Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to Schaeffler India Limited's Q1 CY '22 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference is being recorded.

I now hand the conference over to Ms. Gauri Kanikar from Schaeffler India Limited. Thank you, and over to you, ma'am.

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. We have with us from the management, Mr. Harsha Kadam, our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Satish Patel, our Director of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kadam will first take us through a short presentation of the results, after which we open the floor for questions. Thank you, and over to you, Mr. Kadam.

Hello. Good morning, Satish Patel here.

Harsha Kadam

Yes. A very warm welcome to the Schaeffler India Limited's Earnings Conference Call for the first quarter ended 31st March 2022. Our investor presentation is already uploaded on the stock exchanges and the website for your ready reference. So then I'll take you through the presentation. I'm currently on the first slide. And I would like to move to the next slide, talk a little bit about the economy and the industry, then the business highlights for the first quarter of 2022, and the financial highlights for the first quarter 2022.

Moving on, I would like to talk a little on the economy and the industry. And for the calendar year '21, the GDP growth is expected to be in the range of 8%. However, this needs to be seen with all the challenges that we are now looking at the global events, the inflationary pressures that are coming in as well in the country and also the supply chain getting disrupted due to various global events across the globe.

So looking at the index of industrial production, it has registered a growth of 13.7% for the period from April '21 to Jan '22. As compared to a degrowth of 12% over the same period last year due to the limited impact of the third wave of the pandemic that we all went through. The escalations of the geopolitical conflict and the accompanying sanctions also have had major impact on the global economic activities. Not to mention, of course, the inflation and supply chain pressures, which are rising amidst the heightened volatility. Overall, headwinds on these fronts, including the uncertainty about the pandemic's trajectory is leading to a muted economic environment. However, what we see in India with the government's push towards infrastructure and some of these key sectors is expected to boost the core sector performance.

I would like to move now to the next slide, which will talk a little bit about the core sector performance and cement as a sector, which is weighing in about 5.4% in the core sector. Index has grown by about 9.6% when compared to the same period last year. The steel sector with a weight of about 17.9% to the index has grown marginally by over 4% as compared to the same period last year. Coal production in the country is up by about 7.5% and the energy generation in India is up about 2.4% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

Now the core sector performance improved on a year-on-year basis because of the low base effect and the high contributions from steel, cement and the natural gas sector. However, the risk of weakness remains on account of the surging commodity prices and elevated freight costs. Talking about the automotive sector performance, I move to the next slide. And here, what you see on the next slide is the 2-wheeler segment, which continues to be impacted as we entered into 2022. The production for the month of Jan and February was just about [ 3 million ] with a degrowth of close to 21% when compared to the same period last year. This was mainly due to the stress in demand from the rural side as well as on the semi-urban economies as well.

Talking of commercial vehicles, we have seen a very strong uptick in the demand there in the production numbers as well. And we see commercial vehicles continue on the growth trajectory. On the -- obviously, on account of the government's consistent effort in terms of structural and infrastructural reforms, which is definitely pushing up the demand in the fleet utilization levels as well. Now this segment has registered a robust growth of 24%, with close to 175,000 units being manufactured within the first 2 months of the year, while passenger vehicles, as you can see grew marginally, with just about 3%.

But we continue to see the production ramp-up being affected due to the existing semiconductor and the chip shortages, which are still prevalent in the auto industry as such. Talk of tractors, and we see that the agricultural tractors, the production numbers are significantly down when compared to the same period last year. The delayed monsoons impacting cash flows and also the stress on the rural economy, coupled with the higher base effect of the previous year are some of the major attributable reasons that we see.

So with all this, let me now take you through how did the quarter go by for us. To summarize now, I'm pleased to share that in spite of the headwinds that we faced, we were able to consistently deliver our top line and the bottom line performance for this quarter as well. And our revenues for the quarter stood at INR 15,675 million, which is a clear 19% growth when compared to the same period last year, and 2.9% when compared to the preceding quarter. Now this was matched by the continuous business wins in the automotive technologies and also the industrial space. Some of the business wins, particularly in the clutch applications going into the commercial vehicles, we have been able to leverage and start supplies in the quarter, and that has helped to hold up the automotive technologies performances.

Industrial business, although some of the segments we did see the growth momentum, but some sectors definitely were let down, considering the fact the 2-wheelers, which -- and off-roads, which we also sell products through the industrial business did not do well that had an impact on the industrial business performance. Not to mention, of course, the wind, a couple of our customers also had challenges on their export business, which dampened the demand in the first quarter, resulting in almost a flat growth rate in industrial business for us. So having said that, when one were to look at on the growth comes from, we did very well on our exports business and the growth momentum continued in our export business in this quarter, which has helped to post pretty good top line performance as well.

EBIT margins for the quarter was at 16.6% as compared to 13% for the first quarter of the current year, growing almost 360 bps on a year-on-year basis. Now we were able to deliver resilient margins during the quarter due to some of the continued focus on the countermeasures that we had already deployed also coupled with our improved business mix with exports coming in stronger in the first quarter that helped us to post better EBIT margins than the previous quarter's -- preceding quarter as well.

Now our profit after tax margin for the quarter was at 13.2% as compared to 10.6% for the same period last year. And for the quarter, the profit after tax stood at INR 207 crores. Coming to free cash flow for the quarter. It was down mainly due to an increase in the working capital and higher CapEx spend. Now the free cash flow for the quarter was at INR 208 million compared to -- a negative INR 208 million compared to INR 1,842 million in the same period last year. We remain focused on our capital management strategy going forward for this year as well.

Now during the quarter, Schaeffler India also was included in the Production Linked Incentive Scheme and that has been one of the important milestones that we achieved in the quarter. We have been chosen under the Component Champion Incentive Scheme. And the inclusion in this scheme will help us in the creation of economies of scale and robust supply chain in the areas of advanced automotive technology products, helping us to gain a competitive edge and drive export capacity as well.

So we believe that the PLI Scheme approval will be a catalyst for our mission of advancing conventional mobility as well as the e-mobility towards sustainable mobility solutions going forward. Now as you must note that during the year, Schaeffler India also embarked on the structured journey of ESG and has already made significant progress in the reduction of the carbon footprint. Now we will continue to lead ahead in building a responsible organization for tomorrow and ultimately, some of our customers, particularly John Deere in particular, if I may take, clearly appreciated the steps Schaeffler India Limited was taking in the direction of moving towards carbon neutrality and they awarded us with a sustainability award earlier this year.

The award recognized us for the reduction in carbon footprint and also our commitment towards addressing other sustainability targets that we are clearly focusing on, and we will continue our efforts in the direction of sustainable manufacturing and sustainable business as well. As we move ahead, we are cautious of the constantly changing external environment. And with the rising inflation and uncertainty surrounding -- that is surrounding the environment due to the ongoing geopolitical developments, both in the East and the West. We tread cautiously going forward as well in business.

I'll move to the next slide, some of the new business wins that I talked about already, I shared about that we have been nominated and we have started supplies on some of the clutch application business for the automotive technologies, clearly addressing the BSX requirement as well as moving forward the business wins that we have secured in the wheel bearing and the clutch applications. Talking about the automotive aftermarket, we introduced another product in the quarter, the wipers for the passenger vehicle segment. And the business wins for the front-end auxiliary drive the timing kit for passenger vehicle segments also another product that we brought to the market.

Talk about range extension and penetration, we will continue on this journey on the automotive aftermarket as well. Coming into the industrial share gain, we did gain some significant wins, particularly on our spherical roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings and taper rollers in the off-road sector. And a few on the industrial automation segment, the slewing ring business that we have secured as well as some in the raw material sector, which are key to the industrial sectoral performance as such.

So to talk in detail about our performance, I move to the next slide, which will give us the business highlights for the first quarter. Now coming into this slide, our Q1 performance, as you can see, the automotive technologies contributed close to about 39% of our revenues, as you can see on the pie chart. And the industrial business had a contribution of over 37%, leaving the exports, which inched up to 16% and automotive aftermarket stayed at about 8%.

Now we talk of a very good balance between the auto and the industrial, and this is exactly what you see here coming out strongly for us which weathers well for us on a very highly volatile market situation. So looking at the numbers, what you see, the first quarter we were able to post INR 15,675 million, which was a clear 2.9% over the preceding quarter, and then 19% over the same quarter last year. And the contribution within the first quarter performance clearly, automotive technologies, which was -- which grew almost 6.1% over the last year same quarter. Automotive aftermarket grew 15.5% over Q1 of 2021 and industrial performed 21.7%.

Export, as you can see, was a phenomenal growth for us at about 61.4% better than the same quarter last year. So exports continues to hold up the numbers for us as well. And when you look at the bridge, the contributions that are coming across the bridge below clearly explains the split between the business areas between Q1 '21 and the Q1 2022.

Talking about on a quarter-on-quarter basis, the growth momentum continued. The automotive technologies and even the e-mobilities, which contribute about 3% of our sales. While we continue to invest on the future mobility solutions and also augment our R&D competencies, also trying to bring in the Schaeffler knowledge and the group know-how into India. We see that the industrial business, the growth remains flat for us during the quarter mainly due to the demand -- lower demand coming in from wind, which I already talked about, the 2-wheelers and the off-road segment, which actually pulled down the industrial part of our business.

So the first quarter is seasonally weak for the automotive aftermarket business coming on the back of a high last quarter performance. And this, coupled with a higher base effect, which was already there in Q4, as you know. However, we are confident on gaining the traction here helped by our focused efforts and also the launch of the new products, which we will continue to sustain plus the network expansion, which we clearly have on our strategy plans and also work on improving the effectiveness of our distribution.

And with that, we have come to the -- we move to the next slide, talking about the earnings quality and the EBIT for the first quarter was INR 260.2 crores, bringing in an EBIT margin 16.6%, which was a clear 6.2% over the preceding quarter, and 52.4% better than the same quarter last year. Having talked about it, as you can see, the EBIT bridge below explains the split on where did the margins come from. And clearly, the sales growth brought in the additional margins that we have had and other countermeasures that we have put in place and sustained cost control measures, which we continue to push for have helped us to get to an EBIT margin of 16.6% in the first quarter.

Having said that, the profit after tax, as you can see, has -- profit after tax was at 13.2% as you can see here, which is clearly an 8.6% better than the preceding quarter, and 48.4% better than the same quarter last year. Having said that, let me move on now to talk a little bit about the working capital management. And clearly, what it tells here is the quarter had a tactical increase in our inventory levels obviously riding on the back of market slowdown, the demand going down. So inventory levels did go up and -- but this is definitely going to help us to also improve our service levels going forward throughout. This was one of the major reasons that the working capital being higher for the quarter at INR 11,413 million, and at 19.9% of sales was definitely higher when compared to the preceding quarters of the last year as such.

So our CapEx spending, obviously, in the quarter 1 was definitely stronger when compared to the last year Q1, as you can see. And we have inched up from 3.3 percentage of sales last year to a 4.8 percentage of sales in terms of our CapEx investment, which certainly is a clear direction that we are focusing in growing more and more our exports. We did have a small setback on the free cash flow, though, for the first quarter, which is more to do with the timing issue and the working capital that have increased as well. So as you can see, while the first quarter we posted a negative INR 208 million, but we are confident coming into the second quarter that this will get reversed as well.

So let me now move to the next slide, which is going to throw some light on the key performance indicators and a quick snapshot on some of the performance for your reference, as you can see. So revenue for the quarter stood at INR 15,675 million, which is clearly a growth of 19% on a year-on-year basis and 2.9% on a quarter-on-quarter basis. Having said that, the EBITDA for the quarter was INR 3,107 million, and the EBITDA margin for the quarter was at 16.6% compared to the 16.6% of Q1 and a 19.4% of Q4 2021. So the EBIT for the quarter was at INR 260 crores, and the EBIT margin for the quarter stood 19 -- sorry, am I right here?

S
Satish Patel
executive

EBITDA 19.8%.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

19.8% as compared to -- yes, and the EBIT stood at 13% -- sorry, the EBIT stood at 16.6% for the quarter. So the profit after tax for the quarter was at 13.2%. And clearly, we have been able to deliver reasonably good results in spite of the major headwinds that we faced during the quarter. So moving on, I would like to touch upon a little bit on our consistently improving disclosures and transparencies in terms of our annual reporting as well. So we at Schaeffler India have started on the journey of integrated reporting in 2019. And this is our third edition and we will continue on the path of building a more comprehensive integrated reports in the coming years, too.

Now the report is guided by the IR framework issued by the erstwhile International Integrated Reporting Council, which is now The Value Reporting Foundation. Now to inform our stakeholders on all aspects of our business, we have introduced certain key elements of the IR framework in the report, and we will continue to add more such elements to reporting in our future editions. Now I would also like to inform you that the online report is now live in our website along with the PDF report, which was earlier uploaded and we are progressively moving in the direction of reporting and disclosing our efforts -- sustained efforts towards addressing all the 6 capitals that are required to be reported as well.

Having said that, I come to -- now to the last slide of my presentation and in summary. So as you can see, the quarter gone by, our portfolio extension initiatives and key businesses contributed positively during the quarter. And our margins were backed by our constant focus on the deployed countermeasures and a balanced business mix as well. So we are on track with our CapEx strategy as we have already invested close to INR 75 crores in the quarter and the focus will remain on delivering our financial and operating metrics as expected. I'm also happy to share that we enter 2022 on a positive note, and the first quarter has started off well for us. However, we are treading here cautiously as we move ahead, given the current global events, the rising inflation and supply chain disruptions.

Well, I come to the end of my presentation now. And with this, I now open the floor for questions.

[Operator Instructions]

Our first question is from the line of Shyam Sundar Sriram from Sundaram Mutual Fund.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

And many congratulations on the very impressive results for the same. Sir, my first question is on the export front. We had outlined INR 1,000 crores CapEx to be spent over 3 years. We are also hearing the Schaeffler parent shifting some of the lines to India per se, and even the last call, you had spoken about that India could be a sole supplier for some of the product lines therein. Just wanted to get a sense from you how much of this INR 1,000 crore CapEx is earmarked for exports so that would give us some directional trajectory in terms of where we are headed in terms of the exports per se?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Thank you, Shyam Sundar, for the question. As regards to your question about how much of the total CapEx earmarked for exports, yes, we have announced that we would spend about INR 1,000 crores in 3 years, which is 2021 to 2024 on CapEx. Last year, we spent INR 200 crores. This year we are planning to spend over INR 400 crores, and over INR 400 crores also would be spent next year, that is 2023.

Now as far as allocation of this CapEx between different segments is concerned, for us, it's very difficult to allot a figure to exports. Reason being quite a significant portion of this CapEx is going for the plant expansion, infrastructure, construction of buildings, as well as acquisition of some land for our new plant. And these plants are going to house the products, both for domestic as well as export requirements. Relocated lines from other parts of Schaeffler world to India is the CapEx in the nature of plant and machinery, and there is additional investment for CapEx towards exports for the new machineries and the equipment.

So it's very difficult to allot a number there. But yes, we are increasing the share of the CapEx spend on exports or towards exports. The reason being the growth in export is and we said as part of our strategy, what revenue that you see in the quarter in terms of exports is likely to sustain also for the future. We have relocation of the products, and we have also increasing demand from the other parts of Schaeffler world. So therefore, this area is going to remain in focus. And yes, increasing CapEx also would be for exports, but it would be very difficult to allot a particular figure for exports.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

Sure, sir. I understand that. So if I were to put it slightly differently, we are at close to INR 250-odd crores in this quarter, which is INR 1,000 crores annualized number per se. Are we seeing this to go towards, say, INR 1,500-odd crores in a 3-year time frame? Is that something that is visible based on the opportunity that you are seeing from the Schaeffler parent therein?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Certainly, there will be growth in exports. So it would be difficult to say whether it would reach INR 1,500 crores, but yes, it would increase. And it would increase at least in double digits going forward. And that is actually going to build in terms of the overall export growth.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

Understood, sir. Sir, one other question under the PLI Scheme, how much investments are earmarked under PLI Scheme? And what categories does Schaeffler intend to expand products under the PLI Scheme? If you can just spend a minute on that, sir.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes. Thanks, Shyam. See, the PLI Scheme, obviously, clearly as an auto-component manufacturer, we are eligible. And if you look at the framework, this is for all the new technologies that are emerging now that auto-component manufacturers like us are eligible to compete with. So obviously, when you look at all the applications, it is talking about electric vehicle technologies components and subsystems going into these applications as well as even the new emerging technology of hydrogen fuel cells and the works. So having said that, it's a very broad area. And as you know, Schaeffler already has the capabilities to participate both in the electric vehicle technology space as well as in the fuel cell and hydrogen space.

So with that, we are clearly preparing our strategies as well to play the game here. We already have some actions on the ground. In the succeeding presentations as we come -- as things begin to evolve, we will definitely start to share that with you all.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

Understood, sir. So the focus even from Schaeffler will be on the new age technologies, on the electrification or the hydrogen fuel-related components?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

Okay. Sir, just on the electrification, earlier we were slightly more hesitant to put up capacities, say, in motor manufacturing or ECUs, et cetera, given that India market is yet to evolve. We were largely doing those transmission gear boxes per se, for the -- that we have indigenized as well therein. So is there any change in thought process there, specifically from an EV standpoint, EV component standpoint therein from a Schaeffler perspective?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Well, we follow the market, is it not? That's the right thing to do. And as the market is evolving, you do find definitely different subsets of technologies have started to come in. And clearly, so we will be doing as well the course corrections if needed in terms of our strategy to bring out relevant products to others, the relevant applications. A year back, as you rightly know, the fuel cell was not even talked about in India, but now we begin to see a lot of action on the ground happening. So accordingly, we are an agile organization, and we will continue to watch the market developments and clearly keep shifting our strategies as well.

S
Shyam Sriram
analyst

Okay. So even the motors, et cetera, which were -- erstwhile we were not thinking about, that is also now under consideration that -- under the -- given that there is an incentive on the PLI as well?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes, we will look at whatever possible options are there that we can get into and competencies that we already have in Europe. So we will try to bring. Obviously, the market also has to have a demand. And we believe now with the PLI Scheme coming in and with the measures that the government is putting in place to grow the electric vehicle technology in India. And the early adopters, we believe are the 2- and 3-wheelers. So we believe that, yes, there is enough and enough opportunity that is going to be there for us as well. So we have started to now work around it to see what we can offer, not just from a mechanical standpoint, but even from an electrical standpoint.

Operator

Thank you, Mr. Sriram. Request you to join the queue for any follow-up as there are several participants waiting for their turn. [Operator Instructions] We'll take the next question that is from the line of Vimal Gohil from Union AMC.

V
Vimal Gohil
analyst

Sir, congratulations on a great set of numbers, sir. Sir, just wanted to understand your margin performance better. Our exports currently are at 16-odd percent, and we have a target of taking it to 20% of our total mix. And assuming that there will be some easing of raw material prices also going forward. Your auto aftermarket will also probably do well, which I believe is a slightly higher margin business. Would it be fair to say that there is still some upside left in your margins going forward?

S
Satish Patel
executive

So Vimal, just to correct one portion of your question where you mentioned that there is a target to have 20% as exports. We have not announced that we have a target of 20% exports. So just please stand corrected. Yes, exports would grow, but would it be 20% or would it stay at 15% or would it be in between? Very difficult to sort of construe. So yes, there would be growth in exports. And the margin levels that we have sustained, we have actually undertaken several countermeasures, and we use the word countermeasures and not cost-reduction measures because countermeasures had on both sides, revenue optimization, improving the quality of revenue as well as cost optimization.

And across these countermeasures, we have about, let's say, 35% to 40% of measures, which are sustained and the reflection of those countermeasures is also there in terms of the improvement in margin that you see in this quarter. Because the countermeasures were rolled out over the last 2 years, now full year annualized impact is getting reflected in this quarter. So this would be sustained. How much of the other mix improvement, which is resulting out of the export growth as well as the mix within the domestic business, improvement in that mix would contribute to margin? Very difficult to assess. But yes, we have reached certain level of margins, and we are trying our best to actually sustain the level of margins that we have realized.

Operator

Mr. Gohil, does this answer your question?

We'll move to our the next question from the line of Sandeep Tulsiyan from JM Financial.

S
Sandeep Tulsiyan
analyst

So first question pertaining to the industrial segment, we did mention in the comments that wind segment is facing some challenges for exports. But when we look at the breakup for the industrial segment, the nonmobility piece is actually doing very well and we assume that wind should be a large portion of that. So if you could clarify what was the actual growth within wind segment, which is roughly 10% of the sales? And if that is not done well, what are the other segments? And by what proportionately has, if you can give some more color, along with some color on the industrial mobility segment.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes. Thanks, Sandeep. I just want to correct -- make a small correction what you said. Well, it's not the entire wind sector that is down. I did say that, yes, a few of our customers have had some challenges on their export businesses, which has actually -- in the first quarter, we saw the impact cascading down to us. But it does not mean that this will get resolved. We are hoping. And once the problem -- issues get resolved on the export front. Surely, I think this will be back on track. So that's the first piece. So it's only a few customers that we have encountered this challenge.

Secondly, yes, wind was down, although it contributes roughly about 11% to our total sales. Well, in this quarter, if one were to look at from the preceding quarter itself, our business came down close to 14% and that's one of the reasons the impact on the industrial side because on the overall Schaeffler India sales wind is about 11%, and that definitely was -- that pulled down the industrial part of the business. You said, right, that the other nonmobility sector did well. Yes, the other sectors and industrial automation, the raw materials, we do definitely have some strong performance there coming in for the quarter. Definitely, we saw some strong numbers coming in there.

S
Satish Patel
executive

And then just to add one point, Harsha. As far as our segmentation is concerned. In others segment, we have in addition to wind, we have raw material business, business in industrial automation as well as power transmission. And the business in industrial automation did well. So there is significant growth in industrial automation as well as in the raw material business. So that does actually contribute to growth in the nonmobility space.

S
Sandeep Tulsiyan
analyst

Understood. That's clear. And second question was pertaining to this CPV growth which we usually give an update on. You mentioned in the last quarter, it was around EUR 40 per vehicle. Long-term target is to double this CPV growth. If you can just update us where you are in that journey? How soon we intend to reach there? And one related question within auto towards aftermarket is, we have been introducing a lot of these products in addition to TruPower lubricants now the wipers. Within auto aftermarket, what would be the split between traded versus manufactured products? If you could just highlight -- or is it entirely traded? Those are 2 questions on automotive.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Okay. Let me first answer the question on the CPV. As I said earlier, that yes, we will continue to focus on increasing the content per vehicle. And with all the new business wins that we are securing, we are well on track to continue to grow that. And certainly, we have seen improvements when -- coming into this year when compared to last year. Now if you were to ask me to give a number here. Well, definitely, we see improvements in some specific segments. We are seeing very strong growth in the CPV.

Some of the segments for strategic reasons, we are still having a flattish growth rate, but we are addressing that as well. So it all boils down to some of the new business wins, which as soon as the projects come to a realization, the CPV certainly is going to improve there as well. So we are on course, and we will stay the course for the content per vehicle numbers. The second part of your question was...

S
Satish Patel
executive

As regards to the second part of the question, out of aftermarket business -- automotive aftermarket, how much is manufactured? How much is traded? The answer is that we have largely manufactured in automotive aftermarket business. Automotive business is also -- OE business is also largely -- it is nearly 100% local or manufactured. And aftermarket business, I would say over 90% is manufactured.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Just to add to what Satish just said, as you know, the Schaeffler TruPower was launched end of 2020 and 2021 was the first year we really saw the traction in terms of the new products that we have started to launch. Our focus is to continue to add more products and grow the percentage of the Schaeffler TruPower business that we do with respect to the own manufacturer. But today, as Satish rightly says, close to 90% and above continues to be our bread and butter products.

S
Satish Patel
executive

And with the range extension, this ratio would slightly change. Yes, the trading would increase.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Sachin Maniar from InCred Research.

S
Sachin Maniar
analyst

And congratulations for a good set of numbers. So my first question is on the export front. Sir, can you broadly say how is the composition in exports for auto and industrial market? I think 80% goes into mobility, but if you say how it divided for auto and industrial? And how would be the end exposure to Asia, Europe and U.S. on the export front? And if you can just highlight what would be the margin differential for exports versus company-level margins? That one -- the first one is on exports...

S
Satish Patel
executive

So exports largely for industrial business. So our exports are -- as you know, automotive business is highly localized. And I think that's the -- that's how the automotive model works actually, yes. So automotive business is largely localized. So our exports are largely for industrial business, in fact, over 90% would be industrial business only. And in terms of geographical spread, it is more or less balanced now. So we have a business of exports, Europe North America and Asia Pacific. And all these 3 would be more or less similar. Yes, Europe would be highest, so -- and North America and Asia Pacific would be slightly lower in that in terms of the share of the pie. So that's how the whole structure is. And we do have exports also to China, a certain portion of exports to China. So it's more or less balanced across the continents.

S
Sachin Maniar
analyst

Sir, if you can highlight what's the margin differential for exports and company level margins, if possible?

S
Satish Patel

Yes. Yes, I was about to come to that -- answering that question, so I was thinking for a moment. So we do not have a specific number to talk -- to inform you about the exact margins for exports. And let me also clarify in this regard that it's not that we do not wish to share, we are more than happy to share. But our whole segmentation works on broadly mobility and others. And that's how we normally have the internal monitoring, reporting system as well as overall business -- driving the business. So we do not have specific segment called exports, and we do not have that sort of profitability to even internally monitor.

But yes, we have certain projects which are specific to exports, the projects right from the feasibility until the final realization is monitored based on the target profitability as well as the target realization of that project. And this happens for all across the segments. So yes, there is a focus on earnings across segments, but there is no specific number that we have for exports that we can share with you.

Sure. And the second point is just a few quarters back, you have given a breakup that 60% of it is your bearing and 40% is nonbearing. If you can see what -- so many products introduced, what would be the current breakup would be between bearings and nonbearings? And if you could throw what would be the INA and LuK revenues in CY '20, sir, that would give some idea on it.

S
Satish Patel
executive

So as far as breakup is concerned, that still remains more or less in that range, 60-40 only. Maybe that would have only a couple of percentage change from 60-40. So it is more or less in that range. Your second question is INA and LuK range, how much is the overall revenue within the total pipe, right? That's the second question. Yes. So INA and LuK together, I would say, contribute about 50% of our total business. The 50% is FAG branch approximately. I don't have the figures in front of me, but yes, it is almost 50-50.

S
Sachin Maniar
analyst

Okay, sir. And sir, finally, on the CapEx front, you already explained. So just to put it, how are the divided between auto, industrial -- in the term that parent has declared that 68% is powertrain-specific and 32% is power-agnostic. How would it be for India? And would your CapEx is largely on power-agnostic product and how powertrains or powertrain-specific? And if there is a risk that the electrification catch up, would that risk to the CapEx what we are putting? That's just the last question.

S
Satish Patel
executive

Yes. So as regard to the investments or the CapEx that we have here, market is more or less balanced between industrial and automotive business. The investment that we have for this year and at least the next year is largely for the advanced technologies as well as conventional products. So a little more share of the CapEx would be going to industrial business. However, the investments from next to next year onwards will be more oriented towards automotive business and coming there exactly about your question about the e-mobility or the nonconventional product share I would request Harsha to provide some sort of comments on that.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes. On the business front, today, the e-mobility side roughly contributes 3% of our sales. And I can say that looking at the market development on the electric vehicles, when you stack up the numbers, you'll find the market too is around 2% in the passenger vehicle segment. And clearly, we are in line with or if not a little better than the market development as well in terms of the volume of business. Now when I look at the technology, yes, a lot of it is still the conventional products, but certainly, we are working with our customers to bring out new technologies and new offerings in the electric vehicle space as well.

We are looking at 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers, which are the early adopters. And certainly, we see the potential there to start developing solutions as well as make investments look very promising there. And that's exactly our focus area right now. While on the other hand, the passenger vehicles, the volumes still remain pretty low. And nevertheless, but definitely, we do have the competency and the technology to bring out solutions for the electric vehicle applications, be it the passenger vehicles or otherwise within the Schaeffler portfolio. It's just a question of now adapting those technologies to Indian needs and that customization is something that we will continue to try.

S
Satish Patel
executive

And also because of the PLI Scheme -- sorry, just to add one more. The mix of the CapEx would change because of the uncertain advancement and of the CapEx in that...

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

In line with the PLI, yes.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Ankit Merchant from Quest Investments.

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

My first question is related to the breakup of the automotive segment. Can you give a breakup, how much is 2-wheelers, passenger vehicles and EV?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

In terms of sales?

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

Yes.

S
Satish Patel
executive

Yes. In terms of revenue, I think you want broadly vehicle segment split. I can share broadly, so 2-wheeler business is within our industrial business. And if I look at the overall total revenue, which includes automotive as well, 2-wheeler would be about 7%. But if I take only the industrial business where this sector is accounted, it's about double of that. So 14% of that revenue and 7% of overall revenue.

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

Okay. PVs and CVs would be the...

S
Satish Patel
executive

This would be -- just a moment if we can track -- if we can trace it out in a moment, we can share. Otherwise, I would request our Investor Relations Officer to provide this information to you separately at a later point of time.

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

Sir, second question is related to the EU free trade agreement which is going to get signed in a couple of days or so. What are your thoughts? And how could Schaeffler benefit out of it?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Australia. Is this to do with the FDA with Australia?

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

No, no, no. Europe.

S
Satish Patel
executive

Europe. Okay. It's still evolving. Still, evolving not so much progress, I would say. In fact, we have been also, right, pitching for this...

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Certainly, we are eager as well because this would open up different channels of business and as well as it would ease a lot of constraints that we face today with the free trade agreement. Certainly we are eager because our traded part of the business is also substantially large. So that's going to benefit as well, and our exports definitely would benefit as well both ways. It works both ways for us.

A
Ankit Merchant
analyst

And in the Europe, I think Europe contributes 40% of our exports. So in that particular geography itself, what are the current challenges that you're facing? And how is this particular geography as such is going to get impacted for you?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Our exports are largely to western part of Europe, Germany and other western countries, not so much in Eastern part of Europe. So far, we have not encountered any major challenges.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Generally, challenges that I would put on the table is the COVID as a result of which there is some impact was felt. Now with the geopolitical developments in that part of the world, definitely, we see some impact but the good thing is we do export to the other parts of the world as well, and that's beginning to also look up for us. Asia Pacific also we find a lot of opportunities. So while export to Europe I wouldn't say it's muted, but then we are watching it carefully with the situation that is developing there. But I would say there are enough opportunities for us.

[Operator Instructions] We have a next question from the line of Vimal Gohil from Union AMC.

V
Vimal Gohil
analyst

Sir, my apologies. My line got disconnected before. Sir, so basically, my second question was on -- you mentioned something on a relocation of some product lines from your parent entity. I am not aware of the same. Could you please help me understand this better?

S
Satish Patel
executive

So those were the industrial sort of business, some of the relocation of some of the lines and those were in the space of -- just a moment, please.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Mainly we were talking about products.

S
Satish Patel
executive

So those were mainly on the base of large-sized bearings as well as CRBs, double bearings for railways, then large-sized bearings for wind applications, stacked bearings for machine-tool applications, and TRBs for heavy commercial vehicles.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Yes. Predominantly, the relocation that is being done for bearings that's most of the realizations that are happening. And also catering to different sectors, so to say, industrial automation definitely is one of them, rail and wind is also on the agenda for us to bring in those product lines here.

V
Vimal Gohil
analyst

Right. So basically, this will incrementally contribute to our exports business going forward, one of the drivers there?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

This is going to contribute mainly to the improvement.

S
Satish Patel
executive

Mainly, right.

V
Vimal Gohil
analyst

Got it. So sir, I just wanted to get an update, the company had signed MOU with the Tamil Nadu government on setting up a plant. I'm sure that the understanding that is there is that the plant will be for the PLI Scheme. Just wanted to get an update on where are we? Have we purchased the land or has the construction started? When can we see the commissioning of that new plant?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Yes. So we have signed the MOU, and we are planning to acquire the land during this year and we are expecting to -- actually are planning to commission the plant next year. So that's our plan. And as regards to your PLI, there is no specific plan that we have assigned to PLI because one good thing for PLI is that you have to have certain threshold investments and sales realized and that investment can be in any of the plant. So it has to be within the company. So we have no doubt large amount of debt investment would be towards that. But there would be investments in other plants also which are going to be for the products which are actually for -- going to be eligible for PLI.

Operator

Our next question is from the line of Rishi Vora from Kotak Securities.

R
Rishi Vora
analyst

Congratulations on a good set of numbers. I have 2 questions. One is you highlighted that 60% of your revenues come from the bearing segment. If you could further dissect it, how much comes from engine bearings, transmissions, that would be helpful.

S
Satish Patel
executive

That would be help very difficult. We can provide you very approximate, but we don't want to go wrong there. So I would suggest that this question also be answered separately by our Head of Investor Relations to you. You would get a reply for this.

R
Rishi Vora
analyst

Yes, sir. And on the export beta -- export part, you said that 100 -- almost most of it is industrial. So what are the products which you export? And what is the end consumers or who are your end consumers in that segment?

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

I think the -- Satish answered the question.

S
Satish Patel
executive

Yes, I've already actually answered previously. The previous question was regards to products, which I answered. And just once again, I'll repeat that. As far as products are concerned, they are largely bearings -- in the bearings space, most small and large-sized bearings and medium-sized bearings. So we have CRBs, TRBs, DGBBs, then TAROL bearings, then large-sized bearings up to 2,000 MMs. Then we have stacked bearings and certain small bearings for robotic applications as well as axial tapered roller bearings for the machine tool applications. So those are the actually products that go for exports and largely for -- largely bearings only.

R
Rishi Vora
analyst

Right. And this large-sized bearings which we export from India are also completely manufactured in India? Or is there any traded component?

S
Satish Patel
executive

Whatever we have exports here that is entirely manufactured in India only, yes. We have certain maybe components would be imported.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Where again, we are working on localizing the components.

S
Satish Patel
executive

And where we are even working for the localization. So what we call as true localization. We have localization of finished goods as well as depth of localization inclusive of the components.

R
Rishi Vora
analyst

Okay. Understood. And last bit on export front only, why are we not in the automotive segment? Is there any specific reason for that or maybe over time, we will focus on that segment?

S
Satish Patel
executive

The point is that, let me clarify once again, that automotive space across the globe is a localized sort of manufacturing. Whichever country you go automotive production and auto component is largely localized because OEs expect just-in-time deliveries. OEs expect best-in-class service level that can only be ensured if you have the local manufacturer. So this is a very common parlance across the globe. And that's how it was also in auto component sector in India. And we have our automotive, in both automotive OE as well as automotive aftermarket, largely localized. Yes, there is some space in automotive aftermarket where we have imports because of being the expansion of the product trends, because of the new product launches and the range expansion. Otherwise, automotive is largely localized. A very, very small portion in our export is contributing from automotive.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen due to paucity of time, we'll be able to take one last question that is from the line of [ Chaitanya Shah ] from [ Silverline Capital ].

U
Unknown Analyst

Coming to export, I had questions generally from the entire Schaeffler Group including the parent. Now more than 50% to 60% of the manufacturing capacity of the parent is in Europe. So internally, is there any target of what can come to India or possibly are you guys working with a target of what portion of that can come to India? And again, with that, because of the geopolitical situation, there are a lot of talks of supply chain reconfiguration going on. So I just want to understand where does India stand in terms of priority of setting up a significant manufacturing base for the parent outside of Europe?

S
Satish Patel
executive

So look, the whole -- whether you talk about exports or you talk about relocation, the whole phenomenon was basis competence, right? So we, in India, amongst the entire Schaeffler Group have competence for certain range of products, have established both cost and technical competence. And therefore, those products are localized. Those products are also manufactured in the other part of the world, but are actually relocated to India because of -- precisely because of this competence.

Same thing is happening for certain other range of products also. It's not that India is getting all the products of Schaeffler and that's just not possible. So we have competence established for a certain range of products in some other part of the world. And those countries have actually manufacturing and relocations there. And thereby, the overall cost and the competence is actually improved across the group.

Now coming to these geopolitical conditions, as Harsha also mentioned before, that we have our export spread across the globe. It's not only for Europe, it's for Europe, for Americas and as well as for Asia Pacific. And therefore, this geopolitical condition is no doubt a risk, but that could not be a significant risk in terms of achieving what we have targeted for our exports all as what Schaeffler has globally targeted for different relocations across the Schaeffler world.

U
Unknown Analyst

Okay. All right. And my last question is if you could give some -- if you could elaborate a bit on some of the technologies in the EV space that you're working on. If you could give some case studies, it could either be at the parent level or at the Indian company level. If you could give some case studies on the kind of technology in the EV space way that you're working on that would be great.

H
Harsha Kadam
executive

Okay. There are quite a few areas that Schaeffler globally is working upon. If I were to start with the automotive side, the electric vehicle technology, wherein we are talking about manufacturing high power density motors for the e-axles. So that's the competency that Schaeffler already has, and we've been already into series production of motors there in Europe for European market. Talking about controllers that go with that motors as well. That's the competency we have brought in as well.

And moving forward, we also made specific acquisitions and brought those competencies even on the industrial side with the high level of automation that's coming into the industrial applications, manufacturing areas, robotics is one of the sectors that we see good demand growing in. So strategic acquisitions towards products that go into robotic arms is also now within the Schaeffler portfolio, talking about planetary gearboxes that go into these robotic arms. We now have the competence and the wherewithal to design and develop specific solutions there.

Talk about digitalization on the Industry 4.0, state of new products in terms of lubrication systems and condition monitoring both now have been brought into the market, and we are now aggressively offering this to our customers, both in India and outside India as well. So there is every aspect of the business, we see that Schaeffler has the capabilities and appropriate strategies, and strategically appropriate products are being brought out in those relevant areas. I hope I have answered -- given you a flavor of that.
