Kennametal India Limited (KIL) reported its third-quarter FY25 results (ended 31 March 2025), with sales totalling Rs 2,896 million, up 7.7 per cent year on year from Rs 2,688 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
Profit before tax (PBT) were Rs 328 million, down from Rs 517 million in Q3 FY24 and broadly flat sequentially. The sales increase was driven by stronger demand in the domestic market across both the Hard Metals and Machine Tools segments.
