• Production capacity target: StoveKraft is doubling its induction cooktop manufacturing capacity from 200,000 pieces per month to 400,000 pieces per month within the current month.
• Component supply constraints: Approximately 50% of inputs are imported, including electronic parts and crystalline glass, with zero current domestic capability to produce crystalline glass and a 4-to-6-month timeline required to establish local facilities.
• Input cost pressures: Sourcing costs have risen due to a 15–20% depreciation of the rupee against the Chinese yuan, a 100% price increase in global crystalline glass, and a 60–70% rise in domestic plastic prices alongside rising aluminum costs.
• Margin protection strategy: Overall input cost increases have led to a 15–20% rise at the output level, which the company plans to pass on to consumers to maintain healthy margins.
