30 Jul 2025 CW Team

ASK Automotive Limited, India’s leading manufacturer of brake shoes and advanced braking systems for two-wheelers, has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2025.

The company reported consolidated revenue of Rs 8.95 billion, reflecting a 3.5 per cent year-on-year increase. Excluding the strategically reduced wheel assembly business, revenue growth stood at 11.1 per cent. The reduction in the wheel assembly segment, which declined by 53.5 per cent, is part of ASK’s ongoing focus on value-added products.

In terms of vertical performance, the Advanced Braking Systems segment grew by 4 per cent, Aluminium Lightweight Precision Solutions by 15 per cent, and Safety Control Cables by 6 per cent. Export revenue remained stable at Rs 330 million.

EBITDA rose by 19.3 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1.23 billion — the highest quarterly EBITDA in the company’s history — with margins improving by 183 basis points to 13.8 per cent. This was driven by better scale, improved utilisation of the Karoli and Bangalore facilities, and ongoing cost optimisation measures.

Profit after tax reached Rs 660 million, up 16.3 per cent year-on-year, while earnings per share increased to Rs 3.35 from Rs 2.88 in Q1 FY25.

Chairman and Managing Director Mr Kuldip Singh Rathee stated, “This marks our seventh consecutive strong quarter since listing. We continue to outperform industry growth in two-wheeler production, and our strategic focus on high-margin verticals and operational efficiency is paying off. Our ramp-up at Karoli and Bangalore is progressing well, and we aim to sustain or improve current EBITDA margin levels in the coming quarters.”
