Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you explain the rationale behind setting up a second EV components plant in Maharashtra while the first one is still under construction? A: Sunil Bohra, Group CFO: We have strong visibility on new business for both EDU and DST, with strategic partnerships in place. The second plant is necessary due to customer proximity and space constraints at the first plant. The phased commissioning of the plants will allow us to manage resources effectively.

Q: What are the expected growth and execution plans for the significant CapEx in FY27? A: Sunil Bohra, Group CFO: We have separate business teams for each project, ensuring focused execution. The CapEx will support market growth and strategic business wins, such as a significant two-wheeler lighting order. We expect to meet market growth and increase our share of business.

Q: How did commodity inflation and other factors impact margins in Q4, and what is the outlook for Q1? A: Sunil Bohra, Group CFO: Q4 margins were affected by price settlements and inventory costs. We anticipate a significant impact in Q1 due to commodity inflation, but we are negotiating with customers for shorter price adjustment cycles to mitigate this.

Q: Can you provide insights into the alloy wheel penetration trends and labor cost impacts? A: Sunil Bohra, Group CFO: Two-wheeler alloy wheel penetration is around 70%, and four-wheeler is about 40%. Labor cost increases, particularly in Haryana and Gujarat, are significant, and we are working with customers to address these impacts.

Q: What is the potential revenue from the new four-wheeler EV plants, and how does this align with your strategic goals? A: Sunil Bohra, Group CFO: The combined CapEx for the EV plants and casting facility is around INR1,200 crore, with expected revenues exceeding INR2,500 crore. This aligns with our strategy to expand in high-growth areas and meet customer demand.
