Autoline Industries Ltd (AIL) (incorporated on December 16, 1996, as
 Autoline 
 Stampings Private Ltd.) was initially set up in January 1995 as a
 partnership firm 
 known as Autoline Pressings under Indian Partnership Act 1932, with a
 capital 
 of Rs. 0.30 million & term loan of Rs. 0.15 million from State Bank
 of India and Cash
 Credit limit of Rs.0.05 million. AIL has grown into a medium sized
 engineering and 
 auto ancillary Company, manufacturing sheet metal components,
 sub-assemblies 
 and assemblies for large OEMs in the Automobile Industry.
 
 We are engaged in Manufacturing various auto parts / sheet metal
 components for 
 Passenger cars, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV), Commercial vehicles,
 Two wheelers, 
 Three wheelers, Tractors, etc. We are one of the prime vendors to
 various Automobile 
 Companies like, TATA MOTORS LTD. (earlier TELCO), BAJAJ AUTO LTD,
 KINETIC 
 ENGINEERING LTD, MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD., FIAT (INDIA) PVT. LTD., 
 WALKER EXHAUST (INDIA) PVT LTD (a Subsidiary of Tenneco, a fortune
 500 U.S.
 company), etc. AIL is also exporting auto parts i.e. brake shoes for
 Mercedes Benz 
 Trailers to Saudi Arabia, Dubai etc. Further negotiations are at
 various stages with 
 various Detroit based Auto Component Makers for direct exports. Due
 to excellent 
 quality in work, cost competitiveness, timely deliveries and State of
 the Art Tool
 Room with latest CAD / CAM facilities, the company has, in a short
 span, become 
 prime vendor to all the reputed Auto Manufacturers in and around
 Pune. The turnover 
 of the company has accordingly increased from a modest Rs. 6.30
 million as on 
 31.03.1997 to a massive Rs. 1113 million as on 31.03.2006, in just 9
 years time.
 All the manufacturing facilities have been certified as ISO/TS 19649:
 2002 by 
 TUV(Rh), Germany. 
 
 Considering the rapid growth in the business, the company was  in
 need of additional 
 space and manufacturing capacities. Therefore 3 to 4 expansions had
 to be taken up 
 in quick succession during last 9 years. Initially we started our
 operations at Kudalwadi 
 with 10,000 sq. ft. plot area. Then expanded to Chakan with  114,000
 sq. ft. Plot area 
 and T-135, MIDC, Bhosari with 53,000 sq. ft. plot area. Further  we
 have now acquired 
 additional Land of 15 Acres (600,000 sq. ft. area approx) in Chakan
 very near to the 
 existing Factory. Out of the 15 acres land acquired, 7 acres has been
 utilized to set up 
 a new modern manufacturing facility on a built-up area of 1,60,000
 sq. ft. Thus our existing 
 operations of the company are spread at five places (including a
 wholly owned
 subsidiary) with good infrastructural facilities.
 
 During last 9 years our sales have shown steady growth. During the
 year 2000-01 we 
 had achieved sales of Rs. 171.20 million which were 9.12 % more than
 sales of 1999-00. 
 In the year 2001-02 the sales were Rs. 212.50 million, increased by
 24.13 % as compared 
 with previous year. For the year 2002-03 we achieved sales growth of
 28.46 % with sales 
 of Rs. 272.9 millions. In the year 2003-04 we achieved sales of Rs.
 510.8 million, thereby
 registering growth of 87% over previous year. In the year 2004-05,
 sales grew to Rs.684.8 
 million (growth of 34% over previous year) and further to Rs.1113.3
 million in 2005-06, a 
 massive growth of 63% over previous year and a growing base.
 
 We have been consistent in making profits. In the year 2000-01 and
 2001-02 we had 
 earned net profit of Rs. 0.51 million and Rs. 4.43 million
 respectively. During the year 2002-03 
 the Net profit was Rs.5.70 million. During the year 2003-04 we made a
 profit of Rs. 5.93 million. 
 The profitability in comparison with the sales was low, because the
 major clients like Tata 
 Motors and Bajaj Auto had not given the price increase for Steel
 despite steep increase in the 
 prices of raw material i.e. Steel. Further there was increase in the
 finance cost also.
 However during the year 2004-05, Tata Motors had increased the prices
 of the components 
 in proportion to increase in the prices of Raw Material. The finance
 cost was reduced by more 
 than 50% by availing FCNR(B) loans at 300 basis points above LIBOR
 from Bank of Baroda to 
 replace all Rupee Loans. The Net Profit thus saw robust growth to
 Rs.19.80 million in 2004-05 
 and further improved to Rs.70.13 million in 2005-06.
