The Aerospace segment reported a growth of 19.2% y-o-y inFY2025 driven by execution of commercial order book. Thissegment is positioned for continued momentum, supportedby steady progress on key programs and new projectsindustrialization as per the schedule. Recent budgetarysupport for domestic defence procurement further positionsus to capitalize on emerging opportunities in aerospace anddefence modernization across the globe. However, supplychain constraints may persist to continue due to globalgeopolitical uncertainties.
The Hydraulics segment witnessed a year-over-year growthof 2.2%. However, performance in H2 was impacted byreduced construction activity and softer demand across keygeographies, along with a less favorable sales mix. Marginswere adversely affected due to negative margins in UKoperations, primarily driven by partial charge-offs related to
redundancies as part of the ongoing rationalization of productlines between the Swindon and Bangalore facilities. Whilethe segment faced challenges due to muted constructiondemand, strong agricultural demand supported by a favorablemonsoon and the government's continued infrastructurepush are expected to drive revenue growth in India. Marginimprovement is also anticipated in the coming quarters, uponcompletion of the product line rationalization between Indiaand the UK.
The Metallurgy segment has shown an y-o-y decline of 28.9%in FY2025 as the German economy remained in recessionmainly due to a negative contribution from net trade anda slowdown in household consumption leading to lowerdemand. Factors contributing to the downturn included highenergy costs, global competition coupled with geopoliticaluncertainties, and declining industrial output.
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE: The Aerospace & Defencesegment recorded a revenue of Rs. 60,785 lakhs comparedto Rs. 51,009 lakhs in FY2024. Segment EBITDA for the yearwas Rs. 15,783 lakhs, reported alongside Rs. 13,094 lakhs inFY2024.
In FY2025, our aerospace segment was undeniably theengine of our success, driving both top-line growth and strongprofitability. This division not only held its dominant positionbut also deepened its strategic value to our operations,consistently delivering excellent margins. A defining momentwas the inauguration of the Rear Fuselage Assembly Line forthe D328eco® turboprop in Bangalore, a crucial step in ourpartnership with Deutsche Aircraft. This milestone signalsour successful shift from concept to serial manufacturing,showcasing our advanced aerospace capabilities andreinforcing our strong commitment to the "Make in India"initiative. This ongoing collaboration has significantlyenhanced our supply chain resilience, putting us in an excellentposition to capture the burgeoning opportunities in regionalaviation, directly supporting India's broader connectivity andsustainability ambitions. Even in the face of ongoing globalsupply chain disruptions and commodity price pressures,our aerospace business sustained its strong performance byrigorously industrializing secured programs, thereby ensuringthe scalability and efficiency needed to fulfill demandingcustomer schedules.
The A220 doors program is rapidly progressing. We'vepositioned all sub-assembly and main-assembly jigs andfixtures on the shop floor, and pre-production activities areofficially underway with our fully trained team. Parts are nowarriving to support assembly, a key step in our ramp-up. Wealso swiftly added 30,000 sq. ft. of floor space in just threemonths. The program remains on track with clear visibility andstrong momentum. First-Article Inspection is anticipated tobegin this September.
A strong order book and continued revenues from large GlobalOEMs like Airbus A330, Airbus A220, Dassault new work FAIand Deutsche Aircraft alongside focus on increasing businesson detailed parts at Dynamatic Manufacturing Limited (DML)is expected to ramp up the revenues in the coming years.
HYDRAULICS: The Hydraulics segment recorded a revenueof Rs. 45,804 lakhs compared to Rs. 44,834 lakhs in FY2024.Segment EBITDA for the year was Rs. 2,415 lakhs, reportedalongside Rs. 3,771 lakhs in FY2024.
The Hydraulics segment maintains its position as a worldleader in gear pump manufacturing, with operations splitbetween Bangalore, India, and Swindon, UK. Facing a rapidand seemingly irreversible decline in European supply chainreliability over recent quarters, we've made a strategicdecision to transfer production from our UK facility to India,with only select strategic lines remaining in the UK. Thischangeover, while currently impacting our operations andincurring significant transition costs, is projected to deliversubstantial savings in H2 FY26 and establish a more robust,long-term business structure.
Government policy continues to play a pivotal role in drivingthe sector forward. Supportive measures, including reducedimport duties, subsidies for agricultural equipment, andsimplified credit disbursement schemes, have enhancedaffordability and accessibility for farmers. The constructionequipment industry remains integral to India's broadereconomic development plans and is expected to play a criticalrole in enabling infrastructure-led growth.
ivitiALLURGY: ihe Metallurgy segment recorded a revenueof Rs. 33,483 lakhs compared to same period last yearRs. 47,081 lakhs. Segment EBITDA was Rs. 1,004 lakhscompared to Rs. 2,467 lakhs in FY2024.
The Metallurgy division encountered ongoing challenges dueto subdued industrial demand, especially in Europe, coupledwith inflationary pressures and elevated energy costs. Thesefactors contributed to a decline in revenues and margins forthe year.
US political shifts are changing the game for Ukraine warfunding and have temporarily delayed offtake of Erla's shellproduction. Meanwhile, with potential reductions in Americanaid, Germany and EU are stepping up, accelerating their owndefence spending to ensure security, encouraging Germancompanies to increase defence production.
Going forward, the segment performance will be majorlydriven by availability of raw material, input commodity pricesand cost of financing to end customers. Focus on high marginproduct mix, rationalization of low margin products alongsidedevelopment of aerospace castings and forgings in the futureis expected to drive the business growth in the coming years.
