Rane Madras reported a strong Q3 with revenue of ₹1,019.1 crore, up 21.3% YoY, driven by broad-based auto demand recovery and festive tailwinds. EBITDA margin improved 106 bps to 9.3%, aided by cost initiatives and operating leverage. New order wins of ₹130 crore in the quarter and ₹650 crore YTD bolster the medium-term growth pipeline. However, a one-off warranty provision of ₹230 crore at associate ZF Rane Automotive (net ₹172 crore) for a seat belt buckle issue in North America weighs on sentiment. Management targets double-digit EBITDA margins for RML by FY27, with debt reduction of ₹150-200 crore over 12-18 months via land sale proceeds. Key risk: further warranty provisions or customer impact from the ZF Rane recall.
