the company is Rs. 600.00
millions.
The company
recently opened two super bazaar at Yeshwantpur and Kanakapura Main Road,
Bangalore.
About Company
The company is
based on Business-to-Business (B2B) concept and focuses on meeting all the
needs and requirements of business customers. In a “Cash and Carry” operation
customers do their own order picking, normally pay in cash and carry the
merchandise away.
As is well known
the B2B concept is distinct from B2C (Business to Consumer) format as the first
one is a transaction between two businesses (a modern format of wholesale
trading) whereas the other is a transaction between a business enterprise and a
consumer (one who does not shop to carry on any commercial activity).
Transactions between two business can be where the purchaser is purchasing for
trading/reselling or for processing/conversion into other products which will
sell (e.g. Vegetables and meat, etc purchased by restaurants), or for use while
conducting their commercial activity (e.g. Stationery, etc. used by an office,
coffee/beverages, etc for canteen). The company deal with business customers
and the business model does not allow for access to the distribution Center for
the general public.
The target groups
of the company’s concept are businesses and companies like caterers, hotels,
restaurants, retailers and commercial customers, as well as service providers,
small office and institutions like hospitals and canteens.
Operational
Performance:
The year 2003
was a memorable one, with the inauguration of two state of the art Cash and
Carry complexes (“Distribution Centres”) both at Bangalore. The Distribution
Centre at Subramanyanagar (Yeshwantpur was inaugurated on the 20.10.2003, while
that at Kanakapura was inaugurated on 13.11.2003. With the commencement of
operation, the company has been the foremost to establish Cash and Carry
Complexes in India, which is unique trading platform for modern business needs.
Challenges/ Resistance
To Company’s Operations:
The
establishment of cash and Carry complexes created some resistances from the
certain quarters of the trade associations in India, who have filed writ
petitions at the high court of Karnataka and New Delhi. They have prayed that
the company be restrained from carrying on cash & carry operations,
alleging that the company has been engaging in retail trade activities, wherein
Foreign Direct Investment in not permitted. In the mean time, looking in to the
complaints received from various trade associations the Secretariat for
Industrial Assistance (SIA) has started an Investigation and issued a show
cause notice to the company. The company has responded to the issue raised by
SIA and has provided the required information. The matter is being looked in to
by the SIA. The directors do not foresee any adverse impact of aforesaid issues
on the operations of the company.

Concept
Here the advantages over traditional wholesale operations are the better
price / performance rate, the wide scope of the food and nonfood assortments,
assurance as to maintenance of quality and weighment, assured regular
availability of the merchandise and the longer business hours per week.
METRO Cash and Carry's Distribution Centres create a
new supply chain infrastructure for food and general merchandise products for
"business to business" transactions. In effect, these Distribution
Centres bring together, under one roof, small medium and large sized producers,
farmers, agricultural cooperatives and manufacturers on one hand with the
dispersed community of hotels, restaurants, caterers, traders, retailers and
small to medium business enterprises on the other.
The
Benefits of Cash and Carry
The direct contact between the producer and business
customers provided by subject investment in what is essentially distribution
infrastructure makes the supply chain much more efficient. This brings benefits
to both, producers / suppliers and business customers, as well as to the
economy as a whole. Some of these advantages are
· For Small Retailers / Traders
· Special benefits to Food Producers
