CIE Automotive India Ltd

CIE Automotive India Limited reported Q3 CY26 results with INR18 billion in Indian sales, up 18% YoY and 9% QoQ, driven by robust demand across segments except tractors. EBITDA margin in India fell to 16.3% due to cost pressures from West Asia conflicts, though EBITDA grew 11% YoY. European sales declined 4% YoY to INR7.6 billion, impacted by seasonal factors and stagnant auto markets, but EBITDA margin improved to 16.3% due to restructuring. Consolidated sales reached INR25.6 billion, with EBITDA up 11% YoY. For 9 months CY26, Indian sales rose 16% to INR50.7 billion, while European sales increased 7% to INR25.7 billion. Management noted ongoing order inflows, with INR9.7 billion in new Indian orders and INR3 billion in Europe. Capex in India is nearly doubling compared to last year, focusing on forging, aluminum, and expansion projects. European challenges include Chinese EV competition and market consolidation, though margins remain strong. The GKN contract reduction in Mexico was offset by capacity shifts to India. Management emphasized adapting to market changes and expects growth from new projects and EV components.
