Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited (KOEL) is a flagship company of the Kirloskar Group and a leading manufacturer of internal combustion engines, agricultural equipment, and power generating sets. The company has traditionally operated in both Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Customer (B2C) segments, though it recently transferred its B2C business to a subsidiary to focus on core engineering strengths. KOEL maintains a significant presence in international markets and continues to expand its technological capabilities in advanced energy solutions.

The company recently announced a strategic capital allocation of approximately ₹1,400 Crores dedicated to capacity enhancement at its Kagal, Kolhapur plant. This investment is part of its “2B2B” goal to reach USD 2 billion in revenue by FY2030. In 2025, the company focused on expanding its product portfolio, including high-horsepower engines and sustainable energy solutions. It also successfully completed the slump sale of its B2C water management business to its wholly-owned subsidiary, KOEL Fluid Dynamics Private Limited, in October 2025.

For the final quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year, KOEL achieved revenue from operations of ₹1,534.71 Crores, compared to ₹1,380.61 Crores in the December 2025 quarter and ₹1,236.20 Crores in the March 2025 quarter. The net profit after tax from continuing operations reached ₹111.10 Crores for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
