B.N. Kalyani, chairman & managing director of Bharat Forge, said, “the quarterly performance was impacted by the sharp decline in the North American truck production and the resulting inventory destocking. Standalone Revenues declined by 7.5% sequentially to Rs 1,947 crores, impacted by 16% drop in revenues to North America. CV exports to North America declined by 48% sequentially and 63% on a YoY basis. Because of the constant endeavor towards de-risking the business, the impact was minimized with EBITDA coming in at Rs 545 Crores (EBITDA margins of 28%) and PBT of Rs 432 crores. Consolidated revenue & EBITDA in Q2 came in at Rs 4,032 Crore and Rs 715 crores respectively.
The balance sheet remains robust with Cash of Rs 2,309 crores and ROCE (net) of 15.5%. Indian manufacturing, a key focus area and growth driver for the company registered revenues of Rs 2,746 Crores and EBITDA of RS 676 crores. The company secured new orders worth Rs 1,582 Crores including Rs 559 crores in Defence in H1 FY26. As of H1FY26, the defence order book stood at Rs 9,467 crores. We have transferred all the Defence dedicated assets of Bharat Forge to our wholly owned subsidiary KSSL.
On the business front we expect to conclude more order wins for platforms/ projects we have participated in. The US & European operations saw weakness driven by seasonality and prevailing sentiments. Review of the European steel manufacturing footprint is on track, and we expect to have concrete measures in place by the end of this fiscal. Given the challenging demand conditions in North America, we are witnessing exports into that region declining further in H2 FY26.
However, we expect the industrial business across India, exports to non-US geographies and ramp up in defence business to more than offset the weakness in US exports. Our India manufacturing operations focusing on capturing opportunities in Defence, Aerospace, Castings and Aggregates across markets continue to make steady progress in their journey.”
