Views: The company’s performance is a proxy of Indian M&HCV volumes wherein it underperformed the M&HCV production domestically both for the quarter as well as for the year (FY23). Key positive, however, from the results was margin profile and CFO generation. Healthy margin performance was driven by lower other expense, which was down 146 bps QoQ with gross margin down 30 bps QoQ. Going forward, key monitorable would be the company’s execution on new product basket as well as entry into new markets amid steady lower double digit volume growth for domestic M&HCV industry in FY24E.
