2. OPERATIONS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

The global automotive components manufacturing industry is poised for continued growth, driven by increasing demand for high-quality, durable parts, particularly in iron casting and other foundry-based processes. As the automotive, railway, and defense sectors expand their infrastructure and modernization efforts, the need for precision-engineered castings has never been greater. Cast components, especially those manufactured through advanced techniques such as Lost Foam Casting, are essential in delivering the strength, durability, and performance required by these industries. Globally, manufacturers are focusing on improving production efficiency and component quality to meet the rising demand for complex, high-performance parts that meet stringent industry standards.

In India, the manufacturing sector is undergoing a significant transformation, supported by government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme. This scheme has unlocked new opportunities in key sectors such as automotive, railways, and defense, where there is an increasing demand for high-quality, cost-effective components. With the Indian automotive industry set to nearly triple vehicle sales by 2026, the need for reliable automotive parts—many of which rely on iron casting and other foundry-based processes—will surge. Similarly, the railway modernization and defense sector growth create significant demand for specialized castings used in critical infrastructure projects and high-performance military applications.

For our company, which specializes in iron casting and Lost Foam Casting, the future holds tremendous promise. Our investment in advanced casting technologies such as Lost Foam Casting positions us at the forefront of innovation in the manufacturing of high-precision components. This technology enhances our ability to produce complex parts with superior dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and reduced machining requirements, which are essential for meeting the high standards demanded by the automotive, railway, and defense sectors.

As part of our long-term sustainability strategy, the company has also invested in solar power generation for captive use, reinforcing our commitment to clean energy and cost optimization. This initiative not only supports our environmental goals but also enhances our energy selfreliance and operational stability. We see strong potential in further expanding this capability in the future, aligning with broader industry trends toward greener, more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, our strategic priorities include expanding our global market presence by increasing exports of high-quality cast components. By focusing on testing castings for international markets, we aim to diversify our customer base and secure long-term contracts with international OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Tier-1 suppliers. Our continuous investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing processes ensures that we remain competitive by improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and maintaining the highest product quality standards.

Additionally, the modernization of Indias railways and the continued growth of the defense sector present significant opportunities for the company to increase its participation in infrastructure and defense projects. Our expertise in manufacturing high-performance,

precision castings positions us as a trusted partner for these critical sectors, which require components that meet rigorous performance and durability standards.

In conclusion, as we look towards 2026 and beyond, our company is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for high-quality, precision-cast components in the automotive, railway, and defense sectors. Through our continued focus on advanced casting technologies, market expansion, and operational excellence, we are confident in our ability to drive long-term growth and value for our stakeholders.
