Regulatory environment :• In India, alcohol industry is regulated by the States and not by the Federal Govt.
• Regulatory hurdles constitute an entry barrier to the industry
• The alcohol distribution structure is 65% State government controlled
• UB Group with its premium brands, large volume base and product range has better bargaining power with the distribution network
Market Category and Consumption :• Whisky constitutes 54%, followed by Rum at 27%
• Youngsters seeking western life styles typically begin by drinking beer and move upto spirits. The brand positioning of UB Spirit Brands are designed to attract these upwardly mobile and aspirational consumers.
The Indian Alcohol Beverage Market

12 The Power of LeadershipALBV 2
Historically low profitability, but now changing as a consequence of de-regulation and industry consolidation.
Previously : - Monopoly suppliers of key inputs (glass etc.) - Multiple suppliers fighting for market share. - Monopoly customers (State Govts. / State sponsored
monopolies) - Value chain skewed to retail due to oligopolic structure. - Strict licensing meant few new outlets.
Now : - Industry consolidation leading to redefining of relative strength vis-à-vis Supplier & Customers. - Mindless trade spends being curtailed as a consequence
of consolidation. - USL leading the dialogue with Govt to increase the retail
universe. - New packaging initiatives to reduce costs and curtail
counterfeiting. - Demographics, Higher disposable income & change in
spending patterns favour growth of more profitable products.

Historically, pricing flexibility was available only in 32% of the market-
• 57% was Government monopolies• 11% was Government sponsored private cartels and;• 32% was free market
•From the industry point of view due to both pricing & credit risks, private cartels are the least desirable.•Deregulation is now starting to happen which will benefit the industry in general & USL in particular- Policy Change Benefits De-cartelization in 2001 Industry has doubled State Govt has taken over Net Realization has doubled the wholesale trade

consumer’s brand choice is largely on imagery– With multiple brands in each segment of beer, UB has
successfully positioned different brands on different platforms relevant to different consumers, different need states
– Kingfisher has appropriated some of the category values including `refreshment’
• Brand Association– With Fashion, through Kingfisher Fashion Awards and the
Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar– With high visibility events like the Mumbai Marathon, the
Delhi Half Marathon, the International Film Festival of India
– With events important to the ethos and culture of people in key regions like the Goa Carnival, the Bangalore Habba

International Strategy
International traffic expected to grow between 18-20% per annum.Current Government policy requiring 5 years of domestic operations prior to flying overseas likely to be reduced.
As a contingency plan KFA has worked out “damp” lease arrangements with foreign carriers to operate KFA aircraft on international sectors.India – US – India nonstop flights present the most unique opportunity and reduced competition. KFA will concentrate mainly on this opportunity and has ordered specific aircraft types to undertake this mission.
KFA will commence nonstop flights with the Airbus A340 -500 between Bangalore and San Francisco and Bombay and New York in Q1 2008.KFA will commence nonstop flights with the Airbus A330 - 200 between Bombay and London and Bombay and Hong Kong in Q1 2008.All KFA aircraft will be configured in a 3 class layout, offering Super First Class, Ultra Business class and Kingfisher class.

Financing arrangements
The leading edge service model conceived and conceptualized for Kingfisher would incur substantial start up cost before break even. UB Group has already invested
~ $ 100 Mio and would fund fully the start up costs including the operating losses
Pr-delivery payments - The Indian banks are quite keen to participate in the booming airline industry and we have successfully syndicated this requirement thru UB Group’s consortium of banks to the tune of $ 202 Mio.
Upon delivery of aircrafts, the options available are -
- Sale and lease back (presently -11 aircrafts), - Commercial credit from international bank or (presently- 1 aircraft), - Banking finance backed by guarantee from the
European export credit agencies (presently - 4 aircrafts)
KFA 13
Funding Plan
• KFA intends to access the primary market in 2
years time.
• Meanwhile for the interim, in-principle
approval for back-stop funds has been received
from a large Indian bank, which will take care of
all incidental requirements for the next 2 years.
