The Indian automobile industry is witnessing robust growth,
propelled by rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanization,
and supportive government initiatives focused on sustainable
mobility. This momentum is expected to persist, with the
sector projected to grow consistently in next 2~3 years.

Technological innovation is at the forefront of industry
transformation. Automakers are increasingly adopting advanced
technologies such as connected vehicles, autonomous
driving, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, with
EVs now accounting for over 6% of total two-wheeler sales,
and several new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) launched
in 2025. Local component manufacturers are focusing on
indigenizing advanced parts like electric motors and automatic
transmissions to reduce import dependence.

The company remains committed to developing new products
using cutting-edge technology to stay future-ready. All thermal
solutions are meticulously designed to meet the evolving needs
of customers across mobility sectors. Improving operational
efficiency, product quality, and supply chain effectiveness
continues to be a strategic priority and will remain a key driver
of competitiveness going forward.

There has been no change in the nature of the Company’s
business.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

In FY 2024-25, India’s external environment saw a mixed
bag of challenges and opportunities. While the economy

exhibited resilience, with GDP growth projected at 6.4%,
global uncertainties like the Red Sea crisis and geopolitical
tensions impacted trade and investment flows. Despite these
headwinds, India’s foreign exchange reserves remained robust,
and FDI inflows showed a revival.

The Indian automobile industry continued its growth
trajectory, driven by healthy demand, infrastructure
investments, and government policies supporting sustainable
mobility. Domestic sales increased by 7.3%, and exports
rose significantly by 19.2%.India’s automobile industry saw
a strong performance, with passenger vehicle sales reaching
a record high of 4.3 million units. This growth was primarily
driven by the utility vehicle segment, which accounted for
65% of total passenger vehicle sales. There has been a
clear and continuous shift in consumer preference from car
segment to SUV segment, with SUVs share going up from
49% (FY 2022-23).

The Indian automobile industry is poised for strong growth,
driven by increasing demand, government initiatives, and
a shift towards electric vehicles. The government’s push
for EV adoption and increasing consumer awareness are
expected to fuel the growth of the EV segment, with EVs
potentially accounting for a significant share of the market
by 2030. Initiatives like the AMP 26, scrappage policy, and
production-linked incentive scheme are expected to boost the
industry’s growth and competitiveness. India has the potential
to become a global hub for automotive manufacturing and
innovation, with increasing exports and investments from
international companies.

The industry is focusing on developing and adopting new
technologies, such as connected vehicles, autonomous driving,
and advanced driver-assistance systems. The industry is also
prioritizing sustainability, with increasing focus on reducing
emissions and adopting eco-friendly technologies.

The Company continues to remain watchful of possible
impact of changes in interest rates, vehicle prices, volatile
geopolitical situation impacting economic & supply chain
situations on end consumer & OEM demand. The BEV/
Hybrid/CNG (alternate fuel) vehicle penetration continues
to increase due to Govt. push through various regulations
& schemes and also increase in customer acceptability for
clean or alternate fuel vehicles. Govt AC Mandate for Goods
carrier (N2 & N3 category) will have immediate positive
impact on our performance of FY 2025-26. Strong Order
book for Railway Business will be a key driver for our top
line as well as bottom line. The Company is also focused to
develop segments like Bus AC with more variety of products
and also EV AC kits. With a well-diversified thermal solution
portfolio and strong manufacturing presence, export remains
another focus area for the organization.

EXPANSION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

The Company has increased its capacity in existing plant
locations to meet the increasing customer demand. The
Company has also sanctioned to setup green field project
at Kharkhoda (Haryana). The Company has also introduced
products for Railway Business, Goods Carrier vehicle (trucks),
Hybrid & Electric Vehicle in FY 2024-25 and will continue to
introduce more such products in coming years as per customer/
market requirements. Localization and cost optimization
activities across all product segments to marginalize impact
of global economic factors remains one of the core focus for
operations team.

There is capacity & product optimization and enhancement
plan with focus on Make in India along with increased local
manufacturing to ensure sufficient capacity is available for
all customers across locations in line with growing market
demand across all the segments.

Subros’ continuous investment to enhance design capability
as we move forward, has ensured that the organization is
ready to meet future customer demands in-line with Govt.
regulations with strong focus on long term technology
development. Currently, active work is being done for various

The Company relentless pursuit of excellence has enabled it to improve product quality, reduce lead times, and optimize costs, thereby enhancing the competitiveness in the market.

There has been no change in the nature of business of the Company.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The Indian automobile industry has historically been a good indicator of how well the economy is doing, as the automobile sector plays a key role in both macroeconomic expansion and technological advancement. The rising logistics and passenger transportation industries are driving up demand for commercial vehicles. India is also a prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations for the near future.

In addition, several initiatives by the Government of India such as the Automotive Mission Plan 2026, scrappage policy, and production-linked incentive scheme in the Indian market are expected to make India one of the global leaders in the coming years.

India enjoys a strong position in the global heavy vehicles market as it is the largest tractor producer, second-largest bus manufacturer, and third-largest heavy truck manufacturer in the world. India''s annual production of automobiles in FY2023-24 was 23.8 million vehicles. India has a strong market in terms of domestic demand and exports.

The passenger vehicles (cars) in India reached an all-time high in the financial year 2023-24, totaling more than 4.2 million units. This surge was particularly notable in the sales of Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), which accounted for a significant portion of the overall sales.

SUVs remain the prime driver behind the healthy volumes in India. In 2024, SUV sales witnessed a remarkable 24% growth, reaching 2 million units and accounting for almost half of the country''s passenger vehicle (PV) volume. This surge was driven by automakers'' efforts to meet consumer preferences through the introduction of new SUV offerings that cater to various market segments. All major OEM''s have followed the same strategy by following the customer preference resulted into this surge.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Heavy Industry has issued a notification for all new trucks to be manufactured on or after October 1, 2025, must be equipped with AC cabins for drivers. Truck drivers play a key role in the transport sector for India and there is a need to address issues regarding their working

conditions and safety. This notification will boost Company''s efforts to expand its base of customers and at the same time increase its share of business in this segment.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

After two years of demand variations due to Covid, the FY 2022-23 has been a year of stabilized positive growth for the Indian Automobile Industry. Passenger vehicles (PV)

segment recorded highest ever production of 4.6 million vehicles, marking a growth of 25% over last year. There has been a clear shift in consumer preference from car segment to SUV segment, with SUVs share going up to 49% (FY 2022-23) from 46% (FY 2021-22). Car segment share has dropped to 48% (FY 2022-23) from 51% (FY 2021-22). The automobile sales in FY 2022-23 have some impact due to supply chain constraints and semiconductor shortages mainly in first half of the FY, which led to some constraint on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) production vs market demand. The penetration of BEV/ Hybrid/CNG vehicle witnessed significant growth from the last year, with major OEM launching BEV/Hybrid/CNG Vehicles. The commercial vehicle segment also witnessed a growth of 29% from FY 2021-22 along with EV Commercial vehicles increasing their numbers. The passenger carrier (Bus) segment has shown a strong growth with significant demand continuing for AC Ambulances and exceeded production of pre-covid year (FY 2019-20). Also the goods carrier segment (Truck) witnessed a growth of 23% from last year. The pressure on Company’s cost remains high as there has been significant rise in input costs due to various economic and geopolitical situations, and though trend seem to be easing towards H2 of FY 2023-24 but it remains volatile and input costs continued to be higher than pre COVID levels.

The future outlook for passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle remains positive, though growth is likely to moderate in FY 2023-24 to higher single digit for PVs, and slightly higher than this for CVs. The Company continues to remain watchful of possible impact of increasing interest rates, increased vehicle prices & volatile global economic & supply chain situations on end consumer & OEM demand.

The BEV/Hybrid/CNG (alternate fuel) vehicle penetration is expected to increase in coming years due to Govt. push through various regulations & schemes and also increase in customer acceptability for clean or alternate fuel vehicles. The Company is focused to develop segments like Bus AC with more variety of products and also EV AC kits, and also Rail Coach AC segment where Company has successfully obtained necessary facility approval in FY 2022-23 for development & supply for Indian Railways.

EXPANSION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

The Company expanded their capacity at Chennai location and commenced supplies for New Products. The Company has also introduced products for Hybrid & Electric Vehicle in FY22-23 and would introduce more such products in coming years. The Company is focused on localization and cost optimization activities across all product segments to marginalize impact of global economic factors. There is capacity & product optimization and enhancement plan with focus on Make in India along with increased local manufacturing to ensure sufficient capacity is available for all customers across locations in line with growing market demand across all the segments.

The Company is also gearing up for meeting future customer demands in-line with Govt. regulations with strong focus on long term technology development. New product development for Inter combustion engine & EV for Passenger vehicles, Bus, Truck, Off-road are in progress for various OEM Models in-line with their project milestones. New Projects for Rail Cab AC & Coach AC are also under development & execution. The long term growth prospects for the Company’s product remains robust with passenger vehicle industry production likely to touch 7 million vehicles by 2030.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The second & third wave of Covid-19 pandemic, has led to shortage of semi-conductors, logistic issues and created economic disruption throughout the world including India. The Company’s operations have been adversely impacted due to the consequent lockdowns announced by the State Governments due to which the operations were suspended for part of the first quarter and gradually resumed with requisite precautions.

The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 in the preparation of these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022. While assessing the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, the Company has considered internal and external information available, and based on such information and assessment, has concluded that no further adjustments are required to be made to these financial statements.

The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

The performance of the Company is also discussed in Management Discussion and Analysis, as stipulated under Regulation 34 of the Listing Regulations with the Stock Exchanges, which forms part of the Directors’ Report.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

COVID-19 wave-2 had moderate impact on the Company’s performance. Though there was one month of lock down applied variably in many parts of the country in the month of May, 2021, however, recovery was seen in passenger car segment in Q2, 2021-22 followed by demand pick up in truck segment as well. Semiconductor shortage was observed at most Passenger Vehicle OEMs and their production were not able to return to peak levels to meet rising customer demand due to increased preference for personal mobility in post pandemic period from Q2, 2021-22 onwards. Accordingly, the Company saw high variability and downward pressure on PV segment OEM demand. Extraordinary increase in commodity prices and imported container costs and their availability during the year did have pressure on company’s cost. Truck segment has shown good demand in Q3 and Q4, 2021-22 and bus segment has shown demand uptick in Q4, 2021-22 after a gap of almost 2 years of pandemic. Demand for AC ambulances is continuing. Home AC segment demand pick up got impacted due to higher commodity prices, raw material availability and customer side demand fluctuations; but is expected to stabilize.

The semiconductor shortage would continue to impact in the passenger vehicle segment, and is expected to restrict OEM production in first two quarters of FY 2022-23,

though situation is likely to be better than FY 2021-22. Global pandemic and geo political events including lockdowns in China may restrict OEM production due to raw material availability, and needs to be watched for. Semiconductor situation is likely to improve towards Q3/ Q4, 2022-23 and is likely to help OEMs return to their peak production towards Q4, 2022-23. Truck segment is likely to show better growth whereas bus segment is likely to return to pre-pandemic levels by end of the FY 2022-23 due to opening of the schools and phased opening of offices and tourism sector, and these segments expected to better than FY 2021-22. The Company expects to begin supplies in Coach AC segment during this year after obtaining regulatory approval. Also split AC production would start in FY 2022-23. Commodity prices are likely to stabilize by Q2, 2022-23 but may continue to put pressure on costs.

EXPANSION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
