2. OEM Partnerships & Strategic Wins
LATL’s deepened integration with India’s top vehicle manufacturers remains its strongest growth engine:
- Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL): Emerged as the largest revenue growth contributor to LATL’s Mechatronics division in Q1FY27. Key new supplies include Body Control Modules (BCM) and ferrule-less CNG tubing/fittings for the Ertiga.
- Bajaj Auto: Growth accelerated via wallet share expansion on the popular Chetak EV platform, entry into new model lines, supplying LED headlamps for the Platina, and Swing Arms for the Pulsar.
- Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M): Through its subsidiary Greenfuel Energy, LATL secured a landmark order to supply CNG fuel delivery systems for M&M’s maiden CNG passenger vehicle, supported by a dedicated upcoming facility in Nashik.
- TVS Motor & HMSI: Commercialized supplies for various moulded polymer components across multiple model lines.
3. Strong Order Book & Future Growth Catalysts
Order Book Expansion
LATL’s order book expanded 10% QoQ to ₹1,600 Crore, providing robust, multi-year revenue visibility. The bulk of revenue conversion from these new wins is scheduled to kick in from FY28.
Consolidated Operations at Manesar
The mega mechatronics facility at Manesar is slated for commissioning in 3QFY27. This facility will consolidate four joint ventures—Yokowo, Alps Alpine, Ituran, and FAE—under a single roof, unlocking massive operational synergies, resource optimization, and cost efficiencies.
Regulatory Tailwinds (Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication)
With draft government notifications calling for mandatory Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems by October 2028, demand for Telematics, RFID, and Electronic Control Units (ECUs) is set to surge. LATL is currently in the process of confirming RFID and telematics orders from all top 4 Commercial Vehicle (CV) OEMs.
Summary Thesis
With low inventory levels across OEMs signalling strong wholesale volume trends ahead, LATL combines near-term execution strength with long-term structural tailwinds. Expanding content per vehicle, margin improvement potential, and consolidated mechatronics capabilities make it a top-tier pick in the auto ancillary space.
