Developments and performance

 

As per data available from the Indian Machine Tool Manufactures Association, the machine tool industry had an overall increase in demand in 2010-2011. Demand for GPMs increased by 35% and for CNC is increased by 59%. For SPMs too, the trend was encouraging as the auto sector grew by more than 20% and investment in the Power sector and Heat exchanger market also grew. Machine Tool Udhna (MTU) division overall order booking increased by 80 % with GPM growth of 52% and CNC growth of 103%. The revenue grew by 30%.

 

1. Introduction of new products in market segments of education and vocational training.

2. Introduction of new products for infrastructure and power industries.

3. Introduction of new low cost turning centers for automobile and bearings industry.

4. Improvements in quality and technical specifications of existing machines to meet with customer requirements.

 

Growth in order booking at SPM increased by 105% and revenue grew by 118%. The increase was on the back of orders from the auto component industry and the manufacturers of Power equipment and the Oil and gas industries. On the trading side, there was growth in order booking of 70% and revenue by 14%.

 

Opportunities, threats and outlook

 

MTU

Growth in the automobile, infrastructure and vocational training markets will continue to be the key drivers in the year 2011-2012. New products are being added to cater to the expanding markets. Development of untapped geographical areas is also planned to expand the market reach.

 

In view of requirements to reduce lead time, investments are planned in sophiscated machine tools to manufacture heavy components.

 

The division has an extremely healthy order backlog and therefore is expected to have substantial growth in 2011-2012. New products to expand the range of turning, milling and drilling machines is also planned in 2011-2012.

 

SPM

High growth in Power, General Engineering and Auto sector would be the key drivers for the growth of SPM in 2011-2012.

 

With support from the Quickmill subsidiary in Canada, further growth to meet the requirements of the Power and Infrastructure sector is expected in 2011-2012

 

Trading

Hereto, the growth in the power sector (thermal and wind power) and Infrastructure will continue to be the key drivers for growth. However due to intense competition amongst international players, margins are under pressure and will continue to be so in the current year as well.

 

Division has planned to add more products into product basket as well as have focused approach to increase business volumes and ensure growth during 2011-2012.

 

The main threat to business in 2011-2012 would be the negative impact, if any, on the investment climate due to increasing costs of capital and borrowing. Competition both domestic and foreign will continue to be severe and therefore with increasing costs of raw material, margins will continue to be under pressure.

 

Batliboi Textile Engineering Group

Business Structure

 

The Textile Engineering Group comprises of Textile Machinery and Textile Air Engineering.

 

In Textile Air Engineering (TAE) the Company is a leader in manufacture and supply of climate control equipment for textile mills covering spinning, weaving and knitting sectors.

 

In the Textile Machinery business (TMB) the Company represents as Agents of International Textile Machinery manufacturers covering a range of spinning, knitting, processing and garmenting machinery.

 

Developments and performance

 

TAE

The textile industry showed positive signs of improvement throughout the financial year. Spinning yarn production as well as off-take was high, with yarn prices providing reasonable profits to the mills. Overall the mills performed well with increasing profits. However, in the last quarter of the financial year, cotton prices increased considerably with yarn prices not increasing proportionately.

 

The business environment continues to be highly competitive, with overseas competitors reducing prices and with margins under pressure due to increasing costs of raw material. The manufacturing of products for the Company’s subsidiary AESA, also added to the revenue growth of the division. The division had a growth of 80% in order booking, 57% in revenue and therefore a much improved profitability.

 

Pending order position is healthy and with the expected further improvement in the textile sector, 2011-2012 is expected to show further growth and improvement.

 

TMB

The year 2010-2011 witnessed one of the extreme fluctuations in the fortunes of different sectors of the Textile Industry. The result of this was better than targeted performance for some product line and disappointing for others.

 

Spinning Product line - On account of an unprecedented demand for cotton yarn coupled with a worldwide shortage of cotton, the prices of both these commodities rose sharply. Spinners decided to increase capacity to meet the increased demand that resulted in a very high level of booking for spinning equipment. Consequently, the spinning activities of this division doubled its targeted booking and billing.

 

Knitting and Processing Product line- The scenario was almost opposite. The rise in the input costs mainly of yarn and auxiliaries put pressure on margins making it nearly impossible for customers to execute orders in their hands at the price contracted. This resulted in nonfulfillment of contracts and consequently reduced demand for knitting and processing machines.

 

One of the major markets, Tirupur, suffered another major set back with the High Court ordering closure of all polluting dyeing units in Tirupur.

 

This is one of the main markets for knitting and resulted the drying up of orders from that market. However, orders were available from other geographical regions but with their Principal’s inability to fulfill customer’s delivery requirements, reduced their ability to book all the expected business. All these reasons resulted in lower than budgeted performance of both these product line.

 

Opportunities, threats and outlook

 

TAE

The textile industry continues to grapple with issues such as higher indirect taxes, increased power costs, high interest rates, unfavorable labor laws, export of cotton and high cost of this raw material. However, domestic demand has seen an upsurge and the industry is likely to see another year of good performance on the back of more expansions and green field projects.

 

Per capita consumption of fabric is very low, in India. With a rising middle class, domestic consumption will overtake export of textiles in the long term. Considering this, the long term outlook for the industry is encouraging.

 

TMB

During the year, several modernization proposals were postponed because of delay in clearance of TUF scheme by Government

 

The strong order book position will enable the division to once again show good results in Spinning activities. Knitting activities also has began the year with a good pending order position and prospects in the first two months show the trend to be positive enough to achieve good results for the year. In Processing also new products which were added in the previous year are likely to provide good sales and bottom line for the division.

 

The main thrust during this year would be to obtain new products in the Spinning and Processing sectors in order to provide broader avenues for business growth.

 

Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Group

 

Business Structure, developments and performance

 

The group provides turnkey solutions to large industries in the manufacturing, service and hospitality field.

 

Business Environment for industrial clients showed a recovery from slow phase experienced till March 2010.

 

Demand for package air-conditioning from clients in steel and refinery sector continued during the year. However due to longer cycle time for culmination of technical discussions, finalistion of specifications and techno commercial negotiations into orders, order booking during the year was lower than previous years.

Division had focused on completion of longer period pending projects and debt recovery. Some of the old debts being in dispute were written off during this year.

 

Performance was therefore affected and division ended with a loss.

 

Opportunities, threats and outlook

 

There are good opportunities in the current market scenario. Large PSU’s in steel and refinery sector have expansions planned for next 3/4 years. Division is gearing up to improve its operating skills and build a contract execution team to ensure timely execution of contracts. This would provide an opportunity for the division to turn the corner and recover from the financial setback.

 

Quickmill Inc

 

Business Structure, Developments and Performance

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is head quartered in Peterborough, Canada and is engaged in manufacture and sale of large size Gantry Drilling and Milling Machines. Its customers are mainly from energy and component manufacturing sectors.

 

The performance of Quickmill continued to be severely effected in 2010-11 due to the continued global economic slowdown in the world but primarily in the North American market. The South America Markets were sluggish as many key projects where delayed due to elections in the late 2nd quarter 2010-11 causing many government projects to be put on hold. The Middle East was also slow as the economy was not faring well and In Saudi Arabia key projects were outsourced to Korean manufacturers.

 

The Company launched Quickdrill range of machines in India during the year. The response was encouraging and positive.

 

Opportunities, Threats and Outlook

 

It is planned in 2011-12 to explore the European markets to widen the geographical base. Strategic focus on key market segments in boiler applications, heavy off road equipment and some aerospace sectors where there has been earlier success is also planned.

 

Competition from the Taiwanese companies offering machines at lower prices will continue to put pressure on margins. To offset the strong Canadian dollar and increase in steel prices, focus will be to locate new suppliers, offshore purchasing of key components and some volume base purchases on components to lower costs.

 

Quickmill restructured its operations in February 2011 to significantly reduce cost. It invested $271,076 CAD in research and development in fiscal 2011. With these initiatives, the Company is expected to improve its overall performance in 2011-2012 and return to profitability.

 

AESA Air Engineering SA

 

Business Structure, developments and performance

 

The Company’s subsidiary AESA is headquartered in France with subsidiaries in China, Singapore and India. It is engaged in the business of Air Conditioning and filtration in textile, tobacco, non woven and glass industries.

 

After difficult 2009-10, AESA and all its subsidiaries made a recovery in 2010-11 by posting marginal profit.

 

Opportunities, threats and outlook

 

With booming market in India and in Indonesia the short term prospective is good.

 

Growth in China is however, not coming as per expectations due to intense competition. For sustained growth, increased focus will be on China and on non Asian markets. Thrust will be on product re engineering and Research and Development initiatives in order to remain competitive and profitable.

 

With heavy restructuring of business operations in China and in France and with upbeat demand from India and Indonesia, the Company is expected to do well in the year 2011-12.
