Kirloskar Oil Engines Posts Record Q2 Results

Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited (KOEL), a leading manufacturer of internal-combustion engines, generator sets and agricultural equipment with a strong global presence, has reported its best-ever quarterly performance for the second quarter and first half of FY 2025–26. The company announced its unaudited financial results for the period ending 31 March 2026.

Managing Director Gauri Kirloskar said KOEL had achieved a major milestone by surpassing Rs 15 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time and delivering its highest-ever first-half sales of Rs 30.27 billion. She noted that all standalone business segments recorded double-digit growth, driven by strong market demand, operational efficiency and innovation in engine and generator technology.

She also highlighted the company’s recently announced strategic restructuring of its B2C operations, transferred to wholly owned subsidiary La-Gajjar Machineries Private Limited via slump sale. The move aligns with KOEL’s long-term ambition to reach a USD 2 billion top line by 2030.
