 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
 The gross Sales of your Company increased by 58.38% from Rs. 4,536.65
 million in 2009-10 to Rs. 7,185.31 million in 2010-11.  9.64 million
 wheel rims were sold in 2010-11 as compared to 7.17 million wheel rims
 in the previous financial year. This corresponds to an increase of
 34.41% in numbers of wheels. The comparatively higher increase in sales
 could be achieved thanks to the higher volumes of Exports, Truck and
 tractor wheels sold during the financial year under review.
 
 The Earnings before interest and depreciation (EBITDA) increased by
 42.21 % from Rs. 622.49 million in 2009-10 to Rs. 885.25 million in
 2010-11. The EBITDA margin has slightly decreased to 12.34% from 13.76%
 in 2009-10 due to increasing steel prices during the financial year
 under review.
 
 A significant increase could be achieved in Profits before and after
 tax in 2010-11. They grew by 81.53% to Rs. 355.74 and by 105.18% to Rs.
 298.02 million respectively.
 
 The depreciation and other amortization increased to Rs. 328.05 million
 from Rs. 255.27 million due to the enhanced utilization of the Dappar
 and Oragadam plants and the commencement of commercial operations at
 Jamshedpur.

 Your directors are pleased to inform you that the Company''s new Truck
 Wheel Rims Facility at Jamshedpur has commenced its commercial
 production during the year 2010-11. Tube type heavy commercial vehicle
 wheel rims are successfully being supplied to Tata Motors and Tata DLT
 and soon also to Ashok Leyland.  Moreover, tubeless wheel rim samples
 have been developed for two prominent German trailer manufacturers:
 Krone and Schmitz Cargo bull.  Keeping in view the projected production
 plan of Tata Motors, the Jamshedpur plant is currently enhancing its
 capacity to a level 1.7 million wheel rims.
 
 DAPPARUNIT
 
 During 2010-11 your Company has furthermore added additional capacity
 at its Dappar plant. With this, the total installed capacity results

 ORAGADAMUNIT

 increased from 2.5 million to 6.0 million wheel rims p.a.
 
 MANUFACTURING CAPACITIES
 
 During the financial year under review the total capacity of the

 FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
 The focus of your Company is to develop world-class facilities for the

 The growth of the automobile component industry is likely to slow down
 considerably in 2011 -12 from the high growth rates of 26- 30% seen
 during 2010-11. This is due to higher price of vehicles and rising
 interest rates. The expected growth rates for 2011 -12 are expected to
 be around 8-10 percent in the domestic market and exports by around 70
 percent. Further details regarding the future outlook of your Company
 are discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis enclosed with
