“Although you will not be very happy, you will be disappointed with the kind of performance which the company has-done in the first quarter there are reasons, but the reasons are more justification.”

“The 20067 order is to be executed in 39 months and thereafter so it means virtually three and quarter year we will have to gear up for this thing and this year we have to perform for six months combatively so roughly we will have to do about 3300 wagons and from next year onwards as per requirement we have to deliver minimum 6600 number of wagons.”
AK Vijay
opening
“It was 80% through rail at that point of time in movement and with all the green movement, pollution issues reducing the carbon foot print and all those things I think the focus on railway will increase more and more in the coming year so this is how basically it is and the railway has ambiguous target of CAGR of 16.5% which is none of the government segment has ever assumed about.”
AK Vijay

“This is what railways has done apart from this there is a very robust demand coming out of private sector because they know pretty well the railway will be buying only standard type of wagons which are open and closed types rest all the type of wagon requirement will be have to be met by them through their own sources so all specialized end requirement need to be made by them.”

“With this basically I foresee that the wagon division especially the rolling stock wagon division will be doing well, will start improving from quarter two and do the best performance during quarter three and quarter four as of now as the situation emerges.”

“We will be carrying out all these things.”

“The next question as per your press release Ashish you will be leaving the company for Greener Pastures so could you just let us know give us some clarity on who will take over your position what is happening on that front because we have got any clarity on that yet and also could you on that point just reflect during your duration as MD how has the company evolved because clearly delivery is still lacking so could you speak a little about those two points.”

“Basically on a capex side we are targeting to invest close to about Rs.100 Crores and this funding will be done primarily from borrowing which we are basically already tied up some borrowings to extent of 75 to 80 Crores and balance will be from generation.”

“As a result of this thing there will be a big pressure on the steel and other requirement which are all being bought in cash so we will looking for an enhancement of about 100 Crores over there so that is where we are basically putting a break and want to restrict our borrowing to achieve the production in respect of what we have explained to you earlier from here onwards.”
Risks & concerns — 6 flagged
The positive for us is that the kind of requirement which emerges out of the wagon requirement which we need to deliver to the railways will require a amount of casting which is today is a challenge for steel foundry to produce and we have to really gear up make sure that our production capacity will improve substantially from what we have been doing over years and meet the requirement for the wagon so that the wagon plant is not wanting for this thing.
— AK Vijay
They are shot to the roof resulting in this thing that yes the margins have really seriously impacted and whatever we are doing we are trying to restrict ourselves so that we are not serious challenge on the working on funds and whatever funds are available to that extent only we are doing this thing.

Normally in a quarter end there can be challenge because railways has to get the new budget allocation from their existing but then as far as capital is concerned it is planned and the fund availability is always there.
— Ashish Gupta
The issue comes in case of rail EPC there also fund availability is not serious challenge but the process of bill passing is something which always becomes a challenge.
— Ashish Gupta
See the Indian railway orders it comes with a price variation clause so the risk in these contracts is very, very low so I would say the margins in the private sectors orders are significantly higher, but these are also not very TEXMACO RAIL & ENGINEERING LTD.
