2-Min Summary
SKP Bearing reported strong sequential revenue growth of 41% in standalone operations for Q3 FY26, driven by capacity expansion in the roller plant and improving export mix (now 5% of revenue vs 2% last year). Consolidated revenue grew 38.9% QoQ, though France subsidiary continues to drag with a loss of ₹5.81 crore due to one-time employee separation costs and low utilization. Management reiterated its ₹100 crore consolidated revenue target for FY26 and expects France to turn green in FY27. The ball plant remains underutilized at ~23% as QCO implementation delays and slow customer validation persist. Key risk: France turnaround may take longer than guided if customer revalidation cycles extend further.
Key Numbers

We are the only company in India also probably very few companies globally which are end to end.
Our target first is to reach to the post acquisition hour level. After that we have a target next target of reach to the 2010 levels when it was something like 156 million euros.
We are focusing right now because we don't want to have anything you know you eat something which you cannot chew. We believe in let it go slow but it should be steady and it should be very long term.
