CONSTRAINTS:Liquidity position,Tightening of liquidity position would have an
adverse impact on the Industry. Hardening of interest rates and other inflationary trends.
Due to overall recession in the industry, there has been increase in nterest rates and
inflation in the economy which caused adverse impact on the industry and in turn
company's revenue and profits.Prices of commodity items like steel, non-ferrous and
precious metals .Witnessed unprecedented increases in short period last year, which
could only be partially offset by the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. Whilst the
Company continues to pursue cost reduction initiatives, increase in price of input
materials, could have a negative impact on the demand in the domestic market and/or
7
could severely impact the Company's Profitability to the extent that these cost
sescalations are not absorbed by the market through price realization.The Company has
large foreign currency borrowing in the form of foreign Currency convertible securities.
Movements in exchange rates and volatility in the foreign exchange markets could
significantly impact profits.
Manufacturing:The Company manufactures its products at multiple location and its
Operations could be affected by disruption in its supply chain due to any Natural
calamities and work stoppages at its suppliers end due to load Shedding, labor problems,
etc.
SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCEThe company deals in only one segment i.e.
Automotive components. Therefore, it is not possible to give segment wise performance.
FURTURE OUTLOOK:Gradually, the automotive industry is showing signs of revival
in domestic Market which leads to improvement in the automotive components industry.
As far as export demand is concerned, the Indian automotive components Industry
has strong potential to increase exports due to optimal cost, Adherence to quality
controls, World class Research and Development Facilities, availability of skilled
manpower, latest technology and high Quality vehicular testing. In the light of the above,
we believe that the Total value of export of auto component is expected to reach US$ 20-
25 Billion. Considering the scenario, it is expected that by 2016, automotive sector
canDOUBLE its percentage contribution to GDP from current levels of 5% (US $ 50
billion) to 10% ($180 billion) which could result in India Becoming World's third largest
automobile market in 2030.

component assembly & systems suppliers who have multi-national operations are likely
to focus on outsourcing rather than manufacturing in Europe and the Americas due to
constant cost reduction pressures from their customers. The domestic automobile industry
has had a good run in the last year which, as per the industry experts, is likely to continue
for some time. The development of road networks and national highways has infused a
new lease of life to the commercial vehicle manufacturing industry in India with the last
year recording a year on year growth of 43.20 % for the M&HCV category and an overall
growth of 34.60 %. The passenger car industry has also seen a handsome growth during
the last year in view of an ever increasing market demand fuelled by the increase in the
disposable income of the middle-class of India. The two-wheeler industry, which has
considerable volumes in India, is on the verge of another boom. The growth rate of
motorcycles over the last few years has also fuelled the overall growth of the industry.
This translates into direct benefits to the local automotive component industry.Amtek
Auto Limited is a leading manufacturer of automotive components and assemblies
serving the global automotive industry as an Original Equipment supplier. The company
has created an indelible mark on the Indian Automotive Industry and is set to consolidate
its position in the global automotive scene.
