EBITDA: Rs 593 million against Rs 475 million during Q2FY25, change 25%. EBITDA Margin: 10.0% for Q2FY26. PAT: Rs 317 million against Rs 220 million during Q2FY25, change 44%. PAT Margin: 5.3% for Q2FY26. Balaji Gopalan, Managing Director, Carraro India, said: Strong Increase in Revenues up by 18%, EBITDA up by 13% & PAT up by 22%. “The first half of FY26 has been both steady and encouraging for Carraro India. Revenue from operations grew 18% year-on-year, supported by healthy volume growth across both domestic and export markets. Our domestic business grew by 11% YoY, driven by strong demand for 4WD axles in the agriculture segment and a stable performance in the construction equipment segment. Exports delivered an even stronger growth of 31% YoY, led primarily by Tele Boom Handler (“TBH”) axels. While indirect exports of agricultural drivelines remained soft, resilient domestic demand helped maintain our overall volume trajectory. We continued to deliver strong volumes, reinforcing our confidence in the sustainability of our performance. However, realisations and margins got temporarily impacted due to the change in the product mix. A noteworthy development during H1 was our engineering services agreement with Montra Electric for the industrialization and supply of e-transmissions for electric-powered agricultural tractors. This partnership marks an important step forward in our technology roadmap and aligns well with our vision of contributing meaningfully to the next generation of clean and efficient powertrains. Revenue from our engineering services business stood at Rs 50 million in Q2, compared to Rs 17 million in the same period last year. Innovation remained at the heart of our efforts. We developed six prototypes during the half year, three of which have already moved into production. We also dispatched two units of the new T100 EVO prototype to a large Indian tractor OEM and successfully completed the pilot batch of CVT transmission units which is a key step towards commercialisation of this product. On the manufacturing front, we progressed on our capacity-expansion roadmap. We installed two Sealed Quenched Furnace units at the gear plant. The 800-pallet MAZAK machining centre commissioned in June has boosted throughput and flexibility. Additionally, the arrival of the TLB test bench in July and the installation of a robotic washing machine in September further enhance our readiness to meet future demand. Further strengthening our after-sales network, we partnered with authorized service centers, one in North India and two in South India – a step towards boosting our presence in aftermarket/ spare parts segment. Overall, export is growing supported by increased offtake from the TBH business. Domestically, we remain optimistic about sustained demand, driven by ongoing infrastructure projects, higher investment activity, and the supportive market sentiments owing to government policies.” Result PDF
