REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

The Indian economy experienced a second successive year of relatively poor performance in FY 13-14, with the GDP registering a growth below 5% in both years. Persistent high inflation, low business confidence and lower fixed capital formation contributed to the weak domestic growth. Performance of the Manufacturing Sector, which contributes significantly to the economy, stagnated in the last 24 months. Consequently, the performance of the Indian Automotive Industry was severely affected and witnessed a period of negative growth.

 

The Production of Passenger Cars and Utility vehicles decreased by 4.9% during FY 13-14, despite some increase in export volumes of Utility passenger vehicles. Performance of Medium and Heavy commercial Vehicle segment continued to be heavily impacted with vehicle output declining by 21% in FY 13-14 on top of a decrease of 27.6% in FY12-13. Contraction in the mining and manufacturing sectors, slowdown in infrastructure spend, as well as high interest rates were pivotal factors that contributed to the continuing woes of this sector. The Light Commercial Vehicle space also saw a decline in output by 13.5% with reduction in both Passenger and Goods Carrier production. A reasonably good monsoon and growth in the agriculture output drove Tractor production levels up by 20.4% which proved to be the sole bright spot amidst the declining trends across the industry.

 

The overall reduction in the Domestic Automotive Industry volumes resulted in reduced sales to OEMs from the Brake Division; however the Company’s focus in remaining pro-active to the customers needs as well as participating in various new product launches helped it to protect and grow market share in most of the segments, thereby restricting OEM sales decline in value terms to only 5.1% in FY 13-14. Greater focus and pro-active steps taken by the Company in the Replacement market, both OE spares and Independent after market helped to increase the sales by 11.9%. Brake Division export sale grew in value terms by 7.3%. Overall Brake Division sales during FY 13-14 remained at the same levels as that of FY 12-13.

Foundry Division sale to external customers increased by 8.9%, aided by export sale growth of 15.3%. The sale of Engineering Plastic products from the Polymer Division also registered a growth of 14.2%. The overall exports of the Company at Rs 6849.900 Millions, showed an increase of 11.4% over the previous year, partially aided by favourable exchange rates.

 

Viewed against a backdrop of a high level of recession in the Automotive industry and difficult market conditions that prevailed during FY 13-14, The Company’s overall sales growth of 1.7% was a satisfactory achievement.

 

During the financial year, some of the input material costs registered increases, especially during the latter part of the year. Persistent high domestic inflation levels resulted in substantial increase in conversion costs. Given the tough market conditions and the pressures from OEM customers to reduce prices, that are characteristic to the Industry, the Company could recover only a portion of such increases from its customers. Power situation in Tamil Nadu continued to be grim and the Company had taken several measures to mitigate this factor including establishment of dedicated feeders, restructuring work timings and sourcing of power from independent power producers. The weak market demand had also adversely affected some of the Company’s vendors, especially those catering to the Commercial Vehicle segment, resulting in the need for additional support being extended to them. In spite of all the adverse conditions, the Company’s continued vigour and focus on remaining customer centric, rigorous internal exercises to cut down costs and eliminate waste, drive on implementing VA/VE projects across the value chain and its overall strategy to maintain exposure to all the segments within the Automotive industry helped it to improve its Profitability levels. The Company’s sustained efforts to reduce working capital, target higher equipment productivity, taper down capital spend as per market requirement and to manage funds more effectively through treasury operations have helped it to reduce the borrowings significantly and bring down interest cost.

 

Resolution for the specific customer recall programme that arose during the end of the last financial year had been arrived at in joint discussion with the Customer. Adequate provision has been made in the books to meet the estimated liability.

 

The Company’s new manufacturing site at Jhagadia, Gujarat, commenced operations in November 2013 and would cater to the requirements of customers located in the Western and Northern parts of India.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

FY 14-15 is viewed with a sense of cautious optimism. There is heightened expectation that the new government at the Centre will take steps to improve the business and market sentiment, provide a special impetus to the manufacturing sector, substantially increase infrastructure spend especially in power, roads, ports, urban development and usher in policies to spur economic growth. Though there are no immediate signs of market recovery visible in the Automotive sector, it is generally expected that some positives would emerge in the latter part of the year. So far, the monsoon has played truant causing some concern for the speedy revival of the domestic economy. However, the long term fundamentals of the Indian Economy remain strong as do the prospects for the Automotive Industry. The Company has also geared itself to meet the new market requirements that may arise on account of any future legislative changes leading to introduction of new technology products for both the Passenger Car and Commercial Vehice segments.
