• Amtek Auto clarifies on news item

The company clarified that American auto component giant Visteon`s investment

bankers has not approached the company for the sale of its plants and businesses.

The announcement was made with reference to a news item appearing in a leading

financial daily titled, `` Ford Parts Supplier looks for India Buyer`` which stated that

American auto component giant Visteon`s investment bankers have approached Delhi

based auto parts major Amtek Auto for the sale of its plants and businesses.

• Merger of Amtek Auto and subsidiaries

The company has delayed its planned merger of five group firms into itself. The merger

is now proposed to happen by the end of this year or January 2010.

The company had planned to merger Amtek India, Ahmednagar Forgings, Amtek Ring

Gears, Amtek Crankshafts and Amtek Castings India with itself.

• Amtek, Sumitomo Metal form JV for forged crankshafts

The company & Sumitomo Metal Industries (Sumitomo Metals) of Japan have signed a

joint venture (JV) agreement for production and sale of forged crank shafts for

automotive applications in India.

This JV is to be formed with investment of 50% by Amtek, 40% by Sumitomo Metals, and

10% by Sumitommo Corporation. Sumitomo Corporation is the global partner of

crankshaft business of Sumitomo Metals.

This is in line with Amtek`s strategy of augmenting its product portfolio. The company

will contribute to this JV, its existing local market and manufacturing know-how and

experience. Sumitomo Metals, on the other hand will bring in its world-class crankshaft

forging technology.

This JV will be another milestone for the Amtek Group and step forward in the direction

of consolidating its customer and product portfolio as well as attaining world-class

technological edge in automotive manufacturing. This also makes Amtek a full serviced

supplier of crankshafts for automotive applications as Amtek has already created market

leader position for itself in the field of fully machined crankshafts in India. This JV also

provides to Sumitomo Metals entry into the high growth crankshaft market of India.

This is based on Sumitomo Metals` corporate strategy to `add strength to strong areas.

`With this entry to India, Sumitomo Metals will have a global `tetra polar` production

system (Japan, US, China and India)

Page 7: Amtek Auto Ltd

The automobile industry faces unprecedented difficulties, but the Indian automobile

market has been growing rapidly in recent years and local demand for forged

crankshafts is expected to surge significantly in the medium to long term.

Amtek Auto group is learnt to be in advanced talks to acquire OCL Iron and Steel (OISL)

controlled by Raghu Hari Dalmia. The transaction would value the company at around Rs

Product Design

The Group has a Design and Development facility that fully supports to the customer

requirements. The facility offers design activity using 3D modeling, detailed FE analysis,

NVH Refinement and Kinematic analysis.

Latest Design Soft wares such as CATIA, C3P I-Deas, Unigraphics and Pro Engineer are

used. Data Exchange is done through Metaphase, FTP, ENOAT/ODETTE as well as

Internet, DAT tape etc.

Design engineers can work from customer’s premises, from company modern design

coordination centre at Letchworth, UK and from their well-equipped design centre in

India.

A key feature of the design process is the use of advanced CAE techniques such as

structural optimization of component topology and topography to meet customer-

defined targets for stiffness, strength, mass, NVH and fatigue performance. Linear and

non-linear analysis is undertaken as required to prove design integrity under all

conditions prior to first physical prototypes, thus reducing time between initial concept

and production readiness

Lean Six Sigma

Amtek is in the process of implementing Lean and Six Sigma. Six Sigma is a process of

reducing variation using a DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control)

methodology. Lean Manufacturing seeks to identify and eliminate the source of waste

that exists within a process.

Lean & Six sigma will be followed in all the plants of Amtek. Each region & plant will

have a formalized & standardized infrastructure. This will include programme metrics,

project metrics & plant maturity metrics. Training will be provided for different people

at different levels based upon the needs of the organization. They have Champions, full

time Black Belts, Green Belts and we will have Master Black Belts. They have been

trained on Lean/Six Sigma and once trained these people can impart training down the

line. This role will help shape the Lean Six Sigma Strategy & Development within Amtek.

It will become a part of the Amtek Human Resource policy. Each business will

communicate the principles and progress of the Lean and Six-Sigma programme

throughout the business using the agreed communication tools to share, inform and

educate.

Industry Overview

The Indian auto component industry is one of India's sunrise industries with tremendous

growth prospects. From a low-key supplier providing components to the domestic market

alone, the industry has emerged as one of the key auto components centers in Asia and is today

seen as a significant player in the global automotive supply chain. India is now a supplier of a

range of high-value and critical automobile components to global auto makers such as General

Motors, Toyota, Ford and Volkswagen amongst others.

As per an Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) report, the

turnover of the auto component industry was estimated at over US$ 18 billion in 2007-08, an

increase of 27.2 per cent since 2002. It is likely to touch US$ 40 billion by 2015-16. Aided by a 7

per cent growth in the OEM segment and an 8.5 per cent rise in exports and after-market

segment, it is expected that auto ancillary production would grow by 8.2 per cent in 2009-10,

according to a report by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).

Investments in the auto component industry were estimated at US$ 7.2 billion in 2007-08 and

are likely to touch US$ 20.9 billion by 2015-16.

Exports of auto components grew at the rate of 35 per cent during 2002-07 and touched US$

3.6 billion in 2007-08. It is estimated to reach around US$ 20 billion-US$ 22 billion by 2015-16.

During April-January 2008-09, exports grew by 27.3 per cent to US$ 2.12 million. A majority of

Indian exports are sent to Europe and North America.

Page 19: Amtek Auto Ltd

Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd 19

Though global recession had affected the Indian auto components industry, it is now slowly

coming back on track. The auto components industry in Kanpur saw a three-fold increase in

orders during January to March 2009.

Destination India

According to the Investment Commission of India, global automobile manufacturers see India

as a manufacturing hub for auto components and are rapidly increasing the value of

components they source from India due to:

• India's cost competitiveness in terms of labour and raw material.

• Its established manufacturing base.

Makers of luxury cars are increasingly looking at making India a sourcing hub for components,

besides using more local components in cars for the Indian market. BMW is likely to sign the

first direct sourcing deal with local vendors by the end of this year. Skoda Auto India is looking

at increasing localization for its small car Fabia to over 50 per cent over the next two years.

Mercedes Benz India expects growth in sourcing from India to continue at 10 per cent.

Foreign Investments

India enjoys a cost advantage with respect to casting and forging as manufacturing costs in

India are 25 to 30 per cent lower than their western counterparts. Seeing the growing

popularity of India in the automotive component sector, the Investment Commission has set a

target of attracting foreign investment worth US$ 5 billion for the next seven years to increase

India's share in the global auto components market from the existing 0.9 per cent to 2.5 per

cent by 2015.

• French tyre major, Michelin, has gained clearance from the Foreign Investment

Promotion Board (FIPB) for its US$ 2.26 billion foreign direct investment (FDI) proposal

to set up a manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu.

• Bosch will continue to maintain its India focus in spite of global recession. This is

reflected in the company’s latest commitment of US$ 26.76 million to set up

manufacturing units for electronic control units (ECU).

• Swiss auto clamps maker, Oeitker Group, has inaugurated the first phase of its

manufacturing facility in India. It has invested US$ 12.58 million in Phase I and hopes to

start work on the second phase by the end of next year.

Page 20: Amtek Auto Ltd

Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd 20

Domestic Investments

The market is so large and diverse that a large number of players can be absorbed to

accommodate buyer needs. The sector not only has global players looking to invest and expand

but leading domestic component companies are also pumping in huge sums into expanding

operations. An auto park is coming up near Hyderabad with investments worth over US$ 409.30

million from around 34 automotive ancillary units. This is in addition to a US$ 245.59 million

Greenfield project being set up by MLR Motors near the park.

Moreover, Indian tyremakers are rolling out investment plans worth US$ 1.24 billion, due to the

rising popularity of radial tyres in the commercial vehicles segment.

Some other investments include:

• Hero Motors will invest US$ 19.84 million in association with Austrian firm BRP

Looking Ahead

With investments around US$ 15 billion slated for the sector over the next few years, the

prospects for India's auto market are bright.

Even though India's auto component industry has conventionally relied on exports for its

profits, the domestic market itself is ripe with rapidly growing opportunities. Industry experts

are hopeful that the country will be able to offset China and other Southeast Asian countries'

traditional manufacturing advantage in the coming years, facilitating the industry's

achievement of its targeted market value of US$ 40 billion by 2014.
