In short: Baron (India Fund): "the largest manufacturer of enameled copper winding wire in India, with approximately 30% market share." The product is an unavoidable input — "critical inputs for power transformers, generators, and electric motors" — sold "across automotive, aerospace and defense, power, electronics, home appliances, and infrastructure end markets." Two compounding demand curves: "India's power-sector upcycle, with accelerated power generation capacity additions expected to drive sustained demand for winding wire," and "growth in India's electric vehicle market… supporting increasing demand for EV-grade winding wire." Same model as the fund's other India name: "15% to 20% compounded revenue growth over the next three to five years," on "scale of operations, strong innovation capabilities, and relationships with original equipment manufacturers."
Precision Wires makes enamelled copper winding wire — copper wire coated in insulation, wound into coils inside transformers, generators and electric motors. It is the largest producer in India with about 30% of the market, selling into cars, aerospace and defence, power, electronics, appliances and infrastructure.
The appeal is that it is an unavoidable input into two things India is doing at once. The country is adding electricity generation capacity quickly, and every generator, transformer and substation consumes this wire. Separately, electric vehicles need a specialised grade of the same product, and India's EV market is growing from a small base.
Baron model 15-20% compound revenue growth over three to five years, resting on scale, the ability to develop new grades, and long relationships with the manufacturers that design it into their products.
