Pitti Engineering Q4 FY26: Profit Drops 26%, Revenue Up

What Pitti Engineering reported for Q4 FY26

Pitti Engineering Ltd (NSE: PITTIENG) reported a weaker profit print for the March 2026 quarter, even as its top line expanded. Net profit for Q4 FY26 fell 26.37% year-on-year to ₹26.61 crore. On a sequential basis, the company’s net profit declined 5.71% versus the previous quarter, according to the quarterly trend data shared.

Revenue momentum, however, stayed positive. In the Q4 FY26 earnings call dated May 18, 2026, the company said revenue from operations stood at ₹506 crore compared with ₹472 crore in Q4 FY25, a 7% increase. Separately, the company’s “About” snapshot also listed revenue of ₹501.09 crore as on March 2026 (Q4 FY26), reflecting the same broad quarter performance.

Revenue growth streak continues, profit trend remains weak

The trend snapshot highlighted that revenue has risen for the last two quarters, moving from ₹484.3 crore to ₹505.6 crore, with an average increase of 4.2% per quarter. This suggests growth has been steady rather than driven by a single spike.

Profitability has moved the other way. Net profit was stated to be down for the last three quarters, from ₹40.09 crore to ₹26.61 crore, with an average decrease of 17.7% per quarter. The Q4 commentary also pointed to sharp commodity and forex exchange moves as factors that affected margins during the quarter.

Full-year FY26 performance: higher revenue and EBITDA margin

For FY26, Pitti Engineering reported revenue from operations of ₹1,953 crore versus ₹1,743 crore in FY25, reflecting 12% growth. Adjusted EBITDA for FY26 stood at ₹326 crore, up from ₹272 crore in FY25, a 20% increase. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17% from 15.9%.

The company also reported adjusted tax of ₹128 crore for FY26 compared with ₹123 crore in FY25. Management described FY26 as a year of consolidation and capacity building, alongside continued movement “up the value chain” into more integrated and value-added products.

Segment mix: railways and traction motors remain the largest

Pitti Engineering shared segment contribution details for FY26, with traction motor and railway components forming the largest portion of revenue.

Volumes and utilisation: operational indicators improved

Operational metrics in the call indicated higher throughput and better utilisation. Total lamination and assemblies volume in Q4 FY26 stood at 18,400 tonnes, up 7.3% year-on-year. For FY26, lamination volume increased to 69,500 tonnes, up 10% compared with FY25.

Raw casting and machine components volumes for Q4 FY26 stood at 2,783 tonnes, with management noting temporary softness at the year-end. For FY26, machine components volumes rose 15.4% to 12,012 tonnes.
