He was addressing shareholders at the company's annual general meeting. Responding to concerns over the impact of China's curbs on rare earth element exports, Chandrasekaran said the company is not currently facing any disruption. 'As of now, this is not a concern, but this is something that we are watching very carefully,' he told shareholders. 'We are able to source the magnets that we need, and also we have plans for having the right level of inventory. We are working with the government.
