Management Discussion and Analysis Report

 

The Indian tyre industry growth in the current year has been fuelled by the growth in 2-3 wheeler segment. The Indian tyre Industry with a total production number of 97.137 millions has grown up by 18% in comparison to previous period number of 82.107 millions. Out of the above Number, 2-3 wheeler tyre production number at 49.222 millions has grown by 20% in comparison to previous period number of 41.031 millions [Source: ATMA] Although, Indian 2-3 wheeler tyre industry has consolidated to a great extent with 5 leading players controlling a large chunk of the production capacity, the balance capacity is still fragmented.

 

After 2 years of low growth, in 2009-10 the 2 and 3 wheeler industry has shown a remarkable growth. Early recovery of the economy from the financial crisis and resurgence in domestic demand aided by fiscal stimulus resulted in exceptional growth of 33% and 40% in third and fourth quarters of 2009-10 respectively in 2 wheeler industry, resulting in an annual growth rate of 24% for the year in 2 wheeler industry, which helped tyre industry to substantially increase tyres production. 2-3 wheeler Tyre production in 2009-10 has been increased to 49.222 millions in Nos. from 41.031 millions in Nos. showing a increase of 20%. 2-3 wheeler industries have witnessed a capacity addition by all the major players in the last year.

 

Industry structure and Developments:

 

The Automotive sector was a great beneficiary of the overall recovery during 2009-10 and registered a healthy growth. Due to this 2-3 wheeler tyre industry also has shown a very impressive growth of 20%. With buoyancy in 2-3 wheeler market, 2-3 wheeler tyre industry is expected to perform well. On the other hand Raw Materials prices are a cause of concern with Natural Rubber prices continuously increased due to short supply and prices reached to historical high of Rs. 200 per kg. Synthetic rubber and other input prices also witnessed a significant increase.

 

Business Outlook And Overview

 

Year 2009-10 has witnessed extraordinary demand for products of the Company and industry due to higher 2-3 wheeler production and increased demand from replacement market. Driven by economical improvements and around 30 % year on year growth by OEMs in new Vehicle manufacturing, the 2-3 wheeler tyre market has witnessed tremendous demand for products and this has generated need of expansion and increased productivity for all tyres Companies.

 

The increased 2-3 Vehicle Population will lead to much higher Tyres demand from replacement markets and it is

much likely that all 2-3 tyres Companies are expected to do well.

 

Company Performance

 

Domestic Segment

 

In motorcycle category, the Company achieved a sales growth of 26.1% during 2009-10. Sales in the replacement segment grew by an impressive 45.6% and in OE segment it grew by 12.8%. The Company has launched the Challenger series of “High End Tyres”, which is expected to contribute significantly in the coming years. Overall growth in the Domestic segment is very impressive.

 

Export Segment

 

During the year, the Company has Directly/ Indirectly sold 0.381 millions tyres in comparison to 0.506 millions tyres sold during the last period. Although there is slight decline in volume, the same is because of very high demand in Domestic Segment.

 

Opportunity And Threats

 

Growth in two-wheeler demand is mainly coming from youth and lower middle class population. Urbanization of smaller town also fuels the demand in 2-3 wheeler segment. Smaller towns are expected to contribute significantly to the Segment. The Company has tested few Radial Tyres also during the last year and the responses to the same are positive.

 

Moreover the challenger series of Tyres has also got very good response. High inflation and rising Interest cost is always a threat to the Industry. Another threat to the industry is the volatility in the prices of Raw Materials specially Natural Rubber. Low cost tyre import from China is also a threat to the industry.
