The new plant will be a consolidated hub for defence energetics. The facility will have a high explosives manufacturing plant, an ammunition filling plant, and a gun propellant. Please note that they have also secured additional land for future expansion to include energetics for rockets, missile systems, space launch vehicles and advanced applications.
Agneyastra Energetics is a new company launched under Kalyani Strategic Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bharat Forge. This acquisition will permit Bharat Forge to establish a long-term foundation for defence production as well as track how the company is positioning itself within the domestic defence supply chain.
In Q1 of FY25, Bharat Forge delivered a subpar financial performance. Standalone revenue fell by 10% year-on-year to ₹2,105 crore, below poll estimates of ₹2,173 crore. The decline was primarily due to weaker export volumes.
EBITDA was ₹571 crore, which is 12.4% lower than the ₹652 crore reported in the same period last year. While the margin was 27.1% vs. 27.9% in Q1 FY24, the EBITDA margin fell short of the expected 28%.
Metric | Q1 FY25 | Q1 FY24 | Change | Poll Estimate |
Revenue (₹ crore) | 2,105 | 2,340 | -10% YoY | 2,173 |
EBITDA (₹ crore) | 571 | 652 | -12.4% YoY | 616 |
EBITDA Margin (%) | 27.1 | 27.9 | -0.8 p.p. | 28 |
Bharat Forge share price closed at ₹1,129.80 on the BSE on September 4, 2025, at 15:30 PM IST, representing a decrease of 0.51%. As an investor or market observer, this reflects a near-term market caution, though the company has more recently acquired land in Andhra Pradesh.
By acquiring a substantial land area in Andhra Pradesh, Bharat Forge is paving the way for a defence energetics complex with long-term potential. For you, the news provides a mixed viewpoint: the company is continuing to expand wisely, while the company's Q1 FY25 results show revenue and margin pressure. Comparing the historic Bharat Forge share price action with this news helps you better appreciate how the market values Bharat Forge's expansion strategy relative to its near-term financial results.
