In the next couple of years, their plan is to regain its lost market share led by new launches in the UV and PV segment, strong demand for UV vehicles, easing supply side constraints and focus on premiumization.
Besides, its medium term strategy is to launch EV models, strengthen presence in the CNG and Hybrid segment through a mix of its existing product portfolio and new launches.

We are positive on the company’s growth prospects driven by new product launches, capacity expansion and its venture into the EV segment. Easing commodity prices and premiumization would help margins to grow.
3] Asian Paints: Asian Paints is the market leader in paints and we believe its growth will be driven by strong product portfolio, continuous new launches, focus on high growth segments such as exterior and waterproofing, wood polish, primers, etc. as well as focus on home décor and beautiful home services. Further, it intends to focus on premium products and product mix along with easing raw materials would aid margin improvement.

Further, its continuous focus on premiumization, cost optimization measures and abating inflation will help to improve margins.
6] UltraTech: Company’s leadership position along with its capacity addition and debt reduction plans bode well for the future and this would give an edge to the company over other players. Further, demand visibility, improved realization and utilization from existing capacities would aid in better volume growth. Moreover, the company’s plan to improve margin is to focus on better product mix, increase in usage of green power (to 36% by FY25 from 18% in FY22) and decline in cost of fuels and other raw materials.
