2-Minute Summary
Kirloskar Ferrous reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹1,781 crore, with casting production up 13% YoY to 36,596 MT, driven by strong demand from auto and tractor sectors. Pig iron production fell 3% due to a planned blast furnace stoppage at Hirur. Full-year revenue grew 3.5% to ₹6,861 crore, with PBT improving to ₹514 crore from ₹432 crore (excl. exceptional items). Management guided for 15% volume growth in castings in FY27, targeting 1,85,000-1,90,000 MT, supported by the ramp-up of Solapur and Oliver foundries. The seamless tube expansion to 4 lakh MT capacity and backward integration (iron ore mines, green power) are key strategic levers. Risks include commodity price volatility and execution delays in Solapur ramp-up.

medium · data_observationNotable Quotes
Our effort to grow 20-25% are not realistic. I look forward to volumetric growth of say 15% which I consider as reasonably good.
We are comfortable only when we are at 15% EBITDA margin and in all products we continue to look for volume growth.
We have no choice but to immediately take up seventh foundry program to ensure that we service the customers without any failure.
