Castrol India Q1FY25, Steady Performance Amid Margin Pressure

posted a resilient Q1CY25, with net profit up 8% YoY at ₹234 Cr and revenue rising 7.3% to ₹1,422 Cr. EBITDA improved 4.7% YoY to ₹308 Cr; however, the margin slightly contracted to 21.6% from 22.2% in Q1CY24 due to higher input costs. Growth was supported by strong rural demand, the relaunch of Castrol Activ, and increased mechanic advocacy. Its network spans ~1.48 lakh outlets nationwide, and a new supply deal with Triumph for Castrol POWER1 strengthens its 2-wheeler oil positioning. Despite macro challenges, the company remains confident of sustaining growth and market leadership.
