MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Economic
Environment
After the economic slowdown caused by the global financial crisis in 2007 the Indian economy, which showed signs of recovery in 2009-10, continued to gain momentum. The growth rate which plummeted to 6.8% in 2008-09, rose upto 8% in 2009-10 and is expected to be 8.6% for 2010-11 as per the Advance Estimates of the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The positive feature of such turnaround is that this recovery has been broad-based with almost all the core sectors recording an impressive turnaround. Agriculture, which had a negligible growth in 2009-10, recorded an impressive 5.4% increase in growth.
All these positive developments were however marred to a
certain extent due to high inflation, mainly driven by high cost of food items.
A negative growth in agriculture in 2008-09, a severe drought in 2009-10
followed by unseasonal rains during 2010-11, coupled with inadequacies in the
public distribution system resulted in shortage of food crops. Further, due to
enhancement of income amongst the marginalized sections of the rural populace,
arising out of social security policies of the Government, there was an
increased demand for cereals and other food grains. All these factors
contributed to severe pressure on prices of food grains. Thankfully, due to
better monsoons and certain interventions made by the Government and the
Reserve Bank of
Looking into the medium to long term, it is expected that
this growth story would continue unabated and, in fact, would accelerate
further. All key economic indicators look favourable which leads us to the
expectation that the rate of growth will breach the 9% mark in 2011-12.
However, there are certain causes for concern. The recent political instability
in the African countries is having a spiraling effect on the crude prices which
is fuelling inflation and if the situation does not improve this may have an
adverse effect on the economy. Further,
Industry Structure and Development
The Domestic Battery Industry has had mixed fortunes during
the year. The telecom, infrastructure and export sectors continue to be
sluggish but this has been compensated by an unexpected high growth in the
automobile sector. The passenger vehicle segment grew by over 29% whilst the
commercial vehicle segment registered a growth of nearly 27% as compared to
2009-10.
As stated earlier,
Infrastructure continues to be a key focus area for the Government with massive investments planned in the near term. Rs. 2140000.000 millions has been allocated in the Union Budget 2011-12 for the infrastructure sector, which is 23% higher than the previous year and this amounts to 48.5% of the Gross Budgetary support to plan expenditure. Further, plans for modernization of Railways and setting up of Nuclear Power Plants would lead to considerable demand for the battery industry.
Performance
The Company is not only one of the leading manufacturers of
Lead Acid Batteries in
Automotive Batteries
The sales of automotive batteries registered a growth of 23% as compared to the previous year. However, the Company was unable to cater fully to the unanticipated demand by all segments of vehicle manufacturers due to capacity constraints and thereby take full advantage of the potential growth in the industry. In such a scenario, in line with its long term perspective, the Company took a conscious decision to give priority to the increased requirements of the vehicle manufacturers over the more profitable after market segment. The Company continues to remain the preferred supplier for most of the new vehicles launched during the year. These batteries have been developed by the Company through in-house R and D and several of these underwent rigorous tests including tests in overseas laboratories prior to being selected for supplies. The Company has already launched Deep Cycling Electric Bike batteries for electric bicycles and scooters and is also in the process of developing batteries for Stop-Start Micro Hybrid Vehicles in collaboration with The Furukawa Battery Company Limited, Japan. The Company is also exploring the possibility of developing and marketing Lithium-ion batteries for the Electric Vehicle Segment.
As informed in the earlier Directors Report, the marketing and distribution set up has been reorganized on the hubs and spokes model and presently the Company is operating from 204 locations. By the end of the current year the Company is expected to be present in 250 cities and towns. Through this initiative the Company has been able to reach out to the customers in ‘B’ Class and ‘C’ Class cities and also provide better after sales and warranty services.
The CRM initiative exidereachout.com
has helped in building a loyal customer base. The Company has also
been able to divert customers from the un-organised sector through its unique
initiative “Project Kisan”, which primarily services the rural markets. The
‘Humsafar’ module, under which batteries are sold through motor garages, and
the arrangements with several companies for distribution of the Company’s
products through their outlets have resulted in reaching the products at the
door step of the consumers. As stated earlier, the Company was unable to cater
to the entire market demand inspite of running its Plants in full capacity.
Consequently, the Company has invested Rs. 2750.000 millions in the year and
proposes to invest a further amount of Rs. 3700.000 millions in 2011-12 in
capacity expansion. A new facility for production of two wheeler batteries has
also been commissioned at Ahmednagar,
Industrial Batteries
Sales of Industrial batteries for 2010-11 registered a
growth of around 16% in terms of value and 13% by volume. This has been
possible in spite of severe competition and low cost imports in the domestic
market. Overall Infrastructure business has shown a growth of 15%, mostly
contributed by Solar at 68% and Traction segment at 62%. Telecom recorded a
comparatively lower growth of 9%. Power segment recorded a growth of 12% with a
very healthy order booking for future months. In Fast Moving Industrial Battery
segment, Sales for the year ended 31.03.2011 recorded a growth of around 18% in
terms of value and 13% in terms of volume. While there has been a marginal
degrowth of 5% in UPS OEM segment, Trade growth during the period was 18%.
Measures have been initiated for further upgradation of quality and performance
of VRLA Batteries. Exports had a growth of 40% by value and 26% by volume,
mostly through exports to
A lot of Research and Development work has been done in developing Maintenance Free Tubular Batteries for Telecom and UPS with long life. Flooded Batteries with 10 year’s Warranty are being developed for Telecom and Solar Applications.
Submarine Batteries
The Company continues to be the sole supplier for Submarine batteries to the Indian Navy and an accredited supplier to the Admiralty
Shipyard,
Exports
Inspite of depressed international market conditions,
exports of both the automotive as well as industrial batteries registered a
growth during the year. Exports of Industrial Batteries reached Rs. 1170.000
millions with a growth of 40% in value and 26% in volume, mostly through
exports to European countries and
Business / Operational Excellence
Providing credible value addition to stakeholders and being recognized as a responsible corporate citizen is the vision of the Company. Aiming towards this, the Company has implemented an exhaustive Total Quality Management System (TQM). Over the years it has been improved upon and fine-tuned to become more effective
in meeting the strategic challenges of the business. The latest techniques of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 6 Sigma and Lean Manufacturing now form an integral part of the TQM system – leading to Business Excellence.
The Company’s state-of-the-art factories manufacture products of the highest quality that enhance customer satisfaction. Quality is designed and built into products by using techniques like Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement System Analysis (MSA). Process Capability Index monitoring is done to ensure that products are well within the specification limits, leading to minimal rework and scrap.
With the support of TQM as a strategic initiative, the
company has crossed several milestones in its unending journey towards Business
Excellence. In regard to the Quality Management System (QMS), the Industrial
SBU has been certified to ISO-9001:2008, while the Automotive SBU has been
certified to ISO/TS-16949:2009 international standards. These certifications
include all the business processes of R and D, Manufacturing, Marketing, Sales
and after sales support, and Corporate functions. The Submarine SBU is also
certified to ISO-9001:2008. The certification body is the renowned TUV-Nord,
headquartered in
In addition to these, in the last few years, the Company has won several awards and accolades in Quality, Safety-Health-Environment, 5-S, Energy Conservation, Productivity and Quality Circles. In 2009 the Hosur plant won the prestigious Asia Manufacturing Excellence Award-Gold Category in Auto Ancilliary from Frost and Sullivan as well as the ABK-AOTS 5-S Award 1st Prize in Large Manufacturing category. For the same year the Shamnagar plant has won the TQM Role Model Quality Award from CII (ER).
The Company has also won awards and recognitions from its
valued customers like
maximizing the utilization of plant and equipment, the Company has implemented Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in the factories. The best methodology as given by the Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM) is being followed.
For outstanding efforts and results in TPM, the JIPM has conferred the “Award for TPM Excellence” to the Haldia plant for 2008 which has now been awarded also to the Hosur and Chinchwad plants in 2010. Other factories are also making efforts to win this coveted award in the near future.
Outlook
Due to the overall buoyancy the future outlook, as far as the Battery Industry is concerned, appears to be promising. The high growth rate in both auto and auto ancillary industries are expected to continue for the medium term. The huge expenditure proposed in the infrastructure sectors, including setting-up of power plants and modernization of Railways, would also result in better prospects for the Company’s business. Increase in disposable income and the growing middle class would lead to higher demand for quality and technologically superior products as compared to the cheaper substitutes. Stringent pollution control norms would act as a deterrent to small scale battery manufacturers in the unorganized sector thereby yielding more market share to the organized sector. The international markets are also showing signs of recovery which augurs well for the export of the Company’s products.
Subsidiary Companies
The Company has four wholly owned Indian subsidiaries, viz.
Chloride Metals Limited, Caldyne Automatics Limited, Leadage Alloys India
Limited and Chloride International Limited and three foreign subsidiaries, viz.
Chloride Batteries S.E. Asia Pte. Limited, Singapore, Espex Batteries Limited,
During the year 2010-11 the said company has achieved a turnover of Rs. 7447.900 millions representing an increase of over 36% over the previous year and profit before tax of Rs. 325.700 millions as compared to Rs. 537.400 millions in the previous year. Chloride International Limited, a 100% subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in the marketing and sale of Non-conventional Energy Systems like Solar Home Lighting and Heating System Panels, and Home UPS / Inverters etc. The net sales of the said company during 2010-11 amounted to Rs. 203.900 millions which was 70% higher than that of the previous year. The Profit Before Tax also increased from Rs. 3.700 millions to Rs. 4.600 millions.
The Company holds 100% of the share capital in Chloride
Batteries S E Asia Pte. Limited,
of GBP 6.230 million and made a Profit Before Tax of GBP 0.200 million which were 56% and 324% higher than the previous year.

PRESS RELEASES
Exide reports Rs 104 crore net profit on Rs 1250 crore
turnover
Kolkata, January 20, 2012:
Exide Industries Limited on Friday reported a net profit of Rs. 1040 millions
on a net turnover of Rs.12500 millions for the third quarter ended December 31,
2011. The Board of Directors of the company met in Kolkata on Friday to
consider the results.
For the first nine months of the current financial year, the company’s net
turnover and net profit were, Rs. 36680 millions and Rs. 3190 millions,
respectively.
Commenting on the quarter’s performance, the Managing Director and CEO, Mr T.V. Ramanathan said, “the
financial results for the third quarter of the current financial year 2011-12
mark a significant improvement in the company’s fortunes vis-a-vis the second
quarter. While sales improved six per cent, operating margin improved by 560
basis points as compared to the second quarter of the current financial year.
Consequently the net profit for the quarter is 104% higher sequentially even
after absorbing an exchange loss of Rs 103.600 millions due to currency
depreciation.
Whilst the sales volume of SBU-Automotive remains subdued in both OEM and
replacement segments the volume growth in two wheeler batteries was nearly 20%
during the quarter under review.
During the quarter under review lead prices in the international commodity
markets remained comparatively soft. However, this advantage to the company was
more than negated by the steep rupee depreciation that happened during the
quarter under review. Nevertheless, with current lower volatility of Indian
Rupee vis-a-vis US Dollar, the overall margins should further improve in the
fourth quarter.
In the case of SBU-Industrial despite the significant degrowth in Telecom
batteries, the overall volume growth for the quarter was nearly 13% due to
increased demand for Inverter and VRLA batteries.
The capital expenditure for the current year is expected to be Rs 2700
millions.
Kolkata, January 20, 2012
Exide Industries Limited,
Under these arrangements, East Penn will provide technical assistance and
support for the manufacture of automotive, motive power, standby, telecom, UPS,
solar and traction batteries for Exide’s various plants in
East Penn has also agreed to provide technical assistance and support to the

Exide Industries Limited,
Exide declares results for Q1 2011-12
Kolkata, 20.07.2011: Exide Industries Limited, the country’s
largest lead acid storage battery manufacturer and stored energy solutions
provider, today declared its first quarter results for the year 2011-12 (April
to June). While net turnover during the 3-month period rose 8 per cent to Rs. 12440.000
millions, net profit during the same period was Rs. 1632.000 millions, only as
compared to Rs. 1653.400 millions in the corresponding period of the previous
fiscal.
The company’s board of directors met in the city on Wednesday to approve the
financial results for the quarter April to June of 2011-12.
The slower growth in the automotive vehicle segment and the lower demand for
inverter batteries is now reflected in the company’s financial performance for
the quarter.
Talking about the performance of the company, the Managing Director and CEO of
Exide Industries Limited, Mr. T.V. Ramanathan said, “the demand growth that was
seen in the country’s automotive industry over the last several quarters has
not been sustained, resulting in lower OE demand. The prevalent power supply
situation and pleasant weather conditions in the north Indian markets also
resulted in a lower inverter battery sales during the Quarter.
Whilst the demand in the key high volume segments were subdued, the Lead prices
remained high resulting in a drop of 300 basis points in the operating margins
- at PBIDT level. Nevertheless, the current PBIDT (Profit before Interest,
Depreciation and Tax) which is 20.3% for the Quarter, is much above the
Industry average.
The demand contraction reduced the Company’s ability to pass on, in full, the
cost of Lead – 21% increase on YOY basis. These factors dampened sales and
profitability”.
“However, we feel these setbacks are short term and our faith and confidence in
the vibrancy of the Indian economy is very strong and there is no reason to
worry about the longer term growth prospects of the Company,” Mr Ramanathan
added.
In the interim the Company continue to make its planned investments aimed at
augmenting capacities in all its plants across the country to benefit when the
economy regains the robust growth. Capacity enhancement in the new Ahmednagar
plant is on schedule and capital expenditure of Rs. 3700.000 millions is
budgeted for this financial year.
Various Brand building and related marketing initiatives have been undertaken
since June 2011 and the favourable impact of these initiatives will be
reflected by Q3 of this year.
The Company is a debt free Company. The
Return On capital Employed (R.O.C.E) is healthy at 32%.
