Consolidated Financial Highlights for Q4 FY26​

For the quarter ending March 31, 2026, Elecon reported strong consolidated financial metrics. The company's performance for Q4 FY26 saw Consolidated Revenue reaching ₹ 746 crores, and EBITDA stood at ₹ 158 crores, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 21.2%.

The company also proposed a final dividend of Rs 1.50 per equity share, subject to shareholders' approval.

Segment Performance Analysis​

The company detailed its performance across two key divisions: Gear and MHE.

Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Division
The MHE division demonstrated robust growth, reporting a revenue of ₹ 274 crores for the quarter. This represents a year-over-year increase of 36.8%. The segment maintained healthy profitability, with the EBIT margin standing at 22.8%, and EBIT recorded at ₹ 62 crores compared to ₹ 59 crores in the corresponding quarter last year. The division continues to secure new orders in the domestic market and anticipates order inflows from international markets moving forward, bolstered by a strong inquiry pipeline.

Gear Division
In the Gear Division, revenue for Q4 FY26 was ₹ 472 crores, which reflected a decline of 21% compared to ₹ 597 crores recorded in Q4 FY25. This decrease was primarily attributed to various factors, including delays in order inflows, extended dispatch schedules, and customer deferment of deliveries amid ongoing global macroeconomic challenges. Despite the revenue dip, the division continues to witness steady demand from key sectors such as power, steel, cement, and MHE, supported by a healthy open order book that suggests growth recovery in the coming year.

Management Commentary and Outlook​

Shri Prayasvin B. Patel, Chairman & Managing Director of Elecon Engineering Company Ltd, commented on the operational momentum, noting that the strong open order book, combined with a positive order inflow outlook, provides good visibility for the coming year.

Elecon reiterated its status as a market leader in India for both Industrial Gear Solutions and Material Handling Equipment. While global challenges exist, the company remains committed to expanding its overseas business across multiple geographies.

The management stated that the sustained investment activity in key sectors within India, such as power, steel, and cement, is expected to drive continued demand. Looking ahead, Elecon’s growth strategy is focused on forging strategic alliances with global partners, continued investment in Research & Development (R&D) and innovation, and scaling up its high-growth MHE division to deliver sustainable, profitable growth both domestically and globally.
