What this company actually does

Read out of the prospectus’s business section, stripped of its marketing language.

Dhoot Transmission designs, engineers, manufactures and supplies wiring harnesses and related electrical/electronic components (battery packs, sensors, electronic controllers, automotive switches, power supply cords) primarily for two-wheeler and three-wheeler OEMs, covering both ICE and electric vehicles. They also serve commercial vehicles, off-highway vehicles, farming and industrial equipment, with manufacturing operations in India and overseas (UK, Slovakia, Thailand). Approximately 95% of their auto product portfolio is either EV-focused or powertrain-neutral.

How it earns

They earn revenue mainly by selling wiring harnesses and other E&E components directly to automotive OEMs under long-term supply programs.

Who buys

What it says sets it apart

  • Backward integration in critical components (terminals, connectors, cables and moulded parts), giving in-house control over quality, supply security and cost.
  • Marquee, long-tenured OEM customer base — 13-year average relationship with top 5 customers, with customer-owned tooling and PPAP documentation embedded in their plants that raise switching costs.
  • EV and premiumisation alignment — ~95% of auto product portfolio is EV-focused or powertrain-neutral; EV-related revenue was 24.17% of total in Fiscal 2026; 57.18% of 2W revenue came from premium (scooters >125cc, motorcycles >150cc) and EV segments.
  • Diversified manufacturing footprint — 22 plants in India plus plants in UK, Slovakia and Thailand (23 operational units as of RHP date), supported by three engineering/design centres and seven warehouses.
