Financial Performance and Dividend
During the meeting, management highlighted the company's performance for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26). Standalone revenue grew by approximately 15.4%, reaching ₹2,129 crore. Profit before tax stood at approximately ₹235 crore, representing a decline of around 34% compared with the previous year, primarily driven by one-off factors rather than operational deterioration. Profit after tax was reported at ₹117 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 15%.
The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of ₹40 per equity share of face value ₹10 each, which equates to a 400% payout. This resolution was approved by shareholders during the AGM. Other key financial metrics disclosed included a book value per share of ₹269 and earnings per share of ₹23.7.
Strategic Focus Post De-merger
Gopal Subramanyam, Chairperson, noted that the AGM marked the first annual general meeting following the de-merger of the company's industrial business, effective October 1, 2025. SKF India is now a focused automotive company. Shailesh Sharma, Managing Director, outlined plans for capacity expansion across facilities in Pune, Haridwar, and Bangalore. The company plans a capital expenditure of around ₹500 crore up to 2028, with approximately ₹170–200 crore allocated for 2026 alone.
Management also announced a new brand identity, "SKF Vertevo," reflecting its focus on transformation and mobility. The company emphasized its commitment to electrification, highlighting the development of high-speed deep-groove ball bearings capable of operating at 20,000 RPM for EV and hybrid platforms.
