The company recorded a total revenue from operations of ₹4,789 crores (€494 million), reflecting a 10.9% year-on-year increase, driven by strong demand in the off-highway and passenger vehicle segments.

Segment-wise Performance

The Automotive Products Segment saw a 14.3% increase in overall product sales, led by a 13.7% rise in Power Solutions, primarily due to continued demand in the off-highway segment and moderate growth in passenger cars.

The Mobility Aftermarket Division grew by 5.2%, fueled by rising market demand for gasoline systems, comfort electronics, and wiper solutions.

The Beyond Mobility Business experienced a 9.3% decline in net sales, following the strategic divestment of part of its Building Technologies portfolio.

Leadership Statement
