Positioning
Schaeffler India presents itself as a supplier across Automotive Technologies, Vehicle Lifetime Solutions and Bearings and Industrial Solutions, with a Q3 2026 sales mix of 37% / 11% / 35% plus 17% IC exports.

📈 Standalone Q3 2026 revenue was INR 30,058 mn, up 27.4% YoY and 12.1% QoQ; 9M 2026 revenue was INR 81,942 mn, up 21.4%. PAT rose to INR 3,704 mn (12.3% margin) and EBITDA to INR 5,617 mn, though EBITDA margin slipped to 18.7% from 20.2% a year earlier.

🌍 Growth was broad: Automotive Technologies up 34.9% YoY, Vehicle Lifetime Solutions 22.0%, Bearings and Industrial Solutions 14.7%, and intercompany exports 46.3%. The company says domestic business grew 24.0% YoY.

📉 Cash generation weakened: free cash flow fell to INR 408 mn, down 81.7% YoY, as working capital rose to INR 22,481 mn (20.7% of sales for 9M) and quarterly capex jumped to INR 1,822 mn. Management states working capital, driven by inventories and overdues, remains in focus and that the capex framework is on track.
