Bharat Forge has chosen not to offer any forecasts for the exports division for financial year 2026, stating that the priority will be on enhancing consolidated profitability.

B.N. Kalyani, the Chairman & Managing Director of the company, mentioned in an exchange filing that, for FY26, they are currently not providing any forecasts for the export sector (which accounts for 30% of consolidated revenues) due to the unpredictability and lack of clarity stemming from the tariff situation.

According to Kalyani, their primary focus will be on enhancing consolidated profitability through the following internal initiatives: minimising losses in the E-Mobility division; assessing options for the steel sector in Europe; boosting operational efficiency in the Aluminum division to significantly cut losses; capitalising on their manufacturing capabilities in North America to secure new business; and concentrating on acquiring new contracts in traditional forgings, Defence, Aerospace, and castings to maintain their growth momentum.
