Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Limited is navigating a critical transition as it balances its core lead-acid battery business with a massive, multi-year capital expenditure program in the New Energy space. Investors will be looking for signs of margin resilience amid elevated raw material costs and updates on the commissioning of key infrastructure projects like the Giga Cell factory.

The board meeting is scheduled for August 10, 2026, to consider the audited financial results and recommend dividend for FY2026.
The company enters Q1 FY27 with strong OEM demand tailwinds, as SIAM reported Q1 PV volumes grew 25.9% YoY and 2W volumes rose 20.3% YoY. While the New Energy segment achieved Rs. 280 Cr in revenue during Q4 FY26, the segment continues to face pressure with a full-year FY26 loss of Rs. 135.15 Cr. Margins remain constrained by elevated lead prices, which hovered in the Rs. 2.0-2.2 lakh per tonne band throughout the quarter, and rising finance costs that saw a 48% YoY increase in Q4 FY26. Management's long-term EBITDA margin target of 13-14% remains the key benchmark, though Q1 performance is expected to track closer to the recent 10.9% consolidated margin level. The upcoming call will likely focus on the commissioning status of the Customer Qualification Plant (CQP) and the funding roadmap for the remaining Rs. 1,200 Cr commitment required for the ARACT infrastructure projects.

The New Energy business generated Rs. 808.71 Cr in revenue for FY26. However, the segment reported a loss of Rs. 135.15 Cr for the same period.
As of March 2026, the company had infused Rs. 1,500 Cr into ARACT, with an additional Rs. 1,200 Cr needed for project completion. Management is balancing internal accruals with increased borrowings as evidenced by rising finance costs.
The company received an insurance settlement of Rs. 181.15 Cr (net) for the fire accident at the Chittoor plant. This was recorded as an exceptional income item in the FY26 financial results.
