2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

HAL reported FY25 revenue of ₹30,105 crore, up 7.25% YoY (adjusted for one-time prior year items), with operating EBITDA margin maintained at ~31%. Growth was constrained by GE engine supply issues for LCA Mk1A and ALH fleet grounding post-accident, both now resolved. Order book surged to ₹1,89,300 crore (6x revenue) after securing major contracts including 156 LCH Prachand (₹62,777 crore) and 240 AL-31FP engines (₹25,500 crore). Management guided 8-10% revenue growth for FY26 with stable margins, and expects double-digit growth from FY27 onward as LCA Mk1A deliveries ramp to 12 units this year and 24+ annually by FY27. Key risks: execution delays in LCA Mk1A ramp-up and LUH certification issues.
