Adroit Industries (India) Limited, a maker of propeller shafts, driveline systems and other automotive components, can trace its company legacy over several decades. The company serves customers in the automotive and industrial markets and has grown through factory investments, product diversification and an overseas presence. The company has diversified its product portfolio, enhanced its manufacturing infrastructure and grown its position in domestic and foreign markets throughout the years. It has also added new elements, such as aluminium driveline components, and continues to evolve in operational capabilities.
At the same time, the business is exposed to risks associated with the automotive industry, dependence on distributor-led sales, purchase order-based customer relationships, raw material availability, supply chain disruptions, and execution of expansion plans. Manufacturing operations also have to meet quality, safety and regulatory criteria.
India’s auto component business is an integral part of the country’s industrial ecosystem. It serves industries such as passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, agriculture, construction equipment, railways, defence and industrial machines. According to the industry overview in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), demand for propeller shafts and driveline components is affected by vehicle production, replacement demand, exports and investments in infrastructure and manufacturing.

Adroit Industries (India) Limited traces its origins to 1966 when it was established as a partnership firm under the name M/s Adroit Industries India. The business was converted into a public limited company in 1995. Since then, the company has expanded through acquisitions, capacity additions, and investments in manufacturing infrastructure.
In 1995, it acquired a manufacturing plant at Sanwer Road, Indore, for propeller shaft production. It later added an in-house forging facility at Dewas and, over time, expanded its operations through subsidiaries and new product development. In 2025, the company launched aluminium driveline components and reported a portfolio of more than 5,000 SKUs.
Adroit Industries manufactures propeller shafts, driveline systems and related vehicle components. Its products are used across several end-user industries and applications that require mechanical power transmission.
The company serves customers in:
Passenger vehicles
Commercial vehicles
Agricultural equipment
Industrial machinery
Replacement and aftermarket segments
Export markets
It operates manufacturing facilities in Madhya Pradesh and also has subsidiaries that support its domestic and international business operations.
The company primarily generates revenue from the sale of manufactured products.
Its customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier-1 suppliers, distributors and aftermarket participants. Distributor-led sales provide a large amount of revenue, and automotive applications represent a large portion of product sales. The company also serves international customers through exports and its overseas subsidiary.
Adroit Industries is engaged in the automobile components business, especially in propeller shafts and driveline components. The company has developed forging, machining, balancing and assembly manufacturing capabilities and expanded its product portfolio to meet changing customer needs.
It markets items in the domestic and overseas markets for both automotive and industrial uses.
India’s automotive components industry benefits from the growth of vehicle manufacturing, exports, replacement demand, and investments in transportation and industrial infrastructure. Propeller shafts and driveline components play a vital role in transmitting power and supporting vehicle performance throughout passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and specialised equipment within this ecosystem.
According to the industry overview included in the DRHP, the global automotive sector is undergoing changes driven by electrification, lightweight engineering, digital technologies, and evolving emission standards. Despite these changes, shafts and driveline systems continue to remain essential mechanical components in several vehicle platforms.
The DRHP also adds that propeller shafts find use outside the automotive industry. They can be used in trains, construction equipment, industrial machinery, defence equipment and material handling systems.
Government initiatives to encourage domestic production and infrastructure and promote quality standards have also contributed to the growth of the Indian automotive components market. Manufacturers in the precision engineering divisions continue to invest in technology, automation and capacity growth to satisfy the changing needs of customers.

The company traces its origins back to 1966 and has several decades of experience in manufacturing propeller shafts and driveline components. Its long presence in the industry has enabled it to build technical capabilities and customer relationships over time.
Adroit Industries operates manufacturing facilities covering forging, machining, balancing, and assembly processes. In-house manufacturing capabilities provide greater control over production and quality management.
The company manufactures a range of driveline products and has expanded into aluminium driveline components. It also offers more than 5,000 SKUs, serving different customer requirements across automotive and industrial applications.
In addition to serving customers in India, the company has expanded internationally through its Canadian subsidiary, supporting overseas distribution and market access.
According to the DRHP, the company intends to utilise part of the IPO proceeds towards capital expenditure, including procurement of machinery and equipment for manufacturing facilities and investment in its subsidiary to enhance operational capabilities.
A significant portion of the company’s revenue is derived from automotive applications. Any slowdown in vehicle production or demand could affect business performance.
Distributor channels account for a substantial share of product revenue. Any disruption in these relationships may have an impact on sales.
Many customer relationships are based on purchase orders rather than long-term contracts. Changes in ordering patterns could influence revenue visibility.
