BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Business Profile -------------Incorporated in Dec.'84, Asahi India Glass Ltd(formerly Asahi India Safety Glasses) was converted
into a public limited company in Dec.'85. It was promoted as a joint venture by Maruti Udyog; Asahi
Glass Company, Japan and B M Labroo and Associates. Asahi Glass Company, Japan, provides the
technical assistance to the company.
Asahi India Glass Ltd., manufactures a wide range of automotive and float glass. The Automotive
Glass Strategic Business Unit (SBU), one of the two strategic business units of the company, is the
sole supplier of automotive safety glass to nearly the entire Indian passenger car industry. The other
strategic business unit, the Float Glass SBU, manufactures float glass with a diverse product
portfolio catering to the needs of quality conscious customers including builders and architects.
AIS manufactures toughened glass for vehicles, solar panels and the construction industry. It caters
to over 90% of the safety glass requirements of the Indian passenger car industry and succeeded in
expanding its presence in the non-automotive segment, with its supply to the white goods industry.
Besides its main customer Maruti Udyog, it also caters to other vehicle manufacturers like Mahindra
& Mahindra, TELCO, DCM Toyota, GMIL, PAL-Peugeot & PAL-Uno, Ashok leyland, Eicher
motors and Swaraj Mazda.
It is the first Indian glass company to get the QS-9000 and ISO-9002 certification through TUV
Bayren Sachsen, Germany for the production and servicing of automotive safety glass.
In 1999-2000, the company received the "Best Performing Vendor" Award from Maruti Udyog at
Maruti Vendor Conference for the year 1998-99. The company is entering into a joint venture with
one of its distributors Map Auto and shall be making trade investment in and acquire 1,00,000 (50%)
equity shares in Map Auto Glasses. The remaining 50% will be subscribed by Map Auto Ltd.

Subsequent to the investment, the name of the company shall be changed from Map Auto Glasses to
Asahi India Map Auto Glass.
The company had 79.61% stake in Float Glass India Ltd has amalgamated the latter with itself w.e.f
April 2002.
AIS Automotive Glass of Asahi India has approximately 90% market share of automotive glass sales
to OEMs. It also has a 55% market share in the automotive glass replacement market in terms of
value.
The AIS Float Glass of Asahi India enjoys approximately 26% share of the Indian float glass market
and is the third largest float glass manufacturer in India.
News Details -------------Asahi India approves expansion plans (11/02/2004)
-------------------------------------------------------Float glass plant to be set up in the Uttaranchal
Asahi India Glass' board of directors, at its meeting held on 30 October 2004, has accorded in
principal approval for the expansion plans of the company, which include setting up of a second float
glass plant in Uttaranchal. The second float glass plant will have a capacity of 700 MT / day. The
board will meet again shortly to approve the project cost and schedule.
News Details ----------------AIGL to register impressive growth (12/06/2004)
-------------------------------------------------------------------Asahi India Glass Ltd has established itself as one of the largest integrated glass manufacturing
companies. It dominates the automotive segment (passenger cars and commercial/utility vehicles)
with over 90 per cent market share. With the outlook of the automotive industry appearing healthy,
we believe that AIGL would register impressive growth going forward. Also, the outlook on
industrial and economic growth of the country stands encouraging, which They believe shall ensure
the growth in the float glass business of the company.
The expansion thrust undertaken by AIGL would take care of the rising demand from both the
business areas i.e. automotive glass and float glass. The valuation of AIGL too has become attractive
after the significant drop in the market price from the high of Rs 152 in January 2004. In fact, the
stock price of AIGL has dropped by over 21 per cent in the past 30 days. This, we believe, has
provided investors with an opportunity to enter the stock of AIGL for healthy long term returns.
Developments and impact
AIGL's laminated and tempered glass facilities are operating at 100 percent and 70 per cent capacity
utilisation levels. As a result, the company has gone for setting up a second automotive glass plant in
Chennai in order to meet the rising demand from its OEM customers. The location of the new plant
holds special significance as auto majors like Hyundai, Toyota and Ford have established their new
capacities in the South. Currently AIGL has 100, 100 and 97 per cent share of business of Hyundai,
Ford and Toyota Kirloskar respectively. The car production in the South is expected to witness a
huge growth from current level of 2,20,000 to 4,70,000 in next five years time period. Location of
the new plant will also be beneficial in terms of savings in cost of raw material import (such as PVB)
as well as possible future exports.
Risks
The critical risk areas, which may influence AIGL's performance going forward, are as below: +
Margin pressure in both the business segments is expected to continue in current fiscal as well,

thereby restricting any further improvement. + Subdued growth in the domestic automobile industry
vis-a- vis FY04.
Growth
We believe that AIGL holds a healthy growth potential in coming years. Few of the key growth
drivers are as under: The automotive segment is expected to grow by 12-15 per cent in FY05, OEMs
segment to grow by 20 per cent. AIGL being a dominant player in OEM segment, we believe that it
will benefit from the higher growth in the segment. Replacement market in the automotive segment
too provides a good growth opportunity for the company in time to come. It currently holds 55 per
cent market share in automotive replacement market in terms of value. The float glass segment is
likely to grow by over 11 per cent during the current fiscal on rising penetration levels, growing
industrial sector and healthy economic growth prospects. The expansion plans augur well for AIGL's
growth prospects as it would help the company to accommodate the demand from various business
segments in the time to come

are planning to substantially increase their focus on value-added products for use in the construction
and automobile sectors to improve their margins in the current fiscal.
After smarting under depressed market conditions and high-interest costs relating to the largely debtfunded capacities almost during the entire of 1990s, the float glass industry has been able to tread
steadily on the road to recovery during the last three years, especially during the last fiscal by
witnessing a sharp improvement in its financial profile.
A healthy demand growth for float glass from the construction and automobile sectors and
technological support lent by the foreign parent companies of the Indian manufacturers were the two
key factors that led to the growth of the industry.
Most of the major players in the domestic float glass industry have indicated plans to increase the
share of value-added products to improve their margins and counter imports.
The country currently has a total flat glass manufacturing capacity of 0.68 million tonnes per annum,
comprising 0.17 m.t. of sheet glass (about 25 per cent of the total capacity) and 0.51 m.t. of float
glass (75 per cent).
There are four major domestic players, three of which are either the subsidiaries or joint ventures of
large MNCs St. Gobain is the Indian entity of the French glass major, Compagnie de St Gobain,
which has a global market share of 13 per cent, while Floatglass India and Gujarat Guardian are the
Indian ventures of Asahi Glass Co of Japan and Guardian Industries Corp of US, which account for a
share of 22 per cent and 12 per cent in the global market, respectively.
The major user of float glass is the construction sector (60 per cent), the products being mostly clear
unprocessed glass, coloured glass and processed glass, apart from the automobile sector (15 per cent)
and mirror manufacturing (15 per cent).
The gap between imported and domestic prices has narrowed by around Rs 6 to Rs 9 per mm/sq. m.,

following the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty of $82 per tonne and $67 per tonne on
imports from China and Indonesia, respectively in January this year. Although the provisional levy is
for a period of six months up to June 2003, domestic players believe that it would extended beyond
this period as imports could once again rebound when duty rates are lowered from the current level
of 25 per cent to around 15 to 20 per cent by 2004-05 to comply with the WTO regulations.
