Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) announced its financial results for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26, reporting an 8.1% rise in revenue and a 1.7% increase in net profit year-on-year. The company also recorded a marginal improvement in profit before tax (PBT), though it experienced pressure on operating margins.

Compared to the same quarter last year, Maruti Suzuki demonstrated stable growth in top-line revenue, supported by moderate volume growth. However, operating profit margins faced downward pressure, primarily due to adverse cost factors.

In the context of the broader automobile sector, Maruti Suzuki’s revenue growth of 8.1% and net profit increase of 1.7% are in line with sectoral expectations. However, the decline in operating margins may raise concerns amid rising input costs and foreign exchange volatility.
The company’s ability to maintain stable profitability despite margin headwinds reflects effective cost management and diversified income streams, such as increased non-operating income. Export performance was notably strong compared to many peers, partially offsetting domestic market challenges.
In the official investor presentation, the management highlighted the quarter’s performance in a regulatory communication dated 31st July 2025. The presentation noted several strategic initiatives undertaken during the quarter, including:
Ongoing cost reduction efforts
Managing the impact of external cost pressures
Progress on the new Kharkhoda greenfield plant, which, though a short-term cost factor, is part of the long-term capacity expansion strategy.
