1 Executive Summary
India in last decade has grown into a large automotive market particularly for Japanese OEMs while the European and
Americans have also entered for the long haul. India however due to the recent economic slowdown witnessed weak auto sales
which impacted consumer as well as OEM sentiment.
We believe henceforth India auto story will now be driven by four factors :
a) pent up demand (low sales last 2-3 years),
b) reducing food and fuel inflation (down 600 bps to 9.4%/ down 400 bps to 4%) from peak)
c) income growth due to improved business climate,
d) lower penetration into households (e.g. 14 per thousand in Passenger vehicles).
We believe the Indian automotive market could witness ~15% CAGR FY14-17E on the back of the demand improvement. From
auto component makers perspective besides, the aforementioned reasons would also lead to higher content per car and
consumers up-trading to higher quality & safety and increased features.
Auto sector to benefit greatly from Make in India! The governments has laid out a vision statement towards ushering India as
a global manufacturing hub via the Make in India campaign. It has been accepted well across the board notably from auto
component behemoths like Bosch Ltd. At present auto sectors contribution to GDP remains at ~7%, leads the manufacturing
sector, thus we believe it would greatly benefit from this specialized focus. Global auto components market is valued at
~US$800billion; of which India contributes ~ 5% share at ~$38 billion. In this context it is little wonder that large automotive
companies like Volvo, VW, GM, Bosch, Magna are investing into the Indian automotive market with not only the view of a large
market but as well as a global manufacturing hub.
We believe that auto-component players are well poised to leverage operating benefits from the cyclical turnaround in auto
sales. The Indian ancillary industry, as per the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) estimates, stands at
~$38 billion.
2 Industry Overview
2.1 Nature and Size of the Industry
History and Evolution of the industry
The Indian auto ancillary industry is very competitive with the presence of a handful of
global and Indian auto-companies. The industry had witnessed slower growth in 2008
09 due to the global recession. Over the years, these companies have enlarged their
global reach and the exports have grown at ~17% p.a. in the last six years (from FY
05). Global best practices like 5-S, TQM, Kaizen, 6 Sigma, TPM etc. are followed by a
significant number of component manufacturers and these quality certifications are
giving them global recognition. The Indian automobile market is estimated to become
third largest in the world by 2016 and will account for more than 5% of the global
vehicle sales.
The industry caters to 3 major segments
OEM Segment (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
Replacement/After Market (AM)
Export
OEM segment, Replacement sector and export constitute 60%, 25% and 15% of total
production respectively. With the quality of production improving and with lower
manufacturing cost in India exports will be increasing going forward.

Rationale
Automobile Industry
The growth in automobile industry will give a boost to the auto ancillaries industry
since more than 50 percent sales are to the OEMs. The current low penetration along
with rising income levels and a rapidly growing middle class gives a wide scope for
growth.
Exports of automobiles have also emerged as a key component of growth. They will
indirectly increase the demand for Indian auto components.
Easy availability of finance and sales promotion offers and declining interest rate cycle
directly impacts demand for vehicles and components and is thus a growth driver.
The Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016,and a sequel of AMP II (2017-27), to
put in place a framework for the long-term growth trajectory of the auto and auto
ancillary sector.
Creation of Technology Up-gradation & Development Scheme (TUDS) for Auto
Components and setting up of the Auto Component Technology Development Fund
(ATDF), will help the companies in accessing loans at reduced rates of interest for the
R&D activities, up gradation of process, and technology acquisition.
The government has allowed 100% foreign equity investment in the sector, through the
automatic route, without any minimum investment criteria.
The Governments Union budget 2014 has allocated an enormous amount of Rs.
37,850. More roads would lead to more vehicle sales, and thus a boost to auto ancillary
industry.
The current public transport is inadequate and thus there is a scope of growth in the
same, which would lead to higher demand of auto ancillary products.

Rationale
Access to technology
Companies with quick access to technology are in a better position to procure orders
from OEMs and be competitive. Products with updated technology greatly influence
OEM decisions in finalising auto ancillary vendors.
The extent of research and development efforts, operations define the degree of
product complexity. It discourages new entrants, thus ensuring stable market position.
Market Share
A strong market share enables companies to withstand pricing pressure giving it the
option of bulk ordering, hence enabling it to offer competitive prices in both the
domestic and export markets.

increasingly relegate a number of small and medium - sized units to servicing the replacement market over the long term.
This is expected to increase the pressure on profitability in the replacement market. Moreover, the emerging trend of single supplier sourcing is expected to find increased acceptance resulting in lower pricing flexibility for component manufacturers
unless significant volume from the replacement market is implied. Further, the large number of variants and models is
expected to result in lower capacity utilisation levels and a consequent decline in operating profitability. Moreover, the
reduction in the number of vehicle platforms would also translate into significant volumes for the component manufacturer
and result in lower developmental cost of components.

compelling objectives, and to ensure that they are attained systematically. Our objectives and actions always follow a
clear long-term strategy, both for our business field portfolio and for the global distribution of our business activities. This
rigorous pursuit of long-term objectives is based on a systematic business policy intended to preserve our entrepreneurial
freedom and financial independence at all times.
Innovative strength
The germ cell of our company and driving force behind our development is our determination to use our own creative
ideas to generate new technological solutions that deliver a high level of customer utility. The ability to do this stems from
the high qualifications and motivation of our associates and our close cooperation with customers who are at the cutting
edge of technology. This includes the readiness to invest significant resources in our own basic research, as well as in
projects whose market success will only be attained in the long term.
Efficient processes
As a mature industrial company, we have extensive experience of processes on all levels of value creation, from
development and production to sales. Our strengths also include our deep-rooted drive and capacity for continuous
improvement (CIP), which we use to continuously increase our efficiency in achieving the best return on investment. In
global competition, this allows us to perform a balancing act between functional differentiations of our products on the
one hand and cost leadership in commodity products on the other.

3.7 3rd Generation Balanced Scorecard (Amalgamation of 1st Generation BSC and Activity System Map)
In the automotive industry, customers are always willing to pay a premium for innovation. Both process innovation and
product innovation are required to compete and earn a profit. Companies that can bring better quality in the form of new
products and new technology to market faster and cheaper become the winners in the automotive industry. It is necessary to
measure the speed at which innovation can be converted from ideas to profit.

Positive Image: One critical factor that often defines an automotive company is its public image. Because buyers entrust
their safety, along with a sizable portion of their income, to a car company, the perception of the company figures greatly
in the buying decision. Factors influencing an automotive company's image include advertising, word of mouth and expert
reviews and opinions.
Distribution Network: A more practical critical success factor for any automotive company is a strong network for
distribution. Because cars and trucks are not sold directly to customers, auto manufacturers rely on franchised dealerships
to provide local showrooms. These dealers must be knowledgeable and reputable to sell cars, which is essential for the
automaker. Like auto corporations, dealers are reliant on a positive image that may be influenced by, or influence in turn,
the image of the automaker.
Cash Flow: A healthy cash flow is another practical critical success factor. When an automaker provides incentives or
lowers prices, it almost always sells more cars, but the profit margin may not be a healthy one. At the same time, an
automaker needs to keep costs under control, including line items that are prone to fluctuation such as the price of raw
materials and outsourced components. Achieving a sustainable cash flow is central to the frequent discussions between
automakers and employee unions.
Compliance: Automakers must also ensure that the vehicles they sell are in compliance with various federal and local
regulations. These include emissions standards, fuel efficiency and safety standards. While it may cost less to produce
vehicles that perform marginally in these areas, the cost of a safety recall or government-mandated repairs are often
much higher and difficult to anticipate.
Flexibility: An elusive critical success factor for the automotive industry is the ability to be flexible. American car buyers
may change their buying habits quickly in response to factors like the state of the economy, the price of fuel and new
automotive technologies. It is essential that automakers remain attentive to these trends and keep in place a system that
can adapt quickly to create new products that meet the current and near-future needs of customers.

Companys Annual Report
Domestic demand expected to jump from $ 30 billion (2009) to $ 119 billion (2020)
Exports expected to jump from $ 3.8 billion (2009) to $ 29 billion (2020)
1.2 million people to be added to workforce
Share in Indias GDP 2.1% to 3.6%
If India has to become a true global car mfg. hub, engineering skills would have to be dramatically ramped up.
Many millions of young engineers prefer IT over the shop floor
Delphi (once a part of GM), made the instrument cluster for Tatas Nano 30% cheaper than competing products
(looking to leverage this advantage with other manufacturers as well)
Tier II and Tier III players must either grow or consolidate rapidly
Global giants like Bosch, Continental and Delphi are building, buying capacity & eyeing local firms to tap India as a market
and a low-cost manufacturing destination
Wake up call for 500 odd domestic part makers, who at times cannot handle orders larger than 50000 units.

4.4 Re-imagining the Organization with the transformed business model or Use-case based on SMAC and
IOE
In a recent interview, executives from Robert Bosch GmbH and McKinsey discussed the Internet of Everything (IoE) and its
impact on manufacturing. They described significant changes to the production process and to the management of supply
chains from this fourth industrial revolution.
The IoE allows for the interconnection of factories within and
across regions and the exposure or display of the status of
each component of each product for each customer via each
distribution method.
Sensors in machines and in
components will be able to keep universally in synch about
what has to be done, what has been done and how well it
was done.
A global decentralization of production control is now
possible. Creating this reality will require new forms of
intercompany and interdisciplinary collaboration. The buyer,
seller and distributor will all be involved in product design,
engineering, and logistics.
Today, physical flows and financial flows and information
flows are different for manufacturing. The IoE vision has
them increasingly fusing together.
