Recently, Spark Minda entered into a Technology Licence and Assistance Agreement (TLA) with Daesung, Eltec of Korea to introduce ADAS solutions in India.
Ashok Minda, Chairman & CEO, Spark Minda said, “The second quarter of FY23 witnessed a turnaround in consumer sentiments with pent-up demand across vehicle segments on both year-on-year and sequential basis. Despite strong cues in demand from the domestic market, we are still navigating the challenges arising because of subdued growth in exports and semiconductor supply crunch. Amidst these tailwinds and headwinds, Minda Corporation continues to exhibit a sustained performance.”
He said that the company’s growth was driven by better revenue visibility across all business verticals, an increase in the share of business from existing customers and an increase in content per vehicle. The tier 1 supplier states it has a robust balance sheet has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.06x.
Minda states that he expects the demand to remain strong on the back of improved consumer sentiments, product premiumisation for urban centres and new vehicle launches despite geopolitical risks and anticipated economic slowdown in certain geographies. Moreover, stabilisation of commodity prices would further aid improvement in underlying margins.
“We will continue to focus on growing our legacy portfolio while targeting new business through aggressively investing in R&D for future technologies. We remain committed to our customers and shareholders by providing best-in-class quality of advanced products, technologies, and system solutions by continuously focusing on cost optimisation and right capital allocation,” he concluded.
