Kunal Malani, CFO of Samvardhana Motherson International said the impact of tariffs will be minimal due to pass-through elements in customer-nominated parts and commodities.

About 18% of Motherson’s revenue comes from the US and 4% from Mexico.

Malani talked about the company’s global local strategy, which means they manufacture products in the same regions where they sell them. “So, it is not that we are importing, or exporting too much of our parts. Having said so, there are commodities which move in and out, and commodities in general are passed through in most of the world,” he said.

Motherson operates in 45 countries and therefore, has the flexibility to adjust production and shift manufacturing to more favourable locations.

Pankaj Mital, COO of Samvardhana Motherson International, discussed the company’s expansion into consumer electronics, with new facilities ramping up and more planned for the future.

He pointed to the company’s acquisition-driven growth strategy, leveraging market uncertainties to find new opportunities.
