The automotive component manufacturer also posted its highest-ever profit after tax of Rs 3,803 crores, representing a 40% year-on-year growth.
The company’s EBITDA reached Rs 10,877 crores, up 17% from FY24, while maintaining a return on capital employed of 17.2% despite industry headwinds and expansion activities. Net debt to EBITDA stood at 0.9 times, indicating a comfortable leverage position.
Chairman Vivek Chaand Sehgal attributed the performance to the company’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities, noting that Motherson outpaced the automotive industry by approximately 15%. The growth was supported by content expansion and mergers and acquisitions, with the company completing a record 23 acquisitions during the five-year period.
SAMIL invested Rs 4,433 crores in capital expenditure during FY25, with 14 greenfield projects at various completion stages and nine more facilities expected to begin operations in FY26. The company’s booked business value exceeded USD 88 billion, which includes both automotive and non-automotive segments.
The results come as Motherson marks its 50th anniversary. Originally established in 1986 as a joint venture between Motherson and Sumitomo Wiring Systems, the company went public in 1993 and has since expanded to operate over 400 facilities across 44 countries.
Today, SAMIL serves nearly all leading automobile manufacturers globally and has diversified into non-automotive sectors including technology, industrial solutions, healthcare, medical devices, aerospace, and logistics. The company ranks as India’s largest auto ancillary firm and is among the top 15 automotive suppliers worldwide.
The company addressed trade barrier concerns, stating that most impacts have been mitigated through US MCA compliance, with ongoing discussions with customers regarding tariff-related cost pass-through arrangements.
SAMIL employs over 200,000 people globally and was recognized as one of the Best Companies for 2024 by TIME magazine. The company’s diversification strategy and global presence positioned it to navigate market volatility while maintaining focus on free cash flow generation and debt reduction.
