Managing Director Dr. Balaji Gopalan stated that FY26 was a strong year, with growth in both domestic and export markets. He highlighted that domestic revenue was supported by sustained demand, especially in agricultural vehicles, while export growth was led by the construction equipment segment.

Business Developments and Investments

The company noted that the domestic agriculture business benefited from a faster shift to 4WD tractors. This shift was driven by a narrowing price gap between 2WD and 4WD tractors after GST changes, leading to faster growth in the 4WD axle market compared to the overall tractor market. Carraro India is ramping up capacity to meet expected demand increases in the coming years.

During the year, Carraro India expanded its engineering services business. It signed an engineering services agreement worth Rs 17.5 crore with Montra Electric for the industrialization and supply of e-transmissions. A prototype order was also received for field validation.

On the manufacturing side, the company invested Rs 41.7 crore in FY26 for new telescopic handler axle production, high-performance transmission programs for agricultural applications, and capacity expansion. The board recommended a final dividend of Rs 6.75 per share for FY26, pending shareholder approval.
