Industry outlook uncertain
“The outlook for the industry remains uncertain with continued electronic chip shortage and supply chain disruptions hurting the vehicle productions of OEMs and in turn, affecting our sales. Also, the trend of acute price increase of raw materials continues to remain so, eroding the bottom line. Nevertheless, we have managed to achieve a performance better than the market in spite of such tough external conditions,” Vikram Mohan, Managing Director, Pricol Ltd, said in a statement.
Pricol has entered into an international technology licensing agreement with BMS PowerSafe, recognised as one of the top 3 pure players of battery management system (BMS) suppliers in Europe, to manufacture and sell BMS for the Indian market. “With new opportunities of growth areas identified combined with new business wins awarded from our customers, we stay committed to delivering a consistent performance overall,” said Mohan.
