I now hand the conference over to Mr. Himanshu Sharma, Head Investor Relations of Tenneco

Himanshu Sharma: Thank you, Sanya. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome. Today we have

Financial Officer. A detailed presentation on the business and financial performance is available

With that, I now hand over to Arvind.
Arvind Chandra: Thank you, Himanshu, and good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Tenneco
Clean Air India's Q1 FY2027 Earnings Call. We started FY2027 on a strong footing, driven by
disciplined execution, continued market share gains, and increasing adoption of our technology-
led solutions across both our Advanced Ride Technologies and Clean Air Powertrain businesses.
Despite a quarter marked by significant commodity inflation, geopolitical disruptions, and the
additional costs associated with operating as a newly listed public company, we delivered
healthy growth while sustaining strong profitability. For the quarter, value added revenue grew
18.4% year-on-year to INR13,816 million, outperforming the growth of our served addressable
market.
Revenue from operations increased 20.2% year-over-year to INR15,448 million. EBITDA grew
7.9% year-on-year to INR2,469 million, and we delivered an EBITDA margin of 17.9% on value
added revenue. Profit after tax stood at INR1,652 million. Now, PAT grew similar to EBITDA
growth if you exclude a one-time benefit recorded in the corresponding quarter last year where
we sold our Motocare business and other one-off income.
But if you exclude Motocare, our PAT growth is similar to EBITDA growth. I want to be very
clear on that. Beyond financial performance, I am particularly pleased with the continuous
progress we're making in gaining market share across our core businesses. Our commercial
vehicle Clean Air Solutions business increased value market share from 57% to 58% in FY2026,
while our passenger vehicle shock absorbers and struts business expanded market share from
52% to 55% in the Indian market.
In off-highway Clean Air Solutions, we maintained our strong leadership position with a market
share of 68%. These gains reflect our technology leadership, customer relationships, and

relentless focus on execution. In Advanced Ride Technologies, the momentum behind our
proprietary DCx DaVinci platform continues to strengthen like never before.
During the quarter, we secured multiple new application wins across existing customers while
also adding four new customers to the conventional and DCx platforms. Since its introduction,
DCx has continued to redefine ride performance expectations in the Indian market while
maintaining the affordability and robustness required for local operating conditions.
Building on this momentum, we introduced DCx32, the latest addition to the DCx family,
specifically targeting smaller A and B segment vehicles and significantly expanding our
addressable market opportunity. We also successfully completed fitment and performance
benchmarking of our mechanical adaptive ride damping or MARD technology with a leading
domestic OEM.
Importantly, this innovation was developed and validated entirely in India, further reinforcing
our local engineering capabilities and commitment to technology leadership. And this type of
local engineering and innovation will continue in the future. Within our Clean Air and
Powertrain business, we continue to strengthen customer partnerships through multiple strategic
program nominations spanning ignition systems, hot end and cold end aftertreatment solutions,
and other powertrain applications.
One of the notable achievements during the quarter was securing a spark plug order from one of
India's largest passenger vehicle OEMs. This win represents a strong entry into a new white
space opportunity and demonstrates our ability to leverage long-standing customer relationships
to expand our footprint.
Additional wins included a new passenger vehicle exhaust program with a leading domestic
OEM, a cold end assembly program for global OEM CNG platform, and an upcoming emissions
aftertreatment program for a leading domestic commercial vehicle manufacturer. These program
awards continue to broaden our growth pipeline and reinforce our position as a trusted
technology partner for our customers. We're also making encouraging progress in export
markets.
During the quarter, our Advanced Ride Technologies business secured its maiden order from a
leading European all-terrain vehicle manufacturer, opening a new customer segment and
geography for us. Additionally, our Powertrain business won a heat shield order from Tenneco
America, demonstrating the global competitiveness of our Indian operations. These export wins
support our long-term ambition of expanding exports and deepening our particip
