Comments :

Subject is a 89:11 venture between the world’s largest car maker Toyota and Kirloskar Group which is ultimately a subsidiary of “Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan”.

 

Management has failed to file Form 23AC and 23ACA which illustrates the financial statements, whereas submitted Form 20B for filing its annual returns for FY14 with the statutory authorities. 

 

It is an established company having fine track record. As per the available, the company possesses an average financial profile marked by acceptable networth base along with moderate albeit increased gearing and unfavourable gap between trade receivables and payables.

 

Management has reported consecutive losses from past two years during FY13, may be as a result of slowdown in the overall sector. 

 

However, the ratings also take into consideration the faster economic growth coupled with the government policies is likely to drive volumes and revive the Indian Automobile Sector.

 

Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are reported as regular and as per commitment.

 

In view of managerial technical and financial support from its reputed promoters and the established brand, the subject can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further in the coming years.  China may surpass the US over the next few years.

 

Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand, seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales, luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.

 

A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization policies.  A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

TOYOTA KIRLOSKAR TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT IN STANDOFF WITH STAFF

 

Apr 21, 2014

 

BANGALORE: Toyota Kirloskar has decided to comply with Karnataka state government directive to restore normalcy at its manufacturing facility near Bangalore and has decided to remove its condition of asking workers to sign "good conduct" agreement before joining work.

 

Toyota Kirloskar, an 89:11 joint venture between world's largest car manufacturer and India's Kirloskaron Sunday night issued a statement saying the management is willing to remove the clause provided the workers start work from Monday.

 

But the workers remained reluctant with R Satish, general secretary of Toyota Kirloskar Workers Uniontelling ET that that Union would decide upon the future course of action only after a meeting on Monday. We'll not start work from tomorrow, a worker told ET. "They will decide on their stand after the office bearers of the Union meet tomorrow," a worker affiliated to the Union said.

 

The state government directed the workers to report back to work from Monday. It also had asked the company's management not to insist that workers sign a "good conduct" agreement.

 

"The government of Karnataka, in order to maintain industrial peace and harmony, has issued an order asking the company and the union to restore normalcy in operations, immediately," Toyota said in a statement. "All relevant issues between the workers and the management have been referred for adjudication," the statement added.

 

A senior state government labour official said that Saturday's notice was a "prohibitory order" which makes it binding on the 4,500 Toyota Kirloskar Workers Union members to report to work.

 

"The dispute pertaining to the wages has been forwarded to the industrial disputes tribunal. So, it is sub judice. Now, the company has to remove the clause asking workers to sign the good conduct code as continuation of any such demand by the company is a violation of state law," said the official.

 

It's not clear for now whether the management will revoke the suspension of 30 workers but the company has been maintaining that this has been done pending an enquiry and it would let the threemember panel decide.

 

Santanu Sarkar, professor at Jamshedpur-based Xavier Institute of Labour Relations, said he does not see the situation turning volatile. "The government issuing this order sends across a strong message to both the workers and management not to take any abrupt steps," said Sarkar.

 

 

TOYOTA KIRLOSKAR MOTOR IMPASSE: WORKERS TO RESUME DUTY TODAY

 

Apr 22, 2014

 

BANGALORE: Starting Tuesday, Toyota Kirloskar will do at its manufacturing plant near Bangalore what it does best - make cars. After more than two months of intermittent production - which included a go-slow drive by workers and a 5-day shutdown - the 4,500-strong union decided on Monday to resume work, a day after the Karnataka Government urged both the management and the workers to help restore normalcy at the manufacturing plant at Bidadi, 30 kilometers from Bangalore.

 

"I am glad," said Shekar Viswanathan, vice-chairman and whole-time director, Toyota Kirloskar, an 89:11venture between the world's largest car maker, Toyota and Kirloskar Group. "I'm happy and relieved but also saddened that so much happened for nothing," Shekar told ET.

 

However, the workers will continue to contest with the management on annual wage increase and over the suspension of 30 workers, said a senior official of the union. "Both the issues of wages and the suspension of 30 workers are sub judice as it before industrial tribunal," said R Satish, general secretary of Toyota Kirloskar Motor Employees Union.

 

 

WHY WORLD'S TOP THREE CARMAKERS TOYOTA, GENERAL MOTORS, VOLKSWAGEN ARE LAGGARDS IN INDIA

 

Jun 3, 2014

 

The financial year 2013-14 has been one to forget for carmakers in India. As the Indian consumer held back, sales of passenger cars fell 4.65%. Every manufacturer endured the pain. But for three carmakers—Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen—the agony and frustration of 2013-14 was yet another humbling reminder of how, even after all these years, their numerical achievements in India remain a stark contrast to their achievements at a global level.

 

In worldwide passenger car sales, Toyota, GM and Volkswagen stand on the podium, in that order. But in India, the world's sixth largest market, they are ranked six, eight and 10, respectively, and struggling with the bottom line. Volkswagen is a relative newbie, having entered India only seven years earlier. But Toyota drove into India 17 years and GM completes 20 years in 2014.

 

According to Wilfried Aulbur, managing partner of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, India is a market with unique attributes, which require car companies to tailor their operations differently. For example, the tax structure favours cars of a length of up to four metres, or the smallcar segment.

 

A big part of this is the sub-Rs 4 lakh car, which accounts for 70% of the Indian market. "It (the regulation) forces global players to adapt their products to the Indian market," says Aulbur. "This implies significant investments, which, at present, not every large manufacturer is willing to make. In turn, volume opportunities get constrained."

 

For these companies, this 70% segment has either not been top priority (Toyota and Volkswagen) or they have been unable to crack it (GM).

 

Stumbling Strategies

 

Every company that has done well in India has done so on the back of a blockbuster model, one that balanced the diverse needs of an Indian buyer, and towered over everything else in its space for a considerable length of time. For Maruti, this was 800, Alto and DZire. For Hyundai, Santro. For Honda, City. For Mahindra, Scorpio.

 

In recent times, Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport and Honda Amaze have cracked the puzzle of combining functionality, design, features, pricing and after-sales. Toyota has had success with Qualis and Innova, but Volkswagen and GM have struggled to find models that bring in the volumes and endure in the Indian context.

 

The two models Toyota launched as India-specific models in 2011 have only met with moderate success. "Etios and Liva have been learnings for us in terms of customer expectations and buying patterns," says N Raja, senior VP, marketing and sales, Toyota Kirloskar, who recently replaced Sandeep Singh, deputy MD. "We have addressed that by sprucing interiors, performance and rural reach."

 

In its life of 19 years, the Indian subsidiary of General Motors has accumulated losses of Rs 27400.000 Millions, while garnering a minuscule 2% market share and a reputational taint for falsifying emission data. "If GM is struggling in India, it's because it has been bringing in products designed for overseas markets," says VG Ramakrishanan, managing director, Frost and Sullivan.

 

German car maker Volkswagen had a strong phase of growth from 2010 to 2012, with Polo and Vento. But growth has since flagged in the absence of an India-specific small car and the absence of an effective supplier base. Frequent senior management changes at Volkswagen have not helped matters, something that is true also of GM.

 

It ends up hurting more because of the intrinsic nature of the Indian market, which demands a strong local orientation. "Companies that understand the Indian market and can convince their headquarters of the need for an India-specific strategy tend to come out ahead," says Aulbur. Rakesh Batra, partner and national automotive leader, Ernst and Young, iterates the need to think local. "One needs to have an India-specific strategy rather than an India-presence strategy," he says. "Carmakers need to have a cost structure in place, clear product strategy, and focus on urban and rural markets to be profitable." It's a self-reinforcing circle. "If the cost structure is in place, companies can position and launch value-for-money products," says Aulbur. "A decent product portfolio leads to larger volumes, which would need companies to invest in distribution."

 

Recovery Plans

 

India remains central to the plans of global carmakers, but also confounds them and makes them think relatively. According to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, India was ranked number six in car production in 2013, after China, Japan, Germany, US and South Korea.

 

In 2003, India was ranked number 13 and China was ranked number six, producing twice as many cars as India. But China has since then separated from the pack. While India produced 3.1 million cars in 2013, China produced six times as many: 18 million. "To achieve the number one position globally, India really doesn't matter as the volumes are significantly lower," says Ramakrishnan of Frost and Sullivan.
