Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), a global leader in fluid management solutions, has posted a strong financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with growth across revenue and profitability driven by steady domestic demand and robust international business momentum.

 

The company reported consolidated revenue from operations of Rs. 11,049 million for Q1 FY27, marking a 12.9% year-on-year increase from Rs. 9,790 million recorded in the same quarter last year. Total consolidated income stood at Rs. 11,197 million, up 12.5% compared with the corresponding period.

 

International business emerged as a major growth engine for KBL, with overseas revenue rising 18.06% year-on-year to Rs. 4,229 million from Rs. 3,568 million in Q1 FY26. International operations contributed more than 38% of consolidated revenue, underscoring the company’s expanding global presence. Domestic operations also maintained their momentum, with India revenue growing 9.6% year-on-year to Rs. 6,820 million.

 

On the profitability front, consolidated profit after tax from continuing operations stood at Rs. 676 million, while profit before exceptional items and tax reached Rs. 951 million. The company reported basic and diluted earnings per share of Rs. 8.39 during the quarter.

 

KBL’s standalone performance remained strong, with revenue from operations increasing 8.6% year-on-year to Rs. 6,738 million. Standalone profit before tax climbed 14.8% to Rs. 727 million, while profit after tax rose 14.9% to Rs. 540 million. Earnings per share improved to Rs. 6.80 from Rs. 5.93 in the year-ago quarter.

 

Commenting on the performance, the management of Kirloskar Brothers Limited said: "Our performance in the first quarter reflects the resilience of our core business and the strong momentum across our domestic and international operations. Robust international growth, healthy execution in India and sustained demand across our key sectors have enabled us to begin FY27 on a strong note. We remain committed to strengthening our technology leadership, delivering energy-efficient pumping solutions and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders."

 

The company said its Q1 FY27 operations were unaffected by any one-time impact related to the implementation of the New Labour Codes, following the absorption of transition-related statutory costs during FY26.

 

KBL also completed the operational integration of The Kolhapur Steel Limited with Karad Projects and Motors Limited, a restructuring move aimed at improving operational efficiency and delivering structural benefits.
