The JV envisaged total buyout of Pricol by Denso in five years and involved transfer by Pricol, of its 'Denso Technology Instrument Cluster Undertaking' relating to four-wheeler personal passenger vehicles, situated at Coimbatore and Gurgaon to Pricol Components, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pricol. Denso acquired 51% stake in Pricol Components after the transfer.
Yeah, DPIN, which had revenues of around Rs 70 crore in 2013-14, was supplying instrument clusters exclusively to Japanese carmakers Toyota, Honda and Suzuki. Is this what you are looking for?
DPIN has now become the wholly-owned subsidiary of Denso. The JV was making huge losses. The business was not going as per plan, according to Vikram Mohan, MD of Pricol. I hope this helps.
With losses mounting, auto instruments manufacturer Pricol has exited its joint venture with Japanese partner Denso Corporation, when it sold its 49% stake in Denso Pricol India (DPIN) to Denso for a consideration of Rs 20 crore.
