From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Margin Pressure and Recovery | Management stated there was a ~150 bps margin reduction in Q1 due to delays in realizing commodity cost recoveries from OEMs, but expects these recoveries in Q2, guiding to full-year EBITDA margin of 10.5-11%. |
| Growth Drivers and Order Book | Key growth drivers cited were increased wallet share with Maruti Suzuki and HMSI, growth from TVS and Suzuki 2-wheelers, and an order book of INR 2,500 crore (90% LED), with ~60% (~INR 1,500 crore) starting production in FY28. |
| Customer Mix and Diversification | Analysts noted flattish revenue from M&M despite high wallet share; management attributed it to product mix in the quarter. They emphasized a strategy of dominating wallet share with top 4-5 players in each automotive segment. |
| Capex and Mould Business | Capex guidance for FY27 was raised to INR 200-250 crore from INR 100-150 crore due to new order wins. Mould sales are targeted at INR 250-300 crore for FY27, up from INR 180-185 crore last year, with majority expected in H2. |
| Long-term Outlook and Technology | Management targets revenue of over INR 9,000 crore by FY30-31 with EBITDA margin ambition of ~13% in 3-4 years. They have access to advanced lighting technologies (e.g., dynamic, laser) via partner Stanley but see their adoption in India as a couple of years away. |
