The company indicated that Powergen achieved market-share gains across low, medium and high horsepower segments and that the industrial business built momentum in marine, railways and construction through expanded applications and deeper OEM engagement. Management said Kirloskar Care began to gain traction through improved service penetration and entry into whole goods, and that restructuring of the Fluid Dynamics business aimed to drive efficiency while broadening the product portfolio.

The board proposed a total dividend of 350 per cent for fiscal 2026, comprising a final dividend of 225 per cent equivalent to Rs 4.50 per share subject to shareholder approval, plus an interim dividend of 125 per cent equivalent to Rs 2.50 per share.

Management reiterated its commitment to disciplined, profitable growth and to its transformation objectives.
