17. TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT A key strategic initiative at Asahi India has been in the area of building “relevant” self sufficiency in technology. We are fully equipped with CMM, CAD and a CNC Milling station, which provides self sufficiency in the area of product development. We have, however, gone beyond this into the area of developing and building glass processing equipment. CNC PRE-PROCESS LINE DEVELOPED BY ASAHI INDIA

18. 2ND AUTOMOTIVE GLASS PLANT • Asahi India’s laminated plant at Bawal, with a capacity to manufacture 1.2 million windshields, is currently operating at full capacity. • With most of the new capacity having been established by majors like Hyundai, Toyota and Ford in South India, the second automotive glass plant is being set up in Chennai in South India. Car production in this area is expected to rise from the current level of 220K to over 470K in next five years • Besides proximity to key customers, Chennai is a Port city, thus allowing cost reduction in import of raw material (such as PVB)as well as in possible future exports. • Commercial production of laminated windshields at second plant (Phase I) to commence from October, 2004. Capex for Phase I planned at Rs. 53 crores.

19. EXPANSION : BRIEF HIGHLIGHTS • In Phase 1, only laminated plant to be established in Chennai – with capacity of 500,000 windshields. Plan for raising laminated capacity to 1.5 million windshields to be decided later, depending on overall demand situation. • Plant to be set up in modular fashion – i.e. ability to take capacity up to 1.50 million windshields with some de-bottlenecking and additional investment. • Plan to invest in Chennai for tempered capacity. • Once fully set up, new facility in Chennai planned at capacity of 1.50 million laminated windshields and 1.0 million tempered car sets. • Chennai facility to include Value Addition capability (Assemblies, Add-ons) as required.
