B. OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE - THE COMPANY AND

India

The light vehicle market growth slowed down to single
digits vis-a-vis CY 23 while, the two wheeler market
experienced a revival growing by double digits. The
overall market (for our mix of segments) grew marginally
in CY24 (4.2%), and our business growth was in line with
that. EBITDA Margins in the India business improved (17.9%
in CY24 v/s 16.7% in CY23) through focus on initiatives like
increasing labour productivity using smart automation,
improving asset utilisation by optimising working capital,
enhancing machine throughput and using flexible
machines. To keep expanding the order book, emphasis
is on improving new product development with higher
value add and the skills required for it. The Indian market
is expected to grow in the medium term and we continue
to expand capacities across business verticals.

Europe

The growth in the European automotive industry slowed
in CY24 as compared to CY23. The automotive industry

is dealing with rising costs, uncertainty around transition
to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and competition from cheaper
Chinese imports. There are also concerns around CAFE
norms, the penalties of which have kicked in from 1st
January, 2025. The Company has taken proactive
corrective measures to optimize cost in line with the
current market situation. The strategy is to protect EBITDA
margins (16.1% in CY24) as much as possible and focus
on cash generation in Europe.

delivering measurable outcomes is critical to long-term
success and credibility.

As a subsidiary of CIE Automotive S.A. Spain, the
Company is committed to a 5-year Strategic ESG plan,
adhering to 79 KPIs across four pillars: CIE Culture, Ethical

Commitment, Eco-Efficiency, and Active Listening. These
pillars align with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development
Goals. Apart from this India Specific ESG Goals & targets
have been formulated as a roadmap towards achieving
our identified Sustainability Goals.

including building a responsible supply chain with local
sourcing, environmental assessments of identified
partners, and promoting a circular economy by reducing
raw material consumption, managing waste, minimizing
environmental impact, and enhancing energy efficiency.

The Company is committed to achieving carbon
neutrality by 2050, adopting ISO 14001 and ISO 50001
standards, and focusing on renewable energy, material
circularity, and responsible resource use. In CY 2024,

initiatives in CY 2024. These initiatives include ongoing
training programs, thorough safety audits, safety
culture assessments, and the adoption of advanced
safety technologies, all aimed at preventing incidents
and fostering a strong safety culture throughout the
organization.

In CY 2024, the Company took significant strides in
reinforcing its commitment to health and safety. The
Back-to-Basics safety campaign, launched across all
plants, aimed to maintain the momentum and motivation
of shop floor employees, emphasizing the importance
of discipline in manufacturing facilities. The successful
program on 12 Life Saving Rules, introduced in CY2023,
continued in CY2024, with the addition of an E-module
for refresher training to ensure sustained awareness and
adherence.

Recognizing that safety performance cannot be solely
improved by better infrastructure and technology, the
Company undertook a safety cultural assessment. This
evaluation was designed to measure the effectiveness
of past safety initiatives and identify areas where further
interventions and programs were necessary to advance
the Company's position on the safety cultural ladder.

All plants achieved ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications,
demonstrating a commitment to both occupational
health and safety and environmental management. To
