ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC – Part 84: Can rising demand for decorative features drive this auto ancillary's growth?
A car can change its engine and still look almost the same. It can also keep the same engine and look so different that buyers happily pay more for it. That is the peculiar corner of the automobile industry this story explores. For one listed supplier, the shift to EVs may be less threatening than it sounds. The bigger question is whether changing consumer preferences can help it build a more valuable business.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 83: Under this auto ancillary’s hood, sales and profits tell different stories
Some auto suppliers spend years trying to win a major customer. This business has been associated with one for four decades. That has helped build manufacturing scale, product capabilities, and a presence near auto plants. But it also creates an unusual equation for investors. Nearly 90% of the company's FY26 revenue is from sales to one related customer. Its portfolio spans parts that can survive the EV transition and others more closely tied to ICE vehicles. The story is about how durable customer access becomes durable returns.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 82: This auto ancillary’s name tells only 20% of the story. What’s the other 80%?
The shift towards electric vehicles, or EVs, is forcing traditional auto-component suppliers to reconsider their future. For some, it threatens core products. For others, it creates opportunities in components that can survive the death of the combustion engine. This supplier finds itself on both sides of that transition. Its original business is exposed to ICE vehicles, while its manufacturing division has developed products relevant to EVs. Alongside, the company is pursuing other initiatives. Will these translate into stronger profits, or will rising financial obligations limit the benefits?

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 81: Momentum in numbers will decide fate of this auto ancillary's stock
A few years back, the important question for this auto ancillary supplier was whether its investments and customer programmes would begin producing enough revenue. Today, the numbers look very different. Annual income has jumped, exports have risen, and a large overseas-linked order has helped deliver a record quarter. How much of the improvement is repeatable, and how much reflects an unusual opportunity?
ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 80: This auto ancillary has assets and cash to expand. Can it find demand?
Eighty instalments into our weekly auto ancillary series, one thing is clear: The investment story of a component maker cannot always be understood from its products alone. Ownership changes, capital allocation, customer relationships, and financial history can be equally important. This week's business illustrates that complexity. Part 80 examines how different forces come together, and what they could mean for a manufacturer whose future may look quite different from its past.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or Bankruptcy? Part 79: 5 years changed the size of this auto supplier. Will it pass the quality test?

For investors, the story is shifting from whether the company can grow to whether the additional capital can generate better returns.

ET Prime Special Series: Multibagger or IBC - Part 78: A tech company hiding inside an auto-parts maker. But with a weak spot
This is one of the most exciting businesses in the sector: A technology company disguised as an auto-parts maker, growing fast, earning exceptional returns, and generating real cash. It is also one of the most concentrated. A single buyer accounts for roughly three-quarters of its sales, and a single type of component for roughly three-quarters of its material costs. The upside is obvious. The fragility is the part investors have to weigh.
