Business Diversification and Market Position
Sansera Engineering has established a diversified business model with a product portfolio of more than 80 components. The company derives 31% of its revenues from exports in H1 FY2026, providing geographical diversification and mitigating region-specific risks. In H1 FY2026, the company derived 12.7% of revenues from non-automotive segments and 14.4% from auto-tech agnostic segments, showing steady increase in proportion over the years.
The company operates 17 manufacturing plants, including 16 facilities across India and one in Sweden. It maintains established relationships with major two-wheeler and passenger vehicle/commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers in India and overseas markets, with healthy wallet share and repeat order track record.
Investment Plans and Future Outlook
Sansera Engineering has outlined significant capital expenditure plans with over Rs. 200.0 crore planned for H2 FY2026 and annual capex plans of Rs. 350-400 crore in the coming years towards upgradation and expansion of existing facilities. The capex is expected to be funded largely through internal accruals, with ICRA drawing comfort from anticipated healthy accruals and absence of sizeable incremental debt funding.
ICRA expects the company's financial profile to remain strong going forward, supported by healthy revenues and accruals despite sizeable capex plans over the medium term. The 'Stable' outlook reflects expectations that the company will sustain its credit profile and debt metrics through strong business position, healthy cash accruals, and adequate liquidity.
