Indian Auto Ancillary Maintains Monopoly on Key Component Amid EV Transition
An Indian auto ancillary company holds a near-monopoly on a component essential across internal combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles, supplying about 80% of the passenger car market. Despite revenue growth of 8.7% in FY 2025-26 and completing its largest investment cycle, the company's consolidated profit declined. The product's relevance persists due to its integration with advanced features like sensors and thermal control, offering both defensive stability and premiumisation opportunities amid the shift to electric vehicles.
