UCAL Ltd is focusing on product diversification, advanced manufacturing, electronics and technology-led engineering solutions to strengthen its position across the global automotive, industrial and manufacturing sectors.
The company is leveraging its four decades of engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer relationships to expand into a technology-driven engineering solutions business.
New products drive growth
“The future is not created by moving away from our strengths, but by leveraging and expanding their possibilities.
“Our four decades of engineering expertise, manufacturing excellence and customer partnerships provide a strong foundation as we evolve into a technology-driven engineering solutions company serving a wide spectrum of global automotive and industrial customers,” said Deputy MD & CEO, Adithya Srivatsa Jayakar, in a letter to shareholders.
Combine experience with agility
“The organisations that will succeed in the future will be those that combine experience with agility, precision with intelligence and manufacturing excellence with innovation.”
“At UCAL, this philosophy has guided our investments in technology, product diversification, advanced manufacturing capabilities and organisational development,” he said.
Strong order book
“The strategic focus on new product development delivered significant results, with revenue from new systems and solutions recording quantum growth during the year.”
“A strong order book across new products provides a solid foundation for continued growth in the near future,” he said.
Focus on future mobility
“Innovation remains central to UCAL’s future growth strategy.
“Our focus continues to be on developing value-engineered solutions aligned with emerging mobility trends — electrification, hybridisation, fuel efficiency, lightweighting and intelligent systems,” Jayakar said.
“Supported by our strong R&D ecosystem and dedicated electronics capabilities, we are building competencies that will enable us to participate meaningfully in the future of mobility.”
Advanced functionality
“The convergence of mechanical engineering, electronics and digital intelligence is redefining the automotive industry.
“UCAL’s strength lies in integrating these disciplines to create intelligent solutions that combine precision engineering with advanced functionality,” he said.
Electronics becomes growth pillar
“Electronics will increasingly become an important growth driver as mobility platforms transition towards software-defined, connected systems.
“To accelerate this capability, we are investing in electronics development, AI-enabled manufacturing processes, specialised talent creation and strategic technology partnerships,” Jayakar said.
“Our objective is to build electronics and embedded intelligence as a significant pillar of UCAL’s future growth,” he said.
Expanding global opportunities
“As we look ahead, the mobility landscape will continue to change rapidly.
“The opportunities will belong to organisations that can combine deep engineering expertise with technological agility, operational excellence with innovation, and customer understanding with the ability to anticipate future needs,” Jayakar said.
“At UCAL, we remain focused on strengthening customer partnerships, accelerating innovation and building a global organisation that is resilient, agile and future-driven.”
Tier-I suppliers
“While we are maximising our aftermarket opportunities in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, our customer focus in North America and Europe would be the Tier-1 space for advanced carburetor applications,” he said.
“We are confident that our strong foundation and committed people will consolidate UCAL’s position as a globally recognised engineering company for the automotive, industrial and manufacturing sectors,” Jayakar said.
