Rane (Madras) Ltd, a part of the Chennai-based Rane Group of Companies, a leading auto component group, reported over five times increase in consolidated net profit to ₹37 crores for fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with ₹6.5 crores in Q4 FY25. Total revenue was by 16 per cent to ₹1,052 crores (₹905 crores).

The Q4 FY25 included non-recurring charges of ₹11 crores in merger-related exceptional expenses and a ₹6 crores tax impact from MAT credit reversals, the company noted.

Sales to domestic original equipment customers grew by 11 per cent mainly due to higher offtake across vehicle segments. Sales to International customers increased by 27 per cent supported by strong offtake of steering products. Sales to Indian aftermarket customers experienced a 16 per cent growth, says a statement.

During Q4 FY26, the company incurred capital expenditure of ₹53 crores, taking the full-year FY26 capex to ₹191 crores. Investments were directed primarily towards capacity expansion in steering, engine and brake components.

In fiscal 2025-26, net profit more than doubled to ₹108 crore (₹38 crore). Revenue was up 13 per cent to ₹3,863 crore (₹3,406 crore).

Dividend

The company’s board has recommended a final dividend of ₹16 per equity share on the paid-up capital of 2,76,37,137 of ₹10 each.

During Q4 FY26, the company secured new business wins with an annualized sales of ₹33 crores, taking the full-year FY26 order wins with an annualised sales value of ₹712 crores, across domestic OEM and international customers.

On the outlook, in FY27 the company is cautiously optimistic about the demand environment. “While domestic demand remains stable, the company continues to monitor external risks that could influence the operating environment. Factors such as geopolitical developments, volatility in crude oil and commodity prices, exchange‑rate movements, and potential supply‑chain disruptions could affect production costs,” it said.

Against this backdrop, the company expects to drive cost savings initiatives to mitigate the external headwinds and deliver further margin improvement in FY27.

This will be supported by new business ramp-ups, and continued efficiency initiatives across its manufacturing plants, the release said.
