In Q1 FY27, Agri Machinery Products generated standalone revenue of ₹2,766.46 crore, while Construction Equipments contributed ₹419.63 crore. ## What changes now The company has appointed Mr. Vicky Chauhan as the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, effective August 18, 2026, succeeding Mr. Arvind Kumar.
