Good morning, everyone. On behalf of Anand Rathi Institutional Equities, we welcome you all to Q4 FY '25 Conference Call of MapmyIndia. We have with us today Mr. Rakesh Verma, Co-Founder and Chairman of the company; Mr. Rohan Verma, MD, Mappls DT Private Limited and Gtropy Systems Private Limited, which are subsidiaries of the company; Mr. Anuj Jain, our CFO; and Mr. Saurabh Somani, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.

I will now hand over the call to Mr. Rakesh Verma for his opening remarks. Post that, we will open the floor for Q&A session. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Good morning, everybody, and thank you, Shobit, for organizing this call. I would like to start saying that a strong growth in Q4 FY '25 and a good fiscal year overall. The Board was pleased to express our gratitude to all shareholders by declaring a final dividend of INR 3.5 per equity share of INR 2 each at the rate of 175% for the FY '25.

In Q4 FY '25, revenue increased by 34% year-on-year to INR 143.5 crore and EBITDA rose by 47% to INR 58 crores, and PAT grew by 28% to INR 49 crore. EBITDA margins in Q4 was 40% for FY '25, revenue rose 22% to INR 463 crores. EBITDA rose 15% to INR 179 crore and PAT rose 10% to INR 148 crore. EBITDA margin for the full year FY '25 was 39%. We are happy that momentum picked up in Q3 and Q4 FY '25.

Our Map-led business, EBITDA margin remains healthy at 47%, and our IoT-led business, EBITDA margins expanded from 12% to 14% in FY '25 as product mix improved and SaaS income increased. Our open order book grew to INR 1,500 crores at the end of FY '25. Our order book achievements give us further confidence that we are on track to our stated milestone of crossing INR 1,000 crore revenues by FY '28.

Our Consumer Tech & Enterprise Digital Transformation, C&E, revenue grew by 30% year-on-year to INR 252 crores and Automotive & Mobility Tech business revenue grew by 13% to INR 210 crores. Our Map-led revenue grew by 29% to INR 345 crores and IoT-led revenue grew by 5% to INR 117 crore. Our new licenses in automotive increased to 3-plus million in new vehicles, be it 4-wheelers, 2-wheelers, EVs as against 2.5 million during FY '24. Further, the number of new IoT devices installed, rented and sold additionally, during the year were 2.1 lakhs as against 2.9 lakhs in FY '24 due to strategic shift in focus towards SaaS revenue over hardware sales.

We acquired new B2B and B2B2C customers, including many businesses and enterprises across industry verticals. Customer diversification, deconcentration and retention continued to trend healthily. We have also started to build revenue from Southeast Asian market in alignment with our JV company, TerraLink Technologies. We are happy with the results of our prudent marketing efforts, which led to our crossing the milestone of 30 million user downloads of the Mappls App and see this as a foundation for future potential consumer business. B2C expenses for consumer business were controlled in this quarter, while we are, of course -- we, of course, continue to relentlessly innovate and invest in enhancing our existing products and technologies, and working on further vision.

With this, I would like to pass on to Rohan Verma, who would give you more insight into the government business and the IoT business.

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Good morning, everybody. This is Rohan here. Thanks, Mr. Verma. So we see large market opportunities, both in government as well as in IoT. When it comes to the government, the way that MapmyIndia is positioned and for which we are carving out this space for our wholly-owned subsidiary, which was called Vidteq. We have renamed it to Mappls DT. DT standing for digital transformation, digital twin and defense technologies that we get -- have been and can at a much larger scale provide to the government. Remember, we are positioned as a product platforms, APIs and solutions company. And so in that sense, we are able to get high-quality business, which is impactful for the government as it goes about nation building.

The other part of the market opportunity, that's quite exciting for MapmyIndia as a whole group -- as a set of group companies in the IoT space, covering both mobility SaaS and logistics SaaS, whether for people or goods movement. And so there are large opportunities there, but they have to be addressed in a prudent manner. And for that, I have taken up the MD role in Mappls DT Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of MapmyIndia focused on the government business and also have taken up the MD role in Gtropy Systems Private Limited. It's a 76% owned subsidiary and is serving currently as the delivery arm for our IoT business of the group companies and also is focused on logistics SaaS opportunity.

Thank you very much, and we'd be happy to take questions, I guess.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] The first question is from the of Mr. Shobit Singhal from Anand Rathi.

S
Shobit Singhal
analyst

Congrats, sir, on a good set of numbers. Sir, my first question is, how much of your order book now constitute of government orders? Because if I see your technical and outsourcing cost has almost tripled in FY '25 from '24. So if government orders are increasing in our overall order book, will these costs will remain elevated going forward as well? So in that sense, what is your margin guidance for FY '26 and '27?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Shobit, this is Rohan. Since this is government business, I'll -- on those of your question, I'll answer it. In the last year, government business was as a whole from a revenue point of view was in that range of 20% of the overall business. From an order book point of view also, I would say, from a new orders point of view also, it was in that similar margin -- similar percentage basis.

Like I said, the government business or the market opportunity is fairly large. We are very differently positioned than other players in the government space, while other players are primarily services businesses and are, I would say, relatively in a weaker financial position from a type of business they are getting and how they're executing, we have products, platforms, APIs and solutions. And just to answer -- one example is that we are not just talking about digital twin as a service, but Digital Transformation as an overall platform for all industries or all the segments of government, center, state and local to use us for a very wide way of use cases based on MapmyIndia's products and solutions.

And on the other extreme, Defense Technologies, obviously, that's a big theme in the last few weeks that has come about. MapmyIndia has been working very closely with different arms of the government, which are defense and emergency response or law enforcement related, covering the domains of AI or signals or, like I said, emergency response based on a wide variety of solutions. And I think this bodes well for the opportunity, but -- and also we'll be prudent in how we take that opportunity forward.

S
Shobit Singhal
analyst

Okay. And sir, second question is, we are now halfway mark currently to a guidance of achieving INR 1,000 crores of revenue by FY '28, so which means that we need to do around 30% growth in next 3 years. So what makes us confidence of achieving that target, given that our A&M revenue, which contributes around 45% now, that growth has actually slowed down since last 3 years from 40% in FY '22 to 22% in FY '24 and now 13.5% in FY '25?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Well, the -- when you're talking about 30% growth average CAGR, what confidence we have, this is not just for automotive, it is all inclusive. So that's point number one.

The second is the automotive business from the international operations is going to kick off. The JV, it has been formed, certain revenues have started coming. And I think it's a matter of 1, 2 years where you will see a good automotive revenue from the international market also.

Operator

The next question is from the line of Chandramouli Muthiah from Goldman Sachs.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

My first question is just around the mix of growth we've had this year. So we've done close to 22% Y-o-Y growth for the full year. And it appears that initially, I think at the start of the year, we would have thought IoT would have driven most of the growth. But I think with the shift in focus on some of the SaaS revenue, it looks like it's the Map-led business, which has driven most of the growth. So I think at the start of the year, we would have thought that EBITDA margin might be trending more moderate over the next 3 years heading into FY '28 because of IoT being the primary growth driver.

So just going forward between now and 2028, do we expect IoT to remain the mainstay of growth? Or is the shift in strategy now a little more focus on Map-led higher-margin growth? And just in that context, if you could comment a little bit on your 35% to 40% EBITDA margin range, how we should think about that as the new strategy sort of takes shape?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Let me say a few words on the Map-led, and then I'll ask Rohan to talk about what he's thinking about the IoT-led growth. The Map-led growth of whatever we have achieved so far, 30% in C&E and 13% in A&M has been responsible to create a growth of overall 22% because IoT fell towards only 5%. Agreed. But going forward, the A&M and the part of C&E, which is the private sector, is expected to keep growing along with the international automotive business. So we do see a good growth in this area, too, which has a higher EBITDA margin, if you are thinking like that.

The IoT and the government, Rohan can explain a bit what is his strategy, short term, midterm.

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Sure. On the government, I've kind of talked about it before. So I mean, we are going after that in a prudent way. So we do expect significant growth from government side as well, but we have to balance it out with impact on financials potentially.

IoT, actually, the opportunity is quite large. But whatever our assessment is of the last year, that while we are very -- actually, we are very happy with how the MapmyIndia core businesses of automotive, corporate and government have been driving good growth in the IoT area as well, meaning that they are selling IoT well, and that momentum will continue with a lot of IoT opportunities -- led opportunities coming from these 3 areas. We -- there's a particular reason why I've gotten into the subsidiary to look after the operation, the business, et cetera, because we feel there are opportunities to improve. So that's a good thing. I mean, overall, if you look at IoT-led margins actually improved in the year, but definitely growth was impacted.

The good thing is the SaaS revenue keeps going up. So that's the culmination of both work done before and also in year by all the teams to kind of keep growing the SaaS revenue. At the same time, to get growth, you have to do both new hardware sales, which will result in future SaaS revenue, but also SaaS revenue because that's where the margin is. So it's a relatively delicate balance. Again, we have to look at fixed cost, we have to look at variable cost as well as we have to look at growth. So I would say this is -- in the short term, I'm looking at into how to make sure that the IoT business, specifically the part that the subsidiary is playing, how that business is put on a right path. So that based on the right foundation, then growing it is strongly additive. But in the long term, our thesis on IoT stays very positive.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Got it. That's helpful. And just as a follow-up to that, if you're able to share in this current environment where we are focused on growing SaaS, is there sort of a rough estimate of what SaaS revenue is as a percentage of our total company revenue? And how that has been trending over the past couple of years as this strategy has been taking shape?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

This IoT-led, we do break out SaaS and hardware, Chandu. So what it is, is in FY '25, IoT-led SaaS was out of INR 117 crore of IoT-led revenue, INR 64 crore was from SaaS. This is versus...

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Almost 50%.

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Yes, it's about -- yes, maybe slightly more than 50% or in that 50% range, which was less than 40% the year before. Out of INR 112 crores, it was INR 45 crores. So there is clearly a shift in the SaaS revenue in the last year. And so the SaaS kind of is an outcome of previous hardware sales, but also a lot of the business that we're doing now is SaaS-led in the sense where we rent out the devices along with the SaaS. So that's why we talk about new -- I mean, we talked about selling or renting out IoT devices.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Got it. That's helpful. My second question is just around the Indonesia business. I think you did indicate that it started contributing some revenue this quarter. And I think on the presentation, there was maybe an INR 28 million loss at the net income line from that particular entity. So just wanted to understand over the next few quarters, when you expect the losses from this entity to get plugged in your initial comments over the next couple of years, you see meaningful contribution potential from this entity?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

So I think the international JV is actually going quite well. It's actually a business development phase right now. So we are -- we think that towards the end of FY '26, this share of loss should start going down. That's what our assessment is. Right now, you are seeing kind of a -- we saw INR 2.8 crores impact on our PAT due to the share of loss. But as their revenues start coming in on their somewhat fixed cost base by FY '26, and we think that they should start being a turnaround.

And in the long term, in the 5-year journey, it's going to be quite an incredible opportunity. Southeast Asia, for all intents and purposes, is a mirror of India in many ways, different, of course, in many ways, and that's why we've taken this JV with Hyundai Autoever approach. But the market opportunity in Southeast Asia is -- we see an equivalent opportunity to India. And I think we are one of the strongest players jointly as TerraLink Technologies to take up that market opportunity.

The next question is from the line of Abhishek Kumar from JM Financial.

A
Abhishek Kumar
analyst

Congratulations on a good quarter. My first question is on the order book. we have seen significant improvement in fixed price order. I'm assuming some of it is because of the higher government order share. Question is, is it -- I mean, how do we infer this? Does it mean that it's more lumpy now? Or does it also mean that it could be more predictable given it is not linked to volumes? So that's my first question.

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Yes, your last part, you are correct. It will be -- fixed price gives you more predictability, no doubt about it. And the other part, you thought that it was government-linked, not necessary. Even in the private sector, automotive and not automotive so much, corporate definitely, the fixed prices help us a lot in planning our business, which are mostly related to the licensing of Map data.

A
Abhishek Kumar
analyst

Okay. Okay. So there's no lumpiness in order book to revenue...

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Lumpiness will be there quarter-on-quarter. I mean, see, to make it simple, maybe in Q1, one customer's lumpiness will happen; in Q2, another customer's lumpiness will happen; in Q3, another customer's; Q4, another customer's. That kind of a customer-by-customer lumpiness will happen. But if you are thinking about overall revenue for the company, what we are noticing is somehow they are getting -- other than Q4, Q1, Q2, Q3, they are getting streamlined or whereas in Q4 that what you've said about the government lumpiness, completing the milestone is there.

R
Rohan Verma
executive

I'll just add that it's always best to look at MapmyIndia's year-on-year, year-to-date, quarter-on-quarter, based on movements can mislead the understanding, but anyhow, that's just we are repeating again from our side.

A
Abhishek Kumar
analyst

Yes. Now I understood. Second question is on the IoT. In 3Q, we had said that the decline was because of certain projects getting delayed and they'll probably come back in FY '26. So any update on that project? Do we have any visibility of when that can start and, therefore, help our IoT revenue overall this year?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

See, there are -- in IoT also, there are lots of different opportunities that exist in our funnel, especially when we look at the enterprise -- I mean, when I say enterprise, it could be automotive, corporate, government, any of them driving the IoT business. There are -- so in that sense, the funnel opportunities exist. Specific project -- I don't want to comment on specific projects because you don't know whether and when it may come back. At that stage, we may have foreseen that it was near us almost there, I would say.

Obviously, that then later we must have said that, that didn't fructify at that moment or it has fructified, but didn't for whatever reason.

Both that opportunity and other opportunities exist. But -- and that's a little bit what I was talking about that we want to have an IoT business that is robust, that is kind of multiferrous with a large set of funnel from various enterprise customers across both the private and public sector that we're spanning the corporate world, government world, even automotive world. And I think we're on the right path, but there are obviously a few things that we have to do, and that's the role I'm playing in the subsidiary.

A
Abhishek Kumar
analyst

Sure. One last question on defense. Rohan, you touched upon what we are doing. But given the modern warfare, drones, GPS becoming even more important. I just wanted to understand how we are looking at? Do we already have a play, especially in drones, if we can give some updates on where we are? And are we engaged with some of the government agencies in catering to some of those opportunities that might come up?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Yes. I'll say the following. If you look at MapmyIndia's suite of products and solutions, whether it's maps, whether it's navigation, whether it's tracking, whether it's workforce or field force or workflow, automation, whether it's analytics, whether it's GIS or geospatial or digital twin solutions, and whether it's our capability, not just to do this for India, but internationally, I think when you look at the sum total of it, and we look back in the last few years as to the defense businesses, our defense customers and use cases that we have already generated revenue for. And hence, that means that we have deployed those solutions for the active use of the armed forces. We are quite proud of and quite grateful that Indian Defense has chosen to work with us for various things.

I would say drones, as you said, is definitely important, but it's not the only place. I mean MapmyIndia can be used to equip feet on street, to equip vehicles, to equip command and control centers or war gaming or planning and its use actually is across the land, air and sea. So in that -- and we have disclosed in this quarterly highlights something around nautical also that we have done. And previously, we must have disclosed something that we have done for the Army.

So the opportunities are tremendous and already deployments have happened and we continue to stay engaged for new ways that the government can leverage this indigenous -- completely indigenous, AI first, navigation first, digital twin first, and digital transformation first setter solutions. So yes, it's something that one of the reasons why -- 1 of the 3 pillars of Mappls DT is defense technologies. I mean we've called it out because we really believe that we can be leveraged well there.

The next question is from the line of Anmol Garg from DAM Capital.

A
Anmol Garg
analyst

Congratulations for a good set of numbers. Firstly, I wanted to understand that as our government business grows, it will also impact our receivable days, which has already increased by some bit to around 94 days. So how do you think that -- where would this end up from the DSO cycle? And how do you think that we are going to manage the same?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Anmol, we have given some explanation in our presentation if you read it. When -- in the last quarter, if we had a 34% growth by itself, that's definitely impacted the year-end because you are talking about that for the year. And overall, we must say we accepted that the government business does require a little larger receivable return, although we don't have any bad debt. That is very important. But MapmyIndia is not short of cash, and we are not borrowing money to finance our working capital. So this is part of the business that we'll have to live with if we want to get into the government business also.

A
Anmol Garg
analyst

Understood. Understood. Sir, just a clarification that we have written that our average duration is now 3 to 4 years from our order book, which I think was higher earlier at 4 to 5 years. Is it right to assume that our higher focus on government has particularly reduced our durations? Are the durations lower in these kind of projects?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Okay. Any statement that we write is at a point of time. So the point of time today is, let's say, April or May 2025. So we analyze the order work -- open order book and felt that 3 to 4 years will get us -- get this INR 1,500 crores converted into revenue. So there's no magic number 3 to 5. Next year, based on the order book, it might be 3 years only or it might be 5 years. So that is why we are giving you a current scenario. It's not a fixed thing. I hope that clarifies.

A
Anmol Garg
analyst

Understood. Understood. And lastly, how are we thinking about advertisement spends for next year? Currently, it's only around 3% of revenues, I think. So do we plan to increase it to 5% to 6% levels? And would this have any impact on the overall margins per se? And also jointly, if you can indicate that should we assume margins for next year in a similar trajectory as this year?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

See, we have been always keeping in mind that we would like to get an EBITDA margin of 35% to 40% range. And we are seeing that, that's what we are delivering also rather better than that. So that -- there is no change in that strategy, okay? But -- so that's the best answer.

Now coming to your question of advertising expense, we do it for what adds value to the company for primarily a B2B or a B2B2C company. So we do it for that. And as I've said in my opening statement that we have controlled the B2C advertisement, but it doesn't mean that we are not promoting Mappls App. Mappls App is a cornerstone for showing what our capabilities are and what our map data is like. It's not just how many users are using. It's also a capability statement.

The next question is from the line of Gautam Rathi from CWC.

Gautam Rathi
analyst

Great set of results. Just 2 things. One, can you help us understand what portion of the current year's revenue was from the order book, which was existing as of end of FY '24? Because in the annual report, we say about 15% of the revenue of that order book would be converted in the current year, right? What would be the actual?

A

We don't have it, Gautam. Revenue from the current...

Gautam, we actually don't have it offhand. So maybe we can -- you can put a question later to our CFO.

G
Gautam Rathi
analyst

Sure. Sure. But would it be in the range of that 15% or like...

A
Anuj Jain
executive

To be honest, I don't want to make any...

R
Rohan Verma

We've talked about the open order book in a couple of ways. One is kind of new orders and then billing in the year and, hence, how we reached the end of the open order book. And we've talked about kind of fixed pricing and volume projections. And obviously, the volume FY '24 had this kind of onetime -- not onetime, just had an extremely large single order. So ex that, anyway, anything has -- so we're happy with the -- actually new order bookings also. They bode quite well for future revenue, since, I mean...

G
Gautam Rathi
analyst

Got it. Got it. Just the other thing, right? So when you say 3 to 4 years, I'm not holding to that number. But would -- is it fair to expect that INR 15 crores -- INR 1,500 crores over the, say, next 4 to 5 years or whatever, it would be more equal? Or is it like it can be also back-ended in the later part of, say, FY '28, '29?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

I don't know if I understood your question right. If you take INR 1,500 crores, whether you divide it by 3 or you divide it by 4, you get a number. And we have a certain growth plan for every year, which we have discussed. So naturally, the new orders will get consumed during the same year is a balance amount.

G
Gautam Rathi
analyst

Sir, I understand that. I was just trying to understand the INR 1,500 crore number, is it like - is it fine to expect that the 1/4 of that INR 1,500 crore will be every year and then the incremental whatever you get on top of it? Or is it that maybe FY '26 might be lower than that 1/4 number and then you build on over the next 3 years? How should we think about the trajectory...

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

If we are doing our job right and we achieve our goals, then the number -- obviously, the number will increase.

The next question is from the line of Amit Agicha from HG Hawa.

A
Amit Agicha
analyst

Most of my questions have been answered. Like would just be a follow-up. Like, I mean, how do you plan to deploy your INR 660 crore cash reserve, like any M&A or global expansions in the future?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

I think I did mention, but -- and I also said it in the Zee business interview in the morning. We do have clarity, clear vision that around INR 80 crores we'll be deploying to grow our government business and IoT business. So that's the first thing that the clarity has come. Beyond that, as we have been saying always in the past that we want to keep the cash so that as and when any opportunity comes, like the joint venture with Hyundai Autoever came, and we could immediately deploy $4 million or whatever, INR 35 crores, into that joint venture. So we are deploying. If you take it -- just add up these 3, itself it will show you that we have deployed and we are planning to deploy in the near future. And all are related to growing the business. And in terms of technology growth, new technologies and what else -- even the working capital itself.

[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Jasdeep from Clockvine Capital.

J
Jasdeep Walia
analyst

Sir, how has the government business grown in terms of sales from '24 to '25?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Yes, it's quite robust growth. I mean, overall, I would say it's grown in that 40% to 50% change. So in that sense, we are fairly happy with how that has grown.

J
Jasdeep Walia
analyst

Got it, sir. And sir, most of this government business would be reflected in the Map-led segment, right, not the IoT-led segment?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

For both. In government also, we have disclosed in the past, lots of quarterly -- in many of the quarterly highlights when you see, you would have seen IoT for state road transport corporations or for even emergency response, so various things. So in government also, we gave our whole suite of solutions, the same way in automotive and corporate that we do.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] The next question is from the line of Chandramouli Muthiah from Goldman Sachs.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Sir just had a follow-up question on, I think, some of the disclosures on Slide 8 of the quarterly presentation. So you did mention that you have signed a few deals in social media, in e-commerce, quick commerce, merchant discovery and so on. So just wanted to understand, is this a new set of wins from a diversification standpoint for the company? And if there's any color you're able to share in terms of your open order book of INR 1,500 crores, some of these newer ventures that you've been working on in diversifying the business, what would be the rough proportion of those in terms of efforts you've taken over the past couple of years?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Chandu, these are basically big -- good customer wins that we've had with -- for obviously new use cases and new requirements and some from new customers and some from existing customers. But -- and so diversification in the sense that, that is our core business. The upsell and the cross-sell has happened. Yes, if you look at the number of new customers and also the kind of growth in the existing customers, this upsell, cross-sell engine is working -- continues to work, I mean.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Got it. Got it. That's helpful. And I think the other follow-up was just, I think, one of the earlier discussion points. So you did mention that you do disclose the IoT SaaS revenue, which I think is the numbers that you quoted from the presentation. But is there some color on emerging SaaS opportunity within Map-led? Because as I understand, I think some of the newer maps that are going into some of your automotive customers also have capability for recurring revenue if end customers choose to renew some of those packs. So I just want to understand if there is some SaaS component in the IoT -- in the Map-led business as well now and if there's some quantification you're able to provide that?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

In the automotive, we have the solution under the banner of in case you know that navigation connected ADAS and electric. One of the focus that has started -- happened very seriously is on the HD map, which is a high-definition map, which is required for ADAS now. Now remember, we are in a much better situation to offer that solution because we have a really strong SD map also, the standard map also.

So when people talk about HD map in isolation without having SD map, I don't know what they are talking about. So we are definitely working on a lot of those technologies. And so our SD map will be going as part of supporting the -- along with the SD map to the automotive company. So these are some of the new things which we are working on. As a matter of fact, we have some wins also.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Got it. Got it. That's helpful. And just if you could give us some sense of the split between 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers in your automotive business? And also, if you could give us maybe the latest sort of rough color on what the average pricing would be per 2-wheeler customer and per 4-wheeler customer? Just in terms of ratios, is that something that you're share as well?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Of the rough, if I have to give you some answer, what I can safely say that in the 2-wheeler, we definitely have almost all 2-wheeler companies who matter, the top 7, 10 companies, we are there. So that's one part of it. Now if you're asking about what is the price in the 2-wheeler versus 4-wheeler versus a commercial truck, the prices are a function of 2 things. One is a function of what the market can bear. If you have a 2 lakhs, 3 lakhs, 4 lakhs worth of a 2-wheeler, certainly, the price would be different.

The second factor we consider also is what all it includes in the solution that we offer. What we include maybe in a 4-wheeler, it is not the same thing as in 2-wheeler. Accordingly, for every case to case, the prices are different. I mean I'm talking about even internally, we have to examine each customer carefully of what their expectations are or what the price they can bear, we accordingly provide them the solution.

C
Chandramouli Muthiah
analyst

Got it. And just the 3 million new vehicles this fiscal year, which is the automotive business where you've sold licenses. If you could give us some split of that volume between 4-wheeler, 2-wheelers and CVs? And also, if you could give us some split between sort of ICE and EV, if that's possible?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Maybe some other time, if -- I'll collate that, and we can have a discussion of that.

The next question is from the line of Aman from Stallion Asset.

A
Aman Saifee
analyst

I wanted to understand on our mobility and tech solution business. What we believe that there's a lot of competition...

R
Rohan Verma
executive

We are not able to hear you clearly. Sorry, the voice is not clear.

A
Aman Saifee
analyst

Hello. Is it better now, sir?

R
Rohan Verma
executive

Yes.

A
Aman Saifee
analyst

Yes. So sir, I wanted to understand on our Automotive & Mobility Tech solutions business side. We see that there is a lot of competition has came up on this segment. Ola Maps have came up with their product and Genesys have completed their development on the product side, in the automotive side. So sir, what gives us confidence to stay ahead of the curve in terms of product development and in terms of right to win?

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

You are talking about automotive, right?

A
Aman Saifee
analyst

Yes.

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

I think what you are saying you might be listening to those noises. Entry into the automotive sector is not that simple, number one. Number two, the entry what we are also hearing the noise is HD map, SD map. And as I said clearly, just an HD map is not an answer for any automotive company needs. So the noise will be there. We are watching that, and we are pretty comfortable that it's not going to impact us.

A
Aman Saifee
analyst

Understood, sir. Just wanted to understand that only that because of new players are coming into this segment, so the per vehicle charge on the subscription basis, which you do might not start a price war among these kind of players.

R
Rakesh Verma
executive

Okay, you are right. The price war happens when in a B2B business, the supply chain people try to create a war so that they can get a lower price. Now that's a challenge always there in a B2B business. So we stick by what we think is right.

Operator

As there are no further questions, I would now like to hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.

R
Rakesh Verma

Well, we are really thankful to all the shareholders, the fund managers, the analysts for encouraging MapmyIndia to reach to this level, and we hope your support and trust in us continues. And just like to inform all of you that on 30th of May in Jio Convention Center from 2:00, we are 2:00 p.m., we are going to conduct an Investor Analyst Meet, and we encourage all of you to attend where you'll get the 3 things.

One, what we have achieved since IPO and what we talked about, where we want to reach INR 1,000 crores. So that's one where we -- what we have reached -- or what we have achieved. The second part is the remaining half of the revenue, which is another INR 500 crores, how we plan to get that in the next 3 years. And finally, the third part would be our big vision of going beyond all these and talking about how MapmyIndia is shaping up for the next 5, 10 years. That's the purpose of that Investor Analyst Meet. Thank you so much.
