During the call, management reported an all-time high for CV volume, revenue, profit, and cash surplus in Q1 FY27, despite geopolitical uncertainties. The company achieved broad-based growth across core businesses, demonstrating operational resilience. The domestic MHCV industry volume grew by 13% YoY, with Ashok Leyland's MHCV truck volume at 22,998 units (up 15% YoY) and a market share of 29%. Domestic LCV offtake volume was 18,874 units (up 21% YoY), marking the highest ever Q1 volume for the LCV business, with a VAHAN market share of 13.2%. Exports volume declined by 18% YoY due to logistical challenges in the UAE plant, though SAARC and Africa volumes grew substantially.
Non-CV businesses also showed strong performance, with domestic aftermarket revenue up 12.7% YoY, Power Solutions revenue up 51% YoY, and defense business revenue up 64% YoY. Financially, Ashok Leyland achieved a record Q1 revenue of ₹9,634 crores (up 10% YoY). EBITDA was ₹970 crores, with a margin of 10.1% (100 basis points lower YoY) due to rising material costs. Profit Before Tax (PBT) was ₹830 crores (up 4% YoY), and Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹609 crores (up 3% YoY). The company maintained a strong cash position with ₹2,252 crores in net cash.
Management highlighted new product introductions, including air suspension technology in multi-axle trucks and the HIPPO and TAURUS truck ranges. The EV subsidiary, Switch Mobility India, secured an order for 650 electric buses, adding to its existing order book of 2,100 e-buses. Hinduja Leyland Finance (HLF) saw its Assets Under Management (AUM) expand by 20% YoY to ₹60,310 crores, with PAT growing by 37% to ₹123 crores. The reverse merger of HLF with NDL Ventures is progressing.
Looking ahead, management expects commodity prices to remain a challenge in Q2 but anticipates softening from Q3 onwards. The company is focusing on price realization, cost savings, product mix improvement, and has taken price increases in July, with further considerations. The outlook for the CV industry remains positive, with expectations of high single-digit growth for MHCV and slightly better for LCV on a full-year basis, driven by replacement demand and favorable macroeconomics.
