Sona BLW Precision Forgings Q1 profit jumps 45% YoY to ₹180 crore; co enters Robotics & Physical AI segment

The company reported a consolidated net profit (attributable to the owners of the company) of ₹180.47 crore during the quarter under review, marking a 44.71% year-on-year (YoY) increase from ₹124.71 crore in the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year (Q1 FY26).

On a sequential basis, however, its profit declined 5.9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) from ₹191.92 crore in the quarter-ago period.

Its revenue from operations advanced by 52.38% YoY to ₹1,301.20 crore in the June FY27 quarter, as against ₹853.91 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. It jumped 3.47% QoQ from ₹1,257.5 crore in the March quarter of FY26.

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) revenue grew 107% YoY and constituted 44% of automotive product sales during the quarter.

At an operational level, its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), also known as operating profit, stood at ₹303 crore for the reporting quarter, marking a 49% YoY increase from ₹202.5 crore in Q1 FY26.

However, its EBITDA margin contracted by 70 basis points (bps) YoY to 23.1% from 23.8%, as the positive impact of operating leverage partially compensated for the product mix and higher input prices.

The company announced the expansion of its existing Sensors and Software growth vertical to the complete ecosystem of Robotics and Physical AI.

In the new robotics and physical AI segment, Sona BLW will focus on the entire value chain.

What the CEO said

Commenting on the earnings, Vivek Vikram Singh, MD & Group CEO, said: “Q1 FY27 marks the unveiling of Sona Comstar 2.0, our ambition to grow tenfold again over the next decade. As part of this strategy, we announced our entry into Robotics and Physical AI. Our partnership with DENSO also takes us into high-voltage electric and hybrid powertrain systems, completing an important missing piece in our electrification portfolio.”

Singh further stated that the quarter was strong financially, with the company delivering its highest-ever quarterly revenue, BEV revenue and BEV revenue share.

“Revenue grew by 54% year on year, while EBITDA and PAT increased by 49% and 45%, respectively. BEV revenue more than doubled, and its share of automotive revenue reached an all-time high of 44%, despite continued weakness in the US EV market,” he added.

He said that this demonstrates the increasing diversification of the company’s EV business across customers, products and geographies.

“We also secured new business across EV, hybrid and ICE powertrains, spanning India, Europe and North America and nearly every product category in which we operate,” Singh added.

Shares of the firm closed 0.93% lower at ₹719.75 per unit on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday. However, the results were announced after the markets closed.

Sona BLW Precision Forgings has a total market capitalisation of ₹44,585.12 crore as of July 23, 2026, according to data on the NSE.
