Maruti profit falls 6.4% in Q4, revenue rises 29% & more related news here

New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki had a record year in 2025-26 in terms of revenue and sales, but rising costs hit profits. The automaker posted consolidated revenue of over Rs 1.8 lakh crore, up 19.9% ​​year-on-year, with total sales of 24.2 lakh vehicles. Net profit, however, barely budged (rising 1.2% to Rs 14.68 billion) as higher material, employee and depreciation costs squeezed margins.The March quarter told a similar story: revenue rose 28.6% to Rs 52,462 crore, but net profit fell 6.4% to Rs 3,659 crore.RC Bhargava, president of Maruti Suzuki India, said the auto industry has returned to a growth phase, helped by increased consumer demand and government support, including lower taxes on small cars. He said Maruti expects to launch around 2.5 lakh more vehicles this year as supply bottlenecks ease and new capacity comes online. The biggest limitation right now, he said, is not whether people want to buy cars but how many the company can actually make. Maruti is adding new production lines that will bring in approximately 5 lakh units of additional annual capacity this year.
