Talbros Posts Strongest Quarterly Performance And Appoints New CEO

25 May 2026 CW Team

On an annual basis, consolidated total revenue for FY26 was Rs 8,885 mn, reflecting growth of five per cent, while annual EBITDA reached Rs 1,551 mn, also up five per cent, with an EBITDA margin of about 17.6 per cent. The Forgings division rebounded with 11 per cent year on year growth driven by execution of recently secured orders and robust export demand. Joint venture partners contributed meaningfully with Marelli Talbros Chassis Systems growing 35 per cent and Talbros Marugo Rubber delivering 24 per cent growth in the quarter. Exports accounted for 24 per cent of income from operations in Q4 and 25 per cent for FY26.

The board announced the appointment of Ashish Gupta as chief executive officer (CEO), noting that he brings over 35 years of leadership experience and had previously led Marelli Talbros Chassis Systems. His career includes senior roles in India and overseas markets, which the company said will support efforts to professionalise the leadership team and enhance organisational capabilities. The appointment is intended to strengthen focus on scaling manufacturing operations and driving growth.

Looking ahead, the company signalled caution on evolving global geopolitical tensions and tariff uncertainties that could exert pressure on logistical costs and supply chain timelines in the near term. It said the strength of the export order book, operational leverage in the manufacturing base and ongoing cost optimisation provide a cushion to absorb headwinds without compromising margin targets. Management outlined priorities of adding new global original equipment manufacturer clients, deepening wallet share with existing domestic customers and sustaining momentum across its diversified businesses.
