BUSINESS REVIEW
The global economic environment in 2024-25 was shaped by heightened uncertainty, with new US tariff measures, rapid policy shifts, and intensifying geopolitical tensions weighing on trade and growth. Global headline inflation is expected to moderate more slowly than earlier projected, easing to 4.3% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026. Equity market volatility, elevated asset valuations, and sustained high corporate debt levels further cloud the financial outlook, posing challenges for central banks seeking to contain inflation without compromising financial stability.
India, however, maintained robust growth momentum, with GDP expanding by 6.5% in 2024-25, supported by resilient domestic demand, expanding investments, and sound macroeconomic management. The automotive industry recorded a 7.3% rise in domestic sales and a 14.6% increase in exports, while EV sales crossed 2 Mn units, reflecting the sectors accelerating shift towards sustainable mobility.
Against this backdrop, the Company remained focused on operational continuity, manufacturing excellence, and supply chain optimisation, underpinned by stringent safety measures for employees. It leveraged its diversified product portfolio, spanning gaskets and heat shields, forgings, chassis systems, anti-vibration products, and hoses, to capture growth opportunities across domestic and export markets.
During the year, Talbros secured P1,475 Crores in new orders, with approximately 40-45% already under execution and another ~30% scheduled to commence in 2025-26. This included multiple EV-specific orders worth ~?280 Crores and export orders worth ~?560 Crores, strengthening its revenue visibility and market diversification. Capacity enhancements, including the operationalisation of the Pune facility and the upcoming Marelli JV chassis systems plant, are poised to support these new programmes, many of which cater to premium and EV platforms.
The Company also advanced its localisation and technology investments, particularly in EV components and next- generation heat shields for battery and noise insulation. Continued R&D focus, coupled with strategic joint ventures, enables Talbros to deliver high-value, future-ready products aligned with evolving mobility trends.
Looking ahead, the Companys priorities include scaling exports to over 35% of revenue, capitalising on policy tailwinds from schemes like PLI and FAME-II, and strengthening its presence in high-growth segments such as EVs, premium chassis systems, and heavier forged components. Sustainability will remain integral, with ongoing initiatives in localisation, energy efficiency, and process optimisation aimed at enhancing competitiveness while supporting environmental goals.

NEW INITIATIVES & FUTURE OUTLOOK
Your Company is a diversified auto components manufacturer with a strong presence across two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and agricultural equipment. Our business spans gaskets and heat shields, forgings, suspension systems, anti-vibration products, and hoses, supported by strategic joint ventures with global automotive leaders in suspension and rubber components.
In gaskets, we retain market leadership with a share exceeding 50%, which is approximately three times that of our nearest competitor. We continue to hold a dominant position in the two-wheeler, agricultural and off-loader, and HCV & LCV segments.
During the year, the Company secured multiple long-term orders from both domestic and international customers across all business divisions, product lines, and joint ventures. These orders, spread over the next five years, encompass gaskets, heat shields, forgings, and chassis components. They will strengthen our share of business with existing customers, expand our reach to new OEMs, and enhance our footprint across global markets.
The Company has also secured significant new orders for global head gaskets and integrated wire harness assemblies from European customers. These programmes are expected to generate healthy revenues over the next two years, further diversifying our export portfolio.
To support the timely execution of these new programs, the recently commissioned Pune facility will be fully operational in Q2 FY26, while the upcoming Marelli JV chassis systems plant became operational in April 2025. Both facilities are equipped with advanced manufacturing technologies and will cater to premium and EV platforms, enhancing capacity, quality, and responsiveness.
Looking ahead, the Companys strategic priorities include scaling exports to over 35% of revenue, increasing penetration in high-growth segments such as EVs, premium chassis systems, and heavier forged components, and furthering localisation and technology investments to strengthen cost competitiveness.
Sustainability will remain central to our growth approach, with continued efforts in localisation, energy efficiency, and process optimisation aimed at improving environmental performance while enhancing operational resilience.

CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS
There has been no change in the nature of business of the Company during the year under review.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Indian automotive sector remains a cornerstone of the national economy, contributing approximately 7% to GDP and driving demand across critical ancillary industries such as steel, aluminium, plastics, and oil and gas. It is also a significant generator of employment, innovation, and supply chain sophistication.
In 2024-25, domestic automobile sales grew by 7.3% year- on-year, supported by healthy urban demand, evolving vehicle replacement cycles, and policy-led tailwinds such as the vehicle scrappage programme. Exports recorded a strong rebound, rising by 14.6%, underscoring Indias growing relevance in the global automotive supply chain.
With robust policy support, sustained innovation, and a dynamic consumer base, Indias automotive sector is well-positioned to lead the next phase of industrial and technological growth. Government initiatives such as FAME-II and the Production- Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are accelerating the adoption of electric mobility and catalysing advanced manufacturing at scale, reinforcing the sectors global competitiveness and long-term resilience.
Indias auto component industry continues to expand steadily, driven by strong domestic demand, healthy export momentum, and an increasing focus on localisation. Despite global headwinds, the sectors fundamentals remain sound, with long-term growth supported by economies of scale, premiumisation, and the rising share of high-value components.
Investment in the sector is expected to remain strong, with an estimated 25,000-30,000 Crores projected for 202526. A significant share of this will be channelled into EV- specific component development, reflecting the industrys shift towards future-ready technologies. Localisation in the EV value chain has reached 30-40%, with substantial progress in battery management systems, traction motors, and power electronics. Battery cell manufacturing, however, remains a key white space presenting high-impact opportunities for domestic players.
The OEM segment, which accounts for more than half of the industrys revenue, is forecast to grow by 7-9% in 2024-25 and 8-10% in 2025-26, supported by platform renewals, content enrichment, and rising customer expectations. The replacement market is also expanding, driven by an ageing vehicle population and the increasing adoption of preventive maintenance practices.
Backed by a cost-competitive manufacturing base, a skilled workforce, and supportive policy frameworks, Indias automotive and auto component sectors are poised to play a leading role in shaping the future of global mobility.
