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 />
