Honda India Power turned on the heat in Q4 FY25, posting a whopping 128% year-on-year profit jump. That sent its shares rocketing to the 20% upper circuit on the markets. On a sequential basis, net profit surged 89.42%, while net sales rose 31.59% compared to Q3 FY25.
The company’s profit before tax (PBT) stood tall at ₹48.65 crore, a 134% jump from last year and 89% higher than the previous quarter. Clearly, someone hit the turbo button this quarter.
Why should this matter to the average person?
Because it’s rare to see such strong numbers from a company selling portable generators, lawnmowers, and water pumps. And when a player like Honda India Power, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co. Japan, reports this kind of growth, it signals rising rural and semi-urban demand—and better infrastructure spending.
For everyday investors? It’s a green light. For everyday users? It means these products are in demand, possibly due to more erratic power supplies or an uptick in small-scale farming and commercial usage.
But there’s a catch: The full year tells a different story
While Q4 looked like a blockbuster sequel, the full-year FY25 numbers were more of a box-office flop. Net profit dropped 13.31% to ₹79.94 crore. Net sales fell 19.70% to ₹794.23 crore. PBT for the year slid 12.96% compared to FY24.
Think of it as Honda India Power sprinting in the last lap after jogging through most of the marathon.

Cash flow? Running dry.
Operating cash flow also dropped sharply—from ₹105.64 crore in FY24 to just ₹22.09 crore in FY25. That’s a steep 79% fall. For a company that’s otherwise known for consistency, that kind of drop can raise a few eyebrows.
Still, there’s a bright spot: the company has recommended a ₹21.50 per share dividend. For long-term shareholders, that’s a solid payout.
A closer look at the engine behind the numbers
Honda India Power has long dominated India’s power product segment. It’s best known for manufacturing and marketing portable generators, water pumps, general-purpose engines, and other essential machinery like lawnmowers and power tillers.
These aren’t glamorous products, but they power farms, construction sites, and rural homes. When those markets grow, Honda India Power grows too.
And Q4 suggests that something clicked—whether it’s pent-up demand, inventory clearing, or smart cost management.
So what’s next?
Investors will now watch whether Q4 was a one-time spike or the beginning of a turnaround. The full-year dip shows the brand still faces headwinds, but the quarterly bounce—and the generous dividend—suggest confidence in what lies ahead.
In an economy where many firms are struggling to stay afloat, Honda India Power didn’t just stay in the race—it floored it in the last lap.
Let’s just hope the tank stays full for FY26.
