LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Vis-Ŕ-Vis COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

During the year 2009-10, the Indian economy in general and industrial sector in particular has shown excellent growth. This is in sharp contrast to previous year in which the global recession has impacted the performance of all the sectors including the auto sector. The current trends indicate a smooth run for the auto component industry. The cumulative production data for April- March 2010 shows production growth of 25.76% for the same period last year.

 

In line with the revival of the economy, the Company has shown excellent performance during the year. During the year the Company has achieved a turnover of Rs.3315.491 millions as compared to Rs.2004.294 millions during the previous year, thereby showing an increase by 65.42 %. The Net Profit of the Company has increased by over 96.19 % from Rs.91.919 millions in previous year to Rs.180.332 millions in the current year.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

In the current scenario, the Indian auto component industry is one of the few sectors in the economy that has a distinct global competitive advantage in terms of cost and quality. The Company is taking all necessary steps to minimize its cost at all level of operations to meet the stiff competition. In order to expand its business, the Company has acquired die casting, surface finishing and other market business for four wheelers during the year. In order to remain competitive and being a global leader in the Auto Ancillary Sector Company has taken various initiatives towards product enrichment, diversification and consolidation. The Company remains committed to adding new product ranges as per the global market surge. Continuous innovation and Research and Development on the existing product range were carried out throughout the year. The Company is taking various steps to enhance its product range and capacity.

 

FUTURE PLAN OF ACTION

 

Innovation will be the key word for all future developments. In Mechanical and Electronic Security Systems, products with innovative features will be developed. Company will focus on filing patents to protect its IPR. Besides OEM's market, focus will also be given to after market, especially for motor cycles and car accessories, electronic securities systems with advanced features.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW

 

India has taken numerous steps through the implementation of a broad based counter-cyclic policy package to respond to the negative fallout of the global slowdown. Amidst all the havoc of the financial crisis of the past two years, it looks like India has a 'sun-rise' sector to bet on! The Automobile sector is moving into top-gear.

 

Over the past twenty five years i.e. from its inception the subject has set its benchmark amongst the leading players in the auto components industry.

 

After decade's low growth, the economy moved into high growth phase. Considering GDP growth rate eased to 7.2% (estimated) for the fiscal year, up from 6.7%. In the year 2009-10, subject broke the manacles of a flat sales trend in the previous two years to post a 65.42 % growth. Overall, the Company recorded a sale of Rs.3315.491 millions and Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs.215.111 millions during 2009-10.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian automobile industry has come under global focus, ranking second only to China as the fastest growing market in the world. The spate of new launches by the auto majors and rising sales graphs over the past few months indicate that the fiscal stimulus seems to have worked wonders for this industry.

 

The Indian automotive industry has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and fewer restrictions. Several Indian automobile manufacturers expanded their domestic and international operations.

 

The automobile industry in India is the ninth largest in the world with an annual production and sales of over 14 Million units in 2009-10.

 

The cumulative production data for April-March 2010 shows production growth of 25.76 % over same period last year. Passenger vehicles production crossed 2 million and two wheelers production crossed 10 million.

 

The analysis of the sales data clearly indicates that Indian automotive industry has turned towards sun rising path.

 

One of the important aspects of growth in the auto sector is the resulting expansion in availability of jobs. Both two-wheeler and four-wheeler companies have over the years spawned a wide range of ancillary units to meet their component requirements. The spurt in demand for automobiles has also stepped up demand for auto components and other related industries that provide employment in large numbers in both rural and urban areas. One can presume that revival of demand for two-wheelers and passenger cars has also ensured job growth.

 

During the year, overall automotive export growth rate is 17.90% as against 23.61% during the last year. The lower growth rate is result of slower recovery of global automotive industry and continued recessionary trend of demand in automotive sector in European market.

 

OUTLOOK

 

There is a growing consensus across the world that the worst of the financial crisis is over. Economies globally have started to stabilize and recover either from the recession or severe slowdown in the past 2 years. After having contracted in 2009, the global economy is expected to grow.

 

The Indian economy has displayed remarkable resilience over the course of the downturn and is expected to grow in full pace. Since 2008-09, the government had engineered a substantial increase in demand through fiscal measures to compensate for the decline in private and export demand. The focus has now shifted to private consumption and investment, which are being viewed as key drivers of growth in 2010-11.

 

The Company has successfully acquired the business of manufacturing and trading of Electronic and Mechanical Security Systems including Door Handles and Gear Locks for four wheeler vehicles, commercial vehicles, sports utility vehicles and principal parts thereof for supplies to existing After Market and Original Equipment Suppliers in India along with the assets and employees relating to said business. It will strengthen the Company's image in aftermarket and will boost the demand of the Company's products.

 

In addition to this, the Company is exploring all sorts of business modalities like merger, acquisitions, joint venture and other arrangements to enter into global market for its existing and new range of products for expansion.

 

In the current scenario, the Indian auto component industry is one of the few sectors in the economy that has a distinct global competitive advantage in terms of cost and quality. The Company is taking all necessary steps to minimize its cost at all level of operations to meet the stiff competition.

 

Innovation and cost pruning hold the key to meeting the global challenge of rising demand from developed countries and competition from other emerging economies.

 

 

DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

During the year the Company has achieved a turnover of Rs.3315.491 millions as compared to Rs.2004.294 millions during the previous year, thereby showing an increase by 65.42%.

 

The Net Profit of the Company has increased from Rs.91.919 millions in the previous year to Rs.180.332 millions in the Current year registering a growth of over 96.19%.

 

These results have been achieved through a dedicated team of management, effective marketing strategy and timely guidance from the top level management including Board of Directors of the Company.
