Domestic sales grew 6%, led by passenger vehicles (4% of sales) and industrials (14% share). Commercial vehicles declined mid-single digits; farm equipment rose mid-single digits. A INR650 Cr forging facility targeting heavyweight components is set for FY27, expected to boost margins and exports. Net debt is near zero with cash at INR356 Cr. Management targets 15%-18% medium-term growth, driven by new products, market expansion, and better realizations (INR275–280/kg). Capex of INR300–400 Cr planned for FY26 to support expansion. US tariffs have minimal current impact. Management remains confident in sustaining profitable growth despite sector challenges.
