Price Performance

Basis of our Recommendation

Tenneco Clean Air India Limited's management has articulated a strong growth trajectory, underpinned by a substantial order book and strategic capacity expansions. The company plans to invest INR 1,400 million in Northern and Western India to meet rising demand, which is expected to drive double-digit revenue growth through 2028. This aligns with Vista's forecast of stable margins and moderate revenue growth, supported by a favorable macro environment and improving pricing power in the auto ancillaries sector. The anticipated entry into Maruti Suzuki's supplier panel and the successful execution of new programs with major OEMs further enhance Tenneco's competitive position. However, the company remains vigilant regarding potential headwinds, including geopolitical risks and competitive pressures. Over the next 12-24 months, Tenneco's focus on localization and export opportunities, alongside the adoption of stricter emission regulations, positions it well for sustained growth. Key opportunities include expanding into new product verticals and leveraging India's export potential, while watchpoints include macroeconomic conditions and execution challenges that could impact growth expectations

Analysts' Viewpoint
Tenneco Clean Air's strategic focus on India leverages the region's rapid growth and profitability, supported by strong localization and export potential due to global supply chain shifts. The company anticipates significant market opportunities from upcoming CAFE-3 and BS7 emission regulations, alongside a major catalyst with its entry into Maruti Suzuki's supplier panel in 2028. However, current capacity limitations in the suspension segment and potential shifts in domestic regulatory timelines could constrain immediate growth, though export demands may mitigate these risks.
