Industry overview

India’s auto component industry has evolved into a critical pillar of the country’s automotive ecosystem, exhibiting a consistent growth trend over the past five years. The market includes supplies to domestic vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), the thriving aftersales/replacement segment, and a growing share of international trade, both exports and imports. After a temporary setback in FY 2021 due to the pandemic, the industry has demonstrated strong recovery and expansion, driven by rising vehicle production, increased localization, growing vehicle parc, and India’s emergence as a preferred global sourcing hub. 

The Indian auto component market was valued at Rs 3.4 trillion in FY 2021, reflecting the impact of pandemic-led disruptions on automotive production, supply chains, and vehicle demand. From FY 2022 onwards, the sector entered a strong recovery phase, with market size increasing to Rs 4.2 trillion in FY 2022 and accelerating to Rs 5.6 trillion in FY 2023, supported by higher domestic OEM production, a rebound in replacement demand in the aftermarket, and improved export performance. The industry recorded a turnover of Rs 3.56 trillion in H1 FY 2026, compared with Rs 3.33 trillion in H1 FY 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.8%. This half-year performance aligns with steady vehicle production levels, resilient aftermarket activity, and continued export demand, indicating the persistence of growth momentum into FY 2026.

The Indian auto component industry continues to benefit from strong and targeted policy support in FY 2025-26, with the government’s focus increasingly centred on technology adoption, localization, and electric mobility. Following the conclusion of the FAME-II scheme, the Government of India introduced the PM E-DRIVE scheme in FY 2025, with a total outlay of Rs 10,900 crore, aimed at accelerating EV adoption across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, e-buses, and charging infrastructure. This shift toward a more structured and ecosystem-driven incentive framework is supporting sustained demand for EV-related auto components such as electric drivetrains, power electronics, battery management systems, and thermal solutions. In parallel, the policy allowing 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route remains in place, enabling global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to expand manufacturing, R&D, and sourcing operations in India. A key pillar of policy support remains the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Components, implemented under the Department of Heavy Industries with a total outlay of Rs 25,938 crore. The scheme is designed to promote domestic manufacturing of advanced automotive technologies, including EV components, safety systems, hydrogen-based technologies, and high-value electronics, and continues to drive committed capital expenditure, localization, and technology partnerships in FY 2025-26.

Pros and strengths

Strategically located manufacturing facilities: The company operates a manufacturing facility at the Tata Vendor Park in Sanand, Gujarat. This location offers logistical advantages due to its proximity to major automobile manufacturing hubs in the region, enabling efficient movement of goods and materials. Its location within the Tata Vendor Park provides additional supply chain benefits, with most raw material suppliers located in and around Ahmedabad city and key Tier I customers are within close proxity to its manufacturing facility. This proximity enables reduced lead times and transportation costs. 

Green energy and sustainability initiatives: The company is engaged in the EV ecosystem, catering to the growing demand for sustainable and future-oriented mobility solutions. Being consistent with this commitment, it has taken steps to integrate sustainable practices into its operations. In line with this, it commissioned a rooftop solar power plant with a capacity of 636 kW. This plant is designed to supply a portion of its total energy requirements, thereby reducing dependence on grid electricity and mitigating exposure to electricity tariff fluctuations. 

Technology enabled manufacturing and process engineering capabilities: The company employs technology enabled manufacturing systems and process engineering to produce a varied range of plastic injection moulded components. It has progressively invested in automation to improve process efficiency. The first industrial robot was installed in 2020, and it has since expanded to over 20 robots. These are deployed for injection moulding operations. It has developed experience in working with complex moulding techniques. This includes handling intricate moulds such as core pulling moulds and unscrewing, which enable it to produce precision components with intricate geometries. These capabilities strengthen its ability to meet stringent dimensional and functional requirements of the automotive ancillary industry.

Risks and concerns

Substantial portion of revenue derives from the state of Gujarat: As per its restated financial statements 99.96%, 99.92%, and 99.88% of its revenue from operations for the financial years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, has been generated from customers based in the state of Gujarat. Revenue from other states collectively accounts for less than 1% of its total revenue during these years. This geographic concentration is primarily attributable to the fact that a majority of its key customers, including automotive OEMs and major Tier-1 suppliers, operate from or procure through facilities located in Gujarat, which has emerged as a significant automotive manufacturing and supplier cluster. Any adverse developments in this region may materially and adversely affect its business and results of operations.

Dependence on Tier-I customers and automotive OEMs: It is engaged in the manufacturing of plastic injection moulding sub- assembly operations and supplying primarily to the automotive sector. The company operates as a Tier-II supplier, manufacturing products strictly in accordance with the designs and specifications provided by Tier-I vendors, who in turn supply directly to OEMs. Consequently, the growth and sustainability of its business are inherently dependent on i) the continued demand from Tier-I vendors, and ii) the order flow and procurement cycles of OEMs in the automotive sectors. For the financial years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, its top ten customers contributed 99.95%, 99.99%, and 99.96%, respectively, to its total revenue from operations. Any reduction or discontinuance of their demand may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Exposure to equipment-related disruptions: Its manufacturing operations rely significantly on injection moulding machines and robotic systems procured from third-party manufacturers, such as Milacron. It has 30 injection moulding machines with capacities ranging from 120 tons to 1,700 tons installed at its manufacturing facility, in addition to multiple robotic systems and automated assembly lines that ensure consistency and efficiency in production. These machines and systems are capital intensive, require regular maintenance, and have a finite operational life. Any breakdown, malfunction, or technical failure of its machinery could lead to unplanned stoppages, production delays, or inability to meet customer specifications. Further, sourcing spare parts or technical expertise often requires reliance on equipment manufacturers or authorised suppliers, which may involve significant lead times and costs. Such delays in the procurement of spare parts or technical services could further exacerbate production disruptions.

Outlook

Kheria Autocomp is an auto ancillary unit engaged in the business of plastic injection moulding. It sources raw materials from a network of established and approved suppliers, including vendors nominated by customers. This ensures alignment with their approved supplier lists and maintains uniformity in raw material characteristics across production batches. While sourcing, it takes into account specific requirements such as colour specifications, quality parameters, and grade certifications to ensure that each batch is consistent with customer expectations. On the concern side, a significant portion of the Net Proceeds is proposed to be utilized towards funding its capital expenditure requirements including purchase of plant and machinery for its new manufacturing facility, for which certain orders have been placed. Any delay in procurement, delivery or installation of plant and machinery for its new manufacturing facility, including machinery for which purchase orders have been placed, may delay implementation, result in cost overruns and adversely affect its business operations and growth strategy.
