Back-to-back commodity price increases and rupee depreciation have created a reimbursement lag with customers (6-month or quarterly pass-through), causing 50-75bps QoQ margin impact. Aluminum, copper, PP (plastic), and steel are the key four commodities.
An analyst directly challenged management on the 12% margin target, noting that despite 3 years of consistent 50-60bps annual improvements, Q3 margins are back below 9.5% ex-other income, questioning whether the target is now pushed by 3-4 years. Management acknowledged external factors but maintained hope.
While management remains bullish on EV/hybrid, the industry is still at 3-4% penetration. The ₹175 crore e-compressor capex has a 2-year lead time to SOP, and customer model timelines (2027-2029) introduce execution risk.
Management explicitly flagged geopolitical tensions that may impact Indian automotive supply chains through shipping route disruptions, cost pressures, and delivery timeline uncertainties, requiring risk mitigation measures.
