Capex plans
Yes- The company is undertaking a significant CAPEX of ₹1,500 crore towards setting up 10 new Greenfield facilities in India (plus 1 in China), focused on both automotive and non-automotive businesses.
- This CAPEX is growth-oriented and not part of normal maintenance; normalized maintenance CAPEX is roughly half of the ₹4,500 crore guidance.
- The full-year CAPEX guidance for FY24 has been revised upward to ₹4,500 crore (+/- 5%) to support emerging market growth and include CAPEX for recently acquired assets.
- The ₹4,500 crore CAPEX includes investments in new acquisitions assimilated during the quarter and additional Greenfield/Brownfield projects.
- The company expects CAPEX in FY25 to be higher than FY24 due to upcoming acquisitions closing in Q4 FY24.
- These investments align with OEM expansions in India and increased traction on the non-automotive side.
- The CAPEX level is a planned growth investment and not reflective of normalized business maintenance levels.
