The week, day by day

Push machined & value-added mix and finish the SAP / Industry-4.0 / EV-readiness rollout to bank the planned savings
₹1,067 Cr of revenue in scaling units (Alloy Wheels, Rico Fluidtronics, AAN aero-defence, Friction, EV / new mobility) — only 72% of the planned cost & capex-ROI savings captured.
Profit+₹21 CrEV+₹210 Cr~ modeled
🎯 Target: Savings captured 72% → 100% across the scaling-unit revenue.
⏱ Why now: The metal-to-mobility shift is half-done — completing the mix move and automation is the single highest-return work in the company, and it lifts margin, cash and loyalty at once.
👤 Owner: CFO · Transformation team
Lift Ferrous Castings' margin from 28% toward the 33.5% company blend on ₹230 Cr of revenue
Ferrous Castings is a commodity core but earns the lowest margin and value-added mix — 5.5 points below blend.
Profit+₹12.7 CrEV+₹126.5 Cr~ modeled
🎯 Target: Ferrous gross margin 28% → 33.5% on ₹230 Cr.
⏱ Why now: Ferrous Castings ships raw castings without enough machined or assembled content — moving it up the chain lifts both margin and the value-added mix.

Signals to watch

Leading indicators · one number, the action it implies

🏢 Customer 360
Top 10 = 93.3% of revenue

Hero MotoCorp alone is ₹645 Cr (26.0%). Hero concentration is the watch-item — cut it 26%→<20% by growing Maruti/BMW/Renault/Toyota and exports.

🔁 Value-Added Mix
22% value-added vs 30% target

Ferrous Castings still ships raw castings. Move it up the chain — machined parts, assembled modules, EV-component attach — to lift the value-added mix toward target.

⏱ Sales Velocity
Proposals are the slowest stage

₹280 Cr (Toyota) and ₹160 Cr (BMW) are sitting in Proposal. Enforce dated next steps before they age out.

🔧 Plant Capacity
82% capacity utilization

8 points of idle capacity against the 90% target. Fill it before adding lines — every utilized hour drops to margin.
