Schaeffler India’s net profit rose 13.2 percent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 237 crore in Q4, supported by a 14 percent increase in revenue to Rs 2,136 crore, driven by strong demand across key segments.
Profitability also improved, with EBITDA rising 14.2 percent YoY to Rs 370.2 crore. However, EBITDA margin remained steady at 17.3 percent, suggesting that operational efficiencies and a better product mix helped offset rising input costs.
