Sundaram Clayton Limited (SCL) posted a strong 16% year-on-year increase in EBITDA to ₹70.6 crore in Q1 FY 2025–26, compared to ₹61.1 crore in the same period last year. Standalone revenue stood at ₹444.1 crore, lower than ₹553.6 crore in Q1 FY 2024–25, with the previous year’s figure including sales from the Hosur business, which was divested in Q4 FY 2024–25.

In India, SCL ramped up full-scale operations at its advanced die-casting facility in ThervoyKandigai (TKP), Chennai. The plant commenced smooth operations without disruption. As part of a strategic consolidation move, the company is in the final stages of merging its three plants (TKP, Oragadam, and Mahindra World City) into two – TKP and Oragadam – to enhance operational efficiency.

In the US, SCL reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹79.7 crore in Q1 FY26, marking a 32% year-on-year growth. This was achieved despite ongoing softness in the North American market. The milestone was driven by serial production from the company’s 4,400-ton machine at its South Carolina facility. SCL remains confident in the long-term potential of the North American region and continues to invest in strengthening its global presence.

Established in 1962, Sundaram Clayton is a critical supplier to the global automotive industry, providing high-precision aluminium die-cast components for both commercial and passenger vehicles. The company remains focused on technological advancement, operational integration, and sustainability.
