SKF India Ltd (NSE: SKFINDIA), a leading provider of bearing technologies, condition monitoring solutions, and related services, released its financial performance for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. For the period under review, the company posted consolidated operating revenue of ₹13,090.6 million. Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at ₹1,406.2 million, underscoring strong operational execution and steady performance in a fast-changing market environment.
The company delivered consolidated revenue of ₹13,090.6 million in Q2 FY2025–26, reflecting a 5.2% year-on-year increase compared to ₹12,442.3 million recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. This growth highlights steady market demand and consistent operational performance during the period. Profit Before Tax (PBT) also showed an improvement, rising to ₹1,406.2 million from ₹1,268.8 million a year earlier. The increase underscores stronger margin execution and the company’s continued focus on efficiency and disciplined financial management.
Commenting on the quarterly results, Shailesh Kumar Sharma, Managing Director of SKF India Limited, noted “This quarter is particularly significant as we finalize our transition into two specialized and agile organizations. Despite a highly dynamic market landscape, we delivered a 5.2% year-on-year revenue increase, demonstrating our continued focus on operational excellence and customer-first delivery. The demerger provides strategic clarity, enabling us to sharpen priorities, accelerate growth, and enhance value creation for all stakeholders.”
He added, “SKF Automotive is poised to support India’s evolving mobility landscape—from electric vehicles to two-wheelers and advanced safety systems—while SKF Industrial will strengthen reliability solutions for infrastructure, manufacturing, and the energy sector. With this redesigned structure, we can serve customers with greater responsiveness and precision, while aligning with India’s industrial expansion.”
Approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and endorsed by shareholders earlier this year, the demerger has resulted in the formation of two distinct entities — SKF Industrial and SKF Automotive — each operating with its own board and governance framework. SKF Industrial will concentrate on opportunities in manufacturing, railways, renewable energy, cement, and heavy engineering. The division plans investments of ₹8,000–9,500 million by 2030, including the establishment of a new manufacturing plant in Pune slated for completion by 2028. SKF Automotive will focus on India’s fast-changing mobility sector, supported by planned investments of ₹4,100–5,100 million by 2030 for capacity expansion across EV components, two-wheeler applications, and wheel-end bearings in Haridwar, Pune, and Bangalore.
Both entities will continue to draw on SKF’s global technology ecosystem, digital expertise, and commitment to sustainability, while operating with the autonomy needed to drive innovation and performance. For investors, the separation enhances visibility, strengthens capital discipline, and provides exposure to two high-potential sectors within India’s growth landscape.
