LUMAX GROUP DRIVING TOWARDS TOMORROW In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, Lumax Group stands as a beacon of innovation, engineering excellence, and strategic foresight. Comprising Lumax Industries Limited and Lumax Auto Technologies Limited, the Group has carved a formidable niche in India’s mobility ecosystem, serving nearly every major Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the country. With a legacy rooted in quality and a future defined by transformation, Lumax continues to redefine what it means to be a technology partner in the automotive sector.

At the heart of Lumax’s success is its expansive product portfolio, which spans lighting systems, integrated plastic modules, telematics, electrical and electronics components, gear shifters, and more. This

diversity not only reflects the Group’s technical depth but also its agility in responding to the dynamic needs of OEMs across passenger, commercial, and two-wheeler segments.

Whether it’s a compact city car or a high-performance SUV, Lumax components are integral to the driving experience, often debuting in the latest vehicle launches across India.

A key differentiator for Lumax is its strategic approach to global collaboration. Through Joint Ventures with leading international players, the Group brings cutting-edge technologies to Indian roads, technologies that meet the expectations of a discerning customer base increasingly exposed to global standards. These partnerships have enabled Lumax to stay ahead of the curve, integrating advanced lighting solutions, smart electronics, and connected vehicle systems that align with global trends in safety, efficiency, and user experience.

The establishment of the SHIFT (Software Hardware Integration Functional Technology) Centre in Bengaluru marks a pivotal moment in Lumax’s journey. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to accelerate the Group’s software capabilities, enabling deeper integration of digital technologies into its product offerings. From embedded systems to vehicle digitisation, SHIFT is poised to be the nerve center of Lumax’s next-generation innovations, supporting the transition toward intelligent mobility.

As the auto industry embraces electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity, sustainability, and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), Lumax Group is future-ready and actively aligning its innovation roadmap to these long-term trends.

The technical centers at the Czech Republic and the Taiwan o ce and the SHIFT Centre in Bengaluru further strengthen its design, technology and software

capabilities, enabling smarter, more connected mobility solutions for tomorrow’s vehicles.

Lumax Group’s progression from a Tier 1 supplier to a Tier 0.5 partner highlights its growing role in co-creating solutions with OEMs. Rather than supplying individual components, Lumax now delivers integrated systems that combine hardware, software, and design expertise. This collaborative approach enables tailored solutions for specific vehicle platforms, streamlining development and enhancing value for OEMs.

1,500

Engineers Driving Lumax’s Technological Evolution.

Behind every breakthrough is a team of brilliant minds. Lumax’s engineering strength, over 1,500 engineers across verticals, are the backbone of its transformation. These engineers are not just executing projects; they are shaping the future of mobility. Their expertise in design, simulation, validation, and manufacturing ensures that every Lumax product meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

As India’s automotive industry embraces electrification, connectivity, and autonomous technologies, Lumax Group is not only an active participant, it is leading. With a blend of indigenous capability and global insight, the Group continues to push boundaries, delivering solutions that are smart, sustainable, and future-ready.

Technology related statements: Lighting technology in the Indian automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by the shift toward premiumisation, safety regulations, and energy efficiency.

OEMs are adopting LED, projector, and DRL-based architectures even in entry and mid-segment vehicles, improving visibility, styling differentiation, and power consumption. The rise of EVs is accelerating

this change, with OEMs leveraging full-width LED signatures, animated welcome sequences, and intelligent light controllers to create brand identity and enhance user experience. At the same time, the supply base is moving toward higher local value addition in optics, drivers, and semiconductors, while preparing for next-gen technologies such as adaptive beam arrays, micro-LED modules, and connected lighting that integrates with ADAS and telematics ecosystems.

Our automotive ecosystem is undergoing a sweeping technology transformation with not just electrification, but with digitisation, and intelligent electronics reshaping vehicle architectures and also playing a change agent role with Manufacturing Excellence. OEMs are transitioning from mechanically dominant platforms to software-defined, electronics-heavy designs powered by advanced power electronics, high-energy battery systems, domain controllers, and

connected vehicle stacks. This shift is complemented by the rise of ADAS, cybersecurity frameworks, OTA-enabled electronics, and data-driven lifecycle management. Simultaneously, Tier-1s are moving up the value chain-localizing semiconductors, sensors, and ECUs; expanding capabilities in embedded software and powertrain electronics; and adopting automation and AI-enabled manufacturing.

The Lumax Group must continue evolving from a traditional component manufacturer into a holistic electronics-driven systems provider, aligning with the rapid shift toward intelligent, software-enabled mobility. This transformation requires deepening capabilities in advanced lighting electronics, sensors, actuators, and integrated mechatronic systems while strengthening in-house competencies in embedded software, power electronics, and semiconductor-driven architectures. Lumax should move toward modular, platform-ready

In a world where vehicles are becoming more than machines, evolving into digital platforms and lifestyle extensions, Lumax Group’s technical expertise is the silent force driving this transformation. For employees, partners, and customers alike, it’s a story of pride, purpose, and progress.

solutions-such as intelligent lighting modules, ADAS-aligned sensing components, electronics centric, and connected body-control systems, supported by robust design, validation, and cybersecurity frameworks. At the same time, investing in R&D partnerships, local electronics ecosystems, and digital manufacturing will be critical to improving innovation speed, cost competitiveness, and resilience, enabling Lumax to play a larger role in India’s transition to future-ready, software-defined vehicles.

This initiative goes beyond medical care - it brings hope, independence, and a brighter tomorrow for those whose daily lives are impacted by vision challenges.

BREAKING BARRIERS, BUILDING AWARENESS During the first quarter of this year, our NGO partner Sakshi conducted detailed need assessment surveys in Khoda and Zolapur villages in Gujarat. These assessments went beyond statistics, they opened conversations with women, adolescent girls, and families, uncovering the real struggles hidden behind everyday life.

The surveys and interactions revealed pressing issues such as:

workers, Gram Panchayat leaders, and school staff, helping us build trust and prepare a strong foundation for interventions.

With this groundwork, the team is now prepared to have focused Health & Hygiene Awareness Campaigns in the villages, designed to break barriers, spread knowledge, and inspire behaviour change.

• Repeated pregnancies in the hope of a male child.

• Early marriages leading to early pregnancies.

• Lack of awareness on menstrual hygiene and adolescent health.

• Gutka addiction affecting family well-being.

• Late detection of cancers due to low awareness.

• Growing cases of infections among adolescents.

These insights were further strengthened through our engagement with PHC Zolapur, Anganwadi and ASHA
