Revenue Growth by Segment
In CY2024, the India segment grew by 1.9% YoY to INR 6,059 Cr, while the Europe segment saw a 34.7% decline to INR 2,909.8 Cr, primarily due to the divestment of the German forging business. For 9M CY2025, India sales grew 6% YoY to INR 4,393.5 Cr, while Europe sales dropped 3% to INR 2,400 Cr.
Geographic Revenue Split
As of CY2024, India accounts for 67% of total revenue (INR 6,059 Cr) and Europe accounts for 33% (INR 2,909.8 Cr). This reflects a strategic shift toward the Indian market following the exit from German forging operations which previously contributed ~19% of consolidated revenue.

Capital Expenditure
The company maintains a disciplined approach with planned annual capital expenditure of INR 500 Cr to INR 600 Cr. This is funded through healthy annual cash accruals exceeding INR 800 Cr, minimizing reliance on external debt.

ICRA reaffirmed the long-term rating at [ICRA]AA (Stable) and short-term rating at [ICRA]A1+. Interest coverage ratio improved to 18.4x in CY2024 from 13.5x in CY2023, reflecting reduced debt levels and lower finance costs of INR 77.6 Cr (down 27.7% YoY).
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include steel, aluminum, and iron. Cost of materials consumed in CY2024 was INR 4,647 Cr, representing 51.8% of total revenue.
Import Sources
Not specifically disclosed in available documents, though the company operates manufacturing bases in India, Germany, Italy, and Spain to source and supply locally.

Internal efficiency improvement plans in India helped raise EBITDA margins by 120 basis points YoY in CY2024. The company is also implementing Industry 4.0 and digitization to transform the supply chain.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
9%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by a 'judicious mix' of organic and inorganic expansion. Key strategies include focusing on the Indian market (which grew 9% in Q3 CY25), expanding the EV component portfolio in Europe, and optimizing the aluminum die-casting vertical. The company targets M&A to fill strategic gaps in technology and customer portfolios.
Products & Services
Forged parts, stamped body panels, iron castings, aluminum die-cast components, gears, magnetic products, and composite parts for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, tractors, and two-wheelers.
Brand Portfolio
CIE Automotive India (formerly Mahindra CIE), Bill Forge, Aurangabad Electricals (AEL).
New Products/Services
Focus on developing EV-specific components and aluminum parts to meet the shifting demand from ICE to electric platforms, particularly in the European market where EVs hold a 15% share.
Market Expansion
India is identified as a priority global market for the parent CIE Group. Expansion is focused on increasing wallet share with existing customers and adding new customers in the Indian 2W and PV segments.
Market Share & Ranking
The company consistently outperforms underlying market growth in key segments, maintaining a strong market position in the Indian forging and casting industry.
Strategic Alliances
The company entered into a Share Subscription and Shareholders Agreement (SSSHA) via its subsidiary CIE Aluminium Casting India Limited in June 2025.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward EVs and lightweighting (aluminum). Europe is seeing a consolidation of the supply chain, while India remains a high-growth market for ICE and hybrid vehicles.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with global and domestic forging/casting players. Competitive advantage is derived from being part of the global CIE Automotive group, allowing for rapid technology transfer.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on 'CIE's global technological expertise' and established relationships with global OEMs. This is sustainable due to the high capital intensity and technical requirements of forging and casting.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to European automotive demand, which saw negative growth in 2024. India operations are sensitive to domestic tractor and two-wheeler cycles.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward electric vehicles in Europe (15% market share) is forcing a transition in product mix toward EV-compatible components.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers and the threat of Chinese imports in the European market are identified as persistent risks to the competitive landscape.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Implementation of the new labour code in India may increase minimum wages, potentially impacting margins. European operations must comply with stringent carbon emission norms affecting the automotive supply chain.
Environmental Compliance
The company monitors ESG risks as part of its annual risk assessment survey, focusing on the transition to green energy and EV components.
Taxation Policy Impact
Tax expense for CY2024 was INR 2,571.6 million on a consolidated basis.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Uncertainty in European market volumes and the lingering inflation of energy costs in Europe could impair profitability by 5-10% if not managed.
Geographic Concentration Risk
67% of revenue is concentrated in India, making the company highly dependent on the Indian automotive cycle.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on a few key OEMs for the Stampings and Gears business verticals.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of ICE component obsolescence is being mitigated by a strategic pivot toward EV components and aluminum die-casting.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables quality is considered high given the client base of reputed global and domestic OEMs.
