Sony India targets ₹10,000 crore revenue in 3 years, led by audio
Consumer electronics maker Sony India is eyeing a topline of ₹10,000 crore in the coming two to three years, as the share from audio categories continues to rise, a top company executive said on Monday. India remains the fourth-largest market by revenue for Sony Corporation globally. 'The contribution of the audio segment is growing by a couple of percentage points each year. In the coming year, we expect to clock double-digit growth and reach overall revenues of ₹10,000 crore in the midterm,' said Sunil Nayyar, Managing Director, Sony India, at a media roundtable during the launch of two new soundbar models as part of its BRAVIA Theatre home entertainment line. Audio and imaging will be the two big drivers of growth toward the company's revenue goals, Nayyar said, adding that Sony is also working to create fresh demand in the imaging segment. 'We want to change the culture of clicking photos on the phone, which is how it used to be earlier,' he said. Audio currently contributes 13–15 per cent to the company's overall revenue, while televisions remain its largest business, accounting for 55–60 per cent. Digital imaging makes up 20–22 per cent, with the remaining revenue coming from products such as the PlayStation. On the issue of rare earth magnet availability, amid China's trade restrictions, company officials said they are not facing any supply challenges. Sony India witnessed double-digit growth in the last financial year. In FY23–24, the company recorded revenue of ₹7,664 crore. Regarding product performance, Nayyar said the TV segment saw growth in the over-55-inch category, while other segments within the category remained stagnant. 'The over-55-inch segment is a big segment and is growing at a high rate,' he noted. Meanwhile, PlayStation sales have quadrupled in the last three years, signalling a rising gaming culture in India. Speaking on quick commerce, where Sony made headlines by selling the PS5, Nayyar said the emerging channel is promising. 'The channel, although very new, has shown promise. We saw traction for the PlayStation and are seeing promise in headphones and speakers too. It is a small business currently but can become bigger as we move forward,' he said. Despite the entry of new players into the Indian market, the company remains focused on maintaining its premium positioning. 'We continue to be a premium brand and are not competing with mass-market price points. We make sure we are reasonably premium, can justify the value proposition to customers, and remain their go-to premium brand,' Nayyar added.

VinFast aims to establish 120 Extended Service Workshops by partnering with potential service providers to boost its aftersales operations across India.

The association focuses on delivering exceptional service quality through workshops equipped with genuine parts, advanced diagnostic and repair equipment, and highly trained technical personnel. 'This strategic collaboration with myTVS to expand our comprehensive after-sales service network demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Indian market and our dedication to customer satisfaction,' said Pham Sanh Chau, CEO, VinFast Asia. The electric carmaker is likely to enter the Indian market by the end of July 2025. As per report, the launch schedule for VinFast's electric SUVs has been postponed by about one month due to insufficient sales network development. Manufacturing operations at Vinfast's Tamil Nadu facility, initially planned to commence on June 30, have been rescheduled to July 30. Last week, VinFast announced plans to showcase its premium electric SUV models, the VF 7 and VF 6, across 11 states and cities in India. Natarajan Srinivasan, CEO, myTVS, said, 'We are confident that this unique partnership will enable VinFast to scale growth backed by our technology powered after-sales service platform. This partnership also validates the myTVS business model of building and delivering a high-quality, convenient, transparent and digitally powered after-market service platform to support the ambitions of India's automobile sector.'

9 sectors have potential to generate up to $738 billion revenue in India by 2030: Report
New Delhi: Driven by sound fundamentals and a resilient economy, Indian firms in nine sectors could collectively generate between $588 billion and $738 billion in revenues by 2030, according to a new report. McKinsey & Company said in its report that this represents a three-and-a-half fold surge from $164-206 billion pegged in 2023. The nine sector are: e-commerce, semiconductor, Cloud services, cybersecurity, electric vehicle and battery, artificial intelligence (AI) software and services, space, nuclear fission, and robotics. According to the report, the sectors were chosen based on either patent activity being twice the median or research and development (R&D) investment outpacing the national average by a factor of two. In e-commerce, revenue estimates project a four-fold increase, from $60–70 billion in 2023 to $240–300 billion by 2030. In the electric vehicle (EV) sector, revenues are expected increase six-fold to eight-fold to touch $40–60 billion by the end of the decade. In the space sector, revenues are expected to rise fourfold to fivefold by 2030, according to the report. Semiconductor revenues are expected to treble from $40-45 billion in 2023 to $100-120 billion by 2030, it added. Moreover, Cloud-related revenues are projected to increase fourfold to fivefold between 2023 and 2030, reaching $70–80 billion. Despite an uncertain and challenging global economic backdrop, the Indian economy remains a key driver of global growth, underpinned by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and prudent macroeconomic policies, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The domestic financial system is exhibiting resilience fortified by healthy balance sheets of banks and non-banks, said the Central Bank. Financial conditions have eased supported by accommodative monetary policy and low volatility in financial markets. The strength of the corporate balance sheets also lends support to overall macroeconomic stability.
