Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to Q4 FY '23 Earnings Conference Call of Fiem Industries Limited, hosted by Monarch Networth Capital. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference is being recorded.

This conference call may contain forward-looking statements about the company, which are based on the beliefs, opinions and expectations of the company as on the date of this call. These statements are not the guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Sahil Sanghvi from Monarch Networth Capital. Thank you, and over to you.

Sahil Sanghvi

Thank you, [ Yashshree ]. Good evening, everyone. On behalf of Monarch Networth Capital, I welcome you all to the Q4 and FY '23 Conference Call of Fiem Industries Limited. We'll start the call with the initial comment about the results and the future outlook of the company and then we'll open the floor for question-and-answers. So without much delay now I hand over the call to Mr. J.K. Jain, Chairman and MD of the company. Over to you, sir.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Thank you. Good afternoon to everyone, and welcome to FY '23 Earnings Call of Fiem Industries. Joining me on today's call are Rahul Jain, Director; Rajesh Sharma, Director; Arvind Chauhan, Company Secretary; O.P. Gupta, CFO; and other members of the finance team.

I would like to introduce Mr. Vineet Sahni who has joined us as Director and CEO. Vineet Sahni has a vast experience of over 35 years in the automotive industries. He will be driving the company growth strategy in the 4-wheeler segment. The results and the investor presentation for FY '23 have been made available on the both the stock exchange and the company website. I hope everyone has had a chance to review the same.

FY '23 has been a year of recovery and transformation of the Indian economy. Despite number of challenges, including financial sector, inflation and geopolitical issues, Indian economy has demonstrated its strength and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with a growth rate of 7% in FY '23.

This growth has been driven by a number of facts, including the recovery in domestic demand and the government's focus on infrastructure development. The 2-wheeler industries also posted a year-on-year growth of 9.8% in production volumes and 17.7% in domestic sale volumes.

The 2-wheeler segment is the best suited to meet the country's mobility demand. And thus, I believe the industries will sustain a double-digit CAGR in the long term.

Now let me shift my attention to the operating performance of the Fiem Industries. I am pleased to share that the company's revenue for the full year FY '23 have grown by 18%, EBITDA by 28% and the profit after tax by 46%. We have a very strong balance sheet and are well positioned for growth. Our EV customer base continues to grow and we have now have 28 customers in this segment.

While the EV industry has seen some slowdown due to the recent FAME subsidiary challenges, the long-term growth remains intact and we are committed to supporting our customers in these transactions. I am also pleased to share that Fiem has entered into an agreement with Gogoro India to expand its product portfolio in the 2-wheeler EV segment.

As you are aware, Gogoro India is a group company of Gogoro Taiwan, which is Taiwan's largest EV 2-wheeler manufacturer and is a world leader in battery swapping technology. As a part of this agreement, in addition to our existing lighting and rearview mirror business, we also plan to gradually indigenize in phased manner, the hub motor assembly and motor control units.

Gogoro will provide this technology -- technical know-how and other support in setting up the manufacturing facilities as well as production, quality and testing support for the above new product lines. This will significantly enhance our per vehicle content to INR 15,000 to INR 18,000. In addition, this opens up a new electronic segment for Fiem, which can provide significant growth and new opportunities in future. This tie-up demonstrates Fiem's leadership in EV segment and the confidence that its manufacturing and technical abilities enjoy the global customers. We thus are well positioned for growth in FY '24.

With this, I hand over to our -- Mr. O.P. Gupta and the finance team to update on operational performance. Thank you.

O
O. Gupta
executive

Thank you, sir. Good afternoon to everyone. First, I will present the Q4 numbers. After which, I will cover the full year FY '23. The company has registered quarterly sales of INR 432.84 crores in Q4 of FY '23 as compared to INR 483.52 crore over same quarter last year.

This decline is due to a 25% drop in production volume of our key customer, Honda. The EBITDA in Q4 was INR 60.21 crores translating into an EBITDA margin of 13.91% as compared to INR 62.78 crores over same quarter last year with EBITDA margin of 12.98%.

The PAT of the company has also increased to INR 38.05 crore as compared to INR 32 crore in quarter 4 of FY '22, representing an increase of 18.9%.

Now I will briefly cover the number of full financial year '22-'23. During FY '23, the company has achieved net sales of INR 1,834 crore as compared to INR 1,558 crore in FY '22, representing a growth of 17.7%. EBITDA stood at INR 247.85 crore being 13.51% as compared to INR 193.45 crore being 12.42% during FY '22. This is a jump of over 28%, driven by higher sales.

PAT of the company stood at INR 139.63 crore as compared to INR 95.26 crore during FY '22, which is higher by 46.5%. I am happy to report that we are a debt-free company. During the year, the company has made a CapEx of INR 54 crores. As you are aware, the company has been consistently declaring higher dividend every year. In line with the same, I am also pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors have recommended a final dividend of INR 30 per share for FY '22-'23.

With this, I end the financial brief and now the floor is open for question-and-answers. Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have our first question from the line of Aashin Modi from Equirus.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

Congratulations on a great set of results. Sir, my first question is regarding this Gogoro agreement. Could you please provide us with some time lines on this? And what sort of a value addition will we do? And if you could tell us what sort of a customer base we target, what sort of a -- in terms of revenue addition do we target from here?

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Rajesh.

U
Unknown Executive

I think, Mr. Rajesh Sharma is actually in Tokyo. He'll take the question on... Rajesh, go ahead please.

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

Yes. As Mr. Jain has already covered in his speech about Gogoro product line, what we did is because we have already developed the automotive lighting, especially headlamp, taillamp and blinker for their 2 models that will be exclusive for India as well as export market. Further on, the partnership, which is being defined that is for hub motor assembly, motor controller and ECU. These are the 3 components for which we have already started the assemblies and might be in August, this production line will be started to a ramp-up condition.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

Okay. Okay, sir. And sir, my next question is on the order book. We had said that last quarter order book was around INR 850 crores, INR 900-odd crores. So if you could tell us how much is the new orders? And how do you see the ramp-up of this order book in the next 2, 3 years?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. So the order book is actually around INR 950 crores today and it's ramping up well. There is -- we've mentioned that we have close to 28 customers in the EV segment alone, where there is a lot of work happening. So overall -- and this is over and above the existing customer plus we have -- we are beginning with Hero Group as well, which we've informed here in the past. So overall, the order book is very healthy.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

And sir, could you tell us how this would ramp up in the next 2, 3 years? We are talking about adding 3 new models of Yamaha and also starting with Hero. So if you could tell us how it will shape up in FY '24 -'25? New order...

U
Unknown Executive

So specific numbers, we won't be able to give you. But overall direction, we are giving you the new customers that have been added and specifically with regards to Hero and the EV segment, which are new. But -- and overall guidance we've given in terms of the order.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Basically, we are very bullish on that.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

Okay. So we expect to outperform the industry by 10%, 15% in the next 2, 3 years?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. That we have always maintained that we will outperform the industry given our diversified mix that outperformance, we [indiscernible]

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

And sir, our LED contribution this quarter increased to 60%, 65% so was it because of the customer mix, which changed? And what sort of a number do we see in FY '24 and '25, LED mix in the whole lighting piece?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. So this LED is 56% in quarter 4, this is, as you rightly said, this is because of mix of customer sales. But on overall year basis, this is 49%.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

And what sort of a expectation do you have for -- based on our orders in '24 and '25?

U
Unknown Executive

So as we already -- in last calls also, we already said that in next 2, 3 years, it will be increasing and near to 60% will be very soon.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

75%.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. So it is on increasing trend.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

Okay, sir. And sir, on the margins front, our margins have continuously improved, so could you give us some sort of a guidance on what sort of a margin do we expect going forward?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. So I think in the earlier past, we were, I think, more towards 12.5%, 13%, but I think the recent performance you've seen this quarter has been exceptional in terms of margin but from guidance perspective, we would like to maintain around 13.5% as we go forward.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

And sir, lastly, so we have added Vineet sir to our team. So what sort of a ramp-up in 4-wheeler do we see? What sort of a technology addition do we need? And how much time will you take if you want to venture into 4-wheeler?

V
Vineet Sahni
executive

Yes. Thank you for the question, Vineet this side. I have just joined in. And I am bullish about the trends in 4-wheeler industry. We have started knocking the doors. Too early to say anything on this but we are very positive in this direction. And we will get a good customer response because of my experience and old relationship with the customer.

Operator

We have our next question from the line of Piyush Jain from [indiscernible] Wealth Management.

U
Unknown Analyst

My question is also on the similar lines on the earlier participant asked. First, I wanted to understand what is the size of opportunity which we are seeing with the partnership of Gogoro? And what type of margin this business will have and what type of CapEx requirement will be there? Second, what is our capacity utilization and as -- with Vineet sir, penetration which we'll be able to get some 4-wheeler customer? Then is there any further CapEx will be required to ramp-up the -- for 4-wheeler requirements?

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Yes. Basically, with regard to the Gogoro, we are just starting and we have informed earlier. So as soon as, we'll be start by August onwards. So basically, it will be -- initially, it is going to be CKD and which we are going to indigenize in a phased manner. So that is what about it.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. And on your specific question around numbers or CapEx, let me just state that Gogoro, as you know, in India, they are focusing around the B2B segment significantly. And there is a large opportunity there. So I think all of these are something which will evolve over the next couple of months. And then there will be a joint -- there will be investment around it but it is early to comment on that. But we see a very large market opportunity.

U
Unknown Analyst

But any ballpark -- any estimate, something because generally in automobiles, whenever we are tying up with any new customers, something, we need to do some CapEx also. Is there any CapEx also requirement which we need to do for this motors...

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, there is definitely CapEx that is happening as we speak but those are not significant numbers. What will happen is that this will ramp up to a large number, which is what we are finalizing.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

No, we are in the process. We are estimating this. We'll come back to you in the next quarter on this.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And this will be similar to the margin currently Fiem Industries is doing or it could be on the higher or lower side?

U
Unknown Executive

Similar margins, as such.

U
Unknown Analyst

Similar. Okay. And the next 2. The other question was on 4-wheeler. Again, for that business also, do we need to do any CapEx or our facility is still enough to achieve some X number of the revenue?

V
Vineet Sahni
executive

This is Vineet this side again. See, it is too early to decide on CapEx because 4-wheeler, as you know, is a long lead time business. First, you need to get orders and you have to develop a product. So we are working out our strategy. At appropriate time, we will keep you updated.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. So can we get this data? Like currently, we have closed this year around INR 1,850 crore turnover, without CapEx, [indiscernible] capacity, how much is the turnover we can achieve in next 1 or 2 years? Or what is our -- right now facility can we deliver, what type of number?

U
Unknown Executive

So our current capacity, our estimate is that this can easily -- our current capacity can take us to INR 2,300 crore to INR 2,400 crore turnover, that ballpark figure. But that is also variable. It really depends on the product composition. And with the LED content also going up, all of that could mean a higher turnover as well. But organical growth, we are well positioned. We have enough capacity to take care of that. But all the new initiatives that we are talking about, though they will require some CapEx but those are things which are being crystallized, as we speak.

U
Unknown Analyst

And what is our current EV percentage share on the overall top line?

U
Unknown Executive

It's still 5%-or-so.

U
Unknown Analyst

So have you seen any demand subdued with respect to -- because there's lot of things going on with respect to FAME subsidy and all. So have we seen any truncated schedule or something or some subdued demand on the EV spend side?

U
Unknown Executive

So it's been customer specific. There have been some customers which have been impacted significantly and there are other customers who have gone up. And so from that perspective, if you look at between FY '22 and '23, the EV sale has gone up by 2.5x, 250% but there is some impact on a few customers, which you are all aware of.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And the last question from my side. Are you supplying for TVS iQube specifically or we are not supplying for that model?

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Yes. We are under development. And I hope in the next few months, our supplies will start with iQube.

U
Unknown Analyst

And sir, earlier also we have given some guidance that we will be starting some 2, 3 models for Hero. So any development on that front, when we will or already started...

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. Hero, 1 model -- 1 product is already started. And last month, further on the new model, which is being launched by Hero that will be started from August first week.

U
Unknown Analyst

This is ICE or...

U
Unknown Executive

Sorry?

U
Unknown Analyst

This is IC engine model or EV model?

U
Unknown Executive

These are all IC engines. EV model is under development right now. EV model will be soon launched by end of this year.

U
Unknown Analyst

For that also Fiem will be the partner?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And last question. This Harley-Davidson and in Yamaha how much we did in the full year FY '23 as compared to '22?

U
Unknown Executive

See, for -- you are asking about 2 specific customers, right, Harley-Davidson and Yamaha?

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes.

U
Unknown Executive

Just 1 minute. So for the full year Yamaha is approximately INR 280 crores, which is 15.3% of our revenue -- of our sales and Harley-Davidson is INR 38.15 crore.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. Any significant ramp-up is expected in Harley-Davidson?

U
Unknown Executive

No. As of now...

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

There is...

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, Rajesh ji, please continue.

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

Yes. There will be growth but not significantly because the models and volumes are not so high. We are exporting from here to U.S. as well as to Thailand and those models are all high -- higher CC models.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. Just last thing, do we have a different margin in export business as compared to domestic business or margin trajectory is the same in -- whether it's Harley-Davidson or Hero or TVS?

U
Unknown Executive

They are same.

U
Unknown Executive

These are same.

U
Unknown Analyst

Great set of number and continue, we are delivering the great set of numbers. Congratulations and all the best for the future.

U
Unknown Executive

Thank you very much.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have our next question from the line of [ Swarnashish Chatterjee ] from Asterix Capital.

U
Unknown Analyst

Am I audible?

Operator

Yes.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, please go ahead.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Yes, go ahead.

U
Unknown Analyst

I have 2 questions. One is regarding the Hero. So we are supposed to ramp-up from quarter 1, so what kind of contribution Hero should give Fiem this financial year?

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Yes. As informed earlier, we have just started -- so we are very bullish that the things will be very good in -- going to the future because already 3 projects are with us. So future will be very bright.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And my other question is regarding the new tie up, regarding the hub motor, ECU, NCU. Shall we see revenue in next financial year, I mean FY '25?

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

This is for hub motor and motor controller?

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes, yes.

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

Yes, we can see this revenue in next year. .

U
Unknown Analyst

Next means, financial year '25?

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

Yes.

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes. Okay. And another thing is, as Vineet sir has joined from Lumax, is there any chance we can have a talk with Bajaj also?

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Can you...

U
Unknown Executive

Can you come again, please? Your voice is not clear.

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes. My question is, Vineet sir has joined from Lumax. So that is only to penetrate the 4-wheeler industry or we can have a talk with Bajaj also for supplying?

V
Vineet Sahni
executive

So the responsibility will be overall growth of Fiem that is my responsibility and with a special focus on 4-wheeler industry because that will require special efforts from our side.

Operator

We have our next question from the line of Darshil Pandya from Finterest Capital.

D
Darshil Pandya
analyst

Sir, I just wanted to understand how is June quarter looking like. As you know, historically, it has been a bit of weak quarter.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, please excuse us. We are talking about the year ending, which is last year, not the current quarter. It will be appropriate time to talk about this quarter in only on the con-call of next month.

D
Darshil Pandya
analyst

Okay. No, I'm just asking as to how the quarter has been going, that's all.

U
Unknown Executive

No, that means same thing. Please excuse us.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have our next question from the line of Sahil Sanghvi from Monarch Networth Capital.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

Congratulations for good set of numbers. So my first question is regarding the reasons for margins crossing 13%, 13.5% again. So is this just because of scale efficiencies and I mean, utilization efficiencies? Or is there any other reason why you get to clock such margin?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, you rightly pointed out. But the main reason is we got escalation from -- for previous quarter from -- that is also the reason of this increased margin.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

You mean price escalations, right?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, yes.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

Okay. Okay. And what is the direction moving ahead? I mean, will we see some price correction going ahead or will we further have price escalation?

U
Unknown Executive

See, we maintained 13.5% margin. So this already -- we -- means we already shared this kind of guidance.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

Right, right, sir. And second question is to Vineet sir. Congratulations sir on your new responsibility now. I just wanted to understand, sir, what is required for us to break in into the 4-wheeler industry, sir? I mean I believe these, I mean, the way these things work out is, there is a long relationship that has been developed. So how do we aim to break in, in this industry?

V
Vineet Sahni
executive

Yes. So that's a good question and thank you for welcoming me. See, as you said, 4-wheeler requires a particular strategy. All of us at Fiem are working on that strategy. We are clear to make roadways into -- inroads into these customers. And we are also getting positive response from them. So we are working on technology, on the relationship, on the partnerships, so there are various routes we are working on to make headway into 4-wheeler industry.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

Right, sir. Right, sir. My third question is regarding the CapEx guidance for FY '24. So we had CapEx in one of our plants. Are we going ahead with that CapEx, INR 60 crores, INR 70 crores that we wanted to spend in one of our plants?

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. Over the next 18 months, we expect INR 75 crore to INR 100 crore CapEx that is likely. And that is part of some regular expansions related to clients plus other capacity enhancements. So this doesn't include anything else, whether it's 4-wheelers and others, which is all work in process.

S
Sahil Sanghvi
analyst

Right, right. And my last question is, previously in the, start of the call, we were told that we will start some production for Gogoro in August. So that means we could garner some revenues in FY '24 itself? Just to get...

U
Unknown Executive

Yes, this -- means, August onwards the supply will start, so definitely, there will be some realization.

Operator

We have our next question from the line of Krishna from Niveshaay.

U
Unknown Analyst

Yes. Congratulations on our great numbers. So as the previous participant was asking on the CapEx. Previously in one of the calls, we had guided that we are doing -- we would be doing about INR 50 crore, INR 60 crore CapEx that can give us a asset turnover of 6x. So is it the same CapEx we are talking about or it's a new CapEx?

U
Unknown Executive

No, I don't know. I mean, we have never said that we are doing the INR 65 crore CapEx. But actually, that was the estimation we given, that's next 24 months, our CapEx estimate is around INR 75 crore to INR 100 crore. As far as asset turnover -- yes, it is always based on the full growth flow, not on specific CapEx.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And asset turnover, you were telling about, what can we expect...

U
Unknown Executive

It is same 2x.

U
Unknown Analyst

2x.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. And sir, I joined the call a bit later. So if you've already answered, you can skip it. So what's your view on the current electric 2-wheeler market because of the subsidies [ ban ] and everything?

U
Unknown Executive

So what is happening in the market, you are seeing that there is some amount of issues regarding FAME subsidy challenges. It has impacted...

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

EV segment.

U
Unknown Executive

EV segment. It has impacted a few customers significantly. Some of the others are still going ahead. So we -- our belief is that these are all short-term blips. I think eventually EV industry is here. It is growing. It is serving a certain customer need. So there is going to be growth and a significant growth. So that -- as you look at it in the next 18 months context, it is not going to be relevant. These challenges will come and go, is what our belief.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have our next question from the line of [ Sriram R. ], an individual investor.

U
Unknown Attendee

I have 2 questions. One, on the industry side. I mean, like, in -- if I look back in FY '14, we did about [ 1.5 crore ] of volumes. And today, we are at [ 1.58 crore ]. So I mean, for the past -- the last decade, 2-wheeler industry has been stagnant. So I just want your views on what is going to be the demand driver for the industry as such, whether it's electric or ICE, what would be the growth engine?

And my second question is on the new unit which is going to come up for the EV business, where will it be, I mean, the location of the unit, just want to know.

U
Unknown Executive

So on the industry front, you're absolutely right. The wheeler industry has gone through some stress. We are still 20% to 25% lower than the peak industry volumes, which were there pre-COVID. So we haven't got there. The reasons that the number over the last couple of years, be it COVID, be it the safety measures, which were there, which has increased the cost of input, I mean, the final product but all of that seems to be now coming together.

And what we see is that over the next couple of years, this growth is going to be there. The fact that we are still below those peak industry volumes means there is a long way ahead for us. So we think, as we mentioned also, double-digit industry growth seems very possible. And in fact, the industry could surprise at the upside because there is enough availability of finance, vehicle demand is coming back. So all the ingredients are there for the industry to do well.

Within that, EV will also be a driver. But if you look at the overall industry, volume, first that has to grow and EV will continue to take some share out of it. So we think that next couple of years, we should see robust demand at the industry level. And the other question was related specifically to Gogoro, you were asking or where...

U
Unknown Attendee

Gogoro.

U
Unknown Executive

Like location of factory.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Location, Rajesh?

R
Rajesh Sharma
executive

It will be in Maharashtra.

U
Unknown Executive

No, no, they are talking about our location. So we will be expanding our facilities in Tapukara plant only.

J
Jagjeevan Jain
executive

Yes.

U
Unknown Attendee

Okay. Okay. And sir, just on the industry side, I mean, like what is giving you that confidence for the double-digit industry growth? I mean, where are the green shoots? Just want some pointers on that. I understand that you're expecting a rebound in volumes but that is fine. But just want to understand where you're coming from.

U
Unknown Executive

Yes. So first is, you see what the industry has done over the last 1 year. I mean a 17.5% domestic volume because what you are seeing is, the export market is still being hit. So which is why you see the production volume still moderate, right? But domestic volumes are picking up. The rural side, which is a large constituent and you could look at segments like MFIs, you could look at some of the others, all the rural demand seem to be stacking up well for this segment. And the financing is available.

And in the past, there have been several changes regarding BS-IV, BS-V and BS-VI and all the norms which were being put up, which increase the cost of the vehicle. I think that is also being moderated. So on the ground, a couple of quarters here and there, we do see those blips all the time. Last quarter, from a industry perspective was not so great. But as we look 12, 18 months, we feel that the volume should grow.

Operator

We have our next question from the line of [ Swarnashish Chatterjee ] from Asterix Capital.

U
Unknown Analyst

Sir, the Gogoro production is going to start from August but will that be pilot production and we will need approval from EV OEMs, only then the commercial production will start?

U
Unknown Executive

No, this -- the homologation and all, whatever regulatory requirement, is already completed. So August will be ramp-up only. Of course, it will be not a mass production but ramp-up plan will be there. And slowly [Technical Difficulty]

Operator

We have our next question from the line of Smit Shah from Monarch Networth Capital.

S
Smit Shah
analyst

Sir, can you please share the wallet share of our key customers for FY '23?

U
Unknown Executive

So this is -- this we share for our top 4 customers. And this is on yearly basis. So for FY '23, this is for TVS headlamp is 68%, taillamp is 86%, blinker is 85%, rearview mirror is 62% and DRL, we are 100% and license lamp, 95%.

For Yamaha, our headlamp share is 83%, taillamp is 63%, blinker is 10% and rearview mirror is 82%. Yamaha position lamp, we are 50%.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have our next question from the line of Aashin Modi from Equirus.

A
Aashin Modi
analyst

Sir, I just had 1 question. We mentioned that our key customer HMSI is facing some production issues. Could you please highlight what is the situation currently? And if you know when it is expected to normalize?

U

Yes. Okay. So see, there are a lot of ethics and policies, which work with our customers. So it is not changed at vendor. So there's lot of investment that happens in consultation with our customer.

Moreover, the tooling belongs to the customers. So unless there is a big problem with the manufacturer, then only in that case, some changes can take place. So basically, it depends on QC BBN, as long as you are there or you meet all the parameters, there is no threat to the company.

U

Quality, cost, delivery, development and management. they are the key parameters and our organization is very equipped for meeting these requirements. So we continue to grow with our customers.
