Mumbai, 3 June 2025 – Uravi Defence & Technology Ltd (NSE: URAVI, BSE: 543930), a leading Indian automotive lighting manufacturer, announced robust financial results for FY2025, showcasing explosive profit growth and strategic strides into the defence sector that signal transformative potential for investors.
Financial Triumph: Margins Surge, Profits Skyrocket
The company’s consolidated FY25 performance reveals compelling momentum:
- Total Income: ₹44.60 Crores
- Net Profit (PAT): ₹1.95 Crores (+161% QoQ growth in Q4)
- EBITDA: ₹6.75 Crores (Margin: 15.13%)
- Basic EPS: ₹2.31
Q4 FY25 was particularly striking, with PAT surging 161.28% quarter-on-quarter to ₹0.81 Crores – underscoring accelerating operational efficiency and cost discipline. Standalone revenue from core automotive operations remained strong at ₹42.23 Crores, while the newly established defence vertical contributed ₹2.23 Crores in its debut year.
Strategic Pivot: Defence Diversification Takes Flight
Uravi’s rebranding from “Uravi T and Wedge Lamps Limited” to Uravi Defence & Technology Ltd reflects a calculated expansion beyond automotive lighting. Key moves include:
- Acquiring 50.01% stake in SKL India Pvt. Ltd (September 2024), making it a subsidiary.
- Establishing Bharat Technology Ltd as a UK-based wholly-owned subsidiary.
- Defence now contributes 5% of total revenue (₹2.23 Cr), with ambitions to scale this high-margin segment.
CEO Niraj Gada emphasized: “Our defence diversification is unlocking strategic value. With enhanced capabilities and a global footprint, we’re positioned to capitalize on domestic and international opportunities in defence tech.”
Core Strength: Automotive Dominance Intact
Despite its defence ambitions, Uravi remains an automotive powerhouse:
- India’s largest manufacturer of instrument cluster lamps.
- #2 player in OEM signalling/parking lamps.
- Brands like “UVAL” supply critical lighting components (stoplights, taillights, wedge lamps) to OEMs and aftermarkets nationwide.
- Three manufacturing plants across Maharashtra and Jammu & Kashmir ensure scalable production.
Future Outlook: Order Book & Global Ambitions
Management highlights a “strong order book” and plans to leverage:
- Expanding defence portfolio via subsidiaries.
- Global partnerships to export automotive lighting.
- Operational excellence driving margin resilience (Q4 EBITDA margin: 17.73% consolidated).
Investor Takeaway
Uravi’s FY25 results reveal a company in transition: profitable automotive operations fuel its high-stakes defence pivot. With PAT growth exceeding 160% in Q4 and strategic subsidiaries now operational, Uravi Defence & Technology offers a unique play on India’s defence manufacturing boom – while maintaining its auto-industry legacy.
