Craftsman Automation delivered exceptional Q4 results that significantly exceeded expectations, with revenue growing 27.3% year-on-year to ₹2,226 crore and EBITDA surging 47.2% to ₹358.5 crore from ₹243.6 crore in the previous year.

According to reports from CNBC TV18, the strong performance was aided by reduced exceptional items from ₹10 crore to ₹54 lakh and higher other income components. The latest data shows consolidated profit attributable to owners rising 74.39% year-on-year to ₹116.42 crore, with total income during the quarter standing at ₹2,245.51 crore compared to ₹1,754.48 crore in Q4FY25.
All three business segments demonstrated robust growth with revenue increases ranging between 20% to 30% during the quarter. The Aluminium Products segment led performance with 30.3% revenue growth to ₹1,310.07 crore from ₹1,005.53 crore, making it the largest revenue contributor. The Powertrain segment posted 20% revenue growth to ₹607.94 crore with EBIT rising nearly 75% to ₹116.77 crore from ₹66.71 crore, signaling strong demand from the automotive drivetrain space. The Industrial & Engineering segment grew 30% to ₹308.4 crore from ₹237.19 crore, though segment EBIT was comparatively modest at ₹18.76 crore. The strong performance was driven by healthy demand across business segments and improved execution during the quarter.
