New Delhi: BEML Limited, a prominent Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Defence, has reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending March 31, 2025, registering record profitability despite a marginal dip in annual revenue.
In the fourth quarter of FY25, BEML posted a net profit of Rs 288 crore, up 12 percent from Rs 257 crore in the same period last year. Profit before tax (PBT) rose to Rs 395 crore, reflecting a 14 percent year-on-year increase, while revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,653 crore, marking a 6 percent rise over Rs 1,514 crore reported in Q4 FY'24. The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) climbed 14 percent to Rs 427 crore from Rs 375 crore.
For the full fiscal year, BEML’s revenue marginally declined to Rs 4,022 crore from Rs 4,054 crore in FY'24. However, the company delivered its highest-ever annual net profit of Rs 294 crore, a 4 percent increase from Rs 283 crore in the previous year. Annual PBT rose 6 percent to Rs 405 crore, and EBITDA grew 9 percent to Rs 531 crore. The company also improved its EBITDA margin to 13.20 percent, up from 11.98 percent in FY24, indicating stronger operational efficiency.
“Our strong FY25 performance reflects BEML’s focus on operational excellence, innovation, and nation-building,” said the company’s Chairman and Managing Director. “As we step into a strategic growth phase, we’ve secured land in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to set up new manufacturing facilities for Rail & Metro and Mining & Construction equipment. These will boost our production capacity and contribute to India’s self-reliance in critical sectors.”
BEML is now gearing up to expand its presence in key areas such as defence, metro rail, aerospace, and electric mining equipment. The company is aligning its growth with the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative by strengthening local manufacturing and focusing on indigenisation.
With a robust order book, growing international interest, and continued investment in innovation and sustainability, BEML is poised to maintain its growth trajectory and create long-term value for its stakeholders.
