Dear Friends,

I would like to start my message by paying homage to Late Mr. Awanish Kumar Dev, General Manager HR, who lost his life in the unfortunate violence at Maruti Suzuki Manesar plant. We wholeheartedly condemn this violent act and pray to the almighty to give strength to his family and bring peace to his soul.

The quarter gone by was filled with many uncertainties and complexities both domestically as well as globally. Fuel price hike, low economic growth rate, drastic fluctuation of the Indian Rupee, increased FDI limits in key sectors are the main factors that have affected the Indian economy in several ways and shall continue to do so in the long term. Experts have expressed mixed opinion over diesel price hike. Some of them say that diesel price hike will lead to decrease in sales in automobile sector whereas some believe that hike in diesel price could encourage buyers, who have been deferring purchase, to come back to the market and demand of petrol cars could improve. There, still exists a huge gap in petrol and diesel prices. To me, the hike in the price of diesel was inevitable and is a step in the right direction.

The cumulative Domestic Automobile production data for July -September 2012 shows negative growth of 2 % over the same period last year. Passenger Vehicles segment had a flat growth and two-wheeler segment recorded a negative growth of 2%. The DK Jain group registered a sales growth of 10% and our flagship company Lumax Industries Ltd posted a growth of 12%.

Friends, as is evident from the above figures, the Indian Automobile Industry is going through a turbulent patch. However, the recent bold policy measures announced by the government are aimed at putting the economy in top gear and expected to revive the investor sentiment in the economy. Many experts have labelled this period as the second round of reforms for the country. With the various bold initiatives taken by the government to revive the economy and the approaching festive season, I am sure that Q3 looks promising.

All major OEMs are preparing for the up-coming festive season and a lot of hope for the revival of the industry is being pinned

around this festive season. Fabulous offers are in store by the OEMs to lure customers and increase market share in their respective segments.

All the above factors are part of the external environment, which we have no control over. We need to focus on our internal environment, where we can make a difference. I am glad to inform you that Lumax DK, Pantnagar has challenged the JIPM TPM and has successfully cleared the first stage of assessment. I congratulate all the team members for this achievement.

Also, post the successful launch and implementation of SAP in Lumax Industries Limited, the Lumax Auto Technologies team has also taken up the challenge to implement SAP and Go-Live from April 1, 2013. I wish the team the very best for this journey.

Friends, as you are aware, the industry and your group is passing though testing times, therefore I, on the pretext of repeating myself,would request all of you to please focus on existing resources and utilize them to the fullest. Any new investment on CAPEX should be done if imperative. Focus on Quality and customer satisfaction always should be our differentiating factor vis-à-vis competition. We need to stand united in these times and I am sure we shall sail through them as we have done in the past.

In the end, by the time this edition of Sagar reaches you, the Diwali festivities would be in the air. I take this opportunity to wish all the readers of Sagar and their families a very Happy, Safe and Prosperous Diwali. May this festive season bring a lot of joy and hope to all our lives.

God Bless!

Business Standard

Lumax scales down investments, growth estimate on Maruti issues

Media

New Delhi: At a time when weak macroeconomic conditions have set alarm

bells ringing among stakeholders in the domestic automobile industry, component makers are scaling up exports to bail their way out of trouble.

While automobile lighting systems manufacturer Lumax Industries has been introducing new product lines to sustain business on foreign shores, Anand Automotive is working with collaborators Behr and Mahle (Germany) to double international business to Rs 1000 crore by decade-end.

Lumax Industries have added on to its portfolio to sustain global business. “When sales of existing products slowed, we expanded into new product lines to boost business”, said Anmol Jain, senior executive director. The company, which exports components to the UK, the US, Spain and Germany, estimates the share of exports to grow to 10 per cent from the current five per cent by 2017.

Europe, itself mired in a slowdown, continues to be the largest export market for Indian component manufacturers. As much as 35 per cent of all auto components are exported to Europe. Vinnie Mehta, executive director, ACMA explained, “While Europe is sluggish, Germany, a key export market in the region, continues to be stable.”

New Delhi : Automobile lighting systems maker Lumax Industries said it is scaling down investments and may miss the growth target due to workers’ agitation at Maruti Suzuki India’s (MSI) Manesar plant.

“For this fiscal we had planned a Rs 100-crore investment but we are refraining from going aggressive on that, the growth of the passenger vehicle industry was mainly driven by MSI and Mahindra & Mahindra, but with MSI having a tough time no one would like to risk investments on the growth of just one company (M&M). ” Lumax Industries Senior Executive Director Anmol Jain told reporters on the sidelines of Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) annual convention here.

“We had made that investment predominantly for Maruti but since they have had a lockout, our margins have been impacted as a consequence,” Jain said. Jain said that last fiscal the company had invested Rs 125 crore of which Rs 90 crore was in capacity expansion. Commenting on the growth prospects for Lumax Industries, Jain said, “We envisaged a growth of about 25% at the beginning of the fiscal. At present we are growing at 12-15% and that is where I expect to close the current fiscal.” The company had clocked Rs 1,850 crore in revenue last fiscal.
