    A new platform of engine and vehicle was designed to carry forward the legacy of the Companys

    most successful brand Pulsar, into the future. This vehicle is designed to further enhance and

    sharpen the street sports image of the Pulsar brand. The vehicle is powered by a high performance 4

    valve liquid cooled engine with triple spark ignition, delivering 23.5 Ps, with a 6 speed gear box. This

    provides the vehicle with excellent and thrilling performance as well as efficiency. The vehicle is

    equipped with state-of-the-art features like perimeter frame with high lateral rigidity, low slung

    central muffler, nitrox mono shock rear suspension, all adding up to providing excellent handling and

    riding pleasure.

    KTM 200

    This model extends the new platform of engine and vehicle co-designed by Bajaj and KTM from

    125cc into a 200cc. Unlike KTM125, this product is aimed for Indian as well as European markets.

    The vehicle is powered by a high performance 4V liquid cooled engine delivering 25 Ps, with a 6

    speed gear box suitably mated to the power characteristics of the engine. The engine has electronic

    fuel injection. The vehicle is equipped with state-of-the-art features like radial calipers for front disc

    brakes, inverted front forks, cast aluminum swing arm and radial tyres at both front and back.

    BM-150

    The BM-150 moves the highly successful BM-100, the number one bike in Africa, to the next level.

    This product brings the power of 150cc to the utility segment of the market. It has a sturdy frame

    designed to do duty under demanding usage and terrain conditions and wide tyres to complement.

    The BM-150 has been well received in the export markets.

    BM-100

    The BM-100 complements the BM-150 to bring in features like electric start in order to enhance the

    utility of the product. The strong frame and modern engine make it very robust. The BM-100 and

    BM-150 together address competitors from the 100 to 150 cc segments.

    l Manpower: R&D has been expanding its team size in areas of design, analysis and validation in

    order to keep up with the rapidly expanding aspirations of the Company. This year, R&D expanded

    its manpower strength by about 12%. l Facilities: R&D continued to enhance its design, computing

    and validation facilities. The efforts on the establishment of validation facilities have enabled R&D to

    develop durable and refined products like the new Pulsar 200 NS. l Total Productivity Management

    Annexure A

    Information in accordance with the Companies (Disclosure of Particulars in the Report of Board of

    Directors) Rules, 1988, and forming part of the Directors Report for the year ended 31st March

    2012.

    .Efforts in brief made towards technology absorption, adaptation and innovation Design of components and systems including design review process.

    Component and sub component level localisation, development and testing of parts for

    existing and new models

    Capabilities enhanced in component and vehicle evaluation, benchmarking and design

    optimisation

    Capabilities being further enhanced in area of alternative fuels.

    Value Engineering (VE) at the time of new model

    Design to maximise cost benefit

    Capability enhanced in the development of new

    Technologies at affordable prices.

    Benefits derived as a result of the above efforts

    The Company was able to achieve high level of localisation in all the models resulting in reduction of

    cost. The Company was also able to offer new technologies benefiting its customers. The Company

    has also worked significantly in the areas of fuel efficiency and weight reduction

    Technology inducted

    The Company has been a pioneer in offering latest technologies at affordable prices to its customers.

    As a market leader, the Company intends to keep this momentum in future. Some of the steps taken

    in this direction are as under:

    The all new powerful and light weight K14 engine was introduced in Ertiga. The engine is an

    extension of the successful K-series line-up.

    New Swift and Swift DZire were made equipped with detent pin technology for improving

    the shift comfort. This has helped in enhancing the customer satisfaction

    New Swift, Swift DZire and Ertiga were made equipped with new generation Anti-lock

    Braking System (ABS) which is the smallest and lightest system in the Companys line-up.

    New technology Engine Drag Control (EDC) was introduced which proves the technological

    superiority of the Companys vehicles.The EDC prevents locking of driving wheels due to

  • 7/28/2019 LAB Report Group 1

    5/27

    engine braking, thereby ensuring the drivability and steerability while braking in slippery

    conditions

    New Swift and DZire were made equipped with the latest 3rd generation wheel bearing

    units. It brings a reduction of over 20 per cent in weight over first generation unit with

    additional advantages of controlled pre-loading, enhanced rigidity and improved bearing

    performance Fuel efficiency of the vehicles being the prime focus, Variable Value Timing (VVT) was

    introduced in gasoline versions of new Swift, new DZire and Ertiga to improve the fuel

    efficiency and performance. Other measures like valve train friction reduction in K12 and

    K14 engines and introduction of low viscosity engine oils in diesel engines have been taken

    to improve the fuel efficiency.

    The Company has always been the forerunner in implementing new environment friendly

    measures. New Swift and Swift DZire are compliant with On Board Diagonosis (OBD) -II

    Regulations and thus are much ahead of the requisite time of implementation of these

    regulations i.e. April 2013.

    Board of directors

    In keeping with the commitment of the management for the principle of integrity and

    transparency in business operations for good corporate governance, the Companys policy is to

    have an appropriate blend of executive and independent directors to maintain the

    independence of the Board, and to separate the Board functions of governance andmanagement.

    Composition

    As on 31 March 2012, the Board of Bajaj Auto consisted of sixteen directors, of whom four

    directors were executive. Nine out of twelve non-executive directors were independent.

    The Board has no institutional nominee directors.

    According to clause 49, if the chairman is executive or a promoter, at least one half of the Board

    should consist of non-executive, independent directors. As Table 1 below shows, this provision

    is met at Bajaj Auto.

    Non-executive directors compensation

    The Board of Directors at its meeting held on 26 March 2011 had partially revised the directors

    remuneration policy with effect from 1 April 2011 and accordingly non-executive directors of

    the Company with effect from 1 April 2011 are being paid, in addition to the sitting fee of `

    20,000 per meeting for every meeting of the Board and its committees, commission at the rate

    of ` 100,000 per meeting of the Board and its committees attended by them, subject to the

    overall ceiling of one percent of net profits. In terms of the said approvals given by the Board of

    Directors and shareholders, one independent director viz. Nanoo Pamnani will be paid `

    1,000,000 as commission for the year 2011-12 in consideration of the services rendered by him

    during the year 2011-12 at the request of the management.The company did not have a stock option programme for the non-executive directors during the

    year under review.
