Systematix Institutional Equities has recently given JTEKT India (JIL), which makes steering systems, a “Buy” recommendation. They think the company is doing well because it’s the biggest player in India’s steering systems market. JIL is also planning to build a bigger factory to make more parts.

The analysts highlighted that JIL has a big advantage – it sells its steering systems to many of the biggest car makers in India, like Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and Hyundai. They’re also making more of a special type of part called a “Constant Velocity Joint” (CVJ), which are more expensive and help the company make more money. This is good news because CVJs are becoming more popular.

To make things even better, JIL is starting to sell its products to other countries, especially to Brazil, thanks to an order from its parent company, JTEKT Corp. This means more people want JIL’s parts, and that helps the company make even more profit.

Systematix expects JIL’s profits to grow a lot over the next few years. They predict that JIL’s profits will increase by about 240 “basis points” (which is a fancy way of saying a small amount) by 2028. This means JIL will make more money, and the company’s parts will become even more valuable.

The analysts believe JIL will sell more parts and that this will help them grow by about 12% each year from 2025 to 2028. They also think JIL will earn more money from each part they sell, and that JIL’s overall profits will increase by 23% each year. And because of all of this, JIL’s profits will grow by 29% each year from 2025 to 2028.

JIL is also getting better at making money for every dollar it earns. They expect their “Return on Capital Employed” (RoCE) – a way to measure how well JIL is using its money – to go up to more than 14% by 2028. Right now, it’s around 11%.

To figure out how much JIL’s stock is worth, Systematix has set a target price of ₹192. They’re using a method that looks at how much companies usually cost, and they believe JIL’s stock will be worth this amount by December 2027. This means the stock could go up by 33% from its price on December 23, 2025, which was ₹144.11.

As of December 24, 2025, at 10:50 AM, JIL’s stock was trading at ₹144.5, which is a little bit higher than it was the day before. The overall stock market (the NSE Nifty50) was also up a bit, showing that the market is generally doing well. JIL’s total value is approximately ₹4,008 crore.

Here’s what’s driving Systematix’s positive view of JTEKT India:

• Steering Systems Lead: JIL controls 96% of revenue from steering systems, with a 35% market share.
• Growth in Steering Systems: This segment is predicted to grow 10% annually from 2025-2028.
• CVJ Innovation: Expanding CVJ offerings increase profit margins.
• Rising Exports: Increased sales to JTEKT Brazil boosts revenue and profits.
• Strong OEMs: JIL serves major Indian automakers with significant market share.

The best investment decisions are made with confidence and a clear understanding of the market’s potential.
