Ramkrishna Forgings sees profit surge despite mixed operational landscape

Ramkrishna Forgings Limited reported a substantial 46.62% increase in Profit After Tax (PAT) to ₹ 40,182.01 Lakhs for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, compared to ₹ 27,404.73 Lakhs in the previous year. Revenue from operations also rose by 3.86% to ₹ 3,63,429.92 Lakhs. This growth was driven by an improved product basket in the domestic market, though export sales marginally decreased by 0.05% to ₹ 1,48,209.02 Lakhs.

Despite the positive PAT, EBIDTA saw a 20.29% decrease to ₹ 61,085.75 Lakhs. The company faced an increase in finance costs by 6.91% to ₹ 14,667.90 Lakhs, attributed to higher loans and hardening interest rates. Manufacturing operations produced 47,352 tons of forgings, a 3.47% decrease, but achieved 194 new product developments.

The company's board has proposed an interim dividend of ₹ 1.00 per equity share for FY 2024-25. The total cash outflow for dividends is approximately ₹ 3,618.59 Lakhs. Share capital saw an increase due to the allotment of equity shares through ESOPs.
