Universal Autofoundry Limited reported revenue growth of 10% year-on-year to Rs 549 million for Q2FY26, driven by 19% volume growth during the quarter.

A 5MW solar power plant was commissioned in July 2025, expected to reduce power and fuel costs from Q3.

Current capacity utilization stands at 50% with expectations to improve as unit 3 ramps up production.
