Advancing emission technology capabilities
In a significant technology milestone, Tenneco Clean Air India recently completed a strategic proof of concept with a leading European truck OEM for a Euro VII-compliant clean air solution.

He added, “Over the past few years, the team has worked diligently to build a resilient, diversified, and execution-led business model. This was clearly demonstrated during the quarter and the year under review. Despite geopolitical headwinds since the end of February 2026 and the incremental overheads associated with becoming a listed entity, the team delivered FY2026 double-digit topline growth of 12% and, more importantly, a strong operating performance with the highest-ever EBITDA margin of 18.8%.”
