Placement of Equity Shares of the Company with Qualified Institutional Buyers

 

The Company completed a private placement of shares under Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009, during the second week of December, 2009. Pursuant to Members’ approval at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting of the Company held on November 18, 2009, the Company allotted 20,48,339 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 (Rupees Ten) each at the Issue Price of Rs. 785/- (Rupees Seven Hundred Eighty Five), to various Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) on December 11, 2009. This was at a slight premium over Rs. 782.44 (Rupees Seven Hundred Eighty Two and paise forty four), the floor price as determined by the formula prescribed by SEBI. In the immediate term, the money raised has been used to retire some of the short-term debts on the Company’s books. This is in line with the issue purpose mentioned in the Placement Document filed with various authorities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Overall Review

 

Subject is a 72-year-old diversified Company, with interests in Lighting, Luminaires, Appliances, Fans, and Engineering and Projects. In the financial year 2009-10, overall profitability of the Company has improved mainly due to the better sales performance of all the BU’s excluding Luminaires BU. An improved product mix, value engineering and the ability to pass on a part of the steep increase in input costs to customers, favourable forex movement and reduction in interest costs are also amongst the major reasons for the better performance of the Company.

 

The gross turnover of the Company has increased to Rs.22522.700 Millions as against Rs.17941.300 Millions last year, registering a growth of 25.5%. The industry continued to witness intense fluctuations in raw material costs, high levels of competition and consequent pressures on margins.

 

The Company, in order to negate the impact of the intense competition and to be on the path of growth, continued its focus on enhancing revenue growth through introduction of new products, expansion of the dealer and retailer network along with good brand building efforts in addition to the various other actions for effective cost control, value engineering, competitive sourcing and improving credit discipline. The market also witnessed a slowing down in construction activity and lower spends on Infrastructure / Industrial Investments.

 

However, India continues to be on a growth trajectory and the Company has positioned itself to reap the benefits of future investments in demand conditions and infrastructure expansion.

The BU has tied up with two major partners i.e Securiton of Switzerland and Delta Controls of Canada to offer cutting edge BACNET Technology to its institutional customers.

The manufacturing of GLS and FTL lamps is undertaken at Hind lamps, an associate company of BEL, located in U.P. The equity investment in Starlite Lighting, a CFL manufacturer has added to the CFL marketing strength. The Starlite plant makes world class products on one of its kind Swiss ‘Falma’ machines.

Simultaneously, there will be a strong focus on cost reduction, improving margins and reducing working capital deployment.

 

Opportunities

 

The Indian economy is likely to see an improvement in GDP growth to around 8% and a return of the feel good factor. It is expected that the government will focus more strongly on the reforms agenda and take stronger economic action aimed at spurring consumption, building infrastructure and stimulating economic growth. Rural India is expected to boom with favorable monsoon and appropriate government policy. Infrastructure sector offers a huge opportunity in both urban and rural India. The construction sector and the housing sector are showing strong signs of revival.

 

All of these developments provide a significant  opportunity to Bajaj Electricals in its consumer facing businesses as well as industrial / infrastructure facing businesses.

 

Challenges

 

The Global economy, it appears will take around 12 to 18 months to recover from its past upheavals. The developments in Europe may be a cause for future concern. The commodity prices continue to behave erratically. The export oriented industries are still on the recovery path except for IT which appears to be back on a growth path. Poor infrastructure and the pace of pushing the reforms agenda are impacting the overall economic growth. Inflation is raring its head time and again. They expect to meet these challenges with better customer relationships, focused demand generation efforts and a strong business focus by the Company.

 

Future Outlook

 

They are confident that Indian GDP growth will see an improvement to about 8%.

WEBSITE DETAILS:

 

HISTORY:

 

The ' Bajaj ' group of India owes immense gratitude to their founding fathers whose vision and dedication over the years has greatly helped to build a business house that can set standards in Indian Industry.

 

Jamnalal Bajaj was the founding father of the Bajaj Group. The adopted ‘fifth’ son of Mahatma Gandhi, and the 'merchant prince' who held the wealth he created in trust for the people of his country. Trust - a simple word that contains a whole philosophy handed down by Jamnalal Bajaj to his successors. He valued honesty over profit, actions over words and common good over individual gain.

 

Kamalnayan Bajaj, elder son of Jamnalal Bajaj, followed footsteps of his illustrious father and consolidated the bajaj foundation. With characteristic foresight and pragmatic vision, he launched a steady diversification programme which gave the current name "Bajaj" both its shape and size. His unique management style created a work culture that matched well with the national spirit he had inherited.

 

Ramkrishna Bajaj took over the reins of the "Bajaj group" in 1972 after Kamalnayan Bajaj and steered the Group from strength to strength for over 22 years. He had also actively participated in the freedom struggle of the country. In post independent India, he had led the youth movement. All along, he actively strengthened the foundations of business through ethics and practices both within the group and amongst the business community as well.

 

Shekhar Bajaj, Chairman and Managing Director of Subject, started his career with Bajaj Sevashram after which he worked at Bajaj International, the group's export company. Mr. Shekhar Bajaj joined Bajaj Electricals in 1980, became the Managing Director in 1987 and took over as the Chairman and Managing Director in 1994

 

Mr. Bajaj is the Chairman of Bajaj Group companies Bajaj International and Hercules Hoist Private Limited and on the Board of Directors of Bajaj Auto and IDBI Bank. He was the President of ASSOCHAM, former President of Indian Merchant Chambers (IMC) and Council for Fair Business Practices (CFBP).

 

Brief history of the Company

 

The Company was incorporated as Radio Lamp Works Limited under the Indian Companies Act, 1913 as a public company limited by shares, pursuant to a certificate of incorporation dated July 14, 1938.

However, the financial year 2002-2003, the Company divested 50% of its shareholding in Bajaj Ventures Limited and Bajaj Ventures Limited ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company.

 

In January 1998, the Company established a new manufacturing unit at Chakan near Pune and commenced operations of manufacturing of fans and die-cast components. The production of fans at the manufacturing activities of the Matchwell unit also was gradually shifted to the Chakan unit.

In November 2002, the Company entered into a technical collaboration and brand licensing agreement with Morphy Richards, United Kingdom, for the sales and marketing of electrical appliances under the brand name of "Morphy Richards" in India.

 

In the financial year 2002-2003 the Company discontinued manufacturing die-cast components.
