New Delhi: JK Tyre & Industries on Tuesday reported an 83 per cent rise in consolidated profit after tax for the fourth quarter of FY26 at Rs 188 crore, aided by strong domestic demand, higher sales volumes and improved operational efficiencies.
The company had posted a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of around Rs 103 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
Consolidated revenue from operations during the January-March quarter stood at Rs 4,233 crore, while EBITDA rose 42 per cent year-on-year to Rs 546 crore. EBITDA margin for the quarter came in at 12.9 per cent.
For the full financial year ended March 31, 2026, the company reported its highest-ever annual consolidated revenue of Rs 16,384 crore, registering an 11 per cent increase over the previous fiscal.
Annual consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs 2,089 crore with EBITDA margin at 12.8 per cent, while profit before tax (PBT) came in at Rs 1,043 crore. Consolidated PAT for FY26 stood at Rs 774 crore.
The board of directors has recommended a dividend of 200 per cent, equivalent to Rs 4 per equity share.
Commenting on the results, Raghupati Singhania described FY26 as a landmark year for the company.
“We delivered record volumes across segments, attaining the highest ever annual consolidated revenue of Rs 16,384 crore and achieving an EBITDA of Rs 2,089 crore, an increase of 25 per cent over the previous year,” he said.
He said the company registered healthy double-digit revenue growth driven by buoyant demand supported by GST and personal tax reforms, easing interest rates, improved economic activity and festive season demand.
According to the company, its India business remained the key growth driver during the fourth quarter, with sales volumes rising 21 per cent year-on-year across segments.
The original equipment (OE) segment recorded a sharp 42 per cent growth during the quarter, while exports remained resilient despite geopolitical uncertainties, including the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
The company said higher volumes, improved product mix and sustained cost optimisation initiatives supported profitability during the quarter.
Its subsidiary, JK Tornel, also contributed significantly to consolidated financial performance.
Singhania said the company has laid a strong foundation through capacity expansion and increased focus on higher value-added products for domestic as well as export markets.
“This positions us well to drive profitable growth in FY27, even as we navigate near-term input cost challenges amid a volatile global environment,” he added.
The company also said it has been recognised among India’s most sustainable companies, ranking among the top five in the automotive sector and top three in auto components category for its sustainability initiatives.
