Maruti Suzuki Q2 Profit Falls 26% Amid Rising Costs; Revenue and Sales Increase
Maruti Suzuki India reported a 26-27% year-on-year decline in net profit to around Rs 2,415-2,466 crore for Q2 FY27, despite a 26% rise in revenue to approximately Rs 53,340-53,356 crore. The profit drop was attributed to higher input costs linked to the West Asia conflict, rising commodity prices, and increased expenses, including logistics and capacity investments. Vehicle sales reached a record 696,654 units, with strong growth in small cars and SUVs. The company also noted risks to rural demand from weak monsoon rains and plans further price hikes to offset cost pressures.
