✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Cummins India delivered a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of INR 2,859 crore, up 26% YoY, driven by broad-based domestic demand and export recovery. Domestic sales grew 25% YoY to INR 2,336 crore, while exports rose 34% YoY to INR 523 crore. Power Gen segment led with 31% YoY growth, supported by quick commerce, mission-critical infrastructure, and data centers. Management remains cautiously optimistic, guiding for double-digit full-year growth, though export visibility is tempered by geopolitical uncertainties. Key risk: rising competitive intensity, especially in higher horsepower nodes, could pressure pricing and margins.
