Dear Shareholder,

Last year saw our international consultant’s report being submitted and broadlyaccepted by the Management of the Company. This acceptance mandates, amongother things, significant organizational changes and H.R. growth, introduction of newproducts and concentration on linking manufacturing to sales and design in a waywhich will prepare us well for the succeeding decade.

We must operate our business in the context of some significant events in the worldwhich also impact us in our societies. Some of these events are that much of theworld, including India, remains mired in poverty; the estimated future prices of fossilfuels for energy are going to be so high that the way we live will be comprehensivelyaltered, bringing a host of new opportunities which will change our lives in presentlyunknown ways. Many forces including the impact of rapid industrialization ofdeveloping countries, is causing the world’s natural ecological balance to shift withcompletely unpredictable consequences.

Therefore we must commit to run our business to fit into the particular scenarios ofhow life and business will be in the future.

Accordingly, all of our products must provide a healthful, cheerful and sustainableway of life. This requires significant application of mind and then great courage tostay the course. It is in this way that we can help make a better life for many. This is theset of values we must live by. All of our products must necessarily get Energy Starratings so that the customer may know that we, with them, are active subscribersand participants in programmes to conserve energy. The consequential initial higherprice to the consumer will give a long term return to the society, and thereforethemselves. We must propagate that reducing each person’s carbon foot printthrough lower energy consumption will make for a better life for all of us. Thereforewe must look for materials that are recyclable, most convenient to be accessed, easyto use, so that our customers may say that they are participating in the world campaignfor lower energy consumption and reducing global warming.

We cannot do this alone. While we will of course use many design firms and R&Destablishments, including our own, we must enlist the assistance of all stakeholderssuch as our customers/ shareholders/employees/dealers. They can and must tell usand give us ideas how we may proceed on our mission. We live in this world togetherand therefore must be partners in making a better life for all of us.

The previously announced merger of Usha International Limited into The JayEngineering Works Ltd is now complete; we have changed the name of the mergedentity (i.e. The Jay Engineering Works Ltd) into Usha International Ltd to better expressour brand. Thus now, for the first time, Usha International is a composite of our ownmanufacturing, our own selling and distribution, our own brands and our own sourcingand distributing. Now that this is achieved there are many plans to improve ourbusiness over the next 3-4 years.

We are exploring new businesses that we may enter into including the establishmentof additional brands and distribution of other brands and products through oursuperior distribution system. You will see evidence of this in the coming months.

We have targeted that UIL will grow at a rapid but measured pace. For this howeverthere has to be a complete overhaul and re-envisioning of our human resourcesstructures. Consequently a comprehensive overhaul of all policies are beingundertaken and streamlining and modernizing a bottom-up top-down approach toevolving an H R Vision is under way. We believe that this will significantly enhancethe attractiveness of our Company for encouraging bright new talent to join us andfor retaining existing skills. We have already embarked on expansion of top andsenior management at different levels to fill out our growing needs, investingsignificantly higher amounts on executive education at all levels and involving eachemployee in representing the Company and our corporate brand to the externalworld.

9. Management Discussions and Analysis Report

A. Product Categories

� Fans

Production of fans by the organised sector in India crossed the 20 million mark during2007-08, a growth of 18% over the previous year. Usha retained the No. 2 position in theorganised sector and grew volumes by 12.5% during the year.

In the financial year 2007-08, Usha International, responding to the growth in demandfrom the construction sector, reinforced its distribution across the country with over 600redistributors and direct dealers added to the sales network. Deeper penetration in themarket has been achieved due to an increased presence in small towns. The Company hasa dedicated team promoting the brand in large format retail outlets in urban and semi-urban commercial centres.

Last year 20 new models with distinctive styles and features had been introduced in themarket. Presently, the brand offers the widest portfolio of products across categories inthe fan industry.

Segmentation has played an important role in defining the marketing strategy. Ushaentered the air circulator segment, a niche that has evolved owing to the rapidindustrialisation taking place in the country. Similarly, in the lifestyle segment, the Companyhas bolstered the existing portfolio by adding four new decorative models in the ceilingfan category.

The industry is expected to achieve good growth in the coming years. The pace of growthhowever will witness a decline as it will be impacted by macro trends in the Indianeconomy with real estate adversely affected and increasing interest rates reducingdisposable incomes.

� Sewing Machines

During the past year Usha International sold 500,000 straight stitch sewing machines.Usha is the market leader in this segment with a market share of 75% of the organisedsector

For Usha, the automatic zig-zag sewing machine segment is growing rapidly with agrowth of 21% over last year. The Company has recently introduced a new model ‘ALLURE’from it’s long time partner Janome of Japan, in the automatic zig-zag category at anattractive price point, which should boost sales even further. Plans are being developed toextend the distribution reach of the automatic zigzag sewing machines to smaller townsacross India.

Usha has introduced a range of automatic computerised embroidery machines targetedat boutique owners and job workers. In 2007-08, the MC-200E from Janome was launchedin the Memory Craft series.

In addition to this, seven new sewing machine models were introduced in the high-speedindustrial category.

Sales and service standards have been upped to further establish the brand within theseveral sewing and embroidery machine segments. Product training, including servicetraining by qualified engineers from Janome of Japan has been organised for sales staffduring the past year. Apart from increasing promotional efforts through exhibitions,improved logistics and service support has given a boost to sales

The Company has an established presence of 1,500 dealers spread up to small towns.Focussed initiatives in the past year have resulted in expanding the customer base.

In the coming year, plans have been firmed up to enhance initiatives both in the zig-zagand highspeed industrial segments. The high-speed industrial machine range as well asits marketing network is being expanded to offer more options to target garment exporters.For the zig zag range, hobby centres are being opened to serve as interactive touch-points with customers.

� Sewing Schools

The Usha sewing and design school network has grown to a strength of 325 with a viewto doubling this number in the next two years. The curriculum has been revamped andimplemented. These schools now offer a viable vocational option and are professionallymanaged.

� Home Appliances

During 2007-08, the industry grew at 18%. Growth of the organised sector was morerobust at 24%-25%. The industry is highly fragmented, which indicates opportunities inthe distant future.

Usha’s presence in the home appliances market is extensive. In the financial year 2007-08,the Appliances division registered a topline growth of 19% over the previous year. Factorsinducing growth were better visibility by way of promotions, a wider distribution network,and an expanded product range.

Mixer-grinder is an important product category and its contribution in the Company’sappliances portfolio has been considerable. In the past year, Usha introduced:

� A new Mixer-Grinder model catering to the economy segment.

� A new Room Cooler model featuring an all-new design with a larger tank capacity.

� New products in categories including juicer-mixer-grinders, steam irons, toasters,halogen heaters and instant water heaters.

Brand visibility is being built up through the introduction of Usha Lexus home appliancesacross a number of large format retail chains. The dealer network has been strengthenedboth in terms of numbers and through service and training inputs.

Plans for the coming year include new model introductions in key categories, as well asthe development of niche segments. The strategy includes aggressive pricing, introductionof economy models and an expansion of the distribution network.

� Engines and Pumpsets

Market conditions in this product category were depressed during 2007-08 owing to thesteep hike in the cost of pig iron, steel and other inputs. Aggregate sales includingimports of small horsepower diesel engines stood at 500,000 units for the year for theorganised sector industry. Slow-speed and standard segments witnessed a decline, whilethe light-weight and imported engine segments saw a growth in sales.

Despite the adverse conditions, Usha achieved 20% growth in the sales of engines andpumpsets over the previous year, improving its position in the imported, light-weightand standard segments. Usha is now the largest selling small engines based pumpsetbrand across the country.

Recent product introductions by the Company are in keeping with changing customerpreferences. The newly introduced light-weight engines and the Honda-powered kerosenepumpsets have contributed substantially to Usha’s growth in the category. In the agro-industrial segment, sales of aircooled engines picked up owing to various governmentschemes.

Marketing activities proposed for the coming season include dealer network upgradationand extension of service facilities in the rural markets. The Company proposes to introduceimported engines for applications other than for pumpsets.

� Electrical Motors and Pumps

While the industry grew at around 7% during the financial year 2007-08, the Companyregistered a growth of 30% in this category.

The submersible pumpset range launched two years back has clocked the fastest rate ofgrowth within the category at 49%. Designed to operate under low voltage conditions,the Usha range is competitively priced. In addition, sales in the mini- monoblock segmentgrew by 20%.

The Company has launched a full range of compressor pumps in the Eastern India. Theseare specially suited to the high depth water table conditions prevalent in the region.

Also introduced during 2007-08 is a sleek new 0.5 HP Mini Monobloc model in the economysegment.

The submersible pumps segment is a high growth area, and the Company plans to focuson dealer network upgradation during the coming year to improve its sales anddistribution platform. New introductions are also scheduled in the Electric Monobloc,Mini Monobloc and slow-speed Mini Monobloc categories.

� Water Coolers & Dispensers

The refrigeration business consists of two product categories – water coolers and waterdispensers. The market for the former product line has been sluggish at 7% growth forthe past couple of years. Water dispensers, on the other hand, have demonstrated goodindustry growth, at around 30%.

In the financial year 2007-08, sales of Usha water coolers grew by about 7%, whichparallels the industry trend. Business for Usha water dispensers has grown by 43% overthe previous year.

Quality was enhanced through the introduction of PUF-injected insulation of water coolertanks in the last year. The Company shored up its service and distribution through a focuson network expansion, dealer productivity and training inputs during the year.

For the coming year, the Company has chalked out a sales plan targeting growth rates of25% and 75% in the water cooler and dispenser categories respectively. The Company isexpected to tap the potential of the export market as well in this product category.

� Auto components

Following the tie-up for the marketing and distribution of the NGK brand spark plugs,Usha’s auto component division has moved forward. The distribution network has beenrevamped and extended across the country.

Aggressive promotions through display stalls and van campaigns elicited good customerpull.

Emphasis has been on field level marketing in tier II and III towns, where the growth indemand has been the strongest.

B. ExportsExports for the Company comprise of four product categories:

� Electric fans : Exports in this category grew by 5%.

� Chemicals : Export of chemicals by the Company has declined owing to better realizationsin the domestic market.

� Diesel engines : The Company increased exports of diesel engines by 10%.

� Auto Components : Export of fuel injection equipment and auto components increasedby 12% during 2007-08.

Strengthening of the rupee and the rise in input costs has had an adverse impact on growingthe export business. The resultant increase in selling prices has affected sales across allcategories.

Participation in trade fairs has helped grow the brand in international markets. There hasbeen a favourable growth in the export of electric fans, and the Company maintains itsposition as the No.2 exporter of fans from the country. Overall exports by the Company aretargeted to grow by 25% during the coming year.

Marketleadership for Usha fans has been clearly established across all large format stores, and thebrand has over 50% market share in the three top chains.

Recruitment of dedicated sales teams and close interaction with major retail chains hasserved to establish the brand in this area. Store-level promotions and deployment of theappropriate product mix is regularly reviewed. A monthly training calendar has been chalkedup, both for the Company’s sales team and for channel promoters. New products have beendeveloped specifically for this channel. Products introduced last year include water dispensersand automatic zig-zag sewing machines.

L. Swot Analysis for the Company

STRENGTHS

1. Strong distribution network : Usha International Ltd. has a strong distribution network,with a presence across all metros, class I and II towns, as well as potential class III, IV andV towns. Apart from the trade segment, UIL has a good presence in modern retail, CSDand channels selling to institutions. Separate sales teams handle each of these segmentsand distribution upgradation is one of their Key Result Areas.

2. Strong brand : Usha has a high brand recall in most of its product categories. Thebrand is associated with quality, trust and reliability.

WEAKNESSES

1. As we are targeting aggressive growth, we will be short on highly skilled HR resourcesacross the board in the near future.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. Multi-brand Marketing : With a strong distribution base, SAP, systems, infrastructureand good knowledge of the consumer durable industry, Usha International is in astrong position to enter the Multi-brand distribution and marketing business forbrands that might want to enter the Indian market.

2. Good macro economic performance : A GDP growth rate of 8% - 9% and rising incomelevels are expected to result in greater demand for consumer durables despite temporaryproblems.

3. Potential for home appliances : The present level of penetration of home appliances inIndia is very low. As incomes rise and the standard of living goes up, this category hasa good potential for growth.

4. Potential of reaching rural India : Given the Company’s extensive product range, andgiven good income generation in rural areas, the Company is in a strong position tocapture emerging demand from small towns and rural areas for new and innovativeproducts.

5. Favourable government policies : The government’s emphasis on rural developmentand support for under-privileged sections of society provides good opportunities forpromoting the sale of products like pump sets and sewing machines.

THREATS

1. Threat to the straight stitch sewing machine business : Due to a steep increase in pigiron, steel and other raw material rates, product prices have had to be increased bynearly 20% in the last one year. The price increase could be even higher this year. Thiswill adversely affect demand and growth.

2. Competition from Small Scale Sector players : In most product categories, there isintense competition from the large small-scale industry. This restricts the Company’smargins.

SHRIRAM FUEL INJECTION INDUSTRIES

Page 25: Annual_Reports

2 3

3. Talent Acquisition and retention : Attracting and retaining talent is a potential threatfor future growth.

4. Impact of macro factors on exports : Government policies with respect to exportincentives and exchange rates will have an adverse effect on the Company’s exports,which accounts for 9% of the turnover.

5. Low price imports from China and elsewhere : The low price of imports from China andelse where is a threat to the Company. The government’s policies on regional and freetrade agreements could result in opening the door to more imports at far lower prices,resulting in unequal competition.

6. Inflation and feel good factor : In the short run, consumer durable sales get affected bythe ‘feel good’ factor. The present inflation and other economic indicators are notfavourable for consumer durable sale.

7. Chinese and other foreign companies entering India as stand alone companies.
