Management is guiding for ROCE of 12\u201315% in FY27 and ~20% in FY28, implying a significant improvement in capital productivity over the next two years. The company has invested ~\u20b93,131 crore in forging, casting and machining, along with \u20b9300 crore towards acquisitions\/strategic facilities and \u20b9245 crore towards the rail wheel platform. With a large part of this capacity now commissioned, the focus is shifting from asset creation to utilisation, allowing incremental revenue to translate into higher operating leverage and asset turns. Q1FY27 utilisation stood at 79% in casting, 64% in forgings and 60% in press, leaving meaningful headroom for volume growth without similar levels of incremental capex. Management\u2019s expectation of 75\u201380% utilisation in cold forging vs ~40% currently and 85\u201390% in casting, alongside targeted debt reduction of \u20b9400\u2013500 crore in FY27, could further strengthen the return profile. The key monitorable remains whether faster asset sweating and deleveraging can translate into the guided ~20% ROCE by FY28.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Multiple growth engines beyond core forging:<\/strong> RKFL is building a broader growth platform across casting, railways, aerospace, defence and semiconductors, which could reduce its dependence on the traditional automotive cycle and improve the quality of future growth. Casting is already gaining traction, with Q1FY27 production increasing 85% YoY, while management expects utilisation to reach 85\u201390% at 15\u201316% margins; the additional casting capacity alone could contribute \u20b9400\u2013500 crore of incremental revenue. The new rail wheel platform is expected to commence operations in H1FY27, with the company targeting supply of around 40,000 wheels to the Railways, while opportunities to assemble bogies for LHB coaches and Vande Bharat could provide further upside. In parallel, RKFL is exploring titanium and stainless-steel products and developing non-ferrous forgings for aerospace and semiconductor applications, potentially opening higher-value opportunities over the medium term. Export revenue is also expected to reach a record level, contributing around 35% of total revenue, supported by new product wins across domestic and overseas markets. Successful ramp-up of these businesses could improve both revenue diversification and product mix, with execution and customer qualification in newer segments remaining the key monitorables.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Q1FY27<\/strong> &#8211; On a consolidated basis, Ramkrishna reported revenue from operations of \u20b91,217 crore in Q1FY27, up 19.8% YoY from \u20b91,015 crore in Q1FY26 and broadly flat sequentially versus \u20b91,217 crore in Q4FY26. EBITDA grew about 47% YoY to \u20b9219 crore, with EBITDA margin expanding roughly 330 bps to 17.96% (from 14.64% in Q1FY26), aided by improved operating leverage, a better business mix and the ramp-up of casting operations. Net profit rose about 298% YoY to \u20b947 crore from \u20b912 crore. The quarter was supported by firm domestic demand, healthy export volume growth and an ~85% YoY jump in castings volume to 8,593 tonnes, even as forging volume rose 4% YoY to 47,012 tonnes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>FY26<\/strong> &#8211; During FY26, consolidated revenue from operations grew 5.1% YoY to \u20b94,238 crore (from \u20b94,034 crore in FY25), with EBITDA up 14.9% to \u20b9643 crore and EBITDA margin improving to 15.17% (from 13.87%). Reported net profit was \u20b972 crore, versus \u20b9415 crore in FY25; the FY25 figure, however, was inflated by a large one-off tax credit and a gain from discontinued operations, making the two years not directly comparable. FY26 profitability was additionally weighed down by an \u20b911 crore exceptional charge, an \u20b918 crore share of loss from the rail-wheel joint venture, and a step-up in depreciation (\u20b9333 crore) and finance costs (\u20b9210 crore) following the recent capacity expansion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Financial Performance<\/strong> &#8211; The 3-year revenue and net profit CAGR stand at around 10% and -31% respectively between FY23-26, the sharply negative profit CAGR reflecting a high FY25 base (lifted by a one-off tax credit and a discontinued-operations gain) against a FY26 that absorbed exceptional charges and a step-up in depreciation and interest from the recent capacity build-out. The company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.74x, serviced by a low interest-coverage ratio of about 1.65x, both a function of the debt raised to fund its expansion. The 3-year average ROE and ROCE are around 10% each for the FY24-26 period, depressed by weak FY25 and FY26 returns as new capacity temporarily outpaced earnings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"757\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-3.png 757w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-3-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"755\" height=\"219\" src=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-4.png 755w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-4-300x87.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Industry<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s auto-component industry is among the fastest-growing pillars of the country\u2019s manufacturing economy, supported by rising domestic vehicle demand, a sustained \u201cMake in India\u201d push and India\u2019s emergence as a global sourcing hub. The industry recorded a turnover of Rs. 6,73,557 crore (US$ 80.20 billion) in FY25, having compounded at about 8.3% over the past decade, with domestic OEM supplies contributing around 66% of turnover, the aftermarket about 11% and exports roughly 22%. Auto-component exports rose about 8% to US$ 22.9 billion in FY25, widening the sector\u2019s trade surplus to US$ 453 million, with North America (32%), Europe (29.5%) and Asia (26%) the largest destinations. Over 25% of India\u2019s production is exported annually, and the industry is projected to reach US$ 200 billion by 2030, with component exports estimated to touch US$ 70\u2013100 billion by FY30 on the back of rising electric-vehicle adoption and global supply-chain diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Growth Drivers<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Robust domestic demand and the EV transition: A resilient domestic automotive sector, coupled with the government\u2019s target of 30% EV penetration by 2030, is driving demand for advanced and value-added components, including batteries, power electronics and electric drivetrains. India\u2019s auto-component industry is poised to reach US$ 200 billion by 2030, supported by cost competitiveness, a skilled workforce and growing domestic demand.<\/li><li>Exports and global sourcing hub: India exports over 25% of its auto-component production annually, with exports reaching US$ 22.9 billion in FY25 and projected to touch US$ 70\u2013100 billion by FY30 (McKinsey). Duty-free access to the UK under the India-UK CETA and the broader shift of global sourcing away from single geographies further widen the addressable export base for Indian suppliers.<\/li><li>Policy support: Key measures include the US$ 5 billion Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for automotive and components manufacturing, 100% FDI under the automatic route for the auto-components sector, GST rate cuts on vehicles, and the industry-led Automotive Mission Plan 2047 &#8211; all reinforcing localisation and capacity build-out.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Peer Analysis<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Competitors<\/strong>: Bharat Forge Ltd, Happy Forgings Ltd, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As India\u2019s second-largest forging player, RKFL offers the broadest end-market and geographic diversification in the listed forging space, spanning automotive, railways, mining, oil &amp; gas and industrials.
