Management admitted the previously guided operational break-even for the EV passenger and truck segments will not be achieved in FY2026. The lack of FAME III policy support and slower-than-expected volume ramp-up continues to weigh on profitability in what remains a loss-making division.
The e-truck division has near-zero gross margins currently. While management cited indigenization and volume ramp as the levers for margin recovery, the timeline for meaningful improvement remains uncertain amid increasing competition from larger OEMs entering the segment.
An analyst explicitly asked about media reports regarding a family issue within the Murugappa Group and its potential impact on minority shareholders. Management declined to comment, stating family matters are not discussed publicly. This leaves uncertainty unresolved for investors.
While steel prices have increased, management acknowledged that the recovery from customers (pass-through) is yet to happen and will be fully realized only in the next 1-2 quarters. This creates a timing mismatch where input costs have risen but pricing power hasn't been fully exercised, temporarily compressing margins.
