New Delhi: Sundaram Clayton Limited (SCL) reported a 9% year-on-year growth in EBITDA for the second quarter of FY 2025–26, reaching ₹79.1 crore compared to ₹72.5 crore in Q2 FY 2024–25. Despite a decline in standalone revenue to ₹462.9 crore from ₹542.1 crore—attributed to the divestment of its two-wheeler casting business in Hosur during Q4 FY 2024–25—the company maintained strong operational efficiency. For the half-year ended September 2025, EBITDA stood at ₹149.7 crore, up from ₹133.7 crore in the same period last year, while revenue dropped to ₹906.9 crore from ₹1,095.7 crore.
The domestic automotive market, particularly the Commercial Vehicle (CV) and Passenger Vehicle (PV) segments, is expected to maintain momentum in H2 FY 2025–26, bolstered by GST rate reductions. However, export prospects remain muted due to tariff uncertainties in the United States, which may affect production schedules.
SCL’s India operations received widespread customer appreciation for its streamlined processes and operational excellence at the Thervoy Kandigai Plant (TKP) in Chennai. The company earned accolades for cost management and safety, including the Prithvi Award from the ESG Research Foundation and the STAR Award for ESG practices from the Tamil Nadu Minister of Labor Welfare & Skill Development.
In the United States, SCL continues to strengthen its strategic partnerships and is well-positioned to benefit from the renewed emphasis on local manufacturing. The company remains actively engaged with customers and is introducing new products to meet evolving market demands.
