STATE OF COMPANY''S AFFAIRS

Founded in 2008, our company specializes in designing, optimizing, manufacturing, assembling, testing, and integrating alternate fuel systems for heavy and light-duty commercial vehicles, buses, power generation equipment, and industrial machinery. We focus on CNG, LNG, and Hydrogen Fuel Kit systems, aiming to localize Euro-VI CNG kit components in India to reduce system costs.

Over the years, we have developed expertise in alternate fuel systems, particularly CNG and LNG kits, leveraging both in-house capabilities and technical partnerships with multinational corporations. These collaborations include long-term technology agreements and manufacturing licenses, granting us exclusive rights to produce customized products locally.

In line with evolving technologies, we plan to acquire foreign expertise through joint ventures or technology acquisitions to localize production of Gaseous Fuel Injection Technology systems. This strategic move will enable us to meet upcoming emission norms and enhance vehicle performance.

We have diversified into the Fire Detection & Alarm System and Fire Detection & Suppression System (FDAS & FDSS) manufacturing since April 2020. Further, with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) mandating fire protection systems in school buses effective October 1, 2023, the company has strategically explored the Fire Protection System (FPS) market as well.

Furthermore, the company has entered the Surface Mounting Technology (SMT) business, focusing on electronic circuit board production systems and related equipment such as printing and inspection machines. We have implemented a fully automated SMT line designed to deliver cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities. In this new endeavor, we provide a comprehensive "total solution" aimed at significantly enhancing our customers'' manufacturing efficiency and product quality. This includes a tailored lineup of board production equipment that meets specific customer requirements, ensuring precision and reliability throughout the manufacturing process.

Our commitment is to meet the evolving demands of the electronic manufacturing industry by delivering innovative solutions that not only improve our customers'' manufacturing lines and floors but also enhance the performance and reliability of their products. We aim to establish ourselves as a trusted partner in driving operational excellence and sustainable growth for our clients.

Moreover, global electronic manufacturing giants have begun reducing their reliance on China by relocating production facilities to countries like India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which offer better unit economics. This shift is driven by strategic considerations to diversify supply chains and mitigate risks. Over the next five years, the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) market in India is projected to expand significantly, potentially reaching a valuation of US$80 billion. This growth presents lucrative opportunities for both strategic and financial investors looking to capitalize on the burgeoning demand. The expansion is expected to be particularly robust in sectors such as mobile devices, consumer electronics, appliances, lighting, automotive electronics, and other emerging areas.

At present, SQT is actively engaged in the EMS business primarily serving OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) while also exploring collaborations with other industry stakeholders. Our focus remains on leveraging our expertise to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic market.
