Minda Industries has entered the premium luxury car segment in Europe owing the the clientele of Rinder Group (Namely ~ Rolls Royce, BMW etc) also Rinder Group is leading automotive LED lights in the 2 wheeler markets with major clients like BAJAJ, HERO, KTM and YAMAHA.
The Way Ahead
Given the recent scenarios where automotive industry is looking forward to the industry wide disruptions from the wave of EVs, we strongly believe Minda Industries has a niche market whose revenues are deemed to steadily grow given the sudden craze in IoTs and Infotainment systems added with Alloy Wheels..
The Company don't pose any real threat from the industry disruptions instead EV should open a newer market, one more focussed to Minda's Technological Edge.
Minda has completed 90% consolidation and its targeting to reach a 100% in the years to come.
Setting up of CREAT for Advanced research engineering and advanced technologies focused to capture

We maintain our positive outlook on the company at its current valuations, however the volatility and risk return characteristics of each investor with respect to the company may vary.
However, Minda has maintained a higher than industry average PE in recent times our research desk strongly believes low leverage and high growth along with the market leadership of Minda seem reasonable for such premiums..
