Management Commentary: Q3 FY26 Performance
==> picture [235 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
BFL 3 Month Report: “The quarterly performance continued to be impacted by the de-stocking in the North American CV market. Standalone Revenues was up 7.0% sequentially to Rs 2,084 crores and EBITDA at Rs 569 Crore was up 4.6% QoQ translating in an EBITDA margin of 27.3%. The performance was aided by the strong growth in the Domestic automotive business and execution of defence orderbook. Export revenues witnessed a 3% sequential decline with auto sector down 13% and industrials showing a 11% increase.
In Q3, the company secured new orders worth Rs 2,388 Crores including Rs 1,878 crores in Defence. As of Dec 31[st] 2025, the defence order book stood at Rs 11,130 crores. We signed the CQB Carbine contract with the Ministry of Defence for supply of more than 250,000 units to the Indian armed forces. This order unlocks significant growth opportunities for our Small Arms vertical within the Defence business.
In the quarter gone by, JS Autocast (JSA) recorded revenue of Rs 203 Crore and EBITDA of Rs 32 Crore (15.7% EBITDA margin) representing a 22% and 39% YoY jump respectively. K-Drive mobility, a supplier of axle assembly across segments witnessed a muted topline but a sharp jump in their profitability with EBITDA margins moving up from 3.1% in Q2 FY26 to 5.1% in this quarter. We expect the margin profile to continue to improve over a 3-year time frame.
The US & European operations reported modest operating profits despite seasonal weakness in the PV market. Review of the European steel manufacturing footprint is on track, and we expect to have concrete measures in place by the end of this fiscal.
Looking ahead into Q4 FY26 and FY27, it is fair to say that the worst is behind us and things are starting to look up. With both domestic and exports markets looking strong across sectors, and the commencement of ATAGS execution in H2 FY27, we expect high double digit top line growth and commensurate impact on profitability.”
B.N. Kalyani, Chairman & Managing Director

Lower production and inventory de-stocking impacted the CV exports into North America sharply. NA truck revenues declined by 51% in Q3 FY26 vis-à-vis Q3 FY25. Early indicators such as net orders and increasing order backlog give comfort that the worst may be over for the trucking sector.
-
Passenger car export performed well in a seasonally weak quarter. As trade disputes subside, we anticipate a recovery in consumer confidence leading to higher personal mobility spend
-
Industrial segment saw mixed performance; HHP engines and Aerospace saw better performance driven by improved execution; while Oil & Gas continued to suffer from weak crude prices.

CV business performance was driven by higher production volumes in Q3 across OEMs as benefits of GST rates cuts percolated in lower TCO to the end-users.
-
Passenger Car segment saw GST related benefits result in higher demand. We expect these tailwinds to support demand in the near term. In the longer term the expanding per capita car ownership will drive meaningful growth in this sector.
-
Domestic Industrial business saw strong performance driven by better execution in Defence and good traction for Heavy Horse-power engines
Other Revenue was Rs 1,021 million in Q3FY26
