Vivek Chaand Sehgal, Chairman, Motherson, said, “ We are well-positioned to navigate evolving tariffs with the majority of our sales in the US being USMCA compliant. For non USMCA compliant parts, agreements with customers to pass on related costs are in progress, albeit with a lag. Further, recently levied tariffs on India do not have any material impact on our operations. While uncertainties in the business environment persist, it also offers inorganic opportunities for growth. The trust and confidence of our customers continue to be a key driver of our success. Our teams across the globe are committed to delivering on our vision and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
