About Dhoot Transmission

Dhoot Transmission designs and manufactures automotive wiring harnesses, battery packs, sensors, controllers and related components. Wiring harnesses account for about 77.1% of FY26 revenue, and the firm commands roughly 41% share in two‑ and three‑wheeler segments.

Why EVs Matter

Electric vehicles are a key growth driver, with EV‑related revenue rising from 16.2% in FY24 to 24.2% in FY26. Analysts note that wiring content in a two‑wheeler EV can be 1.5‑2.5 times that of an ICE counterpart, boosting the company's exposure to the electrification trend.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the IPO’s attractive GMP reflects strong market optimism, but long‑term investors must assess the underlying EV exposure and margin sustainability before committing.

"A high GMP signals market enthusiasm, but investors should treat it as a signal, not a guarantee," says financial analyst Rajat Singh.
