Notes:
The ratios have been computed as follows:
1. Basic EPS: the net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for bonus issue that has changed the number of equity shares
outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
2. Diluted EPS: the net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the
weighted average number of potential equity shares outstanding during the period/year, adjusted for bonus issue that has changed the number of equity
shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
3. Total borrowings include Current liabilities - Financial liabilities - Borrowings and Non-current liabilities - Financial liabilities - Borrowings.
194. Net Worth has been defined as the aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities premium account

miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the restated statement of assets and liabilities, but does not include reserves created out of revaluation
of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation. Further, net worth has been computed as a sum of equity share capital, equity component of
compulsorily convertible preference shares, reserves and surplus as of the last day of relevant period/year minus other comprehensive expense for the
period/year. For reconciliation of Net worth, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-NON-
GAAP MEASURES” on page 376.
5. Net asset value per equity share is calculated as Net worth divided by total of number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of period/year and

changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For reconciliation of net asset value per equity share,
see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-NON-GAAP MEASURES” on page 376.

Risk Factors
Specific attention of the Bidders is invited to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 35 to have an informed view before making an
investment decision. Bidders are advised to read the risk factors carefully before taking an investment decision in the Offer.
Set forth below are the top 10 risk factors applicable to our Company, in their order of materiality that could cause actual results
to differ materially from our expectations:
Sr. No. Risk Factors
1. We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.
2. Currently, we are significantly dependent on the mobility segment which contributed 84.31%, 85.69%, 85.64% and 80.37% of
our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any
downturn, cyclical fluctuation, or adverse development in this segment could materially impact our business, results of
operations, and financial condition.
3. Our results are affected by demand for gensets in India and globally, i.e., the industrial segment, which contributed 15.69%,
14.31%, 14.36% and 19.63% of our revenue from operations for three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, respectively. Any sustained decline in market acceptance or a shift towards alternative energy could materially impact our
business, operations, and financial condition.
4. We are highly dependent on sales of our ISG ECU, and integrated ECUs combining ISG and Electronic Fuel Injection Electronic
Control (“ISG+EFI ECU”) products in the two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry which contributed 65.04%, 64.34%, 59.03% and
52.37% of our revenue from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Any reduction in demand or shift to alternative technologies could materially impact our business, results of operations, and
financial condition.
20Sr. No. Risk Factors
5. We have a high degree of revenue concentration with a small number of customers, particularly, a key customer, TVS Motor
Company Limited (“TVS Motor”), which contributed 76.61%, 80.46%, 83.46% and 79.05% of our revenue from operations for
the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which exposes us to significant business risk
if demand from these customers reduces or commercial relationships change which could have a significant negative effect on
our business, profitability, and cash flows.
6. Significant changes in the Indian two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry arising from electrification, including shifts in component
value and industry structure, could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth
prospects.
7. Inability to consistently meet in-field quality expectations for our products could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
8. Inability to meet consistent and timely delivery expectations of our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business,
reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects
9. Inability to ensure our product propositions remain more compelling than those of competitors may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
10. Inability to continually generate innovative and compelling technologies or products could adversely affect our business,
financial performance, and prospects for growth.

(“SEBI”) to Association of Investment Bankers of India, instructing lead managers to ensure that companies provide financial
statements prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) for all the three years and stub period.
The Restated Financial Information have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Ind AS as prescribed under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended
from time to time), presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, as applicable to the
financial statements and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
For further information, see “Restated Financial Information” beginning on page 304.
There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide
reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences
or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult
your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our Company’s financial data. For details in connection with
risks involving differences between Ind AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS see “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between
Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar and may consider
them material to their assessment of our financial condition.” on page 70. The degree to which the financial information
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level
of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices, the Companies Act, 2013, Ind AS and the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are
due to rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal place and all percentage figures have
been rounded off to two decimal places. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry
sources are rounded off to other than two decimal points in their respective sources, such figures appear in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus as rounded-off to such number of decimal points as provided in such respective sources. All figures in
29diagrams and charts, including those relating to financial information, operational metrics and key performance indicators,
have been rounded to the nearest decimal place, whole number, thousand or million, as applicable.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, or ratios (excluding certain operational metrics) as set forth
in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” beginning on pages 35, 244 and 365, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been
calculated on the basis of amounts derived from our Restated Financial Information, as applicable.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain Non-GAAP financial measures relating to our financial performance, namely EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%),
Profit for the period/year margin (%), Tangible net worth, Total Debt, Capital Employed, RoCE (%), RoE (%), Debt-Equity
Ratio, Net worth, RoNW (%) and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Equity Share (collectively, “Non-GAAP Measures”) and
certain other industry metrics and financial parameters have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are a
supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, IFRS
or US GAAP. Further, these Non-GAAP measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind
AS, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for
the year or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability
or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP.
These Non-GAAP financial measures and other information relating to financial performance may not be computed on the
basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial
measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are not measures of operating
performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS. Such supplemental financial and operational information should not be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our Restated Financial Information disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”,
“Other Financial Information” and “Risk Factors – We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain non-
generally accepted accounting principle financial measures and certain other industry measures related to our operations and
financial performance. These Non-GAAP measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is
applicable across the industry in which we operate, and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related
statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.” on pages 365, 363 and 70,
respectively.
Currency and Units of Presentation
All references to:
• “Rupees” or “₹” or “INR” or “Rs.” are to Indian Rupee, the official currency of the Republic of India;
• “USD” or US$” or “$” are to United States Dollar, the official currency of the United States of America;
• “Euro” or “€” are to Germany, the official currency of the Federal Republic of Germany; and
• “CHF” are to Swiss Franc, the official currency of the Switzerland.
Our Company has presented certain numerical information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in “million” units or in whole
numbers where the numbers have been too small to represent in millions. One million represents 1,000,000, one billion
represents 1,000,000,000, and one trillion represents 1,000,000,000,000. However, where any figures that may have been
sourced from third-party industry sources are expressed in denominations other than millions, such figures appear in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus in such denominations as provided in the respective sources.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are
due to rounding off. All per share and percentage figures have been rounded off to one/ two decimal places. However, where
any figures may have been sourced from third-party industry sources, such figures may be rounded off to such number of
decimal places as provided in such respective sources.
Exchange Rates
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains conversion of certain other currency amounts into Indian Rupees that have been
presented solely to comply with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. These conversions should not be construed as a representation
that these currency amounts could have been, or can be converted into Indian Rupees, at any particular rate or at all.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information with respect to the exchange rate between the Rupee and
respective foreign currencies:

32FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements contained in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding
our expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are “forward-looking statements”.
These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”,
“expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “seek to”, “shall”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “propose” “will”, “will continue”,
“will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our expected financial condition,
results of operations, business, prospects, strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All forward-
looking statements whether made by us or any third parties in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on our current plans,
estimates, presumptions and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement, including but not limited
to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry in which our Company has businesses and our ability to respond to them, our
ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks,
general economic and political conditions, in India and globally, which have an impact on our business activities or investments,
the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws,
regulations and taxes and changes in competition in our industry, incidence of natural calamities and/or acts of violence.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited
to, the following:
1. We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.
2. Currently, we are significantly dependent on the mobility segment which contributed 84.31%, 85.69%, 85.64% and
80.37% of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Any downturn, cyclical fluctuation, or adverse development in this segment could materially impact our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
3. Our results are affected by demand for gensets in India and globally, i.e., the industrial segment, which contributed 15.69%,
14.31%, 14.36% and 19.63% of our revenue from operations for three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023, respectively. Any sustained decline in market acceptance or a shift towards alternative energy could
materially impact our business, operations, and financial condition.
4. We are highly dependent on sales of our ISG ECU, and integrated ECUs combining ISG and Electronic Fuel Injection
Electronic Control (“ISG+EFI ECU”) products in the two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry which contributed 65.04%,
64.34%, 59.03% and 52.37% of our revenue from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023, respectively. Any reduction in demand or shift to alternative technologies could materially impact our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
5. We have a high degree of revenue concentration with a small number of customers, particularly, a key customer, TVS
Motor Company Limited (“TVS Motor”), which contributed 76.61%, 80.46%, 83.46% and 79.05% of our revenue from
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which exposes us to
significant business risk if demand from these customers reduces or commercial relationships change which could have a
significant negative effect on our business, profitability, and cash flows.
6. Significant changes in the Indian two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry arising from electrification, including shifts in
component value and industry structure, could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and growth prospects.
7. Inability to consistently meet in-field quality expectations for our products could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
8. Inability to meet consistent and timely delivery expectations of our customers may have a material adverse effect on our
business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects
9. Inability to ensure our product propositions remain more compelling than those of competitors may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
10. Inability to continually generate innovative and compelling technologies or products could adversely affect our business,
financial performance, and prospects for growth.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS
1. We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.
We develop and offer proprietary technologies through a chronological model, working closely with key “anchor” customers,
i.e. key early customers who are willing to help us test, validate, and potentially adopt our new technologies across their
organizations to commercialize new propositions. This approach subjects our business to distinct risks at each stage of a
product’s development and market adoption cycle. As product lines mature, the nature and prominence of risks evolve. The
risk profile of our business is therefore dynamic, shifting according to the mix of products at different stages and their relative
strategic and revenue importance. As our portfolio matures, new risks emerge and certain risks recede, while risk–reward
considerations change as we scale or launch new propositions.
A core part of our business model is working with anchor customers. The success of each new proposition we develop often
relies on securing and maintaining the support of these anchor customers. If we are unable to demonstrate clear value to anchor
customers, or if they choose to withdraw support at any stage, it may be difficult or impossible for such products to achieve
wider market adoption, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.
Each of our products progresses through a series of stages from initial concept to broad market adoption, and each stage
introduces specific risks that may materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects:
• Technology Proposition Stage: We may not secure sufficient customer interest if our propositions lack clear differentiation
or value, or if we cannot obtain backing from key decision makers in anchor customers.
35• Proof-of-Concept Stage: Product demonstrations may not satisfy rigorous customer performance requirements,
particularly where we have limited experience, resulting in rejection of our proposition.
• Commercial Business Win Stage: We may not secure initial orders or letters of intent if we cannot meet customers’ quality,
delivery, or pricing expectations, or if we fail to compete effectively with alternatives.
• Initial Introduction Stage: Integration into customer systems exposes us to risks of engineering or schedule delays, or
failure to meet evolving technical milestones.
• Early Growth Stage: We remain dependent on a limited number of anchor customers, increasing revenue concentration
risk. Intellectual property challenges, if lost, could erode our competitive advantage.
• Broader Market Adoption Stage: Broader commercialization heightens competition from established and new entrants
and raises the stakes for continual product improvement. Any shortfall in product quality, delivery, or post-deployment
support can damage customer trust and limit expansion.
• Sustaining Industry Position (till the technology stays relevant): With broad adoption, competitors may challenge our
market position or customers may develop solutions internally, eroding our market share, pricing, or profitability. Risks
from earlier stages, particularly customer concentration, competition, and quality, may persist or intensify.
For further details in relation to the stages, see “Our Business – Overview – Table 1” on page 247.
Our risk exposure has shifted over time as our product portfolio and customer adoption have developed. For example, in 2016,
our sensorless communication (“SLC”) based integrated starter generator (“ISG”) proposition for the engine-powered
two/three-wheeler sector was at the Technology Proposition stage with Proof-of-Concept demonstrations, while our Genset
Controller (“GC”) proposition, after being commercialized in 2014, was entering Early Growth stage, and our SmartIgn
products were already in the Broader Market Adoption Stage. At this point, the most significant risks related to dependency on
anchor customers in the genset sector, concentration of products within the GC range, and heightened competition and
leadership challenges within the two/three-wheeler and genset markets. By 2020, the risk profile shifted toward managing
Growth Stage, particularly with SLC-based ISG, while managing risks related to Sustaining Industry Position in more mature
product areas.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we are developing new offerings in the power tools sector and now face
a dynamic risk environment which includes dependency on anchor customers for power tools and 2W/3W sector, product
concentration risks in SLC-based ISG control units, intensified competition, rapid innovation pressures in electric mobility,
and ongoing risks around leadership and market dependence for GCs, SmartIgn, and the genset market.
This dynamic risk landscape requires continual adaptation as we develop and commercialize new technology propositions in
response to changing customer, market, and regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that we will successfully
manage these evolving risks and, should we fail to do so, our operations, financial condition, and prospects may be adversely
affected.
2. Currently, we are significantly dependent on the mobility segment which contributed 84.31%, 85.69%, 85.64% and
80.37% of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Any downturn, cyclical fluctuation, or adverse development in this segment could materially impact our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
As highlighted in “- We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and
adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, our business risk profile changes over time
depending on the development stage of each technology proposition. Certain risks become more prominent during the “Broader
Market Adoption Stage” which is the period when our technology is being adopted more widely by the market, but our revenue
is still concentrated amongst a limited set of key customers or within a single sector. During this stage, we are particularly
exposed to the businesses of these anchor customers or sectors because they account for a large share of our business.
Our SLC-based ISG technology proposition, which is currently in the Broader Market Adoption Stage, is a major revenue
contributor and is primarily supplied to the two-wheeler / 3-wheelers (“2/3Ws”) industry. The table below highlights the extent
of this concentration for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
June 30, 2025
Revenue generated from the mobility 1,832.59 5,641.32 4,544.40 3,399.83

(B)
Revenue generated from mobility 84.31 85.69 85.64 80.37
segment as a percentage of revenue from
operations (%) (C=A/B)
Any changes in the 2/3W industry (“2/3W” refers to both engine-powered and electric 2/3Ws vehicles, including motorcycles,
36scooters, auto-rickshaws, electric two/three wheelers and electric bicycles) whether due to economic conditions, regulatory
policy, consumer demand, or supply chain disruptions, can have a significant impact, potentially negative, on our business,
results of operations, and financial condition.
A contraction in the 2/3W industry, for example due to declining consumer spending, rising interest rates, new regulations, or
shifts towards electrification, could reduce demand for some of our key products. Similarly, geopolitical developments or
consolidation among customers may further limit the number of potential buyers, making us even more dependent on a few
large accounts. Given the contribution to our revenue from customers in the 2/3 W industry, it may be challenging to quickly
diversify and reduce this exposure in the short to medium term. Any adverse change affecting the 2/3W market could therefore
materially affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.
3. Our results are affected by demand for gensets in India and globally, i.e., the industrial segment, which contributed
15.69%, 14.31%, 14.36% and 19.63% of our revenue from operations for three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any sustained decline in market acceptance or a shift towards alternative energy
could materially impact our business, operations, and financial condition.
Our business in the generator (genset) industry, i.e., the industrial segment, is positioned at two key stages in our product
development cycle. Our genset controllers are in the “Sustaining Industry Position”, where our products are already widely
adopted, but we face ongoing risks from market changes and competition. Our electronic fuel injection (“EFI”) proposition for
natural-gas based home standby gensets, by contrast, is in the “Early Growth Stage” meaning it is gaining traction but not yet
established, and revenue remains concentrated on a limited set of customers or applications. For details in relation to the stages
please see “- We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely
affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35. These two genset-related propositions together continue
to be an important, though smaller, contributor to our performance compared to our SLC-based ISG proposition for the 2/3W
industry.
The commercial relevance of our industrial segment can be seen from the following table for the three months ended June 30,
2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

The genset sector is now facing a number of headwinds including:
• Regulatory changes and environmental concerns: Governments, especially in large markets like India, are imposing
tighter restrictions on diesel generators, imposing stricter emission norms and encouraging cleaner, alternative energy
sources.
• Technological transition: The global genset market is expected to shift toward cleaner, smarter, and more flexible
technologies between 2025 and 2030. This transformation will be driven by tightening environmental regulations, rising
fuel costs, and increasing urban noise restrictions (Source: CRISIL Report)
Should these trends gather pace, demand for diesel gensets in India could decline. This is particularly relevant given the
country's high dependence on diesel for distributed power generation, exposure to diesel price volatility, and evolving
regulatory landscape. For example, in Delhi, the use of diesel gensets is banned during high pollution months in line with local
policy shifts aimed at reducing air pollution. These developments could significantly affect sales of our genset controllers. As
a result, our operations remain closely tied to the ongoing relevance and adoption of gensets across industries. Any significant
reduction in genset demand whether due to faster adoption of alternative power solutions, further tightening of regulatory
standards, or decreasing customer preference for genset could materially and adversely affect our revenue, business
performance, and financial stability.
4. We are highly dependent on sales of our ISG ECU, and integrated ECUs combining ISG and Electronic Fuel Injection
Electronic Control (“ISG+EFI ECU”) products in the two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry which contributed 65.04%,
64.34%, 59.03% and 52.37% of our revenue from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any reduction in demand or shift to alternative technologies could materially impact
our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
As highlighted in “- We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and
adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, our SLC-based ISG technology proposition
is currently in the “Broader Market Adoption Stage” This means that while adoption is increasing and business is scaling
37rapidly, our revenue is still heavily concentrated on core products and core market verticals, such as ISG and ISG + EFI ECU,
making us vulnerable to changes in that sector.
The below table illustrates the dependence of ISG and ISG + EFI ECUs on our revenue from operations for the three months
ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
June 30, 2025
Revenue generated from sales of ISG and 1,413.66 4,235.60 3,132.61 2,215.50
ISG+EFI ECUs (₹ million) (A)
Revenue from operations (₹ million) (B) 2,173.57 6,583.63 5,306.53 4,230.28
ISG and ISG+EFI ECU revenue as % of 65.04 64.34 59.03 52.37
operations (%) (C=A/B)
While we continue to invest in strengthening our ISG proposition, such as our ISG+EFI controller our ability to continue
growing or even maintain this revenue base depends on sustained commercial acceptance, continued innovation, and
responsiveness to evolving customer and regulatory expectations. Any advancement or increased adoption of alternative
solutions may directly reduce demand for our ISG ECU or ISG+EFI ECUs.
Dependence on a single product line comprising ISG, EFI and ISG+EFI ECUs also creates operational and supply chain risks.
Issues such as sourcing difficulties for critical materials, production delays, defects resulting in large-scale warranty claims, or
delays in customer deliveries could lead to abrupt reductions in both sales and profitability. Given the scale of revenue derived
from this product line, any decline in their sales could have an immediate and outsized impact on our financial performance,
and it may be challenging to replace lost revenue with other products in the short or medium term.
Accordingly, as long as this product line remains our main product line within the high-volume 2/3W industry, our business is
acutely vulnerable to market acceptance trends, competitive forces, operational risks, and the longer-term pace of industry
transition away from starter motors.
In addition, any defects or bugs in the software or electronic control units of ISG, EFI and ISG+EFI ECUs systems could result
in poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, or failure to meet emission standards. Such risks may lead to product
recalls, warranty claims, regulatory penalties, or reputational harm, especially as regulatory requirements for emissions and
safety become more rigorous. While there have been no material instances which resulted in major product recalls or resulted
in regulatory actions or negative publicity during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, any
adverse developments affecting ISG, EFI and ISG+EFI ECU sales going forward could materially impact our business, results
of operations, financial condition, and prospects for future growth.
5. We have a high degree of revenue concentration with a small number of customers, particularly, a key customer, TVS
Motor Company Limited (“TVS Motor”), which contributed 76.61%, 80.46%, 83.46% and 79.05% of our revenue from
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which exposes us to
significant business risk if demand from these customers reduces or commercial relationships change which could have
a significant negative effect on our business, profitability, and cash flows.
As explained in - “We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and
adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, customer concentration risk is a natural
consequence of the “Broader Market Adoption Stage” in our business journey. During this phase, rapid market expansion for
new propositions, such as our SLC-based ISG for the 2/3W industry, often relies on our relationships with our anchor customers
who are early adopters.
TVS Motor is our most significant customer, having adopted our SLC-based ISG proposition since 2018. The table below
reveals the extent of our customer concentration for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

38Notes:
1. The list of customers may vary from fiscal to fiscal.
2. For three months ended June 30, 2025, our top 10 customers were TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto Limited, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited,
Briggs and Stratton LLC, and DEIF India Private Limited amongst others. While we applied to all of our top 10 customers (for
three months ended June 30, 2025) for inclusion of their names in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have only received
consent from the customers mentioned herein.
3. For Fiscal 2025, our top 10 customers were TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto Limited, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, Briggs and Stratton
LLC, and DEIF India Private Limited amongst others While we applied to all of our top 10 customers (Fiscal 2025), for inclusion
of their names in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have only received consent from the customers mentioned herein.
4. For Fiscal 2024, our top 10 customers were TVS Motor, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, DEIF A/s, Briggs and Stratton LLC, Bajaj
Auto Limited and DEIF India Private Limited amongst others. While we applied to all of our top 10 customers (Fiscal 2024) for
inclusion of their names in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have only received consent from the customers mentioned herein.
5. For Fiscal 2023, our top 10 customers were TVS Motor, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, Briggs and Stratton LLC, DEIF A/s and
DEIF India Private Limited amongst others. While we applied to all of our top 10 customers (Fiscal 2023) for inclusion of their
names in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have only received consent from the customers mentioned herein.
While our strategy is to take our technology propositions to leaders of established markets, this approach naturally results in a
limited customer base and high revenue concentration. The loss or reduction of business from any major customer, especially
our largest account, would materially affect our results.
Our customers, including TVS Motor and other major customers are not contractually required to make minimum purchases
or exclusively source products from us. They can adjust their order volumes or select alternative solutions at any time, according
to market or business conditions. This leaves us exposed to fluctuations in demand, substitution by alternative technologies,
price-based competition, changes in purchasing preferences, or shifts in strategic priorities by our customers.
While we have not experienced any material loss of a major customer in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024, or 2023 that has adversely affected our operations or results. However, we cannot guarantee we will continue to
retain our existing customer base, expand our customer base and diversify our customer portfolio. Should we lose business
from TVS Motor, or any other major customers, it would be challenging to replace lost revenues quickly given the concentrated
nature of our customer base. Furthermore, successful implementations of our propositions with additional market leaders are
not guaranteed. Until then, we remain substantially exposed to customer concentration risk, which could have a significant
negative effect on our business, profitability, and cash flows.
6. Significant changes in the Indian two/three-wheeler (2/3W) industry arising from electrification, including shifts in
component value and industry structure, could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and growth prospects.
The Indian 2/3W industry is experiencing a strong shift towards electrification, which presents significant risks for our business.
Our revenue remains highly dependent on supplying products for internal combustion engine (“ICE”) powered 2/3W, making
this transition a material risk.
Our motor controller and ECU propositions for electric 2/3W vehicles are in the “Early Growth” stage as highlighted in “- We
are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35. While our products for electric 2/3Ws are in series production and
field deployment, they may not yet be sufficiently differentiated or compelling to drive widespread adoption across multiple
OEMs. If our offerings fall short on cost, quality, delivery or performance requirements, our ability to scale within the electric
vertical will remain limited.
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

Revenue generated from electric 2/3W 5.33 1.01 0.07 0.01
industry as a percentage of revenue from
mobility segment (%)
According to the CRISIL Report, EV penetration is rising at a rapid pace. This industry trend could limit the share of the
electric 2/3W vehicle market accessible to external suppliers like us and further intensify competition. As a result, we may not
ultimately achieve the same level of commercial relevance in the electric 2/3W industry as we currently enjoy in the ICE sector.
Our expertise, customer relationships, and historical success factors in the ICE sector do not guarantee similar achievements
in the evolving electric market. Rising electrification, if not matched by strong market acceptance of our electric vehicle
propositions, may result in a significant reduction in our market relevance within the 2/3W industry overall.
Moreover, if OEMs continue to build critical powertrain components in-house or if we fail to deliver compelling, competitive
39and innovative solutions that meet evolving market requirements, the total addressable market for our products may contract.
This market concentration could hamper our future growth trajectory, reduce revenue, and adversely impact our business
operations, financial condition, and long-term prospects as the industry continues to evolve.
7. Inability to consistently meet in-field quality expectations for our products could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
Many of our products, particularly controllers and other electronic components, are critical for our customers’ applications,
especially those of our anchor customers. This places us in sectors with stringent requirements and expectations for reliability,
such as automotive and industrial. Our products are assessed by customer-specified standards, such as failures per million units
(parts per million, or ppm) in automotive, or by percentage failure rates in industrial segments.
Quality risks can vary depending on the commercial stage of a product. Early-stage issues often arise from factors such as
incomplete validation in customer equipment, design modifications, or isolated manufacturing errors. Unless resolved
promptly, these quality concerns can undermine customer confidence and limit the prospects for wider adoption. As products
mature and adoption broadens, risks tend to relate more to the maintenance of steady-state quality and the recurrence of failures
due to design or manufacturing weaknesses, or ineffective root cause analysis. Our ability to manage quality at all stages also
depends on the quality of materials and components supplied by our vendors.
To ensure quality, our customers routinely audit our manufacturing processes and facilities, both prior to placing orders and as
part of ongoing supplier assessments. These audits typically review our manufacturing capability, quality control systems, and
compliance with customer requirements, and may result in recommendations for improvement. There have been no adverse
audit findings, product recalls, liabilities, or significant quality incidents during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Isolated quality issues are not uncommon with new product launches. For example, at the initial market entry of our genset
controller and ISG propositions in Fiscal 2020, we faced limited product recalls due to specification deviations during customer
validation. Since then, our operations have not experienced similar incidents or significant liabilities. Failures to maintain
quality standards may result in regulatory action, loss of certification, interruption of supply, warranty claims, contractual
breaches, or reputational harm. In competitive markets, even rare quality failures can prompt customers to seek alternative
suppliers and negatively impact commercial relationships and our market position.
Any significant failure to meet in-field quality expectations whether an isolated early event or a later steady-state issue could
have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
8. Inability to meet consistent and timely delivery expectations of our customers may have a material adverse effect on our
business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
The markets we operate in are highly dynamic, marked by shifts in user preferences, regulatory developments, macro-economic
changes, and competitive pressures. These factors drive rapid and often unpredictable changes in our customers’ delivery
expectations, especially those of anchor customers during the “Early Growth” and “Broader Market Adoption Stage” of a new
proposition as highlighted in “- We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially
and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35.
Several factors may impede our ability to meet these dynamic delivery requirements. These include insufficient manufacturing
capacity to manage varying customer demand, disruptions or delays in the supply of raw materials, and any other event that
restricts the planned operation of our facilities. Delivery failures, whether isolated or systemic, may cast doubt among anchor
and potential customers about the readiness of our proposition for wider adoption, or even its continued suitability for broader
implementation. Such incidents can also prompt customers to consider alternative suppliers, potentially eroding our market
share.
We may not always be able to meet all dynamic delivery requirements, particularly as our customer base and the scale of our
operations grow. Furthermore, any shortfall in timely delivery or inability to consistently meet customer quality expectations
may result in a loss of customer confidence in favour of competitors.
While we have not faced any significant delivery shortfalls resulting in business loss or claims during the three months ended
June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, as our operations expand, there can be no assurance that such events will not
occur in future. Any significant failure to meet delivery expectations may have a material adverse effect on our business,
reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects for future growth.
9. Inability to ensure our product propositions remain more compelling than those of competitors may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
The acceptance and implementation of our product propositions critically depends on our ability to deliver offerings that
40consistently appeal to existing and potential customers. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and evolving,
with frequent changes in customer preferences, rapid innovation cycles, and significant shifts in technology, often driven by
regulatory expectations in the geographies we service.
We face competition from both established industry players and new entrants, each seeking to introduce alternative products,
emerging technologies, attractive pricing options, and enhanced features for existing products/models. If our overall value
proposition does not continue to stand out, whether through innovation, proven quality, cost-effectiveness, or reliable delivery,
there is a risk that customers may select competitors' products for new or expanded programmes.
Our customers make careful, ongoing assessments when considering wider or long-term implementation of our propositions.
If our offerings fail to remain the preferred option, we risk losing opportunities for broader adoption, experiencing reduced
market share, and, over time, facing a decline in the relevance of our solutions within the industry.
Failure to invest in research and development, proactively respond to changes in the competitive and regulatory environment,
and ensuring our products evolve with customer requirements could result in the loss of existing business, missed growth
opportunities, and declines in both our reputation and financial performance. The evolving market landscape means further
entities may develop competing propositions in the future. The following table identifies key competitors for some of our main
products according to the CRISIL Report:
Product Key Competitors
EFI ECU Astemo, Bosch, Vitesco, Varroc-Dellorto, Marelli and Mikyni
amongst others.
ISG Shindengen and Denso
ISG+EFI controllers Shindengen, Astemo
Genset Controllers DeepSea, SmartGen, ComAp, Datakom and Fortrust
Motor Control Units for small electric vehicles space Sterling-GTake, Bosch, Vitesco, and Varroc
Although we devote significant resources to managing these risks, including by cultivating customer loyalty and advancing our
technology offerings, there can be no assurance that our efforts will always be sufficient to maintain compelling differentiation
in the market or to protect our share against future competitive threats. Any inability to do so could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
10. Inability to continually generate innovative and compelling technologies or products could adversely affect our
business, financial performance, and prospects for growth.
Our success has historically depended on our ability to introduce innovative technology and products that unlock new markets
and drive widespread adoption. We have developed and launched several such offerings for ICE 2/3Ws and genset markets,
helping us establish leadership positions and achieve large-scale adoption in both markets. Notable examples include our
SmartIgn technology for carbureted engine-powered 2/3W, integration of electronic governing in genset controllers, and our
sensorless commutation (“SLC”) enabling motor control without position sensors.
Continued success depends on our ability to generate and commercialize differentiated solutions, often for new markets and
customer categories. As highlighted in “– We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may
materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, each new technology
proposition must progress through a defined sequence of stages, i.e., from technology proposition and proof of concept
demonstration, to commercial business win, initial introduction, early growth, broader market adoption and sustaining industry
proposition. Each stage introduces distinct risks: propositions must deliver meaningful differentiation to secure initial customer
buy-in; they must demonstrate robust field performance and integration to progress to commercial agreements; and they face
customer concentration, competition, and market acceptance risks as adoption widens. Any failure at these or subsequent stages,
whether due to technical, commercial, operational, or market-related factors, can limit our ability to open new markets and
grow our business. For further information, see “Our Business – Overview” on page 244.
There can be no assurance that we will always succeed in developing new and commercially viable technologies or products,
or that such innovations will successfully progress through each of the critical development, validation, and commercialisation
stages described above. Failure to do so or to maintain our track record of adoption could adversely affect our ability to expand
into new markets, increase our addressable market, sustain growth, and enhance our financial performance and long-term
prospects. Also see “- Impairment and discontinuation of capitalised projects may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.” on page 60.
11. We are currently dependent on our two manufacturing facilities in Pune, Maharashtra, for all of our production
requirements as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus which may expose us to regional and operational
risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial
condition.
Our operations are currently concentrated in manufacturing facility 1 (“MF1”) and manufacturing facility 2 (“MF2”) located
41at Pune, Maharashtra, India (MF1 and MF2, together the “Pune Facilities”). This geographic and operational concentration
exposes us to several risk including regional risks and adverse events specific to the state that may affect our ability to meet
customer commitments, maintain quality standards, or achieve planned production volumes. Any event impacting one or both
facilities could have an immediate and material impact on our sales, fulfilment timelines, and profitability.
Potential operational risks include:
• Forced or voluntary closures, including regulatory actions or local authority directives.
• Disruptions in the continuity of supply chains due to supplier failures, natural or man-made disasters, or logistical
bottlenecks.
• Manufacturing shutdowns, breakdown or failure of production equipment, equipment obsolescence, or compliance
requirements.
• Industrial accidents, safety incidents, or significant environmental events.
• Interruptions in the availability of essential utilities such as power and water, which, while not be material of our total
expenses, however, are critical for our operations.
• Changes in applicable local laws, regulations, safety standards or government policies.
Given the localised nature of Pune Facilities, our operations are also directly vulnerable to risks specific to Pune, Maharashtra,
India and the wider Maharashtra region including civil unrest, adverse economic or political developments, natural disasters,
and other unanticipated regional crises. Any significant social, political, or economic disruption at the state or local level, or
adverse changes in government policy, could further impair our operational resilience.
Although during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, we did not experience any significant
or major accident, prolonged shutdown, or major operational disruption at our Pune Facilities, there is no assurance that such
incidents will not occur in the future. Any significant interruption, whether from industrial accidents, supplier disruption,
equipment failure, or external events, may result in reduced production, higher costs (including for alternative sourcing or
logistics), missed customer commitments, lost revenue, or the potential loss of anchor customers.
Accordingly, continued reliance on our two Pune Facilities represents a material concentration risk, which could adversely
affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, and long-term growth prospects if any major disruptive event were to
occur. Please also see “ - Transitional risks associated with our new manufacturing facilities could adversely impact our
operations, sales, and financial condition” on page 66.
12. Our business and growth depend on the continued service and expertise of our Key Management Personnel, Senior
Management Personnel and engineering personnel. Loss of Key Management Personnel, or failure to attract or retain
qualified talent, may adversely impact our ability to innovate, execute strategies, and achieve growth.
Our ability to develop, commercialize, and maintain differentiated, critical-to-application control technologies depends
significantly on the direction provided by our Senior Management Personnel, several of whom possess strong technical
credentials and our engineering and technical personnel. Our success is also supported by a unique organizational culture which
attracts strong engineers from the various technical colleges in India. These individuals drive our strategic vision, enable
innovation, and ensure effective execution of growth strategies across multiple product platforms and market verticals.
We have consistently succeeded in recruiting and retaining talented engineers from leading institutions in India, including the
Indian Institutes of Technology (“IIT”), National Institutes of Technology (“NIT”), and Birla Institute of Technology and
Science (“BITS”). Our technocratic and inclusive culture plays a crucial role in not only retaining such personnel but also
supporting our competitive positioning and ability to deliver compelling technology-based solutions to market leaders.
The loss of the services of any key personnel or multiple, simultaneous departures from senior management could disrupt the
direction, alignment, and execution of our business strategies, and negatively affect our operations, product development
pipeline, customer relationships, and overall business performance.
Furthermore, competition for qualified professionals in India’s technology sector is intense, and there is no assurance that we
will be able to continue to attract or retain the specialized talent our business requires. Continued increases in industry-wide
salary levels to match market demand may lead to higher employee expectations; if not matched, this could increase voluntary
attrition. Rising compensation and benefits expenses can also impact our cost structure. Failure to adequately adjust to changing
market dynamics could result in the loss of key talent, further affecting our ability to execute and grow effectively.
Additionally, the departure of multiple key team members within a short period, whether from engineering teams or senior
leadership could result in wider ‘team risk’, affecting collaboration, and continuity on critical projects. This risk is heightened
during periods of organizational transition or rapid growth.
The table below sets forth details of our voluntary attrition rate as at the dates indicated:
42Particulars As at June 30, 2025* As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, As at March 31,
2024 2023
Voluntary Employee attrition rate (%) 3.12 10.41 12.83 19.31
KMP and SMP attrition rate (%) - - 11.76 -
Voluntary attrition of employees with 2.35 13.70 18.29 24.78
IITs, NITs, BITS educational
backgrounds (%)
* Not annualised.
Notes:
(1) Employee attrition rate is calculated as permanent employees resigned during the relevant period/year divided by average number
of permanent employees for the said period/year.
(2) KMP and SMP attrition rate is calculated as KMPs and SMPs resigned during the relevant period/year divided by Average number
of KMPs and SMPs for the said period/year.
(3) Attrition rate for employees from IITs, NITs and BITs educational backgrounds is calculated as permanent employees with IITs,
NITs, BITS educational backgrounds from engineering team Resigned during the relevant period/year divided by Average number
of permanent employees with IIT, NIT, BITS educational backgrounds from engineering team, for the said period/year.
Our inability to attract, retain or adequately replace Key Management Personnel and Senior Management Personnel in a timely
manner, or at all, may materially and adversely affect our business, growth prospects, results of operations, cash flows, and
financial condition.
13. Our total research and development spend as a percentage of our revenue from operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, were 6.04%, 6.74%, 9.51% and 10.28%, respectively. Our investments
in research and development may not always lead to commercially successful outcomes, which could adversely affect
our business operations, financial performance, and growth prospects.
Research and development (“R&D”) is central to our business strategy, supporting our ability to develop innovative control
technologies and new product offerings for diverse and evolving markets. We allocate significant resources to R&D in order
to maintain our technological leadership and deliver differentiated, critical-to-application solutions to our customers.
However, achieving successful outcomes from these investments is inherently uncertain. We may face substantial technological
and implementation challenges in our R&D initiatives such as delays in project execution, or the development of products that
ultimately do not meet required performance, quality, or safety standards, or fail to achieve market acceptance. Our ability to
meet our R&D objectives also depends on our capacity to attract, develop, and retain highly skilled engineers and technical
personnel. Competition for specialised R&D talent in India is intense and, as highlighted in the risk factor “- Our business and
growth depend on the continued service and expertise of our Key Management Personnel, Senior Management Personnel and
engineering personnel. Loss of Key Management Personnel, or failure to attract or retain qualified talent, may adversely
impact our ability to innovate, execute strategies, and achieve growth.” on page 42, any difficulty in attracting or retaining
such personnel may impede our ability to innovate and deliver new products effectively.
The table below sets forth details of our R&D spend as a percentage of revenue from operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

If our ongoing efforts in R&D fail to yield commercially viable results including as a result of challenges in maintaining a
skilled technical team, we may incur significant costs, and the business may not benefit from incremental revenue to offset
those investments. This could adversely impact our financial condition, profitability, and our ability to support further R&D or
operational needs. While historically, our R&D efforts have resulted in marketable products and have faced no instances during
three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 where we faced any significant issues in relation to product
development or research, there can be no assurance that future investments will always be successful or avoid material adverse
effects on our business, financial performance, or future growth prospects.
4314. Our business is directly dependent on commercial success and market acceptance of our customers’ end-use products.
Any decline in the demand, production, or acceptance of these products could adversely affect our business, operations,
financial condition, and growth prospects.
As highlighted in “- We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and
adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, our business model is closely linked to the
performance and acceptance of our customers’ end-use products, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors. Our core
offerings, control technologies, and ECUs are integrated as critical components in our customers’ final products. Factors that
affect our customers, including shifts in consumer preferences, macro-economic conditions, regulatory changes, technological
advances, and competitive dynamics, may therefore have a direct impact on us.
For instance, a reduction in end-user demand or changes in industry trends such as declining adoption of internal combustion
engine powered 2/3Ws, transitions away from specific powertrain systems, or tightening/loosening emissions standards could
lead to lower demand for our technologies and offerings. Additionally, setbacks such as product recalls, adverse regulatory
reviews, or failure of our customers’ products to meet market expectations could adversely affect our reputation, even if our
own technologies perform as intended.
We also remain exposed to the risk of technological or market shifts that favour solutions or systems not utilising our
technologies. As industry requirements and end-user expectations evolve, our customers may choose to develop or adopt
alternative technologies in-house or from other suppliers, further amplifying revenue volatility and reducing market share for
our solutions.
While we have not experienced any material decline in broad-based demand for our products during the three months ended
June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, our ongoing growth depends on the sustained market acceptance and
commercial success of our customers’ products in which our solutions are deployed. There is no assurance that these favourable
conditions will continue as we expand, or that our product and technology pipeline will always remain aligned with evolving
industry preferences, customer requirements, or regulatory frameworks.
Accordingly, any failure by our customers’ end-use products to achieve or maintain market acceptance, or any decline in their
commercial performance, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
15. Any failure to adequately protect our proprietary technical know-how or confidential information may result in the loss
of our competitive advantage and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition, and growth prospects.
Our ability to compete effectively in our chosen markets relies in part on our substantial technical know-how, including
proprietary manufacturing processes, advanced control algorithms, and confidential product designs. Much of this expertise is
the result of cumulative learning by our Promoters, Senior Management Personnel, and Key Managerial Personnel, coupled
with sustained investment in research and development. This knowledge both underpins our differentiated technology
propositions and supports our cost, quality, and innovation advantages.
A significant portion of our workforce, including key technical and engineering personnel, has access to sensitive design
information, manufacturing methodologies, and operational data. There is a risk that such proprietary information may be
intentionally or inadvertently disclosed to unauthorised parties, either while employed or after personnel leave, including to
competitor firms. While we maintain internal controls and confidentiality arrangements including employment contracts with
non-disclosure obligations there can be no assurance that such measures will always prevent leaks or unauthorised use of our
know-how.
If our confidential technical information is disclosed or becomes publicly available, there is a heightened risk that competitors
may replicate our solutions or exploit our processes, undermining our ability to sustain a competitive advantage. Furthermore,
it may be difficult, time-consuming, or costly to enforce our rights or pursue legal action to prevent unauthorised use once such
leakage occurs, especially in jurisdictions where protections for confidential information or intellectual property are limited.
Although we have not experienced any known leaks of confidential technical information during the three months ended June
30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, we cannot guarantee that such incidents will not occur in the future as we continue
to expand our workforce and business footprint. Any material breach of confidentiality or loss of proprietary know-how could
erode our competitive position, disrupt operations, and negatively affect our financial condition and prospects for future growth.
16. Significant increases, fluctuations in prices, shortages, or delays in the supply of primary raw materials could materially
and adversely affect our estimated costs, expenditures, production timelines, and overall financial performance.
Our business model involves sourcing and converting various raw materials including semiconductor components, printed
circuit boards (“PCBs”), casing, and motors amongst others, and packing and consumables such as solder materials into
finished ECUs for delivery to OEMs in the automotive and industrial sectors. A large proportion of these critical raw materials,
44particularly semiconductor components and PCBs, are imported, meaning our operations are strongly exposed to global supply
chains and international market volatility.
Raw material prices and availability are subject to a variety of factors outside our control. These include global supply-demand
dynamics, inflationary trends, geopolitical developments, trade restrictions, natural disasters, regulatory interventions, and
macro-economic shifts. In particular, the costs of metals (used in both our products and semiconductor manufacturing) and
plastic have seen a rising trend over time due to persistent global shortages, inflation and heightened demand in competing
sectors. Sustained input price escalation increases our manufacturing costs and could reduce our profitability unless we are able
to pass these costs through to our customers, which is not always possible. For example, global shortages and price surges in
semiconductors in recent years have significantly impacted electronics manufacturers worldwide, including those in our sector.
The following table sets out our dependence on key raw materials, as a percentage of total material costs for the three months
ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023:

Note:
(1) Others primarily include washers, bolts, and vent amongst others.
Sustained or sudden increases in the cost of these key raw materials could either reduce our profit margins (if we are unable to
pass on the increases to our customers) or erode competitiveness (if higher costs result in higher pricing for our solutions).
Volatility or disruption in global supply whether because of geopolitical tensions, supplier insolvency, logistics bottlenecks, or
regulatory changes could lead to shortages, directly delaying production schedules, delivery to customers, or new product
development.
As a result, persistent or sudden increases in the cost of metals and plastics may significantly raise our overall raw material
cost base over time. If we are unable to manage these rising costs either through efficiencies, pricing adjustments, or alternate
sourcing, our margins could decrease, and our competitiveness and profitability may be adversely affected.
These risks are particularly acute during periods of high growth or scale-up phases as highlighted in as highlighted in “ - We
are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, when our production needs and dependence on timely raw material
supplies are greatest. Any inability to secure essential raw materials in required quantities, within acceptable timelines and cost
parameters, may result in delayed customer deliveries, missed commitments, and adverse impacts on our reputation and
relationships with anchor customers.
While we proactively monitor supply chain risk and are developing alternate sourcing strategies (including potential
localization), we cannot guarantee that these measures will be sufficient to fully offset global or local disruptions. In particular,
the ongoing and cumulative pressure of metal and plastic cost inflation may present an ongoing challenge to our ability to
sustain margins and manage cost predictability. Any extended shortage or significant price fluctuation affecting critical raw
materials could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and future growth prospects.
17. We are significantly dependent on our top 10 suppliers for primary raw materials, wherein purchases from top 10
suppliers constituted 63.11%, 63.64%, 65.63% and 63.34% of our total purchases during the three months ended June
30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any disruption, delay, or inability of these suppliers to fulfil
their commitments may materially and adversely affect our production, financial performance, and growth prospects.
A substantial proportion of the raw materials required for our manufacturing operations including semiconductors, SMD
components, and PCBs is sourced from our top 10 suppliers. Purchases from these suppliers constituted 63.11%, 63.64%,
65.63%, and 63.34% of our total purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023,
45respectively, as detailed in the following table:

Notes:
1. The list of suppliers may vary from fiscal to fiscal.
2. For three months ended June 30, 2025, our top 10 suppliers were Avnet Asia Pte. Ltd., Rabyte Pte. Ltd., Arrow Electronics Asia (S) Pte. Ltd., Inno
Circuits Limited, SMET Singapore Pte. Ltd., Millennium Semiconductors India Pvt. Ltd., Namrata Technologies Limited, Future Electronic Inc.
(Distribution) Pte. Ltd. and WPG South Asia Pte. Ltd. We have not received consent from 1 of our top 10 suppliers for three months ended June 30,
2025.
3. For Fiscal 2025, our top 10 suppliers were Avnet Asia Pte. Ltd., Rabyte Pte. Ltd., Arrow Electronics Asia (S) Pte. Ltd., SMET Singapore Pte. Ltd.,
Inno Circuits Limited, Millennium Semiconductors India Pvt. Ltd., Terminal Technologies (I) Pvt. Ltd., Shriniwas Sales Private Limited and WPG
South Asia Pte. Ltd. We have not received consent from 1 of our top 10 suppliers for Fiscal 2025.
4. For Fiscal 2024, our top 10 suppliers were Avnet Asia Pte. Ltd., SMET Singapore Pte. Ltd., Arrow Electronics Asia (S) Pte. Ltd., Rabyte Pte. Ltd.,
Edom Technology Co Ltd (Singapore branch), Inno Circuits Limited, Shriniwas Sales Private Limited, WPG South Asia Pte. Ltd., and Future
Electronic Inc. (Distribution) Pte. Ltd. We have not received consent from 1 of our top 10 suppliers for Fiscal 2024.
5. For Fiscal 2023, our top 10 suppliers were Avnet Asia Pte. Ltd., Arrow Electronics Asia (S) Pte. Ltd., Edom Technology Co Ltd (Singapore branch),
Rabyte Pte. Ltd., Inno Circuits Limited, Shriniwas Sales Private Limited, Future Electronic Inc. (Distribution) Pte. Ltd., WPG South Asia Pte. Ltd.,
DTDS Technology Pte. Ltd., and Terminal Technologies (I) Pvt. Ltd.
We principally rely on purchase orders rather than long-term contracts for the majority of our supplier arrangements. As a
result, we remain exposed to the risk that suppliers may be unable or unwilling to fulfil their commitments in a timely manner
or at all. Key risks include capacity constraints, operational disruptions, price volatility, regulatory changes, and geo-political
factors that may affect suppliers, particularly given that several raw materials are imported. Such risks also include one-time
or unforeseen events, such as temporary or extended shutdowns at a supplier’s factory or facilities, which could abruptly
interrupt the supply of critical raw materials even where relationships and past performance have been stable.
Though we have not faced material instances of supplier delays, shortages, or defaults during the three months ended June 30,
2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, nor had difficulty finding replacement suppliers where necessary, there can be no
assurance that such stability will persist. Any significant interruptions, delays, or breaches by our top suppliers could adversely
affect our production schedules, delay customer deliveries, increase procurement costs, and impact our ability to meet
contractual obligations.
Even if alternative suppliers are available, raw materials may not always be procurable on comparable terms, within the required
timeframes, or to the same quality standards. Consequently, our dependence on a concentrated set of suppliers for our key raw
materials exposes us to supply chain risk, which, if realised, could materially and adversely affect our business, operations,
cash flows, margins, reputation, and prospects for future growth.
18. Our Company derives a portion of its income from export incentive schemes and government grants. There can be no
assurance that such incentives or grants will continue or that our business will remain eligible in future.
Our Company derives a portion of its income from export incentive schemes and government grants such as Duty Drawback,
the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (“RoDTEP”) scheme, Maharashtra Electronics Policy 2016, and the
Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (“M-SIPS”). These schemes are subject to government discretion and policy
changes and require ongoing compliance with detailed conditions.
Any withdrawal, reduction, delay, or tighter eligibility criteria relating to these schemes could materially affect our profitability
and cash flows. These benefits relate primarily to products exported from India and to eligible capital investments in
manufacturing. There can be no assurance that such incentives or grants will continue or that our business will remain eligible
in future.
The table below provides details of incentives received as a percentage of revenue from operations during the three months
ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

19. We import certain critical raw materials such as semiconductors and printed circuit boards from People's Republic of
China (“China”), which exposes us to heightened supply chain and geopolitical risks that may materially affect our
costs, production schedules, and business continuity and thereby our business, results of operations, cash flows, and
future growth prospects.
A portion of our key raw materials, including semiconductors and printed circuit boards, is imported from suppliers based in
China. While this enables us to access advanced technologies and cost efficiencies, it also subjects us to region-specific risks.
The global supply chain for electronic components has been increasingly affected by trade tensions, tariffs, changing regulatory
frameworks, and uncertainties in international relations, particularly between China and India and other major economies.
The table below sets forth our total purchases from China for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024,
and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
June 30, 2025
Purchases from China (₹ million) (A) 120.58 345.8 305.35 234.65
Total purchases (₹ million) (B) 1,433.75 4,282.59 3,904.72 3,024.52
Purchases from China as a % of total 8.41 8.07 7.82 7.76
purchases (%) (C=A/B)
Any escalation in trade restrictions, introduction of additional import duties, or implementation of additional customs
compliance requirements could lead to higher procurement costs, delays in material availability, or disruption of established
supply arrangements. Additionally, unforeseen events such as public health emergencies, political unrest, or logistical
bottlenecks in China may adversely affect the timely sourcing of materials critical to our operations.
Furthermore, recent regulatory developments have further increased the uncertainty associated with sourcing key electronic
and technology components from China. In July 2025, China announced tighter export controls on rare earth elements and
related critical minerals, which are essential in the manufacture of semiconductors and other high-technology components.
Authorities have also taken steps to restrict certain semiconductor-related exports, citing national security and supply chain
protection concerns. These measures, along with any future tightening of export regulations or broader restrictions on
technology-related trade, could heighten the risk of supply chain disruptions, increased lead times, and volatility in raw material
costs for global manufacturers. While we have not experienced any significant supply chain issues, disruptions, or material
cost increases from these regulatory changes as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there can be no assurance
that similar or more severe impact will not be faced in the future. Our ability to anticipate and adapt to such developments
remains subject to the evolving international regulatory and trade environment.
Although we maintain alternative sourcing strategies such as engaging with suppliers of the same material in different
jurisdictions wherever commercially feasible, our ability to fully mitigate region-specific risks remains limited. While we have
not faced any instances of difficulty or increased costs which we were unable to pass on to our customers for raw materials
sourced from China during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, any difficulty or increased
cost in importing raw materials from China going forward may affect our costs, production schedules, and business continuity,
and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, and future growth prospects.
20. Inability to maintain and protect our reputation for reliability and quality with key customers and stakeholders could
materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, and financial performance.
Our reputation is a critical asset supporting our business model, recurring revenue base, and growth prospects. The confidence
that leading OEMs, business partners, regulators, and industry stakeholders place in us is based largely on our ability to meet
demanding technical and quality standards, and performance over time. Maintaining and enhancing this reputation is essential
for retaining preferred-supplier status, securing repeat business from anchor customers, and remaining competitive.
Negative developments or shortcomings in any of the following areas may harm our reputation among these key stakeholders,
which could significantly affect our financial performance:
• Product quality or reliability: Recurring defects, major product quality failures, or large-scale recalls could damage
confidence among anchor customers, potentially resulting in contract loss, reduced order volumes, or challenges in
winning future business.
• Operational reliability and delivery: Inability to meet stringent delivery timelines and service-level expectations,
especially for our largest customers, could lead to loss of business or a shift in supply to competitors, impacting our
revenues and strategic relationships.
47• Stakeholder and industry perception: Adverse commentary within the industry, negative feedback from anchor
customers, or unfavourable media attention around product performance, workplace incidents, or supply chain disruptions
could undermine our position as a supplier of choice.
• Regulatory or contractual disputes: Investigations, regulatory actions, or significant contractual or intellectual property
disputes even if unrelated to product safety or reliability may prompt anchor customers to reassess their commercial
arrangements with us.
• Third party and supply chain conduct: Performance or compliance failures by our suppliers, or logistics partners could
be attributed to us by key customers, potentially harming business relationships and standing within the industry.
Given our business model is concentrated on a select group of longstanding domestic anchor customers rather than a wide array
of end consumers, maintaining trust, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance in these direct relationships is central
to our continued success. Any damage to our reputation in this context could result in loss of key contracts, reduced business
volumes, and significant adverse impact on our revenue, cash flows, and long-term prospects.
We have not experienced any negative media coverage, major regulatory or litigation-related reputational events, or significant
loss of customer trust during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023. However, as our operations
expand and we face increasing scrutiny, there can be no assurance that adverse events will not occur in future.
21. While we have maintained consistent growth in our business and financial metrics during the three months ended June
30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, there can be no assurances that we will continue to experience such growth
going forward which could have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows and results of operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we maintained consistent growth in key
business, and financial metrics, with the exception of one-time events that have temporarily affected our financial results. For
instance, while our revenue from operations increased from ₹4,230.28 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹5,306.53 million in Fiscal
2024, our profit for the year was ₹58.78 million which was lower than ₹ 85.73 million for Fiscal 2023. This lower profit was
primarily due to a one-time interest expense on compulsory convertible preference shares of ₹255.00 million during Fiscal
2024, which resulted in finance cost increasing to ₹384.48 million (net of capitalization) in Fiscal 2024 compared to ₹160.44
million (net of capitalization) in Fiscal 2023 and ₹120.30 million (net of capitalization) in Fiscal 2025.
The table below sets forth details of our key business and financial metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

EBITDA Margin(%)(3) 21.02% 19.00% 15.66% 12.82%
Notes:
1. Profit for the period/year Margin (%) is calculated as profit for the period/year divided by Revenue from operations.
2. EBITDA is calculated as profit for the period/year plus finance costs, depreciation and amortization expense plus total tax expense.
3. EBITDA Margin (%) is calculated as EBITDA divided by Revenue from operations.
For details of reconciliation of Non-GAAP items such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%) and profit for the period/year margin
(%), please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – NON-GAAP
Measures” on page 376.
As we expand our operations, including introducing new products, we cannot assure you that we will continue to experience
the same growth in our business and financial performance as we did during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024, and 2023. Accordingly, our historical financial performance may not be comparable to our future performance.
Any failure to preserve or enhance our reputation or respond effectively to reputational threats could result in a material loss
of customer confidence, decreased revenue, customer attrition, restricted market opportunities, and could have a significant
negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and long-term growth prospects.
22. Our Company may not be successful in implementing its strategies, which may adversely affect our business, cash
flows, results of operations and future prospects.
Our growth strategies are designed to achieve our goal of becoming a globally respected supplier of innovative, control-
intensive technologies with widespread adoption, robust growth, profitability and capital efficiency. These strategic priorities
include expanding our technologies and product offerings across large mobility and industrial markets; investing in technology
48and product differentiation; offering a comprehensive suite of control-intensive products in every target market; establishing
and sustaining partnerships with leading OEMs; and leveraging synergies across markets, products and supply chains. For
further details, see “Our Business – Our Growth Strategies” on page 254.
If we are unable to execute any of these strategies effectively, we may not achieve our intended business objectives. For
example, failure to develop and deliver technologies and products that address multiple large markets or to successfully
introduce differentiated offerings may result in missed growth opportunities or reduced competitiveness. Inability to broaden
our product range in each market or strengthen customer relationships could limit our value proposition and impact our revenue
base. If we are unsuccessful in building or sustaining long-term partnerships with market leaders, it may affect our market
access and reputation. Additionally, if we do not effectively leverage synergies across our markets, products and supply chain,
anticipated cost, scalability or speed-to-market benefits could fail to materialise.
As a result, our business, cash flows, results of operations and future prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to
meet these strategic objectives as planned.
23. We have capital expenditure and working capital requirements to support our growth, innovation, and operational
continuity. If we are unable to secure required financing when needed, our operations and future prospects may be
materially and adversely affected.
Our business model needs ongoing investment to support product development, production scale-up, technological upgrades,
and operational resilience. As we continue to expand our customer base, increase production volumes, and respond to evolving
industry standards particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors, our capital expenditure and working capital
requirements have shown a consistent upward trend.
The following table sets out our recent capital expenditure, driven by investments in property, plant, equipment, ongoing
projects, and intangible assets, as we maintain and expand our product pipeline as at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, March

other expenses excluding non-cash items)*91.
We require these levels of capital and working capital because our growth strategy necessitates continuous investment in
advanced manufacturing capabilities, research and development, process automation, and inventory to support customer
demand even as payment cycles lengthen or industry conditions fluctuate. The timing and quantum of future capital needs may
be affected by several external variables such as cost overruns, project delays, regulatory changes, technological developments,
competitive pressures, or macroeconomic volatility.
Furthermore, in the ordinary course of our business, we make advance payments to suppliers for raw materials, components,
and other critical inputs required for our operations. These advances are intended to secure timely supply and manage
fluctuations in procurement cycles. However, we face the risk that one or more suppliers may fail to deliver goods or services
as agreed, experience operational or financial difficulties, or become insolvent.
The table below sets forth the details of advances paid to suppliers and provisions / write-offs for unrecovered advances for the
three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Write-offs for unrecovered advances - 0.31 0.00 0.04
(₹ million)
Our projected internal accruals and available credit lines may not always be sufficient to meet our planned or unplanned capital
requirements, especially during periods of rapid scale-up or when pursuing new market opportunities. If our working capital
requirements increase, for example, due to higher raw material prices, extended receivables cycles, or increased inventory
holdings this may result in a greater need for external funding and consequently higher financing costs. If additional
financing is needed, it may not always be available on favourable terms, in adequate amounts, or within required timeframes
due to fluctuations in financial markets, changes in lender appetite, regulatory actions, or broader macroeconomic disruptions.
Should we need to raise significant additional debt, our interest expenses may increase and our ability to deploy internal cash
flows for business needs could become constrained by financial covenants, potentially impacting our profitability and
operational flexibility. Delays or an inability to obtain timely working capital funding could disrupt our supply chain, delay
production schedules or deliveries, and adversely affect ongoing projects or our ability to meet customer commitments.
Insufficient access to capital or working capital may also restrict our capacity to pursue new opportunities, respond to
technological change, or implement growth initiatives, which could result in lost commercial momentum and undermine our
long-term competitiveness. Consequently, any inability to secure capital or working capital as and when required could have a
direct and material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, financial condition, and prospects for sustainable growth.
24. Insufficient warranty reserves to cover future claims could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations
and business prospects.
We provide warranties on certain products sold to our customers, which require us to repair or replace products, or to
compensate customers, subject to the terms of the warranty arrangements with such customers. To address these obligations,
we maintain reserves calculated using historical claim rates, management estimates of future warranty costs, and other relevant
assumptions. These estimates are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, including the reliability of our products,
changes in product technology, usage patterns, and the operational environment of end-users.
If unforeseen quality issues emerge, product failures occur at a higher rate than expected, product usage patterns shift, or we
expand into new product categories with limited historical claim data, actual warranty claims could exceed our current reserves
in both number and value. In such circumstances, we may be required to record additional provisions or incur unplanned cash
outflows to meet our obligations. These developments could reduce our profitability, impair our liquidity, or negatively impact
our financial condition.
The table below sets forth details of our warranty expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

revenue from operations (%) (E=A/D)
Moreover, any significant increase in warranty claims or the need for large-scale product recalls may not only result in financial
strain but could also damage our reputation, harm customer relationships, and undermine future business prospects. Although
we aim to estimate warranty reserves prudently and adjust them as circumstances require, there can be no assurance that our
reserves will always be adequate to cover actual or future warranty obligations. Any shortfall in warranty reserves, or a
substantial increase in claims, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance and competitive position.
25. Risks relating to the protection and enforcement of our intellectual property may materially and adversely impact our
business, operations, and future prospects.
Our success depends significantly on our ability to develop, protect, and enforce our intellectual property, including patents,
trademarks, domain names, proprietary technologies, and confidential business processes. We rely on a combination of
statutory rights, internal safeguards, and contractual arrangements to protect these assets both in India and internationally.
However, given the nature of our operations centred on in-house developed control technologies and the commercialization of
differentiated products for leading customers, we are exposed to material risks relating to intellectual property at every stage
of the technology and market adoption cycle.
At the “Technology Proposition” and “Proof of Concept” stages associated risks as highlighted in “ - We are exposed to
evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our operations, financial
condition, and prospects.” on page 35, we face the risk that technical know-how, innovative features, or proprietary methods
may be inadvertently disclosed or leaked through customer engagement, or through lapses in internal processes. Early loss of
confidentiality undermines our ability to secure a first-mover or differentiation advantage.
As we progress through “Commercial Business Win” and “Early Growth” stages and the associated risks as highlighted in “-
We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, wider engagement with anchor customers and the commencement
of broader deployment expose us to challenges such as patent oppositions, infringements, and disputes over the ownership or
use of proprietary technology. Failure to protect our intellectual property or to respond effectively to challenges may erode
competitive advantage and impair our ability to drive commercial adoption. Our dependence on a few anchor customers at
these stages increases the potential impact of any challenge to our intellectual property position.
During the “Broader Market Adoption Stage” and “Sustaining Industry Position” stages associated risks as highlighted in “-
We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our
operations, financial condition, and prospects.” on page 35, once our products or technologies achieve wider adoption, the
risks expand further. Competitors, whether incumbents or new entrants may attempt to imitate, circumvent, or challenge our
intellectual property, in some cases initiating legal proceedings or seeking to invalidate key rights. The complexity of enforcing
and defending these rights intensifies across jurisdictions, as does the potential for high costs, management distraction, and
uncertainty in legal outcomes. Additionally, our registered trademarks and domain names require ongoing maintenance and
timely renewal; any lapse or failure to renew could lead to a loss of brand protection.
If we are unable to secure, enforce, or defend our intellectual property rights adequately, we may lose key competitive
advantages and encounter difficulties maintaining our market position. Significant unauthorised use or disclosure of our
proprietary technology, ineffective responses to infringement or passing off, or unfavourable outcomes in litigation or
opposition could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, cash flows, and brand reputation.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has been granted a total of 12 patents across various
jurisdictions. Out of these, (i) five patents have been granted in India only, (ii) two patents have been granted in USA only
(which have also been published in India for public comments), (iii) two patents have been granted in USA, China, EU and
Japan (which have also been published in India for public comments), (iv) one patent has been granted in India and USA, (v)
one patent has been granted in USA and China (which has also been published in India for public comments); and (vi) one
patent has been granted in Vietnam only (which has also been published in India for public comments). Of our five patents
granted in India only, we have applied to the World Intellectual Property Organisation for international patent recognition for
two patents.
In addition to the above, as at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company has applied for a total of eight patents
in India which are at different stages of approval. Out of these eight patent applications, the Indian Patent Office has published
three patents for public comments.
51Our Company also has six trademarks registered in India.We have not witnessed any litigations or challenges regarding
infringement of our intellectual property rights during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023.
However, given the evolving competitive landscape and the strategic value of our proprietary technologies, there can be no
assurance that significant challenges, infringements, or disputes will not arise in the future, or that we will always prevail in
defending our rights.
Because the risks relating to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property are inextricably linked to the positioning
and lifecycle of our business propositions as outlined in our business model and dynamic risk framework these risks should be
considered core, material elements of our overall risk profile which may impact us at multiple stages of technology and market
adoption.
26. We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our financing
agreements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
As at October 31, 2025, the aggregate outstanding borrowing of our Company amounted to ₹378.91 million which includes (a)
fund based borrowings of ₹372.33 million; and (b) non-fund based borrowings of ₹6.58 million. For further information, see
“Financial Indebtedness” on page 392. The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may also differ from
estimates as a result of, among other things, change in business plans due to prevailing economic conditions, unanticipated
expenses, and regulatory changes. To the extent our planned expenditure requirements exceed our available resources, we will
be required to seek additional debt or equity financing.
We may also have difficulty accessing capital markets, which may make it more difficult or expensive to obtain financing in
the future. Certain of our financing arrangements include conditions that require us to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior
to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions including: (i) effecting changes in capital structure, (ii)
effecting changes in shareholding pattern; (iii) material change in the composition of the board of directors of our Company
and management set up of our Company, including changes in the key managerial personnel of our Company;(iv) amending
the constitutional documents, including but not limited to the memorandum of association and articles of association of our
Company in accordance with applicable law; and (v) undertaking any new projects or substantial expansion of any current
business, operations or projects. For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” beginning on page 392. Failure to meet these
conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences for our business and operations. As on the date of this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have received all consents required from our lenders in connection with the Offer.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness will depend on our future performance and our ability to generate cash,
which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, legal, regulatory and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control. If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to
pay our debt obligations, our contractual obligations, or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be forced to sell our assets
or attempt to restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on
the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher
interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations.
The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any
failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a
reduction of our creditworthiness and/ or credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness on
acceptable terms. Any default can negatively impact our credit rating, leading to difficulties in securing future loans at
favourable interest rates.
27. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk. As at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, trade receivables from
our top 10 customers were ₹ 631.99 million, ₹ 412.01 million, ₹ 257.12 million, and ₹ 131.19 million, respectively. Any
delay in receiving payments or non-receipt of payments may adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.
We are subject to counterparty credit risk and a significant delay in receiving payments or non-receipt of large payments from
our customers may adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Our operations
involve extending credit to our customers in respect of sale of our products and consequently, we face the risk of uncertainty
regarding the receipt of these outstanding amounts. We cannot assure you that we will accurately assess the creditworthiness
of our customers.
Furthermore, macroeconomic conditions could also result in financial difficulties for our customers, including limited access
to the credit markets, insolvency or bankruptcy. Such conditions could cause our customers to delay payment, request
modifications of their payment terms, or default on their payment obligations to us, all of which could increase our receivables.
The following table sets forth below details of our credit cycle, our trade receivables and trade receivable turnover ratio for top
10 customers for the relevant period:

28. We are dependent on third parties for transportation and timely delivery of our products to customers. Any significant
disruption or failure by these providers, including one-time events such as strikes, port closures, or other logistical
issues could result in delivery delays and increased costs, materially affecting our business.
A significant proportion of our products are delivered to customers in India by road and to international customers primarily
by sea. We engage third-party logistics service providers for these requirements on a need basis and currently do not maintain
long-term, formalised contracts with such service providers. This model allows us flexibility and cost management but
53increases our exposure to risks beyond our direct control, such as sudden withdrawal of services, reduced availability of
transport capacity, or inability of a provider to meet commitments.
The table below illustrates that although carriage, freight and forward charges constituted a relatively minor percentage of our
total expenses, reliable logistics are critical to our operations and customer relationships:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
June 30, 2025
Carriage, freight and forward charges 6.69 21.65 15.67 14.89
(₹ million)
Total expenses (₹ million) 1,897.90 5,948.37 5,270.83 4,218.59
Carriage, freight and forward charges 0.35 0.36 0.30 0.35
as a percentage of total expenses (%)
Our operations are particularly vulnerable to external events that can disrupt logistics, such as industrial strikes among transport
workers, temporary port closures, customs delays, or other supply chain shocks. Any such event especially if prolonged or
occurring during periods of high demand could materially delay deliveries, disrupt customer projects, or require us to rely on
more expensive or less efficient alternative channels.
Whilst there have been no such instances during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, where
we experienced any disruptions due to strikes or any other factors involving our third-party logistic service provides, however,
we cannot assure you that such instances may not occur in future. In the event that these third-party logistic service providers
are unable to provide services for our operations for reasons which are beyond our control and we are unable to secure alternate
transport arrangements in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost, or at all, our business, cash flows, financial condition,
results of operations and reputation may be adversely affected.
During the international transport of our products primarily by sea, we face additional risks of physical loss, damage, or
shipment delays due to shipwrecks, mishandling at ports, or damage during transit. Although we maintain marine insurance
policies to cover specified risks, any costs or losses exceeding coverage limits, or resulting from uninsured events, would be
borne directly by us.
Rising fuel costs and inflationary pressures may increase freight charges imposed by our logistics partners, and any inability
to pass these costs to customers in a timely manner could adversely affect our operating margins and competitiveness. If our
third-party logistic service providers fail to provide timely and reliable service, or if alternative arrangements cannot be made
efficiently, our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation could be adversely affected.
29. We require to obtain, renew and maintain certain statutory and regulatory licenses, permits and approvals in the
ordinary course of business, and the failure to obtain or retain them in a timely manner may materially adversely affect
our operations.
Our operations are subject to government regulation, and we are required to obtain and maintain several statutory and regulatory
permits and approvals under central, state and local government legislation for operating our business generally, including tax
registrations, labour licenses, and trade license. For instance, in relation to our manufacturing facilities, we are required to
obtain various licenses under labour legislations and laws in relation to the environment, amongst others and such approvals
required by us may be subject to numerous conditions including inter alia minimum fire safety measures in the premises,
intimation requirement to the relevant authority for expansion of business area, requirement of application for renewal prior to
the expiry of existing licenses amongst others. Certain of our material approvals, registrations, permits and licenses may expire
in the ordinary course of business, and our Company is in the process of renewing such key approvals, as necessary. For further
information on approvals relating to our business and operations, see “Government and Other Approvals” beginning on page
399.
There is no assurance that the relevant authorities will renew or issue approvals in a timely manner, or at all. If we are not able
to renew the approvals in a timely manner or at all, our existing and prospective business and operations may be adversely
affected. There is no assurance that these would not be suspended or revoked in the event of accidental non-compliance or
alleged noncompliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. If there is any failure by us,
through a failure of our employees or Directors, to comply with the applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our
business are amended, we may incur increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer
a disruption in our operations, any of which could adversely affect our business.
30. Our Registered and Corporate office and current operational manufacturing facilities are located on leased premises.
There can be no assurance that such lease agreements will be renewed upon termination or that we will be able to
obtain other premises on lease on the same or similar commercial terms.
The premises for our Registered and Corporate office and MF1 are not owned by us. For further details, see “Our Business –
Properties” beginning on page 267. The lease periods and rental amounts for these properties vary on the basis of their
locations.
54The table below provides details of properties that are leased by us as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus:

Notes:
1. Under construction, with the final handover pending completion of agreed construction works; the lease will commence for a 10-year term upon
handover, pursuant to an agreement to lease dated February 21, 2025.
2. None of our properties are leased from our Promoters, members of Promoter Group, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management
Personnel.
In addition, we also have a pay-as-you-use arrangement with a customer in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, which gets renewed subject to
requirement from the customer. Continuation and renewal of this arrangement are subject to the customer’s ongoing
requirement.
While we have not faced any instances where we were not able to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all going forward. In the
event that we are required to vacate our current premises, we would be required to make alternative arrangements for new
offices and other infrastructure, and we cannot assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. If
we are required to relocate our business operations during this period, we may suffer a disruption in our operations or have to
pay increased charges, which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial
condition. If we are unable to renew these leases or relocate on commercially suitable terms, it may have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
31. Our inability to accurately forecast demand and effectively manage inventory exposes us to interconnected risks that
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Meeting the requirements of our customers, particularly in the automotive, and industrial segments demands accurate
forecasting of demand and disciplined inventory management. In the absence of contracts fixing the quantity of products to be
supplied, we rely on ongoing monthly discussions and non-binding forecasts from our customers and distributors to plan our
procurement and production. This flexible model allows us to adjust supply based on the most recent market trends and
customer needs such as maintaining approximately two months’ stock for distributors based on annual forecasts, but it also
increases our exposure to the risk of sudden changes in demand. Variations in customers’ actual orders, particularly for product-
specific components, may result in surplus inventory or shortages, which can adversely affect our operational efficiency,
working capital, and profitability.
Failures in demand forecasting may result in two primary adverse outcomes:
• Overestimating demand can lead to excess inventory, which increases storage and holding costs, raises the risk of product
obsolescence in the context of fast-evolving technologies, and may necessitate financial write-downs. Challenging
economic conditions or delays in broader market adoption (also see “ - We are exposed to evolving, stage-specific, and
proposition-specific risks which may materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and prospects.”
and “- Currently, we are significantly dependent on the mobility segment which contributed 84.31%, 85.69%, 85.64%
and 80.37% of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Any downturn, cyclical fluctuation, or adverse development in this segment could materially impact our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.” on pages 35 and 36, respectively) can compound these effects
if demand materializes slower than anticipated.
• Underestimating demand could cause inventory shortages or delayed deliveries at critical times. These risks failing to
meet customer contractual obligations, damaging relationships with existing anchor customers (see risk factor on
customer concentration and anchor customer dependency), and creating openings for competitors. These issues may also
impact our reputation for reliability and erode future sales opportunities.
55Both scenarios can be further complicated by supply chain disruptions, limited supplier flexibility, or extended lead times in
sourcing key components. Sudden changes in market demand or supply interruptions can exacerbate mismatches between
inventory and production planning, further intensifying pressure on our operational and financial performance. Also see “- We
are significantly dependent on our top 10 suppliers for primary raw materials, wherein purchases from top 10 suppliers
constituted 63.11%, 63.64%, 65.63% and 63.34% of our total purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any disruption, delay, or inability of these suppliers to fulfil their commitments may
materially and adversely affect our production, financial performance, and growth prospects.” on page 45.
The table below sets forth details of our inventory turnover ratio as at the respective dates:
Particulars As at June 30, 2025 As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023
Inventory Turnover 0.96 3.25 3.49 3.35
Ratio(1) (times)
Note:
(1) Inventory turnover ratio is calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. Inventory turnover ratio as at June 30,
2025 is not annualised.
Additionally, inability to adequately align production schedules with actual demand may reduce manufacturing efficiency,
lower labour and asset utilisation, and create bottlenecks that impact our ability to deliver to customers on time. Such
operational inefficiencies or misalignments can directly impact our profitability and working capital requirements. If we are
unable to anticipate and adapt to fluctuating demand, or if disruptions in related risk areas occur, our business operations,
financial condition, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
32. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of
operations.
Our financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees. However, our revenue is influenced by the currencies that we export
in as well as by currencies of countries where we operate. Our foreign currency exposures, exchange rate fluctuations between
the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies, especially the US$, Euro and CHF, may have a material impact on our results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition. The table below sets forth details of our foreign currency exposure as a
percentage of revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023:

We generally assess our foreign exchange risks on a case-to-case basis. While we hedge most of our foreign currency exchange
risk, however, certain of our foreign current exposures are unhedged.
The table below provides details of unhedged foreign current exposure as at the dates indicated:

Failure to hedge effectively against exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business operations, financial
conditions, results of operations and cash flows. Whilst there has not been any instance during the three months ended June 30,
2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, wherein failure of hedging foreign exchange risks had a material impact on the
financials of our Company, there is no assurance that such instance will not arise in the future.
33. Use of open-source software in our products may expose us to increased risks, including potential intellectual property
claims and obligations that could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial performance.
We use open-source software components in certain of our products and solutions in line with common industry practice in the
automotive and powertrain technology sectors. While open-source software helps accelerate innovation and reduce
development costs, its use entails certain legal, operational, and security risks.
Many open-source software licences impose restrictions, including requirements to disclose source code, license derivative
works under similar terms, or provide attribution. Inadvertent non-compliance with such licence terms could expose us to
claims of intellectual property infringement or could require us to make the proprietary aspects of our technology publicly
available, restrict our ability to commercialise certain products, or cease use of relevant software components. Further, there is
limited assurance regarding the quality, security, or maintenance of open-source software, and reliance on such software could
increase our vulnerability to security breaches or operational failures.
While we have not experienced any material issues arising from our use of open-source software during the three months ended
June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that such risks will not arise in the future. Any such event
could adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
34. As at June 30, 2025, we had contingent liabilities of ₹ 28.26 million that has been disclosed in our Restated Financial
Information, which if they materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
As at June 30, 2025, we had contingent liabilities of ₹ 28.26 million. The table below sets forth details of our outstanding
contingent liabilities as at June 30, 2025:
Particulars As at June 30, 2025
Contingent Liabilities
Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt
- Income tax matters in dispute (₹ million) 28.26
Total (₹ million) 28.26
We cannot assure you that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the future. If any of these
contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected. For further
information in relation to our contingent liabilities and commitments, please see “Restated Financial Information – Notes to
Restated Financial Information – Note 42 – Contingent liabilities and commitments” on page 355.
5735. We have entered and will continue to enter into related party transactions in the ordinary course of our business, and
we cannot assure you that such transactions (individuals or in aggregate) will not have an adverse effect on our results
of operation and financial condition.
We regularly conduct transactions with related parties as part of our normal business operations. During the three months ended
June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our related party transactions included short-term employee benefit; post-
employment benefits; and reimbursement of expenses (net). For further information on our related party transactions, see
“Summary of the Offer Document – Summary of related party transactions” on page 21.
All our related party transactions have been conducted on an arm's length basis and are in compliance with the Companies Act
and other relevant laws and regulations. However, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favorable terms
had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. Furthermore, we will continue to enter into related party
transactions in the future and thus, cannot assure you that such future transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not
have an adverse effect on our business. Any future transactions will require approval from the Audit Committee, Board, or
Shareholders as mandated by the Companies Act and SEBI Listing Regulations.
36. Our Statutory Auditors’ audit reports for Fiscals 2025 and 2024 and the examination report to our Restated Financial
Information have included certain observations on certain matters specified in the Companies (Audit and Auditors)
Rules, 2014 and Companies Auditor’s Report Order, 2020 for Fiscal 2025. If similar modifications and comments are
included in the Statutory Auditors’ reports for our financial statements in the future, it could adversely affect our
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our Statutory Auditor has included certain observations in their audit reports on our audited financial statements for Fiscals
2025 and 2024 and the examination report to our Restated Financial Information, as set out below:
Fiscal 2025
Reporting under Rule 11 (g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014
During the financial year, our Company maintained its books of account using accounting software that included an audit trail
(edit log) facility, which was operational for all relevant transactions. However, there were some exceptions. Specifically, the
audit trail feature was not enabled at the database level to log direct data changes, and for certain tables within the accounting
software, particularly those relating to revenue, receivables, purchases, payables, and payroll, the audit trail facility at the
application layer was not activated. In addition, certain privileged users had the authority to modify the audit trail feature, but
records (edit logs) of any such changes were not available, making it impossible to confirm whether modifications to the audit
trail occurred during the year. Due to these system configuration limitations, we are unable to determine if the audit trail feature
may have been tampered with at any point. Furthermore, as the audit trail facility was not active in the previous year, our
Company has not retained audit trail records in accordance with statutory record retention requirements.
There are also certain observations under the Companies Auditor’s Report Order, 2020 (CARO) in the Restated Financial
Information in relation to the title deeds of our Company being in the erstwhile name, i.e. Sedemac Mechatronics Private
Limited, and slight delays in a few cases of income-tax deducted at source ranging from 22 to 46 days and tax collected at
source of 4 days.
Fiscal 2024
Reporting under Rule 11 (g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended):
During the financial year, our Company maintained its books of account using accounting software that does not include the
functionality to record an audit trail (edit log). As the audit trail feature is not available in our current software, the Statutory
Auditor was unable to provide information or comments regarding the existence or operation of such a feature.
Except as mentioned above, there are no emphasis of matters, reservations, qualifications, observation, modification or adverse
remarks highlighted by our Statutory Auditors in our Restated Financial Information. We cannot assure you that our audit
reports for any future periods or financial years will not contain such observations, including any observations that may have
an effect on our financial statements and which could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations. For further details, see “Restated Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Auditors Observation” on pages 304 and 388, respectively
5837. There have been minor delays in payment of tax deducted at source / tax collected source (other than salary) during
the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025 and 2024. Any delay in payment of statutory dues by our
Company in future, may result in imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our Company’s
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our Company is required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions and employee state insurance
contributions under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the Employees’ State
Insurance Act, 1948, respectively and professional taxes and labour welfare fund charges.
The table below sets forth details of statutory dues paid by the Company in relation to our employees for the years indicated:

The delays were primarily due to technical issues and administrative errors, among others. While our Company has
59subsequently made payment of all pending statutory dues, we cannot assure you that we will not incur delays in payment of
statutory dues in the future. Further, any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and
regulatory action, as well as significant penalties, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial
conditions and cash flows.
38. Fraud, theft, employee negligence or similar incidents may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations may be subject to incidents of theft or damage to inventory in transit. We may also encounter some inventory
loss on account of employee theft, vendor fraud and general administrative error. While there has been no instance of fraud,
theft or employee negligence which we have experienced during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024
and 2023, which had an adverse effect on our business operations, there can be no assurance that we will not experience any
fraud, theft, employee negligence, security lapse, loss in transit or similar incidents in the future, which could adversely affect
our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Additionally, losses due to theft, fire, breakage or damage caused
by other casualties, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
39. Impairment and discontinuation of capitalised projects may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.
We invest in new projects that are capitalised on our balance sheet. There can be no assurance that these projects will always
achieve expected commercial success. Factors such as changes in market demand, technology shifts, or lower-than-expected
sales may result in projects being impaired or discontinued, which can adversely affect our profitability and asset values. For
instance, Internet of Things project (“IoT”), capitalised at ₹ 118.80 million and completed in January 2022, was partly impaired
in the Fiscal 2025 due to underperformance.
A summary of costs and impairment for the IoT project is set out below:
Particulars ₹ million
Cost of the project (capitalised) 118.80
Amortization until Fiscal 2025 77.14
Impairment in Fiscal 2025 41.66
Sale of IoT products during amortization period 2.65
Future projects may face similar risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and future growth.
40. Information Technology failures could disrupt our product development and operations which could have an adverse
impact on our business operations and financial performance.
Our product development, modelling and operations are heavily dependent on automation, making information technology
(“IT”) systems essential for managing key processes. These systems play a critical role in developing new products, improving
efficiency and optimizing costs. The table below sets forth our information technology expenses as a percentage of total
expenses for the relevant Fiscals:
Particulars Three months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended June 30,
2025
Information technology expenses (₹ million) (A) 18.38 51.45 56.98 40.43
Total expenses (₹ million) (B) 1,897.90 5,948.37 5,270.83 4,218.59
Information technology expenses as a percentage 0.97 0.86 1.08 0.96
of total expenses (%) (C=A/B)
Considering the nature of our business and dependence on information technology for our operations and product development,
while there have minor disruptions in our information technology systems during day-to-day operations, however, there have
been no instances which had a significant or adverse impact on our business and operations during the three months ended June
30, 2025 or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023. However, there is no guarantee that such issues will not arise in the future. Proper
allocation and management of resources to maintain our IT infrastructure are essential. Failure to do so could result in
transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, and challenges to automated systems. Implementing or overhauling IT systems
may introduce risks, such as errors, inefficiencies, disruptions, and potential customer loss.
Additionally, our IT systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, are vulnerable to disruptions due to
uncontrollable events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, or security
breaches. Although we have implemented security measures to address these risks, there is no assurance that these measures
will be completely effective. Any failure could disrupt our automated manufacturing processes and impact operational
continuity and efficiency.
6041. If we experience a cyber security breach or other security incident or unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to
our customers data, we may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our products
may reduce and we may incur significant liabilities.
We rely on the technology infrastructure of our third-party service providers for our information technology system such as for
cloud services and data back-up. These systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption as a result of software or hardware
malfunctions, system implementations or upgrades, computer viruses, third-party security breaches, employee error, misuse,
war, natural calamities, power loss, telecommunications failures, cyber-attacks, human error, and other similar events could
lead to extended interruptions of our operations, a corresponding loss of revenue and profits, cause breaches of data security,
loss of intellectual property or critical data, or the release and misappropriation of sensitive information, or otherwise impair
our operations.
Unauthorized use of, or inappropriate access to, our networks, computer systems or services could potentially jeopardize the
security of confidential information. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage
systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target. We may be unable to anticipate these
techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Non-technical means, such as actions (or inactions) by an
employee, can also result in data breach. We cannot assure you that any security measures taken by us will be effective in
preventing these activities. We may need to expend significant resources to protect against security breaches or to address
problems caused by such breaches. Whilst there have been no data breach during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which had a significant impact on our operations, we cannot assure you that such data breaches
will not occur in the future.
Furthermore, cyber-attacks may target us, or the communication infrastructure on which we depend. While we strive to improve
our cybersecurity measures, our inability to avert all potential attacks and security breaches could subject us to legal and
financial liability, harm our reputation and cause us to sustain substantial revenue loss from lost sales and customer
dissatisfaction. Whilst there have been no instances during the three months ended June 30, 2025 or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, where we have faced any cyber-security issues impacting our operations, however, we cannot assure you that we will
not experience these instances as we expand our operations.
42. Certain of our corporate records are not traceable. We cannot assure you that any regulatory proceedings or actions
will not be initiated against us in the future and we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the competent
regulatory authority in this regard.
We are unable to trace the respective share transfer deeds in relation to certain transfers of equity shares involving our Promoters
prior to Fiscal 2012. Accordingly, for the purposes of making disclosures in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including in
the section titled “Capital Structure” on page 94,with respect to such transfers, we have relied on other secretarial and corporate
records available with us, such as statutory registers, agreements entered for transfers of securities, and minutes of board
meetings, and we may not be able to furnish any further documents evidencing details of such transfers. Further, we are unable
to trace the RBI acknowledgement for Form FC-TRS filed with the authorised dealer in relation to the transfer of certain Equity
Shares on June 9, 2015, by one of our Promoters. In addition, for certain rights issues undertaken by us, we are unable to trace
respective waiver or renunciation letters from certain Shareholders. For such transactions, we have relied on statutory form
filings, register of members and minutes of board meetings for making disclosures in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. While
there have been no regulatory proceedings or actions initiated against us in relation to the aforementioned non-availability of
the corporate records, we cannot assure you that the relevant corporate records will become available in the future, that
regulatory proceedings or actions will not be initiated against us in the future, or that we will not be subject to any penalty
imposed by the competent regulatory authority in this respect.
Additionally, with respect to allotment of Series A CCPS dated May 21, 2010, there was a delay by our Company in reporting
inward remittance to the RBI in relation to the foreign investment. In this respect, our Company filed a compounding
application dated May 3, 2011, and the RBI passed an order dated October 3, 2011 imposing penalty of ₹75,000 on us, which
was subsequently paid. Further, there have been certain instances of delays in connection with secretarial filings in the past by
our Company. We cannot assure you that there will be no such delays in the future, or that no statutory regulatory action will
be initiated against us in respect of such delays or non-compliances.
43. Reliance on imported machinery exposes us to risks that could adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and
results.
Our manufacturing processes require the use of specialised machinery and equipment, a portion of which is sourced from
international suppliers. This reliance on imported machinery introduces various risks that could disrupt our operations or impact
our financial performance.
First, the process of importing machinery is subject to potential delays arising from customs clearance procedures, evolving
import regulations or government duties, and unforeseen logistical hurdles. Geopolitical tensions, global supply chain
constraints, higher global demand, or force majeure events such as pandemics can further impede the timely procurement,
installation, or commissioning of essential equipment. These challenges may be compounded by foreign exchange rate
61volatility, which could increase the effective cost of our imported capital goods thereby negatively affecting our planned capital
expenditure and margins.
In addition to procurement risks, operating imported machinery may heighten our exposure to challenges in servicing, obtaining
spare parts, or securing prompt technical support. Difficulties in getting timely maintenance or after-sales support, especially
for equipment with limited domestic presence or exclusive international warranties, may result in unplanned production
stoppages, higher downtime, and reduced manufacturing efficiency. If original equipment manufacturers or overseas suppliers
are unable, or unwilling, to provide continuing support, our ability to address operational issues may be compromised.
The following table sets forth the break-up of additions to property, plant and equipment, showing the value of imports and
equipment sourced from India for the indicated period/year:
Imports Domestic Total
Period/year
(₹ million) (₹ million) (₹ million)
Three months ended June 30, 2025 43.42 189.59 233.02
Fiscal 2025 155.42 423.25 578.67
Fiscal 2024 179.32 245.99 425.31
Fiscal 2023 65.07 149.10 214.17
If we are unable to source machinery, obtain vital parts, or maintain operational continuity, we may face production delays,
miss customer delivery deadlines, and suffer reputational damage or loss of business. Our reliance on imported machinery is
interconnected with other principal risks, including supply chain disruptions, foreign exchange volatility, and regulatory
changes. Collectively, these risks may adversely and materially affect our operating capabilities, financial condition, results of
operations, and ability to fulfil customer expectations.
While we have not experienced any significant disruptions arising from our reliance on imported machinery during the three
months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that such risks will not materialise in the
future. Any such event could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
44. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate, or we may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance
coverage which may impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our insurance policies, amongst others, include marine export import insurance; fire, burglary, electrical equipment and
machinery breakdown insurance; fire loss of profit; product liability insurance; plate glass cover; commercial general liability
policy, including product recall cover; manufacturing errors and omission liability cover; keyman insurance; directors and
officers (D&O) insurance, including excess cover; and cyber defence and commercial crime insurance.
Notwithstanding the insurance coverage that we carry, we may not be fully insured against certain business risks. There are
many events that could significantly impact our operations, or expose us to third-party liabilities, for which we may not be
adequately insured. There can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured
fully, in part, or on time. To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our
insurance coverage, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The table below sets forth details of our insurance coverage on our total insured assets, as at the dates indicated:
Particulars As of June 30, 2025 As of March 31, 2025 As of March 31, 2024 As of March 31, 2023

As at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, all of our inventory was completely insured. To
the extent that we suffer loss or damage as a result of events for which we are not insured, or for which we did not obtain or
maintain insurance, or which is not covered by insurance, exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims are
rejected, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows could be
adversely affected. For further information on our insurance arrangements, see “Our Business – Insurance” beginning on page
265.
The table below sets forth details of the total insurance claims filed by us for the periods indicated:

Fiscal 2023 4.18 3.90
While we believe that the insurance coverage which we maintain would be reasonably adequate to cover the normal risks
associated with the operation of our business, we cannot assure you that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by
us will be honoured fully, or in part, or on time, or that we have taken out sufficient insurance to cover all our losses. In addition,
our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of
our business, but we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, at an acceptable cost, or at all.
To the extent that we suffer loss or damage, for which we have not obtained or maintained insurance, or which is not covered
by insurance, which exceeds our insurance coverage, or where our insurance claims are rejected, the loss would have to be
borne by us and our results of operations, cash flows and financial performance could be adversely affected.
45. High customer concentration in the domestic market, resulting from our anchor customer-focused strategy, exposes us
to specific risks that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
India is currently our largest and most critical market, and our business model is based on developing long-term relationships
with a select group of key (anchor) customers across all product categories. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and for
Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, revenue generated within India represented over 90.00% of our revenue from operations in each
period, as detailed below:
Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
June 30, 2025
Within India (₹ million) 1,997.88 6,129.27 5,003.42 3,990.88
Outside India (₹ million) 175.69 454.36 303.11 239.40
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 2,173.57 6,583.63 5,306.53 4,230.28
Within India as a percentage of revenue from 91.92 93.10 94.29 94.34
operations (%)
Outside India as a percentage of revenue from 8.08 6.90 5.71 5.66
operations (%)
This concentration in our domestic market means a substantial proportion of our operating performance is influenced by
demand patterns, market conditions, regulatory changes, and customer behaviour within India. Consequently, a significant
portion of our sales is tied to a comparatively small set of domestic customers, making us susceptible to risks arising from
changes in their procurement strategies, financial health, or preferences. Any loss of major domestic customers or deterioration
in the Indian market may have an outsized adverse effect on our revenues and profitability. Also see, “- Currently, we are
significantly dependent on the mobility segment which contributed 84.31%, 85.69%, 85.64% and 80.37% of our revenue from
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any downturn, cyclical
fluctuation, or adverse development in this segment could materially impact our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.” on page 36.
46. We generated 7.81%, 5.65%, 2.37% and 4.05% of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30,
2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 from sales made to the United States. Imposition of tariff on Indian goods,
including generators and controllers sold by us, may significantly increase the cost of our exports to the United States,
which may potentially reduce our competitiveness and profit margins.
On August 7, 2025, the United States implemented a 25% tariff on Indian goods, including our generators and controllers, with
an additional 25% levy effective from August 27, 2025, bringing the total tariff rate to 50%. These tariffs are expected to
significantly increase the cost of our exports to the United States, and may reduce demand for our products, disrupt our supply
chains, and compress profit margins. We may seek to mitigate these impacts through strategic pricing or diversifying our export
markets, but we cannot assure you that such measures will be effective.
The table below sets forth our export sales made to jurisdictions outside India as a percentage of revenue from operations for
the relevant period / Fiscals:

While there have been no material instances of unanticipated regulatory actions, additional costs, or disruptions relating to our
exports in the three months ended June 30, 2025 or Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, we face significant uncertainty in these
markets. Any economic slowdown, or tightening of regulations in our export markets, could adversely affect our export
revenues and overall performance. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks or maintain stable relationships with key
customers, our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
47. Loss of independent certifications and accreditations may materially harm our business, reputation, and financial
performance.
Our ability to obtain and maintain quality certifications and accreditations is fundamental to the acceptance of our products in
both domestic and international markets. These certifications validate our adherence to requisite quality specifications and
manufacturing standards, which are critical not only for regulatory compliance but also for meeting the demanding
requirements of our major customers and end markets.
Failure to comply with such quality standards, delays in securing recertification, or inability to obtain new certifications as our
product portfolio evolves could restrict our market access and adversely affect our ability to secure and retain business from
customers, particularly those in highly regulated sectors or export markets where independent accreditation is mandatory. If
we lose existing certifications or accreditations due to non-compliance or other lapses, we risk losing significant customers and
market opportunities, especially where customer procurement policies or industry regulations require continuous certification.
Although there have been no instances of lost accreditations or certifications during the three months ended June 30, 2025 or
Fiscals 2025, 2024, or 2023, we cannot assure that future non-compliance or evolving standards will not lead to such events.
The loss, suspension, or non-renewal of key certifications could negatively impact our reputation for quality and reliability,
reduce our competitiveness, lead to the termination of contracts, or hamper our ability to win new business.
This risk is also closely linked to our customer concentration, as many of our key customers, both domestic and international,
require our products and manufacturing processes to meet stringent independently certified standards. Should we be unable to
maintain such certifications, it may result in the loss of one or more anchor customers, amplifying the adverse impact on our
business prospects, market reputation, customer relationships, and financial condition.
48. Failures in internal control systems could cause operational errors which may have an adverse impact on our
profitability.
We are responsible with establishing and maintaining internal control systems that align with the size and complexity of our
business operations. These systems are built around policies and procedures aimed at managing our operations effectively,
protecting company assets, making efficient use of resources, ensuring accurate and reliable financial reporting, and complying
with applicable regulations. To strengthen these controls, we conduct regular reviews and tests across all functional and
business areas.
Despite these efforts, there is a possibility of operational risks arising from gaps or failures in our internal processes and
systems. While we rely on comprehensive measures, these controls may not always be effective in preventing or addressing
every issue. Given the scale of our operations, certain errors or irregularities may go undetected, or could occur repeatedly,
potentially leading to compounded effects before detection and resolution. Additionally, while our management information
systems and monitoring procedures aim to identify irregularities and ensure compliance, they may not capture every instance
of non-compliance or questionable activity. This could leave us vulnerable to unforeseen operational risks.
While there have been no instances of internal control failures during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that going forward, we will be able to identify every instance of non-compliance, which
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, if internal control weaknesses
are identified, our actions may not be sufficient to correct such internal control weakness.
49. Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, increased wage demands by our employees, or an increase
in minimum wages across various states, and if we are unable to engage new employees at commercially attractive
terms.
We are dependent on our employees for a significant portion of our operations, in particular, manufacturing operations.
Furthermore, as our team size expands to support multiple development and manufacturing activities, our overall employee-
related expenses including salaries, benefits, and training are likely to increase. These rising costs may compress margins or
affect profitability if not managed alongside growth. We also appoint independent contractors who in turn engage on-site
contract labor for the performance of certain of our ancillary operations. None of our employees are unionized. However, in
64the event that our employees seek to unionize, it may become difficult for us to maintain flexible labour policies, which may
increase our costs and adversely affect our business.
The table below sets forth details of our on-roll employees and contractual labours as at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, March
31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:
Particulars As at June 30, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023
On-Roll Employees 483 458 364 297
Contractual Labour 1,149 890 644 623
Although we do not engage these laborers directly, it is possible under Indian law that we may be held responsible for wage
payments to laborers engaged by contractors should the contractors’ default on wage payments. Any requirement to fund such
payments and resultant disruption of manufacturing or business operations may adversely affect our business, financial
conditions, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, any changes in government regulation governing employee
benefits, such as provident fund contributions, leave entitlements, gratuity, or other statutory obligations, could result in higher
compliance costs and increased expenses for the company. We also incur significant training costs to upskill new and existing
personnel, which may rise as we grow or as the regulatory or technical landscape evolves.
Work stoppages due to strikes or other events could result in slowdowns or closures of our operations which could have an
adverse effect on our business, cash flows and results of operations. While there has been no instance during the three months
ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, where we experienced work stoppages due to strikes or labor unrest that
resulted in closure of our operations, there is no assurance that we may not experience any such events in the future.
50. Our Company is or may be involved in certain legal proceedings and any adverse outcomes in such proceedings may
have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In the ordinary course of business, our Company is or may be involved in certain legal proceedings, which are pending at
varying levels of adjudication at different fora. While these proceedings are pending at various stages of adjudication before
various fora, there can be no assurance that such proceedings will be resolved in our favour. We may be required to devote
management and financial resources in the defence or prosecution of such legal proceedings and any adverse findings by the
courts or other adjudicative fora may have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, standing in the marketplace, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
There can also be no assurance that we will be able to recover any losses incurred from third parties. Even if we are successful
in defending such cases, we may be subject to legal and other costs incurred pursuant to defending such litigation, and such
costs may be substantial and not recoverable. Our losses relating to litigation or arbitration may also not be covered by
insurance and our provisioning for such proceedings may not be sufficient to cover the costs we incur as a result of such
proceedings, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.
A summary of the nature and number of outstanding litigation as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, as further
detailed in “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” beginning on page 394, involving our Company, Directors,
Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel, as applicable, along with the amount involved, to

that any of these proceedings will be decided in favour of our Company, and Senior Management Personnel, or that no further
liability will arise out of these proceedings.
51. Transitional risks associated with our new manufacturing facilities could adversely impact our operations, sales, and
financial condition.
We have recently transferred certain existing machinery from MF1 to a new facility, i.e., Manufacturing Facility 4 (“MF4”),
Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, where line set-up is currently in process. In addition, we are currently constructing Manufacturing
Facility 3 (“MF3”), also located in Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
The commissioning and ramp-up of new facilities can present a range of transitional risks, including delays in construction or
in reaching full commercial operations, technical or operational challenges during the initial ramp-up phase, and temporary
inefficiencies that may affect production stability and increase operating costs. As we transition and potentially consolidate
certain operations from existing Pune Facilities to new ones, particularly upon MF3’s commencement, we may encounter
disruptions or delays which could hinder our ability to meet customer demand in the short term.
Furthermore, costs relating to the completion, commissioning, and stabilisation of MF3 and MF4, as well as the phased
discontinuation or consolidation of older facilities, may temporarily impact on our financial performance. If operational
challenges persist or if anticipated efficiencies and cost savings are not realised as planned, our business, financial condition,
and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We cannot assure you that the new facilities will achieve targeted production capacities or efficiency levels on schedule, or
that the transition will not pose unforeseen operational or financial challenges.
52. Replacement of ageing equipment and its impact on our depreciation expense may adversely affect our financial results.
As our manufacturing equipment ages and approaches the end of its useful life, we may be required to undertake significant
capital investments to replace or upgrade such assets to maintain efficient operations. When we acquire and capitalise new
equipment, the resulting increase in our asset base typically leads to higher depreciation expenses being recorded in our
financial statements.
The table below sets forth our depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023:
Particulars Three months Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended June 30,
2025
Depreciation and amortization expense (₹ million) 130.89 453.39 358.63 301.89
Total expenses (₹ million) 1,897.90 5,948.37 5,270.83 4,218.59
Depreciation and amortization expense as a 6.90 7.62 6.80 7.16
percentage of total expenses (%)
A higher depreciation burden, particularly if multiple major assets are replaced within a short period, could reduce our reported
profitability even where overall operational efficiency is improved. This may negatively impact key financial metrics and ratios
used by investors, analysts and lenders to assess our financial performance. If future capital expenditure requirements and
associated depreciation are not effectively managed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected.
53. Information relating to our annual installed capacity, annual average available capacity, actual production and the
capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is based on various
assumptions and estimates. Undue reliance on the capacity information or historical capacity utilization data for our
current manufacturing facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
The data concerning annual installed capacity, average annual available capacity, actual production, and capacity utilization of
our manufacturing facilities provided in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are derived from various assumptions and estimates
made by our management, which have been considered by the independent chartered engineer when calculating our capacity.
Consequently, actual production levels and capacity utilization rates may deviate significantly from the annual installed and
average available installed capacity of our manufacturing facilities. Therefore, it is important not to place undue reliance on
the capacity information or historical capacity utilization data for our current manufacturing facilities included in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.
MF1:
Capacity is reported in “ISG equivalent units” to account for different products needing different production times. Actual
production and installed capacity are both converted to ISG equivalents to calculate utilisation. These ratios are updated as
processes or products change. As of March 31, 2025, installed capacity increased by 31.67% from 3,036,456 ISG equivalents
66to 3,998,007 ISG equivalents, and actual production increased by 34.49 % from 2,271,608 ISG equivalent to 3,055,173 ISG
equivalents, compared to the previous year
MF2:
Capacity and production for MF2 are reported in actual physical units, without conversion, as all products have similar
production times. Capacity utilisation is calculated as actual production divided by installed capacity. As of June 30, 2025,
installed capacity is stated pro rata. Lower production and utilisation at MF2 during the quarter ending June 30, 2025 are mainly
due to shifting demand towards MF1’s control-intensive products.
Accordingly, the methodologies, normalisation processes, and year-on-year changes described above should be carefully
considered when reviewing the manufacturing capacity, actual production, and capacity utilisation figures set out in this
document. These figures are based on current assumptions, and future operational data may differ due to changes in product
mix, production processes, market demand, or other factors.
For information regarding capacity of our current manufacturing facilities, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations –
Capacity of our Manufacturing Facilities – Installed Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilization” on page 60.
54. Under-utilization or misalignment of our manufacturing capacities with market demand, and an inability to effectively
utilize our expanded and proposed manufacturing capacities, could have an adverse effect on our business, growth
prospects, financial performance and cash flows.
Our profitability and future growth depend significantly on our ability to accurately plan, invest in, and utilize manufacturing
capacity in line with evolving market demand. Inadequate or improper capacity planning, such as expanding production
capacity ahead of actual growth in demand, failing to anticipate changes in customer requirements, or inefficiently allocating
production between products may lead to periods of under-utilisation or mismatch of available capacity across products.
Fluctuations in demand for our products can compromise our ability to forecast customer needs, potentially disrupting
production scheduling, causing overproduction or idle capacity, and leading to inefficient use of manufacturing resources.
Consistently poor capacity planning or utilisation may result in elevated operational costs and inventory build-up, pressure on
margins, or even lost opportunities for revenue growth if we are unable to meet market demand promptly.
As a result, both prolonged under-utilisation of manufacturing capacities and significant short-term inefficiencies could
materially and adversely impact our business operations, growth prospects, financial condition and future financial
performance. This risk is particularly relevant as we continue to expand or propose new facilities to support anticipated growth
(also see “- Transitional risks associated with our new manufacturing facilities could adversely impact our operations, sales,
and financial condition.” on page 66).
The table below sets forth details of the capacity utilization across our manufacturing facilities for the respective period/years:
Details of Capacity Utilization For the Capacity Utilization Capacity Utilization Capacity Utilization
Manufacturing three months ended June for Fiscal 2025 (%) for Fiscal 2024 (%) for Fiscal 2023 (%)
Facility 30, 2025 (%)
MF1 93.30 76.42 74.81 75.95
MF2 68.76 85.44 85.26 80.33
Note:
As certified by Uday Dattaraya Sathe, independent chartered engineer, pursuant to a certificated dated November 10, 2025.
For further information, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations – Capacity of the Manufacturing Facilities – Installed
Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilization” on page 60.
55. Sub-optimal manufacturing processes could result in lower yields, higher costs, and adversely affect our profitability
and competitiveness.
Our ability to achieve and sustain target profitability margins and meet customer expectations depends heavily on the efficiency,
reliability, and continuous optimisation of our manufacturing processes. As we expand production capacity, we face ongoing
operational and technical challenges to maintain high process yields and minimize wastage.
Any sub-optimality in our manufacturing operations, such as process inefficiencies, variations in raw material quality,
equipment breakdowns, or delays in process automation or upgrades, could lead to reduced production yields, elevated material
or labour consumption, and increased incidence of defects or rework. These factors could increase our production costs, erode
operating margins, and constrain our ability to price competitively, particularly for orders with tight tolerances or demanding
delivery schedules. In periods of supply chain disruption or raw material volatility, process inefficiency may exacerbate cost
pressures and impact our responsiveness to customer needs.
Persistent or recurring process inefficiencies may undermine our operational performance and financial results and could
potentially impact our reputation with anchor customers who value reliable supply and consistent quality. In addition, failure
67to identify, assess, and implement timely process improvements whether due to resource constraints, technology adoption
challenges, or skills shortages may inhibit our ability to capitalize on cost savings, scale efficiently, or maintain a resilient
competitive position as industry standards evolve.
While we have not experienced any instances of sub-optimal manufacturing process which impacted our yield during the three
months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that we will not face such instances as we
expand our operations. Consequently, any inability to optimize or upgrade our manufacturing processes could have a direct
and material adverse effect on our production efficiency, profitability, market position, and long-term growth prospects.
56. Our ability to access capital at attractive costs depends on our credit ratings. Non-availability of credit ratings or a poor
rating may restrict our access to capital and thereby adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and
results of operations.
The cost and availability of capital depend on our credit ratings. The table below sets for the details of last three credit ratings

Credit ratings reflect the rating agency’s opinion on factors such as our management quality, our scale and operational growth,
margin performance, medium-term revenue visibility, and operating cycle. Any downgrade caused by repayment delays or
similar adverse developments can result in higher future finance costs. While we have not encountered any downgrades in our
credit ratings recently, including within the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, any downgrade,
non-receipt, or unfavorable credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs. This may also grant our lenders the right to review
the facilities provided under our financing arrangements and negatively impact our access to capital and debt markets. Such
outcomes could adversely affect our interest margins, business operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
57. Our Promoters, certain of our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel may have
interests other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits.
Our Promoter, certain of our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel are interested in our
68Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses and such interests are to the extent
of their employee stock options performance based incentives, and shareholding in our Company. For payments that are made
by our Company to related parties including remuneration to our Directors and our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management Personnel, see “Summary of the Offer Document– Summary of related party transactions” and “Capital
Structure” on page 21 and 94, respectively.
58. Some of our Directors do not have prior experience of holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock
Exchanges which may subject us to adverse regulatory actions if we are not able to comply with applicable laws,
resulting in an impact on the price of our Equity Shares.
A majority of our Directors do not have prior experience of being on the board of a company listed on the Stock Exchanges.
Upon listing of the Equity Shares, our Company will be subject to the applicable regulatory requirements, including the
regulations prescribed under SEBI Listing Regulations and the Companies Act. We cannot assure you that our Directors will
be able to adequately manage our Company after listing of our Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges, due to their lack of prior
experience as directors of listed companies. Accordingly, we may get limited guidance from them and accordingly, may
encounter challenges to maintain and improve the effectiveness our disclosure controls, procedures and internal control as
required for a listed company under the applicable laws. Any non-compliance with such regulatory framework, whether due to
lack of such experience or otherwise, could subject us to adverse regulatory actions, and have an impact on the price of our
Equity Shares.
59. Certain of our existing and future Shareholders together may be able to exert significant influence over our Company
after completion of the Offer, which may limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted for approval
of our Shareholders.
Following the completion of this Offer, certain Shareholders may continue to hold more than 10.00% of our post-Offer Equity
Share capital. Such shareholdings could limit prospective investors’ ability to influence corporate matters requiring shareholder
approval especially the resolutions which are required to be approved by way of special resolutions by the Shareholders under
the provisions of the Companies Act. Any consequent delay or non-receipt of shareholder approval for such matters could
adversely affect our business. For further details on our shareholding pattern, see “Capital Structure – Notes to the Capital
Structure - Shareholding pattern of our Company” beginning on page 117.
60. Our Company has not paid and may not be able to pay dividends in the future.
Our Company has not paid any dividends during the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 and
from July 1, 2025, until the filing of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Any dividends to be declared and paid in the future are
required to be recommended by our Board of Directors and approved by our Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the
provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act. Our Company’s ability to pay
dividends in the future will depend on several internal and external factors, which, inter alia, include (i) profits earned by our
Company, (ii) present and future capital requirements, (iii) overall financial position of our Company, and (iv) uncertainty in
economic conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. Accordingly, realization of a
gain on Shareholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of Equity Shares. There is no guarantee that the
Equity Shares will appreciate in value. For details pertaining to our dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” beginning on page
303.
61. We have issued Equity Shares during the preceding twelve months at a price which may be below the Offer Price.
We have, in the last 12 months prior to filing this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be
lower than the Offer Price. For further details, see “Capital Structure – Notes to Capital Structure –Issue of Specified Securities
at a price lower than the Offer Price in the last one year” beginning on page 116.
62. Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale.
The Offer is an Offer for Sale. The Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which
comprise proceeds from the Offer for Sale net of Offer expenses shared by the Selling Shareholders, and our Company will not
receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale and will not benefit financially from the proceeds of the Equity Shares sold by
the Selling Shareholders in the Offer. For details, see “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 136.
63. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains information from third parties, including an industry report prepared by
an independent third-party research agency, CRISIL Intelligence, which we have commissioned and paid for to confirm
our understanding of our industry exclusively in connection with the Offer and reliance on such information for
making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.
We have used the report titled “Industry assessment for control technologies used in automotive, generator and power tools
industry” dated November 2025 by CRISIL Intelligence appointed on April 22, 2025 (“CRISIL Report”), for purposes of
inclusion of such information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, and exclusively commissioned by our Company for
69purposes of inclusion of such information in the Offer documents at an agreed fees to be paid by our Company. The CRISIL
Report is available on the website of our Company at https://www.sedemac.com/investors/other-information/ipo-offer-
documents/industry-reports. Our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management
Personnel are not related to CRISIL Intelligence as a consequence of this engagement.
Furthermore, the CRISIL Report is a paid report and is subject to various limitations and based upon certain estimates,
projections, forecasts and assumptions that are subjective in nature and may prove to be incorrect. Industry sources and
publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends.
Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that
may prove to be incorrect and may include numbers relating to our Company and peer group companies that differ from those
we or such peer group companies record internally. In addition, statements from third parties that involve estimates are subject
to change, and actual amounts may differ materially from those included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. There are no
parts, data or information (which may be relevant for the Offer), that have been left out or changed in any manner. Accordingly,
investors should read the industry-related disclosure in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in this context.
64. We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain non-generally accepted accounting principle financial
measures and certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP
measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry in
which we operate and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of
similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.
Certain Non-GAAP financial measures namely EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%), Profit for the period/year margin(%),
Tangible net worth, Total Debt, Capital Employed, RoCE(%), RoE (%), Debt-Equity Ratio, Net worth, RoNW(%) and Net
Asset Value (“NAV”) per Equity Share, (collectively, “Non-GAAP Measures”) and certain other industry measures relating
to our operations and financial performance have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose
such Non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and
because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance
of the industry in which we operate, many of which provide such Non-GAAP financial measures and other industry related
statistical and operational information. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility
as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for
an analysis of our audited financial statements as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
These non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our operations
and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry
and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature
that may be computed and presented by other companies.
65. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which
investors may be more familiar and may consider them material to their assessment of our financial condition.
Our Restated Financial Information for the three months ended June 30, 2025, or Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, have been
prepared and presented in conformity with Ind AS. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from Indian GAAP, IFRS,
U.S. GAAP, and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar with in other countries. If our
financial statements were to be prepared in accordance with such other accounting principles, our results of operations, cash
flows and financial position may be substantially different. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied
in the preparation of our financial statements and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences
between these accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar
with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should be limited
accordingly.
66. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters and Selling Shareholders may be less than the Offer
Price.
The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters and the Selling Shareholders may be less than the Offer
Price. The details of the average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares held by our Promoters and the Selling Shareholders are

The Offer Price is not indicative of the price at which our Company has issued the Equity Shares in the past or that will prevail
in the open market following listing of the Equity Shares.
67. The Offer Price, market capitalization to revenue multiple and enterprise-value-to-EBITDA ratio based on the Offer
Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of our Company on listing or thereafter.
Our revenue from operations and EBITDA for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 6,583.63 million and ₹ 1,250.68 million, respectively, and
our market capitalization to revenue from operations (Fiscal 2025) multiple is [●] times and our enterprise-value-to-EBITDA
ratio (based on Fiscal 2025 profit for the year) is [●] at the upper end of the price band. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is
proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through a book-building
process, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the section “Basis for Offer Price” on page 139 and the
Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the market price of our Company on listing or thereafter.
Accordingly, any valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company would not be based on a
benchmark with our industry peers. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band would be determined,
shall be disclosed in the advertisement that would be issued for publication of the Price Band.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations
in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, announcements
by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, our competitors launching new products,
announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the
securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or
earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
EXTERNAL RISKS
7168. Natural disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely
affect our business.
Our operations may be adversely affected by fires, natural disasters and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our
manufacturing and technological infrastructure and generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel
and suspend operations. Any terrorist attacks or civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in
India could have a negative effect on us. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian
companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the price of the Equity Shares.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Demand for our products may be
adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. Economic growth is affected by
various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and
movements in key imports, global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates, and annual
rainfall which affects agricultural production. Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, a change in the government or a change in the economic and
deregulation policies could adversely affect economic conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our
business in particular and high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our
revenues, and as such decrease our operating margins.
69. Changing laws, rules and regulations in India and legal uncertainties including any adverse application of corporate
and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, cash flows, prospects and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The Government of India
(“GoI”) may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect hyperlocal commerce in general, which
could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licences from the government and
other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements. New compliance requirements could increase our costs or otherwise
adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Furthermore, the manner in which new
requirements will be enforced or interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our operations and could adversely affect our operations.
Any changes to such laws, including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Furthermore, the GoI introduced new laws relating to social security, occupational safety, industrial relations and wages
namely, the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”), the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions
Code, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and the Code on Wages, 2019, which consolidate, subsume and replace
numerous existing central labour legislations, were to take effect from April 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Labour
Codes”). The GoI has deferred the effective date of implementation of the respective Labour Codes, and they shall come into
force from such dates as may be notified. Different dates may also be appointed for the coming into force of different provisions
of the Labour Codes. While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been finalized, as an immediate
consequence, the coming into force of these codes could increase the financial burden on our Company, which may adversely
impact our profitability. For instance, under the Social Security Code, a new concept of deemed remuneration has been
introduced, such that where an employee receives more than half (or such other percentage as may be notified by the Central
Government) of their total remuneration in the form of allowances and other amounts that are not included within the
definition of wages under the Social Security Code, the excess amount received shall be deemed as remuneration and
accordingly be added to wages for the purposes of the Social Security Code and the compulsory contribution to be made
towards the employees’ provident fund.
In addition, the Government of India has introduced The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita, 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which have replaced the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, respectively. The Government has deferred the effective date of
implementation of the respective Labor Codes, which shall come into force from such dates as may be notified. While the rules
for implementation under these codes have not been finalized, the coming into force of these codes could increase the financial
burden on our Company, which may adversely impact our business and profitability.
We are required to comply with a range of legal and regulatory obligations, including periodic filings and disclosures under
applicable laws. In the event of inadvertent errors or non-compliance in these filings or disclosures, we may be subject to
regulatory scrutiny or penalties. Further, unfavourable changes in the applicability, implementation, or interpretations of
existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment laws governing our business and
operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional
approvals. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with new requirements under any laws
applicable to us, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects. Uncertainty in the
applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy in the
jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body of administrative or judicial precedent
may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our
ability to grow our business in the future. Additionally, if we are affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or
72interpretation of any provision of such laws and regulations or any related proceedings or are required to bear any costs to
comply with such provisions or to defend such proceedings, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected.
70. Any adverse application or interpretation of competition laws could adversely affect our business and cash flows.
The Competition Act, 2002, as amended (the “Competition Act”) was enacted for the purpose of preventing practices that
have or are likely to have an adverse effect on competition (“AAEC”) in certain markets in India and has mandated the
Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”) to separate such practices. Under the Competition Act, any arrangement,
understanding or action, whether formal or informal, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is deemed void and attracts
substantial penalties.
Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves determination of purchase or sale prices, limits
or controls production, or shares the market by way of geographical area or number of customers in the relevant market is
presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India and shall be void. Further, the
Competition Act prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a
company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager,
secretary or other officer of such company, that person shall be guilty of the contravention and liable to be punished.
The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an AAEC in India.
Consequently, certain agreements entered into by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has
extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such
agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. The effects of the provisions of the Competition Act on the
agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. However, since we pursue an acquisition driven
growth strategy, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the
Competition Act, any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny
or prosecution by the CCI, or any prohibition or substantial penalties levied under the Competition Act, which would adversely
affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
The GoI has also passed the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023, which has proposed several amendments to the Competition
Act, such as introduction of deal value thresholds for assessing whether a merger or acquisition qualifies as a “combination”,
expedited merger review timelines, codification of the lowest standard of “control” and enhanced penalties for providing false
information or a failure to provide material information.
If we pursue acquisitions in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any
provision of the Competition Act, any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may
be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, or any prohibition or substantial penalties levied under the Competition
Act, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
71. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments in India against us or our management.
Our Company is incorporated under the laws of India. All of our Company’s assets are located in India and majority of our
Company’s Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel are residents of India. As a result, you
may be unable to:
• effect service of process in jurisdictions outside of India, including in the U.S., upon us and these other persons or entities;
• enforce in the Indian courts, judgments obtained in courts of jurisdictions outside of India against us and these other
persons or entities, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of securities laws of jurisdictions
outside India; and
• enforce judgements obtained in U.S. courts against us and these other persons or entities, including judgments predicated
upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Civil Procedure
Code, 1908 (“Civil Code”). India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of
foreign judgments. The United Kingdom, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong have been declared by the GoI to
be reciprocating territories for purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Code. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where
a foreign judgement has been rendered by a superior court, within the meaning of such section, in any country or territory
outside of India which the GoI has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in India by
proceedings in execution as if the judgement had been rendered by the relevant court in India. However, Section 44A of the
Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees not being of the same nature as amounts payable in respect of taxes, other
charges of a like nature or of a fine or other penalties. A judgement of a court of a country which is not a reciprocating territory
may be enforced in India only by a suit on the judgement under Section 13 of the Civil Code, and not by proceedings in
execution. Under the Civil Code, a court in India shall, on the production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of
a foreign judgement, presume that the judgement was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless the contrary
73appears on record. However, under the Civil Code, such presumption may be displaced by proving that the court did not have
jurisdiction. The Civil Code only permits the enforcement of monetary decrees, not being in the nature of any amounts payable
in respect of taxes, other charges, fines or penalties.
Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal recognition with India cannot be enforced by proceedings
in execution in India. The United States and India do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and
enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. A final judgement for the payment of money rendered by any court
in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating
territory, would not be enforceable in India. Even if an investor obtained a judgement in such a jurisdiction against us, our
officers or directors, it may be required to institute a new proceeding in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court. Any
such suit must be brought in India within three years from the date of the judgement in the same manner as any other suit filed
to enforce a civil liability in India.
However, the party in whose favour such final judgement is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based
on a final judgement that has been obtained in the United States or other such jurisdiction within three years of obtaining such
final judgement. It is unlikely that an Indian court would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action were
brought in India. Moreover, it is unlikely that an Indian court will award damages to the extent awarded in a final judgement
rendered outside India if it believes that the number of damages awarded were excessive or inconsistent with public policy or
Indian law. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgement in India is required to obtain the prior approval of
the RBI under the FEMA to execute such a judgement or to repatriate any amount recovered.
72. Any adverse change in India's credit rating by an international rating agency could materially adversely affect our
business and profitability.
India's sovereign rating could be downgraded due to several factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy or a decline in
India's foreign exchange reserves, which are outside our control. Any adverse change in India's credit ratings by international
rating agencies may adversely impact the Indian economy and consequently our ability to raise additional financing in a timely
manner or at all, as well as the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This
could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance, ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and
the price of our Equity Shares.
73. Political changes could adversely affect economic conditions in India.
Our business depends on a number of general macroeconomic and demographic factors in India which are beyond our control.
In particular, our revenue and profitability are strongly correlated to demand of our products by industries, which is influenced
by general economic conditions. Recessionary economic cycles, a protracted economic slowdown, a worsening economy,
increased unemployment, increased energy prices, rising interest rates or other industry-wide cost pressures could also affect
consumer behaviour.
Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy and hence our results of operations and cash flows, may include the
macroeconomic climate, including any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation; exchange rate fluctuations; scarcity of credit
or other financing in India; prevailing income conditions among Indian consumers and Indian companies; epidemics,
pandemics or any other public health crisis in India or in countries in the region or globally; volatility in, and actual or perceived
trends in trading activity on India’s principal stock exchanges; changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies; political
instability, terrorism or military conflict in India in particular the conflict in April and May of 2025 with Pakistan or in countries
in the region or globally; occurrence of natural or man-made disasters; other significant regulatory or economic developments
in or affecting India or its consumption sector; international business practices that may conflict with other customs or legal
requirements to which we are subject, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws; protectionist and other adverse public
policies, including local content requirements, import/export tariffs, increased regulations or capital investment requirements;
logistical and communications challenges; downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by rating agencies; changes in political
environment on account of upcoming elections; difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on
commercially acceptable terms or on a timely basis; and being subject to the jurisdiction of foreign courts, including uncertainty
of judicial processes and difficulty enforcing contractual agreements or judgments in foreign legal systems or incurring
additional costs to do so. Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian
economy, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and the price of our
Equity Shares.
74. Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, including
conditions in the United States, Europe and certain emerging economies in Asia. Currencies of a few Asian countries have in
the past suffered depreciation against the U.S. Dollar owing to various factors. Although economic conditions vary across
markets, loss of investor confidence in one emerging economy may cause increased volatility across other economies, including
India. Any worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or
indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and us. Financial instability in other parts of the world
74could have a global influence and thereby negatively affect the Indian economy. Concerns related to a trade war between large
economies may lead to increased risk aversion and volatility in global capital markets and consequently have an impact on the
Indian economy. These developments, or the perception that any related developments could occur, have had and may continue
to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and financial markets, and may significantly reduce global
market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets or restrict our access to
capital. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and reduce the
price of our Equity Shares.
75. If inflation rises in India, increased costs may impact our ability to maintain or achieve profitability.
India has experienced high inflation relative to developed countries in the recent past. Increasing inflation in India could cause
a rise in the costs of rent, wages, raw materials and other expenses. High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more
difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs. Our Company has no control over fluctuations in the price and
availability of raw materials or variations in products caused by these factors, any of which could impact the prices imposed
by its suppliers, making the cost of raw materials or packaging materials more expensive for our suppliers and increase the
prices of our products for customers. Any such increases may reduce demand and affect our overall financial performance.
76. The determination of the Price Band is based on several factors and assumptions, and the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further, the current market price
of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book Running Lead Managers is below
their respective issue prices.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company in
consultation with the BRLMs. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in
consultation with the BRLMs through the Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including factors
as described under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 139 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares
after the Offer.
The market price of the Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the
Offer Price. We cannot assure you that the investors will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price
resulting in a loss of all or part of the investment. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band would be
determined shall be disclosed in the advertisement to be issued for publication of the Price Band. For further details, see “Basis
for Offer Price” beginning on page 139.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our key performance indicators (“KPIs”) shall become higher than our listed
comparable industry peers in the future. An inability to improve, maintain or compete, or any reduction in such KPIs in
comparison with the listed comparable industry peers may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares. There can be
no assurance that our methodologies are correct or will not change and accordingly, our position in the market may differ from
that presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
The disposal of Equity Shares by our Promoters or any of our Company’s other principal shareholders or the perception that
such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed
companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that our Promoters and
other major shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Furthermore, we cannot
assure you that the disposal of the Equity Shares in the future, if any, by our Promoters or other major shareholders will not be
at a price higher than the Offer Price.
In addition to the above, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings managed
by the BRLMs is below their respective issue price. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures –
Price information of past issues handled by the Book Running Lead Managers” on page 410. The factors that could affect the
market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance, results of our Company
post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop, or sustained trading
will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after
listing.
77. Subsequent to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measure and Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity
and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, in the past, have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures with respect to the
shares of listed companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) in order to enhance market integrity, safeguard the interests of
investors and potential market abuses. In addition to various surveillance measures already implemented, and in order to further
safeguard the interest of investors, the SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures
(“ASM”) and graded surveillance measures (“GSM”).
75ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain objective
parameters such as price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, client concentration, variation in volume of shares and
volatility of shares, among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price
quoted on the Stock Exchanges is not commensurate with, among other things, the financial performance and financial
condition measures such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net-worth, other measures such as price-to-earnings multiple
and market capitalization.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors which
may result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity
Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters
prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other
surveillance measures, which could result in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI
and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, limiting trading frequency or
freezing of price on upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the
Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on market price, trading
and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company. Any such instance may result in a
loss of our reputation and diversion of our management’s attention and may also decrease the market price of our Equity Shares
which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
78. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate
procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would
apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law, including in relation to class actions, may
not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may
face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another
jurisdiction.
79. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares and dividends paid
on the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares held as
investments in an Indian company are generally taxable in India.
Any capital gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognised stock exchange will be subject to capital gains tax
in India at the specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the recognised stock
exchanges, time period for which the shares were held, etc. In case of non-resident seller, capital gains arising from the sale of
the listed equity shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided
under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s
ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their
own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares. Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-term capital
gains tax in India, on the sale of any listed equity shares held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of
transfer. Further, any capital gains realised on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately
preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India. In addition to capital gains tax, Securities
Transaction Tax (“STT”), will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the equity shares are sold as
per the rates prescribed.
In terms of the Finance Act (No. 2), 2024, taxes payable by investors on long-term capital gains arising from transfer taking
place on or after July 23, 2024, shall be calculated at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), where the long-
term capital gains exceed ₹125,000.0, subject to payment of STT. Where such shares are sold on which no STT has been paid,
such gains will be taxable at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) without giving the benefit of threshold of
₹125,000. Short-term capital gains arising from transfer taking place on or after July 23, 2024, would be subject to tax at the
rate of 20.0% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to payment of STT. Otherwise, such gains will be taxed at the
applicable rates. Similarly, any business income realised from the transfer of listed equity shares held as trading assets is taxable
at the applicable tax rates subject to any treaty relief, if applicable, to a non-resident seller.
The Finance Act, 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 with effect from July 1, 2020 and clarified that, in the absence of
a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through stock exchanges
will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus will be on the transferor.
The stamp duty for transfer of certain securities, other than debentures, on a delivery basis is currently specified at 0.015% and
on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount.
Under the Finance Act 2020, any dividends paid by an Indian company will be subject to tax in the hands of the shareholders
at applicable rates. Such taxes will be withheld by the Indian company paying dividends. Our Company may or may not grant
the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non- resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source. Investors
76are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning Equity Shares.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign
investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention
of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning,
investing or trading in our Equity Shares. Any dividends paid by an Indian company will be subject to tax in the hands of the
shareholders at applicable rates. Such taxes will be withheld by the Indian company paying dividends. Non-resident
shareholders may claim benefit of the applicable tax treaty, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. We may or may not
grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source
pursuant to any corporate action including dividends. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully
consider the potential tax consequences of owning Equity Shares.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign
investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention
of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
80. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the
value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
Subject to requisite approvals, on listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any
dividends in respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant
foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time taken for such
conversion and repatriation transaction charges incurred, if any, may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition,
any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares
outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may
reduce the proceeds received by Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar
has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse
effect on the returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
81. Our Company’s Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and may experience price and volume fluctuations
following the completion of the Offer, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop, the price of our
Equity Shares may be volatile may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer and you
may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price or at all.
Prior to this Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may not develop or be
sustained after this Offer. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop or, if
developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined
through a book building process and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares at the time of
commencement of trading of our Equity Shares or at any time thereafter. Furthermore, the price of the Equity Shares may be
volatile, and the investors may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all. The market price of
the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating
results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India and volatility in the Stock
Exchanges and securities markets elsewhere in the world.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares
after this Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including
but not limited to those described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The market price of our Equity Shares may be
influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
• failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after this Offer, or changes in the estimates of our
performance by analysts;
• failure to launch new products;
• activities of competitors;
• future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our shareholders;
• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;
• the public's reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports; and
• general economic conditions.
Furthermore, the stock market often experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of a particular company. Recent stock run-ups, divergences in valuation ratios relative to those seen
during traditional markets, high-short interest or short squeezes, and strong and a typical retail investor interest in the markets
may also affect the demand for and price of our Equity Shares that are not directly correlated to our operating performance. On
77some occasions, our stock price may be, or may be purported to be, subject to “short squeeze” activity. A “short squeeze” is a
technical market condition that occurs when the price of the stock increases substantially, forcing market participants
who have taken a position that its price would fall (i.e. who had sold the stock “short”), to buy it, which in turn may create
significant, short-term demand for the stock not for fundamental reasons, but rather due to the need for such market participants
to acquire the stock in order to forestall the risk of even greater losses. A “short squeeze” condition in the market for a stock
can led to short-term conditions involving very high volatility and trading that may or may not track fundamental valuation
models. As a result of these fluctuations, our Equity Shares may trade at prices significantly below the Offer Price. These broad
market fluctuations and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our
Company’s performance. There can be no assurance that the investors will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the
Offer Price.
82. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in
the Offer.
Subject to requisite approvals, the Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws,
certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence.
Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited within one working
day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges. The Allotment of Equity Shares in the
Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with depository participant could take approximately
two Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading
approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid/Offer Closing Date. There
could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining approval or
otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can
be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will
commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates
if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time
periods.
83. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute your
shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by the Promoters may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth, whether organic or inorganic, through future equity offerings. Any future equity
issuances by us, including a primary offering, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares including through
exercise of employee stock options, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity
issuances by us or disposal of our Equity Shares by the Promoters or any of our other principal shareholders or any other change
in our shareholding structure to comply with minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India or
any public perception regarding such issuance or sales may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may
lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring
additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that our existing shareholders
including our Promoters will not dispose of further Equity Shares after the completion of this Offer (subject to compliance with
the lock-in provisions under the SEBI ICDR Regulations) or pledge or encumber their Equity Shares. Any future issuances
could also dilute the value of shareholder’s investment in the Equity Shares and adversely affect the trading price of our Equity
Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the Offer Price. We may also issue convertible debt securities to
finance our future growth or fund our business activities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales
might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
84. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely
permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines
and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in
compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then
prior regulatory approval will be required. Furthermore, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in
all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow
certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible
for granting approval for foreign investment. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of
shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance
certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. Furthermore, this is subject to the shares having been held on a repatriation
basis and, either the security having been sold in compliance with the pricing guidelines or, the relevant regulatory approval
having been obtained for the sale of shares and corresponding remittance of the sale proceeds
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been
incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Rules, investments where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is
situated in or is a citizen of a country which shares land border with India, can only be made through the Government approval
78route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. Furthermore, in the event of
transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in
the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership
will also require approval of the Government of India. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore
derivative instruments. Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made similar
amendment to the FEMA Rules. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental
agency can be obtained with or without any particular terms or conditions or at all.
85. Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such regulatory
restrictions limit our financing sources and could constrain our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance
existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that any required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign
currencies will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an adverse effect
on our business growth, financial condition and results of operations.
86. Qualified Institutional Buyers and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in
terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual
Investors are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) and Non-Institutional Investors are required
to block the Bid amount on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during
the Bid/Offer Period and/or withdraw their Bids until the Bid/Offer Closing date, but not thereafter. While we are required to
complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where
such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date
or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares,
including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our
business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and
Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the
investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to
decline on listing. Therefore, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors will not be able to withdraw or lower their bids following
adverse developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business,
results of operations, cash flows or otherwise between the dates of submission of their Bids and Allotment.
87. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby
may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, 2013 a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity
shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing ownership
percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a
special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution. However, if the laws of the
jurisdiction the investors are located in does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering
document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise
their pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be
issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investors’ benefit. The value the custodian receives on the sale of such
securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise
pre-emption rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in us would be reduced.
88. A third-party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post this Offer, because of anti-takeover provisions under
Indian law.
As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in
control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or
indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in
concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are
protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company subsequent to
completion of this Offer. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity
Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders, such a takeover may not be
attempted or consummated because of SEBI Takeover Regulations.

7. Description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyze, track or monitor the operational and/or
financial performance of our Company
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review
and assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs are not intended to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the Restated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to evaluate our financial and
operating performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with
Ind AS. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information
used by other companies and hence their comparability may be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be
considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our
operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes
that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in
comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides consistency and
comparability with past financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in
accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational
metric to evaluate our business.
Brief explanation of the relevance of the KPIs for our business operations is set forth below. We have also described
and defined the KPIs, as applicable, in “Definitions and Abbreviations” beginning on page 2.

Macroeconomic Overview of the Global & Indian Economy
Overview of the Global Economy
Review and Outlook of Global GDP
Global economic growth remained steady during 2024 with several large economies showing resilience despite geopolitical
tensions, high interest rates and the growing intensity of extreme weather events. Further tightening of financial conditions has
also challenged global trade and industrial production in 2024. However major policy shifts are resetting the global trade system
and bringing uncertainty to the resilient global economy. The outlook for global trade has declined sharply due to surge in
tariffs and trade policy. The new tariff measures by the United States and countermeasures by its trading partners may have
adverse impact on economic growth and inflation. The sudden rise in trade tension and extremely high level of policy
uncertainty is expected to have a significant impact on global economic activity.
The global growth is projected to decline in 2025. Growth in advanced economies is projected to slow on account of greater
policy uncertainty, trade tensions and softer demand momentum. In emerging markets and developing economies, growth is
expected to slow down with significant downgrades for countries affected most by recent trade measures. The growth outlook
is relatively more stable for India despite global environment uncertainty and subdued growth. The steady expansion of the
economy is supported by private consumption, particularly in rural areas.

Note: On Calendar Year (CY) basis
* Euro area comprises 19 member countries of the EU
Source: International Monetary Fund (IMF); World Economic Outlook (WEO) – April 2025 update, Crisil Intelligence
Global GDP growth is projected to decline from an estimated 3.3% in 2024 to 2.8% in 2025. This is lower than IMF previous
estimates with downward revision across all major countries and reflects largely the direct effects of the new trade measures
and their indirect effects through trade linkage, heightened uncertainty and deteriorating sentiments. The growth impact of
tariffs in the short term varies across countries depending on trade relationships, industry composition, policy responses and
opportunities for trade diversification.
• In the case of advanced economies which include the US, Japan and Euro area, growth forecast is estimated to decline
1.8% in 2024 to 1.4% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026. The downward revisions include for Canada, Japan, the United
Kingdom and the United States.
• The United States growth is estimated to decrease to 1.8% in 2025, the downward revision is mainly attributed with
greater policy uncertainty, trade tension and softer demand outlook, given slower than anticipated consumption growth.
Tariffs are also impacted adversely on growth in CY2026 which is projected to 1.7% amid moderate private
consumption.
• In the Euro area growth is expected to decline marginally by 0.8% in 2025. Rising uncertainty and tariffs are key
drivers of the subdued growth in 2025. The modest pickup expected in 2026 includes stronger consumption on the
back of rising real wages and a projected fiscal easing in Germany. Within a region Spain’s growth projection is 2.5%
an upward revision from the previous IMF estimates. This reflects a large carryover from better than expected outruns
in 2024 and reconstruction activities following floods.
• In Japan growth is expected to decline 0.6% in 2025.The effect of tariff announcement on April 2, 2025 and associated
uncertainty offset the expected strengthening of private consumption with above inflation wage growth boosting
household disposable income.
• The United Kingdom growth projection for 2025 is 1.1%. This reflects a smaller carryover from 2024, the impact of
recent tariff announcements, an increase in gilt yields and weaker private consumption amid higher inflation as a result
of regulated prices and energy costs.
• The growth rate in emerging market and developing economies which include China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico,
and South Africa is expected to drop to 3.7% 2025 and 3.9% in in 2026, after a marked slowdown in 2024, growth in
emerging and developing Asia is expected to decline 4.5% in 2025 and 4.6% in 2026. China growth is revised
downward to 4.0% in 2025 from 4.6% of IMF previous estimates. This reflects the impact of recently implemented
tariffs, which offset the carryover from 2024 (because of stronger than expected fourth quarter) and fiscal expansion
in the budget.
• The growth outlook for India, is relatively more stable at 6.2% in 2025, supported by private consumption, particularly
in rural areas, but this rate is 0.3 % lower than that in the IMF previous outlook on account of higher levels of trade
tensions and global uncertainty.
157Overview of the Indian Economy
Review of GDP growth over Fiscals 2020-2025 and Outlook for Fiscals 2025-2030
India ranks as the world’s 5th largest economy and is the fastest growing among major economies. The Indian economy logged
4.1% CAGR between Fiscals 2020 and 2025. Economic growth was supported by benign crude oil prices, soft interest rates
and low current account deficit. The Indian government also undertook key reforms and initiatives, such as implementation of
the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Make in India, financial inclusion initiatives, and
gradual opening of sectors such as retail, e-commerce, defense, railways, and insurance for foreign direct investments (“FDIs”).
Growth surpassed forecasts in Fiscal 2024, driven by strong government spending and a sharp rise in manufacturing and
construction growth. Globally, growth in major economies such as the US and China beat estimates and has contributed to
better export earnings for India.
According to the National statistics Offices (“NSO”) second advance estimates (“SAE”) projects India’s real gross domestic
product (“GDP”) growth at 6.5% for the Fiscal 2025, slightly higher than first advance estimates. GDP growth also revised
upward to 9.2% for Fiscal 2024 and 7.6% for Fiscal 2023. However, the Fiscal 2025 growth shows significant slowdown from
the previous fiscal 2024 led by weak investments and reduced government consumption, as the general elections resulted in
slowdown in government capex. However, growth improved in private consumption and exports.
Crisil Intelligence expects GDP growth to remain steady at 6.5% in Fiscal 2026 but with downside risks. Export growth is
expected to be a drag on GDP growth, given the imposition of 50% tariffs on India by the U.S. from August. Certain labour-
intensive sectors are particularly vulnerable. Slowing global growth may put further pressure on export growth. However,
consumption will get a boost from rate cuts, healthy rains, soft inflation and tax relief.

Review and outlook on the Indian two-wheeler (2W) Industry
Review of Indian domestic two-wheeler industry (Fiscal 2020 to 2025)
India is the largest motorised (engine-powered) two-wheeler market in the world by volume, with domestic sales of 20 million
units in fiscal 2025. Two-wheeler sales volume constituted 73% of the total automobile market, which includes two-wheelers,
three-wheelers, passenger vehicles (PVs), commercial vehicles (CVs) and tractors by volume in fiscal 2025. The passenger
vehicle segment contributed about 16.2% to the Indian automobile industry, while CVs contributed about 3.6% with three-
wheelers and tractors contributing 2.8% and 3.3% respectively.
The two-wheeler segment witnesses a healthy demand in India and is preferred over four-wheelers by most of the Indian
population, especially for their regular commute. This is primarily due to the lower acquisition cost, higher mileage, lower
maintenance cost, ease of navigation especially during rush hours, hassle-free parking and suitability of two-wheelers on rough
roads.
Two-wheeler industry contributes the highest share amongst all other vehicle category majorly driven by revival of rural
sentiments and new launches. Fiscal 2025 witnessed the strong performance in the domestic segment and the sharp growth in
rural demand accelerated growth momentum in two-wheeler sales.
Historic production development - Fiscal 2020 to 2025
The domestic production clocked a CAGR of 2.6% over the period of 5 years to reach a volume of 23.9 million in Fiscal 2025.

During Fiscal 2009 to Fiscal 2019, India’s GDP as well as private final consumption expenditure grew at a healthy pace of 7%
CAGR. Moreover, inflation levels were on a tapering trend reaching ~3% levels in Fiscal 2019. This favorable macro-economic
environment led to an increase in disposable incomes and gave a thrust to the industry growth over the decade. In addition, the
expansion in vehicle portfolio by OEMs, the accelerated growth in the scooter segment and the healthy growth of the premium
motorcycle (=>125 cc) sub-segment provided an additional support to the industry growth over the decade. These favorable
factors helped the two-wheeler industry reach a historic high of 24.5 million volumes in fiscal 2019. These record high
production numbers were despite the higher-than-normal price rise (due to BSIV implementation in fiscal 2018) as well as the
GST implementation (Fiscal 2018) and demonetization (Fiscal 2016) that limited growth of the industry.
During this period, significant technological development was also witnessed pertaining to fuel injection systems. While some
two-wheeler manufacturers began experimenting with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) before 2019 to improve performance and
emissions, it was only with the implementation of BSVI norms in April 2020 that EFI became the preferred fueling system
across the industry. Although EFI was not legally mandated, the need to meet BSVI’s stringent emission norms effectively
made it the dominant fueling choice, replacing traditional carburetors. In 2019, the Indian government also mandated
installation of Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) on two-wheeler, driving the adoption of sensor technology in this sector.
Another significant development post-2018 was the replacement of traditional starter motors with Integrated Starter Generator
(ISG) technology. This system gained traction in the two-wheeler industry due to its ability to deliver silent and reliable engine
starts - a key benefit for urban traffic conditions. While it also contributed marginally to fuel efficiency improvements, the
primary driver of adoption was the improved customer experience through smoother and quieter starts.
However, over the next three years, from Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2022, the industry witnessed a contraction at a CAGR of 10%
as the pandemic, nationwide lockdowns, reduced mobility, unfavorable macroeconomic scenario, closure of schools, colleges
and offices, and work from home impacted the demand for two-wheelers.
With improvement in mobility, reopening of schools/colleges/offices, revival in macroeconomic environment, industry
production revived and clocked a 10% CAGR between Fiscal 2022 to Fiscal 2025. The gradual uptick in production volume
was witnessed during this period owing to recovery from pandemic, rising demand due to improved rural sentiments and
increased export growth. This period also saw a surge in electric two-wheeler segment and first-time industry reaches to more
than million units’ sale in EV segment.
Split of industry by domestic sales and exports- fiscal 2020-2025
The total sales of the two-wheeler industry grew at a CAGR of 3% between Fiscal 2020 to Fiscal 2025 and reached a volume
of 24.2 million in fiscal 2025. Domestic sales, which contribute more than 80% of the total sales of the industry, witnessed
growth at 2.8% CAGR while the smaller exports segment clocked a faster 3.6% growth off the low base.
The domestic industry witnessed a sharp drop at 11.4 CAGR% between Fiscal 2020 – Fiscal 2022 amidst the pandemic and
reached a low of 13.7 million in fiscal 2022. From the reduced base of fiscal 2022, domestic sales rebounded in fiscal 2023
and recorded a healthy growth of 19%, driven by improving demand sentiments and the normalization of economic activities
and increased mobility. The pent-up demand due to the postponement during the pandemic period and a sharp rise in scooters
demand with restarting of colleges and offices provided a boost to the industry demand. Despite the normalization of public
166transport, improved frequency of intracity bus and railway services, the demand for the last mile mobility, and in turn the
demand for two-wheelers remained buoyant during the year.

However, the higher interest outgo with increased repo rates and further increase in vehicle prices restricted the growth of the
domestic sales in Fiscal 2023.
In fiscal 2024, the domestic sales grew by a further 13%, supported by further improvement in the macroeconomic scenario,
rural support, continued traction for premium motorcycles as well as scooters. In addition, continued demand for electric two-
wheelers despite the subsidy cut supported the growth in fiscal 2024. The new launches, especially in the premium segments
provided an added support to the demand. The commuter motorcycle segment also witnessed some improvement during the
year after consecutive contractions aided by limited rise in operating costs as well as increased customer incentives.
In the fiscal 2025, Industry sales clocked 20 million units, an increase of 8% over the previous year. Strong performance in
rural area witnessed during the fiscal year. As per Federation of Automobile Dealer Association (FADA) two-wheeler market
grew by 8.39% in rural area compared to 6.77% in urban areas in the fiscal 2025.The growth has been driven by recovery in
the rural market aided with healthy crop prices boost the rural incomes and pent-up replacement demand.
Scooter sale also supported by urban income and rising demand for scooters in the rural market. Additionally, premiumisation
to also aids volume across both Motorcycles and scooters. Continued demand for premium vehicles as well as electrification
provided an added support to the domestic market during the year.

Between Fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2025, the domestic sales of two-wheeler grew at 2.8% CAGR to reach ~20 million levels. Over
the last 5 years, the electrification within the industry has significantly contributed to growth in overall industry sales. In fiscal
2022, Electric 2-wheelers achieved highest growth. The sharp rise in EV was driven by government push for EV adoption and
increasing consumer interest in electric vehicles.
In Fiscal 2022, despite a continued decline in ICE two-wheeler sales, the strong growth momentum in EV retails - which grew
by over 460% year-on-year - partially offset the decline in overall two-wheeler sales volume, even though the share of EVs
was minimal compared to ICE. During Fiscal 2020 to 2025, ICE segment grew marginally by 1.6 %. However, EV retails grew
with 112% CAGR for the same period. For Fiscal 2025, EV penetration reached around 5.8% and EV volumes recorded 1.15
million units.
Electrification in the 2W industry
EVs are gaining global interest amidst the need to curb pollution. In India EVs are gaining popularity, as the government is
extending support via Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles (FAME II), EMPS subsidy and latest
PM E-drive subsidy, state subsidy and tax rate cuts to encourage EV adoption. Further, growing awareness and concerns about
environmental issues are likely to drive electrification in India.
EV sales have grown, especially post pandemic aided by the rising awareness, government support and expanding EV portfolio
of the industry. The entry of the new age non-traditional OEMs like Ola, Ather, Okinawa and Ampere provided an additional
boost to the EV segment in India.

Improvement in Rural Income and Infrastructure
Rural regions contribute 55–60% of India’s two-wheeler sales, supported by better road connectivity, rural infrastructure, and
agricultural income. Government push for rural development and good monsoon forecasts is expected to sustain income growth.
Improved rural affordability is driving penetration even in Tier 3–4 markets.
Improvement in rural infrastructure and road connectivity have helped the scooters segment to make inroads into the rural areas
despite rural customers’ preference for motorcycles. Under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), launched in
2000, the government aims to build all-weather roads in the rural regions to improve connectivity and support the rural economy.
Over the years, the government has successfully executed a major portion of the PMGSY annual target set for the year. Even
during fiscal 2024, it achieved 89% of the target constructing 26,000 km of 38,000 km target. Expansion of the rural road
network not only improves connectivity but also aids the rural economy. So, the rural incomes have a direct bearing on the
two-wheeler industry sales.
172The rural areas are still primarily agrarian. With 86% of land holdings, small and marginal farmers dominate the country’s
agricultural sector. They primarily rely on monsoons for water. Hence, its timely arrival and adequacy are crucial for a good
crop.
In fiscal 2024 as per IMD monsoon deviation was -6%. During the fiscal 2025, India received favorable rains with 8% higher
rainfall than its long period average (108% of the LPA) in the June to September 2024 period. The expected improvement in
rural incomes, subdued inflation levels will aid the two-wheeler industry growth.

Premiumization in the industry
Consumers are increasingly opting for premium motorcycles and scooters with advanced tech, stylish design, and better features.
This trend is backed by rising disposable income, easy finance availability, and lifestyle upgrades. Premium models witnessed
robust growth in fiscal 2025, reflecting a shift in buyer preferences. The share of premium Motorcycle has increased to ~54%
in fiscal 2025 compared to 52% in fiscal 2024. Premium scooter share remained at 47% for both the fiscals. Premium segment
particularly above 125cc segment witnessed substantial growth. Premium two wheelers offer a range of features such as larger
engines, connectivity, keyless features, improved riding comfort, and enhanced performance. High performance EVs also
contribute towards premiumization. Further growing urban demand for 2Ws to counter traffic congestion, and growing EV
portfolio is attracting new age customers to the premium segment.
Shrinking replacement cycles
Replacement cycles have reduced from 10–12 years a decade ago to around 6–7 years currently. Factors include evolving
customer preferences, availability of finance, and faster tech obsolescence. This trend is driving a higher frequency of repeat
purchases.
The rising share of scooters with a relatively lower ownership holding period is another factor contributing to the shortening
of the replacement cycle. Rising premiumization and electrification is also supporting the trend. The shortened replacement
cycle for the average customer is an added boost for the two-wheeler sales.
R&D support
The two-wheeler customer base in India has traditionally been rooted in rural and semi-rural regions, particularly for entry-
level commuter motorcycles. However, in recent years, urban areas have seen growing traction from young, tech-savvy, Gen
Z customers - especially in scooters and EVs - who prefer modern designs, connected features, and premium styling. Key
trends driving these demands include the need for hybrid systems that improve efficiency, efficient start-stop systems and
technologies that help in noise reduction and performance improvement.
Integrated Starter Generator system
The Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system has revolutionized the two-wheeler industry by offering features that improve
the overall user drive experience. It eliminates the starter motor and related assembly by utilizing the alternator as a motor for
starting the engine enabling silent, fast and reliable start, which improves the idle start stop experience and leads to lower mass
emissions and improved fuel economy. Idle start-stop function allows the engine automatically switched off when the vehicle
is stationary such as at a traffic light and restart instantly when rider applies the throttle saving fuel and reducing emission. ISG
system is often lighter than traditional starter motor and generator setups, potentially contributing to better fuel economy and
performance. OEMs are focusing on implementing ISG technology to their high-volume models due to its varied features and
benefits.
Smart Ignition systems
173Smart ignition systems have radically transformed two-wheelers by integrating advanced safety, security and convenience
technologies, moving far beyond traditional mechanical key-based systems. Few examples of smart ignition are as follows:
• Keyless and biometric systems: Modern vehicles feature true keyless ignition, using smart cards or mobile apps for
secure access – eliminating physical keys and enabling multi-modal authentication. These systems increase anti-
theft protection and allow for personal user settings and remote management, significantly raising convenience and
security.
• IoT and connected features: Integration of IoT connectivity enables remote diagnostics, location tracking, ride
analytics and even predictive maintenance via dedicated apps. Fleet operators use these features for efficient
monitoring and management, including remote locking/unlocking, route planning and preventive maintenance
scheduling.
• Environment and efficiency impact: Hybrid ignition systems coordinate battery and engine use, optimizing
efficiency and emissions control based on speed and conditions.
Electric Fuel Injection
Similarly, the revolutionization of Electric Fuel Injection (EFI) in vehicles marks a significant transformation in automotive
technology, advancing from mechanical carburetor systems to sophisticated, computer-controlled fuel management. This
change made engines more efficient, responsive and environmentally friendly by using real-time data from sensors to optimize
the air-fuel mixture dynamically. Modern EFI also integrates advanced diagnostics, over-the-air software updates and
compatibility with hybrid powertrains.
Silent start technology in 2W
In this technology due to the use of ISG (ACG- Alternating Current Generator in Honda), instead of the traditional started
motors, engines start without noticeable jolt or noise. The ISG system eliminates the noise and clunks associated with traditional
starter motors resulting in a much quieter start. This feature, typically found in scooters like Honda Activa 125, eliminates gear
meshing noise and provides a smoother, quieter startup experience.
ISG system often requires less maintenance compared to older starter systems. It also provides a smoother and more gradual
start compared to traditional starters.
Idle stop system
The ISG starter also ensures comfortable frequent operation of Idling stop system. The Idling stop system automatically
switches the engine off at the traffic light and other brief stops, reduces fuel consumption and blocks out toxic exhaust gas and
unwanted noise. It enables the engine to stop automatically for few seconds after the vehicle stops moving and when the throttle
is opened, the vehicle engine restarts and takes off smoothly.
Over the years, two-wheelers have seen addition of features such as digital instrument cluster, navigation, USB charging port,
Bluetooth connectivity and cruise control. As technology continues to advance, the two-wheeler industry will witness more
innovations in the coming years, making ride safer and more enjoyable for the customer, in turn, supporting the growth of the
industry over the long term. The EV segment has revolutionized the industry in terms of the latest technological designs and
offerings, and ICE vehicles are following with notable advancements. The new-age vehicles offer a wide range of features and
innovations to ensure safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation and that cater to varied consumer needs.
Thus, all the OEMs spend a notable amount on research and development (R&D) to integrate the latest tech, design and features
for the upcoming models. R&D has also become a necessity to analyze the safety of the two-wheeler riders. In the last six years,
the two-wheeler OEMs have spent ~2% of their annual operating income on R&D.

3W segment is categorized into two sub segments, i.e., Passenger vehicle (PV) and Cargo/Goods vehicle (GV). The passenger
vehicle segment contributed the majority share to overall domestic sales of 3Ws, accounting for 81% in fiscal 2024. A
significant decline was witnessed in fiscal 2021 in PVs due to the Covid pandemic and the BS-VI transition. The pandemic
shored up preference for personal mobility and leading to a sharp decline in shared mobility. However, there has been a slight
recovery from fiscal 2022 as demand for shared mobility gradually increased.
The Goods segment accounted for 19% share in fiscal 2024 on a high base of fiscal 2023. The Goods segment contributed the
highest 33% in 2021 with robust demand for last-mile delivery, particularly in urban areas. Electric mobility has been making
strong presence on the back of a steady pick-up in last-mile connectivity demand and cargo requirement. Electric GV constitutes
28% of total GV sales in 2024, compared with 16% in 2023. The continuous growth shows immense potential, particularly in
the electrification of 3Ws.

players like Mahindra, Piaggio, Atul Auto, and a few smaller manufacturers collective share remain marginal.
Key demand drivers for 3W are:
\
• Easier availability of finance: Sales growth in the domestic 3Ws industry was accelerated by financial incentives, such as
subsidies, interest on subvention on loans, and hire-purchase schemes, tax benefit as an incentive to scrapping an old vehicle
(unfit vehicle) along with the offering of the permit-exchange system at no additional cost, easier availability of finance, low
interest rates, and higher funding provided by various banks and NBFC.
• Stable agricultural output: Agri GVA grew at a healthy pace of 4.6 % in fiscal 2025 supported by the healthy, timely and
well-distributed thereby lifting agriculture income by bolstering crop output. The expected improvement in rural incomes,
subdued inflation levels as well as the possibility of a rate cut will aid the three-wheeler industry growth.
• Growth in e-commerce The market has managed to attract not only customers but also global investors and has grown three
times between fiscal 2018 and 2023 due to the deepening internet penetration, rising awareness about online shopping, and
lucrative deals offered by well-established players and start-ups. This rapid growth has also led to an increased demand for
efficient logistics and transportation solutions, particularly in the small load logistics segment, where the need for fast and
reliable delivery of smaller packages has become a key differentiator for e-commerce companies. The last mile delivery
segment, which accounts for a significant portion of the overall logistics cost, is expected to see significant investments in
technology and infrastructure, including the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative modes of transportation.
There is a vast mobility-solution opportunity using EVs in the middle- and last-mile connectivity, with the 3Ws as delivery
vectors. Furthermore, the rise of small load logistics has also led to the emergence of new business models, such as
hyperlocal delivery and same-day delivery, which require specialized logistics solutions and partnerships with local players
to ensure timely and efficient delivery of packages.
• Steady growth in industrial and services GVA: During Fiscal 2019-2024 period, Industry GVA clocked a heathy growth at
4.3% CAGR and in fiscal 2025 Industry GVA recorded 5.6% in fiscal 2025.Services GVA (approximately 55% share in total
GVA), the services GVA witnessed a growth of 7.3% in fiscal 2025.
183Electrification in 3Ws
With the emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining importance globally. India is also a
signatory to the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The country is also
part of the EV30@30 campaign, targeting a 30% sales share for EVs by 2030.
The government is extending its support via Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles (FAME) and
tax-rate cuts to boost EV adoption. Furtherm6ore, growing awareness, concern for environmental issues, and keener focus from
automotive companies are driving electrification in India. The EV segment received a real thrust in the past two years with
model launches, increasing awareness, elevated fuel prices, and improvement in infrastructure support.
The E Auto retails sales has grown at a stupendous pace of 160% CAGR between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2024. The e-3Ws with
high assured utilisation rates are more profitable for businesses, as they become economical to operate at higher utilisation. E-
commerce giants are preferring e-autos for clean and economical last-mile connectivity.
Conversely, the sales of ICE vehicles have contracted at approximately 4% during the same period, supporting the sharp growth
in the E Auto penetration from an insignificant 0.3% in Fiscal 2020 to reached 23% by Fiscal 2025.This indicates remarkable
shift towards electrification in three-wheeler segment.

Key Government initiatives supporting EV adoption in India
PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) Scheme:
The PM E-DRIVE scheme with an outlay of ₹10,900 crore, will be implemented from 1st October 2024 to 31st March 2026,
for faster adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), setting up of charging infrastructure and development of EV manufacturing eco-
system in the country. The primary goal of the scheme is to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), develop essential
charging infrastructure, and establish a robust EV manufacturing ecosystem across the country. Under this scheme, electric
vehicle sales have already seen a record surge, reflecting the growing momentum of EV adoption.
The PM E-DRIVE scheme is implemented through the following key components:
• Subsidies: Demand incentives for electric vehicles such as e-2 wheelers (e-2W), e-3 wheelers (e-3W), e-
ambulances, e-trucks, e-buses and other emerging categories of EVs.
• Grants for creating capital assets: Funding will be provided for the acquisition of electric buses (e-buses), the
establishment of a comprehensive network of charging stations, and the upgrading of the Ministry of Heavy
Industries (MHI) testing facilities.
• Administration of the Scheme including IEC (Information, Education & Communication) activities and fee for
project management agency (PMA).
Under the PM E-DRIVE scheme in Fisal 2024-25, the number of e-2W and e-3W(L5) registered were 10,10,101 and 1,22,982
respectively. Sales of more than 1 million EVs have been successfully achieved in Fiscal 2024-25, is a testament to the MHI’s
flagship schemes including FAME, EMPS, PM E-DRIVE. The subsidy for e3W has now been reduced to ₹ 2,500 per kWh
capped at ₹ 25,000 from November 2024 as the upper sales reached the limit of 80,546 for the year Fiscal 2025.
The scheme aims to incentivize approximately 24.79 lakh electric two-wheelers (e-2Ws). Only e-2Ws equipped with advanced
batteries are eligible for this incentive. Both commercially registered and privately owned e-2Ws can benefit from the scheme.
The initiative is also designed to incentivize around 3.2 lakh electric three-wheelers (e-3Ws), covering registered e-rickshaws/e-
carts or L5 category vehicles. Only those e-3Ws with advanced battery technology are qualified for the demand incentive. The
scheme is solely applicable to e-3Ws used for commercial purposes. A budget of ₹ 500 crores have been allocated for deploying
e-ambulances under this scheme.
This is a new government initiative to encourage the use of e-ambulances for comfortable patient transport. Performance and
safety standards to be established in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), and other relevant stakeholders. Eligibility criteria for e-ambulances are currently
under discussion with MoHFW and will be announced soon.
185The scheme aims to promote the adoption of electric trucks to reduce CO2 emissions and establish e-trucks as a key logistics
solution in the future. A fund of ₹ 500 crores have been set aside to incentivize the use of e-trucks. Only those holding a
scrapping certificate from MoRTH-approved vehicle scrapping centres (RVSF) are eligible for the incentives. Monitoring
systems will verify scrapping certificates. The relevant details for e-trucks, including the number of vehicles to be supported,
maximum subsidy, performance criteria, etc. will be notified separately based on consultation with relevant stakeholders.
A total of Rs. 4,391 crore is allocated for the procurement of 14,028 electric buses by State Transport Undertakings
(STUs)/public transport agencies. The demand aggregation for these buses will be managed by CESL in nine major cities, with
more than 40 lakh population namely Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Surat, Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad.
For procurement and operation of e-buses in unique geographies – hilly and north-eastern states, island territories, coastal
regions, etc. different set of guidelines including non-OPEX model as suitable to support e-bus penetration may be adopted by
MHI.

Also, 14,028 number of e-buses to be supported under this scheme. The scheme aims to establish a robust network of public
charging stations, including 22,100 fast chargers for e-4Ws, 1,800 for e-buses, and 48,400 for e2Ws and e3Ws, boosting user
confidence. These charging points are to be installed in key cities with high electric vehicle penetration and along select
highways. The total outlay for charging infrastructure under the scheme is Rs. 2,000 crores.
Phased Manufacturing Program
Under FAME II policy, PMP has been introduced with the aim of boosting domestic manufacturing of EVs, its assemblies/
sub-assemblies and parts/sub-parts thereby increasing the domestic value addition. It was launched to localize production across
the entire EV value chain. PMP valid for 5 years till 2024 was to support setting up of a few large-scale, export-competitive
integrated batteries and cell-manufacturing Giga plants in India. A phased roadmap to implement battery manufacturing at
Giga-scale was considered with initial focus on large-scale module and pack assembly plants by 2019-20, followed by
integrated cell manufacturing by 2021-22. This was to help improve air quality in cities along with reducing India’s oil import
dependence and enhance the uptake of renewable energy and storage solutions. The PMP offers a scaled duty structure for
imported EV parts. To provide further impetus to electric mobility and promote indigenous development of electric vehicles,
the central government has reduced and rationalized basic custom duty on electric vehicles.
Production Linked Incentive (“PLI”)
The PLI scheme for Automotive and Auto components was launched with budgetary outlay of ₹ 25,938 crore for a period of 5
years (Fiscal 2022-23 to Fiscal 2026-27). The objective is to promote the domestic manufacturing of advanced automotive
technology products, including electric vehicles and their components. Under this scheme, 18 OEM have applied, playing a
crucial role in accelerating the electric mobility revolution.
The PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) battery storage was launched with budgetary outlay of ₹ 18,100 crore.
The objective was to establish a domestic manufacturing ecosystem for battery cells. The focus was to encourage giga factories
to manufacture Li-ion and other advanced batteries used in EVs. The firms selected were supposed to set up at least 5 GWh of
battery manufacturing. The plan is to set up 50-gigawatt hour (GWh) manufacturing capacity for ACC batteries by attracting
investments totaling ₹ 45,000 crores. The incentives will be disbursed over a period of five years. It was paid out based on
sales, energy efficiency, battery life cycle, and localization levels. This lowered the battery pack costs by encouraging local
production and boosted long-term cost competitiveness of EV 2Ws. For e-3Ws, this has encouraged commercial fleet adoption,
logistics applications and helps rural mobility with high indigenization. For e-Passenger vehicles, it boosted localized supply
186chains for cars like Tata Nexon EV, Mahindra XUV400 and Hyundai Kona and also focused on indigenous e-motors, vehicle
control units and inverters.
The PLI scheme for electronics and IT hardware was launched with budgetary outlay of ₹ 38,601 crore to boost manufacturing
of electronic components used in EV control units, battery management systems and charging equipment. This was to support
indigenization of electronic sub-assemblies essential in EVs.

The spectacular rise of high-speed E-2Ws at 102% CAGR provided real thrust to the overall E-2W segment growth. Entry of
new players, expansion in product offerings, competitively priced feature rich vehicle launches backed the sharp growth of
high-speed E-2Ws. In turn, their share more than doubled from approximately 25% in Fiscal 2020 to more than 55% by Fiscal
2025.
Although low speed E-2Ws lost sizeable ground from a high base of Fiscal 2020, the segment witnessed a healthy growth at
~36% CAGR during Fiscal 2020-2025 period.
Competitive Landscape
The e2W segment has been highly concentrated with a few players primarily catering to the entire segment. During fiscal 2019,
a few OEMs like Hero Electric and Okinawa completely dominated the market with more than 80% of the market share. Over
the years, with the entry of new players, EV launches from legacy ICE OEMs as well as expansion in EV portfolio of players,
competition intensified within the EV space.
High speed vehicles offered initially by Hero Electric and Okinawa offered relatively lower speed and acceleration compared
to the ICE counterparts. Ather Energy entered the market in fiscal 2019 with its 450 model which offered comparable power
188and acceleration as an ICE vehicle along with internet connectivity and “smart” features. This helped Ather achieve ~11%
market share in fiscal 2020 and they have managed to maintain that share through multiple updates to the Ather 450 line. Ather
Energy had a 11.4% market share in fiscal 2025.
Ola entered the EV market in fiscal 2022 and expanded its presence at a very fast pace and became the leading contributor to
EV retails in India. Expansion in product portfolio and distribution network thrusted the contribution of Ola in e2W market. As
of fiscal 2024, Ola had the market leadership in e2W sales with a share of 35.1%. In fiscal 2025 Ola share decreased to 29.9%.
The legacy OEMs have also entered the EV space. TVS Motor introduced the iQube model in fiscal 2020 and has gradually
increased its supply over the years. Its model iQube received healthy traction helping them clock second highest retails during
fiscal 2024. It has maintained second highest market share (20.7%) in fiscal 2025 as well.
Bajaj’s Chetak EV was introduced in Q4 of fiscal 2019. The company gradually expanded its presence across the country in
the next few years. With increased company focus, coverage expansion and higher production, the company’s share increased
to 11.4% in fiscal 2024 and the share further expanded to 20.1% in fiscal 2025.
Ampere entered the market in fiscal 2020 and gradually expanded its presence in the e2W space. In fiscal 2023, company’s
contribution reached 12% levels. However, amidst the increased competition, the company lost some ground during full year
fiscal 2024 to 5.7% and the share further reduced to 3.6% in fiscal 2025.
HMCL entered the EV segment with VIDA in fiscal 2023. In the two years, the company’s contribution increased to ~2% by
fiscal 2024. Its share rose to ~4% in fiscal 2025 amidst increased traction for its VIDA models.
In late November 2024, HMSI entered the electric scooter market with the launch of the e-Activa model featuring swappable
batteries, and the QC1 model equipped with a fixed battery system. Deliveries for the same started in February 2025 in some
selected cities in India. This move is expected to further boost the electric vehicle market.
Erstwhile leading contributors in the e2W industry, Hero Electric and Okinawa faced stiff competition from newer entrants and
increased focus from other legacy two-wheeler manufacturers. From a high base, their shares contracted in the next 3 years.
Outlook of e-2W segment
High Speed E-2W Outlook

Review and outlook on the Indian Heavy Commercial Vehicles industry (>7.5T)
Review of Heavy Commercial Vehicles industry
The domestic heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) industry experienced notable volatility in sales volumes over the past few
fiscal years, shaped by economic downturns, pandemic-induced disruptions, and a gradual recovery backed by infrastructure
spending and replacement demand.
In fiscal 2020, the HCV market contracted sharply to 224 thousand units due to a downturn in economic activity and weakened
fleet demand. The situation worsened in fiscal 2021, with volumes falling further to 161 thousand units as industrial activity
slowed and fleet operators deferred capital expenditure amidst pandemic uncertainties.
However, the segment regained traction in fiscal 2022, recording a notable recovery to 241 thousand units, driven by improved
freight availability and a gradual uptick in infrastructure projects. This positive momentum accelerated in fiscal 2023 as sales
rose significantly to 359 thousand units, supported by strong replacement demand, rising freight rates, and enhanced fleet
utilization. Fiscal 2024 further built on this revival, with sales reaching 374 thousand units. This growth was underpinned by
robust infrastructure spending, better transporter margins, and fleet modernization initiatives. Interestingly, the trend has
plateaued in fiscal 2025, with volumes remaining flat at 374 thousand units. This stability may indicate a maturing demand
cycle, influenced by cautious expansion strategies and a possible saturation in fleet replacement activity.
The HCV industry comprises two primary segments: Intermediate, Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles (IMHCV) and
Buses. The IMHCV segment, which includes core freight carriers and heavy-duty applications, has historically dominated
industry volumes, accounting for over 90% of total sales during the fiscals FY20–FY22. Even during the pandemic-induced
slump, IMHCV volumes remained resilient due to their critical role in supporting freight movement and infrastructure
development.
While the Bus segment, catering to public and institutional transportation, saw a steep decline during the pandemic, with
volumes plunging from 40 thousand units in FY20 to a mere 7 thousand in FY21. This drop was largely attributed to school
closures, reduced inter-city travel, and lower demand in the public mobility space. However, a gradual rebound began in FY22,
and gained momentum in FY23–FY25, with sales improving to 66 thousand units in FY25, supported by public transport
services, growing demand for low emission buses (CNG and electric) demand in metro and tier-2 cities, and fleet modernization
initiatives.
Together, these segments reflect the broader recovery and shifting dynamics within the HCV market. While IMHCVs continue
to anchor industry with consistent demand from logistics and construction sectors, the improving performance of the bus

forestry, and snow management. These tools are typically powered by gasoline engines, electric motors, or battery systems and
are widely used in both residential and commercial applications.
Source: Nexdigm data
The global OPE market grew from 60.5 million units in 2019 to 79.5 million units in 2021, registering CAGR of 14.6%. This
period saw significant market expansion driven by rising consumer interest in home improvement and landscaping, especially
during the COVID-19 pandemic. With lockdowns and work-from-home policies in place, people spent more time at home,
which led to a surge in DIY gardening, lawn care, and outdoor maintenance activities. This behavioral shift fueled residential
demand for equipment such as lawn mowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers.
As global per capita income rises particularly in key markets like the US, Europe, India, and China, there is a noticeable surge
in interest toward home improvements, landscaping, and the development of green spaces. This trend is directly boosting the
demand for outdoor power equipment (OPE) across both residential and commercial sectors. Further, these equipment are used
for snow removal in the northern parts of America and Europe to clear snow from sidewalks and driveways. In America, the
individuals prefer to maintain their outdoor spaces themselves, driving demand for user-friendly OPE.
Between 2022 and 2024 the global OPE market experienced a slowdown after the strong pandemic-driven growth seen in
earlier years. One of the main reasons was market saturation, as many consumers who purchased OPE tools during COVID-19
did not need replacements in the short term, leading to weaker follow-up demand, particularly in the residential segment.
Commercial buyers also held off on large-scale procurement amid uncertainty in construction and real estate sectors owing to
macroeconomic headwinds such as rising interest rates, inflation, and global supply chain disruptions. Furthermore, while the
push for electric and battery-powered equipment continued, the higher upfront costs and limited battery infrastructure in some
regions slowed widespread adoption. These combined factors contributed to a temporary contraction in OPE sales volumes
during this period.
Global OPE sales regional split (2024)
In 2024, the U.S held the largest share of the global OPE market at 52.1%, representing more than half of the total market.
Also, the U.S accounts for ~90% of the overall North America OPE market. According to US Census Bureau 2023, the house
ownerships rates are at around 65%. Thus the higher house ownership rates, widespread large residential lawns, and a mature
landscaping industry is driving the market in the US.
Europe accounts for 29.3% of the market in 2024, supported by growing urban gardening trends, and government incentives
for zero-emission tools. Germany, France, and the UK lead in battery-powered and robotic mower adoption. Others, including
China, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, Latin America, and the Middle East, make up 18.6% of the market in 2024.

Review and outlook of the SEDEMAC specific components
213Introduction
SEDEMAC is one of the Indian-origin suppliers who have initiated, introduced, and scaled breakthrough innovations for the
industry. SEDEMAC is a technology company specialized in developing control products for engines and powertrains for on-
road and off-road applications. Some of the large markets catered by the company at present are Automobiles (Both ICE and
EV), Gensets, Power Tools, E-Bikes and Outdoor Power Equipment. SEDEMAC is supplier of control-intensive, critical-to-
the-application electronic control units (ECUs) to leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the mobility and
industrial markets in India, as well, as the United States and Europe. Within critical-to-the-application components, SEDEMAC
focuses on control-intensive components that are application specific and manage complex systems in real time. Starting off as
a lab-based enterprise out of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in 2007, the company has evolved as renowned
player in the control technology space. Their product portfolio includes sensor less integrated starter generators, ECUs for fuel
injection, motor controller and generator controllers that are mission critical components used to help generate and regulate
power.
There are two principal Tier-I supplier categories. The first group comprises companies that acquire proven technologies from
global manufacturers with the ability to adapt these designs to serve their customers or who partner with technology companies
primarily for technologies and product designs, without significant, in-house R&D capability through a JV. While these
suppliers can offer improvements by leveraging externally sourced technology, their capacity for step-change innovation is
fundamentally constrained by reliance on third-party and limited in-house engineering resources. The second major group
includes suppliers who have had the history of proposing and commercializing new technologies, maintaining full design
ownership and often driving technology adoption among OEMs. These organizations possess deep technical capability,
capacity to introduce new technology platforms and carry out end-to-end design and development of their products. However,
the scale and legacy systems can sometimes inhibit rapid adaptation to customer-specific requirements for suppliers who are
dependent on their global parent group. Most of the major technology transformations in these sectors such as the adoption of
various critical systems in vehicles or major electrification shifts have largely depended on Tier-I suppliers. SEDEMAC is an
Indian tier I supplier with in-house R&D capability and the suppliers selected to provide Tier 1 systems (i.e., direct to OEM
production lines) are central to an industry’s technical evolution. Also, supplier agility is typically seen as a significant positive
by OEMs.
In the automotive/mobility market, OEMs choose the technologies and core components that define their product architecture.
Major changes to core/key technologies do not occur frequently due to the significant effort and time involved in the integration,
validation involved at the OEM end. Such transitions are usually triggered by regulatory requirements (for example, emissions,
safety or efficiency standards) or could be non-regulatory in nature, driven by OEM or end-user preferences. These changes in
the core technologies of the equipment require significant validation and especially in case of non-regulatory changes, there is
a significant risk of acceptability from OEMs. As a result, only suppliers with strong R&D capability will be able to initiate or
persuade innovation and new technology development. Critical, control technologies and products undergo extensive validation
before their commercial introduction. OEMs introducing such solutions invest significant resources in their implementation,
integration, and validation, thereby creating a barrier to switching to alternative technologies. Typically, automotive OEMs are
highly selective in qualifying suppliers with respect to critical products given the risks of switching suppliers, especially where
product reliability is critical. Also, supplier relationships with customers are built on providing innovation through cutting-edge
technologies which helps the customers to remain competitive in the market. SEDEMAC is among the few suppliers to have
introduced multiple, innovative control intensive technologies to large OEM programs.
With the increasing complexity of powertrains, rising regulatory scrutiny along with the growing consumer demand for
efficiency, safety, and connectivity have significantly accelerated the adoption of advanced electronic control solutions within
the modern age mobility systems. These electronic control solutions are an integral part for managing everything from engine
performance and emissions control to energy storage, electric drivetrains, and remote diagnostics. These solutions are enabled
through continuous innovations and development of new technologies. Technology in a simple sense is a way to do something.
Technology will be agnostic to products and applications. Technology enables never-seen-before applications or invents a
significantly superior way of doing an established job. Once technology is proven, it can transcend geographical boundaries
and does not need a linear investment of resources. Proven technologies integrated into a system can become a key differentiator,
enabling companies to establish and maintain a competitive edge. This, in turn, can lead to improved market positioning and a
strong business foundation, driving long-term success. In the technology space, the first-mover advantage often proves critical
as continual improvements, developments create barriers for competitors and other following technologies.
Control technologies are highly application-specific and are engineered to meet the unique demands of different end-use
categories. A controls solution typically revolves around an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which is essentially an intelligent
electronic device acting as a brain of the system in which it is integrated into. We are all surrounded by ECUs in our daily lives
right from the washing machines, air-conditioners, refrigerators to the vehicles we use. Some of these ECUs are critical to the
application i.e. if they fail then the device itself fails to operate. For example, a failure in the ECU which controls an engine of
a vehicle will lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill and will need action from someone to get it started again. For markets
which are quality centric like the mobility industry, low PPM figures are a key indicator of reliability and scalability. Below
are two examples of control technologies:
214Engine Control technologies:
Engine control technologies include the ways of controlling engines to meet the performance requirements (Power, Emissions,
Fuel Efficiency etc.). These are typically met by the Engine control Unit (ECU) via control of Air-Fuel ratio, Fuel injection
quantity, Ignition timing etc. based on the information available through the sensors in the system (e.g. Throttle position sensor
(TPS), Manifold air pressure sensor (MAP), Temperature sensors etc.).
With the changes in regulatory norms, on-board diagnostics, learning mechanisms to adapt to flex fuels etc. are being
increasingly added as features in the ECUs.
Motor Control technologies:
Motor control technologies include the ways of controlling motors / electric machines to meet the performance requirements
(Torque / Speed). These are typically met by the Motor control Unit (MCU) via control of the phase voltages / currents through
the motor.
Overview of the SEDEMAC specific components
SEDEMAC specializes in developing novel control technologies across various segments in both the automotive and non-
automotive sectors. The company develops critical-to-application control products (mission critical control products) that are
essential to control and optimize numerous function/factors of a vehicle operation, requiring high levels of reliability and
performance. Critical-to-the-application components are those without which a piece of equipment cannot fulfil its primary
function for the end user. For example, an engine ECU (electronic control unit) is indispensable for the mobility of an engine-
powered vehicle; if it fails, the vehicle will not move. In contrast, components like dashboards, though important, are not
fundamental to the main function. SEDEMAC supplies critical-to-the-application electronic components and systems to
leading original equipment manufacturers, including those in established and stable markets where the supplier ecosystem and
underlying technologies tend to change infrequently.
In the automotive sector, their product portfolio includes integrated starter generator controllers (ISG) and electronic fuel
injection (EFI) ECUs for ICE powered two-wheelers and three-wheelers. Additionally, they offer motor and motor controllers
for e2W, e3W, eLCV and e-bikes. Beyond the automotive sector, the company caters to the power tools and generators (genset)
industry, providing genset controllers and EFI ECUs for gensets, as well as motor controllers for battery-operated/cordless
power tools.

Control products for ICE powered 2W & 3W
The 2W and 3W ICE segments have witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing demand for affordable
and efficient transportation solutions. As industry continues to evolve, the integration of electronic and electrical products has
become a key focus area for manufacturers. The 2W and 3W ICE segments have traditionally been dominated by mechanical
systems. However, with the increasing need for improved performance, safety, and efficiency, manufacturers are now
incorporating advanced electronic and electrical products into their vehicles. Some of the key drivers of this trend include
emission regulations, safety requirements, performance needs, connected mobility and electrification. Some of the key
electronic and electrical products that are gaining traction in the two-wheeler and three-wheeler ICE segments include
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), Combi brake system (CBS), telematics and others. The
integration of electronic and electrical products in two-wheelers and three-wheelers is a growing trend that offers several
benefits, including improved performance, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety.
Integrated starter-generator (ISG) Controller/ECU
A conventional 2/3W engine powered vehicle has two electrical machines – one machine (starter motor) to crank/start the
engine and another (alternator) to charge the battery when the engine is running. The alternator, commonly referred to as
‘Magneto’ in the 2W/3W industry, is crankshaft mounted and thus directly coupled to the engine.
215The Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) technology eliminates the conventional starter motor and components of its assembly
by using the electric machine, otherwise used as an alternator alone in starter motor system-based vehicles, also as a motor to
crank/start the engine. The working of the electric machine as a motor at start and as a generator subsequently is enabled by an
ISG controller/ECU. During engine starts, the ISG ECU helps convert electrical energy to mechanical energy as it actuates the
electrical machine which in turn rotates the engine while the engine runs. ISG ECU helps use the electrical energy converted
by the Magneto from the engine’s mechanical energy to charge the battery and is critical to the application as the vehicle may
not be able to start (crank) or charge the battery once started and lead to degraded performance if the ISG ECU fails to function
properly.
Energy Conversion in an ISG system

The associated benefits include users experiencing silent, quick and reliable starts. Benefits to OEMs include improved system
robustness through component elimination. ISG systems can also enable features like idle start-stop improving fuel efficiency
and torque assist which can improve the rider experience. These benefits have propelled the ISG adoption from 0% in fiscal
2018 to around 36% in fiscal 2025 in the Indian domestic 2/3W vehicles.
Sensor vs sensor-less ISG
The magnetos used in the vehicular systems are with a permanent magnet-based rotor and a stator. These types of brushless
machines require commutation – i.e. determining which stator coils to excite based on the information of the position of the
stator with respect to the rotor. This is generally done with the help of physical sensor (hall effect based sensors mounted on
the stator). Temperature, dust, sometimes oil (if the crankcase is wet) will be present in the environment where these hall effect
sensors are assembled which can cause failures of these sensors and in turn lead to loss of control of the magneto and then the
vehicle itself. Most of the motorcycles today are built in with oil-dipped magneto.
Whereas Sensor-Less Commutation (SLC) technology, can control motors without the hall effect sensors in low speed, high
torque applications including ICE vehicles as well as electric. wet (oil dipped) magneto is a common configuration in
motorcycles and is one of the most prominent failure modes in electric machines with hall effect sensors. Thus, the use of
sensor-less technology/commutation eliminates the chances of failure, thereby improving reliability which is otherwise possible
in sensor-based technology. SEDEMAC the first company in India to develop, design and manufacture sensor less commutation
(SLC) based ISG ECUs for 2W and 3W internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles.

In fiscal 2025, close to ~7 million vehicles sold in India had ISGs, which is more than 35% of the total ICE 2W and 3W sales.
Key suppliers of ISG are SEDEMAC, Shindengen, and Denso. SEDEMAC supplies sensor less ISG solution whereas most of
the others have sensors in them. SEDEMAC holds ~30% market share on domestic ISG ECU market for 2W and 3W combined
(in terms of volume) and are among the top 4 players in fiscal 2025. The penetration of ISG has grown in the domestic market
with models like TVS Jupiter, TVS Ntorq, Honda Activa, Honda Shine and Suzuki Burgman migrating to ISG. The demand
for ISG is driven by growing technological advancements and need for advanced control solutions in vehicles. Technological
advancements are giving rise to products that are more efficient, compact and offer improved performance. ISGs are more
efficient, and compact compared to traditional starter motor set-up, making them an attractive option for two-wheeler and three-
wheeler manufacturers. Further, fewer moving parts compared to traditional starter motors and generators, resulting in lower
maintenance costs and increased reliability. Also growing demand for more powerful vehicles, particularly in the premium
segment, is driving the need for more efficient and compact power generation solutions like ISGs. ISGs offer improved
performance, including faster starting, smoother operation, and reduced vibration, which is driving their adoption in the two-
wheeler and three-wheeler segments.
The market for ISG was valued at ₹ 11,801.9 million in fiscal 2025 and is expected to reach ₹ 22,000-23,000 million by fiscal
2030 growing at a CAGR or 13-15%. The volumes for ISG are expected to reach 11,000-12,000 thousand units by fiscal 2030,
from over 6,900 thousand units in fiscal 2025. The penetration of ISG is expected to surpass 50% by fiscal 2030 in the ICE
segment driven by growing adoption of ISG in the new and existing models. Attractive features like idle start-stop, and
217improved performance make it an ideal choice for premium vehicles. Technology is also expected to make in-roads into the
mass market segments also, where this could be offered as a choice of variant. Further, on-going innovations in the control unit
front, where bundled solutions are offered as a single unit for multiple controls can further drive the adoption of ISG as
integrated units in the 2W and 3W segment.
ECU for Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Vehicular mass emission norms have gone through significant revisions over the last few years. The relevant regulatory
landscape shifts like the introduction of Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) emission norms in India from April 2020 and fuel efficiency
improvement mandates have led to wide, 100% adoption of the EFI technology within the Indian 2W/3W industry.
Similarly, the adoption of stricter emission norms in the genset industry, is driving the adoption of EFI in the genset industry.
EFI can improve reliability of starts irrespective of the ambient temperature and pressure without having to rely on seasonal
setting modifications and can also provide better fuel efficiency.
An EFI Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is a controller that in real time monitors
the system, governs fuel delivery and engine operations based on data from various sensors. It controls the quantity and timing
of the fuel injection into the engine cylinders and ignition of the mixture within the engine cylinder through an electronic spark.
The ECU can also provide adherence to on-board diagnostics (OBD) regulations which aid the service centers to debug and
resolve problems in the vehicular system. It is thus critical to the application as the engine will not function leading to vehicle
being immobile if the EFI ECU fails to function properly. Key suppliers of EFI ECU in the 2W/3W space are SEDEMAC,
Astemo, Bosch, Vitesco, Varroc-Dellorto, Marelli, Mikuni among others.
The development of complex technologies, such as ECUs, has led suppliers to employ diverse strategies. Some companies opt
to develop these products entirely in-house, overseeing every stage from research and design to assembly. In contrast, others
form partnerships with domestic or international suppliers, either through joint ventures or technology licensing agreements,
to access the necessary expertise and support for production.

ISG+EFI Integrated ECU:
The integration of electronics offers a cost advantage for OEMs, making it a preferred approach. By consolidating components,
OEMs can reduce the number of parts to be maintained during series production, while also optimizing the available space
within the vehicle. Examples of such integration include the combination of Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) with Motor Control
Units (MCUs) and the development of Integrated e-Axles, which streamline vehicle design and production.
One such integrated solution that could drive the ISG adoption is the ISG+EFI ECU combination. Since an EFI ECU is used
in almost all 2W/3Ws sold in India, integrating the EFI with ISG provides both the functionalities at a reduced cost to the OEM.
SEDEMAC sensorless ISG, ISG+EFI ECUs, are installed on more than 7.5 million small engine two-wheeler/ three-wheeler
(2W/3W) used in India and company is amongst the key suppliers to OEMs.
Very few companies in the world have an integrated ISG+EFI for the 2W/3W market. Key suppliers of offering integrated ISG
and EFI controllers are SEDEMAC, Shindengen and Astemo.

Review and outlook of global control products for ICE vehicles (EFI and ISG)
The ASEAN market is a critical hub from two-wheelers, with countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand Malaysia and
Philippines having enormous two-wheeler and three-wheeler populations. Historically, these markets were dominated by
carbureted engines due to cost effectiveness and simpler technology. However, the increasing urbanization, rising pollution
concerns and the adoption of stricter emission standards, the region is embracing more advanced technologies including EFI
and ISG.
Globally, countries have been progressively tightening their emission standards and as a result EFI has become a requirement
for new vehicles to meet these stricter limits. Markets including Japan, Europe, US and India have stringent emission norms,
making EFI indispensable for compliance. For example, Europe follows the Euro 5 for L category vehicles mandatory from
2021. While the regulations do not mandate EFI, the precision in fuel delivery, the need for closed-loop control, the ability to
meet PM limits and the requirements for sophisticated OBD systems mean that EFI is necessity to comply with Euro 5. Leading
manufacturers including Ducati and Vespa have transitioned to using EFI. China has also rapidly advanced its national emission
standards for two-wheelers and three wheelers. China VI implemented from 2018, aligns with Euro 5 levels of pollutants. China
VI standards include strict limits of CO, HC, NOx, and PM along with OBD systems. These requirements make it extremely
difficult to use carburetors and hence EFI is becoming the prevailing technology. Similarly, many ASEAN countries are
adopting or moving towards Euro 4 and Euro 5 equivalent standards. As these countries aim to tackle air pollution, they are
progressively tightening their emission regulations. The move to Euro 4 or Euro 5 equivalent standards inherently means that
EFI is the only viable technology to meet the required emission reductions. For example, emission norms in Malaysia are
aligned wit Euro 4 levels and EFI is available in the top models of the country. Similarly, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and
Philippines are following similar trends, with new models increasingly featuring EFI to comply with national regulations.
As manufacturers introduce advanced models and features to attract customers, ISG is seen as a premium and desirable
technology. The silent and smooth start offered by ISG enhances the overall riding experience. Honda has been a major driving
force behind the adoption of ISG (which they market as ACG starter) in the ASEAN market. They were among the
manufacturers to widely introduce idle start-stop systems in their scooters in the key ASEAN market like Thailand, Indonesia
and Vietnam. Honda’s strategy to democratize this technology by introducing it to high volume commuter models, not just
premium models has made the ISG equipped scooters accessible to broader consumer base. Similarly, Honda’s eSP engine
architecture integrates the ISG and EFI technologies, has become a cornerstone of their modern two-wheeler line-up. Honda
introduced ISG in popular models like Beat, Vision, SH series, and Scoopy in ASEAN. Yamaha has also been a significant
player in bringing ISG technology to the ASEAN market through their SMG system. Similar to Honda’s eSP, Yamaha’s Blue
Core engine philosophy often incorporates ISG to achieve goals of fuel efficiency. Yamaha has introduced ISG in popular
models such as the Aerox and NMAX in ASEAN. Honda and Yamaha together dominate the ASEAN market (Thailand,
Vietnam and Indonesia) contributing to over 75% of the total sales and many of their top selling models have ISG.

Voltage Regulator Rectifier (VRR)
As mentioned earlier, a conventional 2/3W ICE vehicle has two electrical machines – one starter motor to crank/start the engine
and second, alternator to charge the battery when the engine is running. This generator is also commonly referred to as ‘Magneto’
in the 2W/3W industry is crankshaft mounted and thus directly coupled to the engine.
The electrical energy generated by the magneto when the engine is running is alternating, unregulated and varying with the
engine speed making it unsuitable for charging the battery as is. Thus, in such vehicles, there is a need of a device which can
rectify (convert AC to DC) and regulate (stabilize) this voltage from the magneto to be able to charge the battery. These sorts
of devices are called at Voltage Regulator and Rectifiers (VRRs). Depending on the type of the magneto, VRRs can be 1-ph or
3-ph compatible. In the domestic market, key suppliers include SEDEMAC, Flash, Napino, Shindengen and INEL.

from the engine before releasing them to the atmosphere. With the BS-VI regulatory norms, this aftertreatment system has
become active and mandatory in all diesel engine-based vehicles sold in India.
In this system, essentially an ACM monitors the system through the sensors and electrical signals available and actively
regenerates the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst by dosing-controlled quantities of AdBlue fluid in the SCR. This
controller also monitors the diesel particulate filter and when it clogs, the ECU commands injection of some diesel fuel directly
in the DPF line and burns the clogging out. This is critical to the system controller which if failed, will lead to additional
emissions and harmful gases being released to the environment.

Control products for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Motor Control Unit (MCU)
A Motor Control Unit (MCU) is a type of electronic control unit (ECU) that controls the operation of an electric powertrain
(motor) in an electric vehicle. For small EVs, its electronic architecture is very similar to that of the Integrated Starter-Generator
(ISG) controller, both of which act as inverters.
In an EV, the MCU plays a vital role by interfacing with various sensors and controllers to regulate the electric motor's operation.
It continuously monitors crucial system parameters such as temperature, current, and voltage to ensure optimal motor
performance and prevent potential issues. As a critical component of every electric vehicle, the MCU manages the flow of
electrical energy to the motor, precisely controlling its speed, torque, and direction to deliver efficient and reliable operation.
Motor controllers vary in voltage, power, and current capabilities, and can be broadly categorized as follows:
Vehicle class Rated Voltage Rated current Peak current Peak power (kW)
(V) (A rms) (A rms)
2W 48/72 30~110 100~320 1.5~5
3W 48/72 110~200 320~400 7~10
LCVs 48/72/96/144 150~250 350~500 10~30
PV 336 75~200 150~400 30~100
Buses / Trucks 540 200~400 300~700 150~300
Motor Control Units (MCU) are also used to control auxiliary electric motors such as those for power steering, HVAC blowers,
fuel pumps etc. MCUs are used in motor powered vehicles such as electric bicycles (eBike), electric two-wheeler (e2W),
electric three-wheeler (e3W) and electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV) and e-buses applications at present. Currently, all
221MCUs used for traction application in EVs use information from some sort of physical sensor to perform commutation.
However, similar to ISG, these can also migrate to sensor-less technologies in the near future. Key suppliers of MCU in the
smaller EV space (e2W/3W. e-bike etc) are SEDEMAC, Sterling-GTake, Bosch, Vitesco, Varroc and others.

Integrated MCU+VCU for e-bikes
As observed in the case of EFI + ISG ECU, integrated units offered various benefits to OEMs including cost and reducing the
overall number of components. An MCU-integrated Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) for e-bikes combines the functionality of a
Motor Control Unit (MCU) and a VCU into a single integrated unit, streamlining control and communication within the e-
bike's electrical system. The key suppliers include SEDEMAC ASI and GTake.

The market for motor controllers was valued at ₹ 6,920.3 million in fiscal 2025 and is expected to reach ₹ 44,000-45,000
million by fiscal 2030 growing at a CAGR of 44-46%. The volumes for motor controllers are expected to reach 8,000-9,000
units, growing at a CAGR of 43-45%. These components play a critical role in powering and controlling the vehicle's electric
propulsion system. With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in India, the importance of these components has
increased, and government have proposed various initiatives including PLI and PMP schemes to boost domestic manufacturing
capability. The growth of these components would be directly proportional to the growth of EV market as these are critical
components for the EV powertrain. Any fluctuation in the EV uptake or the associated regulations would directly impact on
the market for these components.
Motors
Electric Vehicles use motors for propulsion by converting electrical energy from batteries into mechanical energy. The major
types of motors used in e-bikes, e-scooters, low-speed e2Ws and e3Ws include Brushless DC Motor (BLDC), Permanent
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and are either hub mounted, or mid drive mounted with a mechanism to transfer torque
to the wheels. The motor selection depends on the vehicle type, required torque, thermal management, efficiency goals, cost
constraints and other factors.
Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor
The BLDC motor consists of a rotor with permanent magnets, a stator with windings, and a motor controller that regulates the
current flowing through the windings. The motor controller uses sensors to detect the position of the rotor and adjust the current
accordingly, causing the magnetic field in the stator to interact with the magnetic field from the rotor and generate torque for
propulsion of the vehicle. It works by using electronic commutation to control the current flowing through the winding,
eliminating the need for brushes used in traditional DC motors. BLDC motor offers high efficiency and reliability. Additionally,
the BLDC motor has a high-power density. Like the PMSM motor, they too require rare earth magnets.
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)
PMSM works by utilizing the interaction between the permanent magnets mounted on the rotor and the electromagnets on the
stator to generate torque that propels the vehicle. It has a rotor with permanent magnets, windings on the stator and motor
controller that regulates the current flowing through the windings. The motor controller sends current to the stator windings,
which creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of the rotor. This interaction creates torque that rotates the
rotor, propelling the vehicle.
PMSM is the most widely used motor in electric vehicles due to its high efficiency as the use of permanent magnets eliminates
the need for copper windings in the rotor, thereby reducing losses and increasing the efficiency of the motor. Also, the absence
of torque ripples results in less noise during the operation. High-performance motor control provides smooth rotation over the
entire speed range of the motor, fast acceleration & deceleration, and full torque control at zero speed. Additionally, the PMSM
has a high-power density. However, it requires a motor controller, which can increase the cost and complexity of the system.
Also, they rely on permanent magnets which are usually rare earth magnets like neodymium, dysprosium, and samarium that
are expensive and imported by India. These magnets are subject to demagnetization over time, thereby reducing the efficiency
of the motor.
223Key suppliers of motors are Bosch, Nidec, Sona Comstar, Lucas TVS, Bafang, Yamaha and others.

Rare earth magnet-free motors
Rare earth magnets have been a crucial component in the development of high-performance electric motors, particularly in
applications such as electric vehicles. However, the increasing demand for rare earth elements (REEs) and higher import
dependency has raised concerns over supply chain security, and material costs. In response, manufacturers have been exploring
alternative motor designs that eliminate the need for rare earth magnets. This strategic shift is aimed at reducing reliance on
imported REE, lowering costs and mitigating supply chain risks. Key developments in this aspect include development of rare
earth magnet free motors which uses ferrite based permanent magnets and motor technologies that eliminate the need of
magnets. While challenges remain, ongoing research and development are expected to drive innovation and commercialization
of these alternative motor technologies. Rare earth magnet-free motors offer a promising solution to reduce dependence on
critical materials, improve sustainability, and increase design flexibility.

228Motor Control Units (MCUs) for Powertools
Power tools refer to the tools that utilize external power sources to perform tasks, rather than relying solely on manual labour.
Some examples include electric drill, screwdriver, chain saw among others. Handheld powertools are seeing a significant shift
towards cordless/battery-operated configuration from traditional electric or corded systems.
Battery operated powertools predominantly use Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motors. These motors require commutation
i.e. sequencing of the currents through the stator windings to be able to rotate. This commutation is achieved through the
position feedback from hall effect sensors. However, these sensors, as in the case of ICE 2W magnetos, can fail due to the dust,
vibration and water from the environment. However, a Sensor-Less Commutation (SLC) technology, which can control motors
without the hall effect sensors. Hence, the use of sensor-less technology eliminates the chances of failure which is otherwise
possible in sensor-based technology due to the environmental impact on hall effect sensors. This improves the overall
robustness of the system, potentially reducing the size of the motor used besides improving the cost aspect. MCUs are largely
inverters and most of the controllers (ISGs, e2/e3W MCU or powertools MCU) share a common design architecture.
MCUs for powertools, domestic, fiscal 2025-30P
The domestic market for MCU in powertools was valued at ₹ 3,272.5 million in Fiscal 2025 and is estimated to reach ₹10,500-
11,500 million by Fiscal 2030. The market is majorly driven by the shift to cordless/battery operated powertools owing to its
convenience. The penetration of cordless tools is lower in Inda compared to global developed markets like US and Europe. The
current penetration was 21% in fiscal 2025 and is estimated to reach 36% in fiscal 2030. The growth in the cordless powertools
market owing to the DIY market growth and rising commercial activities associated to construction and infrastructure is
expected to drive the market for powertools, thereby driving the market for MCUs in powertools in India.

Control Units for Generators
Genset Controllers (GCs)
Supervisory controllers for generators are devices that monitor, control, and protect generators, ensuring their optimal
performance and longevity. Supervisory controllers with Auto Mains Failure are widely used in diesel generators and other
backup power systems. These controllers automatically detect power failures in real time and start the generator and manage
load transfers to ensure uninterrupted power supply while continually monitoring of the system and raising alarms in case of
anomalies. These Genset controllers (GCs) also have a user interface through keypads and an LCD for configuring settings and
also viewing the warnings / faults.
With the implementation of CPCB IV+ emission standards in July 2023, genset manufacturers started investing in advanced
engines and emission control technologies to meet these standards. This includes electronic fuel systems, advanced after-
treatment systems (ATS), and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Most of the gensets produced in India were with
mechanical diesel engines as prime movers for decades and although electronic governing (eGov) offered reliable and uniform
performance, the solution was expensive and complex to be adopted in the mass market. With transition to stricter emission
norms, manufacturers started moving towards electronic governors that use sensors and ECUs for fuel injection, leading to
better performance in terms of speed regulation, load response, and fuel efficiency. Key suppliers are SEDEMAC, DeepSea,
SmartGen, ComAp, Datakom and Fortrust. SEDEMAC is the largest supplier of genset controllers in India with a market share
of more than 75%.
SEDEMAC also offers a telecom market specific genset controllers where the BTS battery is monitored in addition to the utility
supply and the generator is started based on the battery state of charge (SoC). Key suppliers include SEDEMAC, DeepSea,
SmartGen, ComAp, Datakom and Fortrust.

Domestic genset controllers market size, Fiscal 2025-30P
The domestic market for genset controllers was valued at ₹ 666.0 million in fiscal 2025 and is expected to reach ₹900-1,000
million by fiscal 2030 growing at a CAGR or 6-8%. The market for genset controllers is majorly driven by the need for
automated solutions owing to its convenience. Despite improvement in power infrastructure, many parts of the country,
especially tier II and tier III cities, rural areas still face frequent outages and unreliable grid supply. This instability makes the
genset essential for business, industries and residencies to ensure continuous. Further, the growing digital economy, IT &
Telecom sector is driving the growth of data centers and communications infrastructure in the country. They rely heavily on
gensets for continuous power supply to maintain connectivity and prevent service disruption.

ECUs for Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI):
While CPCB IV+ in India mandates the use of EFI and emission control technologies in genset, the Tier 4 regulations in USA
only mandates the use of advanced emission control technologies. However, a shift in trend is witnessed where the market is
moving towards EFI in both portable and home standby models to offer better features to the end users. These are predominantly
gas engine based gensets which are very similar to the gasoline-based engines used in 2W/3W market. EFI can improve
reliability of starts irrespective of the ambient temperature and pressure without having to rely on seasonal setting modifications
and can also provide better fuel efficiency. The larger industrial gas gensets are already fuel injected. Key suppliers of EFI ECU
include SEDEMAC, Vitesco, Walbro and Borg Warner.

Threats and Challenges
Demand Side Challenges
Economic Slowdown and Industrial Output Decline
Impact on Sales and Production: The automotive Industry and within it the two-wheeler, three-wheeler, passenger vehicle,
and commercial vehicle industry are very closely linked to the performance of the economy. Economic slowdowns result in
reduced industrial activities and lower consumer spending, directly affecting automotive segments such as two-wheelers, three-
wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicle sales. We have projected real GDP growth to be 6.5% for fiscal 2026.
Any moderation to GDP growth may have an impact on Industrial output and investment and consequentially on the automotive
and auto-component Industry.
Above or below normal monsoons
Within the economic spectrum, automotive industry, especially two-wheelers, three-wheelers and passenger vehicles, are very
closely linked to the output of the agricultural sectors. While the agricultural sector has a direct dependence on the normalcy
of monsoon, the manufacturing and construction sectors are also indirectly impacted by monsoon performance both on demand
as well as supply side across various sub-segments on manufacturing. We have considered a normal monsoon scenario while
forecasting the outlook for the automotive Industry. If rain is not normal and there is a scenario like El Nino or La Nina
impacting farm activities on the rural side, then that could impact farm related incomes as well as sentiments which in turn can
affect the demand side factors for two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, three-wheelers and commercial vehicles.
Impact of changing interest rates scenario
A sustained high level of inflation could lead to rate hikes by the central bank thereby impacting interest rates. The transmission
of past rate hikes by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) have largely played out amid tight liquidity conditions. There
could be further rise in market lending rates in the near term on account of many other macroeconomic conditions thereby
leading to an increase in lending rates impacting cost of purchase.
241The two-wheeler industry has a large contribution of sales from the rural areas primarily for motorcycles. Purchases in these
areas are largely cash driven, but we are witnessing a decline in cash transactions as access to financing options has significantly
improved in the last few years. Moreover, both public and private players offer attractive interest rates and schemes to promote
more sales. If interest rates firm up, there is expected to be pressure on the industry in terms of consumers postponing their
purchase decisions.
Increase in vehicle cost of ownership
A vehicle’s cost of ownership is determined by its cost of acquisition and cost of operations, and both have a significant impact
on the demand. The cost of vehicle acquisition rises when OEMs transfer the impact of increased manufacturing costs to the
customers. In the past, the industry has seen price hikes owing to several reasons like emission norms implementation, increase
in raw material prices and general inflationary hikes. These are also likely to push vehicle prices upwards going forward. Auto
finance rates are also pivotal in determining affordability. The cost of operations for a customer is directly impacted by
fluctuations in crude oil prices and INR USD exchange rates, that cause rise in fuel import costs and overall fuel prices.
Geopolitical issues like the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine war, etc. could also impact fuel prices thereby having a bearing
on the vehicle demand and in turn for the metal product suppliers.
Price escalations on account of regulatory push
Based on European emission standards, the Indian government has introduced the Bharat Stage (BS) norms, which are being
implemented in a phased manner in the country. For the BS-VI stage 2 norms, applicable from fiscal 2024, companies have
invested in the relevant technology, research, and development, and signed joint ventures (JVs) with global players. These
norms have resulted in price hike for vehicles across segments owing to the introduction of new technologies to meet new
emission regulations. Going forward, new emission norms are likely to be announced, which could potentially raise vehicle
prices as well and impact the demand.
Inherent cyclicity of the domestic 2W, 3W and PV industry
The two-wheeler and passenger vehicle industry has close linkages with growth in GDP as well as business cycles impacting
incomes of probable customers thereby making the industry susceptible/vulnerable to these changes. This cyclical nature of the
two-wheeler and passenger vehicle industry poses constant challenges to the industry players and component suppliers as they
have to constantly manage inventory optimally and profitably.
Supply Side Challenges
Raw Material Availability and Cost
Cost Management: Fluctuating prices of raw materials like aluminium, iron and steel pose significant challenges to managing
costs. A sudden spike in prices, such as the increase in iron ore prices, can erode profit margins and make it difficult to offer
competitive pricing to customers. Metal product manufacturers must either absorb these costs, reducing profitability, or pass
them on to customers, potentially losing business to cheaper alternatives.
Supply Chain Disruptions Volatile raw material prices can also lead to supply chain disruptions if suppliers are unable to secure
consistent and affordable supplies. This inconsistency can result in production delays and missed deadlines, damaging
relationships with OEMs and other key clients.
For instance, the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war sent the commodities market into a frenzy, as regions that sourced
materials from these countries went into panic mode, with surge in input costs and finished product prices for metal and steel
products. The surge in export realizations sent domestic prices on a rally as well, thus impacting procurement prices for
domestic consumption.
Furthermore, the conflict such as Gaza and Israel, which produces about 35% of the world’s oil export and 14% of gas exports,
can have a wider impact on commodity prices and inflation which can impact manufacturing costs
Skilled Labour Shortage
Skilled labour is one of the most important supply side aspects in the manufacturing sector. Training and retaining skilled
workers in areas such as welding, fabricated assembly, surface finishing, precision manufacturing and power electronics
industry is a key driving factor for success of any segment of the industry.
242Thus, inadequate availability of skilled labour can be one of the significant challenges impacting the power electronics
manufacturing industry in India. This shortage can span across various facets, from production to maintenance and innovation,
ultimately affecting the industry's growth and global competitiveness.
• Nature of the Shortage: The advancing automotive sector requires a workforce proficient in modern manufacturing
technologies, and electronic components. The gap between demand and supply of such skilled labour is a monitorable
for the success of the industry going forward
• Educational and Training Gaps: The Indian education system and vocational training programs often lag in providing
industry-relevant skills. Engineering graduates and technical diploma holders frequently lack hands-on experience
with advanced technologies used in manufacturing of electrical and electronics systems.
• Attrition and Retention Issues: Skilled workers tend to migrate to sectors offering better compensation and working
conditions, such as IT or international opportunities. The high attrition rates further exacerbate the skill shortage within
the industrial sector.
• Demographic and Geographic Disparities: There can be a geographical mismatch in the availability of skilled labour.
Industrial hubs may struggle to attract talent from regions with a higher concentration of educational institutions due
to relocation issues and urban-rural divide.
Technological Obsolescence
Technological obsolescence refers to the phase-out of technologies as newer, more efficient, and advanced technologies emerge.
In India's manufacturing sector, technological obsolescence can be a potential challenge, affecting competitiveness,
productivity, and innovation capacity.
Increasing Competition
A surge in new entrants and portfolio expansions by legacy players intensifies competition, making customer acquisition
challenging.
Policy and Regulatory Challenges
Changes in tax and duties regime
Changes in duties and tax structures present significant threats to the automotive industry. These changes can have multifaceted
impacts on cost structures, supply chains, and overall competitiveness.
This threat is particularly significant due to India's evolving tax landscape and the government's periodic adjustments to import
duties and other taxes.
For instance, the initial phase of GST implementation saw significant disruption. Many businesses faced challenges adapting
to the new tax structure, leading to temporary slowdowns in the manufacturing value chain.
The Indian government periodically revises import duties on raw materials such as steel and aluminium, which are essential.
Increased costs due to higher import duties are often difficult to pass on to customers, especially in a highly competitive market.
This squeeze on profit margins forces manufacturers to absorb the additional costs, potentially reducing their financial health
and capacity to invest in new technologies or expansion.
Hence, changes in duty and tax structures across the automotive value chain pose significant threats by increasing costs,
complicating compliance, and creating market instability.
Ad hoc changes in policies
A challenge that the industry is facing is frequent changes in policies which make it difficult for auto industry stakeholders not
only to ensure adherence but also commit investments. Overall policy stability and transparency will be required going forward
to ensure smooth technology transition and localization in the country.

Overview
We are a supplier of control-intensive, critical-to-the-application electronic control units (“ECUs”) to leading original
equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) (Source: CRISIL Report) in the mobility and industrial markets in India, the United States,
and Europe. Majority of our revenue from operations is attributed to products which incorporate novel control technologies
that are conceived and developed entirely in-house, enabling us to offer fresh proprietary solutions that provide distinct value
to end-users or our OEM customers. Several of these unique technologies (as described in detail below in this section) have
achieved widespread adoption across the sectors we serve.
Critical-to-the-application components are those without which a piece of equipment cannot fulfil its primary function for the
end user (Source: CRISIL Report). For example, an ECU supporting electronic fuel injection (“EFI”) in an engine-powered
vehicle or a motor control unit (“MCU”) in an electric vehicle is indispensable for mobility; if it fails, the vehicle will not
move. In contrast, components like dashboards, though important, are not fundamental to the main function (Source: CRISIL
Report). Within critical-to-the-application components, we focus on “control-intensive” components that are application
specific and manage complex systems in real time (Source: CRISIL Report).
The table below sets forth details of revenue from operations generated from critical, control-intensive products for the three

according to the CRISIL Report, for Fiscal 2025 we are amongst the top players in the ISG ECU market for 2W and 3W
(combined) and the largest supplier of genset controllers in India.
We are an Indian Tier-I supplier (Source: CRISIL Report), selling directly to the OEMs, integrating our proprietary solutions
into their platforms with deep technical engagement, and supporting these solutions through the lifecycle of the products. Our
relationship with customers is built on providing innovation through fresh technologies thereby enabling our customers to
remain competitive in their markets.
In the automotive/mobility market, OEMs choose the technologies and core components that define their product architecture.
Major changes to core/key technologies do not occur frequently. Such transitions are usually triggered by regulatory
requirements (for example, emissions, safety or efficiency standards) or could be non-regulatory in nature, driven by OEM or
end-user preferences. These changes in the core technologies of the equipment require significant validation and especially in
case of non-regulatory changes, there is a significant risk of acceptability from OEMs. As a result, only suppliers with strong
R&D capability will be able to initiate or persuade innovation and new technology development (Source: CRISIL Report).
245We are among few Indian-origin suppliers who have repeatedly initiated, introduced, and scaled such breakthrough innovations
(Source: CRISIL Report). For example:
• The launch of SmartIgn technology in 2012, which eliminated the need for throttle position sensors in carburetted two-
and three-wheelers, delivered reliability and cost benefits.
• The introduction and scale-up of integrated electronic governing in genset controllers in 2014 which made electronic
governing affordable across all gensets.
• The development and market scaling, since 2018, of sensorless commutation (“SLC”) based motor control, that enabled
robust, and reliable ISG systems for two- and three-wheelers including for motorcycles that are mostly built with oil-
dipped magnetos.
Other major technology transformations in these sectors such as the adoption of various critical systems in vehicles or major
electrification shifts have largely depended on Tier-I suppliers (Source: CRISIL Report). We have demonstrated that our home-
grown technical team comprised of adequate engineers with strong academic pedigree can drive innovation, with breakthrough
technologies and create an impact by being amongst the key suppliers of such technology products, like ISG, EFI, ISG+EFI,
and GCs with innovative features. As at the date of filing this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our engineering team has
accumulated more than 570 man-years of contributions from engineers holding degrees from leading Indian institutions,
including IITs, National Institutes of Technology (“NITs”), and Birla Institute of Technology and Science (“BITS”). All these
engineers have successfully passed a rigorous technical assessment prior to joining our Company.
Our continued ability to initiate and scale such technical shifts is underpinned by a unique technical nucleus, i.e., a team led by
a core of expert engineers and scientists with established credentials and who remain focused on fundamentals. This nucleus
consists of our Promoters and other key engineers with academic background primarily from the IITs/NITs/BITS through
whom we have accumulated over 190 man-years of contributions. Such a nucleus continually reinforces our technical
advantage, allowing us to maintain a leadership position over multi-year cycles of technologies applicable to diverse markets.
This is visible through the continuous improvements in our product performance, new feature additions and increased adoption
of our products. For example, our ISG ECUs have evolved through multiple generations, progressing from Generation 1 (Gen1)
to the current Generation 3 (Gen3). Similarly, our GCs have advanced from Service Pack 0 (SP0) to Service Pack 3 (SP3).
Our technical nucleus has attracted other engineers with strong technical capabilities, strengthening our organization’s ability
to create and achieve widespread adoption of new technology propositions while maintaining high standards in quality and
delivery. This structural advantage means that we are not only able to introduce innovations but also continue supporting and
defending our competitive position over the lifespan of evolving industry technologies.
Our ability to deliver fresh and innovative technology is based on a disciplined approach to customer engagement and
technology deployment. We serve leading OEMs (Source: CRISIL Report) in different regulatory driven sectors like gensets,
2/3W engine powered industry and electric 2/3W industry. In our experience, these customers typically engage suppliers in a
rigorous, multi-stage process, beginning with concept vetting and technical evaluation, progressing through prototyping and
extensive field trials, followed by limited-volume trials, ultimately culminating in mass production. For critical components,
certain OEMs maintain long-term relationships with us, where the supplier ecosystem and underlying technologies tend to
change infrequently and changes are undertaken with significant caution.
We typically initiate engagement through a distinct technical proposal, often accompanied by a compelling demonstration,
offering clear advantages in performance, efficiency, cost, or reliability. When successful in attracting the attention of decision-
makers in OEMs, this leads to pilot programs, where system integration, manufacturing viability, and durability are assessed
collaboratively with the OEM. Only after multiple rounds of validation and technical refinement, often involving deep technical
and commercial collaboration, do our products progress to full-scale series production.
By enabling the introduction of multiple new-to-the-market technologies into large OEM programs, often as the first player in
India, as demonstrated above, we have established a reputation as a credible innovation partner. This credibility is reflected in
the rapidly growing volumes of our products integrated with such technologies across OEMs, as indicated in the table below
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Our process is designed to guide new propositions from ideation to market-wide adoption via seven key stages as highlighted
in table below, depending on the market and the proposition:
Table 1
Stage (Typical time spent in) Description
Technology proposition Every substantial new technology initiative begins with an
(typically 1 to 2 years, if successful) identification of industry pain points or envision “what could be” if
we solve a technical challenge. Our multidisciplinary project teams
analyse existing solutions, then simulate and iterate new technical
concepts. Only those with demonstrable promise and market
relevance progress further.
Proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration Selected technologies are prototyped and demonstrated on real or
(typically 0.25 to 0.5 years, if successful) representative equipment, typically to leading OEMs in the market.
These demonstrations, often conducted on customer premises,
begin building critical stakeholder conviction.
Commercial business win If technical feasibility and commercial value are established, the
(typically 0.25 to 1 year, if successful) OEM may commit through a letter of intent or development
contract, thereby becoming an anchor customer.
Joint development then targets robust integration and validation of
our technology within the customer’s product cycles.
Initial introduction We work alongside the OEM to ensure seamless integration of the
(typically 1 to 2 years) technology, including all necessary hardware, embedded software,
and interface components into their manufacturing platform.
Success is evaluated through initial production runs and
subsequently receive strong positive feedback from end-users and
field data.
Early growth On confirmation of reliability and market acceptance, anchor
(typically 2 to 3 years) customers typically expand the solution across other product lines,
deepening our presence as the primary supplier.
Broader market adoption The success story and robust operational track record enable other
(3 to 5 years) OEMs to replicate adoption, supported by our capacity for
additional customization and validation as required by different
production environments.
Sustaining industry position As the technology gains widespread usage, we invest in ongoing
(till the technology stays relevant) improvement, drive cost reductions, enhance feature sets, and
support wider deployment across diverse use cases thereby
reinforcing our sustained market leadership.
The infographic below sets forth evolution of our portfolio mix of key propositions over the last 10 years.
Current products and markets
Electronic controllers and mechatronic systems typically involve four core design aspects: (i) hardware; (ii) base software
(handling initialization and hardware control); (iii) application software (logic of controlling the system in question); and (iv)
247mechanical integration.
Depending on specific requirements, a given component may present greater complexity in one or more of these domains. Our
in-house engineering teams are structured to deliver complete ownership and integration of all four aspects, with intellectual
property (“IP”) strengths in base software and application software. The development of such proprietary software involves
significant technical effort and has underpinned our product differentiation in the marketplace.
For customers seeking greater control over proprietary aspects of their equipment’s behaviour, we also offer
a CustomECU model, offering flexibility to our customers while maintaining our tight integration, i.e., ensuring that our
solution works seamlessly with their equipment(s). This allows customers, often OEMs with strong technical teams, to develop
and own their application software in-house, while we provide the hardware and base software layers (including hardware
abstraction, core application functions, any proprietary technologies from our side and application programming interfaces).
As a result, customers can keep their own differentiated logic or IP internal, while leveraging the robustness and scale of our
hardware and software foundation along with any unique IP from our side.
We currently sell millions of control-intensive, critical-to-application controllers for complex systems globally across diverse
markets every year. The key sectors include (i) Industrial: Generators – for which we supplied 201,107 control-intensive
controllers during Fiscal 2025; (ii) Mobility: ICE 2/3W vehicles, - for which we supplied 2,228,133 control-intensive
controllers during Fiscal 2025; and (iii) Mobility: electric two/three-wheeler vehicles and bicycles - for which we supplied
9,364 control-intensive controllers during Fiscal 2025. Apart from these, we are actively engaged in a development programme
in the commercial vehicles sector and have had successful proof-of-concept demonstrations of our SLC based motor control in
the power tools market and are also engaged in the introduction of ECUs for commercial vehicles.
Our flagship products include ISG ECUs, EFI ECUs, combined ISG+EFI ECUs, MCUs for electric vehicles, electric machines
(magnetos / motors) for both engine-powered and electric bicycles and 2/3W and GCs.

Products and markets under development
Mobility: Commercial Vehicles and Industrial: Power Tools
We engage with the leadership team of new customers and leaders of new markets primarily through networking, often through
conferences, expositions, or through direct connections enabled by consultants or board members. Operating as a B2B player,
we do not invest in direct advertising to attract new customers.
Through these engagement channels, we have expanded our presence across multiple market segments beyond our core engine-
powered 2/3W, electric 2/3W, and gensets businesses. One such product proposition is for aftertreatment control in heavy-
duty, diesel-powered, commercial vehicles, which is currently in the 'Initial Introduction' stage within our technology
deployment stages. This control-intensive ECU is critical for meeting the BS-VI targeted emissions in commercial vehicles.
We are also engaging in both ICE and electric-powered light commercial vehicle (LCV) markets through our EFI ECUs and
MCUs. These are in the early ‘Commercial Business Win’ and ‘Proof of Concept (PoC) Demonstration’ stages, respectively,
of our technology deployment stages (please refer to Table 1 on page 247).
We have also been engaged in the market for power tools, where our SLC motor control technology sees traction within the
battery-powered tools market based on our current engagements. We have successfully conducted Proof-of-Concept
demonstrations to multiple key global players in this market, with the performance of our technology being on par with the
existing state-of-the-art that uses built-in position sensors on the motors used, with improvement in reliability coming in from
the elimination of the position sensors. According to the CRISIL Report, in 2024 global power tool sales by volume were 334.7
million units with a growing trend for battery-powered tools. This proposition is currently in the ‘Commercial Business Win’
stage within our technology deployment stages (please refer to Table 1 on page 247).
Competitive Landscape and Our Strengths
The core of our competitive environment consists of two principal Tier-I supplier categories. The first group comprises
companies that acquire proven technologies from global manufacturers with the ability to adapt these designs to serve their
customers or who partner with technology companies primarily for technologies and product designs, without significant, in-
house R&D capability through a joint venture. While these suppliers can offer improvements by leveraging externally sourced
technology, their capacity for step-change innovation is fundamentally constrained by reliance on third-party and limited in-
house engineering resources. The second major group includes suppliers who have had a history of proposing and
commercializing new technologies, maintaining full design ownership and often driving technology adoption among OEMs.
250These organizations possess deep technical capability, capacity to introduce new technology platforms and the ability to carry
out end-to-end design and development of their products. However, the scale and legacy systems can sometimes inhibit rapid
adaptation to customer-specific requirements for suppliers who are dependent on their global parent group (Source: CRISIL
Report).
Our competitive advantage lies in the conception of novel technologies and end-to-end ownership of such technology as well
as designs of associated products that integrate such technologies, all designed and developed in-house. This enables both rapid
innovation and agile delivery of advanced, differentiated solutions. This approach delivers several tangible benefits, as follows:
• First-to-Market advantage: Some of our key differentiated, critical, control-intensive technology/ product propositions,
such as SLC motor control technology and associated products with applications in different markets, genset controllers
with integrated eGov function, and SmartIgn technology for carburetted 2/3Ws, enjoy first-mover advantages within
those markets and have enabled our customers to offer features appreciated by end-users. This has helped us to drive
industry-wide adoption of them and secure/ maintain strong positions within our markets.
• Agility: Our full control over design, engineering, and manufacturing along with a technically strong team empowers
us to quickly develop, validate, and scale customized solutions in response to changing market or supply conditions.
Furthermore, our technical strength and end-to-end ownership of the technologies and product designs enable us to
carry-out quick root cause analyses of failures. Such agility is typically seen as a significant positive by OEMs (Source:
CRISIL Report).
• Synergy across markets and products: Complete ownership of core technologies allows us to efficiently transfer proven
solutions and technical learnings across markets while leveraging aggregated volumes for procurement advantages,
particularly in semiconductors.
• Continued ability to build fresh propositions: We demonstrate a sustained record of launching first-to-market,
differentiated technologies that establish market leadership, such as SLC motor control technology and associated
products with applications in different markets, and genset controllers with integrated eGov function, with each new
product embedding our platforms further into customer operations. This continuity is underpinned by a high-quality
technical nucleus and strong engineering expertise, enabling us to thrive across evolving product cycles and industry
shifts.
• Quality and Delivery: Through extensive validation, effective processes and procedures, and large-scale
implementation of our technologies and products, we have been able to demonstrate consistently low part failure rates.
Our strong quality and delivery record, coupled with our differentiated propositions, has established us as an innovative
and reliable partner.
Detailed Description of our Competitive Strengths
First-To-Market Advantage Driving Market Leadership, Creates High Entry Barriers, and Enables Sustained Competitive
Advantage
We have been first-to-market on several of our key differentiated, control-intensive propositions (Source: CRISIL Report),
creating strong entry barriers for potential competitors. This positioning enables us to establish and maintain market leadership,
influence industry adoption trends, and enhance our competitive advantage as the dominant player in those markets.
Critical, control-intensive technologies and products undergo extensive validation before their initial introduction. OEMs
introducing such solutions invest significant resources in their implementation, integration, and validation, thereby creating a
barrier to switching to alternative technologies (Source: CRISIL Report).
Being first-to-market enables us to gain a comprehensive understanding of how our technology performs in specific
applications, including valuable early customer feedback. This head start, combined with our agility, helps us to introduce
successive generations of products, continuously raising industry benchmarks and making it increasingly challenging for
competitors that follow.
Examples of our differentiated propositions which have enjoyed first-mover advantage include our eGov integration in GCs,
SLC-based ISG and SmartIgn (Source: CRISIL Report). We have been able to achieve widespread adoption and market
leadership in all of these propositions over a period as evident in our track record. For example, according to the CRISIL
Report, we are the first company globally to develop, design, and manufacture sensorless ISG systems for small 2/3W ICE-
powered vehicles. Our sensorless ISG units are installed in more than 7.5 million vehicles in India and abroad, and we are
ranked among the top global players by ISG sales for these sectors as of June 30, 2025, according to the CRISIL Report.
Furthermore, in the genset controller market, we lead in India with a 75% market share by volume, and rank amongst the top
global suppliers with a market share of 14% globally by volume for this industry, for Fiscal 2025 (Source: CRISIL Report).
We are also recognised, as the first player to offer electronic governing as an integrated feature within genset controllers in
251India, since 2014, with over 250,000 generator sets featuring eGov as of June 30, 2025.
First-mover advantage allowed us to commercialize and achieve significant growth in SmartIgn, which has been shipped for
integration in more than 43.6 million vehicles cumulatively from its launch in 2012 to the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. Similar advantage and corresponding widespread usage are visible in our other propositions, including genset
controllers with integrated electronic governing, where our controllers have been shipped out for integration in more than
960,000 gensets from their launch in 2014 to June 30, 2025 (Source: CRISIL Report).
Together, these elements create a virtuous cycle, i.e., pioneering launches deliver early feedback; rapid learning enables quick
product evolution; deep integration with customers strengthens our position; and ongoing improvement secures our leadership.
Our dynamic first-mover advantage is sustained by technical expertise, a strong culture of innovation, and strategic investment.
Agility At Scale Through Integrated Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing Enables Rapid Innovation and Swift Market
Response
Our agility at scale is derived from complete ownership of product design, engineering, and manufacturing. Such ownership
enables us to move with agility from concept and validation to large-scale production without dependence on third-party
licensors, technology partners, or other outsourcing. As a result, we retain full control throughout the product lifecycle,
supporting prompt and flexible responses to customer requirements, regulatory developments, and unexpected technical or
supply chain challenges. We believe that this degree of integration provides us with competitive advantages against our peers.
Central to this strength is our organizational resource pool of skilled engineers with strong academic backgrounds, led by one
of our Promoters and our Chief Technology Officer, Anaykumar Avinash Joshi. Anay oversees all research, development, and
product innovation and has played a principal role in developing and scaling our differentiated sensorless motor control
technology, shaping the strategic direction of our technology platform. Together, Anay and our engineering team develop an
in-depth understanding of how our products operate in real-world conditions. This expertise enables them to diagnose technical
issues quickly and adapt our solutions to meet new customer requirements or regulatory changes. Such expertise is particularly
valuable to Tier-1 technology suppliers like us, where product adoption often coincides with OEM model launches or evolving
regulatory standards.
Our technical nucleus is strengthened by a culture that attracts and nurtures talented engineers from leading institutions. As of
June 30, 2025, our wider engineering team has 217 members, with 62.21% holding qualifications from the IITs, NITs, and
BITS. This deep pool of capability ensures that we can mobilize expertise swiftly, supporting innovative problem-solving and
new product development in response to industry shifts.
A clear demonstration of this agility occurred during the global semiconductor supply chain disruption caused by the COVID-
19 pandemic. Our team created alternate designs with urgency, using the components with higher availability/ visibility to
ensure that our customers did not suffer loss of production due to us, across the diverse markets that we serve. Leveraging
proven in-house technology to enter a time-sensitive new market enabled us to minimize time to market and maintain our
customers’ ability to deliver vehicles, despite global shortages. The combination of our technical leadership, integrated
operations, and a strong engineering resource pool ensures that the combination of our differentiated, control-intensive
propositions and agility is difficult for others to replicate and supports our ongoing commercial success.
Synergies Driving Cross Market Technology Use, Procurement Advantages, and Robust Partnerships
As originators and owners of our core technologies, we control both their initial development and continual evolution. This
complete ownership and our focus towards actively looking for opportunities that allow us to transfer proven technical solutions
and technical learnings from one market to an adjacent market have led us to establish strong synergies in our efforts across
markets. As a result, we not only enhance technical performance and robustness of our offerings in new markets but also
achieve significant benefits through consolidated procurement and economies of scale while building strong, entrenched
relationships with our key suppliers.
For example, our motor control architecture, originally developed for ISG applications in engine-powered 2/3W vehicles, has
been successfully adapted for use in electric two- and three-wheelers, and is now being carried to markets we are new to, such
as power tools. Another example of a benefit was the adaptation of an EFI ECU, developed for the North American, natural
gas-powered generator engines, to cater to an urgent need within an Indian engine-powered motorcycle, where there were
supply-related concerns post COVID-19. This allowed us to enter the EFI ECU supplies in the Indian 2/3W market and further
create a compelling ISG+EFI integrated ECU proposition, with the elimination of duplicated electronics, aiding faster adoption
of our SLC-based ISG technology by OEMs.
An active focus on leveraging this synergy means that each deployment in new markets benefits from prior validation, field
testing, and improvement in earlier markets. By building on success in earlier markets, our products have become increasingly
reliable and competitive, making it easier for new customers/ markets to adopt them.
252Our proactive approach to looking for synergies across markets we serve also drives meaningful economies of scale, building
strong, entrenched relationships with the global suppliers of key raw materials, semiconductor components in our case, allowing
us to build and sustain a robust supply chain and drive long-term price advantages that we can transfer to our customers, while
simultaneously reducing our cost of goods sold. These advantages have enabled us to build and sustain long-term partnerships
with OEMs, who look to us as a dependable, consistent provider of value-engineered, control-intensive products across product
generations and market cycles.
Continued Ability to Innovate, Scale, and Embed Differentiated Technologies
Our sustained capacity to launch and scale differentiated technologies across diverse markets clearly sets us apart from
competitors. We consistently turn concepts into real-world solutions, drawing on the expertise of our highly qualified engineers
and scientists, supported by institutional knowledge. This team approach ensures innovation is continuous rather than
occasional, enabling rapid product evolution in response to changing market dynamics and customer needs. Our emphasis on
continual innovation and improvement is evident not only in the generational changes in our GC and ISG ECU products over
time but also through features including idle start-stop and torque assist that have improved our customers’ or end-users'
experience.
Our core engineering and leadership teams are the driving force behind this ability. Their technical depth, combined with a
sharp understanding of complex system behaviours, enables us to create solutions that are difficult to replicate. Over time, this
approach has delivered multiple successful product introductions and enabled profitable expansion into new markets, such as
our SLC ISG ECUs, EFI ECUs, ISG+EFI ECUs, and MCUs for the 2/3W mobility markets; ACMs for the commercial vehicle
mobility market; and EFI ECUs for the industrial markets, amongst others.
Our culture of innovation is nurtured by both organizational leadership and technical teams. Amit Dixit, one of our Promoters
and Joint Managing Director, has led technology exploration and played a central role in pioneering new platforms, including
our sensorless motor control technology. His continued involvement ensures we remain at the forefront of emerging
opportunities.
Our dual strengths, i.e., disciplined, ongoing technical delivery paired with leadership, enable a reliable pattern of successful
product and technology launches. Each new deployment embeds our platforms deeper into customer operations and reinforces
our long-term relationships, while raising barriers to substitution and competitor entry. Ultimately, this model supports
sustained profitability, strengthens customer dependence, and gives us a clear advantage in both competitive tenders and
enduring partnerships.
Quality, Traceability, and Reliable Delivery
A critical foundation of our sustained success lies in our commitment to quality and reliability, especially in critical, control-
intensive products where a failure results in the end-user's equipment being rendered unusable. Our products undergo rigorous,
validation protocols to ensure robust performance under demanding conditions. We proactively monitor product outcomes
using tailored failure metrics for each sector we serve, allowing us to benchmark our performance and continuously enhance
our processes.
Guided by one of our Promoters and Chief Operating Officer, Manish Sharma, we have established a mature manufacturing
system that incorporates complete traceability from raw material through to finished goods. This ensures consistent quality and
transparency at every stage of production.

Our response to the global semiconductor shortage further demonstrated our reliability: rapid product redesign and agile supply
253management enabled us to maintain uninterrupted deliveries, ensuring that customers experienced no production stoppages due
to us, despite significant global disruption. These strengths, combined with disciplined cost efficiency, have enabled us to
successfully scale products such as controllers for generator sets and our SLC-based motor control systems for automotive and
industrial customers, establishing our position as a supplier of choice for OEMs that prioritize innovation coupled with
reliability.
Our Growth Strategies
Our strategic priorities are designed to achieve our goal of becoming a globally respected supplier of innovative, control-
intensive technologies that see widespread adoption, while demonstrating robust growth, profitability, and capital efficiency.
Expand Technologies and Products Across Multiple Large Markets
A key strategy of ours is to develop and deliver technologies and products that address multiple large mobility and industrial
markets across diverse geographies. We deliberately avoid restricting our attention to just one or two sectors or to small, niche
sectors. Instead, we aim to serve large end-markets, such as high-volume mobility and some select industrial markets, ensuring
that our product platforms are relevant globally with a meaningful size of business. For example, we offer a comprehensive
portfolio ranging from ISG ECUs and EFI ECUs for engine-powered 2/3Ws to controllers for the genset market. We also
continue to expand into high-potential growth areas, including power tools, outdoor powered equipment, and commercial
vehicle applications.
Our launch of an aftertreatment controller for an Indian commercial vehicle OEM, with series supply, is currently under
validation. Similarly, our SLC motor-control technology being adapted and demonstrated to global players, demonstrates our
intention to address large adjacent sectors such as power tools, which witnessed sales of 334.7 million units during 2024,
according to the CRISIL Report. By prioritizing entry into multiple large markets, we intend to foster global relevance, broaden
our revenue base, strengthen our adaptability, and achieve sustained business growth.
Drive Technology and Product Differentiation
We are committed to ongoing investment in differentiated, innovative technologies and products tailored to the unique needs
of each market. Our approach is to design and deliver control-intensive offerings that provide tangible value and critical
functionality for OEM customers, such as improved performance, customer experience, and enable them to comply with
regulatory norms. We have successfully developed technologies with such differentiation and offered related products to the
markets, including sensorless motor control (ISG, ISG+EFI ECUs), integration of electronic governing in GCs, TCIs with
SmartIgn technology, rare-earth-free motors, and continue to do so.
Furthermore, we do not pursue widely available technologies/ products which lack distinctiveness. By avoiding commoditized
products and focusing on value-added differentiation, we secure a reputation as a provider of innovative, complex technologies
and products, enhancing industry-wide respect, supporting leadership, and maintaining healthy profitability that supports
fueling further technology development efforts.
Offer A Suite of Control-Intensive Products for Each Market
We intentionally aim to establish ourselves within each key market by offering a diverse array of critical, control-intensive
solutions, rather than limiting our range to one or two products per sector. We currently sell critical, control-intensive products
like ISG, EFI, and ISG+EFI ECUs and MCUs for the two/three-wheeler mobility applications and GCUs and EFI ECUs to the
genset market.
This multi-product approach allows us to deepen our relationship with customers, increase value per equipment, and serve a
broader spectrum of their needs. It also enhances capital efficiency by generating multiple revenue streams for a single market
while providing customers with integrated solutions, as seen in our line-up for both powertrain and generator applications. We
consciously avoid narrow engagement models that would weaken our value proposition over time.
Build and Sustain Partnerships with Market Leaders
We prioritise long-term, entrenched partnerships with leading OEMs. For first commercial launches, our preference is to work
with established, technically capable customers who can commit to rigorous technology validation and invest in early adoption.
This focus on working with leaders increases the likelihood of successful integration and technology creation and reinforces
our position as a respected solutions provider.
Our long-term relationships with market leaders in both the mobility and industrial segments, combined with our engineering
strength and agility, have supported the introduction of new technologies and products into series production as detailed above.
Leverage Synergies Across Markets, Products, and Supply Chains
254We continuously seek to unlock efficiencies and advantages by deploying shared technology platforms and streamlining supply
chains across our product and market portfolio. Rather than permitting business units and engineering teams to operate as
isolated silos, we encourage cross-functional collaboration, i.e., designing products with common core architectures that deliver
substantial product robustness, cost, scalability, and speed-to-market benefits. By concentrating on synergies and the offering
of robust products with cross-market learnings incorporated, we drive, profitability, improve capital efficiency, foster industry
respect, and reinforce widespread adoption of our technologies.

Technical centres
We have two technical development centres based in Pune, Maharashtra, each with dedicated lab spaces and equipment for the
development of products for both engine-powered and electric vehicular systems. Our equipment includes dynamometers for
the development and calibration of motors and motor control units for ICE-powered and electric mobility applications, a two-
wheeler chassis dynamometer for the development of engine control units, and other in-house product validation equipment.
This includes cold chassis chambers, environmental chambers, vibration shakers, salt spray chambers, and more for validating
designs before implementation in systems. Easy access to such equipment allows our engineering team to rapidly build system
understanding and supports agile development of technology and products.
Early-stage design validation and quick design modifications, where necessary, help shorten the product development lifecycle
without compromising design quality. These in-house facilities provide our engineering team with ready access to essential
equipment, enabling them to build system understanding quickly and support the rapid development of robust technologies and
products through exhaustive validation.
Our technical centre structure is highlighted by way of the illustrative image below:
Manufacturing Facilities
We operate two operational manufacturing facilities: MF1, and MF2 both located in Chakan, Pune, India, are dedicated to
manufacturing electronic controllers. These manufacturing facilities are certified ISO 9001 and IATF standards to ensure the
quality of our products. Our facilities also include temperature- and humidity-controlled chambers for raw material storage,
which are essential for semiconductor materials. In addition, we can periodically validate products against design expectations.
Manufacturing process
A typical process flow at our manufacturing facilities is outlined below. As highlighted in the process chart below, our
manufacturing operations place significant emphasis on early fault detection, traceability for a tighter control on quality, cost
and delivery of the products that we manufacture.
258We convert raw materials such as printed circuit boards (“PCBs”), semiconductors, enclosures, and other components into
electronic control units following the process as highlighted in the infographic above. The process begins with receipt of the
raw materials for our products from our vendors, followed by an inspection based on parameters such as packaging damage,
correctness of the part numbers, shelf life of the parts, and verification of dimensions and aesthetics for mechanical parts. This
early-stage inspection helps detect any potential failure modes. The raw materials are then allocated to our manufacturing line
based on the production plan. The components used have complete traceability and are verified automatically once loaded in
the pick-and-place machines on the line to detect any potential deviations.
This is followed by the PCB assembly process, starting with the placement of semiconductor components on the PCBs,
followed by inspection and soldering. Soldering establishes solid electrical connections between the semiconductor
components and the PCBs. Once soldered, these are typically referred to as 'assembled PCBs' or PCBAs.
The PCBA then undergoes electrical or in-circuit testing (“ICT”), where component values are verified, enabling early
detection of failures in passive components. Passive components, such as resistors and capacitors, do not alter their
characteristics or functions based on the electrical input, whereas active components include microcontrollers, transistors, field-
effect transistors, and application-specific integrated circuits, which actively respond to electrical signals.
After ICT, we programme the relevant product software into the microcontroller assembled on the PCB. The PCBA is then
integrated into a product housing or casing.
At this semi-finished stage, the product undergoes a pre-potting functional test. Potting involves filling the housing with epoxy
material to seal the PCBA, protecting it from dust and water intrusion and enhancing its mechanical robustness. The potted
controller is then subjected to worst-case load scenarios, often at elevated ambient temperatures, to stress-test the controller
through burn-in tests.
Once these tests are complete, we check the controllers for functionality to confirm that all components are performing to
specification. The units then proceed to pre-dispatch inspection and packaging. Finally, we dispatch the packaged controllers
to our customers' manufacturing plants (i.e., OEMs), where the controllers are integrated into the finished equipment, which is
then shipped to end users through the OEMs' sales channels.
Capacity of Our Manufacturing Facilities
Our capacity increases are typically achieved through the addition of new machinery and equipment. We regularly assess the
feasibility of such expansions, which depend on the availability of space, equipment, and required capital expenditure. As
capacity additions usually require a minimum lead time of three to six months, we make advance investments where
appropriate. We generally maintain our capacity utilisation at around 80 to 85%. This provides us with flexibility to address
sudden changes in demand or unexpected downtime, while continuing to fulfil our customers’ estimated requirements.
To support our continued growth, we have consistently increased the total capacity of MF1, our facility for control-intensive
products. Installed capacity has grown from 2.47 million ISG ECUs in Fiscal 2023 to 3.04 million ISG ECUs in Fiscal 2024
and 3.99 million ISG ECUs as of 31 March 2025.
During this period of capacity expansion, our production volumes and utilisation rates at MF1 have also been consistent or
improved. Our capacity utilisation increased from 75.95% in Fiscal 2023 to 74.81% in Fiscal 2024 and 76.42 per cent in Fiscal
2592025. For the three months ended 30 June 2025, the utilisation rate was 93.30%, reflecting strong operational performance for
that period.
Installed Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilization
The information relating to the installed capacity, actual production and capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities
included below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates of our
management that have been taken into account in the calculation of our capacity, and these have been certified by Uday
Dattatraya Sathe, independent chartered engineer, pursuant to certificate dated November 10, 2025.
Undue reliance should therefore not be placed on our capacity information or historical capacity utilization information for our
existing facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. See “Risk Factors – Information relating to our annual
installed capacity, annual average available capacity, actual production and the capacity utilization of our manufacturing
facilities included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is based on various assumptions and estimates. Undue reliance on the
capacity information or historical capacity utilization data for our current manufacturing facilities included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus.” on page 66.

Notes:
(1) Manufacturing capacity of critical, control intensive products at MF1 is normalized (converted) against number of ISG ECUs. This is essential considering that different products take different time for the
conversion of raw material to finished good. We map this time for every product and divide it by the time taken to produce an ISG ECU to create a ISG equivalent ratio for it.
(2) For capacity calculations, actual production is also converted to ISG equivalent units and % is worked out considering Installed Capacity in ISG equivalent units. ISG equivalent ratios are periodically
reviewed to ensure they reflect any changes in product design or manufacturing processes.
(3) Installed capacity increased by 961,551 equivalent ISG ECUs, or 31.67%, from 3,036,456 at March 31, 2024 to 3,998,007 at March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of planned capacity expansion. Actual
production increased by 783565 equivalent ISG ECUs, or 34.49%, from 2,271,608 at March 31, 2024 to 3,055,173 at March 31, 2025.
(4) Installed capacity as of June 30, 2025 is determined on a pro rata basis. We calculate this by taking the full-year installed capacity as at March 31, 2025, adjusting for any capacity increases occurring
during the period, and dividing the total by four to reflect the quarterly figure. In contrast, actual production for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 represents the exact production recorded during the
period and is not calculated on a pro rata basis. This distinction ensures that the utilisation rate accurately reflects operational output for the reporting period.
The table below sets forth details of capacity details for MF2:

Notes:
(1) Installed capacity at MF2 relates to non-critical products and is presented on an actuals basis rather than using normalised or equivalent units. Each product’s installed capacity reflects the actual number
of units that can be produced, without conversion into a core product equivalent, as all products require broadly similar production processes and time. Therefore, both installed capacity and actual
production for MF 2 represent true physical units produced or capable of being produced for each product.
(2) Capacity utilisation for MF2 is calculated as actual production divided by installed capacity for the relevant period
(3) Installed capacity at MF2 as of 30 June 2025 is determined on a pro rata basis by dividing the full-year installed capacity as at March 31, 2025 by four, as no additional capacity was added during the
quarter. In contrast, actual production for the quarter represents the precise number of units manufactured during the period, not calculated pro rata. This facilitates an accurate comparison between
production and capacity for the reporting period.
(4) The decrease in production and capacity utilisation at MF2 during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to a shift in the Company’s product mix, driven by increasing market demand for our
control-intensive products principally manufactured at MF1. This transition is evidenced by increased production and capacity utilisation at MF1 during the period. While demand for certain non-control-
intensive product lines at MF2 has declined, this change supports overall long-term growth by aligning production resources with evolving market opportunities.

Domestic and Export Sales
India is currently our largest and most critical market, and our business model is based on developing long-term relationships
with a select group of key (anchor) customers across all product categories. We also export products to regions outside India
such as United States and Europe.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and for Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023, revenue generated within India represented
over 90.00% of our revenue from operations in each period, as detailed below:

Power and Fuel
Ensuring uninterrupted access to fuel and power is fundamental to maintaining the reliability and efficiency of our operations.
Our manufacturing processes and service delivery rely on a stable and adequate supply of energy sources to meet production
targets and uphold quality standards.
Inventory Management
Our inventory management practices are designed to ensure an optimal balance between meeting customer demand and
maintaining efficient levels of working capital. We regularly monitor inventory levels and turnover ratios to minimise the risk
of overstocking or obsolescence, while maintaining sufficient stock to support our operations. Our approach aims to support
operational continuity, respond effectively to market requirements, and reduce costs associated with excess inventory. We
believe that consistent and prudent inventory management contributes positively to our overall business performance.
The table below sets forth details of our inventory turnover ratio as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and
March 31, 2023:

Ratio(1) (times)
Note:
(1) Inventory turnover ratio is calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. Inventory turnover ratio as of June 30,
2025 is not annualised.
Logistics and Transportation
A significant proportion of our products are delivered to customers in India by road and to international customers primarily
by sea. We engage third-party logistics service providers for these requirements on a need basis and currently do not maintain
long-term, formalised contracts with such service providers. This model allows us flexibility and cost management.
The table below illustrates that although freight and forward charges constituted a relatively minor percentage of our total
expenses, reliable logistics are critical to our operations and customer relationships:

265Competition
We operate in competitive segments within the control-intensive electronic components industry, catering to both mobility and
industrial markets. Our principal competitors include international and domestic suppliers with varying capabilities in
innovation and technology ownership.
We are the first company in India to develop, design and manufacture SLC based ISG ECUs for 2W and 3W ICE powered
vehicles (Source: CRISIL Report). Furthermore, within the Indian domestic market for ISG ECUs, we are one of the leading
suppliers, competing mainly with Shindengen and Denso. We hold approximately 30% of domestic ISG ECU market share for
2/3Ws (by volume) and are amongst the top four players in India as of Fiscal 2025 (Source: CRISIL Report). We distinguish
ourselves by supplying sensorless ISG solutions, whereas most peer suppliers rely on sensor-based solutions (Source: CRISIL
Report).
We are a key supplier of EFI ECUs for 2/3Ws. Other major players in this space include Astemo, Bosch, Vitesco, Varroc-
Dellorto, Marelli and Mikuni. The development of these complex ECU technologies is handled in varying ways; some
competitors develop entirely in-house, while others depend on joint ventures or technology licensing for innovation and product
support (Source: CRISIL Report).
More broadly, competition in the control technologies sector is shaped by the distinction between suppliers who rely on
externally sourced technology (often through partnerships or joint ventures or technology licensing) (Source: CRISIL Report)
and those, like our Company, with robust in-house research and development capabilities and full control of design and
development.
In the field of motor controllers for electric vehicles, we face competition from companies such as Sterling-GTake, Bosch,
Vitesco, and Varroc (Source: CRISIL Report). In the voltage regulator rectifier category, key competitors include Flash,
Napino, Shindengen and INEL. (Source: CRISIL Report)

Intellectual property laws
The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (the “Trademarks Act”)
The Trademarks Act governs the statutory protection of trademarks and prohibits any use of deceptively similar trademarks,
among others. The purpose of the Trade Marks Act is to grant exclusive rights to marks such as a brand, label and heading, and
to obtain relief in case of infringement of registered trademarks. Indian law permits the registration of trademarks for both
goods and services. Once granted, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled, subsequent to which, it can
be renewed. If not renewed, the mark is removed from the register of trademarks and the registration is required to be restored.
The Patents Act, 1970 (the “Patents Act”)
The Patents Act governs the patent regime in India. Being a signatory to the TRIPS, India is required to recognize product
patents as well as process patents. In addition to the broad requirement that an invention satisfy the requirements of novelty,
utility and non-obviousness in order for it to avail patent protection, the Patents Act further provides that patent protection may
not be granted to certain specified types of inventions and materials even if they satisfy the above criteria.
Section 39 of the Patents Act also prohibits any person resident in India from applying for a patent for an invention outside
India without making an application for a patent for the same invention in India. The term of a patent granted under the Patents
Act pursuant to Section 53 is for a period of twenty years from the date of filing of the application for the patent. A patent shall
cease to have effect if the renewal fee is not paid within the period prescribed for the payment of such renewal fee. Further, the
Patents Act also provides for the recognition of product patents in respect of food, medicine and drugs; that import of patented
products will not be considered as an infringement; and that under certain circumstances, the burden of proof in case of
infringement of process patents may be transferred to the alleged infringer.
Designs Act, 2000 (“DA”) and the Designs Rules, 2001 (“DR”)
The DA regulates and protects the originality of an article’s design and prohibits the piracy of registered designs. The primary
objective of the DA is to protect new or original designs from getting copied, and ensure that the creator, originator or artisan
of the design is not deprived of their rightful gains for the creation of their design. The central government also drafted the DR
under the authority of the DA for the purposes of specifying certain prescriptions regarding the practical aspects related to
designs such as payment of fees, register for designs, classification of goods, address for service, restoration of designs, etc.
271Foreign Investment and Trade Regulations
Foreign Investment Regulations
Foreign investment in India is governed by the provisions of Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended, along
with the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 (“FEMA Rules”), regulations and notifications
made by the Reserve Bank of India thereunder, and the consolidated foreign direct investment policy (“FDI Policy”), effective
from October 15, 2020, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (“DPIIT”), and any
modifications thereto or substitutions thereof, issued from time to time (the “Consolidated FDI Policy”). Under the current
Consolidated FDI Policy, foreign direct investment in manufacturing sector is under automatic route. Further, a manufacturer
is permitted to sell its products manufactured in India through wholesale and/or retail, including through e-commerce, without
Government approval. Further, in terms of the FEMA Non-Debt Instruments Rules, the total holding by each FPI or an investor
group shall be below 10% of the total paid-up equity share capital of our Company and the total holdings of all FPIs put together
with effect from April 1, 2020, can be up to the sectoral cap applicable to the sector in which our Company operates (i.e., up

Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992 (the “FTA”)
The FTA seeks to provide for the development and regulation of foreign trade by facilitating imports into, and augmenting
exports from, India. The FTA provides that no person shall make any import or export except under an importer-exporter code
number (“IEC”) granted by the Director General of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce (“DGFT”). The IEC granted to any
person may be suspended or cancelled inter alia in case the person contravenes any of the provisions of FTA or any rules or
orders made thereunder or the DGFT or any other officer authorized by him has reason to believe that any person has made an
export or import in a manner prejudicial to the trade relations of India. Any person who makes any export or import in
contravention of any provision of this Act or any rules or orders made thereunder, or the foreign trade policy would become
liable to a penalty under the FTA.
Competition Act, 2002 (“Competition Act”) as amended by the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Act
Amendment”)
The Competition Act is an act to prevent practices having adverse effect on competition, to promote and sustain competition
in markets, to protect interest of consumer and to ensure freedom of trade in India. The act deals with prohibition of (i) certain
agreements such as anti-competitive agreements and (ii) abuse of dominant position and regulation of combinations. No
enterprise or group shall abuse its dominant position in various circumstances as mentioned under the Competition Act. The
prima facie duty of the Competition Commission of India (“Commission”) is to eliminate practices having adverse effect on
competition, promote and sustain competition, protect interest of consumer and ensure freedom of trade. The Commission shall
issue notice to show cause to the parties to combination calling upon them to respond within 30 days in case it is of the opinion
that there has been an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. In case a person fails to comply with the directions
of the Commission and Director General (as appointed under Section 16(1) of the Competition Act) he shall be punishable with
a fine which may exceed to ₹0.10 million for each day during such failure subject to maximum of ₹10.00 million, as the
Commission may determine. The Competition Act Amendment introduces significant changes to the Competition Act in India.
It introduces a deal value threshold of ₹20,000.00 million for reporting merger and acquisition transactions to the Commission.
The time limit for Commission’s assessment of mergers and acquisitions is reduced from 210 days to 150 days. The scope of
anti-competitive agreements is broadened by replacing “exclusive supply agreement” with “exclusive dealing agreement” and
now covers the acquiring or the selling side of such agreements. The definition of cartel is expanded to include hubs and spoke
arrangements involving trade associates, consultants, or intermediaries. Additionally, the Competition Act Amendment
provides the Commission the power to appoint a Director General for more effective enforcement, however the same shall
require prior approval of the Central Government.
Other Indian laws
In addition to the above, we are also governed by the provisions of the Companies Act and rules framed thereunder, fire-safety
related laws and rules framed thereunder, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the Indian Contract Act, 1872, Sale of
Goods Act, 1930, Foreign Exchange and Management Act, 1999, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Act, 2002 and other
applicable laws and regulation imposed by the Central Government and State Governments and other authorities for our day
to day business.

fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset ora liabilityis measured using theassumptions that market participantswould usewhen pricingthe assetor liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest.

2.2 Summary of material accounting policies
The following are the material accounting policies applied by the Company in preparing its financial statements:
a. Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with customer. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue
arrangementsbecauseittypicallycontrolsthegoodsorservicesbeforetransferringthemtothecustomer.AmountsdisclosedasrevenuearenetofGoodsandServiceTax
(GST).
Sale of goods
Revenuefromsaleofgoodsisrecognisedatthepointintimewhentherelatedperformanceobligationissatisfiedwhichisgenerallyondeliveryofthegoods.Thenormal
credit term is 45 to 60 days upon delivery.

financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Supplyoftoolingsisconsideredasaseparateperformanceobligation.Theperformanceobligationissatisfiedonbillingafterapprovaloftheproduct(s)bythecustomer.The
revenue is recognised at point in time and at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Variable consideration
Iftheconsiderationinacontractincludesavariableamount(liketurnover discounts),theCompanyestimatestheamountofconsiderationtowhichitwillbeentitledin

estimate of variable consideration for expected future volume rebates/incentives, cash discounts etc. are made on the most likely amount method.
Revenue is disclosed net of such amounts.
Significant financing component
Generally,theCompanyreceivesshort-termadvancesfromitscustomers.UsingthepracticalexpedientinIndAS115RevenuefromContractswithCustomers("IndAS
115"),theCompanydoesnotadjustthepromisedamountofconsiderationfortheeffectsofasignificantfinancingcomponentifitexpects,atcontractinception,thatthe
period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Warranty obligations
TheCompanytypicallyprovideswarrantiesforgeneralrepairsofdefectsaspertermsofthecontractwithcustomers,Theseassurance-typewarrantiesareaccountedforunder
Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets ("Ind AS 37").
Sale of services
Incomefromservicesisrecognisedonthebasisoftime/workcompletedaspercontractwiththecustomers.TheCompanycollectstaxesonservices(whereapplicable)on
behalf of the government and, therefore, they are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
Royalty income is recognised on the basis of number of units manufactured by the ultimate customer to whom products have been offered on royalty per unit basis.
Revenue from job work services are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
Incalculatinginterestincome,theeffectiveinterestrateisappliedtothegrosscarryingamountoftheasset(whentheassetisnotcredit-impaired).However,forfinancial
assetsthathavebecomecredit-impairedsubsequenttoinitialrecognition,interestincomeiscalculatedbyapplyingtheeffectiveinterestratetotheamortisedcostofthe
financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Interest income is included in the Other Income in the statement of Profit and Loss.

Deferred tax
Deferredtaxisrecognisedinrespectoftemporarydifferencesbetweenthecarryingamountsofassetsandliabilitiesforfinancialreportingpurposesandthecorresponding
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that:
- is not a business combination; and
- at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
- taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale.
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the intangible asset
- How the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the intangible asset

A ‘financial asset’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.

Notes:
1) Basic Earnings per equity share (₹) = Net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (after deducting preference dividends and
attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for bonus issue that has changed the
number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
2) Diluted Earnings per equity share (₹) = Net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (after deducting preference dividends and
attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of potential equity shares outstanding during the period/year, adjusted for bonus issue that has
changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
3) Net Worth has been defined as the aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities premium
account and debit or credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred expenditure
and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the restated statement of assets and liabilities, but does not include reserves created out of
revaluation of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation. Further, net worth has been computed as a sum of equity share capital, equity
component of compulsorily convertible preference shares, reserves and surplus as of the last day of relevant period/year minus other comprehensive
expense for the period/year.
4) RoNW (%) is calculated as profit for the period/year divided by Net Worth.
5) Net Asset Value per Equity Share is calculated as Net Worth divided by total of number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of period/year
and Number of Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares outstanding as at the end of period/year. Denominator is adjusted for bonus issue that
has changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
6) EBITDA is calculated as profit for the period/year plus finance costs, depreciation and amortization expense plus total tax expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section includes certain Non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance (together, “Non-GAAP Measures” and each a “Non-GAAP Measure”). These Non-GAAP Measures
are not required by or presented in accordance with Ind AS.
Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should
not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other
measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows
generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these Non-GAAP
Measures are not standardized terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not
be possible. Other companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure. Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with
applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as
they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

OVERVIEW
For details in relation to an overview of our business, see “Our Business” on page 244.
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
Sustained, robust profitable revenue growth
Our sustained, robust revenue growth is a key driver of our profitability and capital efficiency. Revenue from operations
increased to ₹6,583.63 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹4,230.28 million in Fiscal 2023, at a CAGR of 24.75%, and was
₹2,173.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This strong topline expansion has supported material
improvements in margins and returns; with our profit for the year increasing from ₹ 85.73 million during Fiscal 2023 to ₹
470.45 million during Fiscal 2025 and consequent increase in our profit for the year margin (%) which increased from 2.03%
in Fiscal 2023 to 7.15% in Fiscal 2025. Our profit for the period (%) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was ₹ 170.69
million while our profit for the period margin was 7.85% for the same period. These profitability gains have been a result of
our operating leverage.
Margin expansion and cash flow generation through cost efficiency and strong market position
Our ability to develop and integrate proprietary technology and maintain full control across design, engineering, and
manufacturing has enabled us to consistently deliver products with good margins. Our differentiated, first-to-market offerings
allow us to sustain prices while driving widespread adoption, resulting in revenue growth of 24.07% to ₹6,583.63 million in
Fiscal 2025 compared to ₹ 5,306.53 million for Fiscal 2024. Importantly, our disciplined control on cost of goods sold
(“COGS”) has significantly enhanced profitability, in particular, during Fiscal 2025. COGS as a percentage of total income
declined from 67.74% in Fiscal 2024 to 61.98% in Fiscal 2025, inherently meaning that less of each rupee earned is being spent
on direct production costs. This improvement reflects effective procurement strategies, scale-driven efficiencies from higher
sales volumes, and strong synergy across our product lines. The expanding margin is also evident in our EBITDA Margin (%),
which improved to 19.00% in Fiscal 2025, from 15.66% in Fiscal 2024 and 12.82% in Fiscal 2023, respectively. Consistently
strong EBITDA generation has contributed to robust operating cash flows enabling continued investment in research and
innovation, while also providing greater financial flexibility to pursue new growth opportunities. Collectively, these results
365highlight our commitment to sustainable, profitable growth and reinforce confidence in our focus on developing fundamental
technologies.
Capital efficiency and high returns
Our approach centres on disciplined investment, and seamless operational integration. This strategy consistently delivers high
returns on capital. Despite robust revenue growth and an expanding business footprint, we have maintained a comparatively
low level of capital employed, underscoring our efficiency in asset deployment.
As of March 31, 2025, our RoCE (%) stood at 33.79%, significantly increasing from 28.87% at March 31, 2024. This
improvement reflects our ability to deliver differentiated, fundamental technology solutions that support strong pricing, enable
scalable operations, and promote broad adoption driving sustained growth and superior margin expansion. High RoCE (%)
underscores our disciplined approach to deploying capital efficiently and maximising returns on investments. Our consistent
capital productivity demonstrates prudent resource management and a strong capacity to sustain long-term growth across
market cycles.
Capital efficiency is fundamentally defined by achieving high earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”) on a low level of
invested capital. The primary enabler of both has been our sustained focus on developing and scaling products built on difficult-
to-replicate, fundamental technologies. These proprietary platforms enable strong pricing powers to support above-market
EBITDA margins and greatly enhance capital productivity. When successful, fundamental technology can yield outsized
returns thanks to widespread adoption and lower direct competition, making our results not just a matter of operational
discipline but also of distinct technological differentiation.
Our operational discipline, combined with differentiated technology and scalable platforms, continues to deliver sustained high
returns for shareholders and robust capital efficiency across the business.
Balance sheet strength and disciplined leverage
A key factor supporting our stability and growth is our conservative approach to balance sheet management. We have
consciously kept long-term debt at modest levels, with our Debt – Equity Ratio improving to 0.21 as of March 31, 2025
compared to 1.37 as of March 31, 2024 and 1.16 as of March 31, 2023. Our Debt – Equity Ratio as of June 30, 2025 was 0.18.
This low level of leverage highlights financial resilience, allowing us to withstand periods of supply chain disruption and invest
steadily in technology and capacity expansion. Our strong cash flow position, together with disciplined capital allocation,
ensures ample funding for strategic initiatives while safeguarding against risk, thereby enhancing our reputation as a reliable
partner to original equipment manufacturers and facilitating further expansion into new markets.
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following are the material accounting policies applied by our Company for preparing our financial statements:
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company has generally concluded
that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them
to the customer. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of Goods and Service Tax (GST).
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the related performance obligation is satisfied, which is
generally on delivery of the goods. The normal credit term is 45 to 60 days upon delivery.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a
portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (for example, warranties). In determining the transaction price for the sale
of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-
cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer, if any.
Supply of toolings is considered as a separate performance obligation. This obligation is satisfied on billing after approval of
the product(s) by the customer. The revenue is recognised at point in time and at an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Variable consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount (such as turnover discounts), the Company estimates the amount
of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration
is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently
366resolved. The estimate of variable consideration for expected future volume rebates/incentives, cash discounts and so on is
made on the most likely amount method. Revenue is disclosed net of such amounts.
Significant financing component
Generally, the Company receives short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in Ind AS 115 Revenue
from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a
significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good
or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Warranty obligations
The Company typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects as per terms of the contract with customers. These
assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Sale of services
Income from services is recognised on the basis of time/work completed as per contract with the customers. The Company
collects taxes on services (where applicable) on behalf of the government and, therefore, they are not economic benefits flowing
to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
Royalty income is recognised on the basis of number of units manufactured by the ultimate customer to whom products have
been offered on royalty per unit basis.
Revenue from job work services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected
life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is
not credit-impaired). However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest
income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer
credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Interest income is included in Other Income in the statement of Profit and Loss.
Contract balances
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or
services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e. transfers control of
the related goods or services to the customer).
Refund liabilities
A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the customer and is
measured at the amount the Company ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer, including volume rebates and
discounts. The Company updates its estimates of refund liabilities at the end of each reporting period.
Taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported
in the statement of profit and loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years
and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.
367The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside the statement of
profit and loss (in equity or other comprehensive income respectively). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in FVOCI (fair value through other comprehensive income) or directly in equity.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulations are subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain
tax treatment. The Company reflects the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either the most likely
method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in
respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
• Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that:
o is not a business combination; and
o at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and (ii) does not give
rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
• Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are
determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is
insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary
differences, are considered, based on the business plans of the Company. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are
reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company
expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying
amount of investment property is presumed to be recovered through sale.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they
intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation of property, plant and equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for
long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met and directly attributable to bringing the asset to its location
and condition necessary for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately
based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying
amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance
costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective
asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met and if the amount is material.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all property, plant, and equipment
recognised at 1 April 2023, measured as per previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property,
plant and equipment.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of property, plant, and equipment are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is
derecognised. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of tangible asset is added to its book value only if it increases the
future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing
property, plant and equipment, including routine repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged
to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
368The Company identifies and determines the cost of each component/part of the asset separately, if the component/part of the
asset has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the
remaining asset.
Property, plant and equipment under construction or installation as at balance sheet date is shown as capital work in progress
and is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any. Further, the related advances are shown under non-current
assets.
Depreciation on property, plant, and equipment is calculated on a written down value method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets as determined by Schedule II/Independent chartered engineer. Based on the report of an independent valuer and
internal assessment, certain useful lives as below are believed to best represent the period over which the assets are expected
to be used. Hence, the useful life for these assets are different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II
of The Companies Act 2013.
Property, plant and equipment Life as per Schedule II Management Estimate
Computers 3–6 years 3 years
Plant and equipment 15–50 years 15 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years 10 years
Vehicles 8–10 years 8 years
Office equipment 5 years 5 years
Jigs and fixtures 5 years 3 years
Buildings 15–50 years 30 years
Electrical installation 10 years 10 years
The residual values, useful lives, and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. The Company reviews the estimated residual values and expected useful
lives of assets at least annually. In particular, the Company considers the impact of health, safety, and environmental legislation
in its assessment of expected useful lives and estimated residual values.
Pro-rated depreciation is provided on all assets purchased or sold during the year.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary period of lease, on a straight-line basis.
An item of property, plant, and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement
of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets and amortization of intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Research costs are charged to the
statement of profit and loss in the year in which they are incurred. The amortization period and the amortization method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful
life of the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is
derecognised.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all intangible assets recognised at
April 1, 2023, measured as per previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
Computer software
Software is amortised over a period of five years.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when
the Company can demonstrate:
• The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale.
369• Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the intangible asset.
• How the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits.
• The availability of resources to complete the intangible asset.
• The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. During the period
of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. Capitalised development costs are amortised over the underlying
project life, which is generally five years.
Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is or contains a lease under Ind AS 116 Leases. That is, if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The
Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of the lease of buildings or premises.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments, and right-of-use (ROU) assets representing
the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (the date when the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a
purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject
to impairment.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments)
less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to
be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company
exercising the option to terminate.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of
lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments
(for example, changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments)
or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. When the lease liability is re-measured in this way,
a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (those
leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It
also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low
value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Inventories
Inventories, which comprise raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods, are carried at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition.
In determining the cost, the first-in, first-out method is used. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress,
cost includes fixed production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
370The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products. Raw
materials and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases
where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable
value.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed,
for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement
is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as a finance cost. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not
recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability
also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the
possibility of an outflow embodying economic benefits is remote.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, and commitments are reviewed by management at each balance sheet date.
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plan
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation other than
the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as
an expense when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before
the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after
deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received
before the balance sheet date, the excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example,
a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Defined benefit plan
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation
in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit
method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value
of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan
(‘the asset ceiling’). To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum
funding requirements.
Gratuity
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on the projected unit
credit method at the end of each financial year. Remeasurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the effect of the
asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the
balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The Company does not have any
planned assets.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date
that the Company recognises related restructuring costs.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the
following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
371• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine
settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income.
Compensated absences
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit.
The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the
unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company recognises the expected cost of short-term
employee benefit as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. The Company treats accumulated leave expected
to be carried forward beyond twelve months as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term
compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting
date. Actuarial gains or losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The obligations
are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet since the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is
determined using the projected unit credit method.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and expensed as the related service is provided. A liability
is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus if the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Share-based payment
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby
employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate
valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserves in equity, over the period in
which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised
for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has
expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit
in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning
and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards,
but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other
conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions.
Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to immediate expensing of an award unless there
are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions
have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective
of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are
satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the
unmodified award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of
modification, is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is
otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element
of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per
share.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.
372Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI), and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade
receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient,
the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through
profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the
Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115. Refer to the
accounting policies in section d. Revenue from contracts with customers.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate
cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the
financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the
objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair
value through FVOCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and
selling.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention
in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase
or sell the asset.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
1. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
2. Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance
income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. The Company’s financial
assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and loan to an associate and loan to a director included under other non-
current financial assets.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative
financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the
requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an
accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when: (i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired, or (ii) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the
Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement,
it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise
the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Company has retained.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all financial assets not held at fair value through
profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all
the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The
373expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to
the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next twelve
months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the
timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs
at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience,
adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company
in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held), or the financial asset is more than
ninety days past due.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is
classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative financial instrument entered into by the Company
that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments or it is
designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised
in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade payables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities. These
are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial
date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains or
losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in other comprehensive income. These gains or losses are not
subsequently transferred to profit or loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All
other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated
any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or
loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate. The amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the contractual obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing
liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and
the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and
loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets
and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
374For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined
above, as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
period.
Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends
relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issues, bonus element in a rights issue, share splits, and reverse share
splits (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An
asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its
value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less
cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses
may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable
amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the
carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised
in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a
revaluation increase.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The
joint managing director of the Company takes decisions in respect of allocation of resources and assessment of performance
and hence, is considered to be the CODM of the Company.
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received
and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them
with the costs that they are intended to compensate and are presented within other income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in current and non-current liabilities
as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a systematic basis over the expected lives of the related assets, presented
within other income.
Export benefits in the nature of duty drawback are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of exports based
on eligibility or expected eligibility, duly considering the entitlements as per policy, industry-specific developments,
375interpretations arising out of judicial or regulatory proceedings where applicable, management assessment, and when there is
no uncertainty in receiving the same.
Export benefits in the nature of Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) under Foreign Trade Policy are recognised
in the statement of profit and loss when there is no uncertainty in receiving or utilising the same, taking into consideration the
prevailing regulations.
There are no unfulfilled conditions attached to the government grant.
Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise compulsory convertible preference shares denominated in
Indian rupees that convert into a fixed number of equity shares after twenty years from the date of allotment or upon the
occurrence of a qualified initial public offering or strategic sale.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that
does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between the fair value
of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable
transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at fair value through
profit or loss. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequently.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is
reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes in our accounting policies as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and as of and for
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance
such as EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%), Profit for the period/year margin(%), Tangible net worth, Total Debt, Capital
Employed, RoCE(%), RoE (%), Debt-Equity Ratio, Net worth, RoNW (%) and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Equity Share
(collectively, “Non-GAAP Measures”), have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose
such Non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and
because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance
of the industry in which we operate, many of which provide such Non-GAAP financial measures and other industry related
statistical and operational information. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility
as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for
an analysis of our audited financial statements as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Also see “Risk Factors - We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain non-generally accepted accounting
principle financial measures and certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These
non-GAAP measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry
in which we operate and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar
nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.” on page 70.

Total comprehensive income for the year 465.50 7.03 55.71 1.04
Total income
Total income increased by 23.63% to ₹ 6,625.36 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 5,358.96 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily due
to an increase in revenue from operations.
Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations increased by 24.07% to ₹ 6,583.63 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 5,306.53 million in Fiscal 2024,
driven by improved sales performance across both the mobility and industrial segments.
The main components of their respective performance are as follows:
• Sale of products increased by 22.95%, to ₹ 6,430.59 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 5,230.25 million in Fiscal 2024.
This growth was attributable mainly to an increase in sales volumes of control-intensive ECUs sold by 27.08%, to
2.44 million units in Fiscal 2025 from 1.92 million units in Fiscal 2024.
382• Sale of services increased by 112.80%, to ₹ 136.00 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 63.91 million in Fiscal 2024, mainly
driven by one-time application and non-recurring engineering fees collected from customers for new products under
development.
Other operating revenue increased by 37.75% to ₹ 17.04 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 12.37 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily
on account of an increase in scrap sales and export incentives and miscellaneous income which was driven by an increase in
sales made outside India to ₹ 454.36 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 303.11 million in Fiscal 2024.
Other income
Other income decreased by 20.41% to ₹ 41.73 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 52.43 million in Fiscal 2024 mainly due to lower
interest income on bank deposits and government grants.
Cost of materials consumed
Cost of materials consumed increased by 13.04% to ₹ 4,146.09 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 3,667.74 million in Fiscal 2024,
correlating with the rise in sales volume and overall scale of operations. Inventory at the end of the period/year increased to
₹ 1,137.90 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 1,001.40 million in Fiscal 2024, as a result of higher procurement to support continued
expansion.
Changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress
The expense for changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress was ₹ (39.56) million in Fiscal 2025, marginally
higher than ₹ (37.59) million reported in Fiscal 2024. This trend was driven by ongoing production schedules and extended
scales of operation. This continued inventory build supports future delivery requirements.
Employee benefits expense
Employee benefits expense increased by 43.64%, to ₹ 614.29 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 427.65 million in Fiscal 2024. The
main drivers were an increase in salaries, wages and bonus which increased by 39.09% to ₹ 703.69 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹ 505.94 million in Fiscal 2024, reflecting an increase in headcount from 364 to 458 and salary increase for eligible employees.
Gratuity expense increased by 18.87% to ₹ 12.79 million, and the employer contribution to the provident fund increased by
22.50% to ₹ 16.28 million, both tied to the higher employee base and assumptions for future increments. Staff welfare expenses
also increased by 11.64% to ₹ 61.31 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 54.92 million in Fiscal 2024.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in equity-settled share-based payments, which decreased by 35.89% to
₹ 10.36 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 16.16 million in Fiscal 2024, owing to vesting schedules and no new grants during Fiscal
2025; and employee benefits expense capitalised during the year, which increased by 10.88% to ₹ 193.05 million in Fiscal 2025
from ₹ 174.10 million in Fiscal 2024.
Finance costs
Finance costs decreased by 68.71% to ₹ 120.30 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 384.48 million in Fiscal 2024. The reduction was
driven primarily by the absence of interest expense on compulsory convertible preference shares in Fiscal 2025, compared with
₹ 255.00 million in Fiscal 2024, as a result of conversion into equity in May 2024. Interest expense on borrowings declined by
5.79% to ₹ 107.79 million from ₹ 114.41 million, due to repayment of certain term loans and lower working capital utilization,
while interest expense on lease liabilities decreased by 21.70% to ₹ 14.72 million as lease liabilities reduced further during the
year.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 26.42% to ₹ 453.39 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 358.63 million in Fiscal
2024, mainly as a result of a 31.38% increase in depreciation of property, plant and equipment, which amounted to
₹ 241.39 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to ₹ 183.73 million during Fiscal 2024, reflecting substantial additions to property,
plant and equipment of ₹ 564.99 million. Depreciation of right-of-use assets increased modestly by 2.70% to ₹ 61.19 million,
and amortization of intangible assets rose by 18.90% to ₹ 204.89 million, supported by additions worth ₹ 428.68 million in
Fiscal 2025.
Other expenses
Other expenses increased by 39.14% to ₹ 653.86 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 469.92 million in Fiscal 2024. The primary
drivers were higher labour charges - direct, which increased by 20.13% to ₹ 205.31 million, reflecting greater production
activity and increased headcount, as well as elevated consumption of stores and spares, which increased by 29.20% to
₹ 60.36 million. Power and fuel expenses also increased by 25.83% to ₹ 57.63 million, in line with expanded manufacturing
operations. In addition, warranty expenses rose significantly to ₹ 13.37 million, largely due to the introduction of new product
variants and increased provision estimates. These factors collectively reflect our Company’s continued growth in scale and
operational complexity.
Profit before tax
383Profit before tax increased significantly to ₹ 676.99 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 88.13 million in Fiscal 2024, reflecting a
stronger increase in revenue relative to total expenses. While revenue from operations grew by 24.07% between Fiscals 2024
and 2025, total expenses grew by only 12.85%, resulting in a substantial improvement in profitability.
Tax expense
Total tax expense increased to ₹ 206.54 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 29.35 million in Fiscal 2024, reflecting higher pre-tax
profits and a decrease in deferred tax asset utilization.
Profit for the year
Profit for the year increased significantly to ₹ 470.45 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹ 58.78 million in Fiscal 2024, led by the
combined effect of stronger operating performance and substantially lower finance costs.

Total comprehensive income for the year 55.71 1.04 83.80 1.95
Total income
Total income increased by 24.67% to ₹ 5,358.96 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 4,298.66 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily due
to an increase in the revenue from operations.
Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations grew by 25.44% to ₹ 5,306.53 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 4,230.28 million in Fiscal 2023, due to
improved sales performance from mobility segment which was partially offset by a decrease in the industrial segment revenue.
The main components of their respective performance are as follows:
• Sale of products increased by 26.15%, to ₹ 5,230.25 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 4,145.90 million in Fiscal 2023.
This growth was largely driven by higher sales volumes of our control-intensive ECUs, which increased by 34.27%
to 1.92 million units in Fiscal 2024 from 1.43 million units in Fiscal 2023.
384• Sale of services declined by 15.56%, to ₹ 63.91 million during Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 75.69 million during Fiscal 2023,
mainly on account of reduction in non-recurring engineering charges billed to customers as application fees.
Other operating revenue increased by 42.35% to ₹ 12.37 million from ₹ 8.69 million, primarily on account of increase in sales
and export incentives and miscellaneous income.
Other income
Other income decreased by 23.33% to ₹ 52.43 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 68.38 million in Fiscal 2023. The decrease was
primarily on account of a decrease in interest income on bank deposits and government grants due to receipt / sanction of grants
for various prior years receivable in Fiscal 2024.
Cost of materials consumed
Cost of materials consumed increased by 20.67% to ₹ 3,667.74 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 3,039.60 million in Fiscal 2023.
This increase correlates with the increase in sales volume and scale of operations.
Inventory at the end of the period/year increased to ₹ 1,001.40 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 764.42 million in Fiscal 2023 to
support increased scale of operation.
Changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress
The expense for changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress was ₹ (37.59) million in Fiscal 2024, higher
than ₹ (6.31) million reported in Fiscal 2023. This was driven by production and deliveries aligned to realistic schedules and
an expanded scale of operations. This is a temporary rise, as finished goods produced during the last few days of Fiscal 2023
were delivered in the early part of Fiscal 2024.
Employee benefits expense
Employee benefits expense increased by 31.63%, increasing to ₹ 427.65 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 324.89 million in Fiscal
2023. This was mainly due to increases across key categories: salaries, wages and bonus increased by 26.47% to
₹505.94 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 400.06 million in Fiscal 2023, reflecting a rise in headcount from 297 to 364 and higher
average salaries. Gratuity expense increased by 38.67% to ₹ 10.76 million from ₹ 7.76 million due to the same factors, while
the employer contribution to the provident fund climbed by 33.97% to ₹ 13.29 million from ₹ 9.92 million. Staff welfare
expenses also increased sharply by 57.02% to ₹ 54.92 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 34.98 million in Fiscal 2023. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in equity-settled share-based payments, which decreased by 37.08% to
₹16.16 million during Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 25.68 million during Fiscal 2023, and an increase in employee benefits expense -
capitalised during the year, which increased by 12.20% to ₹174.10 million during Fiscal 2024 from ₹155.17 million during
Fiscal 2023.
Finance costs
Finance costs increased to ₹ 384.48 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 160.44 million in Fiscal 2023, driven primarily by a
significant jump in interest expense on compulsory convertible preference shares (“CCPS”), which increased to
₹ 255.00 million from ₹ 51.00 million due to a higher fair value of the liability component. Interest expense on borrowings
increased by 24.41% to ₹ 114.41 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 91.96 million in Fiscal 2023, reflecting new term loans and
increased utilisation of working capital facilities, while interest expense on lease liabilities declined by 16.92% to
₹ 18.80 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 22.63 million in Fiscal 2023 because of reduced lease liabilities. Overall, the surge in
CCPS-related interest was the main contributor to the sharp increase in total finance costs for the period.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 18.79% increasing to ₹ 358.63 million in Fiscal 2024 from
₹ 301.89 million in Fiscal 2023. This growth was mainly due to a 25.00% increase in depreciation of property, plant and
equipment, which increased to ₹ 183.73 million during Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 146.98 million during Fiscal 2023, following
additions to property, plant and equipment worth ₹ 400.98 million during the year. Amortization of intangible assets also
increased by 12.35%, to ₹ 172.32 million during Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 153.38 million during Fiscal 2023, reflecting additions of
new intangible assets valued at ₹ 521.29 million. Depreciation of right-of-use assets increased by 4.97%, to ₹ 59.58 million
during Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 56.76 million during Fiscal 2023. Overall, the rise was mainly driven by significant investment in
both tangible and intangible assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses increased by 18.05% which increased to ₹ 469.92 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 398.08 million in Fiscal 2023.
The significant contributors to this increase were labour charges - direct, which increased by 25.39% to ₹ 170.90 million in
Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 136.29 million in Fiscal 2023, largely due to higher production volumes and statutory wage increases; and
labour charges – non-production, which increased by 20.68% to ₹ 49.90 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 41.35 million in Fiscal
2023 as operational activities expanded. Power and fuel expenses increased by 23.04% to ₹ 45.80 million in Fiscal 2024 from
₹ 37.22 million in Fiscal 2023, reflecting greater production and energy use.
385Miscellaneous expenses increased by 48.18% to ₹ 73.17 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 49.38 million in Fiscal 2023 driven
primarily by increased annual maintenance contract and licence renewal costs. Overall, the growth in other expenses reflects
increased production activity, wider operational scope, and necessary asset maintenance.
Profit before tax
Profit before tax increased modestly to ₹ 88.13 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 80.07 million in Fiscal 2023 due to higher revenue,
partly offset by the significant increase in finance costs. While revenue from operations increased by 25.44% between Fiscals
2023 and 2024, total expenses increased by 24.94%. This near-proportional increase resulted in limited improvement in
profitability.
Tax expense
Total tax expense increased to an expense of ₹ 29.35 million in Fiscal 2024 from a credit of ₹ (5.66) million in Fiscal 2023.
Profit for the year
Profit for the year decreased to ₹ 58.78 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹ 85.73 million in Fiscal 2023, reflecting the impact of
significantly higher finance costs and tax expense, which offset the gains from improved operating performance.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically funded our liquidity and capital requirements primarily through funds generated from operations,
shareholder equity, and indebtedness, including term loans and short-term loans from banks. We intend to continue to fund our
liquidity and capital requirements through funds generated from operations, and indebtedness. We consider our working capital
to be sufficient for our present requirements.
Our loan agreements contain a number of covenants including financial covenants. For details, see “Financial Indebtedness”
on page 392 and “Risk Factors – We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants
in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.” on
page 52.

cash generated of ₹ 128.63 million in Fiscal 2025, net cash outflow of ₹ 13.99 million in Fiscal 2024, and net cash outflow of
₹ 244.77 million in Fiscal 2023. The net inflow in Fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by proceeds from the issue of share capital
of ₹ 767.73 million. We repaid costly long-term borrowings of ₹ 305.47 million and short-term borrowings of ₹ 289.90 million,
out of these proceeds.

Shares Allotted, if any, shall vest to the exclusion of all other persons, unless the nomination is modified or cancelled in the
prescribed manner. A person, being a nominee, entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of the death of the original holder(s),
shall be entitled to the same advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the
Equity Share(s). Where the nominee is a minor, the holder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any
person to become entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of his or her death during the minority. A nomination shall stand
rescinded upon a sale/transfer/alienation of Equity Share(s) by the person nominating. A nomination may be cancelled or
modified by nominating any other person in place of the present nominee, by the holder of the Equity Shares who made the
nomination, by giving a notice of such cancellation or variation to our Company. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh
nomination in the manner prescribed. Fresh nomination can be made only on the prescribed form available on request at our

Any person who becomes a nominee by virtue of the provisions of Section 72 of the Companies Act, 2013 shall upon the
production of such evidence as may be required by our Board, elect either:

transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with within a period of 90 days, the Board may thereafter withhold
payment of all dividends, interests, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Equity Shares, until the requirements of
the notice have been complied with.

446RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA.
While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in
different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Foreign
investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian companies, either through the automatic route or the
approval route, depending upon the sector in which foreign investment is sought to be made. The Government of India makes
policy announcements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The regulatory framework, over a period of time, thus,
consists of acts, regulations, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The DPIIT (formerly
Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion) issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular dated October 15, 2020, with effect
from October 15, 2020 (the “FDI Policy”), which consolidates and supersedes all previous press note, press releases and
clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020.
The FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular. Pursuant to the FDI Policy, FDI in our Company is
