thebalanced.newsForging Company Supplying Major OEMs Plans Capex Amid EV Transition Challenges
A forging company with over 40 years of experience supplies crankshafts to major clients like Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Liebherr. While crankshafts are becoming less relevant in battery electric vehicles (EVs), the company believes the impact on its heavy-duty components will be limited, as trucks, tractors, and off-highway vehicles are expected to electrify more slowly than passenger cars. The firm maintains strong profitability with nearly a 30% EBITDA margin and is initiating a new capital expenditure plan.
