ZF CV India Q4 Profit Rises 26.5% in March 2025 Quarter

Driven by robust demand in the CV market and operational efficiency improvements, leading supplier of driveline and chassis components for commercial vehicles, ZF CV India, reported a 26.5% year-on-year increase in its net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 2025.

In Q4 FY25 the company reported a net profit of ₹137 crore, compared to ₹108 crore in the same quarter last year. Rising 18.2% year-on-year to ₹1,420 crore, revenue from operations highlights ongoing expansion in India's commercial vehicle sector.

The March 2025 quarter results demonstrate ZF CV India's ongoing popularity in the home CV sector, which has proven resilience in front of more general macroeconomic uncertainty. The company credited rising acceptance of advanced safety and driveline systems in medium-sized and heavy commercial vehicles as well as the ramp-up of new product lines meeting OEM changing needs for the explanation of the earnings growth.

"Our Q4 result emphasizes our portfolio's strength and our capacity to match market needs. A top ZF India executive noted on the ZF results, "despite headwinds in raw material costs, we maintained margins through localization efforts and efficiency initiatives."

During the quarter, fleet renewals and infrastructure-led demand surged in India's CV industry, therefore helping businesses like ZF CV India. Industry observers say that the increase in government spending and ongoing activity in important industries like construction and logistics has generated a tailwind for commercial vehicle makers—and their suppliers.

Notably, EBITDA for the quarter was at ₹212 crore, a rise of about 22% over the same period previous year. Rising from 14.2% in Q4 FY24, the EBITDA margin expanded to 14.9%. Analyzes see this as a good sign of ongoing operational leverage.

Now completely adopted Bharat Stage VI Phase 2 requirements, the demand for more environmentally friendly and efficient transportation solutions has helped businesses providing technologically advanced systems even more. To seize these possibilities, ZF CV India, a division of multinational auto-tech behemoth ZF Friedrichshafen AG, has been heavily funding R&D and local production.

Looking ahead, the business stays somewhat hopeful yet cautiously. Although supply chains and global uncertainty still cause issues, ZF India results show good positioning in a market under development.
