Maruti Suzuki Q2 Profit Falls 26% Amid Revenue Growth and Rising Costs
Maruti Suzuki India reported a 26-27% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 2,466 crore for Q2 FY27, despite a 26% increase in revenue to approximately Rs 53,355 crore. The profit drop was attributed to rising input costs, including raw materials and expenses linked to the West Asia conflict, which outweighed gains from higher vehicle sales. The company achieved record quarterly vehicle sales of nearly 697,000 units, with strong growth in small cars and SUVs. Operating profit rose sequentially, while non-operating income declined sharply.
