Kennametal India Limited (KIL) reported a 7.7% year-on-year increase in sales for Q3 FY25, reaching ₹2,896 million, up from ₹2,688 million in the same period last year. The growth was driven by strong domestic demand across the Hard Metals and Machine Tools segments.

However, Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at ₹328 million, down from ₹517 million in Q3 FY24 and remained flat compared to the previous quarter.
Vijaykrishnan Venkatesan, Managing Director of KIL, attributed the sales growth to strategic customer wins and the company's focus on delivering integrated solutions. He said the company would now focus on maintaining topline growth and improving operational efficiency.
Supported by healthy cash flows, KIL declared an interim dividend of ₹40 per share for FY25, up from ₹30 per share in FY24.
