Kennametal India reported its first quarter (Q1 FY26) results for the period ended September 30, 2025. Revenue from operations rose about 9.5% year-on-year to Rs 296 crore, compared with Rs 270 crore in the same quarter last year. Net profit after tax grew roughly 25.6% to Rs 31.4 crore versus Rs 25 crore a year ago, lifting earnings per share to Rs 14.30 (from Rs 11.39). The Hard Metal segment continues to dominate, contributing around Rs 264 crore of revenue and Rs 49.8 crore in segment profit. Separately, the Board approved an initial capex of about Rs 68 crore for pre-project activities of a greenfield facility for its MSG business in India. The statutory auditor, Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants LLP, issued a clean limited review report with no qualifications or adverse remarks.
Profit growth significantly outpaced revenue growth, signaling operating leverage and margin expansion, which is positive for shareholders. The greenfield project capex signals long-term capacity building but may pressure near-term returns.
