4 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - SWOT


Analysis

4.1 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - SWOT Analysis - Overview

Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd (THCM) is a leading construction equipment manufacturer and marketing
company. The company’s wide product and service offerings, and strong production and distribution capabilities are its
major strength, even as over dependence on a selected region remain an area of concern. Rising labor costs and
stringent rules and regulations in India and rapidly changing technology may impact the company’s performance.
However, positive outlook for Indian construction industry, strategic growth initiatives and positive outlook for construction
equipment market in India are likely to present new growth opportunities to the company.

4.2 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - Strengths

Strengths - Wide Product and Service Offerings

The company offers a range of construction and mining equipment catering to the needs of building and infrastructure
needs. THCM is one of the largest manufacturers of construction equipment in India. The company offers a range of
excavators with over 30 models starting from 2 tons to 800 tons and dump trucks with a capacity from 35 tons to 290 tons.
Its products include hydraulic excavators, mining shovels, off-highway dumpers, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders,
vibratory compactors, motor graders, crawler cranes, multi-utility loader, transit mixers, among others. The company also
offers a range of services such as full maintenance contracts, site overhauls and specialized reconditioning and
refurbishing services. It also provides spares and attachments. Moreover, the company leverages product innovation
strategy to offers better solutions and services to its customers and develop new revenue streams providing strength to its
balance sheet. Such wide range of products and services helps the company to serve diverse requirements of its
customers, which in turn drives its top-line performance.

Strengths - Production and Distribution Capabilities

The company has strong production capability, which helps it meet the demand from its customers. THMC owns and
operates three manufacturing plants at Jamshedpur in Jharkhand; Dharwad in Karnataka; and Kharagpur in West Bengal.
In addition, the company has a network of 230 warehouse, dealership, and hydraulic workshops across India and one in
Spain. It also manages a research and development facility for design and development of indigenous and collaborated
equipment at Kharagpur, West Bengal. Ability to produce and distribute quality products has enabled the company to
emerge as a leading manufacturer in India.

4.3 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - Weaknesses

Weaknesses - Overdependence on Selected Region

Dependence on the Indian market for its revenue could be a cause of concern to the company during any political or
economic adversity in the region. THCM generates a major portion of its revenue from India. With its prime competitors
such as Escorts Ltd, and McNally Bharat Engineering Company Ltd., already having diversified geographical operations,
the company is at a major disadvantage. Limited geographical presence puts the company at a risk, as any adverse
development in the political, economic or climatic environment of the region might have an adverse impact on its
business. It also restricts its market share and limits growth options.

4.4 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - Opportunities

Opportunities - Strategic Growth Initiatives

THCM is taking various strategic initiatives to drive its business growth. For example, in June 2017, the company
launched MAX Series TH76 and TH86 backhoe loaders at its Dharwad Plant. In the same month, the company opened an
operators training center in Dharwad, Karnataka to develop skill sets. In April 2017, THCM introduced ZAXIS 33U Mini
Excavator at India Golf Expo 2017. In November 2016, the company launched ZAXIS 470H Shovel variant at IMME 2016.
In addition, in August 2016, the company introduced ZAXIS 370LCH GI-Series Hydraulic Excavator primarily targeting
granite and marble, blue metal handling and bulk excavation sectors in India.

Opportunities - Positive Outlook for Indian Construction Industry

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - SWOT Profile Page 9


Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The positive outlook for the Indian construction industry may provide new opportunities to THCM. According to in-house
research, the Indian construction industry is expected to grow with various investments in residential, infrastructure,
transport and energy projects during the forecast period (2017–2021). In addition, several government flagship programs
including 100 Smart Cities Mission, Housing for All, Atal Mission for Urban Rejuvenation and Transformation (AMRUT),
Make in India and Power for All are also expected to drive the growth in the future. The construction industry in India is
expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period and reach INR43.0 trillion in 2021. The residential
construction market is expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 8.8% and value INR13.8 trillion in 2021. This market
is expected to be supported by the increase in urbanization, population and government investments in affordable housing
projects. The infrastructure construction market is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period, and
value INR9.8 trillion in 2021. This market is expected to be driven by the investments from public, private, and foreign
companies for the development and modernization of transport infrastructure. The commercial construction market is
expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 8.1% and value INR3.4 trillion in 2021. This market is estimated to be
supported by the rising disposable income, and the growth in the retail and tourism sectors. The industrial construction
market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% and reach a value of INR3.3 trillion in 2021. This market is estimated to
grow by investments in the manufacturing plants and chemical and pharmaceutical plants categories. The energy and
utilities construction market is expected grow at a CAGR of 7.4% and value INR11.1 trillion in 2021. It is expected to be
supported by the investments in renewable energy infrastructure. The institutional construction market is expected to
record forecast-period CAGR of 6.9%, through public and private sector investments in education and healthcare
construction projects.

Opportunities - Positive Outlook for Construction Equipment Market in India

THCM may benefit from the positive outlook of construction equipment market in India. According to India Brand Equity
Foundation (ibef), the Indian construction equipment sales which reached 68,200 units in 2015, is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 6.18% during 2007 and 2018 and reach 96,700 units by 2018. The construction equipment market is expected
to be driven by the road construction and earthmoving sectors and various infrastructure investments in the country. In
addition, according to Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (Icema), the Indian construction
equipment market is expected to increase to US$5 billion in 2020. Therefore, the company stands to benefit from the
positive outlook of construction equipment market in India.

4.5 Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery Co Ltd - Threats


Threats - Stringent Rules and Regulations in India

THCM is required to comply with stringent regulations at the federal, state and local levels. Products and services that do
not comply with legislation outlined by the regulatory bodies may face a delay in reaching its customers. Furthermore,
non-compliance with legislation may lead to penalties and legal proceedings, which may damage the company’s image.
The company must comply with various construction laws, rules and regulations such as The Real Estate Regulation and
Development Bill, 2013; Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service Act, 1996; Contract Labour (R&A) Act,1970;
Contract Labour(Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 ; and Air (Prevention And Control Of Pollution) Act, 1981. Any non-
compliance with applicable regulations may lead to fines and other penalties. The compliance or change in regulations
may force the company to update its services, in turn, increasing the capital expenditure and impacting its financial
position.

Threats - Increase in Minimum Wages in India

Increasing minimum wage rates for employees in India may increase the costs for the company. Such initiatives from the
Indian government may increase the cost indirectly for THCM which in turn may affect its profitability. In March 2017, the
government announced to increase the minimum wage for construction skilled employee to INR637, INR579 and INR494
and for highly skilled employee to INR693, INR637 and INR579 in area A, B and C respectively. In addition for semi-
skilled employees the wages are INR579, INR494 and INR410 for area A, B and C respectively.

Threats - Rapidly Changing Technology

Construction and Mining Equipment manufacturing market, in which THMC participates, is subject to rapid technological
changes. The introduction of products using new technologies and the adoption of new industry standards can make
existing products or products under development, obsolete or unmarketable. In this scenario, to compete effectively, the
company has to continuously innovate and introduce new products that gain market acceptance. Unless the company
understands the customers’ requirements and adapts the emerging technologies in the market and introduces new
products and solutions, its business may be adversely affected.
