Power Generation Business Leads Growth

The power generation segment remained the key growth driver, recording a strong 40% growth, well ahead of peers. This was supported by a better product mix, higher demand for high-horsepower engines, improved cost control, and higher exports.

Growth in industrial segments such as defence and railways also added to the company’s performance.

Conclusion

Kirloskar Oil Engines’ sharp rally and new 52-week high reflect strong investor confidence in the company’s improving business performance. With robust growth in the power generation segment, rising exports, and improving margins, the company appears well placed for sustained growth, even amid broader market weakness.
