Revival in automotive sector to boost revenues in near term:
Tata Elxsi’s automotive sector contributes around 51% of total revenue. While
in automotive sector its top client JLR comprises around 14.5% of total revenues,
in recent statement from JLR the management indicted that despite of slowdown they
are not looking to reduce their budget for R&D process which is positive for
TELX. We believe in near term auto sector can revive at a faster pace. Globally
auto manufacturers are continuously investing in Technology driven cars and focusing
on Driverless cars, we expect good momentum soon in auto sector. Apart from this,
we expect a key change in Auto sector is a shift from normal vehicles to Electric
vehicles. According to Bloomberg report in 2018 over 2 million Electric vehicles
(EV) were sold which has grown in 10 folds from 10 years back. It expects annual
EV’s to rise by 10 million in 2025. This has a huge untapped opportunity for
Tata Elxsi as it offers services to Electric vehicles in program management, Engine
management software, Battery management etc

Tata Elxsi has successfully collaborated with top auto sector players to develop
sector specific products and tools for OEM’s and automotive suppliers. TELX
has collaborated with Hyundai mobis, to develop tool to test accelerate testing
of autonomous cars. It recently announced the licensing of their AUTOSAR adaptive

also partnered with android and blackberry for IP solutions which is one stop solution
