Wheels India Q2 Profit Nearly Doubles; Raises FY27 Capex to Rs 400-450 Crore
Wheels India reported a near doubling of its net profit in Q2 FY27, reaching between Rs 53.4 crore and Rs 59.4 crore, supported by strong revenue growth of around 35-36%. The company saw robust demand in earthmover wheels, air suspension systems, and domestic markets for cars, trucks, and tractors. Exports, particularly to the US, grew significantly, aided by the US data-centre construction boom. Wheels India raised its capital expenditure plan for FY27 to Rs 400-450 crore, up from an earlier Rs 300 crore estimate, while noting concerns over rising steel and fuel costs.
