Hi,
Even I was searching for new client additions in the annual report but could not find any.
The company only mentioned that there was a greater demand of new products among existing clients (for exports), which does make sense because the total revenue increased and so did the % of exports

Attended Online AGM. Was not able to take notes but few points as below.

  1. Operating currently at around 70% capacity and should be running to full capacities by next year.
  2. Strong order book (did not mention the numbers).
  3. One one query, management pointed out that concentration of clients is positive as these are top 2 international players.
  4. Operating in niche space, quality and timely delivery is key which they are proud of.
  5. Capex should be ramped up by year end.
  6. See tractor space as good growth opportunity for growth.

On a personal note, management tone seemed positive.

The cap of 2 crore is on each shipment. Will it have an effect on small scale exporters like RACL, as their product is gear components which would be exported in batches. I think it may affect the manufactures selling end products (cars/ bikes) like Hyndai, Bajaj or TVS as the product value will be much higher and batch value also in multiples of crores.

This is one of those things that might or might not feature in an annual report or quarterly results report. How this will affect the company is best heard straight from the horse’s mouth. Unfortunately, RACL have not had many conference calls.

I have written to their investor relations team asking for clarification and will update the thread if I get clarification from them.

Thanks for sharing this @vikas_sinha

RACL Geartech will not be hit by Cap on MEIS subsidy per Exporter Rs 2 Cr for the period Sep 20 to Dec 20. RACL geartech Export per month is around 12 cr & for 4 months Export value of 48 crore ,considering MEIS of 2%(General rate) , per Exporter Limit of Rs 2 crore will not be breached. Big Exporter of Auto & Auto Ancillary will be hit hard. It will be interesting to see WTO compliant new incentive scheme w.e.f 1st January 2021

Hi

Thanks. Decent numbers. Just skimmed quickly right now.

Also one point to note is that the leverage has dropped. I think the Debt to Equity should now be below 1. PAT margin has increased to 11%+. Current ratio has also increased.
What is the cash outflow in the Other Non Current Asset line. BS also shows substantial equivalent increase. Any idea?

Seems like the OPM has improved. The material cost has come down.

Views on the Related party transactions published on BSE?

What is the role played by subsidiary in Austria, ? As per last annual report its trade license was yet to be issued.

Hi,
The PLI scheme ( production linked incentive) announced yesterday by government has allocated 15,000 crores for Automobiles and Auto parts manufacturing companies based in India. Companies which are increasing revenue by virtue of increase in production shall be benefited by this. Think this will help RACL in the long run, if they can steadily improve revenue.
There was a rally in Dixon technologies & Amber when such scheme was announced for electronic manufacturing and mobile manufacturing

Hi @sahil_vi,
RACL Shares are on a roll today… :grinning:

Between , I haven’t seen any disclosures like this before - About record monthly sales!

I have gone through listing regulations 30 and the closest one which management could be referring might be below one:

Is it normal for a company to disclose sales figures before quarterly results?

I assume that management is fed up with rangebound movement in stock prices and wanted to give it a boost( wild guess !) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Interesting observation, even I was confused as to why would the management do such a thing in the middle of a quarter.
But I saw a similar notice in the case of Atul Auto https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/830d0240-0759-4841-8f96-4ffb8714079f.pdf
(I don’t follow Atul Auto but the figures don’t look something to be proud of, please correct me if I’m wrong)

Disclosure: Invested in RACL and added more today
