The demand for two-wheelers in India has increased as a result of urbanization, a growing middle class, and increased affordability.

The two-wheeler sector of the automotive industry, as well as other policies and initiatives, have been supported by the Indian government.

Risks and concerns
Major revenue comes from dealership of Yamaha (Commercial): The company’s growth is highly dependent on the growth of its OEMs like Yamaha Motors (Commercial). The company is subject to concentration risk in the event of any adverse events or financial distress, including bankruptcy, impacting Yamaha Motors (Commercial). Its OEMs are entitled to unilaterally terminate and could attempt to terminate all or certain of their dealership arrangements with it in the event of breach of any of the terms and conditions agreed upon under the dealership agreements. If the company’s OEMs become insolvent or bankrupt it can terminate the dealership agreement with them but it may be unable to collect some or all of the receivables due from such OEM(s). Non-renewal or termination or to require adverse material modifications of its dealership agreements with its OEMs or any adverse material modifications made by its OEMs thereto, will have a material and adverse impact on its business prospects and results of operations. Further, these OEMs may be adversely impacted by economic downturns, governmental laws and regulations, import restrictions, significant declines in the sales of their new vehicles, natural disasters, pandemics such as COVID-19, increases in interest rates, decline in their credit ratings, labor strikes, supply shortages or rising raw material costs, rising employee benefit costs, vehicle recall campaigns, product defects, unappealing vehicle designs, adverse publicity that may reduce consumer demand for their vehicles, competition from other OEMs, failure to appropriately adapt to changing customer preferences, poor product mix or other adverse events.
Vehicles and commercial vehicles sale is subject to seasonality: Sale of bikes and commercial vehicles is subject to seasonality as it typically sees a dip in sales during the first quarter of each financial year. The company’s sales are considerably higher during the second and third quarter of the year due to the festival season like Diwali, Navratri, Dussehra etc. Accordingly, its results of operations in one quarter may not accurately reflect the trends for the entire financial year and may not be comparable with its results of operations for other quarters.
Geographical constrain: The company’s 100% of the total revenue is concentrated and derived from dealership operations in the state of Delhi. The concentration of all of its operations in Delhi heightens its exposure to adverse developments related to regulation, as well as economic, demographic and other changes in the state. In the event of a slowdown in the economic activity in the state, or any other developments including natural disasters, political unrest, disruption or sustained economic downturn, it may experience an adverse impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition, which are largely dependent on the performance and other prevailing conditions affecting the economies of the state. Furthermore, the states of Delhi have experienced social and civil unrest in the past and such tensions could lead to political or economic instability and a possible adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that such situations will not recur or be more intense than in the past.
