INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Forging industry:

Forging is about shaping metal blocks into desired shapes by applying compressive forces. This technique enhances the

mechanical properties of the block giving it significant additional strength. Hence, forging is generally preferred over

other metal shaping techniques.

The Indian forging industry is recognized globally for its technical capabilities. With an installed capacity of around 37.7

lakh TPA, the Indian forging industry has a capability to forge variety of raw materials like carbon steel, alloy steel,

stainless steel, super alloy, titanium and aluminum. As a result, forgings are used by almost the entire manufacturing

sector, positioning the forging space as an important contributor to the stability and growth of the manufacturing sector.

The Indian forging industry is highly fragment with more than 80% of the units featuring in the small and very small

category i.e. below 12,500 TPA capacity. The automotive sector currently accounts for about 60% of the forging sales. To

reduce its dependence on the automotive sector, the Indian forging industry is consciously making efforts towards

upgrading technologies and diversifying product range to expand its customer base to emerging sectors including

aerospace, energy, oil & gas, heavy engine parts, defence, construction equipment, power generation, power transmission

and distribution.

The Indian forging industry is likely to grow at CAGR of 9.5% by 2018, production wise, and reach to 2.97 mn MT in FY

2017-18 from 2.25 mn MT during FY 2014-15, according to Association of Indian Forging Industry. This optimism is

primarily due to the Government thrust on the manufacturing sector with initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Skill India’

promising to catalyze demand over the medium term. Many global OEMs and Tier-I players are setting up purchasing

offices in India to procure high quality forging products.

Since the Indian forging industry is primarily influenced by the automotive sector, globally and in India, it would be

relevant to analyze its performance and prospects in light of the automotive sector. Moreover, as Ramkrishna Forging has

Overall, it is expected that CV sales could rise at a CAGR of 4.6% over the 2017-21 forecast period. The strongest growth

is likely to be in Latin America and the Transition Economies (both 6.2%) as they rebound from their slumps, with Asia

not far behind on 5.5%. The slowest CAGR over the forecast period is expected to be in Western Europe (1.7% in 2017-

21), as it can fall back from the current surge. However, low commodity prices will continue to affect companies in many

resource dependent emerging markets, notably Russia, Brazil and the Middle East, preventing them from regaining all the

lost ground. A business-critical exposure to the commercial vehicle space globally and in India it would be more

appropriate to focus the discussion on this vertical within the automotive space.

After two years of decline that encompassed nearly every major developing market, the global commercial vehicle (CV)

market returned to growth in 2016. It is estimated that new CV registrations across 60 markets rose by a combined total of

3.7% to 13.3m, nearly at par with 2013’s record. Even Latin America and the Transition Economies reported a growth,

although it was not strong enough to make up for their recent slumps. Nevertheless, a few key markets continued to

decline in 2016, including Brazil and Indonesia. They were joined by the US, where weak business investment prompted a

10.7% fall in sales of medium and heavy vehicles.

Overall, it is expected that CV sales could rise at a CAGR of 4.6% over the 2017-21 forecast period. The strongest growth

is likely to be in Latin America and the Transition Economies (both 6.2%) as they rebound from their slumps, with Asia

not far behind on 5.5%. The slowest CAGR over the forecast period is expected to be in Western Europe (1.7% in 2017-

Government Initiatives:

The Government of India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016 has come a long way in ensuring growth for the

sector. Indian Automobile industry is expected to achieve a turnover of $300 billion by the year 2026 and will grow at a

rate of CAGR 15 per cent from its current revenue of $74 billion.

Government has drafted Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26 which will help the automobile industry to grow and

will benefit Indian economy in the following ways:-

Contribution of auto industry in the country’s GDP will rise to 13 percent, currently which is less than 10 per cent

More than 100 million jobs will be created in the economy

Companies will invest around US $80 billion as a part of their capital expenditure

End of life Policy will be implemented for old vehicles

Strategic Positioning to Ensure Long Term Growth:

Ramkrishna Forgings Ltd. (RKFL) has manufacturing facilities at Jamshedpur and is among the leading automotive

component manufacturers in India. RKFL supplies a wide range of components and has state of the art equipment backed

by advanced technology.

RKFL’s products find application across markets in both the automotive and non-automotive sectors. These markets

include medium & heavy commercial vehicles, tractors, Railways and the oil & gas sector. RKFL’s customer base

includes global OEM’s and TIER 1 customers.

Over the medium term, RKFL will likely benefit from an rising share of business from market leader in the Medium &

Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segment, higher sourcing of components from cost competitive manufacturing

hubs in Asia (including India), and from development of new product segments and customers. RKFL targets doubling of

revenues over the next three to four years. Richer product mix and economies of scale will drive EBITDA margins higher

by 200-300bps resulting in a margin in the range of 22-24% over the next three years.

The next five years are expected to be brighter for the industry. The Truck and Bus Manufacturing industry is expected to

grow over the next five years. Industry revenue is forecast to rise at an annualized rate of 1.0% to US$30.1 billion over the

five years to 2022. As the global economy continues to improve, international trade and freight levels will rise, creating a

greater need for new trucks. Additionally, ageing fleets will become a concern for trucking operators, and companies will

invest in new trucks as freight demand grows. These new investments will primarily center on hybrid trucks as freight

companies increase demand for cleaner-burning vehicles in anticipation of increased truck regulation.

As the US economy continues to improve, new and replacement demand will support industry growth. Freight demand

depends on nearly every sector of the economy. For example, imports of vehicles, clothing and consumer electronics will

grow over the next five years as consumer confidence continues to improve; therefore, trucks will be needed to transport

these goods. As a result, trucking businesses will keep growing and eventually demand new trucks. Furthermore, a built-

up inventory of old trucks will push demand upward, as new trucks are needed to replace aging fleets and accommodate

the uptick in freight volume.

However, despite expected revenue growth in the United States, emerging overseas economies will continue enticing

manufacturers to focus efforts abroad.
