Maruti profit climbs 8 percent in Q2
Maruti Suzuki India Limited reported a 7.94 percent increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 3,349 crore for the September quarter, up from Rs 3,102.5 crore a year earlier, driven by higher vehicle sales and strong demand. Standalone profit after tax rose 7.3 percent to Rs 3,293.1 crore. Total revenue from operations grew 13 percent year-on-year to Rs 42,344 crore.
EBITDA edged up to Rs 4,434 crore from Rs 4,417 crore, but the EBITDA margin fell to 10.5 percent from 11.9 percent due to rising input costs and pricing pressure. Despite the earnings gain, the company’s shares traded slightly lower at Rs 16,167 on the NSE.
In September 2025, Maruti’s production jumped 26 percent year-on-year to 201,915 units. Utility vehicles like Brezza, Ertiga, and Fronx saw a 27 percent output rise, and compact models including Baleno, Swift, and Dzire also posted strong growth. Analysts expect continued momentum in the second half of FY26, supported by festive demand, GST cuts, rural recovery, and new launches.
