MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

I. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

During the Financial Year 2009-10 the Country achieved significant growth in all segments of the economy. The Automobile Industry witnessed one of the best growth years. The Commercial Vehicle Segment of the market achieved 31% growth over the previous year 2008-09. The complexion of the market continued to change, with the process of substitution of 3-Wheeled Small Commercial Vehicles by the larger 4-Wheelers. This segment of 1 ton 4-Wheelers evidenced major growth. Demand for Tractors also witnessed a growth. The Government's efforts to boost economic growth by stimulus, including reduced rate of taxes proved to be the major contributorforthis expansion in demand.

 

II. PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

During the year under report the Company achieved higher turnover and sold 12,809 numbers of Light Commercial Vehicles, (including Small Commercial Vehicles), 7,176 numbers of Multi Utility Vehicles and 612 numbers of Tractors and thus achieved a growth of 27.57% in the sales turnover, which stood at Rs. 9555.500 Millions compared to the previous year's sales turnover of Rs. 7490.600 Millions.

 

The face lifted and re-engineered Traveller Range of Vehicles was well received by the market. In spite of stepmotherly treatment meted out to Multi Utility Vehicles for taxation, these types of vehicles being customer friendly and perfectly suited for public transport witnessed some growth, inspite of adverse taxation. These vehicles are sold as people carriers - much appreciated in rural areas, for their spacious interiors and rugged reliability. The Company, as stated above, could achieve sale of 7,176 numbers of TRAX Vehicles.

 

The Company introduced new models of Small Commercial Vehicles having carrying capacity both below and above 1 ton, with the brand "TRUMP". The new offerings - TRUMP 15 and TRUMP 40 – received good response from the market and the Company could sell over 2,800 numbers of these vehicles in this introductory phase.

 

The Company has developed a completely new platform for the SUV segment. The new CRDI TD-22 engine based on the OM611 and the matching G-32 gearbox, both licensed by Daimler A.G. are integrated into this. The body, interiors and features offered are in the category of high quality SUVs. The prototype of these vehicles are under testing. The Company proposes to introduce this product before end of 2010-11.

 

In order to exploit the industrial land owned by the Company at Chakan, during the year under report the Company entered into a lease agreement with a leading capital goods manufacturing company, granting about two and a half hectares of the land, with building, on lease for ten years.

 

HEAVY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND JOINT VENTURE OF THE COMPANY - MAN FORCE TRUCKS PRIVATE LIMITED

 

As reported earlier, the Company's joint venture with MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, Germany, i.e. MAN FORCE Trucks Private Limited (MFTPL), manufacturers of Heavy Commercial Vehicles became a 50:50 joint venture.

 

Exports : Exports in large quantities was a cornerstone for formation of JV with MAN. However, the export of Heavy Commercial Vehicles has not yet reached the expected and planned levels, as originally envisaged by the Joint Venture Partners.

 

Tippers : MFTPL's development efforts for offering power moderated "Tippers" for mining and construction industries are a success. The power optimized new tippers 25.220, 16.220 also 31.280, are very well accepted by the market. The sale of these products assisted MFTPL to achieve a turnover of Rs. 4093.400 Millions for the year 2009-10 compared to Rs. 1662.900 Millions for the year 2008-09. The sale of these new products significantly contributed to this improvement.

 

Haulage Trucks : The development efforts at the JV, to offer optimized vehicles with "low power density" and cost effective cabins, and cowls, for the Indian haulage market, has also not yet resulted into introduction of such a range of vehicles during the year under report. The Company is in continuous discussions with the Joint Venture Partner, to realign the product mix etc. to improve the performance of MFTPL.

 

The Company's Research and Development Department is continuously assisting the JV - MFTPL, to develop suitable offerings for this major segment of the Heavy Commercial Vehicle Market.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

As stated above, the Company sold 20,594 numbers of vehicles during the financial year 2009-10 compared to 17,173 vehicles in the previous year 2008-09. However the proportion of LCVs and UVs has increased in relation to the SCV (Small Commercial Vehicles) like the Minidor.

 

The Profit before Interest and Tax, from operations, excluding the exceptional items, was Rs. 387.600 Millions compared to operating loss for the previous year 2008-09 amounting to Rs. 809.700 Millions. Two exceptional items of income resulted in a gain of Rs.216.600 Millions. This gain arose from sale of shares and revision in technology arrangements. The net profit of the Company after interest, depreciation, tax and after considering the exceptional items, was Rs. 604.200 Millions for the year 2009-10 as compared to Rs. 1245.600 Millions for the year 2008-09 in which year though the exceptional item/gain was higher at Rs. 3063 Millions. Considering the improved operating performance of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company has recommended a dividend of Rs. 3.00 per share on 1,31,76,262 equity shares of Rs. 10 each for the consideration of the Members.

Heritage

 

Late Shri N.K.Firodia, a dedicated Gandhian and Visionary Industrialist, was the Founder-Managing Director of Force Motors. Having participated in the freedom struggle for India in 1932 and 1942 he was determined to achieve Industrial modernisation for India. He established, starting in 1950, in Collaboration with Vidal and Sohn, Hamburg, Germany the import and later progressive manufacture in India of the Tempo 3-Wheeler.

 

On 15th August 1957, the 10th anniversary of Indian independence, Mr. N.K.Firodia signed a collaboration with Vidal and Sohn Tempo Werke GmbH for phased manufacturing of TEMPO 3-WHEELER and manufacturing was started in a small plant at Goregaon, Bombay. The initial licensed capacity granted by the government was 1000 vehicles per year and 80 vehicles per month.

 

Expanding the business in 1961, the Company acquired about 150 acres of land in Akurdi near Pune. The production was transferred to Pune by the end of 1964. Ambitious plans for producing Light Commercial Vehicles for the growing industrial economy of India were drawn up. The manufacture of TEMPO VIKING 4-Wheeled Trucks and Vans commenced in November 1964. The licensed capacity was increased to 6000 vehicles per year.

 

The VIKING vehicle subsequently was upgraded with a diesel engine and the MATADOR was born. The production of Matador commenced in 1969. In 1975, the manufacturing capacity of the company was increased to 12,000 vehicles per year, in addition to 6,000 diesel engines for other purposes.

 

The collaborator company in Germany, in the wave of mergers during the 70s merged eventually with Daimler-Benz. In July 1982, the company in a new collaboration - with the then Daimler Benz - produced the Mercedes Benz OM 616 engine under license for fitting on its line of vehicles.

 

The TRAX Vehicle, specifically designed for the rough roads of rural India was developed by the Company's Research and Development department, to cater to the growing mechanisation of passenger transport in rural India.

To further modernise its LCV product range, the Company took up the production of the TRAVELLER, under licence from Daimler-Benz. A new Plant was set up in 1987, on a greenfield site in Central India at Pithampur in Madhya Pradesh. This modern facility was developed in close co-operation with Daimler-Benz. The plant is equipped with a modern conveyorised body welding and Electrophoretic dip painting shop. The Plant has been expanded to house a new Press Shop in 1997.

The Presence in Health Exibition 2010 In Bangalore

 

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Bangalore International Exhibition Services (BIES) organized ‘Healthex 2010’ 16th July 2010  :  Bangalore

 

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Bangalore International Exhibition Services (BIES) organized ‘Healthex 2010’, from 16th - 19th July, 2010, an International Exhibition on Medical, Surgical and Diagnostic equipments, Technology, Materials, Supplies and allied services at Bangalore International Exhibition Center.

Being an ideal platform to showcase medical equipment we actively participated in this exhibition with our Special Care Trauma Traveller Ambulance and Standard Traveller Ambulance products. Our stall was strategically positioned at a prominent locations and displayed our Special Care Trauma Traveller Ambulance which became the talk of the exhibition. Our uniquely designed stall stood apart with its stylishly planned front fascia, ample space for visitors, apt positioning of products and fresh branding graphics.


This exhibition saw over 5000 visitors in three days which included several prospective customers from various hospitals and large medical institutions. The ambulance was much appreciated and was seen as a huge advantage by senior decision makers from hospitals. These senior executives clearly saw the additional benefits of a factory built offering and our price range over the competitors like TATA, Swaraj Mazda. This exhibition has been a major boost to us, Force Motors having conquered more than 70% of the whole Ambulance Market in India.

The Force Team was equally excited about customer response received with more than 80 enquires at one go... Time to pull up our socks and get into fast forward mode in converting the enquires.

 

 

It’s end of the road for Force Motors’ Minidor

 

Force Motors stops manufacture of 15-yr old MinidorEconomic Times PUNE : 30th August 2010

 

Having pioneered the term ‘autorickshaw’, for a motorised rickshaw as against the cycle or hand-pulled one, Force Motors (earlier Bajaj Tempo) has discontinued manufacture of its 15-year old three-wheeler, the Minidor. Company chairman, AN Firodia, was categorical that this was not an exit from the three-wheeler segment — a segment which they carved out and even named decades ago.


In a move away from its traditional sector, of being a public transport carrier, it is aiming at the personal vehicle user. For its passenger car foray, it has chosen to enter via the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment, Mr Firodia said.

“We will launch a sports utility vehicle (SUV) sometime this year. We do not have a product in this segment, but we have developed a new platform which will allow us to launch a stylish new vehicle in a segment which is very popular. We are in the rural market with the Trax, which is rural multi-utility vehicle used as a rural taxi in those states that allow it. The SUV is a completely different segment from the Trax, though,” he said.

 

Mr Firodia said its equal joint venture with MAN Nutzfahrzeuge — MAN Force, which currently makes heavy commercial trucks, will roll out the first of the inter-city coaches by Diwali, since they need time to seed the market first.

“The inter-city coach has been fully localised and the body is being built by Azad of Jaipur. The bus, like the trucks, will carry the MAN brand. Although we have the flexibility to brand the trucks as Force, we have not done so because we are concentrating on only the top end. This will be applicable to the bus business, too,” Mr Firodia stated, adding that they will establish this product first and then look at other products, like low floor city buses.


Till now, Force Motors had three platforms, catering mainly to the rural, multi-utility or mass transport markets, comprising the Trump a small commercial vehicle, the Trax a multi-utility vehicle for rural markets and the Traveller, a city coach. The SUV will be in a different segment while its bus business is not in the volume products.

Mr Firodia explained that they stopped making the three-wheeler Minidor from April since it does not meet Bharat Stage III emission norms. He added, “There is no market for the product in this configuration, for us to upgrade to BS IV, but we have not exited the segment and we could look at it later.”


Force Motors has manufacturing presence in Akurdi near Pune and Pithampur, near Indore, in Madhya Pradesh, where its equal JV, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge is also located.


Sounding a commonly heard refrain, Mr Firodia said component manufacturers are unable to cope with the demand surge. “We could sell up to 2,000 units a month of the Trump, our small light commercial vehicle but we are actually doing only around 600 a month. That is because of the shortages of components, from tyres to rotary fuel pumps. Tyre makers, for instance, are unable to meet demand from the OEMs and the after market.

That is also applicable to castings and forgings: demand is very high and they are not available with this sudden crank up in demand. These supplier constraints are affecting MAN Force Trucks, our joint venture, too,” Mr Firodia remarked.

With excess capacity in its tool room, the OEM is in talks to contract out these capacities.


Mr Firodia explained the move, saying, “We have enough tool room capacities and though these are not going a-begging, we can sell upto 50% of that capacity. Talks are on but nothing has been finalised so far. We are trying to sell tool room capacities because we have both, the capacity and the capability.”


Force Motors is a low profile, still unfashionably vertically integrated mainly commercial vehicle maker, making its own engines, chassis, gear boxes, axles, etc for its entire product range. As a component maker, Force Motors is the sole supplier of engines to Mercedes Benz India for its passenger cars, apart from making the cab and nine-speed gear boxes for its joint venture, MAN Force Trucks.


Referring to the JV, Mr Firodia said, “We expect to sell 5,000 trucks this year, however, there are supplier constraints which is affecting us. We had intended to import the bigger TGA trucks into India as completely built units a couple of years ago but there is no market here for these trucks.


So, we will focus on the range built here and improve our footprint with more variants. We also need to bring in more haulage vehicles with lower power ratings than European ones, since that is a market need. Our partner, MAN, handles exports and we would like to see more of that.”
