Sectorial Outlook
The expansion of the company is tied to the growth of the car sector and the broader growth of the rural economy. During the year 2021-22, the Indian auto component industry is rising as a prospective global automotive supplier with extremely excellent export potential to developing countries, but the domestic auto component industry has slowed due to the second and third waves of Covid’19. As we can see, the Indian auto component industry is returning to pre-crisis levels, with demand for some items exceeding pre-crisis levels.
Now, the government is fully extending great support for hybrid electric vehicles during the years 2021-2022, while also introducing stringent norms by introducing BS VI standards and safety norms during the years 2021-2022 below 150cc IC engine 3-wheeler vehicles and motorcycles, with completion by 2025 due to the slowdown effect in the Automobile Parts Industry, particularly 2 and 3 wheelers during these years.
The Company has very good opportunities because of long term business relationship with valued customers both in Domestic OEM’s and agricultural tractors and Replacement Market & Exports.
