Thank you, Pooja. Good evening, everyone. On behalf of ICICI Securities, I would like to welcome you all to Q4 FY25 earnings conference call of Minda Corporation Limited. Today, we have with us from the management team, Mr. Aakash Minda, Executive Director, Mr. Vinod Raheja, Group CFO, Mr. Sameer Sharma, Group Head, Strategy and M&A, and Mr. Nitesh Jain, Lead Investor Relations. I would like to thank the management for giving us this opportunity. I'll now hand over the call to the management for their opening comments, post which we'll open the floor for Q&A. Over to you, sir.
Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you, Ronak, and thank you, ICICI Securities, for hosting this call. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Q4 and FY25 earnings conference call for Minda Corporation Limited. I hope you're all doing well. It is a pleasure to connect with you today and present the company's performance for the quarter and the full financial year, along with the key developments across the businesses. Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to introduce Mr. Ajay Agarwal, who has joined us as President, Financing and Strategy. Mr. Agarwal is a Chartered Accountant and Lawyer, brings over 24 years of experience in the areas of strategy and finance. We believe his commercial acumen, capital market expertise, and strategic mindset will be key in shaping the next growth phase of our group. We would like to welcome him.
As FY25 concludes, the Indian automotive industry continued to navigate a dynamic environment with resilience. Amidst global macroeconomic challenges, the industry demonstrated stability, particularly in key vehicle segments. The two-wheeler segment recorded steady growth, led by premiumization, higher EV adoption, improved financing access, and deeper urban penetration. Passenger vehicle demand was driven by a consumer shift towards SUVs and hatchbacks. The commercial vehicle segment saw a 3.3% decline in production volumes, impacted by infrastructure projects and delay in monsoon disruptions. In contrast, the tractor segment posted modest growth, aided by favorable rural sentiment, government support, and a good monsoon. Overall, the industry delivered about a 6% year-on-year growth in Q4, underpinned by increased EV traction, product premiumization, and rising consumer affordability. Now, reflecting on the company performance, Minda Corporation continued to strengthen its market position in Q4 FY25.
The company surpassed consensus estimates, delivering highest-ever quarterly revenue of INR 1,321 crores, a growth of 9% on a year-on-year basis. The company reported highest-ever EBITDA of INR 153 crores, along with the highest-ever margin of 11.6% for the quarter, demonstrating strong operational execution and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. Profit before tax for the quarter stood at INR 65 crores, with a margin of 4.9%. PAT for Q4 FY25 stood at INR 52 crores, with a PAT margin of 3.9%. This was impacted by higher finance costs associated with the strategic investment in Flash Electronics and increased depreciation stemming from ongoing capacity expansion and technological upgrades. These strategic investments are expected to deliver and drive accelerated growth in the future. For the full year FY25, the company delivered highest-ever annual revenue of INR 5,056 crores, registering a growth of 9% year-on-year basis.
The company reported highest EBITDA of 575 crores, a growth of 12% year-on-year, with a margin expansion of 31 basis points. With PAT for the full year stood at 255 crores, making a growth of about 12.5% year-on-year basis. These results reaffirm the company's focus on sustainable growth and consistent profitability through growth-oriented capital allocation strategy. Our strategic initiatives continue to drive growth and enhance our competitive position in the financial year 2025. Some of the key highlights are: in January 2025, Minda Corporation entered into a strategic partnership through the acquisition of a 49% stake in Flash Electronics, a key player in powertrain and EV components in India. It is designed to offer complete system solutions and capture a greater share of the fast-growing automotive and EV segment in India.
This partnership opens up a new avenue for diversification through partnerships, adding powertrain and powertrain electronics as a new avenue for growth for the company. During the year, the company also booked a lifetime order exceeding INR 8,000 crores, with approximately 25% of the new orders coming from the new energy.
Ladies and gentlemen, the line from the chairperson seems to have disconnected. Please stay connected while we reconnect them. Thank you for your patience. We have the management line connected. Please go ahead, sir.
Sorry for the network. I would like to continue. During the year, the company booked lifetime orders exceeding INR 8,000 crores, with approximately 25% of new orders coming from electric vehicle platforms. This underscores our increasing traction in the new energy vehicle, which continues to be our strategic focus area. In Q4, EV sales stood at about 8% of Minda Corporation's total revenue, and on a full-year basis, it is approximately 7%. Flash Electronics has 23% of its revenue coming from EV products, which is a 92% growth over the previous year. The company also filed 30 new patents during the year, taking our total IPR portfolio to over 300, further strengthening our leadership in automotive innovation. These patents cover a wide range of products and technologies.
Lastly, our commitment to innovation remains central to our strategy, where we invested over 4% of our revenues on R&D initiatives through our in-house R&D center in Pune and Bangalore, supported by a team of more than 900 focused engineers on next-generation automotive technologies. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities, our efforts to enhance system solutions offering, strengthening our customer relationships, and investing in new technologies, and a strong focus on operational excellence will continue to drive the growth in FY26 and beyond.
Now, I will take you through the presentation, which is uploaded online. I request you to look at page number two, which shows a snapshot of Spark Minda Group, our Minda Corporation Limited.

With this, I would like to conclude my presentation, and further details that are available on pages 18 and 19. I would now request to open the floor for questions. Thank you.
Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touch-tone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Raghunandan from Nuvama Research. Please go ahead.
Good evening, sir, and thank you for the opportunity. Appreciate the promoter family commitment for equity investment at INR 550 per share. Any timeline for this investment that you can share?
Yes. Hi, Raghu. I'll request Vinod Raheja to answer this.
Yeah. We were required to sort of hold the postal ballot, the voting of which completed by end April. We are expecting the stock exchanges approval within this week, and the 25% of the money should be received max within two weeks. And thereafter, as per the terms, the balance 75% can be paid by the promoters within 18 months.
Got it. Thank you for that. On the sunroof plant, is it on track to start operations in Q1 FY26? How much revenue can we expect in FY26? And based on the capacity, what can be the peak revenue?
Raghu, the revenues will not be in FY26. As we have committed before, the revenues will be starting from FY27. The plant, which is next to our facility in the Pune region, is in progress. Since this is a 50/50 joint venture, it will be treated as an associate company.
Got it, sir. For full-year FY25, how much should be your sensors revenue? And also, specifically, EV parts like charger converter, how much should be the revenue in FY25? And how do you see the outlook ahead given the strong order book, which is more skewed towards EV business?
Yeah. The sensors portfolio for this part, Minda Corporation, is spread across multiple products. Some of them are the legacy and already implemented. Some of them are new. But for the current year, our sensors revenue is in the tune of about INR 250 crores-INR 300 crores. This is expected to grow further while we are localizing many sensors in India. And some of the new sensors are also going SOP in the next few quarters to come. When it comes to the EV penetration of our products, as I mentioned, the overall in quarter four, the EV platforms as a percentage of total sales stood at about 8%. For the full year, it is about 7%. And this is expected to grow further while we are launching new and new products and our SOP of the new products are happening.
But as I mentioned, Flash Electronics is having now, out of their revenue of INR 1,500 crores, they have 23% revenue coming from EV products and EV platforms, which is a 92% jump year on year.
Thanks for that, sir. And on Flash, like Minda and Flash, there is a potential for cross-selling, and medium-term potential can be as high as INR 500 crores-INR 600 crores. But in near-term, FY26, FY27, how much cross-selling can we expect? Also, there are synergies between Minda and Flash. Anything, any status, or any plan you can indicate where joint sourcing could lead to cost savings?
Yeah. So the joint synergies in terms of sourcing and other things have already started. And of course, starting from quarter one, there will be benefits that can be seen when it comes to the joint sourcing. Number two, when it comes to the cross-selling of the products, we've already identified three important areas for cross-selling. Of course, these products such as die-casting or wiring harnesses and electronic components need end-to-end customer approval. So that is already underway. And hopefully, by end of the year, we shall have these in SOP. And by FY27, we can see maybe close to a three-digit number coming into SOP for cross-selling.
Got it, sir. For Flash, FY25 was a strong year. And how do you see or how do you look at the expectations for FY26? And Flash had showcased product readiness for motors in PV and CV categories. Has there been any other wins, any timeline for SOP there?
Raghu, the growth momentum in the revenue of Flash Electronics should be again in the similar range that they have been doing for the last few years. So again, in the range of mid- to high double-digit percentage. Of course, it depends on how the EV penetration is. That's one. Number two, on the new product development through the tech center and now with Minda, there are multiple products which are being developed across segments. So we are again working with a couple of customers in India, and we've showcased the products. So as and when we move forward, we'll update you on winning businesses. But yes, they're under development and already being showcased to the customers.
Thank you, sir. And fall back to the queue before I come back.
Thank you, sir. We request you to rejoin the queue for follow-up questions. The next question is from the line of Shubham Bhadra from Ambit AMC. Please go ahead.
Hi, sir. Thanks for taking my question. I just wanted to ask that in the die-casting business, there is a YOY growth of roughly 40% for the quarter. Any particular reason for that?
Sorry, can you speak a little louder, please?
Yeah, sir. In the die-casting business, there is a YOY growth of 40%. Any particular reason for that?
Sorry. In die-casting, YOY for what, please?
For the quarter, there's a degrowth in the die-casting business revenue.
No, sorry. Where does it say degrowth?
Yeah.
No, where? There is no degrowth.
Die-casting.
Yeah, no, there is no degrowth, by the way. The die-casting division has grown year on year and quarter on quarter basis. So our die-casting division has overall grown. On quarter on full-year basis, the die-casting division has grown by about 15.5%. And on quarter on quarter basis, we have grown by about, again, 15%-16%.
Okay, okay. Got it. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Participants who wish to ask questions may press star and one. I repeat, to ask a question, you may press star and one. The next question is from the line of Mitul Shah from DAM Capital. Please go ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity and congratulations for strong margins in this tough environment. So first question on utilization, if you can give some ballpark number for both the segments, approx blended average utilization for mechatronics division as well as for the connection system.
Yeah, hi Mitul. Again, it depends on the various segments, various plants, various divisions depending on the products as well. But overall, we as an organization are currently working to the tune of about 65%-80% utilization. So different segments, different plants will have that variation.
Okay. And the second question is again follow-up to Raghu's question on synergy with Flash. Any thought process on joint R&D to develop completely new product segment or product line itself and in terms of synergy on the R&D side?
Yes. That work has already started. Our both engineering teams from our technical center and their Poland team have already started coming together to design and develop products. As you know, Flash Electronics is an expert in the powertrain-related products, and Minda Corporation offers power electronics, so together, we are developing products like X-in-1 for different segments, and they're already underway, so some of them were also showcased in the Bharat Mobility, and of course, as we move forward, this is being only showcased individually to customers when they visit our tech center as well as to the products as well as to the customers at their doorsteps.
Okay. Last question on this order book. Your initial remark, you highlighted something INR 8,000 crore plus type of. But can you give more details in terms of EV orders and within EV, two-wheelers mainly, or anything on the four-wheeler side?
Yeah, so EV order books are about 25% of this INR 8,000 crore lifetime. Again, a few of the large orders have come from new segments and new product lines. So, for example, our wiring harness division, which did not have very minuscule exports, now they have won some good orders for the exports businesses, which will, of course, help the wiring harness division as well as the group generating higher exports orders. When it comes to the other segments, it is spread across product lines and technologies. In the EV area, particularly, the orders are from two-wheelers and three-wheelers as that penetration is higher. So, of course, when we are developing more products, the complete EVU system will be offered to the passenger vehicle. But Minda Corporation has also won few EV products such as the chargers and other infrastructure-related products from the four-wheeler manufacturers.
Within this order book, how much would be export roughly?
Order book would be about close to 15% would be exports.
Yes, sir. Thanks and best wishes.
Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ask a question, you may press star and one. The next question is from the line of Dhananjay Mishra from Sunidhi Securities. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity. Thanks. My question is, we refer to Flash Electronics. So we had about INR 20 crore in impact or interest because of this in the quarterly. And on the full-year basis, it will be about INR 80 crore. So when we acquired Flash Electronics, we said that because of cross-selling and synergy benefit, it will be EPS equity from FY26 onwards. So how confident are you that it will be EPS equity? And secondly, in this quarter, also, have we included in this joint venture profit number from Flash Electronics for two months?
Yes. I will ask Vinod to answer. However, we had said that this will be EPS equity from FY27. And for the FY25, we have only 75 days of consolidation at the PAT level. So Vinod, over to you, please.
Yeah. In the current quarter, we sort of took share of profit for 75 days. And in the results, you can see that the share of profit of associate number that we have given is INR 10 crore, INR 30 lakh versus INR 1 crore, 15 lakh in the same period last year.
So what was the contribution from Flash in that out of INR 10 crore? Entirely Flash money?
Yeah. Contribution of Flash for about 75 days was INR 8 crore plus.
INR 8 crore. Okay.
INR 8 crore plus.
Okay. This INR 420 crore promoter fund will be coming in over next 18 months. So this will be utilized towards repayment of debt, or it will be again for the new investment?
Well, let me put it this way that we have potential norms, various financial metrics that we look at while deciding our capital allocation. So it will be in line with that only is what I can say at the moment.
And lastly, on the depreciation part, you said that this increase in depreciation because of some CapEx we have done in some strategic things. So can you explain on that more and how it will going to contribute in FY26 incremental revenue?
Yeah. As you would have seen in the presentation that in the course of year, we had two to three brownfield expansions in our die-casting division, in our sort of information and connected systems division also, and the healthy order book status that we shared of more than INR 8,200 crores. We should start realizing the production from this investment that we made in this year. So that.
From FY26?
Say it again.
From this year itself?
From this year onwards, yes.
Okay. Yeah, you go ahead.
As we have started building capacities for the order books that we have done in the past, as well as the order books that are being done in the current year as well, so they will now start helping us in getting economies of scale once the SOP starts in the next few months for the plants that have been showing, and as well as the other investments that are happening, so I cannot give you a number for the FY26 per se, but the order books that have been converted over the last two years, they will start coming into SOP from this year onwards.
Okay. And quarterly run rate for depreciation will be about INR 60 crore going forward, INR 57 crore-INR 60 crore?
In range, you have about INR 55 crores that we have reported in this quarter.
Okay. Okay. Thank you. All the best.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Before we take the next question, we would like to remind participants that you may press star one to ask a question. The next question is from the line of Ronak Mehta from ICICI Securities. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity. I have a couple of questions. Firstly, what is the progress on the TFT cluster business? If you can just highlight new order wins in the segment and what could be the growth outlook for the segment over the next couple of years?
Yeah. So see, now, as you know, that because of the premiumization, more and more TFT clusters' penetration is increasing across segments. We have won orders from all segments' customers, including domestic and exports for the TFT. So again, we have been manufacturing TFT clusters and exporting them for the last three years or four years or more. Over the last one year, we have won multiple orders from two-wheelers, three-wheelers, commercial vehicles, as well as passenger vehicle manufacturers. So the penetration is expected to increase in the quarters and years to come. And yes, Minda Corporation is fully ready for our infrastructure capabilities and capacities to cater to this growth.
Sure. Any ballpark revenue contribution that you expect over the medium term from this product line?
Out of the currently about INR 800 crore plus revenue of the Minda Instruments Limited, you can say the digital clusters contribute somewhere about 25%-30%. Of course, this is expected to grow to somewhere about 40% or so in the next, let's say, 18 months to 24 months.
Sure. Okay. All right. My next question is on the CapEx plan for the standalone business and for the Flash Electronics for next one year or two years, however you want to guide? Yeah.
I'll ask Vinod to answer the question, please. As you can see, that over the last two, three years, our CapEx has been in the range of about INR 200 crores-INR 300 crores, while this year we spent about INR 350 crores. Going forward, we see the CapEx to remain in the range of about INR 250 crores-INR 350 crores. And as regards the CapEx in Flash's concern, again, that should broadly be in the range of INR 50crores -INR 100 crores only.
Okay. And for the standalone business, INR 250 crores-INR 350 crore, towards what area? Will it be only towards capacity? How much will be the maintenance CapEx? If you can just help us with that.
In the course of next 18 months, we are also talking of two greenfield manufacturing facilities, of which one Akash covered in die-casting and the other in information and connected systems. It includes over the next 18 months' period, two greenfield. Of course, the new businesses that we are winning, CapEx towards that, and of course, some part of replacement CapEx.
Sure. Okay. And last question on the debt level. So I can see that closing debt as of 31st March is about INR 1,250 crore. What is the target debt for the next year? Yeah. That would be the last question.
So our objective has always been that we want to be in the clear financial prudence metrics that we have put in place. And we are comfortably positioned from that perspective. Yes, while going in the next years, we would like to significantly reduce this. And this is why the warrants from the promoters have also been issued. So yes, the intent is how we can bring down the [1.5x] debt to equity to about 2.2x in the next two to three years.
All right. Thank you. Thank you. That's all from my side.
Thank you.
Thank you. We'll take our next follow-up question from the line of Raghunandan from Nuvama Research. Please go ahead.
Thank you, sir, for the opportunity again. Sir, for Q4, if you have it handy, can you share what is the YOY growth in various segments: vehicle access, wiring harness, die-casting clusters, and others?
Yes. I will explain to you broadly the growth percentages. So our security division's growth has been in more than I mean, about 11%-12%. The die-casting has grown by about 13%-14%. The wiring harness has grown in single digits. And our Minda Instruments Limited has grown close to 20%. These are, again, the highest business volumes per se. Of course, there are small businesses or startup businesses like the EV businesses and the starter motor division, etc. They, of course, have a much higher growth because their base is also very low.
Got it, sir. Thank you very much. On wiring harness, the company has been working towards localization. Recently, you have tied up with Flash. Can you indicate the progress on localization and whether you will continue on this effort and what can be the targets ahead?
Yeah, so as you know that we started this journey about a couple of years ago, and today also we showed that we have now expanded our facilities, including capacities in engineering as well as operations for higher localization. In that respect itself, currently, our utilization of Minda connectors from our own wiring harness division is to the range of about 15%. And for the full year also, we have almost touched that same number. Now, going forward with our validations from our customers, both in high-voltage or EV segment and low-voltage segments, this is expected to grow higher. Our target is to reach about 20%-25% over the next 18-24 months, and all efforts are in those directions. From the high-voltage side, we have partnered up with Flash.
And we've also won many orders from our customers for the high-voltage connectors and other products that come from the partnership, such as the bus bars or the charging gun and the power distribution units, etc., which will be started coming into SOP in the next few quarters to come. So overall, the wiring harness division is now giving us a good sustainable growth in terms of the order books that we have explained in terms of exports. Also, the profitability has come to a sustainable and consistent level where we can now look at the growth of this division over the next few years to come, which includes the connection systems, the high-voltage, and the complete electrical distribution system as a system solution offering to the customers.
Thank you, sir, for that. And continuing on the high-voltage side, EV wiring harness or high-voltage, how is the traction with customers? How many customers would you be servicing in the EV wiring harness across two-wheeler, three-wheeler?
So I mean, I can't give you a number per se, but let me say that we are supplying high-voltage wiring harness to the top three EV two-wheeler manufacturers. We're always supplying them. In terms of the three-wheelers, also the largest, or all three manufacturers of the EV three-wheelers, we're supplying our high-voltage kits to them. So yes, we are engaged with them. And of course, they're all starting up in terms of the scale-up in terms of volumes. So yes, we are in business with the top OEMs in two-wheelers and three-wheeler segments. And we're also now engaged with the passenger vehicle OEMs in India and overseas for our high-voltage systems, wiring harness, as well as connection systems.
Any order wins there, sir, in passenger vehicles?
I will be able to only share that soon.
Got it. Just a clarification on the E2-wheeler, E3-wheeler. When we look at IC versus EV, fair to assume that you are on par to sustain market share? So because of the technology transition, you'll not be impacted. In fact, you'll be able to sustain or gain market share?
Sorry, can you repeat the question, please?
In wiring harness, compared to, say, IC two-wheeler market share, would EV market share be similar or better, or are you on par to achieving that sustenance?
Yes, we are on the path to achieve that sustenance, as well as, I think, the higher penetration of the connection systems. I think that's the most important part because currently, the connection systems are imported, and we are one of the first companies to develop these connection systems of high voltage in India, that capability, so yes, that's, I think, the first important milestone for us to reach that scale in terms of the high voltage, and the local capabilities of the wiring harness are already existing in Minda Corporation.
Just a last question, a housekeeping question. Can you share the contribution of digital clusters in your overall clusters business and smart keys in your locking system?
The digital clusters would be to the tune of about 15%, 15%-20% of our instrument cluster business. That is expected to grow higher as we are winning new orders from across segments and domestic and exports. For the smart key systems, our penetration is somewhere about 15%, again, for the smart key systems in our revenue.
Got it, sir. Thank you very much and wishing you all the best.
Thank you.
Thank you. We'll take our next follow-up question from the line of Mitul Shah from DAM Capital. Please go ahead.
Yes, thank you for the opportunity again. Sir, my question is on order book for Flash, if you can have some broader details you can share.
Mitul, with respect to the Flash order book, only thing I can share at the moment is they are consistently winning orders from their largest customer across their new segments, which are getting launched. Also, they have one recent order for their exports business from their metallics division. And from Minda Corporation side, we are also now started taking other customers of ours, and they've already visited Flash Electronics for audits as well as getting us on the bidders list. So we are on that journey, and those teams have already been formed to take up these next steps. So at the moment, that's where our objective is, and we are running on that.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in the interest of time, we'll take this as our last question. I now hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.
Once again, thank you very much. Minda Corporation, we remain highly confident in our growth trajectory, both in the near term and long term, driven by strategic investments and unwavering commitment to advancing our products and technologies. We are committed to creating value for all of our stakeholders and shareholders. We are investing deeply in our capabilities in terms of people, capacities, technologies, and competencies across fields. With this, I would like to also welcome the next financial year and, looking forward to meeting all of you soon. Thank you very much.
Thank you. On behalf of ICICI Securities Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines.
