The company’s standalone EBITDA for FY25 rose 15 per cent to ₹654 crore, up from ₹567 crore in FY24. The EBITDA margin improved to 12.8 per cent from 11.7 per cent a year ago. This performance underscores KOEL’s operational efficiency and resilience amid evolving market conditions.

Commenting on the results, Gauri Kirloskar, Managing Director, Kirloskar Oil Engines, said, “This quarter marks the end of our 2x3y journey. At the beginning of FY 22, we had announced an ambitious plan to grow the company 2 times in 3 years, our 2x3y goal. Against this aspiration that we set out for ourselves, our topline grew 1.6x, our EBITDA grew 2.4x and our Cash from Operations grew 2.6x. We had immense learnings from the last 3 years, not everything went as per our plans, but our teams showed great agility and resilience to deliver great results consistently over 3 years. I am very proud of what we achieved as a team in these 3 years, and this performance gives me confidence as we embark on our next phase of growth, the 2B2B strategy, i.e. to grow the company to a 2 billion dollar organization in the next 5 years.”
