Commenting on the financial performance of the company during the quarter, Mr. M C Garg, chairman, Goodluck India, said, “We have been witnessing buoyant demand for our products across all sectors and this has helped shore up our sales significantly during the quarter. We have been able to register a 8 per cent growth in revenues on the back of higher sales and increased offtake of high-margin value added products. This has helped boost our profitability. Moving forward, we expect the new hydraulic tube plant in Uttar Pradesh to generate additional revenues for the company. This, coupled with our increasing focus on value added products aimed at the defence and aerospace segments, is likely to give a huge boost to our margins in the coming quarters.”
The company recently inaugurated hydraulic tubes manufacturing unit with an installed capacity of 50,000 MT at Sikandrabad in Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh. The highly specialised hydraulic tubes will replace seamless tubes and act as an import substitute thereby leading to significant savings on foreign exchange besides boosting the company’s topline and bottomline.
Goodluck India hopes to commence trial production at new facility of its Subsidiary Company – M/s Goodluck Defence and Aerospace Limited at Sikandrabad by the first quarter of FY-26 (2025-26). The unit, which has a capacity to produce approximately 150,000 pieces per annum, will carry out the business of forging, machining, treatment and coating of steel, stainless and special steel, alloys, with a view to cater to the extensive needs of Defence & Aerospace Industry.
The company, which had recently supplied and fabricated steel bridges for the high-speed bullet train project, expects a good demand for critical steel bridges in the country on the back of recent government proposal to initiate feasibility studies for bullet train corridors in North, South and East India.
Goodluck India currently has six manufacturing facilities with a total capacity of 4,50,000 MT per annum spread across two states – Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. The company has been strategically focused on high margin value-added products catering to high-growth segments such as auto, solar, railways and defence.
