.Efforts in brief made towards technology absorption, adaptation and innovation Design of components and systems including design review process.
Component and sub component level localisation, development and testing of parts for
existing and new models
Capabilities enhanced in component and vehicle evaluation, benchmarking and design
optimisation
Capabilities being further enhanced in area of alternative fuels.
Value Engineering (VE) at the time of new model
Design to maximise cost benefit
Capability enhanced in the development of new
Technologies at affordable prices.
Benefits derived as a result of the above efforts
The Company was able to achieve high level of localisation in all the models resulting in reduction of
cost. The Company was also able to offer new technologies benefiting its customers. The Company
has also worked significantly in the areas of fuel efficiency and weight reduction
Technology inducted
The Company has been a pioneer in offering latest technologies at affordable prices to its customers.
As a market leader, the Company intends to keep this momentum in future. Some of the steps taken
in this direction are as under:
The all new powerful and light weight K14 engine was introduced in Ertiga. The engine is an
extension of the successful K-series line-up.
New Swift and Swift DZire were made equipped with detent pin technology for improving
the shift comfort. This has helped in enhancing the customer satisfaction
New Swift, Swift DZire and Ertiga were made equipped with new generation Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) which is the smallest and lightest system in the Companys line-up.
New technology Engine Drag Control (EDC) was introduced which proves the technological
superiority of the Companys vehicles.The EDC prevents locking of driving wheels due to

engine braking, thereby ensuring the drivability and steerability while braking in slippery
conditions
New Swift and DZire were made equipped with the latest 3rd generation wheel bearing
units. It brings a reduction of over 20 per cent in weight over first generation unit with
additional advantages of controlled pre-loading, enhanced rigidity and improved bearing
performance Fuel efficiency of the vehicles being the prime focus, Variable Value Timing (VVT) was
introduced in gasoline versions of new Swift, new DZire and Ertiga to improve the fuel
efficiency and performance. Other measures like valve train friction reduction in K12 and
K14 engines and introduction of low viscosity engine oils in diesel engines have been taken
to improve the fuel efficiency.
The Company has always been the forerunner in implementing new environment friendly
measures. New Swift and Swift DZire are compliant with On Board Diagonosis (OBD) -II
Regulations and thus are much ahead of the requisite time of implementation of these
regulations i.e. April 2013.

Board of directors
In keeping with the commitment of the management for the principle of integrity and
transparency in business operations for good corporate governance, the Companys policy is to
have an appropriate blend of executive and independent directors to maintain the
independence of the Board, and to separate the Board functions of governance andmanagement.
Composition
As on 31 March 2012, the Board of Bajaj Auto consisted of sixteen directors, of whom four
directors were executive. Nine out of twelve non-executive directors were independent.
The Board has no institutional nominee directors.
According to clause 49, if the chairman is executive or a promoter, at least one half of the Board
should consist of non-executive, independent directors. As Table 1 below shows, this provision
is met at Bajaj Auto.
Non-executive directors compensation
The Board of Directors at its meeting held on 26 March 2011 had partially revised the directors
remuneration policy with effect from 1 April 2011 and accordingly non-executive directors of
the Company with effect from 1 April 2011 are being paid, in addition to the sitting fee of `
20,000 per meeting for every meeting of the Board and its committees, commission at the rate
of ` 100,000 per meeting of the Board and its committees attended by them, subject to the
overall ceiling of one percent of net profits. In terms of the said approvals given by the Board of
Directors and shareholders, one independent director viz. Nanoo Pamnani will be paid `
1,000,000 as commission for the year 2011-12 in consideration of the services rendered by him
during the year 2011-12 at the request of the management.The company did not have a stock option programme for the non-executive directors during the
year under review.
Board procedures
During 2011-12, the Board of Directors met six times: on 18 May 2011, 14 July 2011,
16 September 2011, 20 October 2011, 19 January 2012 and 27 March 2012. The gap

Pecuniary relationship or transactions of non-executive directors
1. J N Godrej is a director and shareholder of Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited,
which is a vendor to Bajaj Auto. Purchases of goods from this company have been in the
ordinary course of business and, for the year ended 31 March 2012, amounted to ` 4.42 crore.

Musafir Agency Limited, which has been in the ordinary course of business, amounted to 15.67

companies. The register is signed by all the directors present at the respective
Board meetings.
5. A statement showing the disclosure of transactions with related parties as required under
Accounting Standard 18 is set out separately in this Annual Report.
Criteria of making payments to non-executive directors
Non-executive directors of the Company play a crucial role in the independent functioning of the
Board. They bring in an external perspective to decision-making, and provide leadership and
strategic guidance while maintaining objective judgment. They also oversee corporate
governance framework of the Company.
Non-executive directors
Non-executive directors are paid sitting fees and commission on net profits as separately stated
in this report.

Executive directors
Executive directors are entitled to superannuation benefits payable in the form of an annuity
from the Life Insurance Corporation of India which forms part of the perquisites allowed to
them. No pension is paid by the Company.
The company has no stock option plans for the directors and hence, it does not form a part of
the remuneration package payable to any executive and/or non-executive director. During the
year under review, none of the directors was paid any performance-linked incentive.
In 2011-12, the Company did not advance any loans to any of the executive and/or non-
executive directors.
Table below gives details of the remuneration paid or payable to directors during 2011-12.
The total remuneration calculated for the above comes out to be Rs. 31,75,60,034.
The Profit After Tax mentioned in the report is Rs. 3004.05 Crore, hence the 11% of the same
comes out to be Rs. 330,44,55,000.
-
7/28/2019 LAB Report Group 1
25/27
PAT Rs. 30040500000
11% of PAT Rs. 3304455000
Total Remuneration Rs. 317560034
Total Remuneration < 11% of Annual Profit
Hence, the total remuneration is less than 11% of the total profit for the same financial year and
the company follows the law.
NOTE: The total remuneration is calculated based only for the remunerations of Directors, as
the company nowhere mentions the remunerations for its managers.

Members of the Company had approved payment of remuneration by way of commission to
non-executive directors at a sum not exceeding 1 per cent of the net
profits of the Company subject to a ceiling of `10 million per annum. As approval was valid for a
period of five years, a fresh proposal is being put up before the members for their approval in
the forthcoming annual general meeting.

committee meetings, time devoted, current trends prevailing in the industry, etc.

meetings.
