One order is from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region for the supply of heavy-duty bulldozers. The second is a maiden order from Uzbekistan for the supply of a high-performance motor grader.
Fourth quarter
BEML logged a 12% rise in net profit at Rs 287.5 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, from Rs 257 crore in the same period last year. Revenue climbed 9.1% year-on-year to Rs 1,652.5 crore compared to Rs 1,514 crore in Q4 FY24, led by healthy performance across segments.
The company's EBITDA stood at Rs 422.6 crore, an improvement of 13.9% from the previous fiscal year, while operating margins increased to 25.57%. This growth indicates effective cost management and strong performance across all segments. Additionally, BEML had declared a second interim dividend of Rs 15 per equity share earlier in May, although a decision on the final dividend for FY25 has been deferred. The company's consistent financial health and strategic market expansions are likely to keep investor interest high.
