Balu Forge Industries Posts 33 Percent YoY Revenue Growth in Q1 FY26, Margins Expand Sharply

Mumbai, India – Balu Forge Industries Ltd (BFIL), a leading precision engineering and manufacturing company, has announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

Consolidated Financial Highlights for Q1 FY26

Revenue from operations rose 33 percent YoY to INR 2,332 million (Mn), driven by a richer value-added product mix and higher operating leverage as the company scaled capacity and capability.
Gross profit surged 50.1 percent YoY to INR 891 Mn, supported by improved product complexity and expanding precision engineering applications.
EBITDA grew 67.3 percent YoY to INR 723 Mn, reflecting enhanced manufacturing efficiencies and the benefit of integrated high-margin machining.
Profit after tax jumped 66.9 percent YoY to INR 570 Mn, underpinned by margin expansion, stable cost control, and continued gains in global market share despite external uncertainties.

Commenting on the performance, Jaspal Singh Chandock, Executive Director, BFIL, stated, “The global precision engineering landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by increasing automation and the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies. In India, as we are transitioning from legacy manufacturing to real-time monitoring, precision engineering stands at the core of this transformation, forming the foundation for future-ready, innovation-led growth, strengthening the country’s position as a global manufacturing hub.”

He continued, “On that backdrop, we delivered strong financial and operational results in Q1 FY26, reinforcing our commitment to engineering excellence and future preparedness. Revenue from operations for Q1 FY26 stood at INR 2,332 million, marking a strong 33 percent year-on-year growth over INR 1,753 million in Q1 FY25. This performance was driven by an improved value-added product mix and increased operating leverage, resulting in a notable 635 basis point expansion in operating margins. Profit after tax came in at INR 570 million for the quarter, reflecting a robust 67 percent growth over the same period last year.”

On a sequential basis, Chandock shared, “The quarter saw a marginal decline, primarily due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, regional conflicts, and volatile tariff environments. Despite these external headwinds, profitability remained stable, and the company continued to strengthen its market position through focused execution and operational resilience.”

During the quarter, he said, “We focused on boosting our capacity. The initiatives include the addition of a new Empty Shell production line, the 25T Hydraulic Hammer forging line (among the world’s largest closed die hammers), and the integration of state-of-the-art 7-axis and 11-axis machining lines. Our product capabilities are evolving, with unit weights progressing beyond 1 ton and gradually advancing towards 1.5 tons in a phased manner.”

Chandock further stated, “Our forging capacity is on track to increase from 100,000 tons to 150,000 tons annually, while machining capacity will rise from 45,000 tons to 80,000 tons per annum. We’re also progressing steadily on our greenfield facility, in line with planned timelines. Geographically, we continue to pursue a diversified strategy to mitigate long-term risks posed by volatile tariff situations. The majority of our new capacities are expected to be operational within this financial year.”

He concluded, “As we look ahead, apart from boosting our capacity, we are reinforcing our position as a global precision engineering powerhouse from India. With a strong foundation, advanced infrastructure, and a clear strategic vision, we are poised to capture the emerging opportunities and shape the future of precision engineering.”
