Thank you, Mumuksh and Anand Rathi for hosting this call. Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Q1 FY27 earnings conference call of Minda Corporation Limited. I hope all of you are doing well. It is a pleasure to connect with you today to discuss the company's performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and share the key developments across our businesses. The global economy continues to navigate an evolving environment marked by geopolitical developments, changing trade dynamics, and persistent uncertainty across several regions. Despite these challenges, India remains one of the fastest growing major economies, supported by strong domestic demand, improving infrastructure activity, and continued policy support for manufacturing. Turning to the automotive industry. The sector delivered a strong performance for the quarter, recording its highest ever first quarter production volumes.
Overall industry production grew by around 22% on YoY basis, driven by positive demand conditions, improving exports, and resilient consumption across both rural and urban markets. The two -wheeler segment grew by approximately 23%, driven by strong scooter demand and exports momentum. Electric two -wheeler adoption also continued to accelerate, with registrations crossing 5 lakh units for the first time in a single quarter.
