Why are Force Motors share price up 11% today? Know More
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 2, 2025, 11:03 IST
Shares of Force Motors rallied over 11% on Thursday, hitting ₹9,933 in early trade as investor sentiment turned bullish ahead of its expected April sales update. The stock was also buoyed by the company's robust Q4 FY25 earnings and a healthy dividend declaration.
The primary trigger for today's sharp move is optimism around Force Motors' April sales performance. In March 2025, the company reported a domestic sales jump of 11.02% to 3,606 units from 3,248 units in March 2024. Total vehicle sales stood at 3,700 units, marginally up from 3,688 units last year. While exports in March declined sharply by 77.6%, the domestic momentum, especially in LCVs, remains intact.
In its latest quarterly results announced post-market on April 25, Force Motors posted a massive 210% YoY surge in net profit to ₹434.7 crore in Q4 FY25, compared to ₹140.3 crore in Q4 FY24. Revenue rose by 17.1% to ₹2,356 crore, while EBITDA grew 18.2% YoY to ₹329.3 crore. The EBITDA margin improved slightly to 14% from 13.9%.
Adding to the bullish sentiment, the company's board recommended a dividend of ₹40 per share, subject to shareholder approval.
Force Motors, which discontinued its tractor business from March 31, 2024, continues to focus on small and light commercial vehicles (SCVs and LCVs), and utility transport through its Traveller and Trax range.

Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Officials recover black box from crash site – Know how important this device is
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 13, 2025, 15:23 IST A major breakthrough in the investigation into the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 has emerged, as police officials told Reuters that a black box has been recovered from the crash site. This vital device, which contains both the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), will be critical in determining the events leading up to the crash that claimed 241 lives. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited those injured in the incident, including the lone survivor, offering reassurance and support to them and their families. 'The entire nation is praying for their speedy recovery,' the PM said, calling the crash a national tragedy. Meanwhile, survivor Bhoomi Chauhan, a resident of Bharuch, shared her miraculous escape. Chauhan was supposed to be on the flight but missed it by just 10 minutes due to traffic in Ahmedabad. 'When I came to know that the flight had crashed, I was totally numb. I thank my mother Goddess that I am safe,' she said, visibly shaken by the terrifying ordeal. Authorities continue to search through the debris for more clues. Investigators have pinned their hopes on the black box, which could offer insight into the aircraft's systems and cockpit conversations prior to the crash. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12, hitting a residential block near the airport and bringing the total confirmed death toll to 317, including civilians on the ground.
