Q: Could you update us on the current status of the Nexperia crisis and its impact on operations? A: (CEO) We have successfully developed alternatives for the passive components sourced from Nexperia, China, and have de-risked all components. We do not foresee any risk going forward as customer approvals are in place.
Q: Are rising commodity prices affecting your margins? A: (CFO) We are 100% indexed with customers for commodity prices, including silver. There is a lag of 3 to 6 months, but it is recoverable from customers.
Q: What is the status of new products like the disc brake and handlebar? A: (Director of Strategy) We started with pilot runs for disc brakes last year and will begin production with a large two-wheeler OEM in Q1 or Q2 of the next financial year. We expect growth due to potential mandatory ABS requirements.
Q: Can you provide guidance on CapEx and future strategic direction? A: (CFO) We plan a CapEx of around 500 crores over the next 2 to 3 years. We aim to evolve as a technology company, focusing on driver information systems and actuation and control management systems.
Q: How is the demand in the two-wheeler and commercial vehicle space? A: (CEO) Demand remains robust across all segments, including two-wheelers and commercial vehicles. We expect this trend to continue, supported by low dealer stock levels and positive market conditions.
