thebalanced.newsHyundai Motor India Q4 Profit Falls 22% Amid Revenue Growth and Higher Costs
Hyundai Motor India reported a 22.2% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to approximately Rs 1,256 crore for Q4 FY26, despite a 5.4% rise in revenue to around Rs 18,916 crore. The profit drop was attributed to higher expenses, including commodity price increases, labour costs, and an unfavourable product mix with growth in lower-margin sedans and hatchbacks. Vehicle sales rose 8.7% to over 2.08 lakh units. For FY26, net profit fell 4% to about Rs 5,432 crore, with revenue increasing 2.3% to Rs 70,763 crore. The board recommended a Rs 21 per share dividend. Hyundai plans to expand its Pune plant capacity to 1.14 million units by 2030 and expects 8-10% domestic volume growth in FY27, supported by new SUV launches and strategic initiatives.
