27 May 2026 CW Team

Manufacturing revenue grew 21 per cent in the quarter to Rs 21,763 mn and 17 per cent for the year to Rs 77,346 mn. Manufacturing EBITDA was Rs 2,800 mn in the quarter and Rs 10,577 mn for the year, with manufacturing margins at 13.0 per cent and 13.7 per cent respectively. 73.8 per cent of manufacturing revenue was powertrain-neutral.

The group recorded a one-time operational loss of Rs 94.7 mn in a subsidiary due to start-up and integration costs linked to the France acquisition and indicated the loss is expected to be non-recurring, with SDM likely to be profitable in FY27. Consolidated EBITDA was Rs 11,537.7 mn and profit before tax expanded materially.

In aerospace BIL completed the acquisition of Chester Hall Precision Engineering in the UK for £13.2 million, citing specialised machining of titanium and ultra-precision tolerances. Chester Hall reported revenues above £18.5 million in 2025 and supplies engine and satellite components to OEMs. Management is advancing plans to move portions of subcontracted work to India while maintaining precision standards.

The company secured programmes with a fast-growing two/three-wheeler original equipment manufacturer for exhaust systems and fuel tanks, with production planned from a brownfield Bangalore expansion in Q2 FY27, and won an order from a Japanese OEM expected to generate peak annual revenues of about Rs 2.2 bn from Q4 FY27. The board approved consolidation measures to simplify structure and improve efficiency and management emphasised focus on integration, export-led growth and disciplined investment to support sustainable long-term value creation.
