GENERAL INFORMATION:

 

Subject is engaged in manufacturing of engines and construction equipment and trading of power tillers, motor graders etc. The Company has manufacturing facilities in the states of Maharashtra and Tamilnadu. The products are mainly sold in India with some export to Middle East, Africa and South East Asia Region. The Company has one direct and two indirect subsidiaries having operations in India and Sharjah.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

 

The financial year 2013-14 witnessed a sharp macro-economic downturn. It was characterised by slowing demand, high costs of borrowings and stalling of infrastructure projects. The bleak performance of the manufacturing and industrial sectors severely impacted the industries dependant on domestic demand. The environment resulted in de-growth across all the major product categories that the Company caters to i.e. three Wheeler / four Wheeler Small Commercial Vehicles, Pump sets, Gensets and Construction Equipment.

 

The Company registered a net revenue from operations of Rs.17457.200 Millions in the financial year 2013-14 as against Rs.1,8888.400 Millions in the financial year 2012-13, recording a decline of about 7.57%. The profit after tax recorded a 18.03% decline from Rs.1379.600 Millions in the financial year 2012-13 to Rs.1130.900 Millions in the financial year 2013-14.

 

Despite the performance being adversely affected by the grim situation for the capital goods industry, particularly so for the automotive segments, the Company was able to retain its market share across all its segments.

 

The Company’s sustained efforts towards back-end cost control, new product launches and efficiency improvement measures, supported the insulation and limited the impact on the profitability margins. The net profit margin (excluding exceptional items) for the financial year 2013-14 was lower at 7.04% as against 8.3% in the financial year 2012-13.

 

Their multi-dimensional growth strategy will help us develop superior products, deepen markets and widen geographies. The Company’s ability to better utilise capacities and product range will help derive better margins out of the businesses. The outlook of each business has been discussed in detail in the ‘Management Discussion and Analysis’ which forms a part of this Annual Report.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

World economic growth improved in the latter half of FY13 with much of the growth impetus flowing from the advanced economies. In contrast, many emerging market economies faced unfavourable external financial environment, even as they dealt with their domestic challenges. The positivity in US, UK and Germany could strengthen growth prospects, however, the downside risks from low inflation and the possibility of protracted low growth, especially in the other non-core EU nations and Japan, dominate the overall world outlook. Growth in emerging market economies is expected to be modest. Overall, world economic growth is projected to be slightly higher in 2014 at around 3.6%, rising to 3.9% in 2015.

 

 

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

India continued to experience slowdown in economic growth, and year-on-year growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined to the sub 5% level. Agriculture and services sector performance provided the much-needed succour, as industrial growth languished and largely remained flat with very few new projects being announced. Low policy visibility, weak growth and high inflation, a large fiscal deficit and high interest rate, delay in infrastructure projects due to environment and land clearance challenges combined to create enormous impediments to growth. The efforts of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to stem price increases curbed spending and consumption weakened.

 

The year also saw a steep depreciation of the Rupee. The Government had to take measures to curb fiscal deficit and reduce the subsidies in food and fuel to avert the downgrading by credit rating agencies. Volatile capital inflows and the declining confidence of international investors due to the inflation, added to India’s economic woes.

 

India's growth is expected to recover in the financial year 2014-15, supported by slightly stronger external growth, improving export competitiveness and implementation of recently approved investment projects. Consumer price inflation, which climbed down from its peak during the third quarter of the financial year 2013-14, is expected to remain an important challenge, but should continue to move onto a downward trajectory. The stable Government at the Centre, post the general elections, could be a potential game changer as concrete steps are expected to be taken to restore the much-needed confidence in the people and corporates at large.

 

Company Overview

 

The challenging macro environment and near stagnation of demand adversely impacted the Company’s core businesses and the lacklustre performance of the Automotive, Genset and the Construction Equipment segments led to a decline in revenues.

 

The Company launched new products, acquired new customers and opened up new geographies, which helped the Company to compensate the weak macro environment in India. In addition, the Company also strengthened its service network across all product segments. However, these efforts did not create the desired results as the demand in the key segments it operates, remained subdued.

 

For the full year, the Company registered net sales of Rs.171.900 Millions as against Rs.187.300 Millions during the previous year. Net profit for the year was at Rs.1130.000 Millions as against Rs.1380.000 Millions, a decline of 18%. A cost optimisation project called “Propel” was initiated to launch specific initiatives like value engineering, supply chain, vendor development which enabled the Company to report reduction in the material cost. The employee costs during the financial year 2013-14 increased over last year predominantly because of inflation and the investment made in enhancing the R and D skills and new geography expansions.

 

The Company continued to expand its global footprint and set up an office in Tanzania and took focussed strategic and marketing initiatives to further build the market in UAE, East Africa and South East Asia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ENGINE SEGMENT

 

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINES BUSINESS

 

Industry Overview

 

The Indian Automotive industry went through another year of dismal growth. Passenger car volumes declined by almost 5% during the year. The growth of diesel cars, which had been extremely robust in the past few years, also saw a major decline as the price gap between diesel and petrol was reduced substantially. The Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MandHCV) segment too went through another year of shrinking sales recording a drop of over 21% over last year. Only the 2-wheeler segment recorded a 7% growth during the year.

 

The 3-wheeler segment saw domestic volumes shrink by over 10%, mostly in passenger carriers. However, a stronger than expected demand from Africa enabled the industry to chalk up substantial growth in 3-wheeler exports, mainly in petrol driven vehicles. The resultant overall decline in numbers was just over 1%. The Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) segment suffered the most, with both, domestic sales and exports, showing a drop in sales. Small Commercial Vehicles (SCV), which form a part of this segment, suffered a large drop in sales as well, after recording impressive growth over the last two years. On the whole, the LCV segment declined by over 13%.

 

The demand in the financial year 2014-15 is likely to remain sluggish for the LCVs, SCVs and 3-wheelers. The underlying growth factors such as fuel prices, interest rates and freight realisations, all remain in the negative territory. Most of the buyers of 3-wheelers and SCVs are small first time buyers, looking to start their own small business. With uncertainty looming over demand and profitability, many of the potential buyers of these vehicles are postponing their purchase, waiting for the growth factors to change for the better. This pent-up demand is likely to surface when the economy revives.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company’s Automotive Engines Business has a wide range of single cylinder diesel engines, which cater mainly to the 3-wheeler and SCV segments.

 

Volumes witnessed a sharp decline due to the economic slowdown and challenging industry environment. As both 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler engines volumes declined, the business registered a slight drop in quantities over last year.

 

On the positive side, the Company was awarded the prestigious Excellence in Delivery award for the second year running by Tata Motors. The Ace Zip and Magic Iris vehicles of Tata Motors are powered by the engines produced by the Company. The award is a recognition of the Company’s manufacturing prowess and excellence in delivery and adhering to stringent timelines.

 

The Company also entered into an agreement to supply diesel engines to TVS Motors for their diesel 3-wheeler vehicles.

 

New emission norms for vehicles are likely to be introduced in the near future. Sustained RandD efforts have led to the successful achievement of BS IV emission norms.

 

 

 

Outlook

 

The Automotive market is not expected to improve in the next few quarters. The diesel rate increase, high interest rates, poor growth in demand for last mile transportation due to slowdown in the economy, have resulted in inadequate growth in fares and freight rates for 3-wheeler and SCV operators. The Company is developing new market segments including non-automotive applications, and expanding its market into new geographies. The development of BS IV diesel single cylinder engines and of BS IV CNG engines is expected to provide a positive thrust. To broaden the product portfolio, the Company has also commenced on the development of larger diesel engines, however, these engines have a long development cycle.

 

AUXILIARY POWER BUSINESS

 

Industry Overview

 

During the year, the economic slowdown, high interest rates, challenging business environment and weak consumer sentiments impacted growth. Diesel Gensets clocked negative growth to the tune of 20% in the financial year 2013-14 due to the slowing demand and the overall sluggish economy which impacted the growth of the realty, manufacturing and service sectors. In addition, competition remained intense as competitors adopted price competition to better utilise their plant capacity.

 

Business Overview

 

With a huge power deficit in India, the Company has developed auxiliary power solutions which are fuel-efficient, rugged and versatile and cater to retail, commercial and residential complexes, hotels, hospitals, industries and manufacturing enterprises, defense and railways. The Company’s well established pan-India distributor and dealer network, complemented by the deep-rooted aftermarket support, lends itself to easy accessibility for customer engagement.

 

The Company’s endeavour in the challenging environment has been to strengthen its product offerings and roll out new products that are best suited to perform under demanding power conditions. The focus has been to develop products which are technologically advanced with functional superiority, fuel efficiency, have advanced ergonomic designs and, importantly, are the ideal choice for value-conscious consumers. In line with this strategy, the Company launched three new offerings in the sub 20 KVA. Its, 160-250 KVA and higher end 500 KVA range gensets and engines are designed to deliver uninterrupted auxiliary power under challenging conditions.

 

The Company also initiated and succeeded in optimising costs through several innovations, quality improvements and performance improvements. The Company also undertook measures to make deeper inroads into the institutional segment and ventured back into the Railways business.

 

Another important development has been the ability to meet the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) norms for the Company’s Genset range.

 

Outlook

 

The Company is poised to gain from opportunities emerging post the announcement of new CPCB Genset norms. With its existing wide range of product offerings and new product, the Company is confident that the solutions will make the Company a preferred choice amongst consumers seeking technology-led affordable solutions.

 

 

FARM EQUIPMENT BUSINESS

 

Industry Overview

 

Various pro-agriculture policies and beneficial interventions have supported the development of the agricultural sector and also boosted demand for the farm equipment business. India’s GDP growth for financial year 2013-14 was favourably supported by the sustained growth of agriculture sector due to a good monsoon. There is a marked shift in the preference for reliable local products which is backed by better local service over the low cost imports. The trend is expected to augur well for the Company as it has commenced localising many of the farm equipment through in-house R and D and also strengthening its own servicing network.

 

The draft farm mechanisation policy which reiterates the need for large scale farm mechanisation among small and marginal farmers, will play an important role in shaping the opportunity horizon.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company’s Farm Equipment Business manufactures a wide range of contemporary agricultural equipment which enables small and marginal farmers improve the productivity of their farms and reduce their dependence on manual labour.

 

Despite the good monsoon, the rural market continued to indicate signs of slowing down and specifically for the Company’s products due to the delay in release of subsidies and fuel increase, which play an important role in the purchase decision.

 

The Light Agri Equipment segment, including the oil engine pumpsets, continued to witness weak demand and volumes dropped. Though the Company’s entry into the electrical pumpset segment was well received.

 

The Company remained focussed on expanding the product range of Light Agri Equipment to reduce dependency on imports. Looking at the long-term opportunity potential in the business, the Company has set up a Technology Centre for the Farm Equipment Business at Gummidipoondi, Chennai, to facilitate the faster development of the farm equipment product portfolio.

 

Outlook

 

The level of mechanisation is expected to grow significantly among small and marginal farmers due to acute shortage of farm labour, fast changing economic situation in rural segment and increasing government support which enables subsidised purchasing.

 

Modernisation has reduced the amount of cultivable land and thus mechanisation, which improves productivity, will continue to generate demand for farm equipment. Continued support to the agricultural sector and favourable lending polices taking into account the thrust on inclusive growth, is anticipated and overall future long-term growth potential remains strong.

 

The Company remains focussed on developing practical value-added, energy efficient products to enhance farm productivity and ensuring excellence in servicing through a robust network.

 

The outlook for the financial year 2014-15 could remain an area of concern with the prediction of below normal monsoon which could dampen the demand for all agriculture aggregates including farm input and farm machinery. Majority of the Indian farm land still remains rain fed, with expected below normal monsoon could well end up with lesser sowing area thereby affecting the demand for farm inputs.

 

 

INDUSTRIAL ENGINES BUSINESS

Industry Overview

 

From concreting and road making to earth moving, mining, agriculture, marine, fire fighting and other pumps, compressors and also in railways, defence and power generation, industrial engines find application across diverse areas. Such engines are used in different stationary and mobile equipment. The depressing economic environment prevailing during the financial year 2013-14 impacted growth across all these areas, causing slowdown in demand and impeding growth of this business segment. Business was further impacted by the high interest rates and delays in project clearance, as a result of which the Company did not report any significant developments in the Industrial Engines Business.

Business Overview

 

In an effort to address the need for industrial engines across all critical areas, including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, rail cars, power, fire control and material handling, the Company builds customised products to match diverse needs. In line with the overall negative industry trend, the business remained sluggish during the year.

 

Outlook

 

Resurgence in demand is interlinked with the revival of the economy. Going forward, the Company is optimistic about increasing its market share in this business through focussed marketing initiatives and the RandD thrust.

 

 

INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT SEGMENT

 

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT BUSINESS

 

Industry Overview

 

Development of adequate infrastructure has been identified as the most critical prerequisite growth enabler for the country. The development and progress of the economy and infrastructure sector is intrinsically linked to the growth and development of the construction equipment business.

 

The Road Construction segment has been on a recessionary trend since the financial year 2011-12 and the negative trend continued during the year.

 

Business Overview

 

Roads and concreting segments reported general decline as a result of the bleak economic sentiment, leading to a commensurate decline and degrowth in the Company’s business.

 

The period of the slowdown was utilised to expand the product basket through value-additions and technological improvements. The Company successfully launched water cooled engines for Soil Compactors which offers a distinct fuel consumption advantage.

 

Continuing with the strategy to introduce value-added products, the Company signed a MoU with Nikko, a leading Japanese Hot Mix Asphalt plant manufacturer, for trading.

 

 

 

CONCRETING EQUIPMENT BUSINESS

 

Industry Overview

 

The concrete equipment industry especially the Transit Mixer business continued to register a deep decline during the financial year 2013-14. Surplus equipment in the market which was redeployed in the new projects impacted the demand for new batching plants and concrete pumps. The sector’s turnaround hinges on the revival of the economy and a strong positive policy thrust to attract investments back to infrastructure projects and promote active growth in national highway construction.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company manufactures Compaction Equipment (Soil Compactors/Heavy and Light Tandem Rollers) and the entire value chain of concreting equipment including various configurations of Batching Plants, Concrete Pumps, Boom Pumps and Transit Mixers. The business is supported by the strong nation-wide distribution and service network.

 

The Company’s sales were affected by the overall dismal business environment. In spite of the prevailing market conditions, while the turnaround is not visible in the near future, the Company remains hopeful of growth in the long term. And in line with the long-term business opportunity, the Company introduced new products in the concreting business. The financial year 2013-14 saw the Company commercially launch the full range of S-Valve pumps and also subsequently launch the first indigenously manufactured 37 meter Z fold Boom Pump. Despite the product launches, weak operating environment led to year-on-year decline in sales.

 

Outlook

 

The outlook for India's infrastructure sector for the financial year 2014-15 remains negative, due to weak credit profiles for most project companies. No sharp movement is foreseen in the fortunes of the sector, especially in the short term. Favourable policy support and growth-oriented approach from the new Government will play an important role in shaping the fortunes of the beleaguered sector. In the long run, the Company believes that infrastructure sector holds opportunities and with its wide range of offerings, it is poised to ride the demand wave when the opportunity unfolds.
