LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

After the major upheaval experienced in 2008-09, an atmosphere of uncertainty prevailed during the year 2009-10. Forecasts for the year 09-10 varied widely and moreover were being constantly revised in view of this uncertainty. However, the Indian economy showed resilience in this environment after the lows of the last two quarters of 08-09. Initial estimates showed that the economic growth was at over 7%, with steady growth in industrial output and the Construction Sector as well. Growth in the Mining and Quarrying Sectors were also robust. During the year, the uncertainty in the flow of credit to the Construction Equipment (CE) Industry eased up, though certain controls in lending still continued. The stimulus package unveiled by the government to restore confidence in the economy helped. In terms of investment, initiatives under Bharat Nirman including rural roads, housing, and water supply continued to drive demand for CE industry, while the Road Sector did not show a promising growth as expected. Mining output, especially coal and iron ore production witnessed a growth, and this boosted the demand for large class Excavators and Dumpers.

 

The trend of intensified competition continued in the form of aggressive pricing of strategies adopted by new entrants. While world markets had slowed down dramatically, India was one of few markets showing a smart recovery and growth. New players, especially from China and Korea, tried to cash-in the situation by trading at aggressive prices, while some of them had also commenced production in India. This resulted in some of the new entrants taking the lead over a few existing players and penetrating the market. During the year, this situation had extended to the crane market too, which was further impacted by import of used machines.

 

OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITS

 

Despite the intense competition and the after effects of the slowdown, the Company had performed fairly well during the year and sold 5405 machines (5194 machines in 2008-09). During the year, the Company retained its market leadership in the excavator segment, and introduced a variety of improvements in its operations, whereby it was able to deliver a growth of 22% in its profitability.

 

OPERATIONS

 

During the year, all the plants had focused on debottlenecking the capacities in line with the Company’s strategic plans, and delivering on quality benchmarks. In the first year of its operations, Kharagpur plant rolled out 195 units of Excavators and Dumpers. In addition to the regular production, prototypes for certain new models were also rolled out, namely, ZX75 Excavator, X3 Compactor and TM06 Concrete Mixer.

 

Introduction of new models and improved versions helped the Company widen the range of its products catering to a variety of applications. Also, this enabled the Company to address and capture opportunities in demand, especially in the Mining Sector, in the year 2009-10. This partially helped in building up the volumes, while the market for smaller machines was still under pressure in the aftermath of the recession. Despite this, the Company retained its dominance in small and mid-sized excavators. It continued its focus on imported products, which helped it in seeding the market with technologically superior products to facilitate manufacturing them in-house subsequently. Revenue from spare parts recorded a growth of 11%, over last year and income from services increased by 73% on the strength of new maintenance contracts especially for larger equipment.
