IPO - SWOT Analysis

Sona Comstar holds a diverse product portfolio across different areas. It is a leading manufacturer in the automotive sector. The company has focussed on product development and R&D spend in recent years. It is one of the leading manufacturers & suppliers to the global EV market. It has a consistent financial performance track record.

Despite the strengths, there are some key risks and weaknesses for Sona Comstar. Intense competition coupled with moderate global market shares in various product segments remains a key area to watch out for. Almost 75 per cent of the company's revenue comes from outside India, making it prone to foreign exchange risk.
