In a mixed bag of results, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd revealed that its Q4 FY26 net profit slid 6.4% to ₹3,659 crore from ₹3,911 crore YoY, following a ₹3,879 crore performance in Q3. The announcement came amid robust revenue growth that outpaced expectations.
Quarterly revenue rocketed 28% to ₹52,462.5 crore, a 5% increase from the prior quarter’s ₹49,904 crore. Over the entire FY26, profit after tax rose marginally by 0.8% to ₹14,619 crore, supported by 20% revenue expansion to ₹1,83,316 crore from FY25’s ₹1,52,913 crore.
Balance sheet strength shone through with total assets reaching ₹1,48,881 crore by March 2026 end, bolstered by non-current assets of ₹1,09,923.6 crore. The company produced 23.4 lakh vehicles annually, reflecting steady demand.
Boosting investor confidence, a ₹140 per share final dividend was approved, up from ₹135 last year. Shares reacted negatively, tumbling 2.51% to ₹12,890 on NSE, as markets digested the profit contraction.
Industry watchers note that while input costs and softer margins pressured profits, Maruti’s volume growth and dividend hike signal long-term stability. The auto giant remains pivotal to India’s mobility landscape.
