The full read
Lumax Auto Technologies just posted its best year. Revenue climbed 34% to ₹4,870 crore, and profit jumped 47% to ₹337 crore for FY26. That growth was strong enough to support a ₹5.50 dividend per share. Beyond the numbers, the board moved to consolidate a key sensor business by buying the last 15.97% of Lumax FAE Technologies for just ₹1.92 crore. That will turn the oxygen-sensor unit into a wholly-owned subsidiary. The company also put a ₹36 crore guarantee behind its Alps Alpine joint venture and elevated promoter Deepak Jain to Vice Chairman. The results are solid but expected; the real signal is in the consolidation and governance moves.
