OVERVIEW

 

The Indian economy continued on its growth trajectory in FY2010-11. The GDP grew at 8.5 per cent, aided by recovery in agriculture and good performance in the industry and services sector. As a consequence, the domestic car market remained buoyant and posted a healthy growth rate of 29 per cent, higher than 26 per cent achieved in the previous year (FY2009-10), which was substantially higher than what was anticipated at the beginning of the year.

 

Despite the unexpected demand for cars and the capacity limitations in the Company, we could produce and

sell 1,271,005 units, a growth of 24.8 per cent over the previous year. This became possible due to higher levels

of productivity and many innovative practices at the shop floor level. The vendors, despite being taken by surprise, also managed to support the Company in its efforts to increase production. As a consequence, the Company was able to marginally improve its market share.

 

Exports to the European markets fell due to a decline in demand following the withdrawal of scrappage incentives in many countries. However, overall there was only a small decline in exports as sales to other non- European markets increased.

 

The profit margins came under pressure due to adverse movements of the Yen, Euro and the Dollar; volatile commodity markets and higher royalty payments. Costs also increased due to introduction of Bharat-IV norms, and higher spending on research and development. At the same time, competition continued to grow stronger.

Several India-specific cars were launched by competitorrs. These were priced aggressively. As a consequence, the ability to pass on the rising costs was constrained to an extent. Nevertheless, the EBITDA remained above

10 per cent thanks to higher volumes, productivity and cost cutting measures.

 

During FY2010-11, the Company achieved Net Sales of ` 361,282 million (Net of Excise), a growth of 24.8 per cent over the previous year. Earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at ` 41,467 million while Profit after Tax (PAT) was ` 22,886 million.

 

Customers continued to rate the Company best in sales and service satisfaction, as measured by JD Power surveys. The Company has now been rated best in service satisfaction for eleven years in a row.

 

The Company has instituted projects to further strengthen its market position and profitability and to build RandD

capability and capacity for the future. Production capacity is being enhanced with two more plants at Manesar. Each of these plants will have an installed annual capacity of 250,000 cars.

 

SUSTAINABILITY

 

The foundation of Company’s sustainability rests on its robust stakeholder engagement process. The Company

has identified six key stakeholder groups (employees and their families, local community and society, environment and regulatory authorities, customers and their families, shareholders and investors, dealers, suppliers, and other business partners) and has developed ways to engage with them in a systematic and periodic manner.

 

On the environmental front, in FY2010-11 the Company made improvements on its energy and water consumption at its manufacturing sites at Gurgaon and Manesar. Emission levels at both sites were strictly monitored. To reduce emissions due to transportation, the Company is working on a project to transport cars by rail. The Company continued to implement its flagship driving training programme through Institutes of Driving and Traffic Research (IDTR) and Maruti Driving Schools (MDS). During the year, driving training was imparted to 187,000 people across the country. The Company has 166 functional MDS set up in partnership with dealers and 4 IDTRs set up with state governments. The Company also focused on generating awareness on road safety through sessions for school children and worked on advocacy with industry bodies, SIAM and CII.

 

For vocational training, the Company worked with seven Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across states for their

overall upgradation. This included improvement in infrastructure, teacher training, repair and maintenance of machines and tools and industry exposure for students and faculty.

 

In the four villages neighbouring the Manesar plant, the Company worked on healthcare, education, infrastructure development and vocational training. Here too, the Company adopted a partnership approach and worked closely with villagers and select local NGOs to implement projects.

 

The Company publishes it sustainability report every year as per GRI G3 reporting guidelines. This report is  externally verified by an independent assurance agency.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

Domestic Market

 

Sales remained buoyant in the rural and the semi-urban markets. The focus of the Company to build infrastructure to sell and service cars in these markets paid good dividends. The top-10 cities, where sales had been sluggish during the previous year, also came back strongly. Overall, growth was evident across markets, geographies, sectors and consumer segments.

 

The Indian passenger vehicle market reached a size of approximately 2.5 million unit sales in the year. This puts India amongst the top seven markets in the world. Global car manufacturers are continuously enhancing their efforts in India. Competition intensified in the high volume segments, including compact cars and entry sedans. The new models created excitement in the market and kept consumer interest alive.

 

The Company marginally increased its share from 44.6 per cent to 44.9 per cent in passenger vehicles. Some of the Company’s models continue to be on waitlist despite production being increased very substantially. The philosophy of the Company is to provide best value to the customer over the lifecycle of the car. The selection of product technology is aligned to deliver this.

 

In keeping with this approach, the K-series gasoline engines were introduced in FY2008-09. These are compact, lightweight, low-friction, more fuel efficient engines. Although there is normally a trade-off between performance

(acceleration) and fuel efficiency, the K-series engine is able to strike a balance and deliver on both parameters. This has been appreciated by the customers and cars with K-series engines are selling very well.

 

During the year, these engines were made available in more models. The K-series engines are now mounted on Alto, A-star, WagonR, Estilo, Swift, Ritz and Dzire. These engines are manufactured at the state-of-the-art, fully integrated manufacturing facility at the Gurgaon plant.

 

During FY2010-11, the Company commissioned phase-3 of the machining and casting facility for the K-series engines, taking the total manufacturing capacity for these engines to more than 780,000 per annum.

 

During the year, the Company launched refreshed variants of WagonR and Alto with the new K-series engines.

SX4 was offered with a Super Turbo Diesel engine. The Company launched the Suzuki Kizashi, India’s first sports

luxury sedan. It sports a 2.4 litre engine and is endowed with best-in-class features.

 

The Company developed in-house i-GPI (Integrated Gas Port Injection) Technology and launched factory-fitted CNG variants for five of its models: Alto, WagonR, Eeco, Estilo and SX4. This i-GPI technology delivers higher fuel efficiency compared to conventional CNG cars. Besides, the loss of power compared to gasoline engine cars, a shortcoming of conventional CNG technology, is negligible in the case of i-GPI. The Company believes that once CNG availability improves across the country, it could become a popular option owing to its low cost and environment friendliness.

 

Apart from launching new products, the Company added 131 new sales outlets to reach 933 outlets in 668 cities and increased its service reach to 1,395 cities with 2,946 outlets. The Company’s network is now servicing about

1.2 million vehicles every month. With increasing service load, the importance of training has taken priority. The

Company has initiated tie–ups with 28 ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) to enhance availability of technical manpower at workshops.

 

The Company benefited from sales in both the top cities and the rural hinterland with the help of its network reach. In the last four years, rural sales have grown to contribute 20 per cent of total domestic sales. About 40 per cent of the Company’s sales outlets are in the rural format, with a scaled down investment that enables viability on lower volumes.

 

With shortening car ownership cycle, the residual value of the car is becoming an important determinant of the total cost of ownership. The Company’s pre-owned car business sold 212,640 cars in the year, a growth of 30 per cent over the previous year.

 

The Company is in the process of restructuring its insurance initiative to align it to regulatory requirements and make it more customer-friendly.

 

OPERATIONS

 

With market demand much beyond initial projections, and the Company already facing capacity constraints, the challenge during the year was to enhance productivity and efficiency to new levels. With consistent efforts on innovation, people development and process upgradation the Company was able to manufacture far beyond capacity. The Company increased manufacturing capability through better facility utilisation, higher plant-model flexibility, in-house automation initiatives and ultra-modern flexi-lines. By March 2011 production was at an annualised rate of 1.4 million units per annum. The ramp-up time of new models improved by 40 per cent, enabling the Company to meet spurts in demand.

 

The Company’s Production Management System (PMS), which has enabled sharp improvement in efficiency and productivity in recent years, moved to the next phase. The core of PMS lies in involving people at all levels and generating ideas through a series of brainstorming sessions. The PMS strives to achieve manufacturing excellence in four areas: Safety, Quality, Productivity and Cost. The ideas generated are worked upon by cross-functional teams across verticals. This has led to significant improvement in process quality and productivity. An example is pre-delivery inspection, a parameter of  production quality measured during tests at dealership. It has improved by 30 per cent owing to cross-functional efforts by Production, Quality Assurance and Service.

 

People involvement is the key to process improvements and cost reduction. With committed focus and special drives, employees continued to generate suggestions towards continuous improvement in systems and processes, productivity and in eliminating waste.

 

The Company undertook 29 major automation initiatives in-house, further reducing cost. An in-house Technical

Training Centre maps and imparts right technical skills to people. It currently offers 36 modules. The Company also observes a theme-based safety day every month, involving almost all employees in the effort.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The market for passenger vehicles in India is estimated to grow to 4.5 million to 5 million units by 2015-16. Although rising inflation, interest rates and crude oil prices are concerns in the short term, the Company is optimistic about the medium and long term. The Company is gearing up for growth.

 

Initiatives to expand manufacturing capacity are underway. The Company’s products are well received by customers. SMC’s design philosophy of aggressive and sporty cars, K-series technology and the popularity of the

Company’s diesel car offerings augur well for the future.

 

To supplement this, the Company is stepping up its R and D capability to work in a unified way with SMC and offer a regular pipeline of new and refreshed models. The Company’s network of sales and service outlets continues to be its strength. Network is set to expand in the future, and will help tap opportunity as economic prosperity widens and deepens in the country.

High commodity prices and adverse currency movements continue to be the challenges. Besides existing efforts to boost productivity, reduce waste and enhance value, the Company is working on new initiatives like higher localisation and hedging to reduce the impact of commodity prices and currency.

 

The Company is conscious that talent will be key to achieving the goals envisaged for the medium term. Specific initiatives are being taken in the area of recruitment and development. The Company is working closely with suppliers and dealers to prepare them for growth as well as higher competitive intensity.
