CARE Re-affirms MM Forgings Rating at 'CARE A; Stable' Amid Debt-Funded Expansion

🟡 NEUTRAL ⭐ 6/10

ROUTINE 📅 11 Apr 2026, 02:31 PM

CARE Ratings has re-affirmed MM Forgings' long-term rating at 'CARE A; Stable' and short-term rating at 'CARE A1'. The company recently completed a significant ₹850 crore capex cycle, increasing capacity to 130,000 MTPA, which has led to a moderate gearing of 1.33x and a decline in ROCE to 11.62%. While FY25 margins were healthy at 19.41%, 9MFY26 margins moderated to 17.17% due to geopolitical tensions impacting US export volumes. Liquidity remains adequate with cash and investments totaling ₹218 crore as of March 2025.

CARE re-affirmed 'CARE A; Stable' for long-term facilities and 'CARE A1' for short-term facilities.
Manufacturing capacity increased to 130,000 MTPA as of December 2025 from 110,000 MTPA.
Overall gearing rose to 1.33x in FY25 following a ₹850 crore debt-funded capex cycle over three years.
9MFY26 PBILDT margin declined to 17.17% from 19.33% YoY due to lower machining coverage and US volume moderation.
Commercial Vehicle (CV) segment remains the primary revenue driver, accounting for 76% of total sales.

💡 Investors should monitor the company's ability to deleverage as the major capex cycle concludes and watch for a recovery in high-margin US export volumes. The stock's performance will remain closely tied to the cyclicality of the global and domestic commercial vehicle markets.

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

The company targets a total revenue of INR 2,000 Cr for FY2027, driven by a recovery in the Class VIII truck market and new business plays. Historically, the Commercial Vehicle (CV) segment contributes 75% of sales, while Passenger Vehicles (PV) contribute 18%.

Geographic Revenue Split

MMFL maintains a significant presence in both domestic and export markets, though specific percentage splits per region are not disclosed; exports are primarily driven by global customers in the automotive and industrial sectors.

Profitability Margins

EBITDA margins are targeted to be upwards of 20% for FY2027, recovering from a 'bottom' in Q2 FY2026. Historical margins have been range-bound between 18% and 22% depending on capacity utilization and raw material costs.

EBITDA Margin

The company aims for a 20% EBITDA margin (plus/minus 1-2%) as operating leverage kicks in from the INR 1,260 Cr capex program. Current margins were impacted by lower sales volumes and inflationary pressure on power and fuel.

Capital Expenditure

MMFL is executing a large-scale capex program of INR 1,260 Cr over three years (FY2024-FY2026), with INR 925 Cr funded via debt and the remainder through internal accruals. An additional INR 125 Cr is allocated for EV business expansion in subsidiaries.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CARE A; Stable for long-term facilities (INR 942.36 Cr) and CARE A1 for short-term facilities (INR 176 Cr). Interest coverage stood at 8.75x in FY2023, up from 7.39x in FY2022.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Steel (Carbon, Alloy, and Micro-Alloy) represents the primary raw material cost. While the exact percentage of total cost is not specified, volatility in steel prices is cited as a primary constraint on range-bound margins.

Capacity Expansion

Current expansion plans involve increasing forging capacity by 45% and machining capacity by 40% over a three-year period ending FY2027. Heavy Forgings (HF) are defined as those produced on 6,000-ton presses and beyond.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are subject to market volatility; the company manages this through range-bound operating margins and by passing on costs to customers where possible, though high dependence on steel remains a risk.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Capacity utilization is a key driver; a sharp de-growth in sales volume leading to under-utilization is a primary negative rating factor. Fund-based working capital limit utilization was 80% for the 12 months ending February 2024.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

15%

Growth Strategy

Growth will be achieved by reclaiming ceded market share, expanding forging capacity by 45%, and increasing machining capacity by 40%. The company is also pivoting toward the EV sector via a INR 125 Cr subsidiary investment and expects a rebound in the US Class VIII truck market by June 2026.

Products & Services

Steel forgings in raw, semi-machined, and fully machined stages; specific components include those for commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, oil field equipment, and earth-moving machinery.

Brand Portfolio

MM Forgings (MMFL)

New Products/Services

Expansion into Electric Vehicle (EV) components through subsidiaries, supported by a INR 125 Cr dedicated capex.

Market Expansion

Targeting a rebound in the North American Class VIII truck market and increasing penetration in the domestic machining segment.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting toward higher value-added machined components and Electric Vehicles. MMFL is positioning itself by increasing machining capacity by 40% and investing INR 125 Cr in EV-related subsidiary operations.

Competitive Landscape

Competes with other large-scale forging players in India and globally, with competition intensifying in the machined components and EV parts segments.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on 20+ year relationships with major OEMs, established engineering capabilities, and a 6,000-ton heavy press capacity which acts as a barrier to entry for smaller players.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to the cyclicality of the automotive industry, particularly the Commercial Vehicle cycle which dictates 75% of demand.

Consumer Behavior

Shift toward EVs is the primary consumer-led trend affecting long-term demand for traditional powertrain forgings.

Geopolitical Risks

Exposure to global markets makes the company vulnerable to trade barriers and economic shifts in the US and Europe, affecting the export-heavy forging business.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are subject to environmental pollution norms and automotive manufacturing standards; the company maintains a Code of Conduct covering ethics, bribery, and corruption.

Environmental Compliance

The company uses biofuels and recycled water. ESG initiatives include scientific tree plantation and regenerative combustion technology to reduce atmospheric pollution.

Legal Contingencies

No complaints received regarding ethics, bribery, or corruption during the review period; specific court case values are not disclosed.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the timing of the Class VIII truck market rebound (expected June 2026) and the successful integration of the INR 1,260 Cr debt-funded capex.
