By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 28, 2025, 16:04 IST
Castrol India Limited announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (Q1 2025), reporting a steady increase in both revenue and profitability. Despite external macroeconomic challenges, the company managed to deliver a robust performance, driven by brand strength, innovative product launches, and strategic distribution expansion.
The company's revenue from operations stood at ₹1,422 crore, up 7% year-on-year (YoY) compared to ₹1,325 crore in the same quarter last year. Profit after tax (PAT) rose by 8% YoY to ₹233 crore, compared to ₹216 crore reported in Q1 2024. Profit before tax (PBT) also increased by 7% YoY to ₹313 crore.
The growth was supported by the relaunch of Castrol Activ with Actibond technology, a strategic move to strengthen its leadership in the two-wheeler engine oil category. The brand's new positioning was amplified through a high-profile campaign featuring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Castrol also expanded its distribution reach, now covering nearly 1.48 lakh outlets nationwide, reflecting its focus on enhancing last-mile delivery and customer access.
The company faced macro headwinds including input cost pressures, forex volatility, and inflationary trends, but continued to prioritize customer-centric innovation, operational excellence, and strategic partnerships to mitigate these challenges.
Castrol India Managing Director and CEO Sandeep Sangwan said, 'We continue to navigate challenges through strong brand equity, customer-focused strategies, and continuous innovation. Our transformation journey remains on track as we explore new growth avenues while further strengthening our core business.'
The company also mentioned its strategic progress in expanding into service and maintenance solutions under the Castrol Auto Service (CAS) network. Castrol Auto Service, now having a strong presence in over 300 outlets across India, remains a key focus area for future growth.
