Bharat Forge Reports 17% Q4 Profit Decline Amid Revenue and EBITDA Growth

Bharat Forge reported a 17 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to approximately Rs 233 crore for Q4 FY26, impacted by exceptional charges including impairment provisions and costs related to labour code implementation and restructuring of its German subsidiary. Despite this, consolidated revenue rose about 17.5 percent to Rs 4,528 crore, driven by growth in forgings and defence segments. EBITDA increased by over 15 percent to Rs 774 crore. The company recommended a final dividend of Rs 6.50 per share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval.
