Quarter read
What the record says.
Elecon Engineering reported a mixed Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹552 crore (+4.3% YoY), driven by strong MHE division growth of 16% YoY, while the gear division remained flat (+1.3% YoY) due to customer-driven dispatch deferrals. EBITDA fell to ₹109 crore (margin 19.8%, down 760 bps YoY) impacted by lower gear volumes, higher employee costs, and product mix. PAT stood at ₹72 crore (13% margin). Order intake was robust at ₹701 crore (+7% YoY), with combined order book of ₹1,372 crore providing visibility. Management revised FY26 guidance: revenue may be ~5% lower and EBITDA margins ~2% lower than earlier expectations. Key risks include sustained execution delays in gear division and geopolitical headwinds affecting export growth. The MHE division's strong pipeline and power sector capex cycle offer offsetting optimism.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
