From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Europe Order Wins & Outlook | Order wins of € 13.9 million in Q1 include a large Mercedes hybrid program and a Stellantis ICE order; the European market is challenging with Chinese OEMs taking share, but Endurance sees growth through M&A and taking over business from bankrupt competitors. |
| Margin Headwinds and Recovery | Commodity cost increases in Q1 led to higher RMC percentage; raw material rate pass-throughs from Q1 are expected to be settled in Q2, and softening aluminum prices should help margins. |
| 4W Castings and Shendra Facility | 4W casting business was ~₹180 crores in Q1; the AURIC Shendra plant has won orders worth ₹513 crores per annum from a US EV OEM, JLR, and Valeo, with SOP starting in September 2026. |
| Battery Pack Business and Profitability | Battery pack SOP for Hero MotoCorp started in June 2026; 4W battery pack capex of ₹62 crores is planned with SOP by Q4 FY27; margins are being worked on with a target to reach company average, and the business is high-value with packs potentially costing ~₹1 lakh for cars. |
| Capex Strategy | FY27 capex is expected to be similar to FY26's ₹800 crores; the company uses a mix of in-house and outsourced capacity through Tier-2 vendors and is not losing orders due to capex constraints. |
| Product Market Share | Market shares are: brake systems 34.5%, front fork 44%, shock absorbers 37%, and brake disc 42% in India. |
Guidance
- Capital expenditure in FY 27 is expected to remain similar to the FY 26 capex of ₹ 800 crores.
- Multiple SOPs are expected in Q2, Q3, and Q4 across brakes, castings, battery packs, suspension, and driveshaft programs.
- Expect significant pickup in the Shendra casting business by Q4 FY 27.
- Expect better Q2 and Q3 margins as commodity cost pass-throughs are settled.
