A new 650 kVA genset, developed fully in-house by the R&D team, was also launched during the period.
Mobility Solutions, which includes automotive engines, aftermarket retail, Engineered Components, and associated services, delivered 48% YoY growth in Q4, driven by strong domestic demand for three-wheeler diesel engines and continued momentum in Euro V+ engine exports.

The company has successfully supplied the first pilot batch of rare-earth-free motors to a 3-wheeler L5 OEM customer and is in advanced discussions for a firm supply order.

On the international business front, revenues increased from approximately 9% in FY25 to 13% of total revenues in FY26, driven by deepened Euro V+ engine exports through partnerships such as Ligier and expanded presence across Europe and the Middle East.
