From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Guidance Revision | Management maintains existing guidance despite strong Q1, noting H2 growth rates will moderate due to a higher base post GST rationalization last year. |
| Margin Sustainability | Current margins are sustainable due to back-to-back price pass-through arrangements for raw materials like plastics, and low exposure to inflationary electronic components. |
| Greenfuel Margins | Q1 EBITDA margin of 23% included a ~INR 3 crore one-off tooling revenue; normalized operational margin is around 20%, expected to be sustainable. |
| Growth Drivers (Bajaj Auto) | Strong revenue growth from Bajaj Auto (64% y-o-y) is driven by wallet share expansion, entry into new models, and growth in platforms like Chetak. |
| Mechatronics Division Ambition | Aiming for revenue of ~INR 400 crore this fiscal and ~INR 1,000 crore by FY31; steady-state EBITDA margin for the vertical is guided at 14-15% over the next 12-24 months. |
| Capex and Funding | Full-year capex guidance is INR 300 crore, majority to be funded from internal accruals, with ~10-12% for specific JVs/subsidiaries to be debt-funded. |
| 20% Margin Vision | The 20% margin is a direction to inch closer to, not a firm target; margin expansion will come from premiumization, localization, and new technology products. |
