He also flagged a structural shift in pricing, with the median industry selling price expected to rise to around ₹15 lakh by FY31, up from ₹11–12 lakh in FY26, driven by richer product mix and higher technology adoption.

The company’s capex intensity is estimated at around 7% of revenue, with total investment projected between ₹37,500 crore and ₹40,000 crore from FY27 to FY31, front-loaded to support capacity creation and future growth.
