Auto component industry to see moderate growth this fiscal: ICRA

Credit ratings agency ICRA predicts a moderate growth for the auto component industry in the coming quarters due to the Red Sea crisis, higher container rates, and shipping time. The industry is expected to see a year-on-year improvement of around 50 basis-points in FY2025, benefiting from better operating leverage, higher content per vehicle, and value additions. The industry's liquidity position remains comfortable, especially across tier-I players, supported by stable cash flows and earnings. ICRA expects the growth in revenues of the Indian auto component industry to ease to 5-7 per cent this fiscal, from the highs of around 14% in FY 2023-24.
