Operational Highlights

Forgings and Machining Facility

The Company derives the major share of its revenues from the commercial vehicle segment. Your Company produced 48,160 tons during the year under review as compared to 46,513 tons last year registering an increase of about 3.54%.

The Company has the state-of-art of CNC Machining and Gear Cutting Facilities in which it has achieved accuracies of DIN 3962 (Class 8 to 9) in Hobbing Stage, DIN 3962 (Class 7) in Shaving Stage.

The Company has made 88 new product development in the CNC Turning, 38 new development in Gear cutting and 10 new products in HMC/VMC Machining centre which has helped to enhance the product basket with existing clients and add new clients in the domestic and export market.

The Company has developed 124 new products during the year out of which 64 products are machined.

Future Outlook

Despite prevailing inflationary headwinds, elevated fuel costs and rising interest rates, the CV sector registered a 28.50% growth in sales volumes in FY23. The factors responsible for the traction are an overall economic improvement, increased public and private capex in infrastructure, better fleet utilisation levels, a flourishing e-commerce sector and a rebound in replacement demand.

End-user industries like food & beverage, construction, automotive and healthcare have a high requirement for commercial vehicles to transport raw materials and distribute finished products to the sales channel. With India transitioning towards an industrialised economy in the coming years, the Indian CV market could experience a healthy uptick over the medium term. Also, with Indians returning to work as before and schools functioning normally, the demand for buses will accelerate.

The Union Budget 2024 has announced a record allocation for infrastructure development at '' 18.6 trillion, a total 28% increase over the budgetary allocation for FY23.

Gross budgetary support for the MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways) is increased by 25% to '' 2.59 trillion for FY24. Also, the allocation to NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) has increased by 15% to '' 1.62 trillion for FY24.

Additionally, the Government has allocated '' 75,000 crore for taking up 100 critical transport infrastructure projects on priority for last and first-mile connectivity for ports, coal, steel, fertilizer, and food grain sectors.

These allocations reflect the Government''s ambition of improving the nation''s core infrastructure and promise to open up significant opportunities for the CV sector, particularly the M&HVC segment.

Further the Vehicle Scrapping Policy aims to create a method to phase out unfit and polluting vehicles. This policy proposes the deregistration of CVs after 15 years if it fails to get a fitness certificate.

According to ICRA, CV sales volume will increase 7-10% in FY24 from a much higher base, primarily owing to massive government spending on infrastructure, back-to-school & office, replacement demand and e-commerce expansion. CRISL mentions that domestic Commercial Vehicles sales volumes is expected to grow 9-11% in FY24 driven by medium and heavy commercial vehicles.

US Truck Sector

The North American Class 6-8 Truck market has been cruising steadily amid strong transport & construction activity marked by high freight volumes as well as rates and robust fleet utilisation levels across operators, while the demand for trucks and order backlogs have been surging across the industry OEMs.

In 2023, experts believe, despite all the existing global headwinds, the industry will continue to make steady progress. State of freight volumes, carrier profitability and potential for further supply-chain disruptions will determine the future truck order. But, with inflation numbers moderating, strong demand for original equipment is expected to sustain.

Deposits

The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public and consequently there are no outstanding deposits in terms of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014 as amended.

Transfer to Reserves

Your Company proposes to transfer '' 500.00 lakhs to General Reserve out of the amount available for appropriation and an amount of '' 80,446.76 lakhs is proposed to be carried over to Balance Sheet as retained earnings.

FY18 was a bumper year for the commercial vehicle segment with strong double-digit growth after nearly six long years. The huge infrastructure push by the government towards road projects, rural development and smart cities has increased demand for larger multi-axle trucks, long-haul trucks and tippers. In fact, the trend reversal in commercial vehicle sales this time around has seen a higher growth in tonnage capacity of vehicles than in number of vehicles.

Moreover, the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax has improved the speed of transport and forced faster migration of the commercial vehicle fleets to higher tonnage vehicles to improve economic viability. This, in turn, has triggered demand growth for replacements.

On an overall basis, M&HCV Production increased by 0.35 % from 3,42,761 vehicles in 2016-17 to 3,43,951 vehicles in 2017-18.

Future Outlook

M&HCV (Truck) segment : This segment is likely to register a growth of 12-14% in FY 2016 driven by continuing trend towards replacement of ageing fleet and expectations of pick-up in demand from infrastructure and industrial sectors in view of reforms being initiated by the Government. Over the medium term, the demand for new CVs will also be driven by gradual acceptance of advance trucking platforms, progression to BS-V emission norms (possibly by 2017 onwards) and introduction of technologies such as Anti- Lock Braking System (ABS), which may lead to some advance purchases by fleet operators.

As the global economy recovers, commercial vehicle registrations should gather strength. It is expected to rise by 2.1% in 2015 and accelerate into 2016 and beyond, taking the annual average growth to 4.7% over 2015-19. This growth will be driven by rising business confidence, bolstered by the unexpected decision to keep interest rates low in most developed markets. Low global oil prices could also encourage a rise in freight traffic against other shipping methods.
