In FY25, he said the company clocked a consolidated turnover of Rs 650 crore.
The company has completed raising of Rs 3,000 crore and currently investments are ongoing in various aspects, including new product development, he added.

In the next 6 to 12 months, he said the company is looking at adding an
electric tractor
in the 40-50 horse power (HP) segment to the existing 27 HP.
Besides, the company is planning to launch variants in the
heavy commercial vehicle
(HCV) segment, inducing tippers.
In the small vehicle segment (SCV), Gupta said TI Clean Mobility Pvt Ltd (TICMPL) is looking at electric ambulance to tap opportunity of subsidy offered by the government, besides electric bus on its existing 3.5 tonne platform.
As for electric three-wheelers, the company will look at entering e-rickshaw segment, while also considering to offer "either a lower or higher battery" option over and above its existing 10.6 kilowatt battery that powers the passenger autorickshaw at present, Gupta said.
On its USD 1 billion target, he said, "About 50 per cent should be coming from the HCV, 20 per cent from SCV, 20 per cent from three-wheeler and 10 per cent from tractor business."
Further, Gupta said TICMPL has invested in four manufacturing units -- three in and around Chennai and one in Manesar, Haryana -- to produce its range of electric vehicles.
"We have already created capacities which we feel are sufficient to take care of at least next couple of years," he noted.
The HCV facility at Manesar has an annual capacity of up to 6,000 units.
For SCV, the company has an annual capacity of 50,000 units and the three-wheeler capacity is 70,000 units across passenger and cargo variants.
Gupta said the company's electric tractor production capacity is 25,000 units per annum.
TICMPL's new electric three-wheeler SUPER CARGO prices start at Rs 4.37 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi, post-subsidy) and marks the company's entry in the highly strategic last-mile delivery space.
It has a range of over 200 km on standard testing conditions and real-life range of 170 km, the company said.
It is powered by a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery and will also be available with a 15-minute 100 per cent charging option.
In the three-wheeler segment, the company has a presence in 101 different markets in India and plans to reach 150 markets in FY26. It has sold over 10,000 units so far.

At TCS AGM, AI-led disruption, automation, geopolitics in focus

The world is facing upheavals on multiple fronts—tariffs, wars, and disruption due to artificial intelligence (AI), said Keki Mistry, non-executive and independent director at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), as he presided over the 30th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the company. Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran could not chair the meeting due to 'certain exigencies.' 'We are presently engulfed by uncertainty at multiple fronts. The global economic connections are being reconfigured on a daily basis from tariffs to supply chains, wars and conflicts across regions, to the disruption posed by artificial intelligence. The world faces upheaval at several levels,' said the veteran business executive and former CEO of HDFC. The board of directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 30 per share for the fourth quarter, which brings the total annual dividend for the year to Rs 126 per share. TCS' shareholder payout was Rs 45,588 crores with a payout ratio of 94%.Looking ahead, TCS plans to focus on four strategic pillars: establishing a large pool of AI agents working alongside the human workforce, delivering solutions to a human plus AI model, and investing in AI data centres as well as partnerships, Mistry pointed out that the geopolitical landscape has reshaped how global businesses operate—reimagining their systems, processes, and technologies. 'Among all the shifts, it is the potential of generative artificial intelligence that stands apart. Unlike previous technological revolutions, which arrived sequentially across the globe, GenAI is emerging everywhere simultaneously… GenAI is not just another tech cycle. It represents a generational shift.'

HDB Financial sets Rs 700–740 price band for Rs 12,500-crore IPO

MUMBAI: HDB Financial Services, a retail-focused NBFC owned by HDFC Bank, has set a price band of Rs 700–740 for its Rs 12,500-crore IPO, marking a steep premium over face value but a sharp discount to grey market rates. At the upper end of the price band, the company will be valued at USD 7.5 billion, compared to the grey market valuation of USD 10.5 billion. The mega issue, the largest from the NBFC space, comprises a Rs 2,500 crore fresh issue of shares of Rs 10 face value and Rs 10,000 crore in offer-for-sale by parent HDFC Bank, which currently holds 94.3% of the company. The remaining 5.7% shares are held by the employees trust and employees through ESOPs, Chief Financial Officer Jaykumar Shah told TNIE at the press meet announcing the issue. Post-issue, HDFC Bank will continue to hold 75% of the equity. HDB Financial, founded in 2008, has been growing rapidly. In FY25, its loan book, 73% of which is secured, crossed the Rs 1-trillion mark, from which it earned a net income of Rs 2,180 crore, up 29% from the previous fiscal. However, asset quality remains a concern, with gross NPAs at 2.3% and net NPAs at 1% of assets. The IPO is also intended to comply with the RBI's October 2022 directive requiring large NBFCs to go public by September 2025. When asked about launching the IPO during a choppy market and at a discount to the grey market price, CEO Ramesh Ganesh said the valuation was arrived at after discussions with investors and bankers. 'We've been doing roadshows for quite some time now, meeting investors globally and locally. We believe the value is derived by talking to investors and bankers, and we worked with them to arrive at the value,' Ramesh said.
