Varroc Engineering Ltd (Varroc), a global tier-I automotive components group, announced its results for the first quarter ended 30 June 2025. Tarang Jain, CMD, Varroc Engineering Ltd, stated that India’s economy remains resilient, with real GDP growth at 7.4 per cent in Q4 FY25 compared to 6.4 per cent in Q3, and full-year FY25 GDP at 6.5 per cent. Inflation eased, with CPI at a 75-month low of 2.8 per cent in May 2025, prompting a 50 basis points repo rate cut to 5.5 per cent in June 2025. However, rising global tariffs, strategic competition, and geopolitical tensions are increasing business uncertainty, driving companies to strengthen supply chain resilience and regionalisation strategies.
In Q1 FY26, Indian automotive production saw YoY growth in all segments: 2W by 0.7 per cent, PV by 3.4 per cent, CV by 2.6 per cent, and 3W by 9.8 per cent. Domestic 2W sales fell 6 per cent YoY. QoQ, 2W grew 0.9 per cent, 3W fell 1.5 per cent, PV declined 11.9 per cent, and CV dropped 13.7 per cent due to seasonal factors.
Varroc recorded consolidated revenue of Rs 20.3 billion, up 6.8 per cent YoY, with India operations rising 7.2 per cent. EBITDA margin improved to 9.5 per cent from 9.1 per cent a year ago. PBT before exceptional items and JV profit was Rs 822 million (4.1 per cent of revenue), versus 2.8 per cent in Q1 FY25. Employee costs rose due to overseas R&D investments supporting 4W lighting and electronics.
The company reduced net debt by Rs 3,002 million in Q1 FY26, bringing the net debt-to-equity ratio below 0.3x, with absolute net debt at Rs 4,478 million. New business wins during the quarter have annualised peak revenues of Rs 2,905 million, with a focus on timely execution under QCDD standards.
Near-term EV growth in India faces rare-earth magnet supply constraints, but Varroc is leveraging supplier relationships, its global footprint, and R&D to develop alternatives. The company remains focused on revenue growth, gross margin improvement, fixed cost control, and optimisation of capex and working capital to sustain free cash flow generation and strengthen its balance sheet.
Varroc Engineering Ltd, founded in 1988, manufactures and supplies e-mobility, body systems, lighting, HMI, ICE powertrain, and advanced electronics to leading OEMs globally. FY25 revenue from continuing operations was Rs 81,718 million. With over 6,100 employees, including 750+ R&D engineers, Varroc operates 37 manufacturing facilities worldwide, supported by 7 R&D centres, and holds over 120 patents.
