The Q1FY27 comparative figures were restated following the amalgamation of Lumax Ancillary Limited and IAC International Automotive India Private Limited with the holding company. The mergers were accounted for using the Pooling of Interest method under Ind AS 103 following approval from the National Company Law Tribunal. Lumax Jopp Allied Technologies Private Limited also ceased to be a subsidiary after the sale of its entire equity stake to Jopp Holding GmbH of Germany, with its results consolidated up to June 29, 2026.
The new Chakan facility is an important expansion project, with the company expecting peak annualised turnover of around ₹440 crore after both phases are commissioned. New orders from Mahindra & Mahindra could support the facility's ramp up, while the company's existing position in automotive components provides an operating base for further growth. Investors can also monitor the pace of commissioning, order execution and whether the recent profit growth continues as the company expands its manufacturing capacity.
The stock is trading at a P/E of 42.7, while its recent gains have been substantial. Investors therefore need to consider whether future earnings growth can support the current valuation. The company is also exposed to the automotive cycle and the execution of its new manufacturing project. Changes in customer demand, project timelines and costs associated with expansion could affect future performance.
