Management Discussion and Analysis Report

We had in 2015-16 sluggish demand for spare parts with your Company witnessing a 2% drop in sales. On the commercial vehicle end upgradation of power train specifications have increased replacement cycle for engine, gearbox and axle parts. Increased focus of vehicle manufacturers to market spare parts through vehicle dealerships have curtailed sales levels of these parts from us. Relative stability of commodity prices have encouraged lower stock holding at our parts dealers.

Vigorous steps are being taken by your Company to grow the business in this difficult market. 5 new outlets have been opened and sales commenced in two new product lines early in the year under review. While the margins dropped in the first half, it was possible to maintain better margins in the second half. We are hopeful that this trend will continue in 2016-17.

Non-operating income at Rs 7.44 crores is lower compared to the year 2014-15, where non-operating income was Rs 9.53 crores.

The Indian economy is expected to grow above 7% in 2016-17 driven by services sector growth and impetus given by the Government of India for investments in infrastructure. The prediction of an above normal monsoon is likely to increase agricultural output and likely growth in demand for consumer goods in rural areas.
