COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE
The net revenue from operations for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 stands at Rs. 3755.52 Crores as against Rs. 3,367.57 Crores in the previous financial year, reflecting a growth of 11.52%. Profit before Tax (PBT) is Rs. 220.29 Crores compared to Rs. 203.45 Crores in the previous year.
The Indian automotive industry continues to evolve with strong underlying fundamentals. Demand recovery particularly in rural markets, signals improving economic activity and consumer confidence. At the same time, the passenger vehicle segment is witnessing a clear shift towards premiumization, with increasing adoption of feature rich, technology enabled vehicles, driving higher value per unit.
The commercial vehicle segment is adapting to tighter emission regulations and efficiency norms, reinforcing the need for continuous innovation and cost competitiveness across the value chain.
The transition towards electric mobility is progressing steadily. While adoption is gaining traction across segments more pronounced in two-wheelers charging infrastructure and total cost economics remain key enablers for accelerated growth. In parallel, the industry is witnessing a strong push towards localization of critical components, including battery technologies and power electronics, aimed at building a robust domestic ecosystem and reducing import dependence.
Technology is becoming the cornerstone of competitive differentiation. Increasing integration of connected systems, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and energy- efficient solutions is reshaping product development priorities across the industry.
In this environment, the Company remains firmly focused on technology leadership and customer-centric innovation. Our thermal management solutions are aligned with the evolving requirements of internal combustion, hybrid, and electric platforms. The Company continue to strengthen it’s capabilities in product development, manufacturing excellence, and supply chain resilience.
Going forward, the Company’s strategic priorities remain clear drive innovation, deepen localization, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver consistent value to customers and stakeholders. These will continue to be the key pillars of it’s competitiveness and long-term growth.
INDIA AS A FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE HUB
India is steadily emerging as a global hub for automotive manufacturing and research & development, supported by its scale, cost competitiveness, and evolving technology capabilities. The country is already the largest producer of two-wheelers, the second-largest producer of buses, and the third-largest producer of medium and heavy commercial vehicles globally.
Looking ahead, India is expected to significantly enhance its manufacturing capacity, with an estimated addition of nearly 4 million passenger vehicles by 2032. Industry
projections indicate that passenger vehicle volumes could grow from approximately 4.5 million units to 7 million units by 2030, while the commercial vehicle segment is expected to reach around 1.5 million units. This growth trajectory will further reinforce India’s position as the third- largest passenger vehicle market in the world.
A defining feature of this growth is the sustained dominance of the SUV segment, which continues to shape production strategies and competitive dynamics across OEMs. The strong preference for SUVs and premium vehicles has contributed to robust retail momentum, with the industry witnessing significant year-on-year growth, underscoring its resilience and long-term potential.
EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The Indian passenger vehicle market remains highly consolidated, with a few leading OEMs accounting for a dominant share of industry volumes. Companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India, Tata Motors, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, and Mahindra & Mahindra collectively command a substantial portion of the market, driving scale efficiencies and structured supplier ecosystems. Among these, Maruti Suzuki continues to hold a leadership position with a significant market share.
At the same time, many Indian automotive home grown companies are strengthening their global footprint across regions including Africa, Middle East, and Asia. The market has also proven challenging for several global entrants such as Ford Motor Company and Stellantis, highlighting the importance of localization, scale, and cost competitiveness.
Key growth drivers continue to include the rise of premium lifestyle mobility, increasing SUV penetration, and higher adoption of feature-rich vehicles. In parallel, the expansion of alternative powertrain ecosystems, particularly electric mobility, is reshaping the industry landscape. The development of electric drivetrain components, battery ecosystems, and fast-charging infrastructure is gaining pace, supported by policy initiatives and industry investments. While heavy-duty mobility continues to rely on advanced diesel technologies, electric adoption in light commercial vehicles and urban mobility segments is witnessing steady growth.
Consumer behaviour is also evolving, with increasing emphasis on safety, connectivity, and overall driving experience. The adoption of shared mobility solutions and digital platforms is influencing vehicle utilization patterns, particularly in urban markets.
Overall, the Indian automotive sector is undergoing a structural transformation, driven by premiumization, electrification, regulatory evolution, and infrastructure expansion. Rising disposable incomes, supportive government policies, and the ambition to position India as a global EV manufacturing hub are further accelerating this transition. The growing localization of high-value components such as electronics and battery cells is strengthening the domestic supply
chain and reducing external dependencies.
EXPANSION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
In line with evolving market requirements, the Company continues to proactively assess and enhance its product- wise capacity across manufacturing locations. The greenfield project at Kharkhoda (Haryana) represents a significant milestone and is expected to commence commercial production in Q2 of financial year 2026-27.
The Company is also expanding its presence in future mobility solutions through capacity addition at Karsanpura, Gujarat, 400,000 units per annum for electric compressors catering to EV applications, with an investment of around Rs. 175 Crores (approx). Additionally, capacity expansion of approximately 500,000 units per annum for ICE compressors is being undertaken with an investment of around Rs. 90 Crores (approx).
A strong focus is being placed on localization and backward integration, including the development of domestic vendor ecosystems, to reduce import dependence, optimize costs, and enhance supply chain resilience. These initiatives are aligned with broader industry efforts towards indigenization and self-reliance.
The Company continues to invest in strengthening its design and engineering capabilities to address evolving customer requirements across both domestic and global markets. Active development programs are underway with leading OEMs across diverse vehicle segments, positioning the Company as a technology-driven partner.
Looking ahead, the long-term outlook remains robust, with passenger vehicle production in India expected to approach 7 million units by 2030. In addition to domestic growth, the Company is increasingly focusing on expanding its export footprint, leveraging its technological capabilities and cost competitiveness to serve global markets.
The Company remains committed to driving innovation, enhancing operational excellence, and building a future- ready product portfolio aligned with emerging mobility trends, thereby ensuring sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
