Force Motors has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, with the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India. The disclosure was made on August 25, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations.

The report includes an independent assurance statement from TÜV SÜD South Asia Pvt. Ltd., which provided reasonable assurance on nine core attributes of the BRSR framework. These attributes cover greenhouse gas emissions, water footprint, energy consumption, waste management, employee well-being, gender diversity, inclusive development, customer fairness, and business openness.

Key Disclosures

The company reported a turnover of ₹9,05,654 lakhs and a net worth of ₹4,26,413 lakhs for FY26. CSR provisions under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, were applicable for the period.

Workforce and Governance

As of March 31, 2026, Force Motors employed 6,610 employees and engaged 2,088 workers. Female representation stood at 11.72% among employees and 0.43% among workers. The company reported no disciplinary actions against directors or key managerial personnel for bribery or corruption during the fiscal year.

Environmental Metrics

The firm disclosed total energy consumption of 3,66,555 gigajoules, with renewable sources accounting for 71,184 gigajoules. Scope 1 emissions totaled 10,230 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, while Scope 2 emissions were 31,002 metric tonnes. Water withdrawal reached 4,53,761 kilolitres, primarily from third-party sources.

Consumer Grievances

The company received 39 consumer complaints during FY26, with 38 remaining pending resolution at year-end due to sub-judice status. No product recalls were reported for safety issues.

Force Motors reported a 14% year-on-year increase in standalone net profit after tax (PAT) to ₹212 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by a 6.0% growth in revenue. The automotive manufacturer’s standalone sales rose to ₹2,417 crore in Q1FY27, up from ₹2,279 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. This performance underscores the company's operational resilience amidst shifting market dynamics.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, on August 7, 2026. Rohan Sampat, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, submitted the investor presentation detailing the standalone and consolidated financial performance. The filing notes that the company shifted to the new tax regime starting from Q2FY26, which impacts the comparability of certain tax-related figures.

While top-line growth was evident, profitability before tax showed minimal movement. Profit before tax (PBT) stood at ₹289 crore, a marginal 1.0% increase over the ₹287 crore recorded in Q1FY26. This divergence between revenue growth and PBT stability suggests potential margin compression or increased operational costs offsetting the higher sales volume.

Financial Performance Overview

The following table highlights the key standalone financial metrics for Q1FY27 compared to Q1FY26:

Long-term compound annual growth rates (CAGR) indicate strong historical momentum. Over the last three years, sales have grown at a CAGR of 21.7%, while PAT has expanded at a CAGR of 99.7%. The 10-year CAGR for sales stands at 11.6%, reflecting sustained market presence.

What the Numbers Show

A notable analytical observation is the disproportionate growth in PAT relative to PBT. While PBT grew by only 1.0%, PAT surged by 14.0%. Given the company’s shift to the new tax regime in FY26, this improvement is likely attributable to favorable tax rate adjustments rather than pure operational leverage. Investors should monitor subsequent quarters to determine if operational margins are improving independently of tax benefits.

The company also highlighted its broader enterprise value exceeding ₹46,000 crores within the Dr. Abhay Firodia Group of Companies. Force Motors continues to leverage its Indo-German collaboration legacy, with facilities in Pune and Chennai manufacturing engines for global brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Sustainability metrics were also featured in the presentation. In FY25-26, the company achieved a 38% reduction in GHG emissions intensity against a target of 50% by 2030. Additionally, 43.5% of suppliers were ESG-screened, and renewable energy accounted for 31% of electricity usage, moving toward a 50% target by 2027.
