CSR and Sustainability


The company aims to empower communities across India, and is involved in several CSR activities. Tata Elxsi strives to serve societal, local, and national goals in all its operation locations and create a positive impact on the communities affected by its business activities. It also gives its employees the opportunity to contribute through volunteering. In 2004, a team of volunteers formed “Social Activity Forum of Elxsians” (SAFE) which provided scholarships, books and stationery, arranged medical camps, field trips, and sponsored nutritious meals for school children. Today it has turned into two flagship programs in line with the needs of Indian society.

Criticism


Tata Elxsi has faced little criticism over the past few years, and faces some challenges. They are:
  1. Declining Per Unit Revenue - Increased players and competition in the Software and Programming industry is adding pressure on the profitability of the company.
  2. Slow Decision Making Process - The company is known for its deliberative decision making approach leading to prudent decisions, but also leads to missed opportunities in new venture efforts.
  3. High Operating Costs - In comparison to its competitors in the marketplace, the enterprise has high operating costs which may get hard to sustain in light of newer players.
  4. Easy to Imitate - Tata Elxsi’s business model can be easily imitated by competitors in its field.
  5. Dependence on Experts - There are very few employees in the company who are responsible for the knowledge base. It would pose a big challenge in the present conditions to replace them.
  6. Loyalty among suppliers is low as the company often introduced new concepts to reduce the prices in the supply chain.

COVID-19 Impact


The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the shift to working from home, leading to an increased dependence on digital technology, including in the healthcare industry and the OTT space. This led to a lot of upward trends in the adoption and upgrade of technology, giving Tata Elxsi a great opportunity. As of April 2022, the shares of the company increased 725% in the last three years. The net profit increased by 49.32% to Rs; 549.67 crore in the last fiscal, while it was Rs. 368.12 crore for March 2021 fiscal and Rs. 256 for March 2020 fiscal. Similarly, sales also climbed to Rs. 2,470 crore for the fiscal ended March 2022 against Rs. 1609 crore for March 2020 fiscal.

Future Prospects


A majority of brokerage firms had ‘buy’ for Tata Elxsi shares in the past month, however, most of them have switched to ‘sell’ now, as the price target set by it has been reached. It has been continuing its previous falling trend, and the share has broken its medium-term moving average (50-day EMA) and crashed to a 15-day low. Previously, the stock continued to fall after breaking its medium-term moving average. As the key technical indicators switched from the higher levels, it has now turned towards the bears. The index could thus lead towards its 100-day SMA initially and 200-day SMA, subsequently, and is likely to face hurdle 10,000-mark.
