Market Scenario

India segment:

Financial Year 2025-26 delivered the strongest performance in
recent memory for the commercial vehicles sector, with retail sales
crossing the 10 lakh milestone for the first time at 10,60,906 units
- an 11.74% YoY growth. The production of commercial vehicles
increased by around 13% to 11,70,150 vehicles and exports by
around 17% to 94,793 vehicles in FY26. The Production of the
M&HCV during the year increased by around 16% to 4,58,506

vehicles and the sales of the M&HCV increased by around 13% to
4,22,998 Vehicles.

USA segments:

The sector experienced a down year in heavy-duty metrics, with
Class 8 retail sales declining approximately 13-14% year-over-year
to around 2,08,000-2,10,000 Vehicles. This reflected extended
weak freight demand, high costs, tariff-related uncertainties, and
deferred purchases, keeping sales below replacement levels for
most of the period.

The year represented a "bottoming" phase, characterised by
structural shifts and capacity contraction with a significant bright
spot during the end of the year, providing a strong close and
indicating an inflection point off the low cycle.

This performance underscores a sector in reset mode, with
2025 highlighting challenges but also laying groundwork for
stabilisation and modest recovery in 2026, driven by regulatory
clarity, fleet needs, and improving fundamentals.

Operational Highlights

Forgings and Machining Facility

The Company derives the major share of its revenues from the
Commercial Vehicle segment. Your Company produced 43,626
tons of forgings from this facility during the year under review as

compared to 47,352 tons last year registering a decrease of about
7.87%. The Company has made 109 new product development
last year.

The Company has the state-of-art of CNC Machining and Gear
Cutting Facilities in which it has achieved accuracies of DIN 3962
(Class 8 and 9) in Hobbing Stage, DIN 3962 (Class 7) in Shaving
Stage.

The Company has made 101 new product development in the
CNC Turning, 62 new development in the Gear cutting and 69

Future Outlook

for the domestic CV sector. According to ICRA overall CV volumes

are expected to grow in the mid-single-digit range (4-6%) in FY
2026-27, following the high base of FY26. Growth is likely to be
led by the M&HCV segment, supported by sustained infrastructure
spending, mining and construction activity, replacement demand,
and fleet profitability. LCV growth is expected to remain steady,
driven by e-commerce and last-mile delivery, albeit at a more
tempered pace.

US Truck Sector

The U.S. commercial market size is estimated to grow to
approximately USD 364.99 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR
of 6.80% from 2025 to 2034. The U.S. commercial vehicle market is
expanding globally through exports, strategic partnerships, and
