The important thing to notice is that the volume numbers are also down year on year indicating the severity of the impact on a low base.<\/li>\n<li>The recovery is expected to be volatile as the true impact of the new variant remains to be seen. International travel has also been impacted, it is expected that volumes will continue to be depressed until restrictions are eased.<\/li>\n<li>The Industry is currently working to minimise the impact of low volumes through various cost optimisation measures, however, there\u2019s a lack of assurance as to when will the volumes recover whether it will be in Q3 or Q4FY22.<\/li>\n<li>However, the Industry expects pent up demand and volume recovery post this crisis to continue and thus keeps its long term outlook of double-digit growth unchanged.<\/li>\n<li>Semi-conductor shortage volatility is expected to continue till H1CY22. There is some recovery seen, however, it\u2019ll take another 6-8 months to indicate a semblance of normalcy. Over-stocking of inventory due to the existing shortage crisis is creating a mismatch between actual demand and supply further worsening the situation.<\/li>\n<li>EV segment is at a nascent stage, but the company expects demand to grow exponentially once it picks up. The company is focusing on creating a base for this additional supply. The company benefits from having an agnostic product supply- i.e. it is ICE\/EV neutral and the company plans to add value-added products to specifically cater to EV segments and has already launched 9 new products.<\/li>\n<li>The company\u2019s ICE toolkit currently tickets at Rs 7,000\/-, however, the company\u2019s new EV Value-added toolkit tickets at Rs 28,000\/- The company will benefit from increased EV volumes and it\u2019ll be margin accretive in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Asset Multiplier Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The auto industry has been severely impacted by intermittent lockdowns and supply chain issues, however, the underlying demand for the industry is set to stay and only increase in the medium term.<\/li>\n<li>EV segment is a very value and margin accretive segment for the company, the recent shift in demand to EVs will augur well for the company\u2019s profitability in the medium term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Consensus Estimate (Source: market screener and investing.com websites)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The closing price of Minda Industries was \u20b9 899\/- as of 01-December-21.
