Commenting on the results, Viraj Kalyani, Managing Director and CEO, Kalyani Forge Limited, said: “Q1 FY27 marks our strongest opening quarter in recent years. We more than tripled our profit after tax year-on-year and crossed the 20% ROCE threshold for the first time — proof that the operational and financial discipline we’ve built over the past several quarters is compounding. Our new inventory policy, tighter cost controls, and continued focus on our top strategic accounts are translating directly into margin and capital efficiency gains.
We are equally focused on the road ahead. New order wins in our wheel hub business — representing an incremental ₹20 crore of annual revenue potential with marquee global customers — are progressing alongside a disciplined, low-capex approach to capacity expansion. We are also strengthening our balance sheet foundations through a comprehensive clean audit roadmap and enhanced receivables governance, including weekly ageing reviews and dedicated recovery mechanisms for legacy accounts.
Our priorities for Q2 are clear: improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness in our Forge Shop, accelerate collections, and convert our strengthening order pipeline into revenue.”
