Global and Indian Auto Market

Overview

The global automotive industry faced a dynamic environment in FY 2024-25, shaped by shifting geopolitical factors, evolving trade policies and technological advancements. While demand remained resilient, the sector experienced the impact of tariff changes and supply chain realignments. Notably, the increasing push towards hybrid vehicles along with efficiency improvements in Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) continued to define the industry's trajectory.

Meanwhile, the Indian automotive market sustained its growth momentum, driven by strong domestic demand, policy support and increasing localization. The rise in domestic sourcing (local-to-local) has been a key trend, reinforcing India's position as a strategic manufacturing hub.

A significant highlight of the year was the successful launch of multiple new customer programs, including Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and Trunk Opening Closing Device (TOCD) and the onboarding of key Korean automotive players. Additionally, we expanded our applications portfolio to include Seat Motors, Gearbox Actuators (GBA) and Park Lock Actuators (PLA), reinforcing our commitment to technological diversification and customer-centric innovation.

Business Performance and Growth

During FY 2024-25, we delivered strong performance across key financial and operational parameters. Our revenue grew by 16%, supported by robust demand across multiple segments, new product launches and deeper customer engagements in Europe and Asia. Our Profitability (PAT) grew by 153%, reflecting our focus on efficiency, backward integration, value-added solutions and product portfolio expansion.

We would like to thank our parent company – Igarashi Japan – under the leadership of Mr. Keiichi Igarashi for extending support in expanding into the new-gen Body Application and leveraging East Asian customer relationships for Safety Application.

Impact of Broad-banding over the last 5 years

• Reduced product concentration for one application (ETC) from 90% to ~75% with inclusion of other Engine Air Management

Applications such as EGR, WGA, VGT, CCV and other Body and Safety Applications

Expansion into tech-neutral Auto applications, namely Body and Safety Applications, non-Auto ECD applications

• Deeper penetration into the domestic market with domestic revenue share rising from 17% to 46% and Actuator's domestic revenue share increasing from 1% to 24%

Diversification into Non-Auto applications (ECD), increasing revenue share from 1% to 20% of overall revenue

This was possible due to the extensive efforts and able leadership of the top management under the Managing Director, Mr. R. Chandrasekaran.

I extend my appreciation and congratulations to the entire team.

Geopolitical Tariff Impact & Strategic Opportunity

The evolving global trade environment – marked by rising tariffs, geopolitical tension and supply chain disruptions – is

Our team achieved an impressive milestone by developing the EPB actuator, a technology-neutral motor, within a 9-month period. This product marks our strategic entry into the East Asian market. prompting a strategic realignment in global sourcing. OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers are increasingly re-evaluating their dependency on massive global supply bases, seeking resilient, agile and cost-effective manufacturing alternatives. India has emerged as a preferred destination in this transformation, supported by its robust engineering talent, improving infrastructure and stable policy environment.

Our Company is actively aligned with this trend, enabling global customers to diversify their supply chains by offering localized, high-quality actuator and motor solutions that meet stringent international standards. This shift is further reinforced by India's strengthening trade relationships, including its position as the top contender for a forward-looking Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States. This strategic alignment is expected to offer long-term tariff benefits and solidify India's role as a critical node in the global automotive supply chain, presenting significant opportunities for sustainable growth.

Strategic Priorities

During the fiscal leveraging our internal capabilities on sustained growth and expanding horizons to increase our market share within the domestic automotive sector. We focused on technology integration, scalable manufacturing (backward integration),quality assurance, team skill development, streamlining operations, semi-automation in manufacturing and building finished goods inventory to ensure sustained growth and embrace upward market potential.

We collaborated with 12+ top Tier-1 customers globally and domestically to develop over 25 new Engine Air Management programs with an approximate yield capacity of ~27 million motors over the next 3-4 years.

Simultaneously, we engaged in 15 plus applications programs in Safety and Body systems, expected to yield around 45 million motors over the same period, partnering with 10 Tier-1 customers both in India and worldwide.
