Kalyani Cast-Tech opens Gujarat plant as FY26 profit climbs 20%
Revenue hit ₹152 cr and profit ₹17.11 cr. A new factory is shipping and a cargo terminal is weeks from opening.
What's new
- FY26 profit grew 20% to ₹17.11 cr on revenue of ₹152.08 cr.
- New Gujarat manufacturing facility is operational and has started deliveries.
- Gati Shakti Cargo Rail Terminal is 95% complete, commissioning due by June 30.
Why this matters
The financials are steady. The real story is the operational shift from capex to cash flow. A nano-cap commissioning two major assets in a single quarter changes the company's profile, but the long-term revenue vision of ₹2,000 crore from a ₹152 crore base is a bet that requires proof.
What we're watching
- Ramp-up pace and capacity utilisation at the Gujarat facility.
- Commercial performance of the rail terminal after June commissioning.
- Execution of the ₹450-500 cr capex plan and its funding structure.
The full read
Kalyani Cast-Tech's FY26 results are clean. Revenue hit ₹152.08 crore and profit ₹17.11 crore, both up 20%. The news is the operational shift. A new Gujarat factory is now shipping.

Management then pointed to a ₹450-500 crore investment plan aimed at ₹2,000 crore in revenue within five years. That's a different company. The immediate focus shifts to how quickly the new assets start contributing to the top line. The numbers confirm the past. The assets promise the future.
