INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The financial year 2011-12 was full of challenges and turbulence for the Indian passenger vehicle industry. With a background of two good years of 8.4 per cent economic growth, the financial year 2011-12 began on an optimistic note. However, during the course of the year it became evident that the Indian economy would fall short of these expectations and the GDP growth in 2011-12 is now estimated to be around 6.5 per cent. It was the second year in succession with a double digit inflation rate and the central bank raised interest rates to curb inflation. Prices of crude oil also shot up in the international market. With petrol prices deregulated the previous year, and diesel prices under government control, there was a high difference in the prices of the two fuels. This led to a severe demand distortion between petrol and diesel cars. High inflation, high interest rates and high petrol prices impacted affordability of cars, particularly in the smaller cost-sensitive segment. The Indian passenger vehicle market grew by a meagre 4.7 per cent. Sales of petrol cars declined by 13.7 per cent in the domestic market while diesel car sales grew by 37.4 percent with an additional wait list of customer bookings owing to capacity constraints. If the market is segmented on size, the sales of bigger cars (A3 segment and above) grew by 17.5 per cent and of utility vehicles by 16.5 per cent, while those of small and compact cars declined by 1.4 per cent.

 

The global economic environment was also uncertain following a natural calamity in Japan, a downgrade of credit rating of the U.S.A. and a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. The latter continues to be a dominant global factor and a source of volatility in the financial and currency markets. While export sales of the Company’s products to the European markets plummeted, the fall in volumes was made up to some extent by increase in sales to non-European markets.

 

On the cost side, a steep appreciation of the Yen increased the Rupee cost of direct and indirect imports and royalty. Although there was some benefit on export realizations, the quantum was limited.

 

The Company suffered an unfortunate labour unrest situation at its Manesar facility. Since then, the management

has taken measures to promote cordial industrial relations. The unrest impacted the production of vehicles, including in the diesel segment, which were in high demand.

 

The competitive intensity also increased with new model launches including in small and compact segment and aggressive price cuts. Since the Company is present predominantly in the small car segment and in petrol cars, and did not have a sizeable presence in utility vehicle segment, it was impacted more than industry as a whole and domestic sales fell by 11.2 per cent to 1,006,316 units. Net Sales, including exports, stood at Rs. 347,059 million, a decline of 3.2 per cent over the previous year. Efforts to revive the market by higher discounts and sales promotion activities, together with higher commodity prices and adverse foreign exchange rates, put pressure on profit. Net Profit after tax declined by 28.6 per cent to Rs. 16,351 million

 

While the year was marked by challenges on several fronts, the Company continued to take significant measures for the long term in the areas of capacity expansion, brand building, product development and network expansion. Customers rated the Company the best in customer satisfaction in India for the twelfth consecutive year in the J.D. Power survey. The Company launched refined versions of its Swift and DZire models, even while they were at the prime of sales and customer demand. The new models were received well and sales have increased further. During the year, the Company commissioned a second car plant at Manesar and augmented availability of diesel engines by outsourcing with the help of Suzuki Motor Corporation. Work on the development of a new R&D centre at Rohtak progressed according to schedule. The Company entered the utility vehicle space with the showcasing of a new model, the Ertiga. The Ertiga, designed as an alternative to sedans and targeted at families upgrading from compact and mid-size cars, has received a positive response and order books are full for the next few months.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

 

DOMESTIC MARKET

 

During the year, market conditions remained tough due to high interest rates, high petrol prices and an uncertain political and economic environment. As mentioned above, the difference between petrol and diesel prices shot up

causing a further decline in the demand for petrol vehicles and a customer waitlist for diesel vehicles. The percentage of diesel vehicles in domestic passenger vehicle sales increased from 36 per cent in 2010-11 to 47 per cent in 2011-12.

 

The sales of diesel models of the Company were limited by capacity constraints and therefore had a long customer waitlist for delivery built up during the year. Towards the fourth quarter of the year, the Company enhanced diesel engine availability by outsourcing from Fiat India Automobiles Limited. The competition launched new models and in several cases announced aggressive discounts and price cuts. The market share in passenger vehicles declined from the past levels of about 45 per cent to 38.4 per cent. However, the Company will make efforts to recover market share in the next few years given the popularity of its diesel models, enhanced diesel engine availability, renewed focus on efficient petrol vehicles and strong new launches, among other reasons. Four out of the top five selling models in India in the year were from the Maruti Suzuki stable.

 

During the year, the Company launched refreshed variants of the Swift and the DZire. These brands have been on waiting lists for delivery since their launch. The first Swift, launched six years ago, created great enthusiasm in the Indian passenger vehicle market with its contemporary European design, styling, features and performance. DZire is an attractive package for an urban family, offering plush, comfortable interiors and superior fuel efficiency. Maruti and Suzuki engineers ventured on the tough task of surpassing existing standards in their efforts together to enhance further the styling, features and fuel efficiency of the cars. The market response to the new models has been satisfying and the combined volumes have shot up from about 22,000 units to over 30,000 units per month.

 

At the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, the Company unveiled the Ertiga - Life Utility Vehicle. The global premiere of Ertiga

marks the entry of the Company in the UV segment, which will help further strengthen its leadership position in the industry. The Company also showcased the XA-Alpha, a concept compact SUV.

 

The Company continues to focus on network expansion to remain close to customers. During the year, the dealer

sales network reached 1,100 outlets in 801 cities and total service points expanded to 2,958 workshops in 1,408 cities. The Company is the only passenger vehicle manufacturer to achieve more than one thousand sales outlets in India.

 

Higher network penetration helps in capturing more sales from across geographies. The Company has the highest presence in terms of district coverage at 82 per cent. The rural segment has grown at a fast pace in the last 5 years. Better road infrastructure, higher minimum support prices and government social schemes have had a positive impact on the rural economy and increased purchasing power as well as aspiration levels. Rural sales, even in such a tough year, remained healthy and robust. In the year, rural sales contributed more than 25 per cent of total domestic sales.

 

The Company’s workshop network has about 25,000 dealer service technicians trained in technical skills and customer friendly processes. This has contributed to the Company being rated the best in Customer Satisfaction in India for the twelfth consecutive year in the JD Power Asia Pacific survey. For reducing the transit time and faster delivery of vehicles and parts to the southern states, the Company opened a transit vehicle park for vehicles and parts distribution centre at Bangalore.

 

The integrated business model of the Company’s dealerships proved valuable in a difficult year. The TrueValue business is an effective tool to promote new car sales by offering a hassle-free way for customers to exchange old cars for new or otherwise. During the year, dealerships sourced and sold over 230,000 pre-owned cars. Of these nearly 90 per cent resulted in exchange buying of new cars.

 

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

 

The Company’s large vehicle arc continued to drive demand in the aftermarket. To educate customers and encourage use of genuine parts for safety and better performance, it employed radio campaigns, service checkup

camps and carried out other marketing activities. The Company worked on the retail network for easy availability and expanding the range of accessories by introducing more than 300 new products.

 

Parts and accessories achieved a gross turnover of Rs. 23, 385 million, a growth of 16 per cent over the previous year.

 

EXPORTS

 

The export business was challenged by the weak global economic scenario, particularly in the European market.

 

The Company made strong efforts to develop the non-European markets and this compensated to a large extent for the fall in European sales. The Company worked in close co-ordination with the distributors and implemented various sales enablers and best practices that resulted in robust sales and improved brand presence. Non-European markets now account for 66 per cent of total exports up

 

In the year, the Company exported 127,379 vehicles, a decline of 8 per cent over the previous year. The Company’s premium small car A-star with low CO2 emission was the single largest selling model and its cumulative sales crossed the milestone of 300,000 units.

 

SUSTAINABILITY

 

The sustainability efforts of the Company focus on three dimensions of its performance - economic, environmental and social. The Company considers its various stakeholders to be essential partners in its sustainability journey and regularly reviews its stakeholder engagement mechanisms to address their concerns and needs in a proactive and progressive way.

 

The Company has made numerous improvements within the boundaries of its manufacturing facilities over the years. In 2011-12, the Company became the first automobile company in the country to register a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In due course, the project will allow the Company to earn tradable carbon credits.

 

The Company promoted sensitivity for the environment amongst its suppliers as well. The Company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects continued to expand in the year. Road safety, the Company’s largest CSR project, laid high focus on driver training for increasing safety on Indian roads. Besides, emphasis was laid on spreading awareness on road safety among school children and the general public. The Company had set a goal of training 500,000 persons in safe driving under its National Road Safety Mission in 2008. Of this, 100,000 were to be from the underprivileged sections of the society. The Company completed its 3-year training goal in December 2011. Many of the underprivileged trained in driving are using their skill to earn a living, either by joining an existing enterprise or setting up their own business. The driving training network of the Company consists of Institutes of Driving and Traffic Research (IDTRs), run in collaboration with state governments and Maruti Driving Schools (MDS), neighbourhood training centres owned and managed by the Company’s dealerships. There are now 6 IDTRs across the country and over 200 Maruti Driving Schools. During the year, the Company crossed the milestone of training 1 million people in safe driving in the last one decade.

 

The Company’s skill training programme expanded with new partnerships with Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). The Company is working in close partnership with state government, for overall up-gradation of 10 Institutes, including two ITIs for women and one ITI for Scheduled Cast / Scheduled Tribe students. Besides these Institutes, the automobile trade was upgraded in 38 ITIs across the country.

 

Development activities in four Manesar villages continued smoothly in the year. The key activities were school education, infrastructure development and skill training for employment. For initiating activities in four villages in Gurgaon, the Company undertook a needs assessment of the area. Focused activities will begin in these locations in the coming year.

 

Expressing commitment to workplace safety, the Company underwent the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Sequence (OHSAS) 18001 Certification in 2011-12. Over 100,000 man-hours of safety training were provided in 2011-12.

 

The Company measures and shares its performance in the area of sustainability with stakeholders in the form of a sustainability report. The report is in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 guidelines and is externally assured with an A+ certification.

 

OPERATIONS

 

The aggregate decline of 11.2 per cent in the domestic market in the year was accompanied by fluctuations in demand in each quarter, and also across models. There were changes in production lines for new versions of Swift and DZire and changes in the diesel and petrol product mix. This placed demands on the ability of the manufacturing operations and vendors to meet the fluctuating needs of the market while staying lean with inventories.

 

The manufacturing operations comprising three plants at Gurgaon and one plant at Manesar tried to meet customers’ requirements with flexibility and agility. A second plant was commissioned in Manesar taking the installed capacity of the Company to 1.26 million units per annum. However, with productivity improvements and kaizen or continuous improvement over the years, the Company is able to achieve a throughput of 1.5 million units per annum.

 

This second plant is built with high automation levels, world class facilities, ergonomically designed equipment and advanced technologies. It has capacity of 250,000 vehicles p.a. The Company has been able to reduce space per vehicle by 30 per cent by innovative rationalisation of total space. The plant was commissioned in September with substantial reduction in investment cost.

 

The Company has identified four pillars of manufacturing excellence – Safety, Productivity, Quality and Cost Reduction and these are achieved by involving all the employees in both generation of ideas and in execution. The Japanese practice of kaizen involves every employee looking for small and continuous improvement in his/her work area. The total adds up to big benefits in cost reduction, waste elimination, productivity and quality improvement. An additional advantage is that it engages and empowers employees and tries to leverage the entire organisation’s potential. The Company holds regular competitions in suggestion schemes and quality circles and duly recognizes the high performers.

 

TOOL ROOM AND DIE SHOP

 

The capability to design and develop tools and dies directly translates into the Company’s ability to develop new models at a faster pace and lower cost. The Company was able to enhance this capability and for the first time exported sheet metal dies to Suzuki for its overseas facilities. With automation and kaizen in the design and manufacturing process, the Company has been able to achieve a cost advantage of 25 to 40 per cent over imported dies.

 

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT SENSITIVITY IN OPERATIONS

 

The Company deployed some of the best technologies and global practices towards water and energy conservation using the principle of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The results over the years have been quite encouraging as the following graphs show. However, in 2011-12, there was an increase in per unit consumption of water and electricity owing to lower volumes.

 

To utilise the energy of the exhaust gases of the Gas Turbine Generators, Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRBs) and Steam Turbine Generators (STGs) were installed in the Gurgaon campus. In Manesar, a special Fluidised bed type incinerator was installed for cleaning of paint booth gratings instead of a direct burning type incinerator to reduce emissions.

 

COMPONENT AND RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

 

The challenge of demand volatility was equally applicable to vendor manufacturing operations as it was to in house manufacturing. Parts which were specific to a diesel or petrol model experienced greater volatility. The Company’s vendors rose to the occasion and supported it with flexibility and agility to meet the changing requirements.

 

The challenge of macroeconomic volatility was felt on the cost side also as changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates were pronounced. The upward movement of the Yen combined with a downward movement of the Rupee made the Company’s direct imports and vendors’ imports expensive. The Company launched a major drive to localize imported parts and inner parts and created a dedicated organization structure to achieve this objective. Besides these areas, focus on yield improvement, consolidated buying and value analysis and value engineering helped offset the impact. The Company made efforts to develop competency in commodity hedging and some commodity exposure was also hedged.

 

During the year, the Company also benefited from lower duty, as India’s Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with Japan, Korea, Thailand and ASEAN were notified. Taking the benefits of the FTAs further, locally produced components were exported to Suzuki subsidiaries in Thailand and Indonesia, presenting an additional opportunity for suppliers.

 

For the business to scale up to global levels, Tier 2 vendors need to be strengthened in terms of robustness of manufacturing and quality systems and management bandwidth. The Company is devoting resources to their up gradation as they will form the foundation of sustainable growth of the Indian car industry.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

As mentioned in the Overview section, the Company was impacted by lower sales owing to a tough macroeconomic scenario and higher cost owing to adverse foreign exchange rates and commodity price increases. To increase sales, the Company expanded its network reach, tried to leverage rural sales, targeted niche customer segments and made efforts to enhance diesel engine supplies. On profit margins, the Company made strong efforts to reduce cost and localize and was also forced to pass on some price increase to the customer. While the Net Profit declined as is shown in the following abridged profit and loss statement, the Company has taken some strong and concrete measures to enhance revenues and profits:

 

  • Diesel engine availability is expected to improve to about 400,000 units in the year 2012-13 from about 250,000 units in 2011-12. Realising the potential demand for diesel vehicles, a further capacity expansion is planned in phases.

 

  • The Company has entered the utility vehicles segment with the Ertiga, where it had a miniscule presence till now, and plans to strengthen this position with more products.

 

  • As mentioned in the Raw Material and Component Procurement section, the Company is making focused efforts on localizing import content and has created a dedicated organization structure for this.

 

  • The Company has received permission from the Reserve Bank of India to take hedges on foreign exchange exposure due to its vendors’ inner part imports. This will facilitate centralized and fast decisions on foreign currency hedges for the entire value chain.

 

  • The Company has also constituted joint teams of Finance and Supply Chain functions to explore possibilities of hedging its commodity exposure in copper, aluminium and precious metals.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Though the Indian passenger vehicle industry has reasons and prospects to grow at a good pace for a long time,

the journey will not be smooth, as was seen in the year 2011-12. There were challenges in terms of adverse macroeconomics, demand slowdown, petrol-diesel price distortion, adverse foreign exchange rates and turbulence in industrial relations. The market share and profitability of the Company were adversely impacted. While the growth prospects in India are fundamentally positive, challenges like these and the impact of business cycles cannot be ruled out. Competitive intensity will also increase in the future. The differentiating factor is the management’s commitment not to accept adversity, to learn from every opportunity and emerge stronger, to look for areas in its sphere of influence rather than surrendering to external adversity, to keep investing and strengthening for the long term, promote the well being of its stakeholders and stay focused on the needs of its customers. The Company has some good enablers in the areas of management talent and commitment, relevant technology, a proximate and caring network, sensitivity to new customer lifestyles and potential segments, a culture of efficiency and cost consciousness, promotion of superior management practices in its vendors and dealers and scalability in all these areas. Unfazed by the past, but avoiding complacence at all times, the Company will keep working hard to strengthen its market leadership and profitability and its ability to continue serving society.

SEEING STRONG DEMAND IN RURAL MARKETS: MARUTI SUZUKI

 

The overall sentiment in the auto industry remains bad, but growth in rural markets has been strong, Mayank Pareek, Maruti Suzuki's managing executive officer, marketing and sales, said on Monday.

There has been a continuous decline in volumes in the last 4 months, and diesel vehicle sales are also down as the cost of ownership (high fuel prices, expensive loans) has gone up, Pareek told CNBC-TV18.

"I think difficult is the statement. It is all worst time auto industry has seen in long time," he said.

The rural sales, however, are up 19 percent this year, he said, adding that the company started focusing on the rural markets during the slowdown in 2008, and this rural push has helped it gain market share.

Rural markets now contribute to as much as 28 percent of Maruti's total sales, compared with just 4 percent in 2008, he added.

Domestic car sales plunged 26 percent to a 12-year low in Feb, according to data published by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. Maruti's sales declined 8 percent year-on-year, last month.

The company has already halted production twice this month in the wake of the slowdown. Pareek said the company would continue with its strategy to control inventory by stopping production on select days, instead of pushing stocks up at the dealers end, in the wake of the sluggish retail demand.

Many auto companies have started discounts and special offers on their cars to lure customers. Pareek noted that the discounts are at an all time high and so this could be a good time to buy cars.
