 "Maruti Suzuki Q2FY26 results: Profit up 8% at ₹3,349 cr, revenue jumps 13%")
India's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, on Friday reported a consolidated net profit of ₹3,349 crore during the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (Q2FY26), up 8 per cent from ₹3,102.5 crore during the same quarter last year. However, on a sequential basis, profit dropped 11.7 per cent from ₹3,792.4 crore on the back of increased expenses.
Revenue from operations for the quarter jumped 13 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹40,138.7 crore from ₹35,586.5 crore in Q2FY25. Sequentially, it increased by 9.6 per cent from ₹36,624.1 crore.
The automaker's total expenses stood at ₹39,018.4 crore, up 15 per cent Y-o-Y from ₹33,879.1 crore, driven by adverse commodity prices, unfavourable foreign exchange movements, higher sales promotion and advertisement costs, and lower non-operating income, the company said.
It reported an operating earnings before interest and taxes (Ebit) margin of 8.5 per cent in the quarter, down from 10.3 per cent a year ago.
