22. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

(a)Industry structures and developments

Automotive industry is perceived as one of the key sectors of the economy. India's automotive industry is on the growth path. Due to its strong forward

and backward linkages with several key segments of the economy, automotive industry has a strong multiplier effect and acts as one of the drivers of economic growth.

The auto industry is highly competitive, consisting of organized as well as unorganized sectors and is highly fragmented with a significant number of small and medium-sized companies because of which the business rules are changing to meet the tough competition prevailing in the industry. Innovation, technological upgradation, and cost saving hold the key to success to meet the expectations of the exigent competitive circumstances. However, the Indian auto component industry has been navigating through a period of challenges.

During the financial year 2023-24, the industry produced a total of 28,434,742 vehicles including Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles (CVs), Three-Wheelers, Two-Whee l ers, and Quadricycles as against production of 25,940,344 vehicles in the financial year 2022-23, registering an aggregate growth of 9.6 percent.

The automotive industry continued its growth during the financial year 202324. The domestic sale of Passenger Vehicles improved by 8.4 percent in the financial year 2023-24 over the same period last year. The overall Commercial Vehicles segment grew by

0.6 percent in financial year 2023-24 as compared to the last financial year. The Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCVs) witnessed a growth of 4.0 percent and Light Commercial Vehicle segment decline 1.5 percent, during financial year 2024 over the same period last year.

During the financial year 2023-24, Two-Wheelers domestic sale registered a growth of 13.3 percent and export volumes declined by 5.3 percent over the last financial year. Within the Two-Wheelers segment, domestic sale of scooters and motorcycles witnessed a growth of 12.5 and 14 percent respectively, while sale of Mopeds grew by 9 percent as compared to the last year.

The domestic CV volumes had gained traction during the first half of financial

year 2023-24 due to healthy infrastructure spending aided by the allocation for capital spending in Union Budget 2023-24 and focus on the replacement of old vehicles under the green mobility. However, due to high base effect coupled with perceived slowdown in infrastructure activities ahead of the General elections 2024, resulted in subdued volumes for CV Industry.

In financial year 2023-24 growth was driven by mix of factors including enhanced model of availability, new product introductions, positive market, rural market recovery and overcoming challenges such as supply constraints of chips etc. PV segment saw demand shift towards SUV segment, that holds 50% market share which significantly contributed to the success.

Industry's increasing focus is now being put on vehicles operating with alternate fuels. Automobile Companies are pressing the accelerator on cars powered by CNG, Hybrid, Batteries and the new age hydrogen fuel cells.

(b) Opportunities and Threats The Parent Company continues to support the Company with its technological expertise. With widely recognized brands, superior technology, strong distribution network and a committed team of employees, the Company is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities and withstand the market challenges. The Company strives to create sustainable profitable growth by using superior technology and maintaining product quality and offering wide range of products at prices, which will give it a competitive edge in the market.

Major regulatory interventions, such as the accelerated transition to BSVI phase-II, RDE, WLTP adoption of electric vehicles, safety rules, scrappage policy and stringent vehicle standards are leading to a shift in vehicle technology. This is creating significant challenges and your Company perceives these challenges as potential opportunities. Your Company competes with many independent manufacturers and distributors of component parts. Management continues to develop and execute initiatives to meet the

challenges of the industry and to achieve its strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.

There are limited sets of customers in our business. Since, the competition is intense, we compete with suppliers both in the organized as well as unorganized segments. Technological edge, specialization, innovation and networking shall determine the success of the Company in this competitive environment. Further, the policies of the Government play a vital role in the development of the automobile sector. Your Company has been employing the practices to proactively map the impact of its activities on its performance and profitability from economic environment and social perspectives.

(c) Segment wise or product wise performance

The Company deals principally in only one segment i.e., automotive components. Therefore, segment-wise performance is not applicable. The Company is inter-alia engaged in the manufacturing and sale of Pistons, Piston Rings, Pins, Valve Seats and guides the performance. The geographical information in respect of revenue from customer is given below:

(d) Outlook

Though the financial year 2023-24 started on an optimistic note, auto industry continues to keep a close watch on geo-political developments, interest rates, fuel prices and inflation. Supply chain of parts continues to be an area of concern. The Financial Year 2024-25 is expected to witness moderate growth in single digit owing to the high base effect of previous year, inflationary pressures, routine price hikes and regulatory changes. The Company is expecting an year of consolidation for the Indian auto industry with an overall single digit growth over the previous year that should auger well for the Company.

The Indian Auto Industry is poised for growth amidst a mix of optimism and challenges. Manufacturers are gearing up with better supply chains and an array of models to meet diverse consumer demands. Economic growth favorable government policies and an anticipated good monsoon is expected to fuel demand, especially in rural areas and the commercial vehicle sector, which is closely linked to infrastructure projects and economic activity, including the automobile sector.

Multiple Government reforms continue to boost the auto sector such as, production incentive scheme (PLI), vehicle scrappage policy, which aim to reduce the number of old and defective vehicles, bringing down vehicular air pollutants, improving road and vehicular safety, all these interventions will have significant long-term perspective.

However, the auto sector is still grappling with fluctuating raw material prices of steel, aluminum, copper, precious metals and increasing fuel prices which are likely to impact the growth and fuel mix aspect of the automobile sector. Thus, this year is likely to be a challenging year for the auto component industry.

The Company will endeavor to revitalize in near future as demand for vehicles witnesses further growth. To remain competitive in the challenging and demanding environment, the benchmark needs to be kept high in anticipation of the stated and unstated needs of customers and markets.

(e) Risks and concern The Company operates in an environment, which is affected by various risks, some of which are controllable while some are outside the control of the Company. However, the Company has been taking appropriate measures to mitigate these risks on a continuous basis. Some of the risks that are potentially significant in nature and need careful monitoring are listed hereunder:

Macro Indicators: The Indian economy has been performing well

despite global challenges. The war in Ukraine, Israel-Hamas and its global implications will continue to have an impact on India. It has led to an increase in crude oil, cooking oil and commodity prices, which has in turn led to high inflation. With the RBI actively increasing interest rates, inflation has plateaued, the on-going geopolitical conflicts could possibly affect the auto industry in the medium and short-term. Raw material prices: Our profitability and cost effectiveness may be affected due to rise in the prices of raw materials and other inputs.

Foreign Currency Risks: Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse impact on the Company.

Technical Intensive Industry: The

automobile industry is a technical intensive industry and thus faced with a constant demand for new designs, knowledge of nascent technology to meet market requirements.

Increasing competition: Increasing competition in the auto equipment sector, may put some pressure on the market share.

(f) Adequacy of Internal Control Systems

The Company has an Audit Committee headed by a non-execu t i ve Independent Director, inter-alia, to oversee the Company's financial reporting process, disclosure of financial information, performance of statutory and internal auditors, functions, internal control systems, related party transactions, investigation relating to suspected fraud or failure of internal audit control, to name a few, as well as other areas requiring mandatory review as per provisions of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, with the stock exchanges.
