Opportunities and Threats* Key Opportunities Power Generation ¦ Although the power deficit has reduced over last few years, thrust on infrastructure will boost the genset business, driven by increasing power demand and requirement of uninterrupted power supply in the domestic market. ¦ New global products have resulted in additional export opportunities for diesel and gas business. With products from India gaining confidence in global markets, your Company is receiving repeat orders from its global customers. Off-Highway & High Horsepower ¦ Increase in government expenditure on infrastructure, road building and smart cities over the coming year is likely to help in the overall infrastructure development in the medium term. ¦ Government's push for affordable housing, sanitation, urban and rural development will have positive implications for the construction market. ¦ The railway budget indicated an investment of Rs. 12,100,000 Lacs. This increase has been assigned for commissioning 2,800 kms of railway lines as well as increase in focus on gauge conversion. This is expected to boost the demand for track maintenance machines. Additionally, the focus on increasing last mile connectivity will provide growth in the Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) segment. ¦ Increased privatization in coal mining and impetus towards higher production of coal by government would result in movement towards higher tonnage dump trucks. ¦ Fleet expansion and modernization by the Indian Navy and Coast Guard is leading to increased demand in the marine segment in Financial Year 2016-17. ¦ With Government focus on Oil & Gas providing clarity in gas pricing, the market will see an upsurge in demand in gas combrssion market. * The Members are requested to refer the Business Responsibility Report which forms part of the Annual Report for Financial Year 2015-16, as the business units of the Company have been restructured effective April 18, 2016. On-Highway ¦ The M&HCV market production (Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles - GVW >7.5 Ton) grew by 27% in Financial Year 2015-16 over Financial Year 2014-15 after two years of sharp declines. The increase was driven by GDP growth, higher replacement demands, positive market sentiments and lower interest rates. ¦ BS IV emission norms implementation has begun in a phased manner across India from October 2015 onwards, and is expected to be completed by April 2017. Your Company is ready with a range of BS IV products to cater to all the needs of current segments. ¦ The Umbrella program was launched in 2015 with a focus on enhancing customer value with our ISBe5.9 BSIV SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) engine, also incorporating the globally successful Cummins Fuel System to enhance customer satisfaction. ¦ There is focus on developing 'fit for market' solutions to meet upcoming emission regulations and market needs. Your Company is developing an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) solution to provide a simple yet lower cost solution. Distribution ¦ Your Company continues to focus on improving customer support & engagement through the formation of key account management structure and prioritizing critical customer segments. ¦ Introduction of the CRM system called Cummins Dealer Operating System (CDOS) was completed in all dealerships across India last year and underwent a technical upgrade this year to 'open user interface', which enables us to work towards improving customer support through mobile devices.

Key Threats On-Highway ¦ The M&HCV space is witnessing intense competition both from Indian and global OEMs, expanding their brsence in multiple segments. Power Generation ¦ The power deficit in India has been hovering around 1-2% levels during Financial Year 2015-16. Your Company is expecting further power deficit reduction leading to gensets being used for standby applications. This could impact service and parts revenue. Customers tend to postpone their repair work due to low utilization. ¦ In the genset business, international players are establishing their footprint in India, thus intensifying competition across segments and leveraging local manufacturing. ¦ The market has shown limited willingness to absorb price increases since the implementation of CPCB-II norms (effective July 1, 2014), resulting in price discounting in the domestic market. Distribution ¦ The power deficit in India has been hovering around 1-2% levels during Financial Year 2015-16. Reduced power deficit levels leading to increased stand-by use of diesel gensets could impact demand for after-market products & services in genset applications. 3. Product-wise Performance Power Generation ¦ Post CPCB-II implementation which led to a challenging Financial Year 2014-15 for the domestic business, your Company has been focused on sales initiatives, cost reduction projects and quality improvements which has resulted in growing market share & revenue. Off-Highway & High Horsepower ¦ Revenue in the Industrial Engine Business Unit experienced a 10% growth in Financial Year 2015-16 over Financial Year 2014-15, mainly due to the increased sales in segments such as construction, combrssor and rail. ¦ The Combrssor business grew by 33% and the Railway business grew by 23% in Financial Year 2015-16 over Financial Year 2014-15. ¦ The Construction segment grew 11% in Financial Year 2015-16 over Financial Year 2014-15, mainly due to increase in domestic orders. ¦ The Oil & Gas segment experienced growth in revenue in Financial Year 2015-16 over Financial Year 2014-15 owing to timely and effective execution of orders. ¦ Other segments, which contributed to the revenue growth, were Mining, Pumps and Defense. On-Highway ¦ Your Company is leveraging relationships with existing customers for new products in order to enable their growth in the M&HCV market. Distribution ¦ The Distribution Business grew by around 10% over last financial year. Maintaining consistent focus on growth segments of mining, railways and construction helped our spare parts business grow in spite of lower diesel generator utilization for power generation applications. The Service Solutions Business grew double digits on account of long term mining and railway AMC contracts. Cyclical demand from Railway, Mining and DBU managed OEM's helped bolster engine sales. Growth in Rebuild engines and Batteries was impacted due to muted sales from the power generation segment. Exports ¦ Your Company developed the 14 Litres engine for the Marine application which is expected to bring volumes from North American region. The new product has also brought demand from European region.

Most projects were aligned to key business initiatives such as Customer Support Excellence, Supply Chain Transformation, Profitable Growth, Business Process Improvements and Partnering with Channel partners to make them succeed. This year, the Six Sigma program was also extended to community development via execution "Community Impact Six Sigma" projects. 4. Outlook and Initiatives for the Current Year and Thereafter Power Generation ¦ While the domestic market sentiments remained stagnant last year, the domestic power generation business is likely to see volume increase in the forthcoming financial year on account of gaining market share across segments. ¦ Global markets are expected to remain soft. However, our extended product range offering will support growth in exports business. ¦ Your Company expects the power deficit to remain low leading to a shift towards standby usage pattern. With the renewed push on infrastructure & industry development your Company is optimistic about the future of the power generation business. ¦ In the long term, with greater focus on more stringent environmental norms in the future, your Company is positioned favorably as pioneers in producing engines with higher fuel-efficiency and cleaner technology. Off-Highway & High Horsepower ¦ Your Company is expected to sustain leadership in the Water Well Combrssors and Portable Combrssors segment. ¦ Coal India production is expected to grow to nearly 1 billion ton by FY 2019-20 (from 494 tons in FY 2014-15) by ramping up output and productivity.
