LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY:

 

a)      Total Income (on stand-alone basis)

 

During the year, the total income of the Company was Rs.29935.000 (Rs.18887.000 millions) representing increase of 58.49% .The Company saw strong revival of demand both in domestic and export markets and was able to respond promptly by ramping up supplies. New capacities created at Baramati with 80 M-T Hammer and heavy duty machining line for crankshafts became fully operational and contributed significantly to Company’s growth.

 

b)      Export Revenue (on stand-alone basis)

 

During the year, Exports turnover of the Company was Rs.12195.000 millions (Rs.7109.000 millions) represents increase of 71.54%. On the   global   front,   there was consistent and progressive QoQ recovery over FY 2009 levels in Europe and North America. This applied to the Automotive Sector, though, lower than previous peaks scaled earlier in FY 2006-07.  These sectors are of vital importance for the Company as such, the revival augured well. The Company was also able to enhance its market share in the period through a stable and reliable performance for its customers. Additionally, the Company’s strong focus for foray in Non-Automotive segments helped to augment growth opportunities. Overall, Company has been able to post strong results as a result of above factors. Performance of overseas operations has also improved in the review period due to the strong sustainability measures initiated in FY 2009.The Company continues to successfully secure new business and growth opportunities in varied industrial sectors – automotive as well as non-automotive.

 

 

SUBSIDIARIES:

 

The Company has 18 subsidiaries of which 13 are overseas and 5 are in India. A summary of their performance is given elsewhere in the Annual Report. In view of the unprecedented downturn in the automotive sectors across the globe, during year 2010-11, the Company had carried the process of restructuring and rightsizing the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries to adopt for lower market volumes. This along with improvement in market conditions has resulted in turnaround of operations of overseas subsidiaries and they have achieved overall breakeven performance   for  the  calendar   year  2010 .Company’s initiatives in capital goods sector and EPC activities are in start up phase and will be fully operational by 2013. 

 

As a part of such restructuring program, operations and assets of Bharat Forge Scottish Stampings Limited. (BFSSL), subsidiary of the Company active in the European markets, were transferred to other group companies in Bharat Forge Group. Hence, the accounts of BFSSL have not been prepared under ‘going concern’ basis.

 

 The Auditors of Bharat Forge America Inc. (BFA), subsidiary of the Company, active in the North American markets, have, without qualifying their reports, expressed a possibility about BFA’s inability to continue as going concern due to market conditions in North America. BFA has implemented various measures to improve the performance, which include achievement of considerable saving in wage cost following negotiations with Union, new business initiatives with widening customer base and product portfolio, a very tight control on costs etc. It is expected that these steps, along with the support provided by the Company would enable BFA to revive the operations. Hence, the accounts of BFA have been prepared on the ‘going concern’ basis.

 

A significant portion of the consolidated revenues is generated by the subsidiary companies. Detailed analysis of the working of the subsidiary companies appears in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

 

2010-11 has reaffirmed the strength in the global economic recovery. In 2009, global output had reduced by 0.5%. Several major developed economies had witnessed a fall in economic output. Most of these developed economies bounced back in 2010 : USA grew by 2.8% in 2010 against (-) 2.6% in 2009; the Euro Zone grew by  1.7%  in  2010  against  (-)  4.1%  in  2009;  Japan grew  by  3.9%  in  2010  against  (-)  6.3%  in  2009. And, within the Euro Zone, Germany has staged a  very  strong  recovery  from  (-)  4.7%  in  2009  to 3.5% in 2010. This has contributed significantly to a recovery in world output growth to 5% in 2010

 

The developing and emerging economies also witnessed higher growth in economic output of 7.1% in 2010 against 2.6% in 2009. China and India recovered strongly and are well on their high growth trajectory. Chart B shows that from the third quarter of 2009, both China and India have registered strong growth rates with the trend continuing throughout 2010. Advanced estimates suggest that while China grew by around 10% in 2010, India will register a GDP growth of 8.5% in 2010-11.

 

While growth is back, there are some concern areas.  An  environment  of  rising  global  demand, supply side constraints and increased speculative activities have led to sharp increases in commodity prices — such as crude oil, minerals and metals and food. With higher consumer and producer price inflation in all key emerging markets, especially India and China, it is not surprising that the central banks have raised interest rates and tightened money supply to curtail excess demand. This development carries two risks. First, is that the higher cost of finance may affect consumer demand. Second, is that it might impede future investments leading to slowing down of economic growth. In addition to these issues, higher input

costs are exerting pressure on profit margins.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE- AN OVERVIEW:

 

In FY2006, Subject set out on a new growth path where it focused on aggressively developing its industrial sector components business and chalked out a large investment plan to develop dedicated facilities in Baramati, Satara and Pune. In the automotive forgings business, it planned to further grow and consolidate its position by increasing customer base and penetrating deeper into global markets through its Indian and overseas operations.

 

However, the Company was severely impacted by the global economic turmoil in 2008. Subject responded to the market adversities by looking inwards and reorienting its business focus. The Company recalibrated its business strategy and focused on streamlining operations to create a leaner and more cost efficient enterprise that could generate profits by operating at lower levels of capacity utilisation.  And,  in  FY2011, with much of the strategic initiatives of FY2006 and the restructuring post 2008 firmly in place, Bharat Forge leveraged the revival across its target markets to deliver strong results across its

business platforms.

 

Key highlights of this performance are:

 

» The standalone operations out of India recorded 58.5% growth in revenues and a 144.5% growth in PAT.

 

» Export growth of 72.6% was higher than the underlying market growth. The export growth was driven by new customer additions, strong performance of non auto, new product developments and entry into newer geographies.

 

» The Non-Auto business increased by 89.2% with major ramp up in the new facilities. The new facilities contributed Rs.4273.000 millions to revenues against Rs.1907.000 million in FY2010 – growth of 124.1%.

 

» With the Non-Auto business gaining traction, it has emerged as key component for SUBJECT’s global business and accounts for 25% of the Company’s consolidated sales in FY2011.

 

» The overseas subsidiaries witnessed a strong revival. With 45.2% growth in total income, PBT has turned around from a loss of Rs.2454.000 millions in CY2009 to a profit of Rs.34.000 million in CY2010.

 

» The major development in the overseas subsidiaries business is the turnaround of FAW-BF – the Joint Venture in China. Total Income increased by 82.0% and the Joint Venture registered a PBT of Rs.168.000 million in CY2010 against losses in previous years.

 

» The Capital goods business has also gained traction with both the Joint Venture with Alstom and the EPC business making their first successful bids.

 

STAND-ALONE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

 

» Total Income increased by 58.5% from 18,887.36 million in FY2010 to Rs.29935.470 millions in FY2011.

 

» Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (PBDIT) increased by 62.4% from Rs.4693.380 millions in FY2010 to Rs.7623.180 millions in FY2011.

 

» The EBITDA margin has increased from 24.8% in FY2010 to 25.5% in FY2011.

 

» PBT before Exceptional item increased by 121.4% from Rs.2021.270 millions in FY2010 to Rs.4476.080 millions in FY2011.

 

» PAT increased by 144.5% to Rs.3105.670 millions in FY2011.

 

» ROCE increased from 8.7% in FY2010 to 15.7% in FY2011; RONW was 15.6% in FY2011.

 

In the standalone business, in a concerted way, there were further efforts to compress working capital. This, coupled with better utilisation of assets has reduced interest as a ratio to total income from 5.4% in FY2010 to 4.1% in FY2011.

 

JOINT VENTURE WITH ALSTOM:

 

This includes two separate Joint Ventures: the first where Subject has 49% stake and will manufacture turbine generators for supercritical thermal power plants; and the second Joint Venture where Subject has 51% stake which will focus on manufacture of associated auxiliaries. The Joint Ventures will design, engineer and manufacture turbine and generator-islands of the 600 MW to 800 MW supercritical range, with a total capacity of 5 GW per annum.

 

Construction  work  is  on  in  full  swing  for  state -of-the-art integrated plant set up over 120 acres at  the  SEZ  in  Mundra  (Gujarat).  It will be the largest integrated facility for turbine, generators and auxiliaries manufacturing in the country. The facility will have a total capacity of manufacturing 5,000 MW of Turbine Generators annually. The estimated total investment is around Rs.17000.000 million, with Subject equity share being Rs.Rs.3000.000 millions.

 

 

 

JOINT VENTURE EITH NTPC

 

BF-NTPC Energy Systems Limited (BFNESL) is a Joint Venture with NTPC Limited, India’s largest power generation company, where BFL has 51% stake. In March 2010, the Joint Venture made a beginning with the laying of the foundation stone of its manufacturing facility at Solapur in south-eastern Maharashtra. The Joint Venture has been set up to primarily manufacture Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment for the power sector (thermal, hydro and nuclear) with a technology intensive product range that should have wider application across other sectors like oil and gas, petrochemicals, steel and mining. Four specific products have been identified for development through this Joint Venture. This includes high pressure pumps, high pressure valves, critical piping and castings for turbine casings. The estimated total investment for this Joint Venture is around Rs.2000.000 millions with Subject equity share being Rs.500.000 millions.

 

The Joint Venture has started dialogue for valves, casting and pipe manufacturing. At the moment the BFNESL organisational ramp-up is in progress.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

FY2011 has seen the Company consolidate its recovery. With the focus on operations restructuring and optimal utilisation of facilities in India and at the subsidiaries, subject has emerged from the downturn a structurally better equipped entity. With market demand showing secular growth, the Company is well positioned to leverage its internal cost advantages to generate greater growth and profits.

 

In FY2011, global subsidiaries have registered a remarkable turnaround in performance and were close to breaking even. The Company is confident of the future of these entities and believes with some effort these companies, as a block will generate returns in the near future. In the automotive business, subject’s main addressable segment in USA and Europe, the Heavy truck segment will continue to grow, with volumes still way below the pre-crisis peaks. In India CV growth will be lower than the last two years, but the base market has grown and subject will have a competitive edge with newer more technically advance models being launched.

 

The Company believes in the infrastructure ledgrowth of India; and it is well positioned to leverage opportunities in the Indian market on both the automotive as well as on the non automotive front. The ramp up of non-automotive facilities has started giving results and is expected to continue in the coming year. The capital goods business with strong focus on the Indian power sector has scope for rapid incremental growth in the coming years.

 

Bharat Forge, with its technology, scale, global reach, capability and cost structure, will have opportunities to consolidate its global leadership position. With a strong India presence and lean overseas subsidiaries, subject believes it is back on growth path and is fairly optimistic about its prospects in FY2012.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

Execution key, say panellists

 

Mint
14 November 2011

 

Mumbai, Nov. 14 -- Industry representatives have high hopes from the government's new manufacturing policy (NMP), but say effective execution is crucial if it is to enhance the role of manufacturing in India's economic growth.

 

"It's a very good beginning, but we must remember it's only a beginning," B. Muthuraman, vice-chairman of Tata Steel Limited, said on Sunday at the India Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum in Mumbai.

 

Unveiled on 26 October after months of wrangling between ministries, industries and labour organizations, NMP seeks to raise the share of manufacturing to 25% from 16% of the gross domestic product (GDP) within a decade and create 100 million jobs.

 

India's industrial output grew 1.9% in September over a year earlier, its slowest pace in two years, on the back of poor performance by the manufacturing sector.

 

Baba N. Kalyani, chairman and managing director of Bharat Forge Limited, said states need to understand the importance of manufacturing in bolstering economic growth.

 

"The danger of this policy (NMP) is that it falls in the hands of the state administration and they go by the book, which means the large industrial policy outside the purview of the NMP will get orphaned," he said.

 

Muthuraman too said state governments need to be convinced that manufacturing is fundamental to growth. No country has gone through a solid phase of economic growth without manufacturing, he said.

 

The Tata Steel executive suggested that land owners be involved in policy consultations as problems in land acquisition often hobble manufacturing plans, even though a mere 3% of the country's total land area was being used by manufacturing units.

 

India's manufacturing growth has been capital-intensive rather than labour-intensive, said Rajat M. Nag, managing director general of the Asian Development Bank, Manila. "We need not only manufacturing led growth but a labour-intensive manufacturing growth." Nag said enterprises have to grow bigger to enjoy scale, investment and technology. Good governance, he said, will play a crucial role in implementing NMP effectively.

 

Arun Maira, member of the Planning Commission, said NMP aims to create an enabling environment for manufacturing by addressing deficiencies in infrastructure. "Policy is not made, it accumulates as a result of many decisions a country takes as it moves forward progressively," he added.

 

Panellists also discussed labour law reforms as crucial to boost manufacturing.

 

Muthuraman said Tata Steel has never faced labour unrest at its plants in its 100-year history despite substantially trimming the workforce.

 

"You have to treat people like an asset that appreciates with time and take responsibility," he said.

Kalyani said addressing the skill gap and containing attrition in the sector is a far bigger challenge. Published by HT Syndication with permission from MINT.

 

Anticipatory bail of accused in 30-yr-old murder case confirmed

 

Times of India

13 November 2011

 

PUNE: Industrialist Baba Kalyani has said that research-driven technology programmes in the universities with close mentoring and monitoring by the industry, are critical to saving the country from becoming a slave nation in the field of manufacturing.

 

"The universities need to ensure that they build a very strong faculty capability for the success of such programmes," said Kalyani, chairman and managing director, Bharat Forge Limited, while speaking at the launch of the University of PUNE's (UoP) four-year integrated M.Tech-Ph.D programme on Friday.

The programme marks the advent of engineering studies on the UoP campus for the first time since the varsity's inception in 1948.

 

Kalyani, who also heads the governing board of one of the state's premier autonomous technical institutions at Nanded, said, "My experience tells me if you don't have a committed core group of faculty then such programmes tend to fail."

 

"The university needs to build a strong core faculty while the industry too is needed to have a focussed approach in terms of closely monitoring the programme and mentoring students," he said.

 

Kalyani said, "More than 60 years after independence and the presence of large companies in the country today, the fact remains that we still have a long way to go in the field of manufacturing. We are slowly becoming a slave nation in manufacturing and to change this, the industry-academia's joint technology programme at the UoP and many such initiatives will be necessary to see that India emerges a global power in the true sense."

 

"We can't build a nation without creating a model of education that the country needs," he said. Applied research programmes are essential not only to solve the problems faced by the industry but also the problems faced by society. "For instance, traffic management in Pune is a technology issue today," he pointed out.He said, "The Indian economy is now worth $2 trillion as against the US's $15.5 trillion or China's$ 6 trillion economies. By our present growth rate, India's economy is poised to be worth $ 7 trillion in the next 10 years, which means half the size of the US economy. The question is, do we have the technological prowess to match that of the US?"

 

Director of IIT-Delhi Raghunath Shevgaonkar, who initiated by technology programme nearly a year ago during his tenure as UoP VC, said that the course has a three-fold focus of creating high level technological manpower; application oriented research on campus; and bringing industry-academia together."It is important that the academia keeps pace with the changes in the technology world and maintains a sense of time, which is so dear to the industry," he added.

 

Officiating VC of UoP Sanjay Chahande presided over the function while Praj Industries chief Pramod Chaudhari; dean of UoP technology faculty A S Padalkar, head of technology department Aditya Abhyankar, director of UoP's board of college and university W N Gade, registrar M L Jadhav and representatives of the partner industries were present.

 

Integrated M.Tech-PhD course begins today

 

Times of India

12 November 2011

 

PUNE: The University of Pune's (UoP) much talked-about integrated M.Tech-Ph.D course, a brainchild of former vice-chancellor Raghunath Shevgaonkar, will be formally launched by industrialist Baba Kalyani on Friday.

 

The four-year integrated programme for post-graduate science and engineering graduates as well as working professionals from the industry, has been positioned as the country's first-of-its-kind industry-academia initiative that aims at enhancing quality of the university-level research and developing technologies, which can be put to application for local as well as global requirements.

 

The university has carved out an independent faculty of technology from the earlier faculty of engineering, to run the M.Tech-Ph.D course. Four boards of studies in the areas of mechanical and materials technology; computers and infotech; chemical and biotechnology; and electronics and electrical technology have been set up for running the research projects.

 

A S Padalkar, dean of the new technology faculty, told TOI, "In all 36 students including 18 working professionals, have been selected in the maiden M.Tech-Ph.D batch. Excluding working professionals, each of the remaining student will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 24,000, which is even more than the fellowships given by the CSIR/UGC and IITs, and these will be sponsored by the seven industry partners."

 

He said, "Prominent industries including Bharat Forge, Zensar Technologies, Persistent System, Forbes Marshall, Thermax, Praj Industries and KPIT Cummins have supported the programme."

 

Referring to the issue of ownership of patent arising out of the joint industry-academia research programme, Padalkar maintained that a needless row was sought to be raised on this front by a section of the media whereas there was no dispute between the UoP and the industry partners. "We are going by the standard practices and will follow the IIT model on the patent aspect," he said.

 

He said, "The first year of the programme will essentially be the course work by the university and the remaining three years will see the students working on live applied research in the industry. Most students, who are now part of the maiden M.Tech-Ph.D batch, constitute a healty mix of science and engineering background."

Padalkar said, "The UoP has plans to constitute a fifth board of study in the area of civil and environment technology, mostly likely from the next academic year."
