14 May 2025 CW Team

Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd (BSE: 500245), a leading Indian manufacturer of castings, pig iron, steel and seamless tubes, announced its audited results for the quarter and financial year ending 31 March 2025.

Managing Director R.V. Gumaste commented, “Despite rising input commodity costs and lower product realisations, we achieved a 7 per cent year-on-year growth in revenue, driven by higher volumes. Strong operational efficiencies and cost discipline helped protect margins amidst a challenging environment.”

He noted that with the company’s iron ore mines now operational, it is better positioned to manage input-related risks in future quarters. A major highlight was the commissioning of a solar power plant at Jalna, reinforcing the company’s commitment to clean energy and contributing to cost savings in the final quarter.

Gumaste added that all major projects remain on track and are expected to deliver further value in the years ahead.
