Expansion of Torque Actuator Motors Portfolio:
Expansion of Product Portfolio for various applications in 4W:
IMIL is continuing its efforts to adopt its key product for various application in the automotive engine air management segment namely in the areas of Intake Throttle, Turbo and Exhaust for both Global and Indian market. They have expanded from being purely in the ETC space to being a player in EGR, WGA, VGT, and CCV.
Penetration into Domestic 4W Torque Actuator Motors:
Domestic TAM Motor volume growth is expected from FY22 onwards with penetration into the 4W domestic market due to adoption of BS-VI norms. IMIL has launched 10 programmes for top domestic Tier-1 customers with few more launches in the pipeline.
Tapping Potential 2-Wheeler Torque Actuator Motors :
Indian 2W OEMs are looking at changeover from Carburettor system to electronic throttle valve system (BS-VI) which has potential to expand their product portfolio to 2W TAM in domestic market with a couple of major players. The potential is 150+ cc segment of around 15-25% in 2W market in the near term.
Entry into Safety & New Comfort Space – 4-Wheeler:
Electric Parking Brake (EPB):
EPB is increasingly becoming common in new cars due to its feature-rich capabilities. Since this product is common for both ICE/BEV technology, IMIL is focusing on diversifying its product portfolio into Technology agnostic in this space. Their R&D desk is carrying out the launch processes targeting both domestic and global markets.
Trunk Opening and Closing Device (TOCD) & Seat Application
Igarashi Global leads in TOCD motor applications for the global market. IMIL is assessing the launch of TOCD application with renowned players in the export and domestic market due to the ongoing geo-political issues faced by China.
Energy-Efficient BLDC Motor for Consumer Appliances Segment:
As part of “Electric Motors with Energy Competence”, IMIL launched the BLDC motor platform for consumer electrical appliances a few years back. Based on the Government push towards energy efficiency schemes from early 2022, BLDC technology has high potential to drive the Company’s growth with a mass adoption scheme to replace the conventional induction motor. Entry into the consumer appliances space with the market leader in the Ceiling Fan space was established and IMIL populated around 200K units counting on 3 models with 12 variants using a unique RF technology in the remote control unit. The company is exploring opportunities to extend this application with IoT feature added with under-light LED unit. The company is also developing a cost-effective retrofitting wall regulator option to capture mass adoption market for converting induction fans into Energy-Efficient BLDC Fan. IMIL is also working on launching motors for global markets. As a specialist BLDC Motor manufacturer, the company is also expanding energy-efficient appliances portfolio with potential designs for TPW Fans on the validation desk and air coolers on the design desk.
EV Traction Motor Platform:
A platform has also been developed for the Electric Vehicle applications. We are exploring strategic alliances to step up our play in the global automotive industry for this platform. Igarashi technology desk is gearing up to embrace the ever-changing environment by developing BLDC EV Motors with drivers for E2W/ E3W Electric Mobility (eVA Series) by CY 2024/2025 for ranges between 3KW & 10KW.
ESDM (Electronic System Design & Manufacturing):
Their work in the past few years in the area of Electric BLDC Motor Drivers and Controllers has given them the necessary base for engaging in new opportunities in the ESDM space. With the ongoing geo-political issues, they have established the SMT Manufacturing line for PCB Assembly and Controller with annual capacity of 2.5 Mio. This has helped us navigate the PCB crisis during the year. The first set of pilot supply have been approved by customers. Our Electronics R&D Team is also in discussion with various consumer appliance segment leaders to explore further opportunities in this segment.
