NDR Auto Components Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹164.03 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 20.6% increase from ₹135.96 crore in the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations grew 19.56% to ₹2,214.53 crore, driven by robust demand from key OEM partners including Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, and Kia. The company’s Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on August 10, 2026, and published them under Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The strong top-line growth was accompanied by an improvement in operational efficiency, with EBITDA rising to ₹264.45 crore from ₹204.56 crore in Q1FY26. This translated into an expanded EBITDA margin of 11.88%, up from 11.01% in the previous year. Standalone net profit also surged to ₹147.22 crore, compared to ₹111.84 crore in Q1FY26. The company remains debt-free, funding all capital expenditures through internal accruals, and recorded a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 35.34% as of June 30, 2026.
Strategic Expansions and Order Book
Management highlighted significant strategic developments during the analyst conference call held on August 11, 2026. The new plant in Ananthapur, operated by subsidiary NDR Auto Components South Private Limited, is expected to commence sales in Q2FY27. This facility has an annual capacity of 0.17 million pieces for seat trims and frames. The Board had previously authorized an ₹8 crore investment in this subsidiary through a rights issue of 80 lakh equity shares to optimize capacity. Management clarified that initial debt taken for NDR South has been converted into equity.
Additionally, the joint venture NDR Hayashi Automotive India Private Limited has begun operations in Bengaluru, focusing on high-margin interior components such as sunshades and ambient lighting. While the sunshade business has started, ambient lighting contributions are expected from 2028. As of June 30, 2026, the company maintained a healthy order book of ₹650 crore, providing sustained visibility into future quarters. Management noted that most orders are for seat frames and covers, with smaller portions for ambient lighting and other new products.

What the Numbers Show

The improvement in EBITDA margin from 11.01% to 11.88% despite a challenging macro environment highlights effective cost management and operational efficiencies. With a healthy order book of ₹650 crore and zero debt, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the recovery in passenger vehicle demand. Management indicated that future capex would be approximately ₹40 crore to ₹50 crore annually over the next couple of years, aiming for an asset turnover of approximately 4x on the combined capex across different plants.
