Business Segments

Carraro India Limited reports its operations across three primary segments: Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, and Others (comprising gears, spare parts, and engineering services). These segments reflect the company’s diversified revenue base across agricultural and construction equipment markets, supported by a balanced mix of domestic and export business.

Segment Revenue Summary (₹ Million)

Source: Carraro India Limited Annual Report 2025-26.

Agricultural Equipment Segment

The Agricultural Equipment segment delivered a strong performance in 2025-26. Revenue rose 19% year-on-year to ₹10,192 Million from ₹8,565 Million in 2024-25. This segment accounted for 45.2% of total revenue from operations (Calculated by FirmsWorld).

Growth was supported by favourable industry conditions, firm domestic tractor demand, and the accelerating shift towards four-wheel-drive (4WD) tractors. The reduction of GST rates nearly equalised the pre-GST price of 2WD tractors with the post-GST price of 4WD models, accelerating 4WD adoption. The domestic 4WD axle market grew strongly, well ahead of the broader tractor industry.

Carraro India holds a strong position in the domestic non-captive 4WD axle market. The company continued to ramp up capacity to meet expected demand. It also made progress in its higher-horsepower transmission portfolio. Series production of a new high-horsepower transmission for an export customer commenced during the year. Transmission programmes for customers in Turkey and India continued to progress. Start of production for the Turkish programme is expected in 2026-27, while the Indian programme is expected to enter production in 2027-28.

Engineering services within this segment gained importance. The company signed an engineering services agreement valued at approximately ₹17.5 Crore with Montra Electric for the industrialisation and supply of e-transmissions for electric agricultural tractors. The project progressed well, including receipt of a prototype order for field validation. Revenue from engineering services overall reached ₹100 Million during 2025-26.

The company advanced technology-led initiatives, including pilot production of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) units and development of higher-horsepower driveline platforms. These support participation in future-ready agricultural drivetrain technologies.

Construction Equipment Segment

The Construction Equipment segment recorded robust growth. Revenue rose 31% year-on-year to ₹9,837 Million from ₹7,491 Million in 2024-25. This represented 43.6% of total revenue from operations (Calculated by FirmsWorld).

Key drivers included strong export growth and the ramp-up of new product programmes. The continued scale-up of Tele Boom Handler (TBH) axle supplies to a major international OEM under a global sourcing programme contributed significantly. The TBH platform gained traction and emerged as an important contributor to export growth.

New TBH axle programmes with a domestic customer progressed well, building a pipeline for future growth. Exports of backhoe loader (BHL) driveline systems remained healthy. Sales of drivelines to Indian construction equipment customers rose approximately 9% during 2025-26, even as the broader construction equipment market declined by around 2%. Sales to domestic BHL customers grew despite a nearly 10% decline in the wider market.

The Board approved a capital expenditure programme of approximately ₹623 Million to expand axle manufacturing capacity from approximately 134,028 units to approximately 154,160 units over the next 18 months, supporting expected demand across both agricultural and construction applications.

Others Segment (Gears, Spare Parts and Engineering Services)

The Others segment recorded steady growth. Revenue rose 25% year-on-year to ₹2,526 Million from ₹2,019 Million in 2024-25, accounting for 11.2% of total revenue (Calculated by FirmsWorld).

The gears business remained relatively subdued, though the company secured a business nomination from a major OEM for bull gears valued at approximately ₹15 Crore per annum from 2027-28 onwards. New customer programmes continued to progress.

The aftermarket business received strategic focus. The company inaugurated its first authorised service centre in Faridabad and continued expanding its customer support and service network. These initiatives aim to strengthen customer engagement and support spare parts sales.

Engineering services continued to build, supported by rising demand for advanced solutions, electrification-related projects, and higher-horsepower drivetrain development. Engineering services revenue reached ₹100 Million during 2025-26.

Source: Carraro India Limited Annual Report 2025-26.

Domestic sales stood at ₹14,430 Million (up 19% from ₹12,155 Million), while export sales reached ₹8,125 Million (up 37% from ₹5,921 Million). Export growth was led by construction equipment programmes, particularly TBH axles for a global OEM, and recovering demand for tractor axles in international markets.

Domestic Operations (India)

All manufacturing and primary R&D activities are based in India at Ranjangaon, Pune. The company serves leading domestic OEMs in agricultural tractors and construction equipment. Domestic demand was supported by the structural shift to 4WD tractors and infrastructure-related construction activity. The domestic agricultural equipment market remained a key contributor.

Export Markets

Exports grew strongly, driven by construction equipment (TBH and BHL programmes) and indirect channels through Indian OEM customers gaining traction globally. Specific country-level revenue breakdowns are not separately disclosed. The company supplies to markets including Europe, the United States, Latin America, and the Middle East, as noted in foreign exchange discussions. Indirect exports of agricultural drivelines remained soft, but overall export momentum was positive.

Manufacturing and office footprint remains concentrated in India, with the registered office and plants at B2/2 MIDC, Ranjangaon, Pune. The company leverages the global Carraro Group network for technology and market access.

• Raw material and margin pressure risk: Input cost volatility; mitigated by indexed pricing, efficiency, and cost reduction
• Geopolitical and supply chain risk: Disruptions and tariffs; mitigated by dual-sourcing and buffer stock
• Cybersecurity and data privacy risk: Increasing technology use; mitigated by enhanced IT security and DPDPA compliance
• Internal market overlap risk: Competitive dynamics; mitigated by geographical segmentation and IP purchase
• Slowdown in construction equipment demand, global economic/trade uncertainties, product mix fluctuations, and dependence on agricultural sector dynamics (monsoon, farm incomes, policies)

Conclusion and Strategic Outlook

Carraro India Limited delivered a year of strong execution in 2025-26, its first full year as a listed company. Revenue growth of 25%, PAT growth of 48%, margin expansion, and leverage reduction demonstrate the strength of its business model and operational discipline.
