EBITDA margins at 28.5% expanded by 330 bps driven by favorable product mix and focus on cost optimization.

At a consolidated level, Revenues have grown by 15% to Rs 3,867 crore and EBITDA grew by 56% to Rs 673 crore. Exports from Indian manufacturing operations across components, defense & Industrial in Q3FY24 stand at US$ 200 million, a growth of 36% over Q3FY23. Over time, We expect this number to grow as the new verticals scale up and we enhance our presence in the industrial space. For 9MFY24, standalone sales have grown by 19% to Rs 6,640 crore and EBITDA grew by 29% to Rs 1,815 crore. A key driver of this growth is the successful ramp-up of the defense business, in addition to the growth in the core forging business. During the quarter, the company has secured new business worth Rs 550 crore across Automotive, Industrial, Defense, Aerospace, and Castings (Ferrous & Aluminum). In the overseas operations, we have been able to achieve improvement in operational parameters at the Aluminum business in Europe and the same is expected in the US plant soon. We continue to work on creating a sustained path to profitability for the overseas business driven by a combination of achieving profitability in the aluminum business and product/manufacturing optimization in the steel business, all expected to materialize in the next 12 – 18 months. Looking ahead in the Q4 & further into FY25, we expect the growth momentum to moderate in both the Domestic & Export markets across industries. Our endeavor will be to outperform the market driven by our diversified business mix." Result PDF12-02-2024
