The full read
Menon Bearings delivered a strong FY26. Revenue climbed 23% to ₹300 crore and net profit surged 53% to ₹38.25 crore. Management is now looking ahead to a ₹500 crore revenue target by 2028, a goal that requires a 25% compound annual growth rate. To get there, the company is committing ₹35 crore in capital expenditure over the next two years. The bulk of this—₹25 crore—is earmarked for its Bi-Metal division. Exports are a key pillar of this strategy, currently representing 35% of revenue after a 50% year-on-year increase. The company is also betting on new product pipelines in PTFE and railways to add ₹80 crore in combined revenue from aluminium and Bi-Metal parts. Maintaining EBITDA margins between 20% and 22% while scaling at this pace is the next test for the management team.
