First year of cyclical recovery in core business slowed down by chip shortage
Motilal Oswal analysts said Bharat Forge, after witnessing a cyclical downturn to FY21, exacerbated by the COVID impact, is experiencing a cyclical recovery in its core businesses in both domestic and international markets. With robust crude oil/commodity prices and increased infrastructure investment by governments in developed markets, non-automotive exports should recover on a sustained basis in the coming years.
Aluminum forgings – a game with lightening the EVs/ICE
Stricter CO2 emissions regulations worldwide and the advent of electric vehicles (EVs) have led to an increase in aluminum use. Bharat Forge’s overseas subsidiaries are witnessing strong demand for aluminum forged components for chassis of EVs and hybrid PVs and so the company has doubled its capacity to 40,000 tons from 20,000 tons. “With all capacities up and running and already fully booked, aluminum forging business is expected to grow to EUR 200-220 million, from EUR 59 million in CY20, over the next 3-4 years,” said Motilal Oswal.
Strengthening industrial activities through acquisitions

The company has a relatively smaller contribution from renewable energy and industrial segments in India. The acquisitions of Sanghvi Forgings and JS Autocast are intended to strengthen its presence in these segments.

Bharat Forge has been building its capabilities in EV components in vehicle segments through various organic initiatives. In addition to targeting lightweight capabilities in the EV space, the company is also targeting subsystems and complete electric powertrains in vehicle segments. Motilal Oswal estimates Bharat Forge’s Consolidated Revenue, EBITDA and PAT at 10%, 17% and 24% CAGR over FY22-25, respectively.
