Schaeffler India Automotive Technologies revenue rose 25% in CY25

Schaeffler India Limited’s Automotive Technologies revenue rose 24.6% to Rs 3,137.2 crore in CY25 from Rs 2,517.9 crore in CY24. Schaeffler India opened its fifth manufacturing plant at Shoolagiri, inaugurated an e-axle line at Talegaon, Pune, and reported its first e-axle delivery to a leading Indian original equipment manufacturer in 2025.

How fast did Schaeffler India Automotive Technologies grow in CY25?

Schaeffler India Automotive Technologies grew by Rs 619.3 crore, or 24.6%, between CY24 and CY25. Revenue increased from Rs 2,517.9 crore to Rs 3,137.2 crore, after a smaller Rs 68.1 crore increase from Rs 2,449.8 crore in CY23 to Rs 2,517.9 crore in CY24. The CY25 rise was therefore larger than the prior year’s increase in both absolute and percentage terms.

Schaeffler India reported CY25 Automotive Technologies revenue Rs 687.4 crore above the CY23 level. The division’s portfolio includes electric drives, hybrid drives, clutch systems, engine and transmission systems, and chassis systems. The reported revenue therefore covers both conventional drivetrain-related products and electrified-drive offerings, rather than identifying e-axles as the sole source of growth.

Schaeffler India Automotive Technologies was the second-largest reported segment by CY25 revenue, behind Bearings & Industrial Solutions at Rs 3,586.5 crore and ahead of Vehicle Lifetime Solutions at Rs 1,139.8 crore. Its Rs 619.3 crore year-on-year revenue increase exceeded the Rs 123.5 crore gain in Vehicle Lifetime Solutions and the Rs 124 crore gain in Bearings & Industrial Solutions.

What manufacturing expansion did Schaeffler India complete in 2025?

Schaeffler India opened its fifth manufacturing plant at Shoolagiri, Tamil Nadu, in 2025. The footprint presentation identifies Shoolagiri as an Automotive Technologies site established in 2025, with DMF and clutches listed for the location. The addition brought Schaeffler India’s Indian manufacturing network to five plants across Automotive Technologies and Bearings & Industrial Solutions.

Schaeffler India’s Automotive Technologies plants are at Hosur, Pune and Shoolagiri. Hosur, established in 1977, is listed for clutches, CRS and planetary gear sets; Pune, established in 2001, is listed for e-axles, ASEH/SLH and needle bearings. Maneja, established in 1962, and Savli, established in 2012, are the two Bearings & Industrial Solutions locations.

Schaeffler India also inaugurated an e-axle line at Talegaon, Pune, as a 2025 milestone. The presentation does not disclose the line’s investment value, installed capacity, production start date or expected revenue contribution. It places the new line alongside the Shoolagiri opening and locally developed advanced tractor dampers as Automotive Technologies milestones during 2025.

What does Schaeffler India’s first e-axle delivery show?

Schaeffler India delivered its first e-axle to a leading Indian original equipment manufacturer in 2025. The presentation identifies this as a business win after the inauguration of the e-axle line at Talegaon, Pune. It does not identify the customer, vehicle programme, delivery volume or value of the nomination.

Schaeffler India includes electric drives and hybrid drives in its Automotive Technologies portfolio. The company describes its current Automotive Technologies role as operational scale, manufacturing depth and customer continuity, while describing e-mobility as building scalable electrification capability for India’s electric-vehicle roadmap. This is management’s stated business direction rather than a forecast for e-axle revenue.

Schaeffler India also reported a global original equipment manufacturer nomination for transmission components in 2025. Other disclosed business wins included cam phasing and Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, ready internal-combustion-engine solutions, plus a split-torque clutch with an advanced damper for a tractor original equipment manufacturer. These wins show that the division’s activity spanned transmission, engine and agricultural applications alongside electrification.

How does locally developed product work fit Schaeffler India’s automotive plan?

Schaeffler India developed advanced tractor dampers locally in 2025. It also lists a split-torque clutch with an advanced damper as a business win for a tractor original equipment manufacturer. These disclosures connect local product development with an agricultural-vehicle application, although the presentation gives no production volume, customer name or revenue associated with the products.

Schaeffler India’s plant list provides manufacturing context for the products disclosed in 2025. Shoolagiri is listed for DMF and clutches, while Hosur is listed for clutches, CRS and planetary gear sets. Pune is listed for e-axles, ASEH/SLH and needle bearings, distinguishing the disclosed e-drive location from the clutch-related Shoolagiri addition.

Schaeffler India’s CY25 revenue increase occurred while it added the Shoolagiri plant and inaugurated the Talegaon e-axle line. The presentation supports the timing of these events and the 24.6% Automotive Technologies revenue increase, but does not quantify revenue from Shoolagiri, locally developed tractor dampers or the first e-axle delivery. Their separate financial contributions remain undisclosed.

Conclusion

Schaeffler India Automotive Technologies recorded the largest year-on-year revenue increase among its three reported segments in CY25, reaching Rs 3,137.2 crore. The 24.6% increase followed a smaller CY24 rise, while the year also brought a fifth Indian plant, an e-axle line and a first e-axle delivery. The disclosed activity combines conventional drivetrain, tractor and electrified-drive products.

What to watch next is whether Schaeffler India discloses customer programmes, delivery volumes or revenue contribution for the Talegaon e-axle line. Management identifies e-mobility as a route to scalable electrification capability, but the presentation provides no e-axle capacity target, sales target or timetable for further commercialisation.
