It has three manufacturing and assembly plants at Sirsi in Karnataka, and Shivare and Bhosari near Pune in Maharashtra. A new facility at Shirwal, Maharashtra is expected to be fully operational by FY24.
The company has designed, developed, manufactured and supplied software embedded electronically controlled transfer cases and torque couplers for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra and others.
It also manufactures and supplies engineered, turnkey solutions and components to automotive OEMs across India like US, China, Korea and Russia, amongst others. It has the capability to develop and provide transmission systems for electric vehicles.
Divgi TorqTransfer Systems’ overseas sales are primarily dependent on two countries, China and Russia, which exposes it to risks of concentration. Both countries contribute to over 77% of its overall export revenue.
“Loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to any of our customers from these two countries, for any reason (including, due to any materially adverse social, political or economic development, civil disruptions, or changes in the policies of the state government or state or local governments in these countries, occurrence of Covid-19 infection and strict curbs), could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and future business prospects,” said the company in red herring prospectus.
After sanctions were imposed on Russia as it invaded Ukraine, there has been a reduction in imports from Russia. As a result, it is unable to sell products to Russian customers in the future.
“There can be no assurance that we will be able to offset the loss of our Russian customers, which may adversely affect our business,” said the company.
