Kennametal India Sustains Growth Momentum with Strong Q2 FY26 Performance
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Kennametal India Limited (KIL) posted revenues of Rs 3340 Mn, marking a growth of 16.4% over Rs 2870 Mn in the same period last year. Profit Before Tax stood at Rs 353 Mn (includes a one-time cost of Rs 34 Mn due to implementation of new labour codes), up 9% from Rs 324 Mn in Q2 FY25.
