What’s new

• Record Q1 revenue of ₹185 crore, up 32% YoY; EBITDA margin at 12.2%
• Tipping jack production fell short of 300-unit target, achieving only ~200 kits
• Rear axle shaft facility commissioning on track for Sep 2026, but supply timeline moderated

Why it matters

Kross posted strong top-line growth and a 12.2% margin, but the miss on tipping jack production and the moderated axle shaft milestone signal execution headwinds on key growth projects. The ambitious export growth guidance of 40-45% for FY27 will test whether the company can deliver on its promises.

What we’re watching

• Whether tipping jack production ramps up to targeted levels in Q2
• Progress on the rear axle shaft facility towards Sep 2026 commissioning
• Export revenue share progress towards 8% in two years

The full read

Kross reported its best-ever Q1 revenue of ₹185 crore, up 32% year-on-year, with an EBITDA margin of 12.2%. But management acknowledged two key misses: tipping jack production of ~200 kits fell well short of the 300-unit target, and the rear axle shaft supply milestone was moderated, though commissioning remains on track for September 2026. The company guided for 40-45% export growth in FY27 and expects the Parivartan scheme and a recovering CV cycle to support demand. The record revenue is solid, but the near-term execution gaps temper the story. Capacity expansion projects remain on schedule, but the confidence around them now carries more weight.
