Shubhabrata Saha, Managing Director & CEO, Ajax Engineering Limited, said, “Following a strong FY25, where we crossed ₹2,000 crore in revenue and expanded our market leadership, Q1 FY26 marks a phase of transition. The full switch to CEV-5 compliant products, coupled with external factors like rains and delayed infra execution, temporarily moderated demand. However, we have remained focused on capability building and execution excellence. Our SLCM business remained stable, and our non-SLCM volumes grew 25% YoY.”
“We continue to build capability in our B2B go-to-market channel, especially in the top metro cities, which will support long-term growth in the non-SLCM segment and we plan to commission our Adinarayanahosahalli plant in H2 FY26, which will lay the foundation for the next stage of scalable, diversified growth.”
Tuhin Basu, Chief Financial Officer, Ajax Engineering Limited, added “Our Q1 revenue remained stable YoY, while margins were impacted due to product mix and by cost increases experienced due to transition to CEV-5 norms. However, we remain fundamentally strong—debt-free with a healthy cash balance.”
“We expect business momentum to improve from H2 FY26, as is typical for our industry. Our long- term strategy remains on track with continued investments in leadership, product innovation, and capacity expansion.”
