Earnings Call Summary
- Soft quarter: Q2 FY26 revenue was flat to slightly lower YoY, while PAT fell ~48% due to weak demand and higher costs.
- Domestic vs exports: domestic sales were largely stable, but exports declined by ~₹28 crore, driven by a slowdown in the US Class-VIII truck market; Europe provided partial support.
- Margins: EBITDA margin moderated to ~19% in H1 FY26 (operational ~17.5%) from ~21% last year, indicating pressure but still healthy levels.
- Capex & outlook: the company continues with a large ₹1,260-crore expansion. Management expects H2 FY26 revenue of ₹750–800 crore, sees demand near the bottom with recovery from June 2026, and expects initial EV subsidiary sales to contribute ₹20–30 crore annually.
