Management Guidance
Talbros Automotive Components Ltd has set a revenue target of Rs. 2,200 crore, with Rs.2,000 crore expected from its non-LT division. However, the company has cautioned that achieving this target may face a delay of six to nine months due to challenges in the launch phase.
Despite this, Talbros remains committed to its growth strategy, focusing on scaling its production capacity and enhancing its product portfolio to meet market demands. The company is also exploring ways to streamline operations and mitigate potential setbacks to ensure it meets its financial goals within the revised timeline.
Additionally, Talbros Automotive Components Ltd has reported a robust EBITDA margin expansion, projected to range between 16.75 percent and 17 percent moving forward. This growth is primarily attributed to the company’s successful joint ventures, particularly with Marelli and Marugo.

The company remains optimistic about sustaining this momentum, supported by a steady demand for its products and a focus on innovation to meet evolving industry standards.
