I am pleased that our 100% made-in-India electric axles have received a positive response from our customers. The quarter’s performance was in line with our expectations, and we are confident to begin the next year on a promising note. Our focus will be on EVs in the coming days, wherein we will be extensively making two-and three-wheeler chassis and complete gearboxes. This quarter, we have won a new order from our existing customer, Carraro, with a business potential of 7-8 crores per annum and have commenced supplies. KEL continues to work with its customers to overcome the ongoing challenges and grow profitably.”
