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.

OPERATIONS

 

Subject registered revenue growth of37%during FY12.

 

On a standalone basis, the Company saw a net turnover of Rs 81579.000 Millions as against Rs 54905.000 Millions during the previous financial year. EBIDTA was at Rs 6845.000 Millions as compared to Rs 5699.000 Millions during the previous financial year. The net profit for the year was Rs 1813.000 millions, as against Rs 1983.000 millions in the previous fiscal. The raw material cost push continued to pose a challenge.

 

The consolidated net turnover of the Company increased to Rs 121533.000 Millions during FY12, as compared to Rs 88677.000 millions in FY11. The consolidated EBITDA was Rs 11987.000 millions for FY12 as compared to Rs 10160.000 Millions for the previous financial year. On consolidated basis, Apollo Tyres earned net profit of Rs 4,099 million for FY12 as against Rs 4402.000 Millions for the previous financial year.

 

The amount available for appropriations, including surplus from previous year amounted to Rs 8282.000 millions. Surplus of Rs 6710.000 Millions has been carried forward to the balance sheet after providing for dividend of Rs 252.000 millions, dividend tax of Rs 41.000 millions, debenture redemption reserve of Rs. 279.000 millions and general reserve of Rs 1000.000 millions.

 

The Company entered new markets and consolidated its operations in existing ones, with focus on profitability and internal efficiencies.

 

 

PRODUCTION

 

The Company's production has shown a consolidated growth of 16%, in production tonnage, by generating an output of 510,537 metric tonnes (MT) as against 438,524 metric tonnes in the previous year.

 

 

RAW MATERIALS

 

Raw material prices continued their upward march in the first half of the year on back of rising commodity prices. The Euro Zone economic issues and relatively lower GDP growth rates in China and India had a moderating effect on demand for major commodities. This in turn acted as a check on soaring prices of major commodities in the second half of the year with prices stabilizing at high levels. However, the impact of stabilization in major commodities prices in the second half of the year in India was partially offset by the weakening of the rupee against the US Dollar.

 

The natural rubber consumption in India has overtaken production leading to a deficit in the country. The price intervention scheme announced by the Government of Thailand led to firming up of international prices in latter part of the year.

 

Crude oil prices breached the US$ 100 per barrel level, despite decelerating rate of growth in the wake of a global slump.

 

There was an increase of 18% in the prices of crude over previous year. Derivatives of crude, which are used as raw materials, surpassed the crude trend line and registered a disproportionate increase leading to a steep increase in the prices of synthetic rubber and carbon black.

 

In India, the antidumping duty continued on import of nylon tyre cord fabric, carbon black and rubber chemicals. Further a safeguard duty recommendation was also made on carbon black imports from China.

 

For FY12, Apollo Tyres continued its focus on vendor relationship management, procurement from low cost sources, raw material substitution and efficient current asset management.

 

 

MARKETING

 

FY12 was a year of new markets for the Company's operations which commenced exports to Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. However, the area of focus was the Middle East, where Apollo opened its largest office outside its 3 geographical manufacturing operations.

 

For the passenger car tyre category, emphasis was on service and delivery. To begin with, Apollo Direct tyre helpline, which enables customers to select and buy the appropriate Apollo tyre for their vehicle by calling on a toll free number, was launched. Apollo Super Zone, large branded retail outlets with a host of facilities like wireless internet, lounges and entertainment centres, were opened in cities like Delhi, Dubai and Mumbai to ensure that consumers have a pleasant tyre buying experience. The company sponsored the ET Zigwheels Awards 2012 to recognise and facilitate the achievers in the automobile space. Safe Drive campaigns to create awareness amongst consumers regarding tyre maintenance and care continued unabated, muchlike previous year.

 

In the commercial vehicle category, while service and delivery continued to be important, the focus was on empowering customers to derive most out of their tyres. To this end, Indian operations announced the 1st Apollo Fleet of the Year Awards which recognised and upheld best practice in the transport sector; while the Apollo Radial Service Assistance programme looked at improving operational efficiencies of fleet owners. The concept of branded retail outlets was introduced for the said category as well, with 2 such outlets being opened in transhipment hubs in Delhi and Tamil Nadu. Trust built on Millions of Miles, the all-India customer connect programme, was launched to understand consumer opinions regarding Apollo tyres and, identify and address their concerns.

 

In the company's Europe operations, in FY12, the focus area was new product development and it was led by ultra high performance and high performance passenger car tyres for both Apollo and Vredestein brand. Europe operations successfully organised two major product launches. Apollo Aspire 4G was the first and was unveiled at Geneva Motor Show. This was closely followed by Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and Sportrac 5, a new range of ultra high performance and high performance tyres, being showcased in Budapest.

 

 

EXPORTS

 

India operation's exports grew the most in the light truck cross ply category by almost 29%. The other major export categories were truck-bus cross ply and passenger car radials, with a growth of 17% and 19% respectively. Once again, passenger car tyres emerged as the highest revenue earners in the export basket. A highlight of the past year was the introduction of truck bus radial tyres in South East Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

 

Like the previous year, in FY12, the company's European operations largely focused on demand fulfillment in domestic replacement market and there wasn't much remaining for exports. South African operations saw export contribute a healthy32%to the revenue pie, an increase of almost 8% over last year.

 

 

EXPANSION PROGRAMME/FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

In FY12, the company, at its India operations, successfully completed a 20 MT/day expansion for production of off highway tyres at its Kalamassery unit in Kerala with an investment of Rs.400.000 Millions.

 

Apollo Tyres' most recent greenfield facility in Chennai, India is quickly reaching its planned capacity. Currently, Chennai unit manufactures 8,100 passenger car tyres per day and 4,200 truck-bus radial tyres per day; production levels are expected to achieve 16,000 passenger car and 6000 truck-bus radial tyres per day by Q3 FY13.

 

At Europe operations, a state-of-the-art mixer was installed at the Company's facility in Enschede, the Netherlands. This will make the Company self-sufficient in compound mixing capacity.

 

To improve product quality, Apollo Tyres South Africa decided to invest in a world class Steel Cord Calendaring facility at its manufacturing unit in Ladysmith; it's expected to go on line by end ofQ2FY13.

 

Considering the current economic and business environment, prevailing sentiments in the industry and consumer expectations, the company is working on various proposals to augment production capacities to meet the challenges of a rising market demand.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

The year under discussion closed with a 37% addition to the company’s revenues, with a 18% growth in operating profits and with net profits being maintained at earlier levels, despite a 32% increase in raw material costs over the previous year. Raw material prices escalated in the first half of FY12 and stabilised to a large extent in the second half of the year. However, relief on natural rubber prices was nullified due to higher cost of oil-based raw materials – compounded by an unstable political situation in the Middle East.

 

From a revenue segmentation position, India Operations accounted for 67% of net sales, Europe 23% and Africa 10%. The ratio between Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEM to Replacement (including exports from respective manufacturing locations) was maintained at 27% and 73% respectively. In terms of products, truck bus tyres and passenger vehicle tyres account for the largest share at48%and33%respectively.

 

Overall, FY12 was a year of introduction of more advanced products across every single customer segment and the implementation of robust quality processes for the future.

 

 

ZONALOVERVIEWS

 

After a decade of stable growth, barring the slowdown in 2008, the Indian economy fell short of steam with weak industrial growth bringing down overall economic growth to 6.5% in FY12. The year was marked by rising interest rates and inflation, and hikes in fuel prices.

 

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the auto industry registered limited growth, with passenger vehicle sales growing by 4.6% and commercial vehicle sales growing by 18.2% -- the latter being driven by a demand boost in the light commercial vehicle category.

 

In the past fiscal, according to the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers’ Association, the Indian tyre industry, which closely mirrors prevailing sentiments in the automotive sector, is estimated to have clocked a turnover of around Rs 300 billion, with exports accounting for Rs.36 billion. Dominated by few large manufacturers, the total production was recorded at around 1.5 million metric tonnes.

 

The commercial vehicle tyre segment grew by a marginal 3% over the previous year, in terms of units produced. Largely gaining from an increase in profitability of fleet owners due to a multitude of factors – ranging from ability to pass on increased fuel cost to consumers and better efficiencies in operations. The light commercial vehicle and industrial tyre segments registered maximum growth, with both growing a healthy 11%. The light commercial vehicle segment benefitted hugely from the spike in small commercial vehicle sales.

 

Overall tyre imports rose by nearly 17% in FY12, boosted by demand amongst original equipment manufacturers. Imports in the passenger car tyres category grew at 13%.

 

Throughout the period under discussion, the European Union’s economy experienced considerable turbulence for various reasons, including high level of sovereign debt, slowdown in global demand and low consumer confidence. The impact was felt on the GDP growth which was around 1.4%, a decline from the previous year’s 1.9%, with the central and eastern European countries marginally outperforming their western counterparts. Though the strongest and largest economy in Europe, Germany, continued to provide economic leadership with GDP growth at almost 3%

 

During early 2012, the European Central Bank injected significant liquidity into the banking system which calmed down markets and brought much needed stability. The Euro appeared to be volatile against all major currencies with the exchange rate against the US$ peaking to 1.44 before touching a low of 1.28 and averaging at 1.37 during FY12.

 

Despite uncertain economic conditions, new car registrations in Europe grew by 2% over the previous year.

 

For the European tyre industry, the year started with continued strong demand for passenger vehicle tyres. With inventories at a low level, it was difficult to satisfy demand from all customers. However, sales slowed down following a warm winter leaving inventory both with manufacturers and dealers. In Europe, winter tyre sales accounted for 33% of total sales. The tyre market saw a degrowth of2%in CY11.

 

In South Africa, GDP growth was at 3.1% for CY11. The country’s Central Bank kept borrowing costs unchanged for a record 16 months after inflation slowed in February, easing concerns that price pressures may be spreading in the African continent’s largest  conomy. However, economic hurdles appeared in the guise of exchange rate fluctuations - with an almost30%swing against the US$ – and precariously balanced relationship with labour and unions.

 

In the South African automobile market, the domestic passenger car segment grew as much as 17.5%; but well below peak levels witnessed in 2005-07. The light commercial vehicle market expanded by 11.6%, while demand in the medium and heavy vehicle segment rose by around 21%. The tyre import market in CY11 accounted for almost 50% of products sold across all segments, putting severe pressure on the domestic industry and restricting its growth.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian tyre industry, in comparison to its western counterparts, lags behind in radialisation trends. Radialisation levels for passenger vehicle tyres were maintained at 98%, while for commercial vehicle segment it was pegged at 22% – a significant growth of nearly25%over last year.

 

The top 5 players – Apollo, Birla, Ceat, JK Tyres and MRF – command over 70% of the market, with product offerings across all major categories. India continues to be driven by the commercial vehicle tyre segment, where truck and bus tyres contribute as much as 55% of the industry’s revenue. The replacement market accounts for 70% of the revenues, though the OE segment continues to play a crucial role in terms of volumes and ensuring

product acceptability in the consumers’ mind.

 

Amongst those who set up new manufacturing units in the country were Bridgestone, JK Tyres and MRF. Bridgestone’s Rs 4.3 billion plant in central India was completed in July 2011. The unit is geared to produce 12,000 truck-bus radials and 120,000 passenger car radials every month. Both JK Tyres and MRF, like Apollo, chose the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu as their preferred manufacturing location. JK Tyres’ facility, which was completed in February 2012 with an investment of Rs 10 billion, is equipped to manufacture around 208,000 passenger car radials and 33,000 truck-bus radials each month. MRF’s facility, built with an investment of Rs.9 billion, has a capacity of 350,000 passenger car radials and 60,000 truck-bus radials per month. Ceat also ramped up capacity at its unit in Western India with a radial capacity of 150 tonnes per day. The Michelin facility in Tamil Nadu with a capacity of 2 million truck-bus radial tyres per year, is currently under construction and expected to begin production later in the year.

 

Apollo’s manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu, which will attain full capacity in December 2012, has been constructed to accommodate a manufacturing capability of 480,000 passenger car radials and 180,000 truck-bus radials each month.

 

Apollo, Birla, BKT, Falcon, JK Tyres and MRF also sought to expand capacities in their existing facilities – with combined investment to the tune of Rs 35 billion.

 

In FY12, while production of truck-bus and passenger car tyres went up by a marginal 3% and 4% respectively, light commercial vehicle and industrial tyre production jumped 11%. The total production in the industry grew by around 5% – a trend which is expected to continue in the near future.

 

Exports out of India grew in most categories and registered the highest growth of 65% in the off-the road tyre segment.

 

In policy developments, legislation on tyre labeling is scheduled to be implemented in Europe in November 2012; most manufacturers are working towards achieving compliance for the same. With the new tyre labelling system, consumers will be informed upfront on where each tyre stacks up on the 3 key areas of rolling resistance, wet grip and exterior noise.

 

In South Africa, the 4 local manufacturers – Apollo, Bridgestone, Continental and Goodyear – continue to compete in a market which is dominated by imports. Growth plans were mostly put on hold due to political and economic concerns in various African countries.

 

In CY11 for domestic manufacturers, while the passenger car tyre category grew marginally, truck bus tyres had a flat year in South Africa

 

 

SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE

 

For FY12, Apollo Tyres’ India operation’s sales were over Rs 81 billion, a growth of around 47% over the same period last year. In terms of overall revenue segmentation, 56% of revenues came from the Indian replacement and 34% from original equipment manufacturers, with the remaining from exports. The two large product segments continued to be truck-bus and passenger car accounting for 65%and16%of revenues.

 

For India operations, the area of concern was passenger car tyre sales, which remained flat, compared to the high growth of previous years. This may be attributed to low growth in car sales, which took a blow from high interest rates and rising fuel prices in FY12.

 

For the company’s India operations, FY12 was a year of new export markets in Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. However, the area of focus was the Middle East, with Dubai as the hub of operations. Towards this, Apollo opened its largest office outside its operations in India, South Africa and the Netherlands, in Dubai.

 

To boost consumer sentiment and reward loyal business partners, the company introduced a slew of initiatives.

 

For the passenger car category emphasis was on service and delivery. To begin with, Apollo Direct – a toll free helpline, to enable customers to select and buy the appropriate tyre was launched. Apollo Super Zone, large branded retail outlets with a host of facilities like wireless internet, lounges and entertainment centres, were opened in cities like Delhi, Dubai and Mumbai to ensure that consumers have a pleasant tyre buying experience. The company sponsored the 2012 to recognise and facilitate achievers in the automobile space. For its offroading customers, it brought out the perfect offering in the form of a premium coffee table book – which covered a variety of subjects in the 4x4 category. In association with Mahindra and Mahindra, its OE partner, Apollo co-sponsored the annual monsoon driving adventure. Safe Drive campaigns to create awareness amongst consumers regarding tyre maintenance and care continued unabated, much like previous years.

 

In the commercial vehicle category, while service and delivery continued to be important, the focus was on empowering customers to derive the maximum out of their tyres. To this end, India Operations announced the 1st which recognised and upheld best practice in the transport sector. While the Apollo Radial Service Assistance programme looked at improving operational efficiencies of fleet owners. Over 100 retreaders, now known as Apollo Certified Retreaders, were trained and equipped by the company for the benefit of its commercial vehicle customers. Similarly, the company also trained and equipped over 200 tyre fitters, referred to as Expert Tyre Fitters. The concept of branded retail outlets was also introduced for the commercial category, with 2 such outlets being opened in transport hubs in Delhi and Tamil Nadu. Trust Built on Millions of Miles, the all-India customer connect programme, was launched for the commercial cross ply consumers to identify and address their concerns.

 

A significant milestone was achieved in Q4 FY12 when Apollo’s iconic tyre manufacturing facility in Chennai produced its millionth truck-bus radial tyre; the unit went on-stream with an initial production of 250 tyres a day in April 2010, and was gradually ramped up to cross 4,000 a day. In terms of new products, India operations launched XT-7 Gold+, a benchmark product in the moderate load segment.

 

For the European operations, Apollo Vredestein B V registered an impressive topline growth of 16% in FY12 over the previous year. This translates into a growth of around3%in passenger car tyres and5% in agriculture tyres, in volume terms; the rest is a result of price hikes and an improved sales mix. Apollo Vredestein is an established player in the replacement market in Europe. Not surprisingly then, 78% of the revenue came from replacement while original equipment manufacturers accounted for remaining 19%. The passenger car tyre category constituted 83% of the total revenue, agriculture tyres contributed 14%.

 

In FY12, new product development was led by ultra high performance and high performance passenger car tyres for both Apollo and Vredestein brands. Europe operations successfully organised 2 major product launches. Apollo Aspire 4G was unveiled at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show. It was closely followed by Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and Sportrac 5, the next generation in this range being showcased in Budapest at the Hungaroring Formula 1 race track. Critics and consumers alike appreciated these latest offerings from the company.

 

Moreover, the successful introduction of Aspire 4G in Geneva was given an extra push by “highly recommended” test results of the Apollo Amazer 3G Maxx. The latter received a favourable report card from the European summer tyre tests conducted by ADAC, TCS and OEMTC; the results assure customers of the highest quality. During the year under consideration, Apollo Vredestein also presented its white sidewall classic tyre, making a clear statement about its ambition to grow in this niche market as well as its technological capabilities.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

With the Indian economy showing a moderate growth trend, reasonable growth is expected in the automotive industry. As per the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the Indian automotive industry is expected to grow about 10-12% on the back of unfulfilled demand from FY12 and expected interest rate cuts in FY13. Subsequently, the Indian tyre industry is estimated to grow by around 10%, though challenged by an inverted duty structure and continued high raw material prices.

 

Rural pockets of the country have gradually emerged as promising markets for both commercial and passenger vehicle products. In keeping with this, almost all major tyre manufacturers are preparing to build their passenger car and light truck tyre production capacities.

 

In terms of raw materials, the global tyre industry’s focus is likely to be on efficient inventory management, vendor relationship management, procurement from low cost sources and raw material substitution. In the near future, major raw material prices are expected to exhibit an upward trend in the first half of FY13 with natural rubber and crude oil based raw materials like synthetic rubber and carbon black also firming up.

 

In Europe, most economists are forecasting moderate growth within the Eurozone in the near future. Individual governments are expected to strike a delicate balance between spending cuts to manage the deficit and economic growth initiatives leading to job creation. Austerity programmes together with continued liquidity injection by the European Central Bank will help in regaining investor confidence and assist economic stability. Inflation remains a concern on the back of high prices of crude oil, which is the result of the political situation in various countries in the Middle East.

 

Outlook for Apollo Vredestein B V is largely positive, even though it is expected that market growth in Europe will be limited. For brand Vredestein, key to growth will be new product development and entry into new markets. Products from the premium segment under brand Vredestein are slated to be introduced in key growth markets including India, South Africa and the Middle East. Brand Apollo, which is now well-positioned in Europe, is now marketed in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland and Greece in addition to the existing markets of Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Italy.

 

In South Africa, domestic economic growth remains constrained. However, improved performance of the African economy in Q4 FY12 and a few positive developments in the global economy indicate a slightly better outlook than the previous year. Yet FY13 looks to be challenging with South Africa’s economic environment being affected by the global economic outlook, an impact of the European debt crisis and commodity price volatility in particular.

PRESS RELEASE

 

APOLLO TYRES TARGETS NEW EMERGING MARKETS

 

APRIL 10 2013

 

The country's larger tyre manufacturer Apollo Tyres is looking to aggressively drive into new emerging markets as growth in its core markets of India, Europe and South Africa stagnate.

The company has identified a new manufacturing plant in South-east Asia and hopes its international business will contribute over 60% of total turnover in the next five years. CNBC-TV's Ronojoy Banerjee spoke to Neeraj Kanwar, managing director and vice chairman of the company to understand the change in strategy.

As part of this new strategy. the company will reduce India's share to its total turnover by nearly half in five years. Kanwar says, "India's share of turnover through exports has been around 65%.We are now working towards increasing the focus of overseas markets such that the total share will go up to 60%."

To increase focus on new emerging markets of Asean and Latin America, Apollo will invest around USD 500 million in a new manufacturing plant in Thailand. Kanwar says, "We have identified Thailand for a new project. The plant will be modelled like our Chennai plant. In the first phase we will make bus and passenger vehicle tyres."

Apollo Tyres has also decided to put its QIP plans on hold for the time being. Kanwar says, "We have put QIP on hold.  We have a one-year window and we will take a call on it later." With heavy investments lined up in the pipeline over the next five years, Kanwar will face the challenge of lowering the company's debt, which currently stands at around Rs 22000.000 Millions for its India operations. But for now the management is not particularly perturbed.

 

 

 

APOLLO TYRES OPENS ITS GLOBAL R AND D CENTRE IN THE NETHERLANDS

 

JANUARY 14, 2013

 

Development and testing of passenger vehicle tyres to be driven from Europe

 

Apollo Tyres Limited announced the opening up of its global R and D centre in Enschede, the Netherlands. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub for the development and testing of car and van tyres for all product brands -- Apollo, Vredestein and Dunlop (32 countries in Africa) -- of the company. Apollo Tyres Global R and D BV will start operations with more than 100 R and D specialists from various parts of the world, including 20 car tyre specialists from India and South Africa, and will later be scaled-up to nearly 150 people.

 

"The Global R and D Centre is an important milestone in our journey to become a $6 billion tyre company by 2016. This world-class centre will play a key role in bringing cutting-edge technology and innovation in the development of car and van tyres of the future," said Onkar S Kanwar, Chairman, Apollo Tyres Limited during the inauguration of the R and D centre.

 

Deputy Chief of Mission from the Indian Embassy to the Netherlands, R K Singh and Mayor of Enschede, Honourable Peter den Oudsten, inaugurated this facility in the city of Enschede. Onkar S Kanwar, Chairman and Neeraj Kanwar, Vice Chairman and Managing Director along with the senior management team of Apollo Tyres were present on the occasion.

 

R and D Restructuring

 

Recently, Apollo Tyres restructured its Research and Development team, across its 3 key geographies, to create synergy and greater alignment to the company's growth aspirations; and to generate speed and relevance while entering new markets. The new structure connects the entire organisation via 2 major R and D centres -- for commercial purposes and car tyres. In line with this strategy, the company is bringing together its R and D resources comprising almost 250 people in Africa, Europe and India to create two global R and D hubs -- Enschede, the Netherlands for Car and Van tyres and Chennai, India for Commercial Vehicle tyres.

 

The 2 locations were chosen based on current and potential markets. The Middle East and Asia form nearly 59 percent of the global market for commercial vehicle tyres, while Europe and North America represent 51 percent of the car tyre market. Both R and D departments will be in close contact with OEMs and replacement clients, test centres, raw material suppliers and research institutes.

 

Neeraj Kanwar, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Apollo Tyres Limited said, "While we have merged our research and development resources, smaller teams across key markets will work on customising each global product to market requirements and testing under local conditions. Going forward, R and D will continue to be the cornerstone of our vision, as we plan to ramp up the R and D spend to 3% of our sales revenue."

 

According to Peter Snel, Group Head, PV R and D, Apollo Tyres Limited, "Apollo has taken a bold strategic decision to centralise its R and D activities for car tyres in Europe. Given that Europe is one of the most advanced automotive markets in the world, the facility will help Apollo to further step up efforts to build tyres for the future. It will also strengthen our relationship with the global OEMs."

 

 

APOLLO TYRES CONFERRED WITH TIRE MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR AWARD

 

FEBRUARY 8, 2013

 

Awarded during the Tire Technology Expo in Cologne, Germany

 

On February 6, 2013 Apollo Tyres was honoured with the Tire Manufacturer of the Year award, at the Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence 2013. The ceremony took place in Cologne, Germany, at the Tire Technology Expo. The jury comprised an expert panel of tyre industry professionals and thought leaders.

 

Said Onkar S Kanwar, Chairman, Apollo Tyres Limited, "Manufacturing excellence, innovation and sustainable business practices have long been our cornerstones for progress; and we have made considerable progress around each. Six Sigma initiatives, emphasis on automation and state-of-the-art machinery manned by skilled resources, product innovations and service solutions are now an integral part of our value proposition to customers. A global recognition like Tire Manufacturer of the Year, strengthens our resolve to make even more aesthetically superior and technologically advanced tyres for our consumers worldwide."

 

Starting 2011, Apollo Tyres commenced its second strategic 5-year growth journey with the goal of securing a place in the world's Top 10 tyre makers. The company is considering both organic and inorganic routes to expansion beyond its 3 domestic markets in Asia, Europe and Africa.

 

Commented Graham Heeps, Editor, Tire Technology International, "This is a deserved first win for Apollo Tyres. The company's rapid growth over the past decade has been impressive, but for me it's Apollo's commitment to meeting the specific challenges of local markets - exemplified by the newly opened R&D center in Europe - that really stands out."

 

In a bid to reach out to its customers across the globe and offer them products which are suitable for their specific needs, Apollo Tyres has also decentralised its R and D structure with centres in India and the Netherlands; the former focusing on commercial vehicle tyres, while the latter geared exclusively to develop passenger vehicle products. The company is also looking at establishing its operations in South East Asia and Australia, after the Middle East last year.

 

About the Tire Technology International Awards for Excellence and Innovation:

 

The Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence reward the smart thinking and hard work of the tire design and manufacturing industry. The shortlist is compiled from nominations received from the readers of Tire Technology International, and with the input of the magazine's editorial team.

SURVEY: 79% CARS IN UAE AND SAUDI ARABIA DRIVE WITH INCORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE

 

JANUARY 30, 2013

 

Finding part of an initiative in each country to educate motorists on tyre care and maintenance to bring down the prevailing accident rate

 

Data from the Safe Drive Campaign conducted by Apollo Tyres from January 10 - 12, 2013 in Dubai, UAE and January 23 - 24 in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, in partnership with Lulu Hypermarket, revealed that 79% of cars checked had incorrect inflation pressure; 53% of drivers were even unaware of the recommended inflation pressure for their vehicles' tyres; and, only 20% were aware of the presence of a tread wear indicator on a tyre.

 

During these Apollo Safe Drive campaigns at Lulu Hypermarket, representatives from Apollo Tyres' technical team conducted free checks on visitors' car tyres and informed motorists on how to extend the life of their tyres and avoid accidents through proper tyre care. In this campaign, motorists were also informed about the importance of maintaining correct tyre pressure, use of valve caps, tyre rotation and wheel alignment & balancing.

Apollo Tyres has undertaken this initiative to create awareness for both driver safety and better maintenance. Keeping this in mind, the company plans to conduct Safe Drive campaigns regularly in different parts of the Middle East region, to encourage and ensure healthy driving habits amongst all.

 

The two biggest hazards and points of tyre care are under-inflation and over-inflation. Under-inflated or deflated tyres have poor vehicle handling and fail to stop quickly while braking, resulting in accidents due to lack of control. Low tyre pressure also consumes more fuel -- a 20% under-inflation results in a 3% higher fuel consumption. Over-inflated tyres tend to burst at high speeds and skid when the brakes are applied. Also over inflated tyres wear out much faster and are prone to failures like cuts and punctures. In brief, given that the tyre is the sole contact with the road, improper tyre maintenance results in higher cost and accidents.

 

Apollo Tyres' Safe Drive campaign has been recognised and awarded by the International Institute of Road Traffic Education and is regularly undertaken in India, Middle East, Iran, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

 

 

RBI ALLOWS APOLLO TYRES TO RAISE FII INVESTMENT LIMIT TO 40%

 

FRI, FEB 15 2013

 

Mumbai: The Reserve Bank on Thursday allowed Apollo Tyres to increase FII investment limit under the portfolio investment scheme (PIS) to 40%.

 

“RBI today (on Thursday) notified that Apollo Tyres has passed resolutions at the board of directors’ level and a special resolution by the shareholders, to enhance the limit for purchase of its equity shares and convertible debentures by foreign institutional investors through primary market and stock exchanges, under the portfolio investment scheme up to 40% of paid up capital,” the bank said in a release.

 

As per the current norms, RBI needs to be intimated in case FII investment limit in a company breaches a certain cap. FIIs, NRIs and PIOs (persons of Indian origin) are allowed to invest in the primary and secondary capital markets in India under the PIS.

 

Under this scheme, FIIs/NRIs can acquire shares or debentures of Indian companies through the stock exchanges. The ceiling for overall investment for FIIs is 24% of the paid up capital of the Indian company and 10% for NRIs/PIOs.

 

The ceiling of 24% for FII investment can be raised up to sectoral cap/statutory ceiling, subject to the approval of the board and the general body of the company passing a special resolution to that effect.

 

 

APOLLO TYRES TO RAISE USD 150 MN VIA QIP: MD

 

FEBRUARY 06, 2013

 

As part of its strategy to rejig its global ops the country’s largest tyre maker Apollo Tyres  said today that it would be setting up a new marketing office in London. The proposed office will be the coordinating arm of its international business that spans across 50 countries today. The company also said that it would be raising USD 150 million through a QIP for which the company has got a one-year window.

 

Apollo Tyres Q3 net jumps 85% to Rs 181cr, beats forecast

 

Neeraj Kanwar, Vice Chairman and MD, Apollo Tyres said, "London is an office where we are looking at overall global businesses. We are still at the planning stage. I can’t say today that there will be some executives moving to London, but we will be hiring locally."

 

"There will be people moving from Netherlands and from India. We are making our overall plans. So I would like to say that once we are ready with those plans.

 

We have got permission on the qualified institutional placement (QIP) for a year from the board and right now the markets are very volatile and therefore we have held back. So we have yet to decide when we will come back to the market," he adds.

 

 

APOLLO TYRES TO REJIG GLOBAL OPS; SET UP OFFICE IN LONDON

FEB 05, 2013

 

Less than a month after the country’s largest tyre maker Apollo Tyres  decided to consolidate its research and development (R&D) division, the company is now mulling rejigging its global operations as well, reports CNBC-TV18's Ronojoy Banerjee quoting sources.

 

Essentially what Apollo Tyres is looking at doing is to set up a new designated office in Europe. In all probabilities it is going to come up in London, which is going to be the overseeing arm for its global operations. This move has to be seen in the context of the company’s efforts over the last few years to position itself as truly a global tyre manufacturer. The company is on record to say that it wants to break into the club of the top 10 tyre makers.

 

In 2006, the company acquired Dunlop South Africa, followed by it in 2009 with the acquisition of the Dutch tyre maker Vredestein. The company is aiming at hitting that USD 6 billion turnover mark within the next three years or so. So, the company hopes that the London office will help them oversee their operations. Sources add that a chunk of the senior management may also be asked to move and be based out of the London office.

 

It is learnt that this is going to help the company to explore new path-breaking technology in R and D. This was a part of rejigging of their R and D operations. Now the company has clearly two R and D centers one in Chennai that will look into R and D for commercial vehicle (CV) tyre and another facility in Netherlands which will look into passenger vehicle tyres. Earlier their R and D resources were spread across three geographical areas Africa, India and Europe.

 

So, this is really a path to consolidate all of that and to have one coordinating arm office in London. Apollo Tyres spokespersons have confirmed the development and said that the company has physically chosen to locate certain functions where it will have the maximum impact.

 

 

PROFILE:

 

Subject is a high-performance company and the Indian tyre manufacturer. Head quartered in Gurgaon, a corporate-hub in the National Capital Region of India, Apollo is a young, ambitious and dynamic organisation, which takes pride in its unique identity. Registered as a company in 1976, Apollo is built around the core principles of creating stakeholder value through reliability in its products and dependability in its relationships.

Apollo’s present strength and market dynamism steps from its early years of strife in establishing itself as a tyre manufacturer within the closed Indian economy. Over two decades, Apollo worked on a portfolio of products, tuned to customer needs and an array of innovative marketing initiatives to establish itself as a leader in its home market. Some of these include segmenting customers by their load and mileage requirements, running tyre loyalty programmes, establishing customer contact programmes which resulted in better health and driving habits, introducing India’s first farm radials and India’s first range of high-speed tubeless passenger car tyres.


For the first time, in 2006 Apollo ventured outside India in its quest to test itself outside its home comforts. Apollo acquired Dunlop Tyres International Pty Limited in South Africa (since renamed as Apollo Tyres South Africa Pty Limited) and Zimbabwe, taking on southern Africa as the second domestic market. The company holds brand rights for the Dunlop brand across 30 African countries.


In 2009, Apollo acquired Vredestein Banden B V in the Netherlands, and thereby adding Europe as its third crucial market.


The company currently produces the entire range of automotive tyres for ultra and high speed passenger cars, truck and bus, farm, Off-The-Road, industrial and specialty applications like mining, retreaded tyres and retreading material. These are produced across Apollo’s eight manufacturing locations in India, Netherlands and Southern Africa. A ninth facility is currently under construction in southern India, and is expected to commence production towards the end of 2009. The major brands produced across these locations are: Apollo, Dunlop, Kaizen, Maloya, Regal and Vredestein.


In the three domestic markets of India, Southern Africa and Europe, Apollo operates through a network of branded, exclusive or multi-product outlets. In South Africa the branded outlets are called Dunlop Zones, while in India they are variously named Apollo Tyre World (for commercial vehicles) and Apollo Radial World (for passenger cars). Exports out of these three key manufacturing locations reach over 70 destinations across the world, with key comprising Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia.


For Subject, offering the right product to the right customer is essential. Special efforts are made to understand customer needs and segment the market accordingly. After which, products are developed for niche applications within a larger category to enable the company to provide efficient, fuel and cost-saving products to each customer segment. Innovation has always been an integral part of the Apollo way of doing business, this applies as much to product development and marketing as to how the company as a whole is focused on challenging existing boundaries.


An integral part of the Subject world is its community involvement and giving programmes directly related to its business. In India, the focus has always been on finding ways to ensure a direct benefits to customer groups. For the commercial vehicle community the company runs extensive HIV-AIDS awareness and prevention programmes and has established Health Care Clinics across the country to cater to the community’s health needs. For passenger car customers the focus is on cultivating Safe Driving habits. Across its manufacturing locations, the key initiatives revolve around health and education programmes.


Apollo is one of the largest corporate investors in developing sporting talent through its Mission 2018, which is focused on nurturing and training youngsters in the sport of tennis to enable an Indian to win a Singles Grand Slam Championship by the year 2018.
