ROCE rose to 30.1%, aided by higher asset utilization and a strategic shift towards high-margin product segments.

Trimaan Chandock, executive director of BFIL, stated, “Our revenue from operations for FY25 reached Rs. 924 crore, marking the highest revenue in the company’s history. This reflects the strong growth of 65.0% compared to revenues of Rs 560 crore in FY24. In Q4FY25, we delivered revenues of Rs 270 crore, driven by steady demand in our core business, along with significant contributions from emerging sectors such as defense, aerospace, and railways.

For the full year, our EBITDA grew by 110.8% to Rs 251 crore, leading to a significant improvement in margins, and profit after tax accelerated to Rs 204 crore, further reflecting our operational efficiency and strong execution. This performance underscores our ability to scale operations, leverage manufacturing capabilities, and diversify successfully across industries.

In FY25, we made significant CAPEX investments in expanding our manufacturing capabilities and upgrading our technology to better serve critical sectors such as defense, aerospace, and railways. These strategic initiatives are set to be fully commissioned in the first half of FY26 and are poised to deliver significant results in the coming years, positioning us to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the growth prospects for FY26. Our order book is growing, diversified, and high quality, with the company well-positioned to capture further opportunities in high-value, high-margin sectors.
