equipment providers to cope with the demand from
vehicle manufacturers is a major trend identifiEDd in the
global automotive rear axle market.

The effect of this has been seen in their sales and revenue and should only improve and consolidate their position with time to come.
For the year 2018-2019 they are focusing on the following parameters to achieve our targets:
1) Increasing our capacities to meet the enhanced demand to increase their market share in both Domestic and Export Markets.
