8 active capex builds are tracking below target margin, putting ₹29 Cr of profit at stake — recoverable while the build is still in flight. With 3 of 9 initiatives needing attention and ₹680 Cr of capex still to deploy, the fastest margin recovery is on the builds already underway.

    Recover margin on the Hosur greenfield (new-mobility plant) build before it rampsAct now
    Why it matters

    Hosur greenfield (new-mobility plant) is 55% deployed at 11% vs a 14% target — ₹8 Cr at stake that locks in once the line ramps.

    What's driving it
    • Hosur greenfield (new-mobility plant): 11% vs 14% target (−3pt)
    • 8 builds below target, ₹29 Cr total at stake
    FYI
    • Machining, Assemblies & New Mobility · West India (Sanand / Hosur)
    • Recover via scope discipline and conversion-cost tightening before ramp-up

    Why it matters

    ₹680 Cr of committed capex remains to be deployed across 9 active builds at 43% average completion — capacity stays off-line until it commissions.

    What's driving it
    • Active capex ₹1,230 Cr, ₹680 Cr still to deploy
    • Order book ₹1,180 Cr, book-to-bill 1.06x

Behind the ₹1,180 Cr order book sit live die-casting capacity, machining, EV-component and new-mobility builds. This view is where capex becomes operating capacity — and where project margin erodes if a build runs long or scope creeps. 3 of 9 active builds need attention.
