KUALA LUMPUR: Ni Hsin Group Bhd
has proposed to diversify its existing business to include electric vehicles (EVs) as it seeks to expand its electric motorcycle operations.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Ni Hsin said it plans to seek shareholders’ approval for the proposed diversification at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened.
The group has been operating its EV Business through Ni Hsin EV Tech Sdn Bhd (NHEVT) in 2021 and has since undertaken various initiatives to develop its EV product offerings, assembly capabilities and distribution network.
Ni Hsin currently operates an EV assembly facility in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, where it assembles electric motorcycles using semi-knocked down and completely knocked down components supplied by its business partners.
Its existing product portfolio includes the EBIXON TORQ, BOLD and KRUZ models, as well as the TC Max and CPX models.
“The group intends to continue expanding and developing its EV Business through strategic partnerships, product diversification, contract manufacturing and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) assembly activities and market expansion initiatives,” it said.
In April, NHEVT entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with MARS Greentech Sdn Bhd to undertake OEM assembly for selected electric two-wheeler models.
It also entered into an assembly cooperation agreement with China-based Chongqing Qiulong Technology Co Ltd in May, securing the exclusive right to assemble Surron electric motorcycles using completely knocked down components.
Ni Hsin said it also plans to increase its focus on corporate, fleet and institutional customers, including government agencies, government-linked companies, universities, fleet management providers and last-mile logistics companies.
The group is also looking to expand overseas. In August, it entered into a memorandum of understanding with Apex Ventures (Labuan) Ltd to promote, market and distribute its products, including EVs, with an initial focus on Türkiye and the Middle East.
For the financial year ended June 30, 2026, the EV business generated revenue of about RM1.43mil and recorded loss after-tax of about RM1.43mil.
Ni Hsin said the EV business has yet to meet Bursa Malaysia's threshold for diversification, but the board expects it could eventually contribute 25% or more of the group’s net profit or result in the diversion of at least 25% of its net assets.
The group said the proposed diversification would provide an additional revenue stream to complement its existing businesses.
Ni Hsin currently operates across cookware, stainless steel products, food and beverage, logistics services and EVs.
The proposed diversification is not expected to have an immediate impact on the group’s earnings and earnings per share.
It will take effect upon obtaining shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming EGM.
