Sharp increases in polymer (+55%), aluminium (+62%), semiconductors (+35%), and freight costs are squeezing margins; full pass-through to OEMs is unlikely.
West Asia crisis, rupee depreciation, and potential rural demand weakness due to fertilizer import curbs could soften automotive demand and earnings.
Management admitted they cannot recover the entire cost increase from OEMs, as vehicle price hikes would hurt end demand; margin impact is uncertain.
P3L margins are expected to soften from 9.24% to ~10% over two years due to investments in a center of excellence and new plant commissioning.
