Not disclosed, but heavily tied to the Indian automotive production volumes (17.2 million units in H1 FY26).
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on OEMs like Maruti Suzuki for a high percentage of market share in specific segments.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by diversification into EV motors and non-engine components like headliners to offset potential long-term declines in internal combustion engine (ICE) components.
