Profitability Margins
Operating margins improved from 5.2% in FY24 to 6.3% in FY25 due to cost-saving initiatives and better operating leverage. However, margins moderated by 1.7% to 4.7% in Q1 FY26 due to lower AC sales volumes.
EBITDA Margin
Engineering Division PBDIT margin rose from 14.8% (INR 117.68 Cr) in FY24 to 15.9% (INR 135.40 Cr) in FY25, a 15% uplift driven by effective cost management and a favorable product mix.
