Endurance Technologies reported a strong Q2 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹3,603.8 crore (+22.6% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹497.8 crore (+21.9% YoY), though margins contracted slightly to 13.8% due to raw material cost pressures and strategic investments. Standalone revenue grew 16.2% YoY to ₹2,692.2 crore, but EBITDA margin fell 116bps to 12.5% on aluminum cost pass-through, R&D spending, and consulting projects. The company won ₹999 crore in new orders in H1, including a ₹300 crore battery pack deal, and expects ₹3,500 crore of past orders to peak by FY28. ABS capacity expansion to 2.4 million units is underway, with first line operational by Q1 FY27. The new Aurangabad alloy wheel plant has started supplies, targeting ₹600 crore annualized sales by Q2 FY27. Europe business grew 32.5% in euro terms, driven by Stepha consolidation. Key risk: margin recovery may be delayed if aluminum prices remain elevated or if ABS regulation timelines slip.
एंड्योरेंस टेक्नोलॉजीज ने Q2 FY26 में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई ₹3,603.8 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 22.6% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा (EBITDA) ₹497.8 करोड़ (+21.9%) रहा, लेकिन मार्जिन थोड़ा घटकर 13.8% हो गया, क्योंकि कच्चे माल की लागत बढ़ी और निवेश बढ़ाया गया। स्टैंडअलोन कमाई ₹2,692.2 करोड़ (+16.2%) रही, लेकिन मार्जिन 12.5% पर आ गया, जो एल्युमीनियम की लागत, R&D और सलाहकार परियोजनाओं के कारण हुआ। कंपनी ने H1 में ₹999 करोड़ के नए ऑर्डर जीते, जिसमें ₹300 करोड़ का बैटरी पैक डील शामिल है। पुराने ऑर्डर ₹3,500 करोड़ FY28 तक पीक पर पहुंचेंगे। ABS क्षमता 2.4 मिलियन यूनिट तक बढ़ रही है, पहली लाइन Q1 FY27 में चालू होगी। औरंगाबाद में नया अलॉय व्हील प्लांट शुरू हो गया, Q2 FY27 तक ₹600 करोड़ सालाना बिक्री का लक्ष्य। यूरोप में कारोबार 32.5% बढ़ा। जोखिम: अगर एल्युमीनियम के दाम ऊंचे रहे या ABS नियमों में देरी हुई तो मार्जिन सुधार में देर हो सकती है।
