spring segment (90% of sales), including products like the conventional leaf

Post a 2-year downturn, the MHCV industry in India is registering a recovery. JAI is
the largest player in the domestic leaf spring industry with 64% market share whilst
several other small companies contribute to the remaining 36% share. JAI is
expected to be a significant beneficiary of the CV cycle recovery in India.
JAI’s multiple plant location strategy in proximity to CV OEM customers has helped
the company maintain its dominance in the leaf spring industry. At present, the
company has six facilities located close to major CV manufacturing hubs in India
and this has helped JAI gain a significant share of business (SOB) with leading CV
OEMs. Apart from scale, the strategic location of its plants has helped it to manage
cost efficiently by reducing freight expenses.
Additionally, the company has forayed into the air suspension and lift axle segment
via a technology tie-up with Ridewell, USA. Implementation of GST (Goods and
Services Tax), will open up a significant aftermarket opportunity (i.e. ~4x OEM
industry) for organized suspension leaf spring manufacturers such as JAI.
