Growth Drivers:

One of the major factors driving the growth of the rear axle market is increasing global automotive production.

Moreover, logistics operations of heavy weight equipment such as electrical machines and new vehicles is expected to increase the adoption of rear axles in the near future. OEMs forming strategic alliances with manufacturing equipment providers to cope with the demand from vehicle manufacturers is a major trend identifiEDd in the global automotive rear axle market.

During the year they successfully installed new capacities and also debott lenecked our production facilities. 

The effect of this has been seen in their sales and revenue and should only improve and consolidate their position with time to come.

For the year 2018-2019 they are focusing on the following parameters to achieve our targets:

1) Increasing our capacities to meet the enhanced demand  to increase their market share in both Domestic and Export Markets.
2) To Strengthen their operational efficiencies.
3) To penetrate into newer markets and new customers. they are looking to further strengthen their relationship with our Customers both in the Tractor segment and Commercial Vehicle Segment in India and overseas and are also working to establish their foot print in the new segment i.e SUV Axle Shaft .



As they are operating in the Auto Component Industry, their performance is dependent on the fortunes of the auto Industry. Indian Automobile sector is on a growth path and is poised to grow on the back of growing Incomes in the rural areas and the growth impetus given by the Government to the Rural Economy. The Commercial Vehicle segment is also poised to perform well due to increased infrastructure and economic activity in the country. The commercial vehicle industry in North America and Europe is faring well and the growth of the same is also expected to continue in the future years also.

Risk:

(i)  Any downtrend in the abovesaid sectors can hamper the growth momentum of the Company. To mitigate this risk, the Company has decided to venture into a new segment of SUV Axle Shaft. The Construction of the factory shed is complete for the said Unit and the machineries have started arriving and the management expects to start the commercial production from the said unit in the fiscal 2019-20.

(ii) GNA has certain key customers which are core for its business and its growth and while the business with key customers has increased, the Company, as in the past, has been trying to mitigate the risk of its dependence on certain customers by making its customer base broad and also diversifying its product portfolio.
