LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Subject, the world's premier manufacturer of pneumatic tyres for special applications was incorporated on November 20, 1961. The company operates mainly in the business segment of tires. They focus on the production of range of off-highway tires that includes agricultural, industry, material handling, forestry, lawn and garden, construction and earth moving tires. The company has a worldwide distribution network ensuring extensive reach and penetration. During the year 2002-03, the company acquired the Auto Tyre Plant of Govind Rubber Limited at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan. During the financial year 2004-05, the company launched Tractor Radial Tyres. The company expanded the production capacity in Bhiwadi unit and Waluj unit to 42000 tpa and 18000 tpa respectively. They also installed 5 MW Wind-Farm near Jaisalmer in Rajasthan for captive usage. In February 2005, the company has set up a 100% subsidiary company in UK under the name of BKT (Europe) Limited to promote sales and marketing of the products of their tyre division in Europe which commenced their business activities on April 1, 2005. The company expanded the production capacity in Bhiwadi unit by 3000 tpa to 45000 tpa. In August 30, 2006, the company incorporated BKT Europe srl in Italy as a wholly owned subsidiary company and in January 2007 they incorporated BKT Exim Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary. Also they incorporated Balkrishna Paper Mills Limited and Balkrishna Synthetic Limited in March 2007 as wholly owned subsidiary companies to facilitate the transfer of their paper and textile processing business respectively. During the year 2006-07, the company increased the production capacity in Bhiwadi unit from 45000 tpa to 48000 tpa and Waluj unit from 18000 tpa to 22000 tpa. Also, the company introduced the product 'Premium Super Chromo Board' in the market. The company has three business activities under their umberlla namely tyre, paper and textile processing. The tyre business is a focused business activity of the company that constitutes more than 80% of company's total business and by vitue of this becomes their core business. In order to pay more attention to their various business activities, the company transferred their Paper business and Textile Processing business to their wholly owned subsidiaries, Balkrishna Paper Mills Limited and Balkrishna Synthetic Limited respectively with effect from April 1, 2007. During the year 2007-08, BKT Tyres Private Limited became the subsidiary of the company. Also BKT (Europe) Limited and BKT Europe srl ceased to be the subsidiaries of the company due to the disinvestment by the company. The company is in the process to set up a new green field Tyre plant into special economic zone to increase the production capacity. Also the company plans to set up storage facilities at different locations to store finished goods and raw materials.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

The Company mainly operates in one segment i.e. "tyres" with a focus on manufacture of wide range of "Off-Highway Tyres". These specialty tyres are meant for Agricultural, Industrial, Material Handling, Construction, Earthmoving (OTR), Forestry, Lawn and Garden Equipments and All Terrain Vehicles (ATV). More than 90% of their revenue is generated through exports.

 

In spite of severe global economic slowdown during the last financial year, the Company has registered an overall growth of over 12% in its revenue compared to previous year i.e. Net Turnover and other Income from Rs.12570.000 millions To Rs.14130.000 millions.

 

In terms of gross margin, the year is considered to be one of the best years for the Company, mainly due to the lower input cost and better foreign exchange realization. The gross profit has increased from Rs.1640.000 millions to Rs.3780.000 millions - a phenomenal growth of over 130%. The Company enjoyed the benefits of low input cost for the first half of the financial year, after which it has started firming up.

 

The Company continues to enjoy the status of "STAR TRADING HOUSE".

 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

 

During the year, with a view to streamline the manufacturing process and improve overall efficiency at its all the locations, the Company has incurred Capital Expenditure of Rs.1330.000 millions. This covers investment in new premises for the Company's corporate office.

 

To meet the growing demand for "BKT" tyres and to be in line with Company's vision to become a key player worldwide in the field of "Off-Highway Tyres" the Company has decided to set up a Green Field plant near sea-port at Bhuj in the state of Gujarat. This will be the fourth Tyre manufacturing facility of the Company. The Plant will be set up in various phases. For the 1a Phase the capital expenditure is estimated to be Rs.9000.000 millions and is likely to be commissioned by December 2012.

 

In order, to meet the growing demand the Company also plans to incur capital expenditure of Rs.1500.000 millions during 2010-11.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2010-11:

 

Though the atmosphere of recession and uncertainties is still looming large across the globe, the company saw signs of improvement in its business in the third quarter of last financial year and witnessed good growth in the last quarter of previous year. The company is aiming at sustainable growth by expanding its base - through developing new product lines, venturing into new geographies and deeper penetration into existing markets. To augment this growth plan, the company has announced a major capital expenditure plan to increase its production base, which will be commenced during current financial year.

 

The down side to the current financial year is an unprecedented increase in input costs - be it raw materials, freight or power and fuel. This volatility is mainly driven by speculation and supported by excessive liquidity in the market place. To resolve this, the Company has initiated price increase of its products, however it may not be sufficient to fully absorb the effects of input cost increase. In view of this Company's margins are expected to be under severe pressure.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

 

The company has following subsidiary companies: Balkrishna Paper Mills Limited (100%), Balkrishna Synthetics Limited (100%), BKT Tyres Limited (80%), BKT Exim Limited (100%), and Indirect subsidiary Companies i.e. subsidiary Companies of BKT Exim Limited; i.e. BKT (EUROPE) Limited, BKT EUROPE S.R.L and BKT (USA) INC.
