BMW Industries shares soar nearly 12% on reporting its highest-ever net profit in FY25
BMW Industries posted a 17.7 percent rise in PAT to ₹ 75 crore in FY25, compared to ₹ 63.75 crore in FY24. Total income for the year grew 6 percent to ₹ 638.7 crore from ₹ 602.5 crore a year earlier. The company also declared a final dividend of 43 paise per share, subject to shareholder approval.
While the annual results were strong, Q4FY25 performance was slightly subdued on the profitability front. The company reported a 7.4 percent YoY decline in PAT to ₹ 17.6 crore, down from ₹ 19 crore in Q4FY24. However, on a sequential basis, profit rose 2.3 percent from ₹ 17.2 crore in Q3FY25.
Total income in Q4 grew 17.4 percent YoY to ₹ 161.5 crore and 8.6 percent sequentially. Operating performance, however, was mixed. EBITDA declined 3.7 percent YoY to ₹ 37.76 crore, while margins contracted 514 basis points to 23.4 percent due to higher input and operational costs.
Commenting on the company's performance for FY25, Mr. Ram Gopal Bansal, Chairman of BMW Industries Limited, expressed satisfaction with the company's growth trajectory and strategic progress.
'We are pleased to inform you that BMW Industries Ltd. has maintained steady progress in FY25. The Company reported a total income of ₹ 63,869 lakhs in FY25. Profit After Tax for the year stood at ₹ 7,505 lakhs, with a margin of 11.8 percent, reflecting robust growth of 17.7 percent compared to the previous fiscal,' Bansal said.
He further announced that the Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of 43 paise per share, subject to shareholder approval.
Highlighting key milestones achieved during the fiscal year, Bansal said the company renewed multiple contracts with long-standing customers, which would extend through FY29.
'These contracts stand as a testament to the enduring trust placed in us by one of India's most distinguished industrial institutions,' he noted. 'This engagement further consolidates our position as a reliable and value-accretive partner in the steel value chain.'
Bansal also shed light on the company's forward-looking investments, particularly a new greenfield project underway in Bokaro, Jharkhand. The facility, focused on coated/plated steel, will be developed with a capital outlay of ₹ 803 crore.
'With this strategically located facility set to commence Phase 1 operations towards the end of FY26, we are also honoured to be qualified under the PLI Scheme 1.1 of the Honourable Ministry of Steel, Government of India,' he said.
Looking ahead, Bansal emphasized BMW Industries' transition from a purely value-added conversion business to a diversified steel processing model.
'This shift represents not just a broadening of our revenue streams, but a structural transformation in the way we operate and create value,' he said. 'While this transition may be gradual, it sets the foundation for long-term sustainable growth. We remain committed to disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation, and delivering long-term value for our stakeholders.'
With record profits, long-term contracts secured, and a bold investment roadmap in place, Bansal expressed optimism about BMW Industries' ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities within the steel value chain.
The smallcap stock rose as much as 11.7 percent to its day's high of ₹ 59.75. Despite the sharp rally on Wednesday, BMW Industries remains 24 percent below its 52-week high of ₹ 79.05, hit in August 2024. That said, the stock has gained 52 percent from its 52-week low of ₹ 39.36, recorded in March 2025.
In the last one year, the stock is still down over 16 percent, though sentiment appears to be turning. It has gained over 20 percent in May so far, reversing a three-month losing streak. The stock had declined 1 percent in April, 3.7 percent in March, and 12 percent in February, but rose 4.5 percent in January.

7.3cr fraud: Man who gave docus to open mule a/c held
1 2 Mumbai: A Chembur resident was recently arrested by south region cyber police in a Rs 7.3-crore investment fraud case for allegedly allowing his address to be used to open a bank account for a shell company to which part of the money was diverted. The victim, a 63-year-old south Mumbai businessman, was shown profits of Rs 31 crore in a virtual wallet. Police said the fraudsters asked the suspect, Rahul Gawli (41), to visit Goa, where they opened a bank account in a fake company's name and used his and another accused's documents for it. Gawli was assured of a monthly pay in exchange. The gang operated the company's account, to which the complainant sent Rs 5 lakh. The complainant lodged a police complaint on May 17 stating that he was added to a WhatsApp group through a link in Feb. A woman, Riya Bansal, and some other gang members pretended to be representatives of a private company that manages the portfolios of investors. In a WhatsApp message, Bansal told the businessman that they would invest his money in the primary market and that he would stand to earn huge profits.

Using UPI data, govt cracks down on unregistered traders to boost GST revenue
Bengaluru: In a significant move to increase tax collections, the govt has begun using Unified Payments Interface (UPI) data to identify traders, especially those accepting payments via QR codes, who have evaded goods and services tax (GST) registration. After analysing UPI transactions, the commercial taxes department recently issued notices to some 14,000 traders. Officials say these individuals have crossed the mandatory GST registration thresholds but failed to register. Under GST rules, traders selling goods with an annual turnover above Rs 40 lakh or offering services above Rs 20 lakh are required to register. Those with turnover below Rs 1.5 crore can opt for the composite scheme, paying 1% tax without availing input tax credit. Vipul Bansal, commissioner, commercial taxes, said the crackdown is not just about revenue but fairness.

They too should abide by the law. It is also fair to those who are already paying tax," Bansal said. Currently, the state has about 10.3 lakh traders registered under GST. Officials estimate that at least another one lakh will be added through this enforcement drive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Is a Family Trust, and How Do You Set One Up? SmartAsset Learn More Undo This move is seen as critical to meeting the govt's ambitious commercial tax target of Rs 1.2 lakh crore this fiscal. So far, only Rs 26,241 crore has been collected, indicating a 13% shortfall. Taxing unregistered businesses could yield an additional Rs 10,000 crore. However, the enforcement has caused concern among small business owners, particularly grocery stores, bakeries, and vegetable vendors. Many have reported being asked to pay tax arrears dating back to 2021, with liabilities ranging from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 50 lakh — amounts they say are unmanageable in one go. "The govt's move is welcome and its intent unquestionable," said trade activist Sajjan Raj Mehta. "But it should not lead to harassment from tax officials as most traders tracked through UPI are small businessmen. The govt should be considerate to them." Traders argue that not all UPI transactions reflect business income, citing personal payments and fund transfers. However, officials say only traders receiving over Rs 40 lakh through UPI were targeted, and that these digital payments likely underestimate total turnover, which could include cash and card sales as well. BT Manohar, a member of Karnataka State GST Advisory Council, emphasised the need for fairness. "The drive has spread awareness among traders about GST rules and there is no denying that those liable must pay tax," he said. "If there are personal payments through UPI other than business transactions, then traders should be given the opportunity to present their case." The govt has clarified that hawkers and sales of exempted goods like bread will remain outside the GST ambit. Only sales of taxable goods, including items attracting 5% GST, including condiments will be scrutinised, besides those falling under the higher slabs. Bansal added: "The govt is ready to give traders a fair hearing and help them if their cases are genuine. The law allows traders to pay tax arrears in instalments and we will provide all possible help and support to them."
