Castrol India Limited — Investor Meet, 05-05-2025: Analysts/Institutional Investor Meet/Con. Call Updates

Castrol India has announced a board meeting on 14 June 2025 to consider the financial results for the quarter and half-year.

Castrol India posted 1Q FY25 revenue of INR1,422 Cr, up 7% YoY, with PBT at INR313 Cr (+7%) and PAT at INR233 Cr (+8%). Volume growth of 8% was driven by commercial vehicles, cars, 2-wheelers, and industrial segments. Rural outlets now exceed 40,000. The company is expanding its industrial lubricants, targeting ~30% market share in niche products over 3-5 years. Focus areas include innovation, brand campaigns featuring Shah Rukh Khan, and network growth (~148,000 outlets). Emerging data center coolants hold long-term potential. EV penetration in 2-wheelers may reach ~30% by 2030 but lubricant demand remains stable. EBITDA margin dipped near 22% due to increased advertising and royalties supporting growth. Auto Care products (~INR2,500 Cr market) are growing fast and add to future revenue. Management stresses steady execution and strategic shifts amid evolving mobility trends.
