During FY 2017-18, the total capex was Rs.133 Crores in different units of the Company.

India is now the world biggest two wheeler market and still growing with a fast pace. This industry size throws a big growth opportunities for the players like us. Hence, Company is also working on expanding its product line by way of technical collaborations and joint ventures with Japanese Companies. Upcoming BS-VI norms, the implementation of which is due from April, 2020, provide huge opportunities for advance products for emission norms and safety of the vehicles.

State of the Company''s affairs / Business Review

During the year, Company achieved a good growth in automotive business segment despite severe impact of demonetization on overall economy. Net sales in automotive business grew by 11%. However, performance of LED business was not good during the year and net revenue of LED Luminaries segment came down to Rs. 57.93 crores in FY 201617 as compared to Rs. 119.17 crores in FY 2015-16. Further, the Company has supplied over 1,18,000 LED Street Light to EESL for SDMC project in Delhi under SITC contract with comprehensive maintenance for 7 years. After commissioning, the comprehensive maintenance is discontinued by EESL and a net amount of Rs. 14.19 crores has been written-off as being non-recoverable from EESL (net of reversal of earlier provision of Rs. 5.28 crores). This exceptional item has proved a dampener in the profitability of the Company. Further, some orders of LED Bulbs have been short closed by EESL, due to steep price fall and other reasons. One order of PVVNL, Meerut for LED Bulbs has also been short closed. These all things coupled with demonetization has adversely impacted the LED business.

During the year, demonetization has adversely impacted overall business in the country in 3rd and 4th Quarter. Liquidity crunch was prevalent and automotive business was not an exception. Sales at dealers end were not happening. Therefore, OEMs cut down production drastically and our supplies to our major OEMs affected adversely during this period.

However, management believes that these are short term obstacles and in long term, LED provides a huge opportunity in the country as well as for export opportunities. In India, LED adoption is still in the initial phases and it will take some time to settle the volatility in the market. At the automotive front, the outlook is promising and the impact of demonetization is behind us. New regulations of BS-IV and AHO are positive for the industry as well as for the Company. LED is being adopted very fast in the automotive lighting applications. This is very positive development for the Company as Company is frontrunner in the development of LED Head lamps based on its in-house R&D capabilities.

Keeping in view the growth prospective and to meet the capex requirements, Company augmented the financial resources and raised Rs. 120 cores through Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) in September, 2016. Out of which Rs. 36.14 crores have been utilized towards cost of issue and capital expansion, the balance of Rs. 83.86 crores have been temporarily invested in mutual funds/ fixed deposits.

During FY 2016-17, Rs. 21 crores has been invested in newly set-up Unit of the Company in Gujarat. Total Investment as on March 31, 2017 for Gujarat unit was Rs 75 crores. Investment in Tapukara Plant (Rajasthan) in LED Lighting products facilities during FY 2016-17 was Rs. 23 crores. During the Financial year, the total capex was Rs. 110 crores in different units of the Company.

During the year, we have signed a "Technology License and Assistance Agreement" (TAA) with Aisan Industry Co., Ltd., Japan and Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Japan for manufacturing of ''Canister'' in India. ''Canister'' is an Emission Control System Product. Under the TAA, the ''Canister'' is manufactured by Fiem Industries Ltd. with the technical support of Aisan Industry Co., Ltd. for two-wheelers and three-wheelers in Indian market.

BRIEF REVIEW

The economic scenario in F.Y. 2012-13 continued to be fraught with challenges amid slower growth and uncertainties. Operating in such difficult and testing environment is not less than a challenge.

In Passenger Vehicle segments, passenger cars are testing worse times with a negative growth of 4.26% on production and negative growth of 6.69% in domestic sales. However, overall Passenger Vehicle segment has shown positive growth of 2.78% in production and 2.15% in domestic sales, registering an overall growth of 3.27% in total sales including exports, mainly because of robust demand of Utility Vehicles (UVs).

In two-wheeler segment the growth in production has remained slightly less then 2% and in domestic sales, slightly less then 3%. However, the production and sales growth in motorcycles has remained flat with less then 1% variation. In all these slow growth time even for two wheeler segment, the clear winner is scooter class, which has registered a production growth of 13.75% with 14.24% growth in domestic sales. As two-wheeler segment constitute a major part in overall business of your Company and in that too, your company is leader in scooters, hence this has remained a contributory factor in growth of Automotive Lighting and Mirrors business of your company.

BRIEF REVIEW OF F.Y. 2010-11

Once again your company has notched up a remarkable performance and surged ahead in its journey of growth. During FY 2010-11, the company has registered a growth of 41.84% by achieving a Net Turnover of Rs. 417.29 Crores in comparison to Rs. 294.18 Crores in FY 2009-10. The growth of the Company is also because of rebound of the Indian economy, which has grown by 8.5% in FY 2010-11, 2nd highest in the world after China. The rebound in the economy has well reflected by the Automobile Industry, which has registered a 27% overall vehicle production growth, 26% growth in domestic sales and 30% growth in exports.

The company has improved marginally in the profits from Rs. 1075 lacs in 2009-10 to Rs. 1143 lacs in 2010-11 registering a growth of 6.30%. Though the net sales has increased substantially by 41.84%, the profitability of the Company has been adversely affected mainly due to loss on settlement of currency forward contracts during the year under review.

Management firmly believes that best of the opportunities yet to come and to tap these growth opportunities capacity building is must. In this direction, management wishes to inform that the 8th Unit of the Company, which is established in Tapukara, Rajasthan at 10.5 acre of plot has started commercial production in March, 2011. The Rai Unit (Unit-7) of the Company, which now also houses the Corporate Office, is one of the best manufacturing facilities in the industry and equipped with ultra modern facilities with state of the art technology and in-house R&D Centre.
