The gross margin compression of 2.0 percentage points to 5.8% from 7.8% a year ago suggests significant headwinds from input cost movements, demand cyclicality and competitive intensity. According to the latest analysis, this margin contraction was not fully offset by pricing or operating efficiency in the June quarter. Higher average global copper prices compared with the prior year increased base material expenditures, which was further exacerbated by significant minimum wage revisions implemented across multiple Indian states. To mitigate these operational pressures, the corporate management team is actively engaged in constructive discussions with automobile manufacturing customers to recover these systemic cost increases.
According to ICICI Securities, rising features-led premiumisation and gradual shift towards EVs/hybrids continue to be key levers for higher content per vehicle over the medium-to-long term. The company's new capacity addition is expected to drive healthy revenue growth, aligned with customer order wins. Ramp-up of new plants, pass-through of inflationary costs, and better efficiency including localisation remain crucial for margin recovery. Management guidance on the earnings call will be the single most important datapoint for updating FY27 forecasts, with investors focusing on whether revenue growth sustains through Q2-Q4 and whether margin trends improve relative to the current quarter's performance.
