Cycles/Components/E Scooters<br />

TI businesses are divided into Cycles/Components/E Scooters, Engineering and<br />

Metal forming<br />

The Bicycles/Components/Electric scooters division of the company comprises of<br />

bicycles of the standard and special variety including alloy bikes and specialty<br />

performance bikes, bicycle components sold as spares, fitness equipment (motorised<br />

tread mills, elliptical, recumbent bikes etc.) and Electric scooters.<br />

In FY 2011 this segment accounted for 36% of total sales of the company.<br />

The bicycles volume for the quarter was in line with that of the corresponding period of<br />

last year. Demand fell sharply in April and May but it has picked up since then. Forty<br />

retail outlets under the various formats have been added during the quarter. Retailing<br />

of bicycles and fitness products continue to provide customers a good buying<br />

experience and service that are contemporary and 25% of the bicycle segment revenue<br />

is derived through this channel. The division grew significantly in the premium segment.<br />

With its continued thrust in the Rural Retail format it opened 30 stores during the<br />

quarter taking the tally to 100.<br />

With respect to Electric Scooters the focus was on improving the performance of key<br />

components such as batteries with a view to enhancing distance per charge and reducing<br />

charging time. Though sale of electric scooters was lower during the quarter as compared<br />

to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, consumer interest for these products<br />

is increasing and the subsidies announced by the Government are making them<br />

attractive. It is expected that the performance will be better going forward.<br />

The size of the nascent Indian Electric scooters industry was estimated at about<br />

40,000 scooters in 2010-11 as against 60,000 scooters in the previous year. There<br />

has been a significant consolidation in the industry with a number of regional players/<br />

importers vacating their position due to their inability to meet the exacting quality<br />

and service requirements of the customer. This has reduced the customers’ confidence<br />

in product reliability, affecting overall industry penetration. By the close of 2010-11,<br />

there were only three major national players left in this segment. It is expected that<br />

the sustained focus of the national players on product quality and service coupled<br />

with government support and rising fuel prices will improve the off-take of this<br />

product in the years ahead.<br />

The company strengthened its position in the industry through a number of timely<br />

launches viz.<br />

It introduced a bicycle with a carbon frame, for the first time in the country, designed<br />

and manufactured at the company’s plant. These bikes, launched under the ‘Montra’<br />

brand, were benchmarked with global performance bikes and positioned for the urban<br />

health and fitness conscious segment.<br />

It also introduced the ‘GT’ range of bicycles - an entry level bike in the premium segment.<br />

It also introduced the ‘Mongoose’ range of bicycles in the BMX segment.<br />

Engineering division<br />

In FY 2011 Engineering division accounted for 39% of total sales of the company.<br />

The Engineering division of the company comprises of cold rolled steel strips and<br />

precision steel tubes viz., Cold Drawn Welded tubes (CDW), Electric Resistance Welded<br />

tubes (ERW) and value-added tubular components. These products cater to the growing<br />

requirements of the automotive, boiler, bicycles and general engineering industries.<br />

For the second successive year in FY 2011, the Indian automotive industry reported<br />

TI is the market leader in<br />

precision tubes with 62%<br />

market share by virtue of its<br />

quality and application<br />

engineering capabilities. It is<br />

the market leader in roll<br />

formed car doorframes with<br />

76% market share by virtue<br />

of its cost efficiency,<br />

association with key auto<br />

majors and expertise in roll<br />

forming capabilities.<br />

The Group has forged strong<br />

joint venture alliances with<br />

leading international<br />

companies like Mitsui<br />

Sumitomo, Foskor, Cargill,<br />

Groupe Chimique Tunisien,<br />

Winterthur Technology Group<br />

and Morgan Crucible. The<br />

Group has a wide<br />

geographical presence<br />

panning 13 states in India and<br />

5 continents.<br />
