(i) During the year ended, the Company has allotted 68,180 Ordinary Shares each of R2 each, previously unissued on account of unpaid calls.

 

(j) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to shares :

(i) Ordinary shares and ‘A’ Ordinary shares, both of INR 2 each :

 

  • The Company has two classes of shares – the Ordinary shares and the ‘A’ Ordinary shares both of R2 each (together referred to as shares). In respect of every Ordinary share (whether fully or partly paid), voting rights shall be in the same proportion as the capital paid up on such Ordinary share bears to the total paid up Ordinary share capital of the Company. In case of every ‘A’ Ordinary share, if any resolution is put to vote on a poll or by postal ballot at any general meeting of shareholders, the holder shall be entitled to one vote for every ten ‘A’ Ordinary shares held as per the terms of its issue and if a resolution is put to vote on a show of hands, the holder of ‘A’ Ordinary shares shall be entitled to the same number of votes as available to holders of Ordinary shares.

 

  • The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Further, the Board of Directors may also declare an interim dividend. The holders of ‘A’ Ordinary shares shall be entitled to receive dividend for each financial year at five percentage point more than the aggregate rate of dividend declared on Ordinary shares for that financial year.

 

  • In the event of liquidation, the shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to their shareholdings.

 

(ii) American Depository Shares (ADSs) and Global Depository Shares (GDSs) :

 

  • Each ADS and GDS underlying the ADR and GDR respectively represents five Ordinary shares of R2 each. A holder of ADS and GDS is not entitled to attend or vote at shareholders meetings. An ADS holder is entitled to issue voting instructions to the depository with respect to the Ordinary shares represented by ADSs only in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s ADSs deposit agreement and Indian Law. The depository for the ADSs and GDSs shall exercise voting rights in respect of the deposited shares by issue of an appropriate proxy or power of attorney in terms of the respective deposit agreements.

 

  • Shares issued upon conversion of ADSs and GDSs will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary shares of R2 each in all respects including entitlement of the dividend declared.

BACKGROUND AND OPERATIONS

 

Tata Motors Limited referred to as (“the Company” or “Tata Motors”) designs manufactures and sells a wide range of automotive vehicles. The Company also manufactures engines for industrial and marine applications.

 

The Company is a public limited Company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Mumbai India. As at March 31 2017 Tata Sons Limited together with its subsidiaries owns 31.69 % of the Ordinary shares and 0.09 % of ‘A’ Ordinary shares of the Company and has the ability to significantly influence the Company’s operation. The standalone financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on May 23 2017.

 

OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITS

 

Fiscal 2017 has been marked by couple of ‘Black Swan’ events (like Brexit -UK decision to exit EU and Demonetization in India) having a large impact on the future course of developments. This year was marked by the way for the long awaited and transformational Goods and Service Tax (GST).

 

Growth of World GDP has been 3.1% in Fiscal 2016. A recovery in commodity prices has provided some relief to commodity exporters and helped in reducing the deflationary pressures. The Orgainisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) ability to increase price by cutting down production has been curtailed by rising Shale gas output in US. Moreover structural problems such as low productivity growth and high-income inequality persisted and are likely to be continued. Activity rebounded strongly in the United States in second half of calendar 2016 compared to weaker first half. However output remained below potential in a number of other advanced economies notable in the European area. The picture of emerging market and developing economies remained much more diverse. The growth rate in China was a bit stronger than expected supported by continued policy stimulus. Activity was weaker than expected in some Latin American countries such as Brazil whereas activity in Russia was slightly better than expected in part reflecting firmer oil prices.

 

India’s economy has grown at a strong pace in recent years owing to the implementation of critical structural reforms and lower external vulnerabilities. It has grown by 7.1% in Fiscal 2017 compared to 7.9% in Fiscal 2016 primarily because of the temporary consumption shock induced by cash shortages and payment disruptions from demonetisation. Private investment continues to remain weak due to over capacity. In order to propel the economy the government has been trying to give a thrust to the investment by allocating a higher sum towards gross fixed capital formation.

 

The Tata Motors Group registered a de-growth of 1.1% in income from operations to INR 2744920.000 Million in Fiscal 2017 as compared to INR 2776610.000 Million in Fiscal 2016 due to negative translation impact from Great British Pound (GB£) to Indian Rupee (`) of INR 276860.000 Million and de-growth in the M&HCV segment in India was offset by higher wholesale volumes in Jaguar and Land Rover and growth in Passenger Vehicle segment in India. The consolidated EBITDA margins for Fiscal 2017 stood at 13.4%. Consequently Profit Before Tax (PBT) and Profit After Tax (PAT) [post share of profit of joint ventures and associates (net)] were INR 93150.000 Million and INR 75570.000 Million respectively.

 

Tata Motors Limited recorded income from operations (including joint operations) of INR 491000.000 Million 3.6% higher from INR 473840.000 Million in the previous year. Muted demand of M&HCV and LCV due to weak replacement demand subdued freight demand from industrial segment which took a further hit post demonetization and lower than expected pre-buying ahead of the implementation of BS-IV resulting in lower EBITDA margins of 3.5% in Fiscal 2017 as against 7.1% in Fiscal 2016. Loss Before and After Tax (including joint operations) for Fiscal 2017 were at INR 24210.000 Million and INR 24800.000 Million respectively as compared to Loss Before and After Tax (including joint operations) of INR 670.000 Million and INR 620.000 Million respectively in Fiscal 2016. The losses were primarily driven by less favourable market and model mix including higher marketing expenses depreciation and amortization and other operating cost.

 

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) (as per IFRS) recorded revenues of GB£24.3 billion compared to GB£22.3 billion in Fiscal 2016 driven by higher sales volumes and weaker GB£.

 

PBT in Fiscal 2017 was GB£1.6 billion in-line with the PBT of GB£1.6 billion in Fiscal 2016 the lower EBIT and unfavourable foreign exchange revaluation was more than offset by a favourable revaluation of commodity hedges and of GB£151 million further recoveries relating too to Tianjin fire in this year compared to GB£157 million net charge than in Fiscal 2016.

 

Tata Motors Finance Limited (TMFL) (consolidated) (as per Indian GAAP) the Company’s captive financing subsidiary reported revenue of INR 27210.000 Million (Fiscal 2016 INR 32290.000 Million) and reported a Loss After Tax INR 11820.000 Million in Fiscal 2017 as compared to PAT INR 2670.000 Million in Fiscal 2016.

 

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company Limited South Korea (TDCV) (as per Korean GAAP) registered revenues of KRW 1032 billion in Fiscal 2017 a growth of 17.3% over Fiscal 2016 mainly due to increase in domestic sales. The PAT was KRW 50 billion compared to KRW 46 billion in Fiscal 2016. Higher domestic volume better mix favourable exchange realizations and material cost reduction helped in improving profits.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMY OVERVIEW

 

INDIA

 

The Indian economy in Fiscal 2017 on a macro-economic level stayed fairly robust and stable. India was one of the faster growing large economies in the world with a currency that performed better than most other emerging markets. There was a significant upturn in commodity prices after a year of deflation. Consumer spending remained subdued during the early part of the year impacted by two years of drought. This year was marked by the way for the long awaited and transformational Goods and Services Tax (GST).

 

Fiscal 2017 was an eventful year for automobile sector due to: i) Ban on diesel cars ii) Demonetization iii) Ban on sale and registration of BSIII vehicles. The demonetization affected the Indian economy which resulted in decline in sale of passenger and commercial vehicles by 2.3% in December 2016. Further ban on sale and registration of vehicles has resulted in higher discounts by the automobile companies at the end of Fiscal 2017 and inventories to be either converted into BSIV vehicles or scrapped affecting the profits.

 

As per the advance estimates in Fiscal 2017 India’s GDP increased by 7.1% as compared to an increase of 7.9% in Fiscal 2016 (based on second advanced estimate data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation). Agriculture sector registered a 4.4% growth in Fiscal 2017 as compared to 0.8% in Fiscal 2016. According to the new base year (2011-12) the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded 5.0% growth in Fiscal 2017 as compared to 3.4% in Fiscal 2016. Significant factors influencing IIP growth in Fiscal 2017 included a 4.9% increase in the manufacturing sector compared to 3.0% in Fiscal 2016 which was due to a better performance of sectors like motor vehicles other transport equipment and pharmaceuticals. The IIP of the mining & quarrying sector increased by 5.3% compared to 4.3% in Fiscal 2016 and electricity services recorded moderate increase of 5.8% in Fiscal 2017 as compared to 5.7% in Fiscal 2016. The consumer durables sector grew by 6.1% in Fiscal 2017 as compared to 4.3% in Fiscal 2016. (Source: Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation).

 

However real GDP growth was lower than Fiscal 2016. Nominal GDP growth recovered to respectable levels reversing the sharp and worrisome dip that had occurred. The Consumer Price Index (CPI)- New Series inflation displayed a downward trend since July 2016. The rising international oil prices resulted in reversal of WPI. Core inflation however was more stable. The current account deficit declined in the first half of Fiscal 2017. The trade deficit declined for majority of period. During the first half of the fiscal there was a contraction in imports which was far steeper than the fall in exports but during later half both exports and imports started a long-awaited recovery

 

WORLD

 

The below par performance of global economy was reflected in a continued slowdown in growth in most of the emerging and developing markets. Activity rebounded strongly in the United States in second half of 2016 after a weak first half. However output remained below potential in a number of other advanced economies notable in the euro area. The picture for emerging market and developing economies remained much more diverse. The growth rate in China was a bit stronger than expected supported by continued policy stimulus. However activity was weaker than expected in some Latin American countries such as Brazil. Activity in Russia was slightly better than expected in part reflecting firmer oil prices.

 

During 2016 prices of base metals have also strengthened with strong infrastructure and real estate investment in China as well as expectations of fiscal easing in the US. Oil prices increased later half of 2016 reflecting an agreement among major producers to trim supply.

 

The UK secured its seventh consecutive year of growth since the recession and have been the fastest growing of the group of seven leading industrial economies in 2016. Sterling suffered two sharp devaluations this year — immediately after the EU referendum in June and in October as statements made at the Conservative party conference stoked fears of a “hard Brexit”. The Eurozone had marginal GDP growth in 2016; however rising inflation poses a risk on growth and may reduce consumer spending. France and Spain had better prospects with GDP growing at decent rates while Germany and Italy showed no change with GDP growth rates same as last year.

 

The GDP for China showed a steady performance. The real estate sector has seen an increased investment by government. The Consumer Price Index increased in 2016. Russia’s GDP grew as it continues to recover form crisis brought by low oil prices and western sanctions that closed access to international market. Its inflation is on track to reach projected target of CBR (Central Bank of Russia).

 

Japan’s economic growth is on back of weaker Yen and government steps to stimulate sluggish completion the GDP grew in 2016 and unemployment rate declined. South Africa had GDP increase mainly due to marginally higher global growth Stabilized commodity prize Business and Consumer confidence and Improved Labor Relations.

 

Environmental performance:

 

Jaguar Land Rover’s strategy is to invest in products and technologies that position their products ahead of expected stricter environmental regulations and ensure that they benefit from a shift in consumer awareness of the environmental impact of the vehicles driven by customers. The Company also believe that Jaguar Land Rover are leaders in automotive green technology in the United Kingdom. Jaguar Land Rover’s environmental vehicle strategy focuses on new propulsion technology weight reduction and reducing parasitic losses through the driveline. They have developed diesel hybrid versions of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport without compromising the vehicles’ off road capability or load space.

 

Jaguar Land Rover are a global leader in the use of aluminium and other lightweight materials to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel and CO2 efficiency and Jaguar Land Rover believe that it is ahead of many of its competitors in the implementation of aluminium construction. For example the Jaguar XE is the only vehicle in its class to use an aluminium intensive monocoque. Jaguar Land Rover plan to continue to build on this expertise and extend the application of aluminium construction as they develop a range of new products. The aluminium body architecture introduced on the Jaguar XE is also used in the new lightweight Jaguar XF and the new Jaguar F PACE and the all new Land Rover Discovery uses the same lightweight architecture as the Range Rover and Range

Rover Sport.

 

Jaguar Land Rover are also developing more efficient powertrains and other technologies. This includes smaller and more efficient 2.0 litre diesel and petrol engines (now available across the majority of Company’s model range) stop start mild and plug-in hybrids as well as battery electric propulsion technologies. Jaguar Land Rover’s smaller and more efficient family of Ingenium diesel and petrol engines as well the lightweight Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Diesel Hybrids powered by downsized and more efficient engines and alternative powertrains have all contributed to the improvement of their carbon footprint.

 

Jaguar Land Rover’s current product line up is the most efficient it has ever been and the environmental performance of their vehicles has been further improved through the launch of new models. The new Land Rover Discovery uses lightweight aluminium construction which saves 480 kg compared to the old model delivering enhanced efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. The aluminium intensive Jaguar XE is the most fuel efficient Jaguar and the first Jaguar Land Rover vehicle to receive a UK VED Band A rating resulting in a £0/annum tax rate and the aluminium intensive XF delivers improved fuel consumption and CO2 emission performance. The 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel and petrol engines now used extensively in the product line-up provide significant CO2 reductions versus the outgoing powertrains.

 

Jaguar Land Rover has pledged that by 2020 half of its model will have the option of electrification a move spearheaded by its first full electric car the Jaguar I-Pace. On sale in 2018 the I-Pace is a preview of the Jaguar Land Rover’s first production battery power car and demonstrates its ongoing commitment to create exciting and desirable electric vehicles.

 

Recognizing the need to use resources responsibly produce less waste and reduce Jaguar Land Rover’s carbon footprint they are also taking measures to reduce emissions waste and the use of natural resources in all of their operations.

 

 

 

Mitigating cyclicality:

 

The automobile industry is impacted by cyclicality. To mitigate the impact of cyclicality the Company plans to continually strengthen its operations through gaining market share across different segments and offering a wide range of products in diverse geographies and segments such as defence. The Company also plans to continue to strengthen its business operations other than vehicle sales such as financing of its vehicles spare part sales service and maintenance contracts sales of aggregates for non-vehicle businesses reconditioning of aggregates and sale of castings production aids and tooling/fixtures in order to reduce the impact of cyclicality of the automotive industry.

 

Expanding the Company international business:

 

The Company’s international expansion strategy involves entering new markets where it has an opportunity to grow and introducing new products to existing markets in order to grow its presence in such markets.

Based on the Company’s internal assessments in recent years it has grown its market share across various African and Middle East markets such as Tanzania Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates and Qatar in addition to maintaining its dominant market position in the South Asian markets of Bangladesh Nepal and Sri Lanka based on data compiled by Company’s country managers. In keeping with the Company’s strategy to enter and grow in new regions it has focused on business in the ASEAN countries where in the recent years the Company entered Vietnam Indonesia Malaysia and the Philippines. Tunisia has been an example of a success story in a new market where over the last two years the Company has entered and rapidly ramped up retails and is now a major player in the pickup segment.

 

The Company has also expanded its range through acquisitions and joint ventures. The Company now offer products in the premium performance car and premium all-terrain vehicle categories with globally recognized brands through Jaguar Land Rover and has diversified its business across markets and product categories. The production of the Range Rover Evoque commenced at the China Joint Venture in October 2014 and went on general retail sale in China in February 2015. Production of the Discovery Sport was also added as the second vehicle to be manufactured at the China joint venture in Fiscal 2016 which went on general retail sale in November 2015 and in September 2016 sales of the long wheelbase Jaguar XFL from Company’s China joint venture began. The Company will aim to continue to build upon the internationally recognized brands of Jaguar Land Rover.

Most of these disputes and/or disallowances, being repetitive in nature, have been raised by the income tax authorities consistently in most of the years.

 

The Company has a right of appeal to the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), or CIT (A), the Dispute Resolution Panel, or DRP, and to the Income Tax Appellate

 

Tribunal, or ITAT, against adverse decisions by the assessing officer, DRP or CIT (A), as applicable.

Customs, Excise Duty and Service Tax

 

As at March 31, 2017, there are pending litigation for various matters relating to customs, excise duty and service taxes involving demands, including interest and penalties, of INR 13241.900 Million (INR 12846.000 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 13342.100 Million as at April 1, 2015).

As at March 31, 2017, the Excise Authorities had denied a CENVAT credit of INR 294.300 Million and imposed a penalty of R Nil for the period between April 2011 to September 2012 (INR 524.100 Million and a INR 230.000 Million CENVAT credit and penalty, respectively, as at March 31, 2016 and INR 524.100 Million and a INR 230.000 Million CENVAT credit and penalty, respectively, as at April 1, 2015) in respect of consulting engineering services alleged to have been used exclusively for producing prototypes at the Engineering Research Centre, in Pune. The contention of the Excise Authorities is that since the Company claims exemptions from CENVAT under Notification No.167/71-CE, dated September 11, 1971, the Company is not entitled to avail service tax credits on consulting engineering services used in the Engineering Research Centre. The matter is being contested by the Company before the appellate authorities. The Company believes it has a merit in its case, since the consulting engineering services are not exclusively used in the manufacture of prototypes and they form part of the assessable value of final products manufactured by the Company on which CENVAT is paid.

 

The Excise Authorities have raised a demand for R90.72 Million as at March 31, 2017 (INR 907.200 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 907.200 Million as at April 1, 2015), on account of alleged undervaluation’s of ex-factory discounts given by Company on passenger vehicles through invoices.

The Company has obtained a technical expert certificate on the classification. The appeal is pending before the Custom Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal.

 

The Excise Authorities had denied the Company’s claim of a CENVAT credit of INR 249.600 Million (INR 227.400 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 83.670 Million as at April 1, 2015) claimed by the Company from Fiscal 1992 to Fiscal 2013, on technical grounds.

The Company has challenged this demand as NCCD and the automobile cess is assessed on those vehicles, which are “duties of excise”. Therefore, the Company asserts that these vehicles are not “Exempted Products”.  The matter is being contested by the Company before the appellate authorities.

 

As at March 31, 2017, the Excise Authorities have raised a demand amounting to INR 29.540 Million (INR 29.540 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 29.540 Million as at April 1, 2015) on pre-delivery inspection charges and free after-sales service charges incurred by dealers on certain of the Company’s products on the alleged grounds that the pre-delivery inspection charges and free after-sales services are provided by the dealer on behalf of the Company and should be included in excisable value of the vehicle. The case is pending before Tribunal.

 

As at March 31, 2017, the Excise Authorities have raised a demand amounting to R Nil (INR 21.890 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 21.890 Million as at April 1, 2015) with respect to customs duties on dies and fixtures imported under the EPCG Scheme and, in the case of the fixtures, are installed at premises of a vendor. The Tribunal has rejected the stay application filed by the department. The department has further filed an appeal with CESTAT.

 

As at March 31, 2017, the Excise Authorities have raised demand amounting to INR 34.680 Million (INR 14.730Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 12.700 Million as at April 1, 2015) with respect to denial of CENVAT credit on service tax availed on freight outward and courier services.

The Company is contesting this issue.

 

The Sales Tax authorities have denied input tax credit and levied interest and penalty thereon due to varied reasons aggregating to INR 305.460 Million as at March 31, 2017 (INR 330.170 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 366.450 Million as at April 1, 2015). The reasons for disallowing credit was mainly due to  Taxes not paid by Vendors, incorrect method of calculation of set off as per the department, alleging suppression of sales as per the department etc. The matter is contested in appeal.

 

Sales tax demand aggregating INR 258.350 Million as at March 31, 2017 (INR 252.660 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 258.40 Million as at April 1, 2015) has been raised by Sales Tax Authorities disallowing the concessional rate of 2% on certain purchases of raw materials in case the final product is stock transferred for sale outside the state.

Other amounts for which the Company may contingently be liable aggregate to INR 221.140 Million (INR 229.420 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 258.090 Million as at April 1, 2015). Following are the cases involving more than R20 Million:

The dispute relating to classification is presently pending before the Supreme Court and the other dispute is pending before the Bombay High Court on remand by the Supreme Court.

 

As at March 31, 2017, property tax amounting to INR 53.700 Million (R INR 50.560 Million as at March 31, 2016 and INR 49.100 Million as at April 1, 2015) has been demanded by the local municipal authorities in respect of vacant land of the Company in the plant in Pimpri, Pune.

PRESS RELEASE

 

JOB CUTS, FALLING SALES: TATA MOTORS’ CASH COW JLR FACES MULTIPLE CHALLENGES

 

Reacting to the news of JLR job cuts, Tata Motors shares fell 5% to Rs338.95 apiece on Monday. Tata Motors is now down 27% since 1 April 2017as compared to BSE Auto index, which has rallied by 16%

 

April 17 2018

 

The weekend was not a happy one for employees of Tata Motors Ltd’s unit Jaguar Land Rover Limited (JLR) in the UK. The firm announced about 1,000 job cuts and relocation of some of its employees around plant locations. Reacting to this, on Monday investors dumped shares of Tata Motors that fell 5% to Rs338.95 apiece at the close of trading. The stock is now 27% down since 1 April 2017, a pathetic performance compared to benchmark indices such as the Sensex and BSE Auto index, both of which have rallied by 16%.

 

Indeed, the management may justify the job cuts as affecting only temporary jobs, which is done to manage the business and production cycles. However, the writing on the wall is clear. JLR is facing tough times with a sales slowdown. For the first time in eight quarters, the company’s sales contracted by 3.8%, although growth rates were coming off for a while now (see chart).

 

An analysis of region-wise sales numbers shows that JLR is losing heavily in the UK. Retail sales fell by 13% in fiscal year 2018 (FY18) after double-digit growth for three years. The story is similar in Europe, where sales contracted by 5%. That’s not all—growth in North America plummeted to 5% from 24% and 27% in the earlier two years. For JLR, these three regions account for about two-thirds the total vehicle sales.

 

Reasons for the drop in sales range from stiff competition in the luxury segment to high tax rates on diesel cars to curb use of the fuel. However, some critics say the company has lost out on innovative new launches, which are important to lure customers in the high-end luxury market.

With US protectionism gaining momentum, there could be taxes on imported vehicles, which may further thwart JLR sales in the region.

 

The company ’s only saving grace is China, where sales are rising, although there too growth is slowing.

 

Certainly, a firm’s products going downhill in the market is the first sign of trouble from an investor standpoint as it affects the ability to grow earnings. The next is employee layoffs as it implies weak cash flows and the need to trim costs.

 

All this is against a backdrop of an imminent need for JLR to cough up billions to fund research on the next new wave of electric vehicles. This will hurt profit margins that are already ebbing away.

 

The March quarter forecast for JLR is about 10% operating margin, down from its heydays of 15-16%. Add to this the foreign exchange losses on hedges during Brexit that have also eroded profitability.

 

Thankfully, there is a sweet spot in that Tata Motors’ stand-alone business is booming on the back of a strong uptrend in commercial vehicle sales on home ground.

 

But the fact remains that it is JLR that accounts for more than 90% of consolidated profits at Tata Motors. Even a small sneeze in that company sends shivers down the Tata Motors’ stock.

 

One can anticipate a cut in earnings estimate on weak sales numbers and a tense outlook for FY19.

 

 

TATA MOTORS BETS ON TURNAROUND PLAN TO BOOST CV MARKET SHARE TO 44% IN FY18

 

Apr 22, 2018

 

Homegrown auto major Tata Motors saw its market share in commercial vehicles (CV) segment in the domestic market inch closer to 44 per cent in 2017-18 riding on its turnaround strategy which aims at regaining lost ground to rivals.

 

According to Society of Indian Automobile manufacturers (SIAM) data, Tata Motors sold a total of 3,76,456 units of CVs in 2017-18 as against 3,05,620 units in 2016-17, a growth of 23.17 per cent.

 

The overall industry CV sales in 2017-18 were at 8,56,453 units in 2017-18 as against 7,14,082 units in 2016-17.

 

In terms of market share, Tata Motors increased it to 43.95 per cent in FY18 from 42.79 per cent in FY17.

 

Last August, while addressing shareholders, Tata Motors Chairman N Chandrasekaran expressed concern over the company's falling CV market share from a high of nearly 60 per cent five years back and emphasised on the turnaround plan for its domestic business with a special focus on the ailing commercial vehicles business.

 

"FY18 has been landmark year for the CV business of Tata Motors. Reviving the domestic CV business was one of the key focus areas in the company's turnaround strategy. We are delighted that we have gained good momentum and shown growth on the back of strong product portfolio across segments and intense customer engagement," Tata Motors President (Commercial Vehicles Business) Girish Wagh told .

 

The execution of sales enhancement, rigorous cost reduction and timely product launches, delivered quick results on CV volumes, market share grew and bottom-line improved during the year, he added.

 

"Besides significant ramp-up of production, structural de-bottlenecking of the supply chain and rationalisation of strategic supplier base were also undertaken as major projects," Wagh said.

 

The company's domestic sales of medium and heavy commercial vehicles in FY18 stood at 1,68,013 units as against 1,48,901 units in FY17, a growth of 12.83 per cent.

 

In the light CV category, Tata Motors posted a growth of 33 per cent in FY18 at 2,08,443 units as against 1,56,719 units in FY17.

 

On the outlook for the new fiscal, Wagh said, "With the successful last year, the company is now changing gears to move one level higher with Turnaround 2.0 in FY19. We are confident that these measures will help us achieve our targets while improving our performance and taking customer centricity to the next level." RKL AKT ANS
