What the record says.
Varroc Engineering delivered a solid Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue of Rs 2,288 crore, up 10.2% YoY, driven by robust 12.3% growth in India operations despite industry outperformance of 15-19%. India EBITDA expanded to 11.9% with PBT at 7.6%, reflecting successful cost control initiatives including a one-time VRS program affecting ~5% of workforce with Rs 80 crore annual savings. EV revenue mix reached 14.3%, growing 53% YoY, while the company secured Rs 2,063 crore annualized peak revenue from new orders—highest ever—with 74% from EV programs. Overseas operations (electronics/lighting/forging) continue to drag on profitability due to low Romania utilization and customer concentration issues, though management expects improvement from H2 FY27 with new wins. Net debt rose to Rs 441 crore (VRS impact) but zero-debt target remains by FY27-end. Key risks include 46% Bajaj customer concentration and pending 66 million euro arbitration with PO Mobility.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management targets to grow 4-5% ahead of market, maintaining double-digit growth trajectory across India and overseas operations.
- Net debt currently Rs 441 crore; expected to reduce gradually from Q2 FY27 onward after Q1 land purchase (~$150 crore).
- Romania facility currently at very low utilization; full PBT break-even expected the following year with new order ramp-up from H2 FY27.
- Land purchase near Pune (~$150 crore) plus capacity expansion; moderating to Rs 250-300 crore in outer years depending on new program wins.
Risks flagged
- EMS segment remains challenged with long-term strategic questions. Romania at very low utilization; Thailand 4W lighting only ramps from CY27. Combined overseas drag impacts consolidated margins.
- Ongoing dispute involving supply agreement termination and divestment agreement conditions. Timeline uncertain (2-3 years typical); no provisions made as claims are disputed as unreasonable.
- Gross margins declined driven by product mix changes and market share dynamics, not raw material prices (which are largely passed through).
- Management acknowledged evaluating all options for non-auto forging business, indicating potential strategic review or divestment consideration.
Key quotes
- This particular initiative [VRS] is going to strengthen our cost structure further and this will give us the payback within 4 years.
- In 9 months of financial year 26, we achieved net new business wins with an annualized peak revenues of rupees 20,636 million. This is the highest ever.
- Our target is to grow between 15 to 20% uh ahead of the market at least four to 5% ahead of the market so that that direction still remains.
