Bharat Forge Reports Rs 90 Crore Q1 Net Loss Amid Revenue Growth and Restructuring
Bharat Forge reported a consolidated net loss of approximately Rs 90 crore in Q1 FY27, compared to a profit of around Rs 284 crore in the same period last year. The loss was mainly due to a Rs 330-358 crore restructuring provision related to its German subsidiary facing market challenges. Despite this, revenue rose about 19% year-on-year to Rs 4,640 crore, with defence segment revenue surging 87%. The company’s board approved a fund raise of up to Rs 2,500 crore, subject to shareholder approval, to support investments in new sectors including defence, aerospace, and semiconductors.
