India is expected to become the world's 7th largest automobile market by 2016 and third largest by 2030. Further, the total sales are expected to reach US$ 120 -160 Billion by 2016 and the investment requirement is estimated to be US$ 35-40 Billion.

 

During the year the Indian Automobile Industry recorded a remarkable production growth of 27%, as compared to the last year. The industry produced around 18 Million vehicles of which share of two wheelers were 75%, passenger vehicles - 17 %, three wheelers and commercial vehicles - 4% each.

 

In this backdrop, the Company has achieved a 36% growth in the Annual Sales, which is much above the industry growth, by clocking the sales of Rs.8,609 Million during the year ended March 31, 2011, as compared to Rs. 6,342 Million in the previous year.

 

During the year, Lumax has posted Earnings before Depreciation Interest and Tax (EBDITA) of Rs. 571.41 Million for the year ended March 31, 2011 as against Rs. 517.56 Million in the previous year, an increase of 10% as compared to the previous year and Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs. 179.73 Million as compared to the Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs. 59.27 Million during the previous year, registering a tremendous growth of 203%.

 

During the year, the Company has laid foundation for construction of a new ultra modern manufacturing plant at Bawal, Haryana at an estimated cost of about Rs.800 million to meet the increasing demand for supply of high volume auto lightings for one of its existing top customer - Maruti Suzuki, as some of the existing plants are facing capacity constraints. The said plant is expected to start commercial production by January 2012.

 

Further, the Company is also in the process of setting up new plant at Bidadi, Bangalore for supply of auto lighting and other components for the Small Car of Toyota - Etios and the said facility is expected to become operational by the next year. Till then the company has set up a new small assembly facility in Bidadi, Bangalore and started supplying to this customer.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

The Financial Year 2010-11 has ended as a remarkable fiscal year. In a globalised world with its share of uncertainties and rapid changes, this year brought us some opportunities and many challenges as they moved ahead with steady steps on the chosen path of fiscal consolidation and high economic growth.

 

The growth in 2010-11 has been swift and broad-based. The economy is back to its pre-crisis growth trajectory. While agriculture has shown a rebound, industry is regaining its earlier momentum, services sector continues its near double digit run. Fiscal consolidation has been impressive. This year has also seen significant progress in those critical institutional reforms that would set the pace for double digit growth in the near future. However, food inflation, higher commodity prices and volatility in global commodity markets were some of the causes of great concerns underscoring the need of fiscal consolidation and stronger reserves.

 

India's post recovery industrial output growth has been largely driven by some of the sectors such as the automotive sector along with a revival in cotton textiles, leather, food products and metal products. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have grown at 8.60% in 2010-11 in real terms. In 2010-11 agriculture is estimated to have grown at 5.40%, industry at 8.10% and services at 9.60%. All three sectors are contributing to the consolidation of growth. More importantly, the economy has shown remarkable resilience to both external and domestic shocks.

 

INDIA OUTLOOK FY 2011-12

 

The long term growth prospects of the economy seems to be bright given the strong fundamentals of the economy, but the short term outlook needs to be assessed in context of the emerging macroeconomic dynamics that might support or limit India's economic growth.  Therefore, by elucidating the current macroeconomic developments that would play a crucial role in determining the prospect of the Indian economy over the span of next one year, it is important to note that after nearing the pre-crisis growth levels of 9.00%, during the early part of FY 2010-11, the GDP growth moderated to near 8.20% during Q3 2010-11, thereby highlighting the moderation in the overall economic activity.

 

The growth pattern in the industrial sector is expected to drive the overall economic activity in the near future. Domestic demand, however, will continue to hold the key to broad based growth.

 

At the backdrop of the current economic environment, it is expected that the GDP will grow from the current levels, which likely to touch the figure of 9.00% during the next fiscal year.

 

AUTO AND AUTO COMPONENT INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

Indian Automobile Industry embarked a new journey in 1991 with delicensing of the sector and subsequent opening up for 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through Automatic Route. Since then India has turned out be an attractive destination for Global Outsourcing Hub and Manufacturing base for several Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Particularly, after the global economic downturn, Automobile Industry has surged its way to reach the top of the chart and is expected to rise further more in the coming years.

 

Almost all the major global players in the passenger vehicles segments are present in India and are expanding their capacities. Also, several global commercial vehicles manufacturers are entering in Indian markets to form Joint Ventures with local players. India is the world's 2nd largest two wheeler market and 4th largest commercial vehicle market and further, it is expected to become the world's 7th largest automobile market by 2016 and third largest by 2030.

 

The well-developed Indian Automotive industry comprising of two segments, automobiles and auto component, ably fulfils the catalytic role by producing a wide variety of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three wheelers, two wheelers and auto components. Further these segments include medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M and HCVs), light commercial vehicles, mopeds, motorcycles, scooters, among others.

 

HIGHEST EVER AUTOMOBILE SALES FIGURE ACHIEVED BY THE INDUSTRY IN THE FY 2010-11

 

Sales: Indian Automobile Industry has witnessed a strong growth of 27% in sales over the previous year. The magic figure of 27% is a very strong number for a developing economy, especially in a sector like automobile which is not used to of such high growth.

 

Production: As discussed earlier, in terms of production also, the Indian Automobile Industry has recorded a remarkable growth of 27% in 2010-11, as compared to the last year.

 

Indian Automobile Industry is sufficiently backed-up by the Indian Government as well as by the respective State Governments, which have complemented by introducing and implementing several policies on both macro and micro levels over the decades, which includes Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016, 100% FDI through Automatic Route, Vehicle Inspection and  Maintenance System, National Skill Development Program (NSDP), National Automotive Testing and R and D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP), Auto Policy, 2002, Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and adding to the same was Union Budget 2011-12.

 

AUTO COMPONENT INDUSTRY

 

The Auto Component Industry, being the backbone of the emerging Automotive Industry, manufactures a variety of products including Engine and  Engine parts, Fuel-injection Systems and Carburetors, Cooling Systems and  Parts, Gears, Axles, Headlights (Complete Lightings), Dashboard Instruments, Spark Plugs, Electric Ignition Systems (EIS), Pressure Die Castings, Hydraulic Pneumatic Instruments, Key Transmission and  Steering Parts, Suspension and  braking parts, Equipment, Electrical parts, among others.

 

The Indian Auto Component Industry has a potential to grow over Rs. 5000000.000 millions (US $ 110 billion) by the year 2020, driven in tandem with the surge in vehicle production in the country. Of this, the domestic turnover is expected to reach to Rs. 4000000.000 millions (US$ 80 billion) and exports scale upto another Rs. 14000000.000 millions (US $ 29 Billion). The Auto Component Industry, in the coming years will act as an engine of Indian economy and manufacturing sector. To achieve this potential, the Auto Component Industry would require investments of over Rs. 16000000.000 millions (US $ 35 billion) during the period. It will also create employment opportunity for over 1 million skilled people.
