Maruti Suzuki Q1 Profit Declines Amid Rising Costs, Revenue and Sales Increase
Maruti Suzuki India reported a 9-11% decline in net profit to around Rs 3,350 crore in Q1 FY27, primarily due to rising raw material costs exacerbated by geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Despite this, consolidated revenue increased about 36% year-on-year to approximately Rs 52,470 crore, supported by record sales volume growth of 29.3%, driven by strong demand for small cars and SUVs. The company’s domestic market share rose by 2.3 percentage points to 41.2%, aided by its new Kharkhoda plant. Inventory levels remained low at about 13 days, and the board approved initial compressed biogas projects.
