Hind.Aeronautics Q4 FY26
What went well
- Revenue from operations grew 7% to INR33,050 crores in FY26, despite global aerospace supply chain disruptions.
- EBITDA grew 11% to INR13,472 crores in FY26, with operating EBITDA margin maintained at 30%.
- Profit before tax increased 12% to INR12,112 crores in FY26.
What to watch
- LCA Mark-1A deliveries have been repeatedly delayed, with initial deliveries now expected by August or September 2026.
- Global aerospace supply chain disruptions are causing 'slowness' in component supply, potentially leading to minor delays in programs.
