Bajaj Auto Reports 34% Q4 Profit Rise, Announces Rs 5,633 Crore Share Buyback

Bajaj Auto reported a strong Q4 FY26 performance with standalone net profit rising 34% year-on-year to Rs 2,746 crore and revenue increasing 32% to Rs 16,006 crore, driven by record volumes, improved product mix, and favorable currency movements. The company announced a Rs 5,633 crore share buyback at Rs 12,000 per share and recommended a Rs 150 per share dividend. Consolidated profit after tax nearly doubled to Rs 3,492 crore, supported by robust domestic and export demand. Management cautioned on potential demand slowdown due to rising costs and price hikes.
