Sector / Market Context
India's forging industry serves as a key upstream supplier to the automobile, commercial vehicle, and railway sectors. According to the Association of Indian Forging Industry (AIFI), India is among the top five forging nations globally by volume, with a significant share of output directed at domestic original equipment manufacturers and export markets. Institutional interest in mid-cap component manufacturers has grown alongside India's push to expand its manufacturing base under Production Linked Incentive schemes covering the auto components segment, making facility-level due diligence visits by global fund houses a more common feature of the investment research process in this sector.
