MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The business is organized into 3 major groups and the revenue percentage for 2009-10 of the business divisions are given below:

 

Material Handling Solutions

20%

Construction and Mining Solutions

56%

Power System Solutions

24%

 

The financial year 2009-10 is the third year of the 11th 5-year Plan wherein the Government has planned investments towards infrastructural development to the tune of Rs.2250000.000 millions, which the Management Consultants McKinsey in their report mentioned that the Government has revised the figure to Rs.3750000.000 millions. Although the Indian economy has emerged as the fastest growing economy after China, a significant part of the Government’s proposed investment in the infrastructure sector is yet to happen. This would lead to aggressive investments by the Government during 2010-11 and 2011-12, which would also conclude the 11th 5-year Plan tenure.

 

The growth rate in India has been far better than other emerging economies due to the proactive measures undertaken by the Indian Government in response to the global economic slowdown and also due to greater reliance on domestic demand. As per the report by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been estimated at 7.1% in 2009-10. This report also mentions that the 4th quarter GDP is estimated to have grown by an impressive 8.4%. As per the report, the drivers for the overall growth in 2009-10 have been the following:

 

a) Growth in industrial sector by 9.4%.

b) Growth in manufacturing sector by 10.3%

c) Growth in Mining and Quarrying sector by 10.3%

d) Growth in Services Sector by 8.2%

 

The infrastructure industry which constitutes the core sector registered a robust growth of 7.2% in March – the highest in 2009-10. The core sector data is encouraging and is expected to give the overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP) a strong foothold. Infrastructure is definitely going to be one of the key growth drivers for the Indian economy. The cement, coal and steel industries have already begun registering a turnaround. The realty business looks positive with demands from housing and commercial sectors. The roads and highways sector has very aggressive plan to achieve a target of constructing 20 kms a day. The process for awarding such contracts has been restructured and simplified in order to ensure that projects are awarded to those with strong credentials and high net worth. The Honorable Minister for Roads and Highways has already undertaken a number of Road Shows abroad to attract Global Contractors of repute to bid for such contracts in India. This demonstrates the Government of India’s resolve to accelerate the construction of Roads and Highways.

 

Many key projects during the financial year 2009-10 that were deferred are now expected to be finalized during 2010-11 and 2011-12. Other construction projects, which were also stalled, are showing signs of revival and expected to be back on track by Aug 2010. According to a report published in March 2010 by domestic broking major, Edelweiss Capital, India is likely to be a US $ 4 trillion economy by 2020. Also, as per Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), the research arm of London based Economist Magazine, India is all set to become the world’s fastest growing economy by 2018.

 

Infrastructure development being the key priority, for current plan period, the government has targeted investments of

 

• $150 billion in Power

• $ 80 billion in Roads and Highways sectors

• $ 65 billion for Railways,

• $ 22 billion for Ports

• $ 8 billion for Airports

 

For the 12th five year plan (2012-17), Prime Minister’s Committee on Infrastructure has projected that India will require investments worth $ 1 trillion. Government is also making radical changes in policy matters to promote Public Private Partnership (PPP) module and facilitating private investments and attracting FDIs in infrastructure development.

 

With the Government’s growing thrust on the infrastructure segment, the construction equipment sector is going to witness an exponential growth. The growth rate forecast for commercial, industrial and residential sectors pose an optimistic picture. According to a study conducted by leading management consulting firm McKinsey, Indian Earthmoving and Construction Equipment (ECE) industry has the potential to grow five-fold from its current size of US$ 2.3 billion to about US$ 12-13 billion by 2015, growing at a CAGR of 24%.

 

With economic activity picking up, Indian ports are also showing signs of turnaround. According to the Planning Commission, there is an investment opportunity of US$ 25 billion by 2011-12 in India’s Shipping and Ports sectors. In order to expand capacity at important ports in the country, the Ministry of Shipping has awarded seven projects worth over US$ 387 million, to be developed through the PPP route. Traffic at Ports have been growing at a brisk pace and therefore, increasing cargo handling capacities of the Ports is critical to India. To meet this demand, India’s ports are likely to increase cargo handling capacity to 1,855 MT by 2012 from the present 758 MT.

 

In the Railways sector, the Annual Plan for 2010-11 envisages investment of US$ 8.99 billion, according to data released by Press Information Bureau (PIB). Apart from fast track projects, the Indian Railways Ministry has also decided to diversify infrastructure facilities including cultural complexes, housing, schools, parking lots and super-fast passenger rail corridors, all of which will open new areas of opportunities. The Company is taking all possible measures to optimize the huge potential in the Ports and Railways sectors.

 

The demand for the power sector continues to be robust as the shortfall in power generation continues to be 13% at peak demand and per capita usage is only 10% of the global average. These indicate that there is going to be a continuous increase in demand for power generation which can be provided through generator sets for user segments like textile, IT, Real Estate, Auto ancillaries, Petroleum, etc.

 

In the Construction and Mining Sector, the growth is likely to be 25 - 27% during 2010 - 11. In addition, because of the Indian economy maturing there will be increased demand for Rental and Used Equipment as well. The Company has initiated all necessary steps required to seize the emerging opportunities.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

Material Handling Solutions (MHS):

 

Material Handling Solutions accounted for about 20% of Company sales during the year 2009 – 10. The overall sales for the Division were impacted on account of Economic slowdown witnessed in the country for most part of the year.

 

The Division retained its dominance in Mobile Crane market with market share exceeding 60%. Margins also improved during the year due to various measures taken to reduce costs in spite of lower sales. This Division also improved its order backlog position as on 31/3/10 to Rs.460.000 millions compared to Rs.200.000 millions a year earlier. However, the performance in respect of Port Equipment and Component exports suffered due to Global slowdown and downturn in Container traffic in the ports across India.

 

Mining segment continued to have confidence in TIL cranes. The Company received orders from a Navratna PSU for 14 new cranes valued at Rs.270.000 millions during the year.

 

The Company has been serving Indian Defense over the decades for varied range of Material Handling equipment. Defense again reaffirmed their confidence by placing order for 12 nos. cranes valued at Rs.60.000 millions. Orders from the Defense Authorities for larger quantities are in the pipeline.

 

With the objective of quantum improvement in plant throughput and costs, MHS Division of the Company has embarked on an ambitious “Accelerated Improvement Program” This program involves all sections of employees with focus on participation from shop floor workmen.

 

In line with the Division’s plan to continuously enhance its Product offerings, new Technology Transfer agreements have been made with Astec Inc, USA for manufacturing and marketing of a range of Aggregate Crushers and Screens as well as Double Barrel Continuous Hot Mix Asphalt Plants. Astec is a leading global brand in the field of Road Making and Construction Equipment with factories spread over various parts of USA.

 

This Division also entered into an agreement with Potain Cranes, a global leader in Tower Cranes and part of Manitowoc Crane Group for marketing of Potain Tower Cranes in the territory of North and East India. Potain has more than 100,000 cranes sold and installed globally and produces over 60 models which range from 1.0 ton to 160 tons for varied applications including construction sites, dam building projects, power stations, ship building yards and bridge building projects.

 

The Division with its robust expansion plans and diverse product portfolio is well positioned to leverage the growth opportunities in the Indian Infrastructure space.

 

Construction and Mining Solutions (CMS):

 

Construction and Mining Solutions accounted for 56% of the Company’s revenue. Difficult industry and economic conditions continued to prevail for the major part of the financial year 2009-10. In terms of unit sales, 850 units were sold with an order backlog of 88 units valued at Rs.870.000 millions.

 

During 2009-10, the Company achieved breakthroughs in the mining segment. An established Spanish contractor making their entry in India booked an order for 7 units of 100 ton Trucks valued at Rs.170.000 millions. Purchase of further 12 Trucks and support equipment valued at Rs.400.000 millions is under consideration. For the first time, the Company secured an order for underground mining support equipment valued at Rs.36.900 millions. A steel major has also placed an order for 2 units 988H Wheel Loaders and 773 Water Sprinklers valued at Rs.63.000 millions. Negotiation for purchase of additional equipment by the customer is under progress. The Company’s focus on rentals continue along with the strategy to provide easier access to Caterpillar equipment and DG sets. The Construction and Mining Rentals recorded a healthy top line growth of 43% during the year. To meet customer expectations, the Company also invested substantially in the training and development of employees to deliver quality Rental solutions. The Rental fleet surpassed 200 units and in order to enhance coverage and be closer to the customer, new Rental outlets have been opened during the year apart from the standalone Rental stores in Asansol, Bhubaneswar, Lucknow, Udaipur, Chandigarh and Sahibabad.

 

Product and service support continue to be a priority for the Company. As a testimony to this, Maintenance and Repair Contract (MARC) with two major groups have been renewed for another 5 years. Furthermore, the Company has signed a customer service agreement with a major infrastructure organization for 100 machines deployed in Bihar.

 

In their continuous endeavor to be a total solutions provider, the Company invested in a state-of-the-art Component Rebuild Centre at Asansol (West Bengal) which also conforms to the 5-star contamination control norms of Caterpillar and is fully equipped to enable customers to achieve optimum component life and reliability through world class rebuild practices.

 

Power Systems Solutions (PSS):

 

Power Systems Solutions accounted for 24% of the revenue during the period and in terms of units, 503 engines were sold during the year including those sold in the Petroleum segment. The Company’s order backlog for this business is Rs.1360.000 millions. A prestigious order (4 Units) from one of the major infrastructure Company for high capacity engines of 2,000 KVA each was secured for the Kishanganga Project – the total value of this being approx. Rs.120.000 millions. Furthermore, 10 DG Sets in the 725 / 1,000 KVA range have been contracted for another new business account based out of Hardwar for a value of Rs.50.000 millions. Both these new businesses demonstrate the Company’s strength in the larger capacity engine business. Product Support continues to be a focus area with the ONGC Annual Maintenance and Parts Contract rolling on successfully since last year.

 

In the Petroleum segment, the Company has secured for the first time a contract from CAMP POWER for 2 Units of Gas Engines for erection, commission and running for 5-Years. This pertains to the G3516C Engine and the value of the order would be around Rs.110.000 millions. With increase in prospects in the CNG and City Gas business, the Company is set to aggressively explore the evolving opportunities.

 

The Rental Fleet for the engine business crossed 90 Units reflecting a business growth of around 50%.

 

With the initiatives on increasing footprint and field resource, the Company significantly improved the market coverage and added 428 new customers in the CMS business and 261 new customers in the PSS business, to the existing customer base.

 

Formation of Tractors India Private Limited (TIPL):

 

During the financial year 2009-10, the Company decided to transfer the Caterpillar Business to Tractors India Private Limited (TIPL), a 100% wholly owned subsidiary company of Subject with effect from 1st April 2010. The Caterpillar business consisting of the Construction and Mining Solutions and Power System Solutions will be managed by TIPL. The formation of this subsidiary Company has been done to have laser focus on the Caterpillar Business and achieve higher growth both in terms of Sales and Profits, and also to have a more dynamic customer-centric organization. This initiative also conforms to the re-alignment of Caterpillar’s “India Acceleration Program”, which is also in line with Caterpillar’s vision 2020 and its enterprise strategy. TIPL has further re-structured the organization by creating four strategic business units or territorial dealerships. This re-structuring is on the basis of the geographical profile and boundaries, and also keeping the industry segments under consideration. The benefits the Company will derive out of this re-structuring are as follows:-

 

• Improved market coverage – extensive foot print

• Better proximity to customers

• Quantum leap in customer delight

• Enhanced customer loyalty

• Increased market share

• Sustainable growth in sales and profits

 

The formal signing of the Territorial Dealership Agreements with Caterpillar has been completed to create the most effective and significant business and market distribution. With the formation of TIPL, the Company corroborates the fact that the Customer ultimately remains the nucleus of all business activities. The Head Office for TIPL will remain in Kolkata. The strategic direction, policies and operational standards will be seamless and uniform in all the four territories. Each territory will be independent profit centers with Head Offices in Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Sahibabad and Udaipur. This will bring the right focus with sectoral and locational attention necessary to drive the business forward and further to establish the Company as a Total Solutions Provider.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:

 

During the first 9 months of the Financial Year 2009 / 10 the economy was recovering and the investments by the Government in the infrastructure sector was not significant. There was an expectation that the economy will recover significantly from January 2010 and the budget for 2010 / 11 will also be a stimulus for increase in investments in the infrastructure sector. Although the GDP growth has been estimated at 7.1% for 2009/10, there has also been deferment of investments in the infrastructure sector in that Financial Year. The investments in the infrastructure industry is likely to increase in 2010 / 11 and 2011 / 12 as many key projects are expected to be funded which includes building of national highways, construction of expressways, metro rail projects, flyovers, commercial projects including IT parks, hotels, doubling of major ports cargo capacity, privatization of mining and upgrading metro airports. All these will require additional investments in the construction, mining and material handling equipment. During 2009 / 10 the Company has initiated various strategies through the following:

 

• Market penetration by opening of new Branches,

• Expansion of manufactured range of products through technical collaboration agreements,

• Operational excellence,

• Focused organization structure,

• Human Resource Development.

 

The Company continues to pursue its objective of sustainable growth in terms of the top line and the bottom line, maximizing the operational efficiency and also follow the best practices for attainment of the highest standards of quality, safety and productivity.

 

Since the Company imports material required to manufacture finished products and also imports capital goods, the dependence on such imports is significant and any adverse Foreign Exchange fluctuation will have an impact in the business process. In addition to this, any economic slowdown in terms of further deferment of Government expenditure towards infrastructure sector and steep hike in steel prices will also have an impact on the business. The Company has been facing competition both locally and internationally and the recent development in this respect has been the availability of Chinese products, which can pose a threat for the growth of the business.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Backed by the strong domestic demand and robust business confidence coupled with Government’s thrust towards infrastructural developments, the Indian economy is projected to grow at 8.5% in 2011 – 12 according to the World Economic Outlook report (2010) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

 

Infrastructure sector in India is on an exciting growth path at the moment with the Government identifying infrastructure development as a key focus area for the next five years. The increased focus and spending on the sector will be providing an exciting opportunity and the Company is well positioned to optimize the emerging opportunities through its improved and innovative product and service portfolio along with focus on Rental and Used Equipment, new business tie-ups and strategic realignment.

 

The business opportunities in the coming years look very positive and encouraging and the Company is committed to its Nation Builder role. The Company is determined to take advantage of the growth potential and be a partner in the building of ‘Modern India’.
