We crossed an important milestone of ₹15000 crores of revenue, accompanied by market share gains in replacement and OEMS. We successfully closed the CAMSO deal during the year."

“In Q4, we delivered high growth in all segments, including international business, despite geopolitical tensions. Looking ahead, while there is a momentum on top line, we have short-term challenges on supply chain and costs due to steep increase raw material cost that we intent to mitigate through pricing and strong cost management. We intend to continue expanding our capacities in line with our growth plans," he added.

Chief Financial Officer, Kumar Subbiah said, “In Q4, we improved operating margins by over 51 bps, driven by a sharper focus on operating efficiencies, scale and disciplined cost management. For the year, we delivered our highest-ever profit of ₹697 crore. Our balance sheet continues to be strong, and leverage ratios remain healthy to provide growth capital to the business. While gross debt has increased, we remain committed to maintaining a cautious leverage profile with adequate liquidity."
