Know before investing

Strengths

They are the largest manufacturer of brake-shoe and advanced braking (AB) systems for two-wheelers in India with a market share of approximately 50% in Fiscal 2023 in terms of production volume.
They identified the EV sector as an opportunity and diversified into this sector in FY 2021 to complement their existing suite of systems and solutions for the ICE sector.
They have long-standing relationships with major multinational companies like Stanley Black & Decker, Polaris, and MTD Products. In India, their customers include the top six two-wheeler OEMs.

Risks

Their revenue from the two-wheeler category constituted over 90% of their total revenue in FY 2023. This may be too much of a concentration in their source of revenue.
Their top 3 customers contribute more than 50% of their revenue from operations, including their largest customer which contributes approximately 30% of their revenue from operations. Any loss of a top customer may seriously affect their revenues.
They depend on third-party suppliers for raw materials and do not have firm or exclusive arrangements with any of their suppliers. This opens their supply chain to disruption.
