Ring Gears: This is one of the critical components that sits on the Engine Flywheel and engages with the pinion of the starter motor to crank the engine upon Starting. The ring gear transfers starting torque from the starter to the engine crankshaft. Ring gears have a diversified industry presence and are typically used in passenger cars, trucks, tractors, earth-moving equipment, marine engines, lawn movers, and industrial/power generation.
-
Water Pump Bearings: This is one of the critical components that replaces the conventional water pump assembly with an integral shaft bearing. It circulates coolant from the radiator across the engine to keep it cool.
-
Flexplates: A Flexplate is an important part of the Powertrain in Automatic Transmission Vehicles. It acts as a coupling between the Engine & Transmission and connects the output of the engine to the input of a torque converter for transmitting power from the Engine to the Transmission. It also acts as a dampener & avoids the transfer of vibrations from the Engine to the Transmission. Flexplate, along with the Torque converter,r takes the place of the flywheel & clutch assembly, which is typically found in a conventional manual transmission setup.

-
The company's revenue, which represents total sales, saw a notable increase of around 15% when excluding other income and over 16% when including it. This reflects improved business performance and possibly higher demand for its products or services.
-

-
Another source is sales of products outside the country that are exported in FY2,4 the export was Rs. 231.09 Crores and in FY23 was Rs. 200.16 Crores, so here we can see that both the sales domestically and through export contributed to an increase in revenue from operations of the company.
-
In terms of assets and liabilities, there has been a substantial increase of nearly 253%. This sharp rise suggests that the company has either expanded its operations, made new investments, or taken on significant obligations.
