Company Performance:

 

The year witnessed a lot of challenges with growing competition and changes in customers preference. Despite the challenges posed, the Company achieved a sale volume of 101,990 vehicles – highest recorded in any year so far. This was aided by the launch of ‘Dost’, the first variant in the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) category, during the year. Overall, the performance in Exports, Power, Solutions Business and Spares have also been encouraging.

 

 

Long Term Borrowings:

 

Secured Non-Convertible Debentures

 

During the year, The Company issued Secured Nonconvertible Debentures Series AL 16 to the tune of Rs.1500.000 millions repayable at the end of 3rd, 4th and 5th year from the date of issue and fully redeemed Secured Non- Convertible Debentures Series AL 12 of Rs. 1500.000 millions.

 

External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs)

 

The Company contracted ECBs to the tune of Japanese Yen equivalent to USD 150 Mn during 2011-12 from banks for an average tenor of 5 years (door to door of 6 years) on unsecured basis and drew Japanese Yen equivalent to USD 90 Mn during 2011-12. The balance of USD 60 Mn would be drawn in the ensuing financial year. The funds drawn under ECBs were utilized to fund the capital expenditure programmes of theCompany as per extant RBI guidelines and as per the terms of the loan. The Company repaid ECB loan instalments that fell due to the tune of USD 36.66 Mn during 2011-12.

 

 

Strategic Alliances

Market Trends

 

Indian Economy

 

During 2011-12, the Indian economy slowed down substantially compared to the previous year. Overall GDP growth rate dropped from a high of 8.1% in 2010-11 to 6.9% in the first 3 quarters of the year. Advance GDP estimates peg the number to be in the range of 6.8% to 7% for FY 2011-12. High inflation, rising interest rates, spiralling oil prices and dampened business sentiments contributed to the slowdown. Wholesale price index eventually declined to 6.9% levels in March and April 2012, which, among other factors, triggered one of the first rate cuts by RBI in many months. While a few more rate cuts are expected at suitable junctures in the current fiscal, RBI still pegs overall GDP growth at 7.3% for FY 2012-13 and range-bound inflation levels at around 6.5% till March 2013. In the previous fiscal, consumption was partly supported by a booming rural economy, thanks to schemes such as NREGS which saw a rise in the sale of 2-wheelers and other similar products. Further, a reasonably good performance in agriculture (growth at about 3%) bolstered the GDP to some extent.

 

However, this was dampened by poor industrial growth, with Year-to-date IIP growth rate of only 3.5%, compared

to 8.1% in the same period previous fiscal. Specifically, the manufacturing growth rate slowed from 8.7% to 3.7%. Mining experienced contraction due to interventions by executive and judiciary bodies which had an impact on growth. The mining sector, consequently shrank by 2.9% in Q2 FY12 and 3.1% in Q3 FY12 (Year-on-Year) as opposed to a growth of 7.3% and 6.1% in the corresponding quarters of FY 2010-11. Slowdown was apparent in

construction as well (1.2% in Q1 FY12, compared to 8.4% in the same quarter last year). However, this sector has shown some promise in Q3, with growth rising to 7.2%. This was largely driven by government thrust in infrastructure (particularly roads).

 

IIP growth rate has improved in January and February 2012. Manufacturing inched back to +4% levels, and mining also showed the first positive signs of growth in about 8 months, though on a low base.

 

The prevalent governance slowdown remains an area of concern. Fiscal Deficit has continued to expand and is estimated to cross 5.9% of GDP by analysts, contrary to budget estimates of 4.6%. Continually high oil prices, the possibility of having to import coal at higher-thanestimated rates to meet the rising power gap and the continuing subsidy burdens do not augur well for the public accounts next year as well.

 

Commercial Vehicle industry

 

As was predicted last year, the Commercial Vehicle (CV) industry grew well, albeit at a slower pace compared to the previous year, having recovered to higher base volumes. The industry also saw a substantial amount of competitive activity.

 

The industry recorded 18% growth during 2011-12 to post its highest ever volumes of 8,09,532 units. Medium and

Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M and HCV) grew by 8%, posting volumes of 3,48,701, again recording highest ever sales. Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) posted a growth of 27.4% and reached volumes of 4,60,831 units. The contribution of M&HCV declined to about 43% of the overall CV segment, compared to 47% in the previous year.

 

The LCV segment continued to grow steadily. It has, in fact, been one of the strongest growing segments in the entire automobile space. In fact, the Small Commercial Vehicle segment [trucks less than 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)] within LCVs, which accounts for over 3/4th of the LCV market, is driving growth on the back of strong demand for transportation of consumer goods within cities and replacement demand from upper-end three wheelers.

 

Reflecting the uncertain economic scenario, multi-axle  rigid trucks with capacities greater than 25 tonnes have reported a sales drop of 2% over the previous year. These are used to transport a wide range of goods, such as

agricultural produce, cement, other materials used in construction and industrial goods. This drop was due to overall slowdown in industrial, mining and construction activity, and the resultant caution among transporters. It was also in part due to the shift to rigid vehicles with higher capacity (8X2), to achieve greater operating efficiencies. Conversely, sales of intermediate commercial trucks, in the 10-12 tonne capacity range, registered a growth rate of 21% during 2011-12. Sale of Tippers also grew by 37%, due to substantial fleet replacements as well as the boost given to infrastructure in the second half of the fiscal by the Government.

 

Also notable was the slowdown in the Southern Indian market. This was due to elections in Tamil Nadu, blanket mining ban in Karnataka and continued political uncertainty in Andhra Pradesh. Total Industry Volumes in multi axle vehicles reduced by almost 17% in the first 3 quarters before recovering somewhat in the fourth quarter. Overall, volumes grew by 5%, lower than the national average of 8%.

 

2011-12 was a watershed year for Indian exports, with the highest ever number of vehicles being exported worldwide from India (92,663 nos.). Exports of LCVs registered a substantial growth of 41%, while M&HCVs registered 2.4% growth over the previous year.

 

 

Ashok Leyland - 2011-12 in brief

 

Medium and heavy commercial vehicles

 

Ashok Leyland delivered mixed results in 2011-12. The Company registered its highest ever sales of 94,397 vehicles, with a marginal growth of 0.3% compared to the previous year.

 

In the domestic market, the Company sold 81,147 M&HCVs, 2% less than the previous year. These included 20,635 M&HCV buses and 60,512 M&HCV trucks, 1% more and 3.5% less respectively, compared to the previous year. The Company lost 2.4% market share in the Indian Medium and Heavy CV market during FY 2011-12.

 

Sales of Multi- Axle Vehicles, the largest segment in trucks, contracted by 13% in Southern India. On the other hand, the Intermediate Commercial Vehicles (ICV) goods segment grew nationwide by nearly 21% and Ashok Leyland did gain market share in ICV goods, a fast-growing segment in which the Company has a nascent presence. To sum up, contraction of Ashok Leyland's strongholds, and rapid growth of segments where the Company has limited presence resulted in a mixed outcome in the domestic market.

 

The Company demonstrated substantial growth in exports, clocking 12,852 vehicles in 2011-12, 25% growth compared to the previous year. Besides the performance in the SAARC markets, the Company benefited through strategic expansion into several new geographies. Sales in the Middle East grew substantially, despite the overall uncertainty in the region, bolstered by the Company's capability to locally manufacture buses at Ras-al-Khaimah. Besides this, the Company entered several nations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Africa, offering a wide range of bus and truck products. The Company's performance in the Russian and CIS markets has been very heartening. The Russian market was penetrated with the sales of AVIA trucks and bus chassis and the launch of Midi buses in collaboration with a local bus body builder of repute. A similar strategy was adopted in the Ukraine, by entering that market in partnership with local bus body builders. The Company seeks to make significant inroads into both these markets going forward.

 

The Power Solutions Business earned revenues of Rs. 3490.000 Millions in the year 2011-12, which is comparable to the earnings of the previous year.

 

A healthy 20% growth was achieved in the Spare Parts Business in 2011-12, with an all-time high turnover of Rs. 8520.000 millions, reflecting an increasing use of genuine parts in the service considered necessary as the technical complexity of the product increases. The Defence business continued to hold steady, with sales of 370 vehicles and 2,981 kits. Overall, the turnover from the Spare Parts Business, kits, traded products and components, etc. stood at Rs. 17170.000 millions.

 

In FY 2011-12, the Company produced 95,559 vehicles, 0.2% growth compared to the previous year. The Company's recently commissioned plant in Pantnagar, a state-of-the-art production facility in the northern state of Uttarakhand, continued to ramp up manufacturing capacity and reached production rate of over 4,000 units per month in March 2012.

 

The Company also expanded its dealer network substantially in areas where hitherto it had only limited coverage. Full service outlets grew to over 400 and for the first time, the number of outlets in the North exceeded the number in the South.

 

To address the challenges faced in the domestic market, the Company applied substantial product development

and marketing effort, targeted at the fastest growing segments and regions. This resulted in promising growth in the 4th quarter of the previous fiscal. The Company has also lined up several ground-breaking products for core segments in the upcoming fiscal. Three such new products were displayed at the Auto Expo 2012 held in Jan'12 in Delhi: the Jan Bus, 10x4 Multi-axle truck and the 8m ICV bus named 'Solo', all of which will be launched shortly. While the Jan Bus is the world's first single step, front engine, fully flat floor bus, the 10x2 will be a pioneering product for the Indian CV industry. The 10x2 MAV represents a significant product introduction into the largest truck segment, indicating further movement towards higher tonnage vehicles. The launch of Solo is further evidence of the Company's capability to bring world-class passenger transport products to the growing Indian market.

 

The Company's continued investments in Research and Development through 2011-12 will also result in several launches in the next fiscal. The New Generation Cab and the Neptune Engine programmes will see market introductions. ICV, the fastest growing segment in the M&HCV range, will see the Company come up with a brand new product with inputs from AVIA Ashok Leyland Motors s.r.o in the Czech Republic.

 

The Company has continued to invest in efficient IT systems to support its strategies and one important step in this regard has been through the SAP system to achieve full integration across the Company.

 

In a scenario of blurring lines of product differentiations, it is the strength of the brand that will prove vital and well mindful of this, the Company took several important steps to build brand Ashok Leyland. Firstly, the Company's brand promise was re-articulated as 'It's all about You', the 'You' standing for the customer who was at the centre of all activities and every effort was made to improve his profitability. To lead and give traction to the many marketing initiatives, some launched and others soon to be, all aimed at enhancing customer experience and thereby market share, the Company signed on the iconic Indian cricket captain, M. S. Dhoni as its Brand Ambassador. Apart from befitting the values of the Company very well, he will be at the forefront of the efforts of the Company to be a stronger global brand.

 

Apart from Brand, the other identified focus areas for development were Quality, People, Innovation and Efficiency. The Company has taken on challenging targets on each of these areas and has kicked off a host of ambitious banner projects.

 

In summary, the Company has prepared well for the challenging economic scenario expected in future, as well as the upcoming competition in the M&HCV space.

 

Light Commercial Vehicles

 

Taking advantage of the proliferation of the hub-andspoke model and the strong demand originating from the rural segment, the Company entered the LCV segment with the launch of 'Dost' last year.

 

The product has been well accepted by customers, with 7,593 vehicles having been sold in the last fiscal. Within 6 months of launch, 'Dost' is already the second highest selling model in the 2-3.5T GVW segment and has achieved a pan India market share of 16.6%. This is despite 'Dost' having been launched in only six States (Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat). 'Dost' is being sold through an all-new dedicated distribution network. The product continues to enjoy tremendous pull, particularly for its high end variants that offer more features, such as power steering, air conditioning, etc.

 

The Company is aggressively ramping up production at its Hosur facility to meet the rising demand for 'Dost'. The

dealer network will also be expanded, and the product launched in additional states this fiscal. Further variants of 'Dost' are in the pipeline. In addition, the Company also displayed 2 new platforms in the Auto Expo 2012 – the 'Partner' 6T truck and the 'Stile' Multi- Functional Vehicle – both of which will be launched over the next 2 years.

 

Hinduja Leyland Finance Limited

 

The Non-banking Finance Company (NBFC), Hinduja Leyland Finance Limited (HLFL) promoted by Ashok Leyland, commenced their operations in March 2010. HLFL now has operations in 440 locations with employee strength of 1199 (increased from 588 in the year 2010). In 2011-12, HLFL continued to grow rapidly. The company made a disbursement of Rs. 2,107 Cr., a rise of over 70% from the previous year, across a wide range of segments, including Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles, Light Commercial Vehicles and 3-wheelers.

 

Ashok Leyland John Deere Construction Equipment Company Private Limited

 

The 50:50 Joint Venture with John Deere Construction & Forestry Company, USA, successfully launched its first product, the 435 Backhoe Loader in November 2011. The JV Company sold 221 units in 4 months in the current fiscal. The JV Company's product has been well accepted by customers due to its superior positioning compared to its competitors. The development of the distribution system is in high gear, starting with the Southern market. 18 dealership nodes have already been rolled out and another 27 planned in the coming year. New service benchmarks are being set with 100% achievement of completing running repairs on the same day and 100% parts availability within 24 hours. The JV Company is planning to launch the Wheel Loader in the year 2012-13.

 

Automotive Infotronics Limited

 

This 50:50 Joint Venture with Continental AG aims to become an innovation centre for delivering automotive infotronics solutions at value price points.

ASHOK LEYLAND ‘DOST’ COMPLETES ONE FULL YEAR OF OPERATIONS • OVER 34,900 SOLD IN JUST 12 STATES • BAGS EXPORT ORDERS FROM SAARC MARKETS

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013

 

‘Dost’, the 2.5T Light Commercial Vehicle from Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship, completed one full year of successful operations clocking a sales volume of 34,917 numbers garnered from the 12 States it is presently sold in. Riding on this success, the Company has bagged healthy export orders for ‘Dost’ from the SAARC markets.

 

“We set out to create a vehicle to meet the requirements of an evolving LCV customer in India and we are deeply appreciative of the overwhelming customer response to ‘Dost’,” said Dr. V. Sumantran, Vice Chairman, Ashok Leyland.  “’Dost’ has truly re-defined the benchmark among small LCVs with its class-leading performance, superior reliability and low cost of ownership. We still have a long road in front of us but this surely is a journey that has started off well for us,” he added.

 

A true measure of its success is the fact that Ashok Leyland ‘Dost’ has already emerged as the market leader with a market share of 19% (all India) in its 2-3.5T category. With the help of an entirely new dealership network equipped with modern infrastructure that is already 100 strong, the Company plans to progressively offer ‘Dost’ pan India as well as feed the overseas markets. At the same time, plans are afoot to enhance its LCV portfolio with the introduction of variants both in the goods and passenger segments.

 

‘Dost’, which has a payload capacity of 1.25T, is available in three versions with the top-end version featuring air-conditioning, power steering and a palette of four colours to choose from: White, Beige, Blue and Aqua Green. Ashok Leyland also offers Ready-to-Use Vehicles (RUVs) on the ‘Dost’ platform for various applications such as Refrigerated containers, Steel containers, Ambulance, Aluminium Fixed Side Decks and Service-At-Site vehicles.

 

 

ASHOK LEYLAND ROLLS OUT THE FIRST SCR BSIV - OBD-II COMPLIANT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE IN THE COUNTRY

MONDAY, APRIL 1, 2013

 

The Hinduja Group flagship, Ashok Leyland, rolled out the country’s first On Board Diagnostic (OBD II) compliant vehicle powered by a BSIV engine and equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. Ashok Leyland was the first OEM to receive the OBD-II certification for BS IV-compliant commercial vehicle engines in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and CNG technologies. This is as per the legislation that comes into effect from April 1st, 2013 on all BSIV commercial vehicles above 3.5 tonnes GVW.

 

Speaking about the development, Mr. Vinod K. Dasari, Managing Director, Ashok Leyland said, “This is a remarkable achievement of having completed the entire process of certification to final product roll out in record time and credit is due not only to our team but to our suppliers as well who partnered us. With the introduction of stricter emission norms, there is a greater need for sophisticated emission control systems and technologies and OBD II will go a long way in improving the overall life and productivity of the vehicle and, at the end of the day, enhance our customers’ profitability.”

 

OBD detects failures that adversely affect emissions and illuminates a dashboard light known as the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to warn the driver of faults. It aids diagnosis and repair of complex electronic engine controls, helps keep emissions low by early identification of controls that need repair, is a life-long solution for the vehicle while from an industry perspective, it encourages the design of durable emission control systems.
