2. STATE OF COMPANY’S AFFAIRS

With the improved situation of COVID and consequent opening of the economy, FY 2021-22 was expected to be a better year after a tough year of FY 2020-21, however due to fresh waves of covid coupled with supply constraints and increase in commodity prices, the industry’s performance remained subdued. According to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) report, the industry produced a total 229.33 Lakh vehicles including Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, Three wheelers, Two wheelers and Quadricycle during FY 2021-22 as against 226.55 Lakh Vehicles produced during last FY 2020-21 showing a growth of 1.23 %. The automotive sector saw both ups and down during this period, witnessing the longest sustained downfall in automotive industry. During this turbulent and unprecedented time, the Company with its strong order book and products in development, remained the market leader and a preferred supplier for all the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in India

The technology has been changing and evolving rapidly, and in order to always be ahead with the competition, Lumax has been focussing on strengthening its R&D capability. With this belief Lumax had opened its Design Centre in Czech Republic to have international technical competence and globalization of the same. This centre will also help to further enhance the skill of the local staff with exposure to new futuristic technologies.

It has been a pretty successful year for the Company with addition of new customers in its portfolio coupled with the new businesses from existing customers to improve top line.

With the introduction and emphasis of localization by OEMs, to avoid the risks associated with the supply chains, Lumax is investing in the upgradation of its existing manufacturing facilities alongside setting up a state of art Electronics manufacturing facility. The same will help in successful localization of technologically advanced products thus giving the customers immunity from supply chain risks with best quality products.

To succeed in the digital era, where technologies are changing the ground rules in every industry, the Company undertook several new initiatives for enhancement of its existing Information Technology (IT) systems to meet the regulatory and other organizational requirements. The Company’s focus was on automation.

Top Management is very keen on Digital Transformation of the Company in the real sense and formed committee of 10 key employees from all the departments. This committee conducted various meetings with the key stakeholders and prepared detailed roadmap. This

detailed roadmap has been made keeping in mind the vision of the Company, adoption of latest technologies, Automation of processes & data security. The Committee defined four stages for digital health assessment i.e. nascent, emerging, robust & Leading across all the elements of the process value chain. Company’s roadmap for digital transformation is having following key objectives:

• Digitalizing all the manual processes

• Leading Design Centre as per Global Standard

• Standard Manufacturing Cockpit at plant level

• AI/ML based alert system

• Dashboard for the Top Management at Corporate Level

• Robust Data security & surveillance system to protect data as well as cyber attacks

Team is working on the above objectives and achieved good results in the digitalization of the process, Supply Chain & Security. In the next year, the Company’s target is to maximize the impact of Digitalization. The Company will witness imrpovement in Marketing, Human Resource practices, Manufacturing Operations and enhance Design capabilities.

Automotive Lighting is a Safety Critical Automotive Component. Over Years several New Technologies have matured with focus on Aesthetic, Cost, Power Consumption, Improved Visibility etc. New functions are coming to improve safety and also to show the brand signature, usage of some functions on light markings to improve safety, or brand logos for styling and marketing reasons. Vehicles are embedding more and more sensors (in front, rear or side of Vehicle), which raises the challenges of their integration in the vehicle, their fusion to perceive the environment, and also the management of an increasing quantity of data (local or cloud processing, data annotation and storage). The Company is working towards continuous improvements by adding Core Engineering Strength. It has restructured the organization with an Engineering Centre for Competence (COC) & adding Specialists for developing next generation Lighting Systems for Automotive applications. It has Localized LED Projectors, Lighting Electronics, Light Guides etc to bring Value added Technologies at affordable cost to Customers. It will be launching few innovative Technologies in India Like Localized LED Projectors, LED Fog Lamps, Sealed Projector, Charging Indicator Lamps for EV application, Sequential Turn Indicator, integrated 3-in-one Signaling Functions, Lamps with 2K-3K Lens/Bezel, Full Deck-lit Lamps etc. in India for enhanced visibility & Aesthetic

at Lower Power Consumption or Cost. The Company is also working on Innovative Technologies of the future (Projectors, AFS/ADB, 3D Holographic Signaling, Homogenous lit appearance, Sensor integration, Logo or Signal Projections etc.).

The Company demonstrated its commitment towards Quality by ensuring that quality processes are adhered to by all through its recently Launched LDR (Lumax Development Rule) Product Development Process. This is an Online Project Management 7 gate tool that has taken program execution towards excellence.

The Company has won accolades and awards not only from the customers but also at various industry conventions like ACMA competition, National Convention of Quality Control Circle (NCQCC), Kaizen. Also Company got International TPM awards from Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM) for best manufacturing practices.

The Company continues to uphold the highest standards of Corporate Governance, treating its various stakeholders as an ethical requisite rather than a regulatory necessity and continue to base all its actions on the principles of fairness, trust and transparency, standing by its core values of Respect, Integrity, Passion and Excellence.

All in all, the Company made good progress in all areas in FY 21-22, and the management is quite confident that going forward the Company will continue to deliver value to all its customers and stakeholders. The longterm outlook for the Company remains positive and it is poised to outperform the industry.

to look much more at the whole system, not only usual view to a subsystem like the headlamps. Accordingly the Company needs to develop more adaptive systems— adaptive to the complete environment. The requirements for car lighting are very different in the colourful and bright ambience of a megacity versus the dim and rainy countryside. All around the car! Lit roof rails; lit logos on the C-pillar and everywhere else; digital light; edge-to-edge front and rear position lamps; turn signal and reversing lamp projections; digital DRLs; light carpets; welcome/goodbye lights. Small projectors for dynamic ground illumination are starting to enter the car. Lit logos are trending, but legislation is still difficult. All Lighting Functions are dynamic in future. One of Company’s future tasks will be providing the best light for the respective situation taking care of Styling, Quality & Cost.

It’s getting complex with more Electronics content getting embedded in Automotive Lighting. India is adapting to higher end Technologies at a very fast pace with Advance Front Lighting System, Full LED Headlamps & Innovative Signalling Functions. The Company is rapidly increasing its Engineering Strength with a vision to be leading global affordable Lighting Supplier focused towards Technologies mapped with affordable LED Headlamps, Adaptive Driving Beam, Charging Indicator Lamps for EV applications, LED Projectors, LED High Beam Boosters, Logo Projections, Diffractive Holographic Signalling Functions, Sensor Integration in lamps etc.

To achieve Technology Roadmap the Company has expanded its Engineering Strength in Europe & India with the experts in Optics, Electronics & Core Engineering. This will expedite pace to catch up with Lighting Technology in west and have it available for OEMs in India at affordable cost. The Company already has tie-up with Stanley Japan which continues to be a Pillar of strength.
