UNO Minda Ltd reported a quarterly revenue of INR 5,336 crore [1], marking an 18% increase year-on-year [2].
This growth comes as the company navigates rising input costs that threaten profit margins. By implementing price adjustments and expanding its global footprint, the firm aims to protect its bottom line while sustaining its upward trajectory in the competitive automotive parts sector.
For the quarter ended March 2026, the company posted an EBITDA of INR 603 crore [3], which represents a 14% increase year-on-year [4]. The EBITDA margin stood at 11.3% [5]. Additionally, the Profit After Tax (PAT) reached INR 326 crore [6], an increase of 32% compared to the previous year [7].
Chief Financial Officer Sunil Bohra said the company remains confident that margins will recover and revenue will continue to grow despite the pressure from higher costs. To counteract these expenses, the company intends to adjust its pricing strategy in the near future.
"We expect price adjustments to start kicking in from Q2," Bohra said during an interview with CNBC-TV18.
These adjustments are slated to begin in the second quarter of FY27 [8]. Beyond domestic pricing, the company is shifting its focus toward international markets to diversify its income streams, and drive long-term scale.
Bohra said, "We will start seeing significant ramp-up in exports revenue from FY28" [9].
This strategic pivot toward exports is designed to complement the immediate price corrections. By leveraging a stronger export presence, UNO Minda intends to reduce its reliance on the domestic market and capitalize on global demand for automotive components.
“"We expect price adjustments to start kicking in from Q2."”
UNO Minda's strategy reflects a broader trend among Indian automotive suppliers to balance domestic inflation with global expansion. By timing price hikes for Q2 FY27 and targeting a major export surge by FY28, the company is attempting to create a buffer against volatile raw material costs. The strong PAT growth in Q4 FY26 suggests the company has the financial headroom to implement these changes without compromising its current growth momentum.
