Product & Market Mix ## A. Key Figures * **Revenue Mix:** **77%** Domestic · **23%** Exports * **Order Book:** **₹275 Cr** Total · **40-45%** Export Contribution * **Market Share (Water Shield):** **60-70%** Domestic OEM Market * **Product Unit Economics:** **₹100 to ₹1,000** per vehicle (Water Shield) ## B. Core Categories & Strategy * **OEM-Centric B2B Model:** Operations are strictly focused on direct OEM supply across five core categories, with **injection molding** serving as the primary revenue driver. * **Strategic Market Exclusion:** Management is intentionally avoiding the aftermarket and car renovation segments due to **design-related legal restrictions** and insufficient volume compared to primary OEM channels. * **Portfolio Expansion:** Active exploration of technical tie-ups to enter high-value segments, including **kinematic parts, ambient lighting, and advanced NVH solutions**. ## C. EV & ICE Compatibility * **Engine-Agnostic Portfolio:** Products are compatible across both EV and ICE platforms, providing a natural hedge against powertrain transition risks. * **EV Revenue Trajectory:** Current contribution from electric vehicles remains low due to the nascent state of pure EV manufacturing in India, though existing machinery is fully versatile for EV componentry. ## D. Export vs. Domestic Trends * **Export Momentum:** While domestic sales currently dominate the mix, exports represent a disproportionately high share of the current order book, positioned as a primary future growth lever. * **Demand Drivers:** Recent top-line performance was underpinned by healthy demand from automotive OEMs in the second half of the year. --- # 4.

Key Figures * **Current Order Book:** **₹275 Cr+** 24-month execution timeline * **Target Growth:** **20%** CAGR through FY30 * **Prototype Pipeline:** **₹50 Cr to ₹60 Cr** Projected revenue from approved designs ## B. Execution & Growth Outlook * **Backlog Visibility:** Robust order book provides clear revenue visibility over the next two years, supported by a mix of new clients and established OEMs. * **Medium-Term Acceleration:** Significant scaling anticipated in **FY27 and FY28** as current projects exit the intensive **18 to 24-month** automotive development cycle. * **Strategic Expansion:** Long-term growth targets rely on organic expansion and new product launches utilizing existing manufacturing infrastructure to outperform broader industrial benchmarks. ## C. Customer Strategy & Market Dynamics * **Tier-1 Onboarding:** Active pursuit of major global brands including **VinFast, JSW, Toyota, and Honda**, acknowledging a rigorous **2 to 4-year** lead time for customer acquisition. * **Revenue Correlation:** Business momentum is intrinsically tied to OEM production volumes, as the product lifecycle is dictated by vehicle longevity rather than aftermarket replacement cycles. * **Future Pipeline:** Early-stage prototype approvals from OEMs secure a specialized revenue stream for the post-2027 period. --- # 5. Supply Chain & Operations ## A. Operational Challenges & Inventory * **Geopolitical Buffer:** Elevated inventory levels are being maintained as a strategic hedge against global supply chain disruptions stemming from the **US-Israel-Iran conflict**. * **Labor Headwinds:** Productivity is currently pressured by a combination of **new labor regulations**, industry-wide **manpower shortages**, and inefficiencies within the contractual workforce. ## B.
