Speaking after the company's 71st annual general meeting, Mr. Uttam Bose, Managing Director and CEO, Hindustan Motors said, "HM remains fully committed to its revival plan. Slowdown in the economy, especially in the auto sector has affected HM too. In addition, we have had operational challenges in terms of cash flow problems for the company. Under these circumstances, it is becoming extremely challenging to manage daily operations".

Mr. Bose said that as decided earlier, HM needs to restructure its business by demerging its Uttarpara and Chennai plants as the product portfolio and customer segment of these two units are very different. The company is seeking potential strategic/financial investors for both the units. It is already in talks with some of them. However, the potential partners, too, have specific needs and are interested in either of the two units, not both, he said.

Mr. Bose further said that the company is facing challenges in executing its revival strategy. In view of the delay in the demerger scheme awaiting the High Court's sanction, the company is initiating divestment of the Chennai plant to meet the goal. In the interim period, the company plans to have a working arrangement for the Chennai plant. HM is in discussions with different entities involved and hopes for strong support from the West Bengal government which is equally interested in reviving Hindustan Motors. "We have a common objective in reviving the organisation and bringing it back to black", he asserted.

During the 18-month period under review, beginning April 2012 and ending September 2013, HM incurred a loss of Rs 71.20 crore as compared to a loss of Rs 29.96 crore in FY 2011-12. The company's accumulated losses have exceeded its net worth at the completion of the financial year ended 30 September 2013. The company will take necessary steps to comply with the legal requirements, the statement said.
