Excellent ways to rein in the perpetual offenders.

Liked the following lines...

But the style is the same - genuine objections will be swamped - there is a organised gang supporting with data points, old reports, vomiting the same 10 points with different slants endlessly. Point is nobody has/can have the energy to match/counter these guys

Our experience has taught us it is futile and a waste of time to counter. Its more effective to educate everyone, empower everyone to watch out for these patterns and encourage flagging. If we suspect multiple patterns playing out, the best Deterrent and Expose is to immediately invoke KYC, while still giving the benefit of doubt for inadvertent mistakes, and be willing to give a decent hearing.

Usually they fall in line immediately .

Congratulations for making all efforts to protect the interests of small and novice investors.

Keep it up Sir.

Thanks & regards,

Dear Ankit, Your posts are very informative. BTW do you track CAPITAL TRUST. I do not have economics background. Somehow the numbers seem to be appealing. Can you shower some light?

Current Liabilities -> Trade payables (increase); Other current liabilities (decrease)
Is this you want to highlight ?

Concall Details in brief:

1. Expect to sell in FY16 - 6.2 lac RE motorcycles.

2. New model to be introduced in FY16 and another one in FY17.`

3. Total 9 lac bike capacity by FY18. This includes availability for the year and not end of the year.

4. Major overhaul in the design of the retail stores. Total 500 dealer/stores this year target and 5 stores/dealer average each month next year.

5. More emphasis on"Soft-Sell" than "Hard-Sell".

6. Infra and hardware set up for the process. Huge benefit accruing because of this new design format. Able to attract huge footfalls when compared to "Traditional" Stores and also enabling to convert to Sales thereby increasing the orders!!!

7. FY17 bike selling target between 6.2 and 9 lacs. i believe they should do 40% volume growth.

8. Vallam Vadagal plant expansion going on. Oragadam will fuel the next leg of growth along with Vallam Vadagal. Tirivattiyur will be providing the exisiting functionalitites as is.

9. 60% of sales happening from Top 20 cities rest 40% from others.

10. There has been huge traction in the Tier 2 and 3 citites. Small towns which were selling 10-15 bikes are now seeing sales of 20-30. Hopeful of this growth going on...

11. 10% of sales from first time users and youngsters. This was 1-3% few years before. This when converted is a massive growth. 3% on 3 lac sales in Fy14 comes aroung to 9K. This has moved to 40K-45K which is 10% of 4.5 lac this year.

12. Huge work going on in the international market. US will have the first roll out from Wisconsin in H1 FY16. 2nd store opened in London. Madrid and paris also have RE stores now. Increased store count in colombia. Also entered Indonesia.

13. Good growth in HeavyDuty vehicles. Light and Medium duty CV also recorded growth.

14. Raw material cost has come down for RE especially since the falling commodity cost made to good use. Not so much when for VECV when compared to RE.

15. Very much hopeful of replicating the success of India in developing markets like Latin American and South east Asian since there is a huge scope and huge market.

16. There can be success like india, some markets may be not so successful and some markets may be better. The actual turnout will be clear after 5 years and all steps being taken to ensure success.

Export markets segmented to - developing nations and matured/developed markets.

There is a huge gap between 250-750 cc market and in the range of 3-4k dollar. Very less options available in this market and the company trying to fill this.

The waiting period is in the range of 1-4 months depending on the motorcycle models and has been reduced from 9 months in the peak time few years before and this is what company had also intended.

Overall liked the honesty, confidence of the management where they were even open in saying that there can be failures in some market , success in some markets like in India and there could be even better success than India in some markets.

FY16 will be a consolidation year. They want to increase the production to 50-52K per month average and will not be a straight line growth but skewed more to the end of the year with higher production. They want to stabilize the production/procurement/supply/vendor management first and then take it higher. Capex required will be clear in Feb annual meeting.
