management side, we have with us Mr. Sudhir Rai, Chairman and Managing Director; Mr.
Sumeet Rai, Whole-time Director; and Mr. Kunal Rai, Whole-time Director and CFO.
So, without taking much of your time, I'll now hand over call to Kunal. Over to you, Kunal.
Sudhir Rai: Yes, hi Mihir. Thank you. I'll start off the opening remarks. Okay, this is Sudhir. Okay, good
morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us on this earnings call of Kross Limited for the first
quarter ended June 30th, 2026. Along with me, I have Sumeet Rai and Kunal Rai, Whole-time
Directors. Kunal Rai is also the CFO, as well as our senior team members and our Investor
Relations Advisor, Kaptify Consulting.
I am pleased to report that Kross Limited has concluded its best top line in Q1 FY27 with a sale
of INR185.35 crores, registering a growth of 32% year-on-year, building on the strong
momentum of Q4 FY26. EBITDA grew by 39.5% year-on-year to 225.54 million with margin
expansions to 12.23%, while PAT increased 24.4% year-on-year to 133.12 million. This
performance demonstrates our continued focus on profitable growth, operational efficiency, and
disciplined execution amidst a recovering industry environment.
I would like to further brief you on a few highlights of our company and business ahead. We
have finally commissioned and productionized our extrusion line. We are very upbeat to
showcase this improvement to our fleet owners, customers, and trailer fabricators. The trailer
segment -- sorry, the tractor segment is doing very well and commercial vehicles along with the
trailer segment is doing better than expected. In general, if you see, our Q1 results are in line of
our targets for this coming financial year.
To add to this, recently the government has announced Parivartan scheme. To brief you on this,
this scheme will be with effect from 30th October 26. This scheme will not allow any BS4 or
less vehicles to enter Delhi NCR region. With this scheme, if a transporter replaces his old
vehicle, he gets benefit of 10 years holiday of road tax. He gets free registrations for his new
vehicle. He also gets close to 13% discount, 5% in the form of a subsidy and 8% discounts from
the OEM.
We feel the Parivartan scheme will be good for the commercial vehicle segment and on the same
line, GST reforms which were announced last year continued to be supportive of the CV
industry.

With this, I hand over this call to Sumeet Rai to brief you on the segmental performance and the
future outlook of the company. Thank you.
Sumeet Rai: Thank you. I'll brief you on the segment performance and the industry. Regarding the M&HCV
segment, the momentum in the CV segment from Q4 FY26 continued into Q1 FY27. The period
of June, July are where demands are slightly subdued due to monsoon. In spite of that, there has
been indications from the OEMs for a strong September Q2 and then subsequently Q3 and Q4.
These trends are first time supported by healthy order books.
Regarding the Trailer segment, with continued growth in the CV market, the trailer segment is
also projecting good volumes. Our business on axle suspension and tipping jacks is progressing
well year-on-year. The extruded axle beam has started production and volumes on axles and
suspensions have increased 30% year-on-year.
Regarding the Tractor segment, demand has been consistent, on track to increase contribution
meaningfully over the coming years. April 2026 tractor industry data remained encouraging and
we remain on track to meaningfully increase the contribution of tractor segment sales to our
revenues.
Regarding exports, the efforts are underway to grow share in export in line with our projections,
which is supported by a 45% growth year-on-year. I'll brief you now on certain capacity
expansions and new initiatives. Our strategic investments are on track and will further drive
growth in the future.
The successful ramp-up of tipping jacks has been encouraging for us. We have sold 226 in Q1
of FY27 and we hope to further scale this in the subsequent quarters. The axle beam extrusion
line is now in production, and we hope this will bring in even more orders for our trailer axle.
Progress on the seamless tube facility is on track. Piercing mill has been received, sizing and
straightening mills are on the high seas and this is progressing as per schedule.
We are further expanding on our casting capacity. A high-pressure mold line for our foundry is
expected to start in Q3. This will double our foundry capacity. Axle shaft production facility
using material gathering and press forging technology is on track for commissioning by
September 2026. These initiatives reinforce our commitment to innovation, self-reliance, and
critical component manufacturing.
With this, I would like to hand over the call to Mr. Kunal Rai to provide a detailed walkthrough
of the financial performance.
Kunal Rai: Hi, good morning, everybody. Let me take you through the key financial highlights for quarter
one of FY27. Firstly, for the quarter which has ended June 30, 2026, as far as our revenue is
concerned, it's at INR184.3 crores, registering a strong 32.3% growth compared to INR139.3
crores in quarter one of FY26. This growth basically has been driven by healthy volume traction
across the medium and heavy commercial vehicle, the trailers, and also the tractor segment.
The total income has been at INR184.7 crores. EBITDA has increased by 39.5% year-on-year.
The margins right now are at -- for quarter one are at 12.23%, up 63 bps Y-o-Y, reflecting
