in FY25 and we were able to cross Rs 100 crore of net profits last year."
"We have also been able to achieve a turnaround in profitability in our passenger car steel wheel subsidiary”, he said.
On revenue growth, Srivats said, “There was marginal growth in topline with growth in the domestic sales led by strong tractor wheel demand and growth in exports led by the windmill components. There is some momentum in demand going forward as well.”
On the outlook for the year, he said, “In FY25, there was a capex of Rs. 250 crore with the largest investment being in a plant for larger wheels for the tractor segment.
In the coming year (FY26), the capex will be similar with the largest investment being in adding capacity for manufacture of windmill components.”

for this business is more than a year but the base is being built.”
