The Indian auto component industry is undergoing a robust growth path, with shifts in the supply chain, consumer demands and high development prospects. Growth of the global OEM sourcing from India and localization is turning the country into a preferably designing and manufacturing base, strong policy support from the government with

FAME II and also constant R&D support has been the lubricant in this journey. The monthly FADA and auto number data has been extremely encouraging and points to the demand recovery in the vehicle retail sales rising to 48% in October compared to the same month last financial year on account of the festive season and monsoon.

Good market sentiment coupled with festive boosts made the festive '22 to as the best in the last four years. If I look at segment-wise as well, I think the passenger car recovery in this financial year will actually be the highest in the country, surpassing the peaks of '18, '19. Other segments are trailing behind.

However, we are encouraged by the government's infrastructure development and also the future mobility that the other segments like the commercial vehicle as well as the 2-wheelers would also catch up. Other key drivers for the industry growth still remains key, which has an increased focus on technical advancement and improved market share. We continue to strengthen our position in this segment and the increased penetration of EV should also help the growing volumes going forward.

This is also substantiated with our great order book of the OEMs and new model launches planned in the near future. With the new launches also across segments and improved demand for premiumization, we find ourselves well-placed. We continue to maintain the market leadership in lighting. The quarter also embarked acquisition of 100% ownership interest of its subsidiary, Lumax Industry, Czech in Czech Republic to further strengthen its technology and innovation capabilities. We are focused on becoming self-reliant in design and development with increased investments in R&D.

We have also become the preferred partner for Indian OEMs, offering best-in-class lighting solutions across various sectors. Our collaboration with standard electric company in Japan, which is the only global auto lighting company to manufacture LED worldwide has also been a catalyst to work with technological advancement. We are working towards developing products indigenously and building premium products for which we have seen increasing demand.

On the EV front, as I mentioned, the industry has a huge uptick in demand, and we are going to leverage this with the cutting product portfolio. We are also quite certain that although the 2-wheelers have been the fast adopter of EV, now the passenger cars is also seeing uptick. As mentioned in the previous quarter, out of the order book of around INR 1,000 crores in the next two to three years, 50% of this is consists of EV vehicles. Now I would like to hand over the line to Mr. Sanjay Mehta, Group CFO of the company to update you on the financial performance of the company.

Sanjay Mehta: Good afternoon, everyone. I will update on the operational and financial performance for the quarter 2 and 6 months ended FY '23. The sale of led lighting for the half year as a percentage of revenue strength was 35% and conventional lighting at 65%. With respect to segment mix for six months, 65% of revenues from passenger vehicles, 29% from 2-wheelers and 6% from commercial vehicles. With respect to product mix, 66% of revenues from front lighting, 24% from rear lighting and 10% from other.

Talking about the financial performance, I'm delighted to say that in the quarter 2 FY '23, company has achieved the highest ever quarterly revenue standing at INR 620 crores, depicting a growth of 37% on a year-on-year basis. Revenue for H1 FY '23 is at INR 1,132 crores as against INR 767 crores, witnessing a strong growth of 48%.
