Q1 results set the immediate context

Wheels India Ltd reported revenue of ₹1,491.00 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the first quarter of FY27.

Revenue rises year-on-year despite sequential decline

The June quarter revenue performance followed a stronger March quarter, when reported revenue was ₹1,564.02 crore. The company’s quarterly financial data also listed June 2026 consolidated revenue at ₹1,492.79 crore. This was compared with ₹1,268.61 crore in June 2025, representing growth of about 18%. Automotive components accounted for about 83% of Wheels India’s sales in FY26. The company also reported export revenue of about ₹380 crore in the June 2026 quarter. Export revenue increased about 17% year-on-year, led by wheels for construction equipment.

Profit metrics remained higher than last year

Key quarterly financial data

The sequential movement across profit measures was sharper than the decline in revenue. Net profit fell from ₹58.81 crore in the March quarter, when operating conditions produced an EBITDA margin of 8.85%. The June quarter margin was nevertheless above the level recorded in June 2025. Earnings per share for June 2026 was listed at ₹15.68, compared with ₹12.23 in June 2025.
