PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

During the year, the company has shown stellar performance with the sales for the year increasing by a whopping 53% over the previous year to touch Rs. 2380.000 millions as against Rs. 1550.000 millions in F.Y. 2009-10. The robust growth in sales has come from smart recovery in export sales resulting from orders from new customers as well as increased orders from existing customers. On domestic front also, we clocked a sales growth of 21% over the previous year.

 

The growth in sales has been reflected in an impressive growth in operating profit which is increased from Rs. 415.300 millions to Rs. 562.400 millions registering a growth of 35% over the previous year. The Profit after Tax for the year was Rs. 179.100 millions as against Rs. 125.600 millions in the previous year.

 

Another milestone reached by the company during the year was successful commissioning of new state of the art Engine and Genset manufacturing plant. With the new facility going operational, we have successfully completed a forward integration project and have transformed ourselves from an engine component manufacturer to an Engine and Genset manufacturer. At present, the manufacturer of diesel engines with 2 cylinders is commenced. However, the family is expected to be expanded soon with the development of engines with 3, 4 and 6 cylinders in CNG, LPG variants getting over. Once fully developed, the plant would be able to manufacture engines upto 280 HP capacity and gensets from 10 Kva to 200 Kva capacity. The development is expected to be completed by December, 2011.

 

FUTURE BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

 

With the year being a spectacular one on many fronts for the company, the directors are hopeful of improving the synergies further in the coming financial year.

 

ENGINE COMPONENT BUSINESS:

 

In this particular business segment, the company has, over the years, carved a niche for itself as being one of the dependable suppliers for quality components. Their customer portfolio includes almost all reputed OEMs spread across industry verticals ranging from automobiles, power, marine, windmills, railways, tractors etc. both in domestic as well as export markets. Further, with their continuous thrust on quality and strong execution capabilities, they have been able to get repeat orders from their existing customers in addition to getting orders from new customers for value added products.

 

DOMESTIC BUSINESS:

 

On domestic front, the macroeconomic picture continues to be robust with the Indian economy growing at around 8% for past several years and expected to repeat the performance in the coming year. With strong domestic demand caused by rising income levels of people, the demand is expected to be robust for coming months. The company is having a very well diversified product portfolio across various industry verticals. Further, since last several years, the company has been investing in new technologies. As a result of the technological developments undertaken, the company has created a niche for itself in the market to become a dependable supplier of quality products at competitive rates. All this has the effect of putting the company on decent growth path. Moreover, the improvements in technology has also resulted in improvement in the yield of castings, import substitution of certain raw materials, process optimization, savings in cost of raw materials, tools, consumables etc. It is because of all these measures taken that the company continues to be on a robust growth path even in challenging macroeconomic situations.

 

With the strong order book and expected order flow in the coming months, the company expects to achieve a domestic sales turnover of around Rs. 1300.000 millions in F.Y. 2011-12 as against Rs. 1150.000 millions in F.Y. 2010-11. They are plans of expanding their production capacities to cater to the increased demand.

 

EXPORT BUSINESS:

 

Over the years, the company has been recognized as one of the key supplier for supply of quality castings to various reputed companies in Europe, U.S.A. etc. The company’s export sales have increased significantly in F.Y. 2010-11 to reach Rs. 1231.100 millions from Rs. 596.000 millions in F.Y. 2009-10. Exports continue to be a thrust area for the company in the coming year with several new customers approaching the company to cater to their castings requirements in addition to increased production schedules from its existing customers for existing as well as new product requirements. The company, with its strong technological base has created a niche in export market. Their customers in export market are all 5 star rated customers and with order schedules from them on the increase, the company is seeing a huge order inflow notwithstanding the economic conditions in export economies. The company expects to achieve an export turnover of around Rs. 1300.000 millions for the F.Y. 2011-12 as against Rs. 1230.000 millions for F.Y. 2010-11. They are plans of expanding their production capacities to cater to the increased demand.

 

ENGINE AND GENERATING SET BUSINESS:

 

The company’s state of the art engine and generating set manufacturing plant went on stream last year. The plant has a capacity of manufacturing 6,000 No. of engines p.a. which can be further expanded to 20,000 No.s p.a. with small additional investment. I take pride to inform you that the company will be the first in the country to manufacture CRDI generating set.

 

The company is presently focusing on selling of generating sets captively consuming the engines manufactured in the new plant. Since the demand of power in most of the states in India far exceeding its supply, it gives immense opportunities for the company to cater to this niche segment. Further, with the company’s technologically advanced generating sets giving substantial fuel and space economies, lower emission etc. The company expects to make a strong inroad into the generating set market. The company has already appointed about 15 dealers in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana etc. and expects to increase it further in the coming days.

 

For the coming financial year, the company has set a modest sales target of Rs. 300.000 millions for engine/ genset business.
