2-Min Summary
Sona BLW delivered a record Q4 with revenue of ₹1,272 crore (+47% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹311 crore (+32% YoY), driven by strong electrification momentum and market share gains. BEV revenue share hit a record 39%, and the company won four new driveline orders, including three from European OEMs—the first EV order wins from Europe in four years. The order book stands at ₹237 billion, with EVs accounting for 70%. Management highlighted commodity inflation and wage cost headwinds but expects to maintain EBITDA margins in the 23-25% band. The railway business is expanding with new products (HVAC, electric panels). Key risk: sustained commodity inflation could pressure margins if pass-through lags persist.

Q4 was the best ever quarter across the board. The quarter saw us hitting our highest ever revenue, highest ever packed BE revenue as well as BEV revenue share in the history of the company.
Our anti-fragility thesis has started playing out. We've always believed that we've built a business that tends to emerge stronger from periods of disorder and Q4 is evidence of that thesis.
I don't think it is a material change in the opportunity set that Europe presents for us. I think it'll still be a fairly good place to win a lot of business over the next 12 months or so.
