It is a pleasure to connect with you today to discuss the company's performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and share the key developments across our businesses. The global economy continues to navigate an evolving environment marked by geopolitical developments, changing trade dynamics, and persistent uncertainty across several regions. Despite these challenges, India remains one of the fastest growing major economies, supported by strong domestic demand, improving infrastructure activity, and continued policy support for manufacturing. Turning to the automotive industry. The sector delivered a strong performance for the quarter, recording its highest ever first quarter production volumes. Page 2 of 18 Minda Corporation Limited August 13, 2026 Overall industry production grew by around 22% on YoY basis, driven by positive demand conditions, improving exports, and resilient consumption across both rural and urban markets. The two-wheeler segment grew by approximately 23%, driven by strong scooter demand and exports momentum. Electric two-wheeler adoption also continued to accelerate, with registrations crossing 5 lakh units for the first time in a single quarter. Passenger vehicles grew by approximately 17%, led by strong demand for utility vehicles and premiumization and exports. Key industry trends such as electrification, premiumization, and increasing preference for SUVs continue to gain momentum. Three-wheelers recorded growth of approximately 39%, and commercial vehicles and tractors grew by approximately 15% each during the quarter. Overall, the demand conditions remained positive across major vehicle segments. On electric vehicle penetration in the two-wheeler segment, it reached about 10.6%, and the passenger vehicle penetration reached to about 7.5%. While vehicle demand remained very good, the quarter remained challenging from input cost perspective higher prices of key raw materials, supply chain and logistic related disruptions, manpower related disruptions, and wage increase impacted the automotive component industry and put pressures on margins. Now coming to Minda Corporation, during Q1 FY27, the company surpassed consensus estimates, delivering its highest ever quarterly revenue of INR 1,846 crores, a growth of 33.2% on YoY basis. The company reported EBITDA of INR 212 crores, with a growth of 35.4% YoY basis. EBITDA margin stood at 11.5%. PAT reached INR 206 crores with a growth of 216% on YoY basis.
