The company in which ace investor Ashish Kacholia has a 1.82% stake, reported a revenue growth of 60% YoY at Rs 223 crore in Q2FY25 compared to Rs 139 crore in Q2FY24 because of the constant focus on client addition and continued demand for the specialized engineering products.
The company's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 116.5% and margins expanded by 763 bps from 21.6% in Q2FY24 to 29.3% in Q2FY25 owing to increase in scale of operations and increased demand for heavier products which tend to yield better margins.
Profit after tax (PAT) margins improved by 489 bps from 16.7% in Q2FY24 to 21.6% in Q2FY25.
“The Indian precision engineering industry is on the verge of its next significant growth phase, driven by a rapid transformation as companies globally embrace the China+1 strategy to mitigate supply chain risks," Balu Forge's executive director Trimaan Chandock said, commenting on the earnings.
