Analysts said the expansion into lighting underscores the group's broader drive to capture higher value content per vehicle and to support original equipment manufacturers amid ongoing demand recovery. Observers added that increased localisation of components has been a persistent theme among suppliers seeking to de risk supply chains and to improve cost competitiveness. The establishment of the Gujarat plant is expected to strengthen the firm's position in a competitive component market.
